Cyborg's POV
I heave a sigh and wipe my sweat away. My 'baby' stands in the garage, her entire body gleaming. I pat the bonnet. She's a part of my life, seeing as I built her myself. I took a spin in her this morning enjoying the breeze whipping my face. She takes the curves beautifully and her acceleration is as smooth and sharp as a knife through butter. After cruising through Jump City, I soaped her down and gave her a good polish till I could see my reflection on her doors.
As I make my way back up to the T-Tower, I think of some minor problems we, the Teen Titans are facing now. Everyone seems to be acting a little weird nowadays. Robin always locks himself inside his room, Star seems to be blushing around Robin, Raven and Beast Boy are sniping at each other more often, and Terra is hardly seen now. Even though she's not really a part of the Teen Titans, she's been accepted as a member but now she hardly hangs out with us anymore, particularly if Beast Boy's around.
I make my way to my bedroom and flop down on my bed. Why is life so difficult? I think.
Beast Boy's POVAnother dreary day, I think as I channel surf aimlessly. I curse silently. Seems like there's nothing good on the telly nowadays. I turn the TV off, and wander of to my room. As I pass Robin, I catch some inaudible words he seems to be muttering under his breath. I catch the name 'Starfire'. I shrug and slope off.
I bounce on my bed, and then judder to a halt. I haven't been myself lately; there seem to be lots of pressing issues on my mind. Even bouncing doesn't help. Looks like the perfect time to try and sort them out. But then again, I'm afraid to admit the problem to myself. It seems too complicated and embarrassing to think about it.
I mentally poke myself. 'You have to face up to your problems, Beast Boy', I remember Raven saying that to me. Raven. She's one of the problems I'm facing right now. That girl is an enigma. Hidden under that cloak is a girl I wish I knew better. Eventhough I've known her for over a year, the things I know about her wouldn't even fill one page. And the fact that I have a secret crush on her is a fact I'd never even admit to myself. The way her dark eyes look at me, the way she's always so cool no matter what the situation is, the way she smells like fresh garden herbs…It's too much for me to handle. Wishing I could hold her tight and be the one to lead her out of her solitude is a wish I knew could never be fulfilled.
I'm so confused. It's no easy matter, girls, I think. Especially when you have a crush on your other best friend. What is the matter with me? Am I going mad? Why do I like Terra as well as Raven? Terra is more like my sister, but she's gorgeous, with her long blonde hair and big blue eyes the colour of the ocean. A guy just can't help falling for her! I probe my feelings anxiously. Who do I like best? I just can't make up my mind! Both are my best friends, both are equally pretty, and both are part of the Teen Titans! I can't look at either of them without doing something goofy. The only way to hide my feelings is to pretend I'm not interested in them. Guess that's why Rae and me are having more violent arguments than usual, and why I seem to be ignoring Terra. But in my dreams at night, they're the beautiful princesses and I'm their Prince Charming.
Wait a minute, whom am I kidding? Even if I like them there's no guarantee that they like me back. That's the sad part, I guess. There's not even a shadow of a hint that they like me too, either of them. Looks like I'll be facing another couple of sleepless nights thinking about my dilemma. I don't know what's worse: The fact that I'm in love with my two best friends or the fact that they don't like me back. I just guess that only time will yield the answers I'm looking for.
