Rated M for possible future lemons.
My story occurs after all seasons and the movie. I am estimating on their ages, as it does not ever say how old they are, at least they don't in the cartoon. I am going to make Cyborg 21 and the rest of them 20.
I do not own the Teen Titans. If I did, the show would NEVER have ended!
"Home sweet home," Cyborg said slightly confused upon arriving at the Titan's home. They had stayed in Japan a few extra days for a little R&R and he had expected to come back to a still trashed home, seeing as they had left without having time to repair the damage done by Saico-tek.
"That's nice, no need to clean up on our first night back," Raven said, no trace of emotion seeping into her words.
"Oh, it is so joyous to come back to a repaired home. But, who has done the repairing?" The red headed alien asked as she hooked her arm into Robin's.
"I called in a favor, and I requested a few changes as well," Robin responded. "We have more space in each of our rooms, as well as separate bathrooms. In fact they are more like apartments now." He was interrupted by several cheers from his teammates. "I thought it would be nice since we are getting older and need more space. The place was huge and we had more rooms than needed, so why not. We also have some new systems." Cyborg was happy to hear about that.
They all walked into Ops, Robin trying to hide his grin knowing the surprise that waited inside. Cyborg's human eye enlarged when he saw the new sofa set that was in the main room. He ran forward then acted as if he was afraid to touch it. It was the same color as the old sofa, but this one was super plush and the set included a couch, loveseat and chair.
"DUDE!!! It's a new couch!!!" Beast Boy said dreamily. Cyborg joined him in his drooling. Beast Boy slowly walked around the couch and poked it.
"Will you just sit on it already and quit acting like an idiot," Raven said, then walked behind him and and smacked the back of his head. He turned around and settled into the couch. His eyes fell to half-mast at the comfy-ness of the new furniture, causeing Raven to roll her eyes as sheleft ops, heading straight for her room. Cyborg joined the shifter and they both reached for controllers.
"I am going to take a nap. I am sleepy from the traveling," Starfire said stretching as she headed towards her room. Robin watched her go then headed for the gym to work off some pent up energy and get rid of some kinks.
"Dude! the rooms are awesome!" Beast Boy announced later, walking into Ops after a quick trip to his room.
"Anyone want dinner?" Cyborg asked as the other members wondered back into Ops, and headed for the kitchen. He opened the fridge and scowled as he plucked a large, pink worm from the top shelf. Starfire came over and hugged Silky to her, causing him to burp up a soda can and an empty egg carton. Cyborg turned back to the fridge and shut the door. "Never mind, I'll have to go pick up some pizzas, Silky ate everything in the fridge. I should have figured," he announced. He called in the order as he headed for the garage.
Starfire twisted back and forth, sort of rocking the gurgling creature and then placed him on the floor as Robin headed for the couch. Beast Boy tossed him a game controller and started their favorite racing game. Starfire sat next to the Boy Wonder to cheer him on. Raven had already moved to the bay window and started her routine meditation. Beast Boy quickly glanced over at her and then returned his attention to the game before anyone noticed.
Cyborg returned, and after everyone ate, he brought out a new battle game he had picked up on his way back from getting dinner and challenged Beast Boy, who once again, leaped for the controllers. Raven picked up her latest book and claimed the new chair, curled her legs up under her and lost herself in the text.
In the kitchen, Robin checked the freezer and found that Silkie had not yet had the chance to raid it. Or maybe it was too cold he thought as he fixed two bowls of ice cream, one for himself and the other for Starfire. He slid the redhead's bowl down the bar to her, then took his up and joined her.
"Starfire,"
"Yes Robin?" Starfire answered, looking over at the masked boy when she heard the slight nervousness in his voice.
"I was wondering," He paused and just stared into his ice cream. He took a deep breath to calm himself before starting again, "I was wondering if you would like to go out tomorrow night. I was thinking we cou…" He was cut off mid sentence by an excited squeal and a pair of strong arms wrapping around his neck. "Star, Starfire, your choking me!" He rasped as he tried to breath.
He started to speak again once she had calmed down, but stopped when he noticed that the other boys had stopped their game and were quietly watching. Raven had even stopped reading and was peering over the top of her book with what seemed to be annoyance. Robin turned slightly red and grabbed Starfire's hand and dragged the grinning girl from the room to talk to her more privately.
Once they were gone, Beast Boy turned his back to Cyborg and wrapped his arms around himself and made kissing noises. Both of the boys fell to the floor laughing, but stopped when Raven slammed her book shut.
"You are both so immature. I do not see why you think it is so funny that they have feelings for each other," she said getting up to leave.
"Aw, come on Rae, we're just teasing!" the shape shifter said when she turned to the door. I would definitely be teased he thought as the door closed behind her. He mentally shook his head and turned back to the game.
Robin didn't stop till they reached the rooftop, not wanting to be overheard. It was already dark out and the stars shone brightly over the bay. He led Starfire to the edge of the roof and sat with his legs over the edge. He patted the ledge for her to join him. Once she was seated he turned to face her.
