Ok, as a favor to teentitangirl25, I'm adding the next chapter! Here's Monday, also known as…Pajama Day! Woot!
Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans. *wipes away tear*.
Monday:
All was quiet in Titans Tower; the sun was shining, birds were chirping, and a cartoon rainbow could be seen over Jump City. The sun smiled down on the T shaped house as the earliest risers awakened to such a fine day.
Raven stretched in her bed, and rubbed sleep out of her eyes. With a sigh, she wondered what this day would bring. Then, she remembered exactly what day it was. It was Pajama Day for the Titans, which meant Humiliation Day for her. She was not going to leave her room in just her leotard, no matter how much Beast Boy wanted this day to be fun. It simply wouldn't happen. Then she remembered her promise to herself from yesterday; the promise where she would find out exactly why he was dating her. If she was gonna find out, she had to stay on his good side. This meant she had to participate in this ludicrous week. With a sigh, she looked to her closet which contained leotards and cloaks. At least, that's what everyone thought. She got up and slowly walked towards her closet, and rummaged through a hidden dresser that was located in a corner of the space. It was her emergency dresser that contained clothes other than her normal attire. Finally locating the clothing she was searching for, she held them up, and sighed again.
"This is going to be a long week," she thought.
Meanwhile, the tower's other earliest riser was picking through his closet as well. Pajama Day? What had he gotten himself into! With a sigh, Robin remembered Starfire's gleaming eyes, her pleading smile, her melodic voice begging him to join in the 'Week of Spirit". Yupp. He was whipped. Groaning, he picked out the clothes he was most comfortable wearing on such a day. He would not walk out in his normal pajamas, seeing as he wore nothing but his boxers to bed. Trying to stop his blush from the thought of walking out in those, he looked at his outfit and groaned again.
"This is going to be a long week," he thought.
Beast Boy was already in the kitchen, frying his tofu eggs and whistling a happy tune. This week was going to be the funnest, bestest, awesomest, hilarious…est week ever! With a large grin, he moved the now cooked eggs to a plate, poured himself a glass of orange juice, and placed his breakfast on the table. He turned around to put the juice container back in the fridge, and just as he was about to sit down, he heard the doors to the living room whoosh open. Beast Boy turned and his jaw nearly hit the floor at the person standing in the doorway. There, stood Raven, wearing pajamas he thought he never would have seen on her in his lifetime. She was wearing purple and black plaid pajama shorts, and a black spaghetti strap tank top. Her shorts showed off her long, toned legs, and the tank top hugged her curvy figure. It modest compared to what some girls wore to bed, but still. It was not what Beast Boy had expected. He snapped his mouth closed before he could start drooling all over the floor.
"H-hey Rae!" he smiled. She rolled her eyes at his reaction to her outfit, and did her best to stop the heat from rising to her cheeks. Without her hood, she was more exposed than she liked.
"Good morning Beast Boy," she walked down to the kitchen, noticing his attire. He was wearing light blue pajama pants with bright yellow rubber ducks decorating them. His shirt was a white t-shirt with the words "MEAT REEKS" written in green lettering. It was so Beast Boy. "Nice pajamas," she nodded at him. He sat at the table, and began to eat his eggs in large, certainly un-safe bites.
