Chapter 3: Love Bug
The sun's rays shown in Raven's room brightly which made her cover her face with her blanket and grumble in annoyance. "I hate sun rays," Raven mumbled.
Knock Knock
"Rae, it's almost breakfast, wanna come out and join us?" Beastboy asked through the door, guilt still remained in his heart about what happened last night. "I'll come out later, now leave," Raven demanded. "Look Rae, I'm sorry fo-"
"Don't apologize, what you said is true, I am a Demon Freak," Raven said, cutting Beastboy's sentence off. "It's not true, Rae, anger just got the best of me," Beastboy said, trying to make her understand. "Just go away, and don't call me 'Rae', you know I hate nicknames," Raven said.
"Okay, I'll leave you alone, again, I'm sorry," Beastboy left and went in the living room to his friends. 'Why am I sad last night that Beastboy said those things to me? I'm weak, I shouldn't do that again, I'm used to these feelings anyway,' Raven thought.
~o~o~o~o~o~o
Raven went out of her room. When she opened her door, she saw Aiden in front of it. "What are you doing here outside my room?" Raven asked, unhappy. "Oh, I'm waiting for you," Aiden smiled.
"Why?"
"Because I wanted too," Aiden smirked. "Then I'm here, shoo," Raven shooed Aiden away, which made him giggle. "I won't, Sunshine, I'll walk beside you," Aiden said. "Why don't you do this to Starfire? She's a princess," Raven said, trying to figure out a way to shove him away.
"Nah, you're more worth it," Raven blushed, but covered it by putting her hood on. "Ok, just don't be near me too much," Raven said. "Alright, Doll Face, I know that you want to do it slow," Aiden flirted with the sorceress. "Shut up," Raven rolled her eyes.
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o
They arrived in the dining room and found them sitting on the dining table. "Good morning, Friend Raven and Friend Aiden," Strafire said happily. The two greeted her back and sat on the dining table. "Slept well, Raven?" Robin asked while eating his breakfast.
"Yes, I did," Raven said. "Here's your waffles and tea, Raven, made it especially for you," Cyborg handed Raven her favorite breakfast and smiled at her. "Thanks," Raven munched on her waffles.
"How about you, Aiden?" Cyborg asked. "I'll have bacon and waffles only," Aiden said.
"Ok, got it."
"So, are you the O and K, Friend Raven?" Starfire asked. "Oh I'm alright," Raven said while glaring at the green shape-shifter. "Raven, I'm sorry," Beastboy said while his ears are down. Raven said nothing and continued to eat.
"Raven, I'm sorry," Beastboy turned into a small cute puppy. The green Titan went to Raven and placed his paws on Raven's lap and created the 'puppy pout'.
"I forgive you," Raven said in her monotone voice. "You do?" Beastboy asked, stars shone in her eyes.
"Yes."
"Yay! Rae and I are friends again," Beastboy hugged Raven and purred. "Quite it, or I'll make you fly out of the window," Raven snapped. "Calm down, can't a guy just be happy when he hugs his friend?" Beastboy pouted.
Raven rolled her eyes and placed her plate in the dishes. The paled - skinned Titan walked to her room and grabbed a book named; "Love Bug"
It may be romance but Raven just wanted to give it a shot to read some romance stuff. Raven sat on the couch and read. Little did she know that Aiden crawled behind the couch's back and looked at the book she was reading.
"Nice book," Raven flinch a little and saw Aiden behind her, smirking. "What are you doing? Trying to sneak up on me?" Raven asked while narrowing her eyes.
"Well, I guess," Aiden shrugged. The blonde boy sat down next to Raven on the couch and borrowed some magazine from Cyborg and read it. Both of them are there in the couch, reading and enjoying the silence. After an hour, Aiden felt something on his shoulder. Aiden stopped reading and saw Raven sleeping soundlessly on his shoulder.
'She's so cute when she's asleep,' Aiden thought and giggled. The former thief's eyes became heavy and he too fell asleep on Raven's head.
After three hours, Raven woke up. Her eyes slowly began to open, and she saw the Teen Titans starring at her with wide grins on their faces, except for Robin who's eyes are wide. "What are you looking?" Raven raised an eyebrow.
