Titan Tidbits

I do not own the Teen Titans, but only wish to write drabbles and take them along for the ride.

Please excuse any grammar or spelling errors.

Enjoy.

Routine pt2

Beastboy yawned as he slowly sifted through the pile of laundry. His Doom Patrol alarm clock read 5:26 am, and the sun was just past the horizon. After answering the pull of his animal side by welcoming the sun via-rooster, Beastboy had crawled back to his room to sleep til' 9 o' clock.

Only to have sleep escape him for nearly half an hour.

Tired and cranky, Beastboy supposed the only thing he could do was take a warm shower and hope it would help him catch some z's. Grabbing a sorta-clean towel, the green lad entered the empty halls and walked towards the nearest bathroom.

I guess the only good thing outta this is that I can take an extra-long shower since nobody is up at this hour-

Hydraulic door 'whooshing' open, steam billowing out, and a wet, towel-clad Raven emerged out of the mist. Violet eyes met green, and Beastboy's mouth became dry as the African deserts.

"Um…you're up early. If you're gonna take a shower, you might want to wait a bit for some hot water to come back…sorry."

A full two minutes passed after the girl's exit when Beastboy finally moved into the bathroom, and twisted the knob until the water was ice-cold.

Color

Smooth chanting was heard by the large bay windows, the incantation the only sound in the common room. All was peaceful with the lull of rain drops pattering steadily on the windows behind her.

Until the doors 'whooshed' open.

"Maaaaan! Can't believe it starts raining right in the middle of Stankball! Now Cyborg is off to work on the T-Car and Robin and Starfire are going on a date-oh hey Raven- and now I have nothing to do!"

Some clinking from the refrigerator.

"…You want to play some Mega Monkeys Raven?" The tone used said that he didn't expect a positive answer, but a small part of her was happy that he asked anyway.

"I wonder if a rainbow would show after it rains? Hmm, how does that order go again?" He was babbling, but it wasn't as irritating as usual. Must be the weather…

"It was red…? Yeah, it was red-" Dark eyebrows narrowed.

Red for rage.

"-then yellow? No, it was orange then yellow-"

Orange for rude, yellow for wisdom.

"-and then green, blue-"

Green for bravery, blue for…well…myself.

"-and violet. I think I got all of them. I'm think there's a pink or brown in there somewhere though."

Brown for stubbornness, pink for happiness, and violet for-

A warm scent hit her nose and an indigo eye cracked open to see a hesitant smile and gloved hand offering a mug of hot cocoa. The color of his mug matched her own.

A faint fire burned under Raven's cheeks as she sipped the beverage, and a faint sigh echoed in her head.

…I'll let violet go unnamed. If not for a little while longer.

Pie

The moment of silence was longer that Starfire thought it would be. Realizing that her fingers were twirling her hair, the princess clamped her hands behind her back and smiled wider at the Boy Wonder.

"Wow Star…this looks great! You really made this by hand?"

The disbelief coating his words made her stomachs clench, but she nodded; glancing at her shoes for a few moments before stating softly:

"I am in need of a 'taste tester'."

Robin hid it well, but the young woman still saw the slight grimace at her words. Starfire knew that her cooking didn't normally go well, but she had been taking classes and felt confident to try something the human stomach could handle.

So here she was, trying not to take it too personally when Robin gently prodded the dessert with the provided fork with a seriousness that someone would have with a ticking bomb.

Grinning so hard that her cheeks ached, Starfire's breath caught when Robin carved out a bite.

Another tense pause surrounded the two, before Robin took a small breath and closed his mouth around the fork.

His face betrayed nothing as he chewed, slowly, on the morsel. Starfire hovered nervously, eyes glued to his face for any sort of reaction and her hands whipping up to curl the red tendrils around her fingers.

After what seemed like centuries of waiting, Robin looked at the alien and smiled.

"I'd never thought I'd eat another pie after the Mother Mae Eye fiasco, but this rhubarb pie was tasty Starfire. Great job."

Feeling her heart soar and lips form a real thousand-watt smile, Starfire snatched up Robin in a brief hug before hunting down the rest of her teammates to show off her victory; the faintly burnt pie resting securely between her hands.
