Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans
Raven opened her eyes to find herself inside the Titans medical bay. 'Cinderblock must have hit me pretty hard' she joked to herself. The girl looked down at her left hand to see Beast Boy sleeping peacefully alongside her bed, resting on a chair; His hand delicately placed above her own. Raven couldn't help but smile at the thought that Beast Boy had waited for her to wake up. She slowly made her way out of the bed, making sure not to wake Beast Boy. She wandered towards the exit when she heard movement behind her.
"Good to see you're awake" Beast Boy yawned.
The empath turned her head to meet with Beast Boy's as he walked over to her. "There were no major injuries so I healed quickly" she stated.
The changeling smiled at Raven "Well I'm glad that you're alright. Now let's get some breakfast". The two Titans made their way to the living room and prepared breakfast. Raven noticed that no one else was here meaning that she must've slept in. She sat down at the table as Beast Boy kindly offered to make them both waffles and her usual morning tea. The pale girl silently sat at the table waiting patiently when she felt two arms wrap around her body and embrace her in a bone crushing hug.
"Oh friend Raven I am delighted to see that you are doing the recovering" Starfire cheered.
Raven struggled to speak through the immobilising hug "I won't recover if you hug me so tightly" she gasped.
The Tamaranian released her grip on Raven "I am the sorry".
"It's alright".
Beast Boy walked into the room proudly placing down Raven's waffles and tea on the table with a smile plastered to his face. "Some breakfast for the lovely Raven". She blushed lightly hearing Beast Boy's comment. She was thankful she had her hood up to hide it. "Good morning Star" Beast Boy said turning his attention to the orange alien.
"Good morning friend Beast Boy. It was nice talking but I must attend to my precious Silkie now. I believe it is time for his breakfast" Starfire explained before making her way out of the living room. "I will be seeing you both the later".
Beast Boy waited for Starfire to leave the room before returning his focus to Raven. "So have you tried the tea yet?" he asked with a gentle smile on his face. "I made it just the way you like it".
Raven took a sip of tea from the cup and rested it on the bench. "It's actually pretty good. How'd you learn to make tea?"
Beast Boy smiled scratching the back of his head. "After watching you make it every day there's no way I could get it wrong".
She smiled at him sincerely "Impressive".
The two sat silently after that and ate until they were both finished. Raven was the first one to break the silence. "You ready for a meditating session?"
Beast Boy's face lit up with excitement at finally being able to meditate with Raven without disturbances. "You bet" he answered. They both put their dishes away and made their way to Raven's room.
"Before we start I need to put on a new uniform" Raven stated to the Changeling. "This one's ripped everywhere, so turn around please". Beast Boy faced the other way making sure not to watch as Raven got dressed. His face began to grow red as he heard the sound of Raven's cloak fall to the ground and her leotard zipper move down her back. It was difficult for him not to fantasise about what was happening behind him and what the empath looked like right now. He wanted nothing more than to turn around and see her form, but his dignity told him not to. As Raven got dressed she could feel the excitement coming from Beast Boy; she smirked as she sensed his growing arousal. As much as she would have liked to tease him she thought better of it.
Beast Boy's ears suddenly pricked up at the sound of her voice calling him. "I'm done you can turn around now". Raven neatly folded her old uniform and placed it on her desk to throw away later. She put on her cloak letting it rest around her shoulders and spoke to Beast Boy. "Because I'm so nice I'll let you sit on the bed" she joked.
Beast Boy smiled and jumped onto her Queen sized bed and spread himself out as if it were his own. "Sounds great Rae".
"Raven" she corrected nudging him so he would sit up. "Now I want you to cross your legs and keep your back straight". Beast Boy carefully followed her instructions. "Then close your eyes and focus on nothing but your breathing. They both proceeded to do so and sat in silence for a few minutes before Beast Boy interrupted the peace.
"Am I supposed to think about anything in particular?" He asked.
Raven sighed at his interruption trying not to show her slight frustration with his impatience. "Once you enter a trance try thinking about the Beast. Since he is a part of you, like my emotions in Nevermore; you should be able to locate him easily".
