Chapter 4- Sensitivity

Again do not own anything, but I hope you enjoy!

Raven was the first to wake, as usual. She was brewing her tea when Robin came into the common room and froze.

"Everything ok Rob?"

"Huh? Oh yeah…it's nothing."

Robin made his way into the kitchen to make some breakfast. Raven noticed that he was stealing glances at her but didn't say anything. Her teapot let out a whistle and she poured herself a cup of tea.

"Mornin' yawl!"

Cyborg burst through the common room doors. He stopped dead in his tracks and stared at Raven. Hmm Gar must have been right, they both did it.

"Hey Cy why ya lookin' at my girl like that?" Beast Boy snuck up behind the metal man. He gave Raven a wink.

"I uh…I wasn't!" He yelped unconvincingly. Beast Boy laughed at him and walked over to Raven pulling her into his arms. "You can't have her. She's all mine." He kissed her neck and nuzzled into her shoulder.

"What did you guys do? There's something different about you." Cyborg questioned. "Oh nothing Cy." Beast Boys mumbled. Starfire came into the room now dressed in civilian clothing. She walked up and grabbed an apple out of the fridge and look at her friends. She suddenly smiled with realization and grabbed Beast Boy into a bone-crushing hug.

"Oh friend! You did it!"

"What did he do?" Robin looked at his girlfriend confused.

"He claimed Raven as his mate!" She exclaimed. Robin and Cyborg both spit out what they were eating. "What?" They said at the same time.

"Oh friends this is glorious! Beast Boy has claimed Raven as his life mate!"

"Star what are you talking about? How does that even happen?"

"Boyfriend Robin, when some species of animals find their someone they release a chemical during intercourse that leaves their scent on their loved one. It is very common in the animal kingdom."

Cyborg burst out laughing, "Star I thought your alien race descended from some species of cat or something? Doesn't that mean you would do that too?"

"Well yes, but on my home planet the man is to do the claiming. It would not be custom for me to do it." Beast Boy nudged Robin, "What if Ol' Robs here asked you to do it? Would you be able to do it then?"

"Yes I suppose that could work but it is a big decision for someone to make." Robin nudged Beast Boy and smiled at him. "Oh what a glorious occasion! Friend Raven we must go to the mall of shopping to celebrate! Please, it would be wonderful. We could go buy something special and spend the day looking at shops and doing the girl talking." Starfire rambled on excitedly.

Raven sighed but accepted the offer, "Let me get dressed. We can leave in about an hour 'k Star?"

"Oh yes that is most acceptable!"

The girls headed out for the mall, leaving the boys home alone.

"So…you guys had sex?"

Cyborg couldn't help but ask. He never really pictured the two doing something like that considering that they hardly ever displayed affection publicly. He had only ever seen them kiss maybe four times in the three years they had become official.

"Cy, we've been having sex for almost two years."

Beast Boy answered matter-of-factly leaving Cyborg, mouth agape, in awe. Robin just snickered at Cyborg. He couldn't believe Cyborg was so clueless about his best friend's escapades.

"Wait, What? You never told me! Robin please tell me that I'm not the only virgin left."

"No Cyborg, Star and I are saving it until we get married. So it's ok." Robin was laughing at him now. "I didn't tell you because Raven would have killed me. Besides, we both know how you can be about certain topics. I didn't want you teasing us about it."

The room went silent for a while. The only sounds to be heard were coming from the Game Station. Then Suddenly Cyborg broke the silence again.

"Do you guys get rough? Or I bet it has to be missionary and slow, with no eye contact, and in the dark right?" Cyborg teased.

"Dude! What the hell? No."

"Don't get pissy B!" Robin joined in. Sighing with defeat Beast Boy gave in, "Well we get rough sometimes. Like last night when I claimed her, we were rough; I had to tap into the animal side to do that. Usually we're pretty sweet with it though. Yeah most of the time we do missionary but it's romantic not all weird and stuff like you said."

"Oh I see. That seems nice. The closest I ever got to sex was when I 'dated' Jinx back when I went undercover with the H.I.V.E. but that was just a handy."

"Oh right I forgot you made that skin thing."

"Why are you and Star waiting for marriage?"

"Well it's just something that I thought was right. Growing up with Bruce and all his women made me want to be the opposite of that. Besides, I'd rather have it my way than the custom of Tameran. Star told me her people only have sex to make offspring."

"Oh. Dude that is messed up!"

"Tell me about it."
