Finally, Raven thought, a normal day. She sighed as she slowly got out of bed, her back screaming as she stretched it out. Stupid Beast Boy, saving my life, throwing me on the ground…
"Raven! Hurry up!" the green teen's voice chimed through her door. Speak of the devil…
"I'm on my way out Beast Boy," she called, wincing at the pounding in her head.
"You ok Rae? You sound weird," he asked, and she could sense his worry.
"Just a headache Beast Boy," she said, wincing again at the pang she felt when she raised her voice. Raven pulled out her outfit, and quickly changed, trying to force the throbbing in her head to minimize to a dull roar. Her door 'swooshed' open, revealing Beast Boy in a pair of jean shorts that went past his knees, a purple tee-shirt with black sleeves, and black chucks. "You look casual." She lifted an eyebrow.
"As do you," he grinned, taking in her outfit. A pair of dark blue boot-cut jeans with a black tank top, and a purple sweatshirt on top consisted of her outfit for the day. She was also wearing black chucks, but hers were high-rise. "Shall we?" he held out his hand, which she took delicately. They made their way to the living room, where the only person already inhibiting it was Starfire.
"Good morning friends!" she cried happily. Raven put her free hand to her head at the loud greeting, closing her eyes as the pounding of African drums grew louder.
"Morning Star," Beast Boy answered, his eyes trained on Raven though.
"Raven, are you feeling ill?" Starfire asked, floating over to her friend. She was wearing a denim skirt, a white tee-shirt that cut off around her midriff, and pink ballet flats.
"No, just a headache Star," Raven forced through clenched teeth. A herd elephants had joined the drum line and had decided to start a stampede in her head. Lovely.
"Maybe you should sit down Rae," Beast Boy said quietly, leading her to the couch. She didn't protest, which surprised him. She would not normally allow him to treat her like a child. Raven slowly sank onto the couch, and curled up in a ball. The door 'whooshed' open again, and Cyborg sauntered out wearing a pair of light blue jeans and a gray sweatshirt.
"SUP Y'ALL!" he bellowed, causing Raven to moan on the couch. Beast Boy jumped at the sudden noise, and had his hand clamped over Cyborg's mouth faster than Kid Flash could have gotten there.
"Dude! Shut up!" he hissed in a whisper.
"Mmmfffmmf," Cyborg tried to say behind Beast Boy's hand.
"Raven has a really bad headache. I think she's getting sick," Beast Boy glanced back at Raven, who had her eyes closed and was in obvious pain. She never showed her emotions. THIS WAS AN EMERGENCY! A wet sensation on Beast Boy's hand sent shivers down his spine, and he released the hand clamped over Cyborg's mouth, only to find it covered in saliva. "Ewwwww!" he whined, careful to keep his voice low. "That's nasty Cy!"
"That's life," Cyborg grinned. Beast Boy wiped his hand on his shorts, and then made his way to the kitchen to make Raven some tea. Tea would make her feel better. He got out the blue kettle, and copied the steps he had seen her do millions of times before.
"Beast Boy," said girl piped up from the couch.
"Ya Rae?" he answered.
"What are you doing?"
"Making you tea."
"…Why?"
"Cuz. You're sick."
"…Thanks." Beast Boy nearly dropped the cup of tea in his surprise. Why? Well A) Raven didn't protest to being sick. B) She didn't protest to Beast Boy making her tea. And C) She said 'thanks' without any kind of witty or sarcastic comment. THIS WAS A CODE RED EMERGENCY! Just as the thought crossed his mind, a loud beeping commenced and the room was bathed in red light. Raven clamped a hand to her head and clenched her teeth in agony. This was not happening. Robin burst into the room, wearing a pair of black jeans and a white tee-shirt.
"TITANS, G-" he started, until a tendril of black energy slapped across his mouth. Several black sparks were emitted from their alert system, causing it to fade out, leaving the room in its normal lighting.
"Shut. Up." Raven hissed quietly to the Boy Wonder, eyes glowing white. His own eyes widened as he nodded slowly, allowing the tendril to snake away from him.