Beast Boy nodded then returned his focus to his meditation. Eventually he felt his muscles ease as he entered a trance. He opened his eyes to find that he was no longer in Raven's room. It worked; the green Titan managed to enter a realm within his own mind successfully. He began wandering around the dull landscape until he came across a path leading towards a dark void. Beast Boy walked through the darkness feeling something primal inside of him spark. The Beast was definitely here, though he appeared to be hiding. "Hello" he called out. "Anybody here?" No answer. Nothing could be heard but the sound of his soft breathing and heart pounding in his chest.
He continued to walk around for what seemed like eternity until he heard a low growl. "She's mine". Beast Boy turned around looking in all directions filled with adrenaline trying to find the source of the voice. His concentration was suddenly broken by the sensation of something pressed against his left shoulder. His eyes jolted open to see Raven looking at him, her hand resting on his shoulder.
Raven looked at him confused and spoke "Beast Boy are you alright? You began sweating and fidgeting out of the blue".
Beast Boy knew he couldn't tell her about the Beast's voice. Raven obviously felt threatened by the Beast; He just didn't want to make the pale Titan feel any more scared than she already was. Though he had no choice but to tell her about his little success in communicating with him. He managed to stumble on his words "Well, I didn't manage to contact him. I think he's hiding for now".
Raven felt her spine shiver at the fact that Beast Boy couldn't locate the Beast within his own mind. The thought scared her but she couldn't show it. She gently rubbed her temples to calm herself and looked back at Beast Boy. "That's odd. You'll just have to try again another day" she reassured herself.
"Well, if we're done meditating how about we go to the training hall for a while?" The changeling asked.
She looked at Beast Boy and smirked. "You want to train with me? That's a first".
"To make it fair we should have a sparring match. No powers allowed".
"Alright then, let's go". The half demon walked across the halls to the training room with Beast Boy closely following.
Before they entered Beast Boy chuckled to himself. "I bet you 10 bucks Robin's in here training".
Raven let a small smile form on her face hearing Beast Boy. "Don't be rude. Robin has worked hard to get to where he is now. I think you can learn a lot from him" she answered.
Beast Boy's grin faded and his ears flattened slightly. "I don't need help from Robin. When we start I'll show you how tough I am" he stated with confidence in his voice. This was his chance to prove to Raven that he was capable of holding his ground in a fight. Or maybe it was how the Beast wanted to prove he was a worthy mate. They both entered the hall to find no one inside. "Wow I can't believe he's not here" Beast Boy joked.
The empath ignored Beast Boy and removed her cloak, resting it on a nearby bench. "Ok Beast Boy, show me how tough you are" Raven teased walking towards the centre of the room.
He grinned at her and walked towards her. "You know you're gonna lose right? I have way more experience in hand-to-hand combat than you".
"What makes you say that?" Raven asked crossing her arms.
"You rely on your powers so much I don't think I've ever seen you fight without them". Beast Boy explained smiling.
"We'll just have to see how tough I am then" Raven stated throwing her arms towards Beast Boy in an attempt to hit him. He effortlessly avoided her attack and knocked her to the ground by tripping her over.
"If you want to beat me you'll need to predict my moves. Always be one step ahead of your opponent" Beast Boy said with his hand out offering to help Raven up. Raven lifted herself up and struck the changeling in the chest. She then proceeded to block his punch. They continued to spar for what seemed like hours. With each new round one of the Titans would always find a new way to outsmart the other opponent and knock them over. Beast Boy certainly had the advantage over Raven with his experience but she quickly picked up his skills and fought back almost as well as him. Eventually they both agreed to end their training and take a break.
Panting, Raven walked towards the fridge inside the training hall and pulled out a plastic water bottle before drinking from it. "Who taught you to fight like that?" the girl asked sweating.
Beast Boy grabbed a fresh towel and began to wipe away his sweat. "When I joined the Doom Patrol they taught me a lot, along with the Titans. Though my animal instincts make it easier to avoid attacks." He boasted proudly.
