The next morning, the sun shined brightly in Raven's room. The demoness groaned and pulled the covers over her head, blocking out the sun.
"Azarath Metrion Zenthos!" she groaned, closing the curtains with her mind.
Not five minutes had passed before someone was banging on her door. "Raven! Get up!" ugh. Beastboy.
"Go. AWAY." She said, pulling the sheets tighter around her.
"C'mon Raven! Robin wants us all in the living room. Now!" she heard the green monster run down the hall.
She slowly made her way out of bed, into a new uniform, and into the living room. She went to the kitchen first, making herself a cup of herbal tea. She sat down on their wide couch, in between Beastboy and Starfire. "So, what is this 'oh-so-important' meeting about, fearless leader?" the Demon girl asked with much sarcasm.
"I could make due WITHOUT the sarcasm, Raven." He narrowed his eyes at her.
"Sure, sure," she said.
The bird boy waited five minutes to make sure she was done and had gotten everything off of her chest, he was sure. "Ok, team. We have a lot of stuff to take care of. Yesterday, we couldn't catch the Hive Five. And in the process, we almost lost Raven." The titans looked at the Raven girl with sad expressions on their faces.
Like always, Beastboy had to ruin the moment. "How'd you get out of there anyway, Rae?"
The girl stopped sipping her tea and swallowed hard. She didn't want to get into the fact that Kyd Wykkyd saved her and she knew that if she did, then she'd think about him for the rest of the day. She quickly came up with an excuse. "I, uh, used my powers, of course."
"Sure, Raven. That's why it took you half an hour to get back home." Damn you, Beastboy. She thought. Damn you to HELL. "How'd you REALLY get outta there?" he asked instead of damning himself to Hell like she wanted him to.
She glared at the green monster next to her. "I told you. I used my powers."
Beastboy moved a couple of inches away, intimidated by Raven. "Ok ok. No need to get violent."
Robin continued. "We need to be wary of the Hive Five for awhile. I don't wanna risk the chance of losing another teammate. Got that, team?"
"Yeah," came out of each of their mouths.
"Okay. Cyborg, there's something wrong with the T jet. Can you fix it?"
The robot man looked at Robin in surprise. "Of course I can fix it! I'm the one that built it!" The robot ran to the garage to fix his 'baby'.
Robin held up his hands in defeat. "Okay. Beastboy, I really need you to clean your room, man."
Beastboy frowned. "Do I have to?" he sounded like a little kid.
"Yes. I'm beginning to think that if you don't that your clothes will come to life and attack."
Beastboy looked at Raven and Starfire. "Is it really that bad, guys?" They nodded. Beastboy sighed and walked to his room, mumbling to himself. "They couldn't be on my side this ONCE." He said as he left.
They chuckled lightly. "Starfire." The alien girl's emerald eyes sparkled at how he said her name.
"Yes, friend Robin?" but how she wished that he was MORE than her friend.
"You're on grocery shopping duty."
"OK!" she said, flying away.
"What about me, Rob?" Raven asked, sipping her tea some more. "What do I need to do?"
"I need you…to RELAX." He said, heading to the kitchen for breakfast.
"What?" she asked. "Relax?"
"Yeah. Just take it easy today. You had a rough day yesterday."
"Okay?" she said warily.
"Don't take it personal, Rae. Relax. Drink your tea." He tilted her cup towards her and left.
"Whatever, boy blunder." She put down her tea cup and began to meditate.
An hour later, the Raven girl decided to go for a walk. She walked the streets of Jump City alone in the park. She noticed someone sitting under a tree. Her eyes widened when she realized it was Kyd Wykkyd.
The figure's head snapped up and he looked at her. His hand waved her over. Slowly, she walked to the misunderstood villain and took a hesitant seat next to him.
How are you, Raven? He asked politely.
"Good, thank you." Her eyes widened some more. "You know my name?"
I know all the pretty girls' names. He flirted.
"ok. But you know MY name."
Like I said. I know all the pretty girls' names.
She scoffed. "I'm not pretty."
Have you LOOKED in the mirror lately? Believe me, Raven. You're beautiful.
The blush rushed to Raven's cheeks in the blink of an eye. She turned away from the dark boy. "So…what are you doing here?"
Meditating.
"OH? Wouldn't you prefer to do that at home?"
Ha! What home?!
"You don't call The Hive your home?"
I do. But it's not my home.
"I don't understand."
It IS kinda complicated. Well, you know the saying 'home is where the heart is'?
"Yes." He turned her face towards him and stared into her onyx eyes.
My heart is not with the Hive. She swallowed. Did he just say that Raven had his heart? OMG!
"oh."
So, Raven. Who's this boy you've been thinking of? He asked, letting go of the girl's face.
"WH-what?"
Who's the lucky guy who gets to call you his? Kyd Wykkyd had a smirk on his face, knowing that the boy was him.
"Oh!" Raven yelled. She understood now that he was playing a game. She twirled a piece of her hair in her fingers. "Oh…just this boy I like a lo—"
She was cut off by Kyd Wykkyd's lips against hers. She was shocked at first but then her lips began to move in sync with his. When they broke the kiss, each was breathing hard. Raven continued. "—I like a lot."
Oh really? Kyd Wykkyd said as he fixed his now wrinkled street clothes. Do you know if he likes YOU?
"NO," she said, till trying to catch her breath. "But I know now that he's an AMAZING kisser."
He chuckled. Amazing, huh?
"Yeah."
Well, I can tell you that he likes you back.
She smiled at him, a true and genuine smile. He leaned in to kiss her lips once more. I like you, Raven. He thought to her.
She let out a quiet sigh. "I like you too, Wykkyd."
For the rest of the day, the new couple sat under the tree. Kissing and talking. Getting to know each other until they had to leave at six.
As Raven turned to leave, she spun around towards Wykkyd. "Wykkyd!" she called.
He turned around with a smirk on his pale face. Yes, Raven?
"When's the next time I'll see you?" she asked, walking back to him.
He frowned, knowing the next time they'll probably see each other is when the Hive Five goes on another mission. He wasn't going to say that tho. He took her face in his hands and placed a small kiss on her forehead. I have a feeling we'll be seeing each other VERY soon.
She smiled and kissed him once more before flying back to the tower.