"Let's go guys," he croaked. Starfire quickly zoomed out the door, while Cyborg tiptoed after her. Beast Boy made no motion to move however, nor did Raven.
"I'm staying here with her," Beast Boy said bluntly. Robin raised an eyebrow, and opened his mouth to speak.
"What if we need-"
"You'll be fine," Beast Boy said quietly, handing a stunned Raven her tea, "I'm staying."
"Beast Boy, as the leader, I'm saying you need to come help us," Robin got into his oh-so-manly 'do what I say or I'll throw a fit' stance.
"Robin, as Raven's boyfriend, I'm saying she needs me," Beast Boy avoided his eyes. Raven made an indignant noise.
"She's perfectly fine without you Beast Boy," Robin countered. Beast Boy got up to confront the spikey haired teen, but a cold hand captured his wrist. He looked down to see Raven glaring at Robin.
"He's staying," she said quietly. Robin's mouth nearly dropped.
"But-"
"He's. Staying. I, unfortunately, am in need of someone to help me at the moment. I can't stand without feeling as though I'm about to pass out," Raven admitted grudgingly. "Aren't you needed somewhere Bird Brain?" Robin frowned at the insult, but turned and stalked away nonetheless. Raven sighed and sat back on the couch, closing her eyes in the process.
"Wow," Beast Boy said. Raven refused to open her eyes.
"What."
"You just told off Robin," he said in awe.
"I'm the only person allowed to. Besides Starfire. And occasionally Cyborg," Raven tried to shrug, but the effort was wasted. She had no energy to do anything.
"So…I'm not allowed to tell off Robin?" Beast Boy pouted. Raven opened one eye.
"Beast Boy," she fought the urge to roll the one eye, "you just did." There was silence, until Beast Boy let out a loud 'whoop'! Raven hissed, "Beast Boy!"
"Sorry Rae," he said, not sounding sorry at all, "But I just told off our leader. I feel so empowered!" he bounced a little on the couch, causing Raven to focus on not spilling her piping hot tea all over herself.
"Hush Beast Boy," she snapped, wincing at the sharp pain in her head. "Let me relax."
"Right, sorry Rae," he said again, still not sounding sorry. It was quiet for all of 30 seconds, before Beast Boy let out a quiet huff. Raven chose to ignore it, instead sipping on her tea. Beast Boy had done a good job on it. Not that she would tell him. Another 30 seconds later, he let out another huff. Then again, another 30 seconds later.
"What, Beast Boy?" she said warily.
"I'm boooooored," he whined. Raven suppressed a snort.
"You're the one who wanted to stay with me," she reminded him. He looked over at her, green eyes shining.
"We should play a board game!" he whispered excitedly.
"No."
"But Rae," Beast Boy continued, not deterred by her immediate rejection, "It'll be fun!"
"No," she repeated, "I'm going to sleep." She set her empty cup on the table, and curled up on the couch. Unfortunately, it was not a very comfortable couch. After much adjusting, Raven gave up on trying to find a position that she could sleep in, and sat up irritably, clutching her spinning head in the process.
"Having trouble there?" Beast Boy fought a smile. She glared at him, and looked around for a pillow, or something to put her head on. "Here," Beast Boy scooted over to her, patting his stomach as he slouched on the couch. "I'll be your pillow."
"Beast Boy-"
"Come on Raven," he looked at her expectantly. After a minute of her contemplating whether or not to lose some of her dignity by sleeping on him, she sighed, and rested her head on his flat stomach. "There ya go," he said, obviously beaming.
"Shut it Beast Boy," she growled, snuggling closer to him. His arm wrapped around her waist, keeping her safe from falling of the couch.
"You must be sick Rae, your powers would have been going crazy by now," Beast Boy joked.
"When I'm sick I have no energy Beast Boy, so I don't have my powers at the moment," she said sleepily.
"But you stopped the alarm system," he noted.
"On a burst of power, yes," she explained. "Now shut up. Pillows don't talk." Beast Boy smiled happily.