Raven put down her water and looked at Beast Boy. "I'm sorry for underestimating you earlier" she stated with a genuine tone to her voice.
Beast Boy smiled at Raven, his grin growing wider with the idea that just came to mind. "Do you wanna go for a swim now Rae? Perfect chance to cool off" he asked trying not to sound like an idiot. Sure he wanted to go for a swim after their intense training session but he also enjoyed the idea of seeing the Raven in a swimsuit.
The dark haired girl hesitated at his offer but knew how much she wanted to cool off right now. She answered him with a smirk. "Alright, I'll meet you in the indoor pool". She could tell by the emotion coming off him that he was eager to see her in a swimsuit. She never knew how much of a perv he could be but it didn't bother her in the slightest. Knowing how much the changeling was eager to see her in a swimsuit made her feel special. Raven didn't want to seem dirty but she felt like this could be her chance to get closer to Beast Boy. Some of her emotions were beginning to grow restless due to fact that she was in denial about her attraction to the changeling. Most of the time when she got close to him she would sense his heart rate increase. Though she always brushed it off as Beast Boy just being Beast Boy; she could never believe that anyone would love a half demon.
Raven left the training hall and headed towards her bedroom to get changed. She had never felt comfortable with the idea of wearing a bikini, unlike Starfire. She swapped her normal outfit for a black one-piece swimsuit. The empath couldn't help herself as she checked herself out in the mirror. "Damn we look good" Brave stated.
Timid hid behind Brave's green coloured cloak "This swimsuit might be too revealing" she whispered.
"I have to disagree with you" Love pointed out to Timid. "Beast Boy will think we're hot as hell wearing this".
"Indeed, this outfit is certainly more revealing than our usual. Beast Boy will be sure to notice" Knowledge said fixing her glasses.
Raven grunted at her emotions' conversation. "It doesn't matter how Beast Boy sees me; I'm only swimming to cool down and relax" she told herself unconvincingly.
"Don't lie to yourself Raven. You know you're only swimming to see Beast Boy shirtless" Lust spoke grinning suggestively.
"Raven growled to the maroon cloaked emotion "Don't you dare try anything".
Lust chuckled "Don't worry dear, I won't do anything. Not yet".
After Lust's comment Raven's emotions went silent. She double checked herself in the mirror. Her swimsuit was just like her leotard except there were no sleeves and her chest was left open. Once she reassured herself that she looked fine she went down to the pool. "Why am I even concerned about how I look to Beast Boy?" She muttered to herself in a state of confusion.
Not to her surprise she found the green Titan already swimming laps in the pool. She rested her towel on the nearest chair and walked into the heated pool. Beast Boy stopped swimming and looked up when he noticed Raven entering the pool. "You look nice Rae". He said trying to sound innocent. Though in his head he couldn't stop admiring how nice she looked in her swimsuit. There was no doubt his attraction to Raven had grown recently and seeing her in a swimsuit didn't help his self-control. His animal instincts told him to ravage Raven right now but his sanity told him otherwise. Beast Boy knew if he let his animal urges take over there was no way she would ever go near him again; Let alone be in a relationship with him.
Without thinking she replied whispering "You don't look to bad yourself". She couldn't help but admire his exposed chest and muscles. He certainly wasn't the scrawny teenager he used to be but still wasn't as built up as Robin was. Not to mention he wasn't wearing his grey gloves. His exposed skin revealed his small claw-like nails on his hands.
"Kinky" Lust whispered.
Beast Boy heard Raven's comment with his enhanced hearing, but chose not to say anything back. 'I can't believe she actually said that' he marvelled to himself.
The empath instantly turned red realising she said that to Beast Boy knowing he probably heard her. "Oh Azar why did I say that?" she mentally screamed to herself.
"Because you know it's true" Lust told her. "Just imagine what he's hiding under those pants" she whispered seductively.
Raven's face turned even brighter at the thought that was put into her mind. She quickly tried to cover her face with her hood when she noticed Beast Boy swimming over but remembered she was in her swimsuit.
