"Raven, do you wish to talk. You seem as though you are upset." An orange skinned hand delicately touched Raven's shoulder. A warm feeling made it's way through Raven's body at the very touch. She turned to the very person who spoke those words so sweetly. Standing behind the couch, looked down at her with worried eyes. Those emerald orbs and that pinkish auburn hair. The girl she could finally call hers after so long.
"Starfire.. it's you. I think I'm just going to be out for a bit. I know you don't want to be in the house alone since Robin's off training again and Cyborg and Beastboy are at a game convention, but I have something.. to go pick up." Raven's monotone voice. Shestood revealing herself wearing a pair of black jeans and black long sleeve shirt with her usual shoes.
"Perhaps, I can go with you." Starfire looked at Raven with an excited smile on her face.
"If you'll stay here, when I come back we can watch a movie together." Raven didn't want Starfire coming along with her on this. She already hated she was lying to her girlfriend about what she was going out for. She soon saw the disappointment cross her lover's face but soon faded as she again smiled.
" And we will eat popcorn?" She walked out from around the couch and close to Raven. Holding both the dark sorceress's hands in her own in excitement.
"Well it isn't a movie night without popcorn so ye-" Raven was cut off by Starfire's lips being pressed against her own. Her eyes widen in shock, even after a a month she still wasn't used to the realization. As Starfire pulled back she examined Raven's red cheeks.
"I am sorry Raven. Did you not want me to do such an act?" Starfire bit her bottom lip. Raven smiled softly at the alien girl and shook her head.
"I don't mind, it's just hard getting used to the fact it's all real. Alright I'll beback soon wait up for me Star." Raven gently tugged her hands away from Starfire's and began walking towards the door.
"Of course! But wait!" Starfire ran over to Raven and held out a purple umbrella.
"Thanks, see you soon." Raven walked out the door, releasing her umbrella. She began walking along the sidewalk, the patter of th rain on the cement and her umbrella.
"Where would she be.." Raven began walking through the streets of the city. After twenty five minutes or so still no sign of what she was looking for. She was about to give up when she saw a figure fly past in the sky.
Raven flew up to get a look of where the figure went when a black bolt flew past her. She looke at the direction it was coming but was too late when she was struck down by another black bolt. She groaned in pain as she tried to pull herself up. Suddenly she was drug off into an alley.
"So I was right, you are following me. Tsk tsk if you wanted to see me you should have said so." Came a sarcastic female voice that chilled raven to the bone. Suddenly her body was flung ito the side of a building in the alley way and than to the one parallel. Her body fell to the hard wet ground. The rain still pouring but no umbrella to take shelter under. She stumbled to her feet and smirked at the raven haired tameranian standing before her.
"Figured you were obviously up to no good if you were back. The other Titans aren't here so you're wasting your time, Blackfire." Raven stared into the eyes of the woman before her. Violet eyes like her own.
"Now Raven, you should know my fights don't involve you or the others, just my sister. I don't gather anything out of hurting you and you know that." Blackfire's smirk faded.
"I'm not letting you destroy my girlfriend." Raven launched her body forward and threw a fist which Blackfire counterattacked and held her to the wall by her throat using her foot. A laugh escaped Blackfires lips. The rain pouring down on both the girl's faces.
"The fact you choose her over me in itself is ridiculous when you know you and I have more in common than you and her ever will." Blackfire narrowed her violet eyes in on her target.
"But Blackfire..haven't you ever heard the term opposites attract?" Raven smiled. Blackfire's look grew more fierce as she pulled her foot away and released the female hero.
"I will not lose you to her, Raven. She stole you, so I'm stealing you back." Blackfire smiled deviously down at the girl breathing heavily and knelt down close to her face. Putting a finger under her chin and pulling Raven's face close so that their eyes met.
"Don't worry, Raven. You'll see me soon."
"And who said I wanted to..?" Raven growled.
"It's clear in your eyes. You can't hide me from her for long."
"The only reason I've been following you is to see that you don't come near her and I get you to leave." Raven hissed.
"Than tell me, how do you react to this?" Black fire gently pressed her lips to Raven's. She pulled back and smiled at Raven.
"You don't even have to speak for that one. Your lips told me everything" And just like that she was gone. Raven got back to her feet and beganwalking back to the Tower. As she entered the door she was embraced by Starfire.
"Welcome home, Raven! Why are you wet? Did you lose your umbrella?" Starfire asked as she pulled back to look at the girl.
"Yeah.. well I had left it outside by the door of the tea shop and must have forgotten it.." Raven shivered. Starfire lead the sorceress into her bedroom and began searching for clothes. She pulled out a pair of black sweats and a white t-shirt.
"Here you are." Starfire held the clothes out to Raven with a smile which Raven took.
"Thanks, Star.." She looked down at the clothes and back to Starfire for a minute.
"So.. are you going to leave for me to get dressed..?" Raven asked in confusion. Starfire tilted her head and looked at the grey skinned girl in confusion.
"No, I'll partake in helping you undress! It will be a wonderful way of bonding don't you think?" A huge grin crossed Starfire's face but Raven's cheeks turned a bright and defined shade of red. Her mouth fell slightly open in shock.
"Uh you know, I think I can do it my-"
"Nonsense! Lift your arms."Starfire walked up to Raven and held the edges of her long sleeve shirt she began pulling it up but Raven tried to resist.
"I really think I can do this myself, Star.." But Starfire persisted. The two played tug of war over it until Raven lost her footing. Starfire had been leaning against Raven and the two crashed to the floor.
"Well that could have went better." Raven groaned and looked up blushing as Starfire was laying on top of her.
"Raven, are you okay? You're cheeks are changing colors." Starfire asked rather innocently.
"I – uh.. Starfire, next time I'm undressing myself." Raven said turning her head away to avoid the orange aliens stare.
"That is probably a good idea. It's much harder to undress you when you're wet." Starfire replied. Raven's eyes grew wide and her cheeks became hot.
"Star, don't ever say it like that again…"
