Sweat dripped down the green changeling's face as his eyes darted downwards, and then up again at his adversary. It was neck and neck, and so intense Beast Boy could feel the room practically burning. He wiped away the sweat and his eyes narrowed as a threat.
Cyborg squinted right back. The two would probably be twirling guns and snapping them back in their holsters, had this been the Old West. Cyborg screeched his chair back a little bit, nearly starting at the noise it caused in the so far soundless room. Beast Boy looked surprised as well, and then his expression settled into one of anxiety. So, thought Cyborg grimly. It comes down to the final round.
Cautiously, slowly, Beast Boy reached out...
"BOO!" Cyborg yelled.
"AHHHHH!" The shape-shifter fell right on to the floor, screaming for ages after his eyes had registered that Cyborg was laughing. It took his brain a little while longer. "Cy! That's totally unfair! I was in the moment!" Cyborg clutched his side with one hand, wiping a tear out of his human eye with the other.
"I know, man, but it was impossible to resist. Now hurry up."
Gulping, Beast Boy stood up and reached out again, eyes flickering up at Cyborg to make sure no more tricks were coming. The older teen shook his head, and Beast Boy crossed his fingers, which was hard to do with the small, painted rectangle that he held.
"UNO!"
"NO!" Cyborg cried hysterically. Beast Boy pumped his fist, doing a little victory dance around the Ops Center. "But how...?"
"You can't beat me when it comes to talking. I'm just faster than you, Cy!" He paused. "And more fly. Haha, get it? It rhymes!"
"Don't ever say that again, you little grass stain. It's my turn now." And the silent match began anew.
For anyone who's never played UNO, it's a card game where, when you put down your second to last card, you have to yell "UNO" before anyone else or you have to pick up two or three more cards. The purpose is to lose all of your cards by putting them in a pile in the center.