Beast Boy got close to Raven grinning "You're face is pretty red Rae. What's wrong?" He teased.
Raven stared at his chest and quickly turned to his face. As tempting as she found it she didn't continue studying his body. "I'm perfectly fine" she spat out.
"Oh yeah?" Beast Boy grinned. "Maybe you just need to cool off" he joked splashing her with water. She squinted her eyes at the friendly attack but quickly recovered and splashed him back. The changeling quickly dropped under the water avoiding her splash then morphed into an octopus. He wrapped his tentacles around her legs and pulled her under before changing back to his normal form. He couldn't help but let out a small chuckle.
Raven burst out of the water in an attempt to catch her breath. Out of the blue she began to laugh lightly. Beast Boy smiled in amazement that he managed to get Raven to laugh; something that she did so rarely he sometimes thought that she was incapable of doing so. He loved the sound of her light chuckles, though she rarely expressed laughter it was one of the reasons he had fallen for her. An object suddenly smashed on the other side of the room. Raven's laughter began to die down when she heard the sound.
Beast Boy looked at the pale girl in sorrow. "It must be so difficult for you" he commented softly. "What's it like? Having to control your emotions so much?" His voice became more serious but with an empathetic tone.
Raven sat in the water for a moment pondering on his question. "No one's ever asked me that before. It's not always easy, but I manage. That's why I meditate all the time, so I can control my emotions as they're linked to my powers" she replied calmly. "Why are you asking?"
"It's something I've always wanted to know" he replied.
Raven lifted the tone of her voice. "Well I've always wanted to know something about you". Beast Boy looked at Raven curiously. "What's it like when you change into an animal? Does it hurt? Can you still understand English?"
He smiled at being asked such a question. Surprisingly no one had ever asked him much about his powers. "Well, it's extremely different from being human. I take on the instincts of whatever animal I morph into as well; which is never a good thing. It always hurts to transform, though I've gotten used to the pain". He smiled at Raven trying to reassure her that he was fine. "And surprisingly I can't understand English or any other language as an animal. The Beast is the only animal who knows English and can speak it".
"Wow. I never knew it was like that" Raven told him sounding slightly shocked. Beast Boy climbed out of the pool grabbing the nearest towel. She followed him and wrapped a towel around herself. "Why didn't you tell anyone?"
"Telling people won't change anything. I don't need sympathy" Beast Boy stated. "Though I appreciate the concern".
10 minutes later
After the short and informative swim in the pool Raven decided to stay in her room for a while and read. The purple haired girl didn't even get 15 minutes to herself before she was interrupted. Her reading came to a sudden halt when she felt a sudden force jump onto her bed. Raven lowered her book to see a light green cat crawl towards her. The cat mewed and rested on her lap. Usually she would kick Beast Boy out of her room but instead she smiled gently at the cat before she went back to reading. The feline stuck its head under the book and turned to look at the pages. He stared at her meowing, then went back to looking at her book. "What do you want Beast Boy?" Raven asked without taking her eyes off the pages.
The green cat suddenly morphed into Beast Boy, his head resting on Raven's lap while the rest of his body lay on her bed. "Oh Azar he's sitting on our lap" Happy shouted.
"He looks so cute like this" Love stated. "Why can't he do this every day?"
"Shut up" Raven told her emotions.
Suddenly Beast Boy interrupted the mental conversation. "What are you reading?" he asked.
She answered him in her monotone voice. "Learning a new spell. I figured that if I learnt to transform into an animal temporarily I could understand you and your powers better".
"Raven you don't need to do that. Besides, your body won't be used to shapeshifting".
"You can't change my mind, I'm going to finish this spell".
The changeling sighed knowing that arguing with her would be pointless. Once Raven made up her mind there was no way of changing it. "Alright, I'm not going to stop you. I'm just going to warn you now that you'll pick up certain animal instincts; you won't be used to them meaning that if you're not careful they could control the way you think. You'll need to learn to control these instincts, they're more dangerous than you know.
"Is that what it's like for you?" she asked calmly.
