The movie was mediocre at best, but Beast Boy had enjoyed it completely. They'd completely forgotten about what was going on in the tower when they walked in, still talking about the movie.
"And they were all like, pew pew pew!" Beast Boy exclaimed, mimicking the sounds of laser guns. He would have made more sound effects if the tower's silence hadn't cut him off. He hadn't not heard the tower since…Well, forever. Even though Raven woke up early and stayed up late, she hadn't either.
"Oh, man," he whispered to her, "this is freaky."
"Yeah…" Beast Boy started walking back to his room and was very, very surprised to see that Raven was following close behind him. He was pretty sure it was just because she figured if she was found alone Starfire would kill her, but he let himself hope it might be for other reasons. He shut the door behind them; he sat on the bed, but she shoved some random items off a chair and sat on that.
Beast Boy thought about what could have gone down. She could have blown up the tower—nope, it was still intact—killed Robin and Cyborg—no, there was no blood here—or, at worst, broken up with Robin once and for all. That was the only thing that could've happened.
Not that he really blamed her. Robin had kept a huge secret from her for such a long time, how could she not hate him? But then again, in his defense, how could he ever tel her soemtnhing like that?
Noneo f this would have happened, though, if he would have just told her off the bat. Beast Boy took a deep breath in, trying to build his confidence (it didn't work), and looked at Raven.
"Raven, do you love me? Like—not like, romantically or whatever but, like, as a friend?" Raven looked at him, baffled. What a weird question, even from Beast Boy.
"I…guess so?"
"So, then, if I did something as horrible as what Robin did, you'd forgive me if I told you right away, right?"
"Beast Boy, what did you—''
"Right?"
"…Right."
"Okay," Beast Boy said. He sighed. "Okay. Do you promise…Not to get mad at me when I tell you this? Because at least I'm being honest with you."
"…Okay," said Raven, knowing that she really couldn't keep that promise.
"Promise?"
"Yes."
"Say that you promise."
"I…Promise."
"Like you mean it!"
"Beast Boy, I promise I won't get mad at you."
"Okay, good. Remember that night when I told you I loved you, the night…He left?"
"Why are you bring—''
"Well, see, I have something to tell you." Raven's eyes widened in terror. He didn't—he couldn't have—he wouldn't do that to her—
"That…Wasn't really me that night." Strangely, Raven felt a twang of sadness. So, he didn't really mean it when he said he loved her? Wait, why did that matter? She should be happy.
"What…What do you mean?"
"I mean, it was Jericho. He possessed me."
