Raven and Beast Boy
Raven stared out of her kitchen window aimlessly, not really thinking about anything or anyone in particular. The clock on the kitchen wall ticked loudly throughout the small but impressively decorated house. She cradled the hot mug of herbal tea in her hands as she watched the snow fall delicately outside, a small smile appeared on her lips as she sensed her husband creep up behind her and wrap his arms around her waist.
"Do you remember the first snow at Titans Tower?"
Her smiled expanded, but only slightly as she nodded, her collar-bone level purple hair swaying as she did. Garfield tightened his hold on his wife's waist and nuzzled his head in the crook of her neck. His green tousled hair merging with her purple shine.
"Of course, Star was so confused about it. It took nearly two hours for us to explain to her what it was." She sighed quietly, her hands gripping the mug tighter.
"I miss her too Rae, I know she's out there somewhere. I can't believe for a moment she would up and leave without a word to any of us. That's not Starfire. She was the most caring person I ever met."
Raven nodded again, her best friend had disappeared almost 4 years ago without a word to her, to anyone. Sure, she was upset after the Titans disbanded, but she wouldn't just leave like that. They had kept in touch for a year after the split; she seemed to be adjusting to earth even better than she had at the tower. What worried Raven was that she could no longer locate Starfire's soul, her energy. It was if she had…died.
"It's the annual Christmas party soon; we'll get to see everyone again. Things will get better"
She thought it best to lighten the mood, Garfield missed Starfire as much as she did, and it killed her to feel his sadness. Her and Gar had retired from the superhero life after Starfire's disappearance. They had both decided to take a backseat and take a shot at having a normal civilian life. As normal as a half demon and shape-shifter could live anyway. The thought of losing one another in battle was too much to compromise. They were married on Azerath last year, it was the best day of their lives; everyone had come to celebrate the union of the two, everyone except Starfire. She would have loved it.
Garfield nodded with a smile. He looked forward to the Christmas party all year, it was his favourite time, spent with his favourite friends; his family. Although seeing them all still wearing the superhero cape, made him often question why he hung his up. One look at Raven was all he needed to remind himself.
If ever the titans needed help, he and Raven would be there in a heartbeat, but they preferred to stay on the side lines. And the fact that they had been trying for a baby for the past few months put a spanner in the works. He looked over to his wife lovingly and smiled. He never dreamed he would marry the moody, reserved lilac haired teen who he secretly admired for years. He never dreamed she would accept his proposal, he never dreamed that Raven would be this kind-hearted loving woman she was today.
Her thoughts also moved over to the titans, her small family. She wondered how they all were, how they were enjoying their adult lives. She thought of Nightwing, how hurt he was after Starfire's disappearance. Sure, the two were destined for each other. But the 21 year old ward of Batman had other ideas. They were a couple for the last few years at the tower, then after the disbandment Nightwing had insisted they break up, as he had a role to take on in Bludhaven; a role that didn't involve Starfire.
He had broken her heart that night, but she remained her strong Tameranien self and took it on the chin like a true warrior. She had stayed in Jump City along with the rest of the titans; excluding Nightwing, and made a life for herself as model and a protector of her only earthen home.
She thought of Cyborg, her half human, half robot titan brother. He was happy, he and Bumble Bee had fallen in love not long after their constant encounters on missions; but neither of them had given up the superhero role. Cyborg lived and breathed at Titans Tower still, but also had a home with Bee. She wasn't sure the reason of this arrangement, but it somehow worked for them.
Garfield looked over at the kitchen clock, his arms still draped around his wife.
"Four thirty AM? Jeez, we had better get some sleep. Have a long trip to Gotham in a couple of days, and a short amount of baby-making time in between" he smirked, his hands roaming his wife's abdomen.
Raven smiled, finishing the last of her tea and followed her husband into the bedroom.
AN (PLEASE READ) - The first three chapters are relatively short in comparison to the rest of the story, this is because for some unbeknownst reason I decided to shorten one big chapter into three (I have no idea why I did this, kill me!) so for those of you prefer longer chapters it does get there!(eventually!)
