Last Night

Relationship Blues

Beast Boy's POV 💚
"Would you fancy another of my bountiful arrangements, Rae?"

"Don't mind if I do."

The two of us were in the common room, seated on the couch.

Raven lay comfortably on my lap, resting her head on the side of the chair.

I held a chocolate covered strawberry and lowered it to her mouth as she nibbled on the end.

"Why are you doing this Gar?" She asked in between bites.

"I just wanna make you happy." I replied simply.

"Plus," I leaned down and pecked her on the lips then licked my own,"Now you taste like chocolate." I grinned and she rolled her violet eyes at me.

We heard a long adoring sigh and turned towards the hallway.

There stood Cyborg, leaning up against the doorframe, smiling at us.

"You guys are just too cute."

Raven looked back at me and whispered,"Now that's where you're wrong. He's the only cute one here." She joked and smiled up at me.

"Right back atcha mama." I winked at her and she giggled.

"My point exactly." Cyborg proclaimed and crossed his arms against his chest.
"I believe a 'thank you' is well overdue."

Rae scoffed,"For what?"

"Well if it weren't for me, none of this would've happened."

"Yeah, if it weren't for your stupidity."

"Hey!" He yelped, obviously offended.
"It doesn't matter how exactly, but if I hadn't stepped in, you'd still be at each other's throats."

Even though what he said was only partially true, I didn't want to get him further upset.

So I sighed and said,"Thank you Cy."

He smiled at me."You're welcome BB."

Then he realized what he was here for.
"Oh, and by the way BB, mind if I borrow your girlfriend for a second? I need my favorite helper to give me a hand with the T-Car."

Raven stiffened a bit,"I'm not his girlfriend."

I looked at her, then back at Cyborg with a panicked expression.

"You're not?" I asked.

Cyborg rubbed his hands together,"Oh sweet baby Jesus, it's about to go down! Would y'all wait for a sec while I go make some popcorn?... Nah I'm good, this'll be juicy!"He took a seat on the couch across from us.

We both chose to ignore his craziness.

"Well you never formally asked me..."
She looked everywhere but at my face.

"But if I were to ask you....would you say yes?" I stared at her expectantly, practically begging for a positive reply.

She pursed her lips.
"I'm sorry Garfield, but I don't think I'm ready to date you yet."

"Gasp!" said Cyborg, always being the dramatic one.

Star flew into the room.
"Good afternoon, friends!"
She quickly sensed the tension.
"Oh. Whatever seems to be the matter?"
