ALAS! I am under a new Fanfiction username now. (If any of you knew a writer once called XxJe_ne_sais_pasxX or FlawedRainbowxX, that was me!) I know, it may make me seem like an unreliable writer if I have changed my name that many times. But I plan to go far with this story. Do me a favor and send me some reviews and ratings. It helps me to continue if I know that someone actually appreciates a piece I'm working on! (:

Anyhow, allow me to go on and say that NO, I do not in any way, shape, or form own the Teen Titans or any of the DC characters/ideas mentioned in this writing. Now then. Enjoy the read (: If all goes well, I plan to add a new chapter once a week.


Purple locks swayed with the wind as it rushed by. The breeze brought forth the smell of ocean water and lily pads. She stood on the edge of the tower's island, watching; listening; sensing. Red leaves fell from all directions into the still water at her feet, creating magnificent ripples. She watched her reflection grow distorted, then slowly return to normal. The dark, violet eyes that met hers cut straight through to her soul. They were analyzing, and yet so very blank. She realized that she was a true master at reading people without them being able to know, or see it in her eyes.

"You beat me this time," a raspy, familiar voice said. "Trouble sleeping?"

Instead of replying, Raven turned to welcome her leader, Robin, of the Teen Titans. Wordlessly, he came and stood beside her. They were each used to the morning routine of observing the sunrise, for each day had one uniquely beautiful from those of all days before. The clouds were a variety of pinks and oranges as the rising sun stretched its warm rays. Birds sang happy tunes at the start of a new day. It was truly music to both Titans alike. They mutually realized that they had much more in common than they had ever thought they could after sharing the same mind.

Robin internally cringed at the memory of when Slade had haunted the darkest corners of his thoughts; it was not a day he would like to reminisce. He had indeed become obsessed with the fact that Slade could very well be alive, and that he needed to be stopped before it was too late. Raven sensed Robin's change in emotion and decided to distract him.

"Let's go down for breakfast. Cyborg will be preparing something." Robin returned from his thoughts and rubbed the back of his neck with a gloved hand. With a quick nod from the boy wonder, the two of them walked off for the tower.

"Friends! It brings me great joy to see the faces of those that I love so dearly! I wish the good mornings upon you!" Starfire hovered above the ground with her feet tucked and crossed neatly beneath her. It always brought happiness to her very being to see her fellow Titans ship-shape in the morning. Robin approached and wrapped his arms around the waist of the thin Tameranian. How he loved her, and boy, how she loved him.

Cyborg stood in front of the stove turning eggs and flipping pancakes with his favorite spatula. A pot of tea was already heating up on an eye, a pan of tofu eggs and soymilk beside it. Beast Boy was seated at the table that was closest to a window. His ears perked and turned when his teammates entered the room.

"Morning Robin. Raven," he said, emerald eyes searching the amethysts that were Raven's.

"Good morning Cyborg, Beast Boy." Robin said as he spun Starfire about and around. "Good morning, beautiful," he murmured as she giggled at the beloved touch of her boyfriend.

Raven removed the tea from the heat and poured full two mugs. She then took a seat across from Beast Boy and handed him one. Immediately he took a sip of the hot liquid and happily sighed. How he had learned to love the acquired taste of herbal tea in the morning. It was a habit Raven had gotten him into. Occasionally she would try his tofu dishes, but only when no one was around to witness this act of politeness. Raven preferred to be close to Beast Boy in solitude, if that even made sense. She wasn't sure why, however. Perhaps it was to avoid unnecessary confrontation with any of the other Titans, who would all surely tease her.

"Did you sleep well?" Raven asked the green man before her. She asked, but she already knew the answer. She sensed he had been awake almost all night. Mistrust and anger had overcome her, strong and fluent in the air. It was not her own emotions, of course, but those of Garfield. Perhaps he had thought of Terra, and drifted into sleep with her on his mind. Possibly, he'd awoken in a cold sweat to the image of her sacrificing herself for all of Jump City with her unspeakably formidable powers; a sight that surely would never leave his haunted mind. And still, she wanted to know what he would reply with.

"Ah, it wasn't much different than most of my other rests. What about you?" Before responding, Raven pondered his choice of words. He must have thought himself clever in the art of word play. She knew him all too well, and he was well aware of this fact.

"I slept fine, thank you," she murmured before sipping at her tea.

In truth, Raven slept about as well as Beast Boy had, for she had fallen to his agony in the wee hours of the night. She waited for him to fall back asleep to a dreamless remainder of the night before gaining any more rest.

"This is excellent. Cy's tea is practically better than your own, Rae." Beast Boy teased the empath, and she knew he was only joking. The slightest movement of her cheeks confirmed a hidden smile to Garfield, and he offered his signature lopsided grin in return.

And it went on; comfortable small talk between the two Titans as the others conversed and laughed about Control Freak's last pitiful attempt to take over Jump City. Oh, how Raven and Beast Boy had finally come to understand one another; Raven was dark, yes. And no, she was not the gaudiest being in the emotional department. But Beast Boy had accepted that she needed to be this way, at least most of the time, else her emotions come crashing upon everything around her. She cared far too much for the people that encircled her—whether or not she knew them personally—and so it was her emotions that she decided to sacrifice, thus bringing out the true selflessness within her.

As for Garfield, Raven understood the jester's act he had displayed for all to see; hiding the shame that was his backstory; concealing the sadness that was within him. He was truly not as much of a youngling as he once had been. He still shared his jokes of course, (and he loved every minute of it) but over the years, his maturity had begun to take over. Especially physically.

