Cyborg laughs when I tell him about my run-in with Beast Boy and his girlfriend. I laugh along with him before taking another sip of tea. I'm sitting on the workbench while Cyborg cackles over a piece of the T-ship.
"A 'great lover' ha! How'd Shannon take to that?"
"She laughed," I reply with a smirk, "Apparently she and I differ on how good BB is in bed."
He laughs until his eye waters, "Maybe ya'll should compare notes."
"Beast Boy didn't find it so funny." I tell him. "After I left, he came after me."
"Did he flail around like he usually does?" Cybog proceeds to model by waving his arms around.
I chuckle, "No. He was very serious."
"So what happened when he tracked you down?" Cyborg starts tinkering with the part again.
"I told him to stop dating her and go back to screwing me."
His hand stills for a moment, "What'd he say to that?"
"Nothing," I look at my tea and then back to him, "I walked away before he could."
Cyborg puts down the part and turns to face me. "I gotta ask, why? Why would you want that?"
I shrug, because I know I shouldn't. "I miss him."
He holds my gaze for a few more seconds, then he nods and returns to his work. I stare into my tea.
"I miss him too, Rae."
When I head back to my room hours later, I find Beast Boy sitting just outside my door. I'm more than a little surprised that he's here.
"Hi."
He looks sad, so I go to sit next to him; we are supposed to be friends.
"Hi." He greets me back with a weak smile.
I pull my knees to my chest, "Any reason you're on the floor?"
"Because I've fallen for you."
I scoff at the joke.
"Shannon and I broke up." He confesses.
"Oh," That's not what I expected, "I'm sorry?"
He shrugs, "I'm not."
"Did you break-up because of something I said?"
He laughs a little, "Actually, it was something I said. I told her about us, everything."
"I bet that went over well." I roll my eyes and he grins at me.
"It did. She told me it was cool that I hadn't told her before."
I don't believe him, "I don't believe you."
Beast Boy laughs again, "Yep, she forgave me without batting an eye."
That sounds like the perfect girlfriend to me. "So…what went wrong?"
"She didn't throw me out of a window, or hit me, or tell me what an idiot I am." His fang pokes out, "So, obviously I had to dump her."
I give him a half-smile, "Ah, well if you dumped her that means no pity-sex."
"Shame 'cuz you know, I'm single now." He moves closer to me.
I don't push him away, "you might have to earn your way back up to sex. The last time I let you have it whenever you wanted, you got a girlfriend."
He winces, "Sorry about that."
I know he means it, so I nod to acknowledge him. He smiles at me.
"You're still an idiot." I stand up.
"I'm aware of that." His smile falters for a second. "I'm gonna work on it."
"Think you can stay single?" I ask as he stands to join me.
He pretends to sigh miserably, "No girlfriend, and no sex with you? What will I do with my time?"
"Cyborg misses his best friend." I reply. We stand close to each other.
"I guess I can go hang out with metal man." He shrugs. "We'll talk more later?"
"That sounds nice."
I lean upwards and kiss him on the forehead. He's earned that much. When he walks away, I smile. I look forward to talking, for once.
