Beast Boy moved restlessly in his chair. "How long is Robin going to take? He swore that he'd come tonight. Don't tell me that he's fallen asleep again…"

"BB, you've been only waiting for five minutes, tops. What's the matter with you today? You seemed kinda irritated and impatient. S'there something on your mind?"

"No, nothing's on my mind. So cut out the questioning." Beast Boy was sweating a bit, and his face was slightly red. "I'm completely normal, can't ya see? Just a bit…" The changeling started twiddling his thumbs and rocked himself on his chair, as if he couldn't even stand to motionless for a single second.

Cyborg shrugged, and looked up at the clock. "Two o'clock. I think that Boy wonde—"

The common room doors slid open, and Robin slipped in. Sitting next to his friends, he smiled. "I got Star to go out with me tomorrow!"

Beast Boy smirked. "Congrats, Boy Blunder. But bet that date can't beat my first."

"Speaking of love and dates… why did your sparring match turn into a make out session with Raven?" Cyborg glanced over at the green titan, who was blushing furiously.

"Uh… she started it?" The changeling half asked, hoping his friends would drop the subject.

"Jeez, BB, we saw the whole thing. She pinned you down, you officially lost, but then you threw her off you and 'pounced'." The cybernetic teen eyed the changeling questioningly. "You'd never do that. And you've been restless all day. What's wrong with you, BB?"

"Yeah, mating season?" Robin laughed.

Awkward silence.

"You can't be serious…" Cyborg gasped.

"Dudes, it's not that! Anything but that!" The changeling shouted frantically.

"Man Beast Boy, I didn't know that you actually had a mating season! I thought that only animals could have that! Oh wait, you are an animal!" Robin was snickering uncontrollably.

"Yeah… so that's why you act hyperactive most of the time! To mask this particular time of the year! And once you act mature…" Cyborg grinned mockingly. "All is revealed."

"Yeah, I wonder how Raven'll feel when she hears this…" Robin suddenly looked extremely evil. "Oh, I'll just love to give her this juicy piece of info to her."

"She'll probably squeal and jump for joy. Her boyfriend is a 'sexy green beast' after all." Cyborg sniggered and added, "Man, I've never thought that our lil' grass stain was so damn ferocious!"

Beast Boy, meanwhile, was sinking lower and lower into his chair, occasionally adding a weak, "It isn't true…" or "Let me explain…" He finally groaned and started slamming his head repeatedly on the table.

Cyborg noticed this sudden movement and managed to put on a straight face. "It's alright, BB. You are part animal, after all. C'mon, you have to say it out loud. Let out all those years of frustration. We promise that we won't talk about this again if you say it out loud." Robin looked at Cyborg, confused. The half machine wrote a small 'trust me' on Robin's leg with his metallic finger.

Beast Boy looked at Cyborg suspiciously. "Not a word to anyone in the future?"

Cyborg beamed. "Yep. Even Robin." He pointed a shiny finger at the changeling. "C'mon BB. Y'have to say it out loud. Release it. Prove that you're a man."

Beast Boy still looked suspicious. "Really? You won't mock me about this anymore?"

"Yep. We won't mock you anymore."

"Okay then…" The changeling took a deep breath. In a wavering voice, he gasped out, "I-I have a mating season. I've been through this ever since I've hit puberty. I have no idea why. Happy now, Cyborg?" Beast Boy then saw the blinking red light on Cyborg's finger. "You wouldn't…"

"Oh yes I would." Smiling insanely, the large titan pushed a button on himself. A small screen popped out of Cyborg's arm and placed itself in front of the green, trembling teen. "We don't need words to mock you. This video would do just fine."

"Aww, BB, you weren't smiling. Should we do it again?" Robin was chuckling madly at this point. The master of pranks, jokes and blackmail was still staring aghast at the screen, sweating.

"You evil, twisted, sadistic… you… actually recorded…"

"Yep!" Replied Cyborg proudly.

"Guys! Please… I thought we were friends…"

"We are friends. And friends share, y'know? It just happens that several of my friends are in the Titans East…" Cyborg ran to his room, laughing hysterically. Beast Boy didn't even have the strength to go chase after him. Sagging his shoulders in defeat, he turned to Robin.

"Robin. Today I explained to Starfire what sex was. She was delighted and immediately said it was exactly the same as Tamaran's 'ritual of Krifgargle' or something like that. Thought you should know, cuz' I've opened the door a bit wider for you. Better be grateful." Sighing, the disgraced changeling slowly trudged back to the common room doors.

"Wait."

Beast Boy turned around slowly. "Hmm?"

"You open that door a bit wider and I'll get that video back for you." Robin promised solemnly.

"Deal."


Ran out of good ideas. Had to throw in something like this. Poor BB…
