¿There really isn't... a reason?

¿15?

"Who's hungry?!" Cyborg yelled as we all sat down at the table.

He had gone breakfast crazy again.

Eggs, bacon, and lots of milk and orange juice.

I looked over at Beastboy and he seemed not enthusiastic like he always is.

Cyborg laid his plate in front of Beastboy. His tofu eggs and almond milk.

Beastboy smiled at him, and Cyborg patted his back.

I'm guessing Cyborg knew a little more than I did.

Eventually Cyborg had all our plates ready, and we began to eat.

"So," Robin started, " How do we plan to celebrate Father's Day?"

"Yes! Today is the day of the fathers!" Starfire said joyfully.

Wow. It is June.

It's Father's Day, I completely forgot.

I mean, I don't think anyone at the table has a father but me.

And, well, I don't like to consider him my father, but I have to.

I took a sip of milk, and Beastboy was eating silently.

"Shall we go to the mall of shopping?" Starfire asked.

"That sounds great." Cyborg took a bite of eggs.

"Good thinking Star. Is everyone going?" Robin asked.

"I'm not. I have a few books I want to read." I made an excuse.

"Oh... well that's cool. B?" Everyone turned to Beastboy, but he was in his own world. Staring off into space.

"B!" Cyborg said a little louder. Beastboy slightly jumped, looking at us.

"Sorry I... what?" He said in confusion.

"We are journeying to the mall of shopping! Do you wish to join us?" Starfire asked with the permanent smile on her face.

"Nah dude. My leg has been bothering me today." He lied. Nobody else could tell, but I could.

———————————————

They left about 30 minutes ago.

Beastboy hasn't left his room, and I could sense the waves of sadness coming from his room.

I debated whether or not to talk to him or not.

I was about to just leave him alone for the rest of the day, but, I remembered.

I remembered all the times o was inside my room, alone, and all I wanted was to not feel empty.

So, I went with my gut and went to his door.

I knocked kind of quietly.

I heard his crutches getting closer and closer to the door. The door opened with a swishing noise.

"Oh uh... hey." He said awkwardly.

"Hey, I was wondering if you wanted some company." I said.

"Sure." He smiled, letting me in.

When I got in he closed the door behind us.

His TV wasn't on, or his music.

He went and sat on his bed, and took in a long sigh.

I sat beside him.

"Is it Father's Day?" I asked him, wondering if that's the thing that's bothering him.