"You and Friend Aiden are officially a couple!" Starfire squealed. "W-What?!" Raven blushed. Raven felt something on her head and realized that she slept on Aiden's shoulder and he fell asleep on her head. Raven blushed even more and stood up unexpectedly.
Aiden's head hit the cold cement and woke up suddenly.
"W-What the hell happened?" Aiden rubbed his eyes and saw the other Titans and a blushing Raven. "What did I do? All I remember is Raven sleeping on my shoulder like an angel," the other Titans laughed. "Dude, you slept on her head and you two are like a couple sleeping under the moonlight," Beastboy laughed.
"Shut up!" Raven yelled. Beastboy yelped and turned into a rat to hide behind Robin. Aiden just smiled. "Hey, you guys wanna go out?" Robin asked. "I'll stay here," Raven said. "I'll stay here too, I'm too tired," Aiden said. Robin just nodded and the whole gang said goodbye to them and went out.
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o
Raven went at the top of the Titans Tower and took a seat. "The moon is beautiful tonight, right?" Raven turned around and saw Aiden smiling at her. "Yes, it is," Raven said.
Aiden walked over to Raven and sat down beside the beautiful sorceress. Aiden looked at Raven who's still starring at the sight, he smiled a little. Raven's pale skin looked gorgeous under the moonlight and stars are shown in her eyes and began to sparkle.
"Why are you here?" Raven asked. "I just wanted to look at the view here," Aiden said. "You always come here, right? Every night?" Aiden let his back fall down on the cement.
"Yeah, how did you know?"
"After your missions in capturing and chasing me I always see you come here and meditate."
"Aiden, why did you join the Teen Titans exactly?" Raven asked turning to Aiden. "Well, I wanted to feel..." Aiden's eyes shown sadness and loneliness.
"Wanted to feel what?"
"I wanted to feel what it is like to be loved," Raven gasped a little about hearing this. "My parents died when I was four years old, the orphanage took me in, I hate it in there, they always abuse me. I left that orphanage and I started to steal to earn a living. Some people saw me in action and wanted me to steal things for them. It became my hobby, then I thought that I should hide my identity and find a perfect suit, that's why I stole Bird Boy's suit and became Red X," Aiden finished his sentence.
"I'm sorry for hearing about your parents," Raven said. "It's ok," Aiden just hid his sadness by turning around, not looking at Raven. "You know, Sunshine, I could tell you more about me," Raven raised an eyebrow and eyed at him.
"Look Aiden, you don't need to do this, we could wait until you're ready," Raven said. "No, I think this is the time," Aiden sat up and turned around and saw Raven's amethyst eyes that shone like diamonds.
"Ok, what's your true name?"
"Aiden Mathew Hernandez"
"What's the name of your mother?"
"Liliana Hernandez"
"Your father's?"
"Joseph Hernandez"
"What's your strength?
"You," Aiden thought but he just answer Martial Arts and Gymnastics.
"Aiden, you said that you wanted to be loved, right? Why join us?" Raven asked. Aiden remained silent for about a minute and answered, "I always saw you guys being happy, being filled with joy and comfort, and I realized that because I'm a thief I was loved by no one, and I thought that if I'll join your team, I'll feel being loved."
"Oh," they remained silent for a little. Then, Aiden heard Raven yawn. "Sleepy?" Raven nodded. The dark Titan stood up but her legs are a little wobbly. Aiden giggled and pulled her off her feet and carried her bridal style.
"W-What are you doing?" Raven blushed at the gesture they have. "Carrying you to your room, Babe," Aiden began to walk towards her room. "Put me down, I can walk," Raven protested. "No, you're too tired, let this just be an exchange offer for listening to me," Raven just remained silent.
Aiden smiled to himself and thought, 'She smells like lavender and roses.'
Aiden walked in her room and laid her on her bed and pulled the covers of her bed to her body. Raven began to close her eyes and fell asleep. Aiden walked out of her room, looking back at the sleeping girl and exited.
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o
Aiden went to the living room and saw no one is there and thought that maybe the gang isn't home yet. Aiden walked over to the couch and fell asleep
Aiden's Dream..(Aiden's POV)
I am in a field full of lavender flowers. I walked around and saw nothing but only the flowers. Suddenly, a light appeared and revealed the violet - haired girl, Raven. I smiled to myself and walked over to her. Raven smiled at me and hugged me, which surprised me a little.
