Spandex
Chapter Two: On Spandex Strike
By lilacpurple
A/N: Oooh this is so exciting!
Note: This chapter, like all others, is Beast Boy's POV.
Ah, the luxury of jeans that he had just discovered. For it was an amazing fabric - non-ripping. And it didn't create the rash (ew, rash) that he got from spandex. Of course, the rest of the group had noticed.
Raven said it first, as she was the most brutally honest. "Beast Boy, why are you wearing jeans?" She wrinkled her nose in distaste over her breakfast of tofu. She loved it so much she was clearly trying to savor the taste by eating more slowly and messing with it on her plate.
"Well, I thought it was time for a change. You know, how we always wear spandex?" Beast Boy suggested tentatively.
"No. Not ALL the time. . ." The group said together.
"Well. . .I'm allowed to dress how I want and I want NO SPANDEX!"
There was a brief moment of awkward silence where they stared at him in awe. Even Cyborg stopped eating his tofu.
Finally Robin spoke, chosing his words carefully. "Beast Boy. . .you can't kick bad guy ass wearing jeans. It's just not cool."
"Yeah, but spandex gives you rashes." Beast Boy replied sagely.
"It does not give me rashes." Starfire said.
"Yes, well, you don't wear that much do you?" He said in a disgruntled fashion.The rest of the group snorted their tofu in laughter then composed themselves.
"That was a. . .a rotten thing to say Beast Boy!" Cyborg said after recovering.
"What does he mean, Robin?" Starfire asked, tilting her head quizically.
Robin coughed and stirred his tofu around. "Well. . .nothing, Starfire. Don't worry about it." He sent Beast Boy an evil glare. Actually, Beast Boy wasn't entirely sure whether it was evil or not, due to the mask, but the dramatic slant of Robin's eyebrows was surely intended to send some form of message.
Beast Boy sighed and took the plates in after comtemplating the fact that it would not be as easy as he thought wearing jeans.
