It was a battle of staring daggers at each other, and in the middle of it, Cyborg stood in total confusion. "W-wha-what's going on!" He finally sputtered. Robin turned his head to him.
"That's what I'd like to know." He replied icily. Cyborg raised his eyebrows and gestured toward Terra. "Never mind my affairs." He said quickly.
"Affair is right." Beast Boy muttered. Robin pretended he didn't hear this comment.
"I want to know why there is a hole in that wall." He continued. StarFire had suddenly taken a great interest in cleaning her fingernails. Beast Boy ignored this, even if he was pissed off at everyone, he wasn't going to rat Starfire out... especially since he'd provoked her. "Well?" Robin asked impatiently. Terra had let go of him, she was holding something. My drawing... Beast Boy thought, casting a sideways glance at her. Robin caught the glance, and saw that Terra was investigating the picture carefully. "No..." He choked and snatched the paper away from her. Terra narrowed her eyes at him, looking longingly at the paper. Beast Boy threw an even more furious look at Robin and sniffed.
"What are you guys doing?" Came an annoyed voice from nowhere. Everyone in the room jumped. They looked around, trying to find the owner of the voice. "Up here... argh, idiots." The voice jeered. Beast Boy looked up.
"Raven..." He sighed. Half of Raven's body was hanging from the ceiling, looking at all of them.
"Oh, look, now everyone's here. Wonderful." Cyborg said. "Now, can we talk about this?" Raven dropped out of the ceiling, landing on the floor lightly. She slipped off her hood as she stood next to Beast Boy.
"Robin..." Terra whined. "I want the picture back..."
"No."
"Give it to her!" Beast Boy leapt toward him. "I drew it for her!" StarFire pulled Beast Boy back. She seemed to have finally returned to her normal state.
"Beast Boy..." She whispered.
"What!"
"... Leave it..."
"No!"
"Leave it." She said heavily.
"... Fine." Beast Boy stepped back in place, next to StarFire and Raven.
"That's a good boy." Robin said. Beast Boy gaped at him. This wasn't the Robin he knew at all.
"What is your problem!" Raven spat before Beast Boy could even open his mouth. "Why are you being such an asshole, Robin?" He merely gazed back at her.
"I'm with Rae." Cyborg finally spoke again.
"Look, bad day, ok?" Robin finally let out, holding up his hands in defense. "Bad day, sorry..."
"And does that explain why you were... er... with Terra?" Cyborg asked, he didn't look convinced.
"Yeah, still sounds dodgy to me." Beast Boy commented. "Especially with all I've seen today..." Robin looked wearily at all of them.
"She's been helping me relax, right Terra?" Robin looked at her. She looked back.
"Uh..." Was all she managed to breathe.
"See?" Robin said hastily before she could object in any way. She shrugged and nodded. "See?" He repeated, a little more confident. StarFire cocked her head to the side.
"O..kay..." She said slowly, putting on a fake smile.
"Yeah, whatever." Beast Boy sniffed. Cyborg shook his head.
"You guys are absolutely insane lately. I'm outta here." He walked out, muttering to himself.
"Hnnnmmm... er, yeah..." Raven made a weird face. "Absolutely crazy..." She floated back up and went through the ceiling. Beast Boy looked back around the room. It was just him, StarFire, Terra, and Robin again.
"Oh no..." He said under his breath. "Let's go, Star."
"Hmm?"
"Let's go somewhere else." Beast Boy said, directing her into a hall, leaving Robin and Terra behind.
"What is it?"
"I want to talk to you." Beast Bou explained. "Let's take a walk around the tower, ok?"
"Alright..." She agreed and yawned. "I am getting tired, though, so.. Promise we won't take long?"
"Promise." He assured her.
"Okay... what do you want to talk about?" She said curiously as they walked slowly down the corridor.
"Well, I suspect that Robin's always liked you, right?" StarFire looked at her feet, thinking, as Beast Boy pointed this out.
"I guess..."
"Well.. I was thinking... maybe we can... you know, make him jealous."
"I guess..." She repeated.
"And, I mean, if he really doesn't like you, then he won't get jealous. So, then if he does get jealous, we'll know that he likes you. And that would mean... that... he's..."
"Acting."
"Right. But I don't know what he'd be playing at..."
"Neither do I... do... do you think he really likes Terra?" StarFire asked, disappointment flooding her voice.
"I dunno, Star, I really don't. This is why we have to do this..." Beast Boy replied, sounding as miserable as StarFire.
"Then, it's agreed?"
"Yes. From now on... we are... a 'couple'."