"Ma a'ya," he mumbled thought a mouthful of tofu. Obviously, she had tried to pay her a compliment by saying 'back at ya'. She frowned in disgust and turned to the counter to make her tea. Beast Boy slowed his eating as he watched her daily routine. He could predict exactly what she did every morning when she prepared her tea. First, she took out the blue kettle that was stored underneath the sink in a cabinet. Then, she poured water in it and set it on a burner, turning up the heat to boil it. As she waited for the water to boil, she turned to an overhead cabinet where her tea was waiting for her. Carefully, she took out a package of herbal tea from its box. Then, she took out a mug from the same cabinet, and set it on the counter. By that time, the kettle began to whistle, informing her that the water was boiling. Raven delicately picked up the kettle and poured the steaming water into her mug until it was about 3/4 full. She then placed the kettle on an unused burner, turned off the heat, and turned her attention back towards her mug. She ripped the packaging open that held her tea bag, carefully took it out, and dipped it in to hot water 4 times before allowing it to sit. As she waited, she threw out the tea package, and opened the drawer containing the utensils. She took out a spoon, and stirred her tea. Once it was stirred to her liking, she removed the tea bag, and before throwing it out, she squeezed it against the spoon with her index finger and extracted the rest of her tea from it. Finally, she put her spoon in the sink, turned to face the green teen sitting at the table, and took a small sip of her tea. That's when she noticed he had been watching her the whole time.
"What?" she asked, a bit annoyed. He looked back down at his food.
"Well," he started before downing his orange juice, "I have your tea routine down. You're becoming predictable Rae," he teased as he put his dirty dished in the sink.
"Oh really," she droned. Raven turned away from him to head towards the couch, but a pair of green arms snaked around her waist before she could. Beast Boy's mouth was next to her ear, and his breath on her neck made her shiver.
"I like it," he whispered. She took a sip of her tea, and struggled to keep her emotions in check, who were currently running amuck in her mind. His warm breath continued to tickle her neck, and she felt his arms tighten around her stomach. This is the position Cyborg found the two in when he walked into the living room.
"GOOD MORNING Y'ALL!" he shouted, causing the couple to jump a mile apart, Raven's tea nearly spilling over in its cup. Her cheeks were tinged pink, and Beast Boy was sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck. He turned to the metal man and frowned.
"Dude, where are you pjs?" he asked. Cyborg just shrugged.
"I don't have pajamas man. I sleep in the nuuude," he wiggled his eyebrows. Beast Boy gagged but recovered quickly.
"Well ya gotta do something dude. It is pajama day after all," Beast Boy whined. Cyborg let out a mighty sigh, and turned back to the doors, mumbling. Beast Boy turned back to Raven, who had silently made her way to the couch and was sitting down, taking careful sips of her tea. "I'm so lucky," he thought before walking to the couch to sit next to his girlfriend. Not long after he sat down, the doors whooshed open again, and he turned to see who it was. Robin was briskly walking to the kitchen to put on a pot of coffee, wearing a pair of black sweat pants and a white t-shirt. "Dude, you're pajamas are boring," he complimented the spikey haired teen. Robin just ignored him, and continued making his coffee. Then the doors whooshed open for the fifth time that morning, revealing a floating Starfire. She was wearing a light pink, silk night gown that cut off a little bit above her knees. It was spaghetti strapped, and her feet donned a pair of matching, light pink slippers. She threw her arms up in celebration.
"Happy Day of Pajamas friends!" she cried, smiling large enough to rival the Cheshire cat. "You all look wondrous in your nighttime garments!" she clapped her hands. Robin looked at his girlfriend with wide eyes, coughing as he saw her pajamas. Starfire floated down to him and linked her arm with his. "Good morning Boyfriend Robin," she smiled. "How are you on this first day of the Week of Spirit?"
"Uh, I, I'm good Star," he smiled weakly. "You, you look, great," he complimented. She blushed.
"Why thank you Robin! You also look nice," she said. "But, where is Friend Cyborg?" she tilted her head. As if on cue, the large man appeared in the doorway.
"Right here Star!" he boomed. "And, I'm wearing my pajamas." He gave a thumbs up. Beast Boy looked back at him over his shoulder.
"Dude, you're not wearing pajamas," he stated. And he was correct. Cyborg was not wearing anything that resembled pajamas, in fact, he still wasn't wearing anything. Cyborg held up a finger and wagged it in a scolding manor.
