Names
Hello~ I wanted to try something different this time. I hope it's alright.
He stared at her from across the kitchen table.
"Rae."
"Garfield."
"Rae Rae."
"Garfield."
"Raveyyy~"
"Garfield."
"Ravey Rae Rae Rave~"
"…Garfield."
He threw his hands up in frustration.
"Oh come one! That totally tops Garfield!"
"Nothing will ever top Garfield." She didn't even have to look up from her book to say that, the nerve of that girl. Anyone who ever said Beast Boy was annoying had obviously never tried to have extended conversation with Raven.
"Robin's real name is Dick."
"That's a close second."
"Nuh uh! Dick is a dick, Garfield is a cat! Cats are cool."
"Whatever you say, Garfield."
He fumed for a moment before an idea popped in his head and smiled.
"Cutie."
She didn't look up, but she didn't need to- the furrowing of her brows and the sudden tenseness in her shoulders was all he needed. His grin grew wider.
"It seems we have reached an impasse." He moved his hand up from the table to stroke an imaginary beard on his face.
"Wow, I didn't think they had above third-grade level vocabulary in those comic books you read."
"Don't change the subject, sweetie."
She sighed, and finally looked up from her book. "What do you want?"
"Stop calling me Garfield."
"No."
"Then I get to call you whatever I want."
"…I'll call you Gar, and I'll admit that Dick is a worse name than Garfield."
"You have to tell that to Robin."
"Fine."
"And in front of Star and Cy too!"
"Fine."
"And I still get to call you cutie."
"Don't push it, Gar."
"Rae Rae?"
She blushed. "Only when we're alone."
"Sweeeeeeet."
"I hate you so much."
He took her and smiled. "Too bad you can't resist me, Rae Rae."