"Yeah, since I have animal DNA those instincts carry into my human form".
Raven lightened her tone and smiled gently at the changeling. "Well if this spell works you won't have to be alone all the time".
Beast Boy smiled, his ears lifted up. "Sounds great Rae, but do you know what animal you want to be?"
"I haven't thought about it" she answered.
"Why don't you try the Mexican wolf? Beast Boy suggested. "They're always fun".
"Alright. Give me a few more minutes to memorise the spell. Tell the others what I'm doing" she asked watching Beast Boy get off her bed.
Beast Boy wandered off into the living room, luckily everyone was there. Robin and Cyborg were playing video games while Starfire cheered them both on. The green Titan spoke over the sound of the television, alerting the three of them to his presence. "Raven's decided to learn a new spell" he announced. "She's decided to transform into a wolf for a while. So it's best to stay away from her until she gets used to transforming".
Starfire was the first to question Beast Boy's statement. "Why is friend Raven becoming the wolf?"
"She says she wants to understand my powers better" Beast Boy answered.
"Alright just be careful. There's a roast in the oven and I don't want any animals ruining it" Cyborg told the changeling, turning his head from the game.
"Make sure you're with her Beast Boy" Robin commented.
Beast Boy felt proud knowing that he was responsible for helping Raven. "Don't worry I'll look after her" he claimed proudly. Beast Boy made his way back to Raven's room. "You memorised the spell?" he asked.
"Yes I know what to do". Raven placed her spell book on her bed and chanted her mantra. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos". The empath dropped to her hands and knees feeling as if her bones were breaking. Beast Boy watched trying not to feel sorry for her. There was nothing he could do for her right now. Raven let out a painful cry before she lay motionless on the floor. Beast Boy crouched next to her and began patting her gently. She had lavender purple fur with dark patches of purple running along her back. Raven began to move slightly before groaning from the pain. She opened her eyes to find that everything was bigger than her. Even her bed seemed taller. She turned her head to find Beast Boy crouched next to her as he petted her fur. She growled defensively baring her teeth.
Beast Boy noticed her aggressiveness and morphed into a wolf and sat closer to her. "How are you feeling?" he asked calmly.
She stopped growling and answered him. I'm fine, just a bit sore".
Beast Boy laughed at her comment. "You'll get used to it. Try standing up".
The lavender canine attempted to lift herself off the ground several times. Each attempt she fell over until she finally managed to stay upright. "Now what?" she barked.
"Well" Beast Boy began wagging his tail. "I've always wanted to play tag in the tower but no one else could transform into a wolf. Until now" he smirked.
"So you want to play tag?"
"Yeah" Beast Boy was cut off when Raven nipped at his left ear and ran stumbling out of the room. He chased Raven managing to catch up to her effortlessly until they entered the living room. The empath darted past the couch and crashed into a pair of legs.
Starfire almost fell over from the force of the impact but managed to keep her balance. She looked down to see the purple wolf that was obviously Raven. The Tamerainian went down to pat the canine but Raven snapped at her hand and growled at it. Luckily she moved her hand in time. "Raven, it is your friend Starfire. Please do not be afraid".
Beast Boy caught up to Raven to see her snarling defensively at Sarfire. Panting from running through the tower he tried to calm her. "Don't hurt Starfire".
"She scared me" Raven told him. "Why can't I understand what she's saying?"
"I told you earlier, when you transform you can't understand English".
Raven looked at Beast Boy confused. "Aren't we speaking English?"
"It's complicated" he replied.
"Being an animal is weird, I can't help but want to attack Starfire".
"These are your animal instincts. You felt threatened so naturally you'd attack her. And naturally I'd tag you" Beast Boy barked as he nipped at her ear and ran into the kitchen; knocking over Cyborg who had just brought a lamb roast out of the oven.
The emerald wolf crashed into Cyborg but continued running. The roast fell onto the floor before the tin man could catch it. "No! All that hard work gone!" he cried falling to his knees.