"Ah ah ah, don't count your chickens before they hatch Green Bean," he said. Beast Boy morphed into a chicken, squawked, then changed back. "I am indeed wearing pajamas." He pointed his fingers to his feet, where everyone looked. There on his large, metal feet, was a pair of bright green, super fuzzy slippers. He wiggled his 'toes' causing a few feathers to fly into the air. Silence. And then…
"Dude I have to give you props for that one!" Beast Boy laughed, clapping for his quick thinking friend. Robin also laughed and reached out to give Cyborg a high five. Raven looked at Cyborg and shook her head.
"Azar knows where you got those Cyborg," she said.
"Actually, I stole them from BB's room," he smiled at the gawking green boy.
"DUDE! NOT COOL!" he pouted.
"I would've taken your other ones, but they weren't there. I assumed you were wearing them," he shrugged. Raven looked down at Beast Boy's feet, and snorted. Of course. He was wearing a pair of even fuzzier duck slippers. Beast Boy stood up in protest, and stomped a foot, causing the duck on said foot to, yes, quack. Starfire erupted in a fit of giggles and Cyborg roared in laughter as Robin and Raven both face palmed themselves. At that moment, the alarm went off, and the room was bathed in the red light they all knew so well. Robin was already at the computer, typing away furiously.
"It's Control Freak. He's at the electronic store downtown. Titans, G-"
"HOLD UP YO!" Cyborg shouted. "You expect us to go out there like this?" he asked, sweeping a hand around the room.
"As if Cy, you're barley even dressed up!" Beast Boy pointed an accusing finger.
"We don't have time to change," Robin said grimly. "Let's go."
(TT)
"And I, CONTROL FREAK, will rule everything electronic, and no one can-" the overweight man stopped at the sight before him. He blinked a few times, and then burst out laughing. In front of him was the Teen Titans, although it looked as if they had decided not to get dressed for the day. Many of the bystanders had also begun to laugh at the hero's attire. There were a few cat calls and guys yelling things such as
"Hey is that Raven?"
"Lookin good Rae!"
"You should lose the cape more often!"
If Raven heard any of these comments, she showed no sign of it. Everyone knew Starfire was with Robin, so no man would tempt that fire. Beast Boy's ears grew hot at their snide remarks, and it took every ounce of his strength to not punch one of them in the face. Control Freak's laughter brought him back to the fight at hand.
"Well hello there Teen Snoozers!" he cackled. Beast Boy lifted an eyebrow.
"Dude, that's not even a good insult," he said. Control Freak frowned.
"Tell that to my minions!" he cried as he pushed a button on his remote. Suddenly, the TVs on either side of the titans began to tremble, and their wires became long, waving, electrical tendrils. On their screens were evil faces, and they stood menacingly over the teens.
"Titans, GO!" Robin cried. He jumped to the nearest monster and retracted his bow staff, hitting it squarely in the…screen. It cracked and fell, leaving Robin to jump to a new victim. Cyborg's arm turned into his canon, and he blasted the first TV he saw, leaving a gaping hole in the middle of its screen
"Boo-yah!" he cried before two tendrils wrapped around him and electrocuted him. He fell to the ground, electricity sparking off him. "Ok, now it's ON!" he blasted the TV that had just shocked him, and continued on to any poor monsters in his path. Starfire flew above the fray, searching for Control Freak. When she found him hiding behind the candy counter, she threw a few star bolts at him, causing him to scream like a little girl. He pressed a button and a few radios in the isle over turned into his minions, and grabbed her with long wires. As Starfire struggled with the newly formed radio monsters, Beast Boy was attempting to take down a particularly nasty TV. He was in his tiger form, pouncing at the monster who easily swatted him away with its tendrils. He was growing frustrated, so he turned into a hummingbird to get a closer range. Unfortunately, the TV was smart enough to wrap a skinny wire around the little bird, and shock its small body. Beast Boy morphed back into himself and lay on the ground, his hair smoking. Raven had just defeated a radio holding Starfire, and saw Beast Boy go down. With a small gasp, she hurried down to his still figure.