"Star, we haven't really been able to talk since we uh…" He paused as his face turned slightly pink.
"Since we did the 'kissing'?" she asked glancing at him, then looking out at the stars.
"Uh, yea since we kissed, and we haven't been on a real date, and I was wondering if you would like to go out to eat and maybe go do something else afterwards. I thought maybe skating or going to the movies, or maybe just hang out somewhere and talk," he said nervously as he rubbed the back of his neck. He looked up at her and waited for a response.
"I have never done the 'skating' before, could we do that?" she asked. He nodded and she grinned from ear to ear. They both turned back to the view of the bay and sat in silence for a while.
"Star?" Robin asked nervously, breaking the silence.
"Yes?" The alien girl said without turning.
"I, I just wanted to be sure that you wanted this, and make sure you wanted to officially be my girlfriend," he inquired softly.
"Oh, yes I do. I have wanted this for a while. It pleases me greatly to be your girlfriend," she announced to him as she clasped her hands together in front of herself and then swept them outward in an arch until they once again rested on the edge of the building. Robin smiled at her enthusiasm and took her hand in his and gave it a light squeeze. She leaned against him with her head on his shoulder.
A few minutes later Robin took her hand and led her back inside, kissed her at her door and went to the evidence room to finish up some backlogged paperwork.
In Ops, Beast Boy and Cyborg finished up their last game and headed for bed. On his way to his room, Beast Boy's mind began to wonder and was not paying attention. He suddenly ran into something small and soft. He looked down and put out a hand to help Raven off the floor, then leaned over to retrieve the book she had been reading. He looked at the cover before she was able to snatch it from him.
"I didn't know you liked romance novels Rae-Rae," he jibed and wiggled his eyebrows, causing her face to turn slightly pink before she was able to pull her hood back up.
"Don't call me that," she hissed as she glared up at him. Wait, UP at him?
"When did you get taller than me?" she asked, trying to change the subject, causing him to blink a few times before he realized that he was taller.
"I don't know," he shrugged, "I guess it was just hidden because I slouch a little too much," then walked around her to go to his room. "Good night…Rae-Rae."
"Stop calling me that!" she repeated, glaring at his back. As she watched him turn the corner the scowl faded and she felt a strange shiver run down her spine, even though it was not cold in the hall. She shook off the feeling and made her way to the kitchen to fix a cup of tea.
Upon reaching the kitchen she spun around, feeling as if she was being followed, and found herself nose to nose with Beast Boy.
"What are you doing?" She questioned, not able to hide her annoyance at being followed, and took a quick step back to get some space. She looked at him suspiciously as she waited for a response.
"I am just getting a glass of water," he said innocently. "Oh wait, today is Saturday, isn't it?" He asked, suddenly getting very excited. She slowly nodded that it was and he started jumping up and down as Raven rolled her eyes. "Ooh ooh oooh!" he exclaimed running for the remote and flipping on the TV as the cloaked girl put water on the stove. Raven looked up at the TV to see what silly show he was so hyped up about and waited for her teapot to whistle. The movie that he flipped to was just starting and the title caught her interest. It was "An American Haunting".
"I saw a preview for that movie when it came out in theatres, but I never got to see it," she said walking up behind the couch, keeping her eyes on the screen.
"If you want to stay and watch, you can," he said as she turned to finish fixing her tea. She turned her head and looked at him, trying to make up her mind. He quickly turned back to the TV when he realized that he was staring. Please stay he thought.
"Okay," She said simply as she picked up her teacup and headed for the chair. She pulled her legs up underneath her as she turned her attention to the movie. He hid his frown at her choice of seating but reminded himself that she had actually stayed.
"How could a fa…" Beast Boy started at the end of the movie, but stopped when he turned and found Raven asleep in the chair. He smiled, and then the grin melted. What was he going to do? He didn't want to leave her there, especially not curled up like she was. Her back would be hurting in the morning and that would cause her to be even grouchier than normal.
He thought of two options. One, he could wake her up. Two, he could take her to her room. A war waged in his mind. He all too quickly ridded himself of option one, because he knew she would kill him if he woke her up. He thought she might kill him if she woke up while he was carrying her, but decided on this path.
He cringed as he gently lifted her into his arms, hoping she would not wake. Raven softly murmured something in her sleep about a nice smell, which almost made Beast Boy drop the sleeping empath, but he caught himself and fought down a blush. He managed to get her to her room without further incident and gently covered her before racing from the room.
When Raven's door slid shut, Beast Boy leaned against it, and let his mind get caught up in thought. He thought about what her reaction would be if he just admitted his feelings to her. He shook off the thought as soon as the image of being blasted into space by a black smoke appeared in his mind. He sighed as he pushed off of the door and headed for his room.
I just wanted to add that I have never read any of the comics, and that what I use is either made up or comes from the show and movie.
Also, if you liked it, please let me know. If I don't know anyone likes it I may decide to not write anymore, and I will stick to reading. Thanks! I will also take suggestions if you have any!
