Instantly, Raven pulled a dramatic performance out of his back pocket. He wasn't great, but he was pretty good. "Don't say things like that!" voice filled with fake anguish. "You can't let them get you down. All we need is each other!" ... Maybe he had picked up a few tips from James.

Laurel smirked before putting on an anguish look as well, "It just... wasn't meant to be... the stars were out of line, fate has different plans. We can't fight it." she stated with a clenched fist, "But no matter where we go I will always love you!" she stated in a rather cheesy voice before bursting out in a fit of laughter as she couldn't keep it together anymore.

As Laurel burst out into laughter, Raven threw his arms around her broke out into fake sobs.

Raven's sobbing only made Laurel giggle harder, so much so that she started tearing up. She tried to speak but couldn't get anything through her laughter.

After awhile Raven stopped and started laughing too.

Laurel turned in his arms, grinning at him as she kissed his cheek, "Crust..." she murmured as she giggled, "I'll always need my fake boyfriend... and since he's you're gay, my real boyfriend can't mind." she decided as she gently, lightly hugged Raven back.

Raven laughed a little harder for a moment before getting a hold of himself and wiping a tear out of his eye. "... Wait, what?" he asked, tone more serious now as he realized what she had meant to imply.

Laurel continued to grin at Raven, "I love Nic." she declared, still hugging Raven, "And he loves me back. But I don't think it would be two-timing to still love you." and after a moment she buried her face in his chest, "So I'm sleeping here." her muffled voice added.

Raven slowly shook his head and patted Laurel's head.

"I've..." Laurel sighed, still hiding her face, "been really stupid, huh? With my heart..."

Raven chose to remain silent as he put the blanket over her.

Laurel let the silence fall over then for a little while. "You're... feeling better?" she inquired softly.

Raven nodded. "You should get to sleep," he told her. "You've had a long day."

So Laurel tightened her grasp on Raven, still being careful not to hurt him. She nodded slowly as she found his heartbeat and started to drift off.

Raven stayed up for awhile longer, reading again after Laurel had fallen asleep. But eventually he fell asleep too.

They were awoken a bit early in the morning by a loud beep from the foot of the bed and a screen popped up. Laurel jumped a little, blinking her eyes as she lifted her head and stared blankly at the screen.
