When he teleported back to his apartment the thief known as Red X took off his mask tossing it on to the kitchen table. Sitting down at the table he smirked. Although he had never before done something so stalkerish as to spy on a girl, he did have to know if she was going to come. And now that he knew she was he could hardly contain himself. And It had been funny watching her reaction to his note. Raven was really cute when she got all angry and when her face flushed red she was totally adorable.
And now thanks to a tiny bit of breaking and entering he had a whole evening with her. But, he thought frowning, she probably wasn't going to be thrilled to be spending time with him. Well, hopefully that would soon change. Glancing at a clock he noted that it was 20 after 5, meaning that he had a little over an hour before he had to meet Raven.
He grinned.
This was going to be a night to remember.
Raven groaned.
What in the world did you wear to go secretly meet a notorious criminal on a not-date date? Her normal cloak and leotard would be too obvious, and the few civilian outfits that she owned were way too small.
She sighed.
She was so going to regret this.
Raven teintively knocked on Starfire's door.
" Starfire, it's me, Raven. Can I come in?" she spoke nervously.
"Of course!"
Raven entered the alien princess's sickenly pink room trying hard not to gag at the overpowering smell of perfume. Starfire, sitting on her bed, playing with Silkie, looked up smiling at her.
"Raven! Is there something you wish to ask me?" she asked inquisitively.
"Um… I was wondering.. if I could borrow some clothes from you? Everything of mine is… too small." she said, slightly embarrassed.
"Of course Raven! Any time!" she spoke beaming. "I'm so glad you asked!" Jumping off her bed she pulled Raven into her room. The dark teen muttered a quiet thanks, sitting down onto one of the many cushions lying around the room. "But tell me," she said, turning to Raven, "What is the reason you need these clothes?"
Raven froze.
"Um… I'm meeting a friend and I can't be in uniform" she said hurriedly. "Does this mean that you have the date?" the alien said breathlessly.
"Oh no! Not like that! It's just a friend thing!" she answered quickly, her face burning with embarrassment.
"I see," Starfire replied, smiling knowingly. She flew over to her closet and started to flip through her clothes. Watching her being so kind made Raven's heart clench. She hated lying to her friends and lying to Starfire was the worst. She was always so kind, so willing to help. But Raven really didn't have any choice if she ever wanted to get her book back. Starfire's voice jolted her out of her guilty thoughts.
"Sorry Star. What did you say?"
"I just asked you if you liked this," as she held out a shirt "But it seems you are lost in the dreams of the romantic date."
"Not a date!" "Of course it's not!" she replied, laughing. "Put these on," handing Raven a small stack of clothes and pushing her into the bathroom.
Slipping on the clothing she had to admit Starfire was really good. The clothes she had picked out were a gray crop top with a black skull design on the front, black jeggings, black ankle boots, and an off-white sweater. "Wow, I should dress like this more often," she murmured, turning in the mirror. The jeggings surprisingly fit her very well despite being Star's.
When she walked out of the bathroom Starfire gasped. "Raven! You look wonderful!"
"Thanks, and thanks for helping me out. You're a really good friend." she told her sincerely.
Starfire smiled. "What are friends for? Go," pushing her gently to the door, "have fun on your date!"
Having a thought, she turned back. "Starfire, if someone asks… Could you maybe tell them that I'm at the library?" she asked hesitently. Starfire smirked. "Yes, I would be glad to. But you must tell me how it goes when you back."
"Uhh.. I got to go," Raven said quickly.
Walking down the hall to the elevator she sighed. The only way this was going to go was bad. Might as well just get this over with. The doors of the elevator swished closed behind her as she pressed the button to the roof.
Yes, definitely best to just get this over and done with.
And a special thanks to my first reviewer DrkSpphrGT! I'm glad you like it!
So it seems that X has a pretty big thing for Raven! Don't worry, the next chapter will have a lot of RaeX interaction! I've decided to update this story every Saturday till it's finished. And it's probably going to be about 5 or 6 chapters long. As always please review i'd love to hear what you think!
