Soooooo sorry for not updating sooner! I blame my homework-giving teachers! I'll try to update weekly from now on!
Robin's POV
"Hey, guys!" I called out to Beastboy, and Star- hey, where was she? I looked around, puzzled. Cyborg wasn't here either. Though by now I was used to that. "Where are the others?" I asked anyway.
"At the football game," he said, not bothering to look up from his video game.
"Both of them?" asked Raven, sounding slightly annoyed, and I could see where she was coming from. Cyborg always disapearing was enough, but Starfire too?
"Star's a cheerleader now," he clarified sulkily. "Her new friends are too, it figures." I rolled my eyes, annoyed. Cyborg and Starfire were supposed to be heroes! Not football players and cheerleaders!
"And what's next, they're double dating with each others friends?" muttered Raven.
"Well actually-" Beastboy joked.
"Don't wana hear it." I said, cutting him off. He smirked, and threw me one of the wireless game controlers.
"Wanna play?" I shrugged, and agreed. But then I remembered Raven, and saw she was quietly trying to sneak out of the room.
"Wait! Raven!" she spun around, confused.
"Yes?"
"Um..." now that I had her attention, I didn't really know what to say. Suddenly, I had an idea. I held up a third controler. "Wanna play?" She sighed, and rolled her eyes.
I was sure she would come up with some form of snarky remark, when, "Fine. One game. That's it." I swear, Beastboy litterally fell off the couch.
Beastboy's POV
"WHAT?" I shrieked, as I fell (totally gracefully) off of the couch. "YOU are gonna play video games? For real?"
"Do I have anything better to do?"
"Uh..." She sat down on the couch, and I noticed she made sure to sit right between me and Robin. It's like she was trying to stay neutral or something. Wait... I felt a smile creeping onto my face, realising her reason: she totally liked Robin! If it was me and Cyborg, she woulda said no to begin with. And even if she'd said yes, (by some insane miracle) or agreed to watch, she would've sat on one of the far ends of the couch. On Cyborg's side, to stay away from me. But now that Robin was here, she magically said yes and sat in neutral territory.
"Strange..." I mumbled.
"What is? Your behavior?" asked Raven, eyebrow raised.
"Nothin..." I responded. Dude, if I was right about her liking him, and him liking her, then this would be a very, very fun day... well, for me at least. I decided to mess with Robin first, considering it was easier to mess with him than Raven, plus I needed to break his concentration: he was totaly whipping my butt at the game we were playing.
"So Robin, it must stink, you know?"
"No, I don't. What are you talking about?"
"You know, not getting a welcome home from your girlfriend." I watched his face carefully, as he went from way confused to more confused to mucho annoyed.
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
"You know, Starfire..." I egged on.
"She's not my girlfriend." he said with a straight face. I shrugged, and continued playing the game. Robin was totally killing me. And actually, so was Raven... wait, what?
"Dude!" I screamed, as Raven crossed the finish line. In first place. What the heck just happened?
Raven's POV
I smirked at Beastboy's reaction to being beaten by Raven. He looked like he was going to pass out. "DUDE!" I rolled her eyes, and glared at him.
"What?"
"But-but? You just? HOW?" he shouted.
"Maybe we had video games on Azarath," I said with a straight face. Or maybe I had Robin giving me some directions through our mental bond... okay, a lot of directions. And some cheat codes. Robin and I watched as Beastboy walked out of the room, mumbling something about being back in a second. "Don't hurry back." I mumbled. I then turned to Robin.
"Thanks for helping me."
"No problem," he responded with a shrug.
"One question though..."
"Which would be?"
"Where in the name of Azar did you learn to play video games? I mean, you only play games with Cyborg and Beastboy every once in a blue moon, and you always beat them, yet you never play..." He smirked in response.
"Let's just say I had a lot of free time back in Gotham..."
Robin's POV
"I find it hard to believe that you'd be playing videogames with Batman of all people." I thought her assumption was insanely funny.
"Batman? Videogames? The only way they could be in the same sentence, would be if the sentence was 'Batman took away Robin's videogames."
"Really?" she asked, confused. "Don't tell me you used to be like Beastboy..."
"No! No! Of course not!" I defended immediately. But then, now that I had thought of it... "Okay, almost not like Beastboy. I blame Batgirl though!"
"Batgirl?"
"Yea. If she hadn't given me that one game in the first place, I wouldn't have gotten hooked."
"So she got you hooked on videogames through a present?"
"Basically. But it helped," I defended. "I mean, one time I was playing a game, and it turned out the guy that my avatar kept loosing to was the same guy that was working with the Joker, who got stuck in said game."
"Uh huh..." She looked insanely confused, and I didn't blame her. Suddenly, Beastboy burst back into the room.
"Best two out of three!" I shared a look with Raven, who just smiled somewhat evily.
"Bring it on!" So there we sat for the next hour, playing video games of all things. It was totally illogical, thinking that of all people it would be us three playing together, but at the same time, it was kind of nice. Of course, nice moments like these were meant to be ruined. When it got to the point where Raven actually laughed at one of Beastboy's jokes...
Raven's POV
"Hey kiddies! Can I play?" We all immediately spun around, dropping the controlers.
"X! What do you want?" I heard Robin call out. But I wasn't really paying attention. The last thing I remember is noticing how similar Red X and Robin really were.
"Raven!" And that's when everything went black...
*SOOOOOOOOOOOO WADA YA THINK? LET ME KNOW PLEASE!