He had surpassed the Boy Wonder in height; now being the second tallest Titan. At 6 ft. 3", all of the Titans but Cyborg now had to look up at Beast Boy rather than look down. His voice had deepened, and his muscles had grown. His jawline was squarer and clean-shaven. And his eyes...well his eyes were what intrigued Raven the most. They were deeper than they had ever been before; ever-growing forests filled with endless depth and secrets. Needless to say, Beast Boy was…hot. And all of his fan girls noticed. Fan mail was much greater for him, coming in not only from Jump City, but also from the girls he had met in Tokyo when fighting against Saico-Tek. Ironically enough, however, only one girl was on his mind in this moment. Of course, Raven was pretty much certain that girl was Terra.

Terra. Raven thought her name every single day. What she could not figure out was why. Why did Terra have such a strong affect on every person that she met? Even Slade had been obsessive over the blue-eyed blonde. She disliked Terra for betraying her and her friends, but she learned to forgive her, if only for Beast Boy. He cared for her so much…perhaps…she was his first love?

"You know I can tell now when you are thinking elsewhere while you speak with me?" Beast Boy's voice brought her back, and blood rushed to her cheeks. Thin fingers reached for her hood and pulled it atop her head to conceal her features.

"I'm sorry, Gar. I just get lost in my thoughts sometimes."

"Don't worry about it. Are you alright?"

"Of course." Raven paused to take another sip of tea. It was pleasure to her lips.

Beast Boy watched her with curious eyes. He wondered to himself what she had been thinking about. She was so cute when she thought to herself… It was one of the only times her placid face was lit; the other times were the few occasions in which she would display her beautiful half smile. How the green man had come to adore this, the slightest of all grins. The corners of her lips would tilt upwards ever so slightly. Her lips were so red against her pale skin. They matched her fading blush perfectly and brought out the stunning lilac orbs that were currently hidden beneath the shadow of her hood. Garfield found himself quite unable to ignore her beauty… In fact, he sometimes dreamt heavily of her. It was either nightmares surrounding the Beast within him finally breaking free of its mental confinement, or Raven and her magnificence. He surely preferred the latter.

Her hair fell just to her chin, her jawline was exquisite, and he was almost certain that her curves would fit into his calloused hands, as would a key fit only to one lock. Her fingers looked so delicate, and her legs were simply stunning. Mind-boggling. How much Garfield would love to take her to his bedroom, undress her, and see her body completely exposed right before him. He would tease his eyes with her splendor before removing his own clothes and taking her for his own, ploughing into her figure until she screamed his name in ecstasy…

Beast Boy felt himself growing hard beneath the breakfast table. He needed to stop these thoughts before he overwhelmed Raven with his outrageous lust. He awkwardly cleared his throat, finished the last of his tea, and excused himself from the table. He was careful to make sure his erection was concealed and unrecognizable before leaving for his bedroom.

How uncomfortable.

Raven ran her delicate fingers along the spine of her favorite book and opened the pages to where she last left off. This was her eighth or ninth time reading the novel; she couldn't remember. It was getting late, but she knew that she would not be able to sleep until Beast Boy finally found rest. She could feel his emotions all the way from in his bedroom and she knew that he would surely be having yet another nightmare. Pain and agony overwhelmed her senses in the wee hours of the night lately, and though she would like to go and comfort Gar, she knew he needed Terra, not her. And she could never be that for him.

Ah, but perhaps she was being selfish. He needed her, and she knew that. When he dreamt tonight, she would be there to support him.

Garfield sat in his favorite chair and removed his shirt. He sighed lightly to himself. The digital clock on his desk read 12:15. This habit of his that he had developed was rather…shameful, in his opinion. But he needed release and hey, there were only so many ways a man could get that.

He ran a hand along his bare chest once before removing his pants and underwear. Already hard and throbbing, Beast Boy took his member into his hand and began to stroke it. He quickly succumbed to the pleasure, which made its way all through his body. He groaned softly, and closed his eyes. In his mind, he saw a certain seductive demoness wrapping her hands around his cock, teasing him, and meeting his hungry lips with her own. Oh, what she did to him in his fantasies…and God, what he did to her.

He groaned again. He was getting closer. He imagined Raven taking him into her mouth. Her lips were so soft around his member. The image of her head bobbing up and down...

Oh, fuck... He growled, inside and out, and came. He sat still for a moment, to catch his breath before cleaning himself off. He hoped that Raven hadn't sensed his yearning from all the way in the solitude of his bedroom.

He sighed again, and still nude, he collapsed onto his mattress. He clapped his hands twice to turn off the lights—a new feature that Cyborg had added to all of the rooms in the tower—and rolled on his side. He avoided the sheets because he hated awakening to a sweat in the middle of the night. He closed his eyes.

You're pathetic, you know.

Garfield's eyelids snapped open and he growled. "Shut your damned mouth, you animal."

You're calling me the animal? The way you imagine dominating the demon is not unlike a wild beast taking its prey. You realize that if you want her, she is yours. She does not have a choice. Just walk into the room and take her. She cannot hope to fight off the Beast!

"You're a fool! I will never harm Raven! I would never take her unless she wanted—"

In what universe would prey that exquisite ever want you? Let me out of here and I'll show you how it's done!

"I WILL NEVER LET YOU FREE, DO YOU HEAR ME?!" Beast Boy's voice quickly rose to a shout, and was followed by silence. He had again contained the Beast, if only for now.

How he hated that son of a bitch. Especially for even contemplating harming Raven in any way. He was going to keep the Beast contained. He was going to, or he was going to die trying. Raven was too important to him for her to ever get hurt in the battle between himself and the monster within. He would protect her till his dying breath…

Garfield shut his eyes once more, and though it took some time, he eventually drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
