I do not Own Teen Titans. As much as I wish I did, i don't... On with the show!
=====(0'0)=====
"Hello Robin. We meet again." Came the dark controlled voice of Slade. He stood in front of said hero with his hands crossed behind his back, surely smiling under the half colored mask he adorned. "It seems youve been busy lately. With saving the world single-handedly you must be exhauseted."
"I didn't do it alone Slade." Robin spat. They stood, facing each other in the middle of yet another abandoned warehouse, chains dangling from the ceiling, tredmill lines dust covered, and gears almost invisable under the layers and layers of cobwebs. No other Titan or living creature around. "I couldnt have done it without my friends."
"Yes yes I know thats how you speak when the cameras are rolling, but you see Robin. Were alone. You can't tell me honestly that you didnt think for even a minute you'd have been better off on your own. The great apprentice you are. You must be dying for some more spotlight. Maybe... change your insigmia a little?"
"What are y-"
"Quiet Robin!" Slade yelled slapping the teen down with one arm and then picking him up by the collar with his other. "We both know how this is gonna end! Quit fighting it! Just wake up and have some stupid epiphany or whatever it is you leader types do!" By now, slades normally low and some-what restrained voice was loud and filled with hate. Changing almost into a different person's.
"What are you talking about!?"
"Your not even Robin you idiot! Wake up and stop drooling all over my freakin' arm! Yo! BB! I said wake up! Darnit B, if you dont get your lazy butt up right now I'll-"
Cyborg's voice got louder and louder, the dream fading and light filling a young heroes eyes.
"Ugh, what's goin' on? Whaz 'appening?" Beast Boy groaned, standing up and rubbing his soar eyes, hoping to get the sleep out of them.
"You did the 'passing out' while playing a game with friend Cyborg. Are you not well? Shall I prepare a pudding of sickness?"
And of course, at hearing this, the green teen's once lowered ears sprang up and a fake smile was immediatly plastered on his face, though a nervous sweat did make its way down his brow. "Uhh. not thanks Star! I'm feeling better already. How about I fix us all up some grub? Vegetarian of course."
As he made his way past his friends, he thought about how strange his dream had been. 'It didnt even make any sense. I know I'm not the smartest guy around but comeon! And why was I Robin!?' He stood at the refrigerator grabbing some tofu eggs and soy-cheese. With his arms full of the morning 'fixens' he closed the door with his tail as he walked awa- "Tail!?" Beast Boy dropped all of his gathered ingrediants instantly and spun to look at his rear-end eyes wide in horror. 'Huh? W-wasnt there a tail just a second ago?' He shook his hind quarters experimentally for a second. "Tail? Uh... are you there?"
"Beast Boy are you okay?" Asked his fearless leader, who had apparently been seated at the bar/table during his fiasco.
"Uhh... yeah Im fine... you didnt happen to see a tail come out of me did you?" Robin sweat dropped and picked up a newspaper trying to avoid the awkward silence.
"No... get some rest." Turning a page he continued on saying, "Remember we've got training in a few hours on the roof."
"Let me clean this up and get some breakfast first. So uh... any of you guys seen Raven? She's usually the first on up isn't she?"
"How would you know? Your always the LAST one up." Cyborg called with a grin, making his way over to the kitchen as well. "Or have you been stalkin' your little rae rae?" Cyborg asked making 'kissy face' gestures and snickering, much to the dismay of his green friend.
"Duuude! Shut up!"
"Please, does friend Beast Boy have 'the feelings' for friend Raven?" Starfire asked hopefully, her hands cupped together and hearts in her eyes. "Oh this is glorious! You too may now begin the 'dating' and-"
EER EER EER EER!
"Oh look! Trouble! He he!" Beast Boy laughed nervously, eager to get some attention off of himself for once.
"Whats the situation Robin?" Raven asked, coming from her spirit raven.
"Cinderblock again. Don't be too overconfident. Titans move!"