"Aiden, you're always the man I wanted," Raven said to me while blushing. "Me too, Babe," I leaned closer to her and she did too. Our lips were centimeters apart then, we kissed passionately. My tongue invaded hers and tasted her.
She tastes like tea and sweets, which is intoxicating to me. Raven moaned in the kissed and I mumbled her name.
"Raven."
"Raven."
"Raven."
Real Time..(No one's POV)
"Raven."
Aiden heard a familiar giggle and opened his eyes slowly and saw Starfire smiling widely and Beastboy covering his mouth with his hand, restraining himself from laughing, while Cyborg and Robin are growling in anger.
"What?"
"Oh glorious! You're dreaming about Friend Raven, you love her!" Starfire blurted. "Dude, you're a pervert," Beastboy laughed. "You better not be dreaming about doing the 'thing' to her!" Robin and Cyborg yelled at him.
"W-What?! No! I'm not dreaming about things like that about Raven!" Aiden said, making a defense pose. "Good to hear," Robin said narrowing his eyes. "Calm down, Bird Boy," Aiden rolled his eyes. "Aiden dude, I almost forgot to tell you, you already have a room," Cyborg said.
"Good to hear," Aiden smiled. Cyborg and Robin led Aiden to his room, which is only in front of Raven's. "Here it it, your own room," Cyborg opened the door which is painted red and black with its furniture ready and in place. "Thanks," Aiden thanked Cyborg.
"No problem, man, oh and, do you like Raven?" Cyborg asked. "W-What?" Aiden stuttered. "We heard you mumble her name in your sleep," Robin said. "It's none of your business, Bird Brain," Aiden snapped. "It's my business, I'm your leader!" Robin yelled back.
"Cut it out," Cyborg said. They both obeyed and looked away from each other. "Sigh, Aiden, do you like Raven?" Cyborg repeated Robin's question. "I-I don't know," Aiden answered honestly.
"Hhhmm, what do you feel about her?"
"Well, when she's near, I always feel a little nervous, when she talks to me, I always feel happy," Aiden said, looking away from them. "Yup, you got it bad for her," Robin said. "Aiden, you don't like her, you love her," Cyborg teased him.
"No! I always flirt with her, yes, but...It's not like that," Aiden said sadly. "Look, I don't like you, but I heard your conversation with her, about yourself," Robin admitted. "What?! I thought you're with you gang," Aiden said.
"I kinda forgot something and went back for a while, I went up and saw you two and heard everything," Robin said. "Eavesdropper," Aiden mumbled. "Whatever," Robin rolled his eyes.
"I hate to admit but, I kinda trust you now," Robin said, a little bit embarrassed. "Why?" Aiden asked. "Well duh, I heard your reason about entering the team and I thought that I could trust you because your reason is not bad or sinister," Robin said. "Anyways, back to the main topic, you like Raven? Tell the truth," Cyborg said in a serious tone.
"I don't know yet," Aiden admitted. "Well, if you do, tell her before it's too late," Cyborg encouraged the blonde boy. "And also, if you will hurt her, I have no other choice but to kill you," Robin said in a threatening voice.
"She's like a little sister to us, man, so please take care of her," Cyborg said. "Okay, calm down," Aiden chuckled. "Okay, dude, goodnight," Cyborg and Robin was about to leave but Aiden stopped Robin.
"I need to talk to you," Aiden said to Robin. Robin nodded and told Cyborg to leave them alone. "Look Bird Boy, I know you hate me and I hate you but I think we should stop being rivals," Aiden said.
"Why?"
"This could affect the whole team, I don't want to do this but I think it's for the best," Aiden said. "Are you saying that we should be friends?" Robin raised an eyebrow. "Well, yeah," Aiden said simply. "I think I could agree to it, but first, we must gain trust to each other," Robin said.
"Agreed."
"Okay then, goodnight," Aiden went inside his room and jumped on his comfortable bed and fell asleep soundlessly.
Slade's Master's Lair
"Master, what should we do?" Slade asked the masked man.
"I think the thing that all we need to do is wait."
"How about we'll just erase her memories and make her believe that we're her friends," Slade suggested. "No, if we do those things it'll be like Terra, and I don't want that, I want her to join us without force," the man said.
"Okay then, Master."
'Raven Roth, you'll be in the evil side, sooner or later,' the man thought and smiled evilly.