Raven quickly followed Beast Boy and jumped over their ruined dinner carelessly. Beast Boy then proceeded to run onto the couch where Robin was sitting. He crashed into Robin, bowling him over with an extreme force. Raven came to a sudden halt in front of the couch when she heard Robin shout. "That's it!" he screamed. "I want you both outside now!" The masked Titan pushed the green dog off him and scared them both out of the room.
Both Raven and Beast Boy ran out the common room as fast as their paws could carry them. They ran out of the tower and into the backyard under the shade of a tree. Raven collapsed onto her side panting from exhaustion. "My legs are so tired, I guess I'm not used to running a lot" she laughed.
"But it was fun wasn't it?" Beast Boy asked smiling.
"It was pretty exciting" the empath admitted. "I think I'm going to rest for a while". Beast Boy sat next to her and began to lick her ear affectionately. "What are you doing?" she asked with a hint of embarrassment in her voice. It was impossible right now but if she could Raven's cheeks would be bright red. She began to uncontrollably wag her tail with excitement.
"I'm cleaning your fur" Beast Boy stated reassuring Raven. "This is what wolves do to show affection and clean each other".
"But I'm not dirty" she told him.
Beast Boy chuckled lightly. "Then I'm not cleaning you am I?"
'Oh Azar' Raven thought to herself. 'This can't be happening'. She felt her embarrassment grow with every lick Beast boy gave her but she couldn't deny how she was enjoying the sensation. Raven repositioned herself so she was closer to Beast Boy. She hesitantly began to groom his fur with her tongue. She didn't want to admit it but she did enjoy sharing tongues with Beast Boy. The two groomed each other for a few minutes before Raven jolted her head up, sniffing the air. "What's that smell?"
Beast Boy barley moved. "There's a rabbit in the bush behind me". He had already scented it earlier so he didn't seem too curious.
Raven stood up and went into a hunter's crouch. "Is it just me? Because I'm really hungry" she told Beast Boy.
"It's probably your instincts to hunt and kill prey" he stated calmly.
As soon as the rabbit jumped out of the bush Raven leaped at it. Not to anyone's surprise she missed and the rabbit ran away. Raven fell flat on her face tripping over her own paws. Beast Boy couldn't help but let a small laugh escape him. "Don't laugh at me" she snapped.
His laughing stopped and Beast Boy stood up and padded towards Raven. "Wanna play another game?" he asked.
"What did you have in mind?"
"I was thinking Frisbee. I throw and you catch".
"You're kidding right?"
He practically begged her. "Please Rae, you'll love it".
She hesitated but eventually gave in to his whining. "Fine I'll play Frisbee.
"Thanks Rae" was all Beast Boy said before he padded towards a hollow in the tree they were sitting under. He picked out a red Frisbee from a stash of dog toys and ran back to Raven.
"Why do you have a stash of dog toys in the backyard?" the empath asked.
"Doesn't everyone?" he joked before morphing into his human form. Beast Boy threw the disc across the yard watching Raven chase after it. The lavender wolf jumped into the air attempting to catch the Frisbee with her mouth but failed. She picked up the red disc and carried it back to Beast Boy. The changeling patted her soft fur when she came over to drop the now saliva covered Frisbee. "Nice try, you'll get the hang of it". Raven couldn't help but wag her tail at Beast Boy's praise. Beast Boy picked up the Frisbee and threw it again; this time Raven caught it successfully and brought it back to him.
They continued to play Frisbee for another 20 minutes before Beast Boy noticed that Raven was growing tired. He put the Frisbee away and morphed back into a wolf. They both agreed to return to the tower. Raven entered her room and jumped onto her bed; she noticed Beast Boy follow her into her room. "I'm going to sleep for a few hours before dinner".
Beast Boy pretended to be upset and began to make whining noises. "Oh, alright".
Raven could easily tell that he was trying to fool her but she still felt guilty and eventually gave in. "Fine, you can sleep up here" she told him. Beast Boy began wagging his tail and jumped onto Raven's bed. They curled up together and drifted off to sleep.