( '')======== ((((('^' )
Cyborg drove while arguing with Robin about who had the most fan girls, which left the other three titans in the back. Starfire watched with slight amusement as Beast Boy tried desperatly to get a small laugh out of his dark teamate.
"Comeon Raven. You KNOW I'm funny. You even told me so yourself."
"Are you refering to when we met, before I knew that it was just a lucky joke. Or the time Happy said so? Happy, the emotion who thinks EVERYONE is funny?" The empath retorted.
"Uhh... both?"
"Have you ever though that-"
"Focusing on the mission at hand is more important than your flirting?" Robin offered, a small grin on his face despite the tone he was using. This got a blush from both of his teamates, though Raven's was hidden due to her hood.
"Well kids we're here. Make sure you play nice with the big bad monster okay." Cyborg mock-lectured. "Cinderblock is just as afraid of you as you are of him." He stepped out of the car and whistled to himself as he walked towards the villian.
"He's in a really good mood today." Robin commented. The other Titans nodded and followed after their up-beat mechanical friend.
Cinderblock stood in front of a crumbled down prison wall, back turned to the young heroes as he lau- ... (well he was happy and making noises that didnt sound like anything perverted so just assume it was laughing.) Villians poured out of the gaping hole to their freedom and paled as they saw the Titans. The giant rock monster-man-thing turned and grunted it's displeasure.
"Havent we been through this already, Cinderblock?" Robin began with a smirk.
"No oneliner?" Raven asked with a raised brow.
"Well... I mean... uh..." Robin sweat dropped but shook it off quickly. "Titans! GO!" With that they all ran towards the huge evil-doer, Cyborg who was leading by far, flung himself right at his boulder-brained opponent and smacked him down with a sonic charged stomache punch. One that surprisingly seemed to end the fight.
"BOO YA! One hit from Cy and the evil villain cries! Alright! Hahahaha!" Cyborg laughed, trying his hardest, but failing miserably, at hiding the immense pride he was feeling. "Well let's get home. Weve got a training session today. And Ive got some upgrades to show-case." He grinned one final, face swallowing grin as he walked towards his baby.
"Am I the only one who's a little scared to see these new upgrades in action?" Beast boy asked no one inparticualr. He received four nodding heads as his answer. "Comeon dudes! Ya'll should be nicer to me! It is my birthday tomarrow!" Beast Boy whined throwing his arms down in defeat. Raven rolled her eyes in response.
"How could we forget? It's all you've talked about for the last month." She sighed in exhasperation but could feel her heart beat quicken a bit. 'AZAR! HOW DID I FORGET HIS BIRTHDAY! It's only a few weeks after mine!'
Happy giggled in her mind. 'You were too busy thinking about OTHER BB things'
'What is THAT supposed to mean?' Raven growled back.
'You should've been thinking about Beast Boy's birthday instead of just Beast Boy in his birthday suit!' Rude commented, causing a chorus of laughter inside the empath's mind. She blushed madly and tried to counter when Timid spoke.
'H-hes not ALWAYS n-nak-ked in our thoughts...'
'...lying doesnt suit you' Brave grinned. 'Stop blushing and just grab a handful of somethin!' Raven nearly fainted at that.
'ENOUGH!' Anger yelled.
'Thank you Anger.' Raven inwardly sighed.
'I was talking to you, oh queen of denial.'
'Raven... you know what'll happen if you DON'T accept me right?' Affection asked. 'You lo-' Suddenly she was snapped back to reality by the green goof ball of the group.
"Rae, you okay?" Beast boy asked, putting a hand on her shoulder. Her eyes whidened in shock and the front left tire of the T-car immediatly exploded. The team all screamed as they almost in slow motion, flipped once, twice, THREE times and quickly crashed back to Earth, landing at the edge of the water that surrounded their humble aboad.
The Titans all struggled out of their seats and managed to get out of their crushed vehicle with a few grunts. They began to survey each other for injuries.