"Beast Boy!" she picked up his head and laid it in her lap. "Beast Boy, no tricks" she growled. After a few moments, he groaned, and slowly opened his eyes.
"Owww…" he moaned. Then he sniffed. "What smells like burning dirty laundry?"
"You," she helped him stand up, silently relieved he was ok. "Are you…ok?" she asked. He smiled.
"Never better," he kissed her cheek, and then jumped back into the fight. Raven stood there, holding the cheek his lips had touched, and let out a breath.
"Stupid green airhead…" she muttered before heading to help Cyborg in restraining Control Freak. He was arrested after Raven had successfully gotten his remote away from him. Once he was put in the cop car, and after many snickers from the officers, the titans began to head home. As Starfire lifted Robin by his arms to fly him home, and Cyborg sped off in the T-Car, Beast Boy and Raven were left at the store. Beast Boy made to take Raven's hand, but suddenly, a wall of boys was formed between him and his girlfriend.
"Hey there Raven," a tall, dark and handsome teen said, closing in on the Goth girl. "Nice moves in there," He smiled charmingly. Raven just stood there, unfazed. He took a step closer and put a hand on her arm. "So, I was wondering if you wanted to get a bite to eat or something," he stepped even closer, completely obliterating any personal bubble Raven had. Beast Boy's fists clenched in fury, and before Raven could send the teen to another dimension, Beast Boy was tapping him on the shoulder.
"Excuse me," he growled. The teen turned around and gave Beast Boy a look of annoyance.
"Look man, I called dibs-" but his protest was cut off by Beast Boy's fist in his mouth. Raven gaped at what Beast Boy had just done as the offensive teen crumpled to the ground holding his jaw.
"Lay off my girlfriend," Beast Boy scowled. He gently took Raven's hand and pulled her away from the remaining boys. He was walking quickly, practically dragging her behind him. After a few blocks, Raven dug her heels into the ground, causing them to jerk to a halt.
"Beast Boy," she said calmly. He stopped; shoulders hunched, and turned to her.
"I'm sorry Rae, I kinda, got a little, out of hand back there," he said miserably. "But the way he was looking at you, it was like he was looking at an item, not a person," he clenched his fist that wasn't being held by Raven. "It just, made me, I dunno, protective." He looked at her. She allowed a ghostly smile to appear on her lips, and his smile doubled.
"Thank you Beast Boy," she whispered.
"Anytime Rae. I'd do anything for you," he said honestly. She looked at him wide-eyed, and then did something she only did on rare occasions. She threw her arms forward and hugged him tightly. He hugged her back and nestled his face in her lavender hair. All too soon, she pulled away and allowed him to see the last of her small smile, before returning to her usual expression.
"Why Beast Boy?" she asked quietly. The question threw him off guard.
"Well, I uh, I love you Raven," he answered just as quietly.
"But why?" she asked more forcefully. He smiled.
"Remember when you made sure I was ok after I was electrocuted today?" he asked.
"Yes Beast Boy, seeing as that was only 20 minutes ago," she rolled her eyes.
"Well, that's why I love you. I love being able to make you show your compassionate side when you don't want to," he smiled. "I love that I'm the one you worry about."
"I worry about your sanity Beast Boy," she drawled. His smile flickered. She mentally cursed herself, and intertwined her hand in his. This made his ears perk back up again, the gesture telling him she really did care about him. "Is that the only reason why you love me?"
"Oh no Rae," he shook his head. "There are many many other reasons," he began walking again, Raven by his side.
"Such as…?" she prompted. He just shook his head.
"I'll tell you each one as the time comes," he smiled playfully. Raven sighed softly in defeat, but was happy all the same. She was one step closer to finding out the truth. Together, Raven and Beast Boy walked back home hand in hand, slightly singed duck slippers quacking pathetically the whole way.