Beast Boy opened his emerald eyes to realise that he was still in Raven's room. He looked through the window to see how dark it was. 'Must have been asleep for hours' Beast Boy thought looking out the window; not to mention that it was raining furiously outside. The changeling was surprised that the rain hadn't woken her up. Beast Boy morphed into his regular form, still lying next to the sleeping Titan. He smiled softly as he began to stroke her silky fur.
The sudden sensation of Beast Boy's touch woke Raven but she didn't bother to move. She simply lay there with her eyes shut, enjoying the attention. She blew her cover when she began to wag her tail. The green Titan realised she was awake and stopped petting her fur. Raven whispered her mantra and let out a small cry of pain as she transformed into her usual self. She hesitated to move for a small moment as she got used to her body. "How'd you sleep?" Beast Boy asked resting his hand on her shoulder.
Raven was thankful she was facing the other way due to her cheeks growing red. "It felt weird" she answered. "Everything is so primitive, even dreams are different".
"What did you dream about?" Beast Boy asked.
"I was walking through the forest, and I began to chase prey between the trees. Are your dreams like that?"
"Not all the time" he replied. "And they're not always pleasant". Beast Boy then removed his hand from Raven's shoulder; he then attempted to change the topic. "So do you think you understand me better?"
"I think I learnt a lot, and it was pretty fun" Raven replied smiling.
Beast Boy's ears lifted up "Would you do it again?"
"Definitely". She paused for a brief moment. "Though I'd love to chat, I think we should get ready for dinner". When dinner came around the other three Titans were curious to hear about Raven's experience. She explained that she had enhanced senses and couldn't understand any of them speak.
Cyborg laughed lightly. "Don't worry you two; I had to cook a whole new roast because of your chaotic game of destroy the tower".
Beast Boy laughed "You know it was an accident Cy".
"I spent hours preparing that gorgeous hunk of meat, and because of you I dropped it on the floor where your muddy paws had been".
"It's alright now" Starfire reassured. "We have a new lamb of the roast" she said proceeding to cover her food in mustard.
"I think you mean lamb roast" Robin corrected.
"I don't think it matters too much to Beast Boy anyway. It's not like he was going to eat it" Raven joked in her monotone voice.
"Meat is murder" the changeling stated proudly as he ate his salad.
"Suit yourself" Cyborg replied. "More meat for us". The Titans eventually finished their meals and decided to watch some movies together. "What kind of movies do you guys want to watch?" the tin man asked.
"How about a zombie movie?" Beast Boy suggested enthusiastically.
Raven answered first. "No thanks".
"How about we participate in the viewing of the original War of the Stars trilogy?" Starfire suggested holding a case of DVD's.
"Star Wars sound good" Robin answered.
'Anything Starfire suggests sounds good to you' Beast Boy thought smirking. The group all agreed to watch the original Star Wars trilogy starting from 'A New Hope'. Occasionally throughout the films Beast Boy would glance at Raven; noticing how she was slowly drifting in and out of sleep from exhaustion. Once they finished watching the first two movies they decided to go to bed.
"We'll watch the final movie tomorrow" Cyborg promised. "Goodnight" he said walking out of the common room. Starfire had already fallen asleep so Robin carried her to their room as they slept in the same bed now. Everyone said goodnight and left the hall to go to sleep.
Raven was listening to the sound of the rain spitting against her window as she tried to fall asleep. She was almost asleep when she felt something furry lay on her chest and begin to purr softly. She opened her eyes to find a green cat curled up on her chest sleeping peacefully. "You shouldn't be in here" she told the feline. The cat barely mewed in response. "Beast Boy you're really heavy" she complained. "Get off". Beast Boy crawled off her. He sat next to her face and stared into her eyes. "What?" Raven asked yawning.
"Meow"
"Beast Boy". No response. Raven hesitantly got out of bed and picked up the green cat. She carried him back to Beast Boy's room and rested him on his bed. The cat jumped off the bed and darted out of the room. His heavy paw steps could be heard running towards her room. "Why me?" she muttered to herself as she walked back to her room.
