Hmm. It seems that people are into this friendship couple. It was gonna be a one-shot, but… (Shrugs) Godda give the public what it wants:D Just to let you know, its going to keep up with events in the series. (I hope.)


"-nearby, so I should be alright," The hexagonal box chirruped, Ex-Hive student Angel's voice emitting. Kyd Wykkyd nodded in reply, leant against one of the free girders in the construction site. The building was going well, with over a quarter of the bottom finished. "What about you, what're you gonna do?" He tilted his head to the side, closing his eyes briefly as he did so, indicating 'I dunno.' He wobbled his free hand slightly, tilted his head behind him then shrugged.

"You're not sure, you might check around, but you don't know?" Angel asked for confirmation. He nodded. "Well, I godda be going. See ya' round, handsome." She winked at him, her image blowing him a kiss. He looked at her with a raised eyebrow, a smirk on his face. She sighed amusedly, rolling her eyes as she shook her head. "No, seriously, see ya' round." She added, giving him a little wave. He waved back sarcastically, then the image went blank.

He put the communicator away on his belt; put his hands behind his head and sighed slightly, twitching his fingers rhythmically.

After a minute, he frowned, glancing across the street to the town hall clock. Odd. She was not usually late. Perhaps she felt guilty-

"Boo."

He jumped a mile. Figuratively, or else he'd be a smear on the sidewalk. He flung himself back on the girder to stop falling off the edge, banging his head accidentally and grabbing for his heart.

"Don't worry; I have that effect on people." A monotonous voice stated. He looked round at the faint-smiling Raven, giving her the evilest look he could. Which he couldn't, since he'd received 'D' in that part of the 'Intimidation' lesson. The best he could go was 'slightly peeved' as the teacher had put it.

"Call it semi-revenge. On a different note, I guess I should apologise," she said, standing next to him, leaning on the girder and folding her arms. "Y'know, for destroying your school this afternoon?"

He straightened up, folded his arms, leaning against the girder. He looked in the opposite direction to Raven, giving out an 'I don't want to talk to you' vibe. Raven rolled her eyes slightly, tapping her fingers on her arm rhythmically. "Look, I'm sorry we destroyed the place. These things happen, especially with us. You should really blame Cyborg, if you want; his cannon did most of the damage." She leant her head forward slightly to see if he acknowledged her. Impulsively, she also added; "If you're stuck for a place to stay, there's always our place."

He waited a second, apparently thinking, but shook his head no. Raven was secretly glad; One, she didn't know how Robin would take it, and two, there was already enough dark force in the tower. "Ok, you may not forgive the Titans, but hopefully I have your forgiveness…?" She added, lilting up at the end to get the question across.

He stood still a few seconds, Raven strangely anxious about his reply. I've been hanging round Star too long… She thought to herself, gently shaking her head. When he didn't react after half a minute, she sighed, vexed, leaning back on the girder and looking at her feet.

Poke.

She frowned lightly, wondering humorously what had happened to her shoulder. She shifted her stare at him as he looked up at the sky, whistling without making a sound.

"…so, was that your girlfriend?" She asked, remarking to his earlier communiqué. He turned his head, puzzlement on his face. She nodded to his belt, to the communicator. He glanced down, and then rolled his head back, an exasperated/humorous look on his face, putting a hand to his forehead.

"That's a no?" She asked innocently. He then went off into a 'rant' about it:

He pointed at the communicator, then himself. He clasped his hands together, a light 'sckup' sound escaping as he did so. He put first two fingers to his lips and moved them away from his face, then shook his head. He clenched his fists, staring at the city. He put his hands up in front of him, trying to focus. He moved his hand between him and her, then clasped his hands again. He shook his head, tapped his temple with the tips of his fingers, then swept his hand at the city. He pointed somewhere at the skyline, putting his free hand over his mouth, then clasped his hands together beside his face, fluttering his eyelids. His expression turned to disgust, flapping his hand and arm at the city as if swatting a fly, all with an amused smile on his face.

Translation: She and I are friends. I've never wanted to kiss her! It's just so annoying when-! Wait-wait. Take you and me. We're friends. I would never even think of trying to get together with you, but them-! "Oh look, they're hanging out! They must be in love!" Pheh. Forget them.

"I hear you." Said Raven, nodding slightly. "Well, you know what I mean." She added at his look at her. "People do the same to me and the others in the tower."

He raised an eyebrow, surprised at this new titbit of information. "Really. Just have a guess at who I'm mostly put with." She challenged him, smiling slightly. He narrowed his eyes slightly, putting a hand to his chin. He snapped his fingers, then, bending his arms, flapped them up and down. She frowned, completely confused.

"I'm romantically involved with a big chicken?" He shook his head, jerking a thumb at the tower. "Oh, you mean Robin?" She almost laughed, shaking her head. "Sorry. Well, sometimes I'm put with him, but no, that's not the main one."

He frowned deepened. He put his hand level with his shoulders, and then tilted his mask horns down slightly to ear level, crossing his eyes and sticking his tongue out.

"Yep, the green zoo-o-morph." She nodded, slightly humiliated at the idea. She frowned slightly, muttering to herself, "(Zoo-o-morph? Is that a real…? Hmm. It is now.)"

He raised his eyebrows, slightly amused by that. "You think that's bad?" She questioned. "I even get put with Starfire occasionally." He blinked owlishly, as the statement had thrown him.

"I'll leave you to figure that out yourself…" She said, her voice back to monotonous. She levitated up, then turned back; "Same time in two days time?" He nodded, still distracted. She shook her head, then flew off in the direction of the tower. Big Chicken... She smirked to herself.

Kyd Wykkyd sat down next to the girder, a finger to his lips, puzzlement on his face. After half a minute, his eyes widened, slightly shocked, then glanced round, a faint blush on his cheeks.


XD He-he! I had to do that to him; he'd look so- um, well, gullibly cute, when embarrassed. This may be continuing, it depends what people think.