"Status report." Robin said looking himself over.
"MY BEAUTIFUL T-CAR! WHYY! WHY! MOMMA WHHY!"
"..." Robin scratched the back of his head and looked to his alien girlfriend. "You okay Star?"
"Yes, I bel-"
"MY BABY! WHY!"
"I shou-"
"NOOO! WHY HER! WHY NOW!"
DING! The overdramatic cyborg fell to the ground after a fuming Starfire smacked him in the back of the head.
"Friend! I am so sorry! I did not mean to do the 'overeacting' but you would not allow me to speak and I am very sorry and I ask that you will be forgiving me now please!" Starfire pleaded as she knealt next to her companion. Cyborg groaned as he steadied himself and shook the concusion from his thoughts.
"It's fine Star. No harm done." He grinned to show her that he was sinscere and she smiled before nearly killing him with her signature death hug. "St-Star! R-release Release!" He screamed desperatly as he flailed his one free arm dramatically. Robin laughed a bit then turned to his other teamates, who had been uncomfortably quiet during this charade.
"What about you two?" Robin noticed Raven was looking down in shame and Beast boy was looking at her like he'd just lost his puppy. "Guys?"
"Rae? I-Im sorry. I didnt mean to sc-... to startle you." Beast boy apologized, this time opting to keep his hands to himself. She looked at him with sad eyes before making her face stern again.
"I need to meditate." And with that she levitated back to the tower.
"What did you do?" Robin asked the green teen.
"I don't know... but she's not getting away with just hiding in her room this time. Im gonna find out what's wrong." Beast Boy turned into a raven and flew after his friend. 'What did I do this time! I just wanted to make sure she was okay! THAT'S ALL I EVER DO! DAMNIT! WHY DO I SCREW UP SO MUCH!'
"Why did that happen?" Raven asked herself as she sat on the floor in her room.
'You know why.' Affection spat angrilly. 'If you don't accept me NOW, Im taking over. Timid is a LOT easier to best than I. You WILL tell Beast Boy.'
'How dare you.' Raven snarled. 'I'm in charge. You'r only a small peice of me.'
'The STRONGEST peice of you. Stronger even than Anger when she was 'Rage'.'
KnockKnock
"Raven? Open the door. We need to talk." Beast Boy said nervously, and Raven could feel a familiar emotion push it's way past all of his others. Her eyes whidened and she blushed at the realization before her.
'Yay! He's worried about us! And he LIKES us!' Affection yelled happily in the dark girl's mind, seeming to be over her previous spell of anger..
"I'm really pissed Raven." Beast boy's voice spoke again.
'...' Affection bit her lip to keep from tearing up. 'See what you did Raven?'
"What do you want Beast Boy?"
"I want to know why you left like that. I'm tired of how you try to fix everything by hiding in your room alone. Why won't you let us help you? It's all I want Rae."
'He's so sweet.' Affection cooed.
'He... he really is.' Raven thought back. "Beast boy..." She stood and opened the door to see him standing with his arms crossed. At seeing her face he dropped the act and sighed.
"What's wrong Rae? Why'd the tire blow up?"
"...Victor was driving a little too carelessly I guess."
"Cy? Driving his precious baby wrecklessly?"
"No. Carelessly."
"Sounds phoney."
"It is."
"Then what's up?" He asked taking a step closer and putting a hand on her cheek. "You can tell me." She tilted her head down, trying to avoid eye contact. "Rae. You can tell me anything."
"Oh like you tell us?" Raven retorted knocking his hand away. "The team and I know less about you than when we met you."
"Have you ever asked?"
"... I did'nt want to bother you. It's your business."
"I'ts your's too, if you want it to be." He said touching her cheek again. "Rae I care about you. If you want me to spill my entire life, heart, and soul onto the floor for you right here I will. Especially if it'll prove that you can trust me."
"I trust you. Everyday on the battlefield I trust my life to the team. As do you."
