Liar

"YOU WANT ME TO ACT SERIOUS?! FINE, I'M SERIOUS, NOW! ARE YOU HAPPY?!"

Raven glared back at Beast Boy as he threw her book across the room, "I said it would be nice if you could be serious every now and then! And anyways, you not, you're acting even more childish."

"I CAN'T DO ANYTHING RIGHT!"

Beast Boy suddenly ran from the room then, "JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!"

I wish I could express myself better.

Robin stared after Beast Boy. He felt like he was watching his team fall apart.

Raven rolled her eyes now, going over to grab her book, "Such a baby."

Cyborg left the room then, a loud sigh echoing off the hallway walls. Starfire watched him leave, then turned to watch Raven, "Everyone fights every now and then. You two will be better later..."

"I doubt it," Raven mumbled gloomily.

"Raven...please try to get along with him..."

Raven snapped her head back, staring at Starfire, "I do try. Starfire, Beast Boy's attitude isn't something I can fix. You all know he's been the problem lately. Not me..." she paused, walking towards the hallway, but she suddenly stopped, saying over her shoulder, "I know...shocking."

"Raven..." Starfire started, but the words died on her lips as Raven walked off.

Starfire turned to Robin then, like a mom turning to her husband for reassurance, that their children would be okay, that everything would work out. He quickly headed for the hallway then, but he stopped at the doorway, just to give her reassurance, "I'll go talk to Garfield."

He didn't turn to see if she was smiling, or frowning, or even crying. He walked up to Beast Boy's room, and he considered knocking...he didn't want Beast Boy to have a chance to lie to him, though. He opened the door and let himself in.

Beast Boy quickly stood up from the bottom bunk of his bed, whirling around to stare at Robin. In the same minute, Beast Boy reached up, wiping at his face, "Robin-I'm sorry. I'm just tired...Raven always telling me who I'm supposed to be."

Raven always trying to get me to stop acting happy.

"I didn't come here to lecture you on that..." Robin carefully shut the door behind him, then he slowly walked over to the bunk bed, sitting down. He took his time before continuing, "You've been...quiet lately. Less cheerful."

Beast Boy laughed. It was fake, though. He sat back down next to Robin, "That's what Raven wants, isn't it?"

"What Raven wants aside," Robin moved a little to sit at an angle, to face Beast Boy better, "Why have you had such an easy time, becoming the person she wants you to be?"

"I'm not-uh..." Beast Boy ducked his head, chewing on his lip, "I guess she's making me depressed... As dumb as that sounds..."

She making it hard to pretend.

"Oh...I'm sorry."

Robin stared off into space, thinking. After a moment he glanced back at Beast Boy, "Why does it depress you, trying to act serious?"

"I...it makes me feel...it...I don't like being serious."

"It has nothing to do with her, though."

Beast Boy stayed silent, looking away. Robin sighed, "It's easier to pretend that you're happy."

Suddenly Beast Boy fell back on the bed, he sucked in a breath of air, his hands on his face.

Robin looked down at him for a moment, then he laid back, too. He glanced over at Beast Boy...he felt calmer, though. At peace, almost.

Sighing shakily, Beast Boy finally removed his hands from his face some time later, putting them on his chest as he stared at the bottom of the bunk above them.

"It's easier for me to act like my problems don't exist... I want to pretend like I have always been this happy, like nothing can get me down...like I don't hate my life...or like I don't see my darkest memories every time I blink..."

Robin moved to lay on his side, still staring at Beast Boy, "Everyone needs to get emotional sometimes."

Beast Boy glances over at him, a slight bit of humor in his eyes, "Thanks. That helps."

Proping up on his elbow, Robin shook his head, "I'm being serious. You shouldn't keep your feelings bottled up as much as you do."

Rolling his eyes, Beast Boy was suddenly serious again, "It's easier to pretend my feelings don't exist."

I don't know how to show my feelings anymore.

Robin sighed quietly, "Do you want to talk about it? We have money, you know...if you want a doctor..."

"I'm not crazy!"

Robin stared at Beast Boy, neither speaking for a minute or so, "Well...I didn't say that...just, if you wanted to."

Beast Boy crossed his arms then, looking away, "I don't want to talk to someone who'll act like they know me."

"We could talk."

A few seconds passed before Beast Boy looked away, "Whatever. I guess if you want to..."

Please...help me.

"Of course I want to help you. We're friends...plus, it's my job as the leader to make sure you're all okay."

Beast Boy continued to look away, "Thanks..."

Thank you.

They stayed quiet for a little while, then Beast Boy spoke up again, "Just...not right now...I'm busy."

Before Robin could say anything, Beast Boy got up and left his room.

Busy. Sure. Robin knew what he meant though.

Not right now. I'm nervous from the idea of talking about my feelings...my past.

AN: I could continue if anyone wants me to.

Also, what pairings do you want? I could do the canon ones (Robin/Starfire, Raven/Beast Boy, Cyborg/someone), or I could do anything else. Going to have some kind of friendship fluffy moments between a lot of them anyways (Robin & Beast Boy for my sister).

And another thing, the characters might be kind of OOC. Sorry.
