The Talk
Chapter 1
It was dark and hot in the tower, it was summer time, and the tower wasn't the best place to be since the air conditioners weren't working. Cyborg was suppose to fix it since about two weeks ago but he keeps coming up with lame excuses about how the hell he was suppose to fix his baby. At least that's what Raven thought, her room was…….. Ok let's put it this way she couldn't stand her room, she couldn't stand the tower itself. Every time she tried sleeping it's like she gets stuck on her bed like glue. She just hated it, she tries sleeping but after a minute or so her body starts to sweat, this is why she hated summer so much.
She opened one of her eye slowly as if it pained her to do so, than she opened the other one the same way. She looked around her room at every object and item, she then closed her eyes and let out a big sigh. Than opened them quicker than she did last time. She slowly put one of her foot out of the bed; all she wanted to do was take another shower even though she took one about an hour ago. She took a deep breath and finally decided to go get something to drink. She still had her uniform on, no wonder she was feeling so hot. She took her leotard off, and then put on the robe and slippers that she brought not to long ago. Her robe wasn't thick or anything and it wasn't long either, it stopped a little above her knees which hugged her body nicely and it also didn't have long sleeves. Raven had finally let her hair grow longer which of course was a little shorter than Starfire's hair. She braided up her hair so it didn't bother her. She finally got out of her room and headed to the kitchen. When she got there she headed towards the refrigerator and opened it, she looked everywhere and finally she spied some orange, she took it out and poured some into a glass and put the rest back into the refrigerator. It was to hot for her herbal tea so she had to choose orange juice instead. She took a sip of her orange juice then decided to head to the roof for some fresh air. When she got to the roof she felt as if someone had boiled water and spilled it all over her that's how hot it was. She wanted to go back inside but decided to stay a little longer, until she was done with her orange juice at least. She walked to edge of the roof where she got a better view of the ocean and the city. She sat down and looked around; suddenly she heard the roof door open. A person started walking towards her, the closer the person got the familiar he/she seems to get. When the person got close enough for her to see they face she let a sigh.
"What are you doing here", she asked with a little smile.
"I was gonna ask you the same thing", the person answered with a bigger smile than hers. The person figure was now very clear to her; the green skin was enough to tell her it was Beast boy. But she was surprised to see him wearing only shorts and a wife beater which showed his mainly shape. Beast boy had finally become Beast man even though he still acted like a child with bad jokes. But his body had transform into this well built guy and of course now he wasn't shorter than he used to be he was as tall as Robin maybe about an inch or two shorter than him other than that Beast boy had become a very charming ladies man.
She didn't answer him.
"Ah…….Rae come on, your not happy to see me", he asked in a childish way.
"The name is Raven and no I don't care to see you, what are you doing here anyways", she answered him not taking an eye off the ocean.
"I'm hot can't you tell", he frowned a little.
"No you ain't", she smirked finally looking up at him.
"Ah Rae-ven, why you have to be so mean", he pouted and let his pointy ears drop.
"How cute", she said in a sarcastic way.
"I know I seem to hear that a lot lately", he grimed at her as if she had said the most fantastic thing ever heard. She couldn't help but let out a laugh by his comment.
"Do not flatter yourself Beast boy".
"Ah…..Whatever what you doing here anyways", he asked, acting as if her last comment didn't mean anything.
"I'm hot, can't you see or are you blind", she said returning her gaze back to the sea.
"Oh don't worry I know your hot", he bit his lip and smirked. She looked at him and blushed deep red; she hated it when he back fired with smart comments like that. Especially lately his been flirting with her a lot.
"Oh please just shut up", she said.
"Can't you just take a little compliment", he wanted to see her blush redder, and he thought it was cute.
"Whatever, so how is Terra", she asked changing the subject completely.
Terra had finally regained her memory and came back to say she was sorry to everyone; the team accepted her apology and decided to take her back as a friend and a titan. It didn't take long before her relationship with Beast boy got really serious, which was about four years ago or so.
"What does this have to do with Terra", his face got serious for some reason.
"Nothing I just asked how she was, there's nothing to get mad about", she said very softly.
"I not mad, it's just that …….. It's just that well ……." she stopped looked at her than sighed.
"It's just that what", she asked her voice still soft.
"Well you see Terra wants us to take our relationship to the next level", he said walking closer to her and then sat next to her.
"Well what's the problem", she looked at him and her heart beating quicker than usual.
"Nothing well ok, it's just that she wants us to move out".
"MOVE OUT, what do you mean move out", she kind of yelled.
"Well um …….. She um …….. She wants us to move out of the tower, you know she thinks it'll help our relationship", he chuckled nervously.
"What the hell does the tower has to do with your relationship", she was really trying to calm herself down, but she couldn't stand the thought of him leaving the tower.
"Nothing, nothing at all, it's just that ", he was interrupted.
"Garfield, you keep on saying the same god damn thing, it's just that, it's just that what uh ….. Garfield", she looked at him, they made eye contact for a second or so, but then she turned away angrier than ever.
"I'm sorry", he said still looking at her, his voice was soft and sad.
"Don't be", she said getting up, she was about to leave but Beast boy caught her arm.
"What's wrong raven", his voice was so soft it sounded like a whisper.
"Nothing, can you let go of me" her voice started to crack.
"No, not unless you tell me what's wrong" he moved her a little closer to him.
"So, you wanna leave the tower, quick been a titan, fine, but don't expect to be happy for you or anything", she felt her eyes watering.
"Hey, hey shh …… Who said I was gonna quick" he asked a little surprised.
"Well you are leaving aren't you?"
"Yeah, but doesn't mean I'm not gonna still be part of the team, Terra just wants us to take our relationship to the next level like I said", his voice became softer with every word. Raven just nodded her head, she knew if he left things would never be the same again.
"Come on" he said with a grim. "Are you ok".
"Yeah, I'm fine", she lied; all she wanted to do was cry she hated feeling this way. He put her chin up so he could look at her, she tried looking away but finally his eyes caught hers and he gave her a smile. Since he was still holding her harm, he moved her very close to him and said.
"Beside if you need me. I'll always be there for you, you know that don't you", she nodded again, and then he gave her a hug and a kiss on her cheek which made her blush. She pulled away still blushing and said very slowly and softly.
"I better get going".
"Yeah, ok, I'll see you later I guess", he smiled at her. She walked out of the roof and headed to her room. When she entered her room she took off her robe and put on a nightgown. She then led on her bed and thought about what Beast boy had said, maybe it wasn't so bad him and Terra moving out, but she still didn't like the idea of the team separating. The more she thought the slower she briefed to sleep, finally she stopped thinking and briefed to sleep.
