9. Rumors
Raven and Kyd Wykkyd were sitting across from each other inside his room again. Raven, of course, despised the idea, and just wanted to be atop a skyscraper or near the beach of Titan's Tower or something like that, but Kyd had claimed that he was afraid of heights and he needed to be with Molly. (Both of which were total lies, by the way.)
So there they were, Kyd sitting on his bed with a little pink Barbie brush, combing out Molly's fur with the soft bristles. Raven was surprisingly reading one of his books on a small stool near the door. The rest of his team was out for the time being, so at least they knew they weren't going to be interrupted.
'So...'
Raven looked up from where she had been reading. "Not this again. Next you're going to ask what it feels like to get your pe—"
'What! No! Off topic! Off topic!'
Raven smiled a little at his embarrassed blush before asking, "Okay, what is it then?"
'Um... Please don't kill me... but there've been some rumors about you liking someone...?'
Raven wasn't exactly paying attention, so she simply asked, "And who is this 'someone'?"
'Ewrrr...Beast Boy.'
At that, Raven literally dropped the book, the full force of what he said dropping onto her like a ton of bricks. She coughed and stared up at the HIVE student stupidly. "What?!"
He flinched and covered his face with his cowl. 'No! You said you wouldn't kill me!'
"I never promised anything."
Kyd gulped.
Raven was still frowning, her obvious anger flowing off her in waves. "And who exactly started this rumor?"
'...Jinx.'
Raven quirked an eyebrow, seeming to calm down. "Did you know that Jinx still gets jealous whenever she sees Cyborg with his girlfriend?"
'Ewhat?'
Raven nodded solemly. There was a thump outside the room, and Mammoth's voice could be heard. Raven took it as her cue to leave. "Go on ask Jinx if that's true." and she disappeared.
Kyd sat there with his mouth twisted to the side. 'But you never answered my question!' Even though he knew Raven couldn't hear him.
