[IC] Young Justice: New Beginnings

[Kitty]

"Stupid Bats. Signed me up for stupid AP Physics..." Hayley muttered while staring at the problems infront of her.

[Demon Shinobi]

"Need help? You were letting me help you with science before the whole deathstroke thing. So I'm sure I can help you with this." Nathaniel said calmly.

[Kitty]

"No. I can do this." Hayley said stubbornly as she glared at the paper. She never had gotten an education until she became the apprentice of Black Arrow so the fact she was even attempting this right now was a big thing.

[Demon Shinobi]

"Alright. Then I'll just sit here quietly. Moral support ya know?" He said as he sped out and returned with a chair and sat beside her. He was still and quiet. Seriously. It was a surprise for Nate.

[Kitty]

After about 30 minutes Hayley put her chin onto her hand. Without looking she spoke to Nate, "Will you please help me on the Physics homework?" She asked too embarrassed to look at him.

[Demon Shinobi]

"Hmmm... Well." Nate looked at the work and then grabbed a clean sheet. "Alright." He scribbled down a fake problem a lot like the one she was doing. he wasn't gonna do it for her. He could tell she wanted to do it. He took things step by step and explained the details to her. In addition he related it to things he thought would help her understand better.

[Kitty]

Hayley nodded as he explained it. When he finished she was able to finish the homework quickly. When she finished she tackled Nate with a hug forgetting he currently wasn't wearing a shirt. "Thanks Nate. I thought my mind was going to explode. Also this doesn't mean that you aren't an idiot anymore. You just aren't an idiot along the lines of school." Hayley said smirking as she sat up to the point where she was currently straddling him.

[Demon Shinobi]

Nate's face was just a bit red, but still a bit noticeable as he looked up at Hayley now pretty much straddling him. "So um... is this my reward?" He asked with a slightly nervous and embarrassed chuckle. Sure he liked to play around and tease her. And make jokes, but he wasn't really used to this. He wasn't sure exactly what to do or say.

[Kitty]

"Wait what?" Hayley asked slighty confused until she noticed the position the were in. She quickly stood up and backed away cto her bed. A dark blush dusted her cheeks as she grabbed a pillow and chucked it at Nate's face. "Pervert!" She exclaimed. "You know I.. I wouldn't... I couldn't!" She stutered slightly not knowing what to say.

[Demon Shinobi]

Nate couldn't help, but laugh a little. "Calm down." he said smiling before throwing the pillow back. "It's not like I've ever done anything aside from kissing or anything. Relax. I know already." He said as he sat up trying to ease her mind.

[Kitty]

"Wait seriously... The great and flirtatious Nate has never done anything besides kissing?!" Hayley asked before cracking up and holding her stomach as she laughed fakely to tease him.

[Demon Shinobi]

Nate got up and smirked before pinning hayley down on her bed. "I just never met a girl I cared enough for to move to the next level." He said as he looked down at her. It was true, but he was mostly just messing with her right now.

[Kitty]

Hayley blushed lightly before looking towards the wall, finding it very interesting right now. Some how more interesting than her attractive boyfriend who was shirtless and pinning her down... on her bed... right now.

[Demon Shinobi]

Nathaniel smiled and got off her opting to lay down beside her. "Hayley... You know... I really love you." He said getting a bit serious for a moment. "So... You know. Thanks for being you... And... Well.. You know."

[Kitty]

Hayley smiled sweetly, yes she smiled... sweetly before kissing his cheek. "I love you too kid idiot." She said resting her head on his chest/shoulder slightly as she stared up at the ceiling. Had she just said those words... yes she has and she was surprised by it too. She definitely wasn't used to the feeling.

[Demon Shinobi]

Nathaniel put his arm around her, holding her close. This felt right. Still they probably couldn't stay like this for long. His mom was in the base. So was Jason. Eventually one of the two would come to see them.

[Kitty]

Hayley didn't know why but on instinct she cuddled closer and relaxed. She usually was always slightly tense seeing as danger could be anywhere but right now, next to Nate she felt safe and felt that she could relax.

[Demon Shinobi]

Nate smiled and closed his eyes. He was so calm. happy. Tired... Exhausted." Soon he was sleeping soundly beside Hayley. He couldn't help it. It was so nice.

[Kitty]

Nate wasn't the only one who fell asleep. Hayley was also sound asleep, curled against Nate. She felt content right now, for the first time in a long time.

[Demon Shinobi]

"Awww this is so cute." Jason said as he looked in from the open door. "I almost hate to wake them." Rose commented as she entered the room. She grabbed one of the chairs and sat by the bed. "Hello." She said as she slowly began to gently shake Hayley.
