Title: A Secret Worth Keeping
Chapter: 1. Divide And Conquer
Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans, even though sometimes I wish I did. xD This is fanmade and purely for my readers and I's entertainment. :3
Summary: What if Raven and Beast Boy were secretly dating throughout the whole series? Will this secret bring them closer, or tear them apart? Will it be worth it? And why are they keeping it a secret? Follows the whole series, sometimes really closely, other times partially. Rated for language, violence, and some implied but non-graphic intentions.
Notes: This is my first posting of a story, and since I'm going in order of the episodes, this one doesn't have too much BBxRae in it, since the episode itself barely shows them. The episodes that are more centered around BB or Rae, will have much more, but ones, such as this one, will be relatively short. So, anyway, enjoy and be kind when reviewing.(:
Raven was staring intensely on the controls in front of her. The buttons flashed and beeped, signaling that the titan's tower was functioning properly. This was normally Cyborg's job, but while the tower was working properly, the team wasn't. Raven recalled the name calling and Cyborg tossing his communicator down as he shouted those two words that was still ringing in every titan's mind.
"I quit!" he had shouted with such venom in his voice. Robin and Cyborg butted heads a lot. Robin was the kind of guy who knew he was good and used it to his ability, having good confidence and allowing himself to push himself to his limits, and even past them, while Cyborg had a more modest approach. He had set limits, and he never really pushed past them, unless he got a new upgrade in which he would leisurely push himself to new limits. Robin was strict and dominant, while Cyborg was kind and easygoing. It was only natural that they would fight.
Raven was still upset that Cyborg would even consider leaving them, but she kept it inside, knowing the dangers that lurked when she showed her emotions. She listened into Beast Boy's conversation as he left, yet another, message on Cyborg's cell.
"…I know you're there. Your phone is built into your arm!" he shouted angrily into the phone. Beast Boy glared at the phone and hung up again.
"Beast Boy! Taste!" Starfire smiled and shoved a spoonful of what looked like slop into his mouth.
Raven softly smirked and went back to checking the tower's systems, now adding another window in search of Cyborg. She tracked down the tracker in his robotic parts first and after a couple minutes, realized he must have turned it off or removed the device. Irritated, she closed out of the program and opened the security scanner, looking for where Cinderblock might be.
She caught herself wondering what could have been done about Cyborg at the time. Sighing, she remembered at one point of time, she had the perfect chance to have an ending blow on Cinderblock, only for her chant to be interrupted by a dinosaur falling through the sky, morphing into a human, only to crash into her.
"Heh, watch out for falling dinosaurs?" he had joked.
She had shot him an irritated glance, letting out a small hmph as she blew the hair out of her face. Beast Boy gave a terrified look, knowing full well, not to get on the mysterious girl's bad side.
"I'm going to leave you alone now," he hurried off without another word.
"Try it," Raven heard a voice that snapped her back into reality. Starfire was offering her the bowl. "It will ease your troubled mind."
"My mind is never troubled. People come, people go. It's pointless to be upset about," she seethed at the name as it crossed her lips and a little bit of her power came out, cracking the screen and blowing her hair. "Cyborg."
Beast Boy sighed as he turned the knob on a door that wasn't his own. Normally, the resident of this room hated people in her room, but he knew that didn't apply to him. She was probably reading right now, he knew how she loved being in her room reading for a couple hours, then meditating the next few.
"Raven?" he spoke softly as he entered, as if that would make his interruption of her reading time less critical.
"Beast Boy? What are you doing in here? You never visit me during the day," she put her bookmark on her page and shut the book. Her normally blank expression grew to one of concern and he instantly melted in return. Raven only showed emotion around him and he loved it.
He shrugged and muttered under his breath, "At this time I would normally be playing videogames with Cyborg, but Robin has been hogging the game all day today, and playing by myself is boring."
She smirked and with her usual wittiness replied, "Oh? So I'm his replacement? I'm only second best?"
He rolled his eyes and sit down besides her, allowing himself to wrap his arms around Raven's hips and bring her closer to him. She gave a little bit of struggle, always hesitant on affection but then allowed herself to press closer against him as he nuzzled her neck. They sat like this for what seemed like hours, their eyes shining with content.
Even without Cyborg, the titans had to defeat their target. After what seemed like mere minutes, the gooey red monster seemed to be defeated. Starfire floated around Robin's head, giving her joyous smile as she exclaimed on how everyone had done well. Beast Boy and Raven stood beside each other, smiling for a second before looking away. Oh, how he wanted to hold her hand, but he knew they would be caught if they did.
"I didn't think we could do it without—" before he could finish his sentence, Raven had jabbed him in the side with her elbow, giving him a warning glare. He rubbed is head and gave a small, forced laugh.
Beast Boy was ecstatic that Cyborg was back. They had been up until 2 a.m. playing videogames before they decided to call it quits and go to bed, but for some reason he could not sleep. After laying in bed for about a half hour, he gave up and decided to go pay Raven a visit. He softly hummed as he roamed the halls, wishing her room wasn't so far away.
"Raven!" he said her name in a sing-song voice. "Your prince is here to rescue you for your boring books!"
When he got no reply, he opened the door and peered inside, saying her name one more time before realizing she was curled up asleep in her bed.
"Oh duh, it is almost 3 a.m.," he sighed and then grinned, picking up the side of her blanket and climbing into bed with her, wrapping his arms around her tightly and protectively. She muttered something softly and then snuggled closer to him, as if almost by instinct. Beast Boy could almost guaranteed that it was his name that she had said, almost sweetly, under her breath.
More to come! :D -Adovia Jaigh
