This is my first fanfiction!! I'm so excited! I will likely post every other week, with new update dates on my profile. This is a BBRae story, but no lemons cause ew. Thanks for reading! I'm not sure how long I'm gonna make this series yet- maybe 4 episodes, maybe 50. I'll stop when you want me to stop. Also!! I will shoutout one of my reviewers at the end of all of my stories, but you can only be shouted out once (I'll keep track ;)) I really hope you enjoy the story!!!
"Happy Birthday, dear Raven!! Happy Birthday to you!" The Titans screamed.
"And many more", Cyborg added with jazz hands.
Raven blushed as Starfire used her laser eye beams to create beautiful green flames that may have smelled like strawberries- or maybe that was the cake.
"Blow out your candles, friend Raven!" Starfire giggled. Raven thought about her wish, but then remembered she was a demon and the birthday fairy didn't bother with demon's wishes. Raven sighed, but she knew she had everything she wanted to be happy. Except…
Raven took a deep breath and blew out the candles, but they remained lit. "Star…," she grumbled as Starfire smiled.
"I am sorry friend Raven. Beast Boy told me to make you the candle tricks."
Beast Boy smirked from his end of the table. He sat at the edge, watching the fun play out. "Sorry Rae Rae. I thought you liked tricks."
"I do. But only when I'M the one playing the tricks. Get it?"
"Yeah, sure. Robin, gimme an end piece!"
Robin grabbed a knife but before he could cut the cake, Raven yelled, "Wait!"
Robin froze. "W-what Raven?" He stammered.
"The candles are still lit. And I never got to make my wish."
"Oh. Right. Uh, yeah, go ahead Raven." Robin backed away.
Oh please oh please oh please let Beastie like me back, she pleaded internally. She didn't like to admit it, but ever since the Titans moved into their tower, Raven, then only 14, realized how handsome and funny Beast Boy was, who, at the time, was 15. Raven was the youngest of the Titans, but she acted most mature. She loved the Titans, they just got on her nerves sometimes. Thinking about dating Beast Boy though… Her troubles melted away. If only it was a reality…
Raven blew hard, and this time the candles were extinguished. Everyone clapped and cheered, mostly because of the cake Robin was serving everyone.
"Mmpph- Rae- umphhhhh- dish ish shoo good!" Cyborg exclaimed, with cake still in his mouth. "Robin, twy shum!"
"No thanks. Unlike all of you, I'm going on a diet to help increase my muscle mass."
Starfire snorted into her cake but covered it up with a cough. Robin glanced at her, but she gobbled the food, trying not to gag and laugh at the same time.
"So, Raven. I guess you're the last Titan to turn 18," Robin said.
"I guess so," Raven muttered, picking at her sugary cake. "So what?"
"So, Cyborg's 20, Starfire's 19–" he was cut off by Starfire.
"Actually, Robin, this month is my 56,412 birthday."
Robin sighs. "Earth years, Star."
"Oh."
"Anyway, Star's 19-" Robin glared at Starfire- "Beast Boy's turning 19 in June, I'm 18, and now you are too."
"Again, what's the point you're proving here?," said Raven, slightly annoyed now.
"Well, we've been doing this for just under 4 years now."
"Yeah…"
"And now all of us are adults."
Raven saw where he was going with this.
Robin continued. "So, we can't be called the TEEN Titans anymore, cause, you know, we're not teens."
Raven rolled her eyes. This was HER birthday. She didn't want to talk about the team name. She wanted to have fun and open gifts. Then, she thought of something that would shut Robin up. "Well, Robin, 18 ends with a teen and so does 19. So, we're good."
Robin considered this, then pointed out, "What about Cyborg?"
"Yeah, what about me?" Cyborg chimed in, losing his current game of thumb wrestling to Beast Boy while he was distracted. "Come on!"
Raven grunted loudly, so that everyone could hear, and then muttered, "I'm going to my room." She couldn't believe the nerve of Robin. This was HER day. Everything was supposed to me about HER. Raven collapsed on her bed after teleporting into her room and began to sob. Why did she care so much? They were like this all the time. What did she expect them to do? Pay attention to her?
Raven stopped crying and wiped her tears off on her robe. Starfire's new kitten, Demon, was clawing at Raven's door. She opened the door telepathically, letting the cat in.
She was the one who named the kitten. He rolled out all of the toilet paper and hissed at everything. He was also all black, except for a white circle around his left eye. Starfire loved the name Demon, thinking it was English for Gumpleshrump, which roughly means rascal.
Admittedly, Demon seemed to like Raven more than Starfire, but Star didn't care.
Demon climbed Raven's sheets and plopped himself on her pillow. Raven smiled wearily, knowing at least someone loved her. She took off her hot cape and laid down next to the kitten, who started playing with her hair. Raven laughed, tears drying on her face, but picked up Demon and put him next to her, where he immediately laid down, purring and drifting off to sleep. Raven looked at her clock. It was already 8:30. Raven wasn't really tired, but she didn't want to disturb the cat, so she sighed and closed her eyes.
