AITAH for playing a prank on my friend?

Summary:

After the events of Force of Nature, Beast Boy decides to ask reddit if he was really in the wrong for accidentally pranking Starfire instead of Cyborg.

Notes:

Hello! This is my second fic and a short one this time, I hope you like it!

I'm still figuring out how to use Ao3 to post fics so if I missed a tag or did something wrong, please let me know so I can fix it!

Beta read by my good friend SkyWisp, thank you to her!

In the episode Force of Nature, I don't think the accidental prank Beast Boy played was as big a deal as the episode made it out to be. He was meaning to prank Cyborg, who would have thought it was funny. Yes, he should have apologized right after he realized Starfire was upset about it and yes, he could have been more careful to make sure Cyborg would be the one to set off the prank. But the episodes compared his minor mistake to Thunder and Lightning destroying a bridge for fun and putting people's lives in danger. So, I've decided to make Beast Boy share the story with "reddit".

Enjoy!

AITAH for playing a prank on my friend?

I (13M) live with four other teenagers: S (16F), R (15F), B (15M), and C (17M). C and I are in an ongoing prank war, and I set up a water balloon filled with motor oil around the corner of a hallway where I thought he was going to walk and waited for him to come down the hall so I could launch it at him. I was lying in wait when I heard C from behind me ask, “why are we hiding?”. I turned around in horror to see C hiding with me! Confused, I asked who was walking down the hall if C was right there. Before I could stop it, S had turned the corner and triggered the trap! The balloon hit her square in the face and she was not happy. She yelled at me, calling me a “clorbag barblernelk”, and gave me the cold shoulder for the rest of the day until I finally apologized. I’m pretty sure I’m in the wrong and still feel bad about the prank hitting her but I wanted to come on here and ask your opinions. So, AITAH?

Edit #1: No, the motor oil wouldn’t have harmed C or S. C is a robot and S has alien skin.

Edit #2: Pretend you didn’t see edit one, you’re not supposed to know that much info about us this is supposed to be anonymous…

Edit #3: Yes, C would have thought the prank was hilarious and just continued the prank war. And I didn’t apologize right after S was accidentally hit because I didn’t know what to say, I made a lame joke that didn’t hit at all instead and awkwardly left.

Edit #4: Don’t worry about who’s supervising us, that wasn’t part of the story, guys