"Then why can't you trust me now?"
"Because it's embarassing Garfield." She confided before biting her lip in thought. "...I'll tell you tomarrow..." With that she turned and closed the door to her room behind her. 'Affection... let's talk.'

Beast Boy woke up early the next morning with a grin that threatened to take over his entire face. "Ehem..." The changeling cleared his throat and laughed a bit to himself before, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEAST BOY!" He yelled at the top of his lungs, making sure to wake up all of the Titans, had they not been up for the last few hours. He giggled and walked out of his room... clad only in a pair of purple boxers.
He walked out though his door, down the hallway, through the door leading to the common room. "It's okay Team, I'm here now." He said confidently. Cyborg, Robin, Starfire and Raven all looked up at him to greet him but were dumbfounded at the sight before them. A blush rose in the two female Titans' cheeks and the males began cracking up. "What's so funny?" The green teen asked. "And why'r your faces red?" He continued, refering to the girls. This caused Robin to snap out of his giggling fit and look at his girlfriend. The Tamaranian blushed more and began apologizing to the boy wonder. Cyborg began laughing even louder and tears leaked from his human eye. He held his sides and began to cough violently, still grinning madly.
"Um, Beast boy." Raven began, looking away from him to hide her blush. "Nice... attire."
"Huh?"
"Put some pants on." Raven said with a smirk. 'or tell the others to go away.' She thought, eyes whidening and blushing crimson.
"?Some p-" He began looking down to see he was indeed, not wearing pants. He gave a girly high pitched scream and ran back to his room as fast as his bare legs could take him.
The fearless leader watched him go shaking his head. 'poor guy.' Then he looked back to see the scarlet faced goth teen next to his girlfriend.
"Soooooooooo... your awfully red Raven." Robin said with a smirk.
"... I need to meditate."
"Answer to everything." Cyborg laughed and the dark empath nodded as she made her way to her room.
'Affection, how should we begin?' Raven thought to the powerful emoticlone in her head. Her response did not come in Affection's trademark soft loving voice.
'Get to his room before he puts on some clothes! Hurry we may still be able to get another glimpse at his abs!' Raven blushed and took only a second to form her reply.
'Snap out of it Affection! We want to maked him happy, not rape him it's his birthday.'
'Can't we do both! And besides, it'll be MUCH easier to tell just how happy he is if there are no pants on that boy! So go! Go! Go! Go! Move it soldier!'
The red faced teen girl battling her emotion subconsciously began to pick up her pace, getting to Beast Boy's door in a full sprint.
'Weeeeerreee heeeeeeeeeere!' Affection called with a giggle.
"Wh-what? How'd we? What'd you?... Whatever." Raven turned to her green love interest's door and knocked softly. The door opened only moments later and Beast Boy emerged with a grin on his face and his full uniform on his body.
"What's up Rae? Wanted to be the first to say 'Happy Birthday'?" He joked.
"No." She replied flatly but before he could deflate she added. "But Happy birthday anyway. I actually wanted to... uh..."
'Give you your present early!' Affection offered.
"Give you your present."
"Wohoo!" Beast Boy began bouncing up and down in anticipation until he noticed somehting. "Uhh... Rae... I can see both of your hands and ... no present." His ears dropped a bit and he whined. "Awwwwwwwww, you just playin with my widdl-"He was cut off by having Raven's lips pressed to his own. His eyes whidened tremendously and he blushed before closing his emerald orb and kissing her back. It was a soft and short kiss, but it told a thousand stories and he grinned from ear to ear. "R-rae? -ven I mean Raven... does... uh... this mean...?"
"I think you know what it means Garfield." She said with a blush and small smile. She put a hand on the green teen's chest and gave him another quick kiss.
"So you like me?" He asked nervously.
"No. I just go around kissing people I don't like. What do you think?"
"I think I like my birthday present Rae." The young shpeshifter said softly, cuping her cheek and trapping her lips in a passionate kiss.