"I love that I'm your pillow Rae," he whispered, using his free hand to stroke her hair. Before Raven slipped into unconsciousness, she smiled. He was her pillow.
God, she was turning into such a softie.
(TT)
"Do you think Friend Raven is feeling better?" Starfire whispered as she, Robin and Cyborg quietly made their way towards the living room.
"I hope so," Cyborg shivered, "Sick Raven is a scary Raven."
"Let's find out," Robin stepped forward, causing the door to 'whoosh' open. The sight caused Starfire to let out a quiet squeal, Robin to shake his head (although smiling), and Cyborg to hold back a roar of laughter. There, on the couch, was Raven using Beast Boy as a pillow, and Beast Boy with his head lolled back on the couch, tongue sticking out, drool coming out of one side of his mouth.
"They are much too adorable!" Starfire silently clapped her hands. Robin just nodded, backing away from the living room quietly. Surprisingly though, Cyborg softly (as soft as a large metal man can anyways) made his way towards the couple.
"Cy, what are you doing?" Robin panicked slightly. Cyborg grinned largely.
"Rules of Sleeping: If you fall asleep with your shoes on inside, you are liable to any type of torture while you're sleeping," he snickered, protruding a black Sharpie out of one of his various compartments. Robin noted the black chucks Beast Boy was currently wearing.
"Cyborg, I fear that Raven will do most horrid things to you if you vandalize her face with that permanent marker," Starfire said timidly.
"I know that," Cyborg waved a hand, "I'm goin' for the string bean," he cast an evil smile in Beast Boy's direction before tiptoeing to the sleeping teen.
"This isn't going to end well I fear…" Starfire looked at Robin with wide eyes.
"I agree Star, let's get out of here before things go wrong," Robin looked at her before extending his hand to his girlfriend. She took it, and the pair made their way…somewhere else. As they departed, neither heard Cyborg's psychotic rambling as he drew on Beast Boy's face.
"A moustache here…a note there…ahh that's nice…hee hee…Beastie Boy's in for a biiiiig surprise…" his eyes glinted maniacally as he put the finishing touches on his master piece. "See you when you wake up…"
(TT)
"AHHHHHHHHHHGH!" a loud bellow sounded through the tower, causing Starfire to 'eep', Robin to shake his head, and Cyborg to collapse in hystarics. Raven, who had been sleeping on his lap still, shot a foot into the air, letting out a loud scream as she did so. This in turn caused the table in front of the couch to go flying up into the ceiling on a burst of dark magic.
"BEAST BOY! WHAT THE HELL?" she yelled, her anger blocking out the pain in her head. The green teen was staring at himself in a mirror that had been placed right in front of him, eyes on fire.
"THAT DAMN ROBOT!" he roared. Raven blinked a few times before finally noticing his…predicament. Someone (Cyborg) had taken a Sharpie to Beast Boy's face. He was now donning a handlebar mustache, a goatee, a note on his forehead that said 'veggies suck', cat whiskers, and raccoon eyes. It was…hilarious. Raven let out a small giggle, which turned into a chuckle, which turned into a fit of quiet laughter. What the…I'm laughing? I don't laugh! I must be really sick…although his face is quite funny…but I don't laugh! Pull it together Raven. God this is embarrassing.
Beast Boy stared at his girlfriend, who was currently laughing at his face. Laughing. Raven was laughing.
…
What the hell?
"Uh, Raven?" he asked tentatively. She looked up at him, suppressing another giggle.
"Yes Beast Boy?" she answered, surprisingly in monotone.
"You're…laughing." he states. She stopped abruptly.
"I'm sick Beast Boy, my mind isn't quite right at the moment," she said, praying he'd believe her.
"Obviously," he grinned. She glared at him. Suddenly the doors 'whooshed' open, and there stood Cyborg, beaming at his brilliant work.
"That's a great look on you BB," he choked out, eyes watering from laughing so hard.
"I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" Beast Boy jumped from the couch and charged towards the metal man, who sprinted back towards the door, still laughing.
"Look! Even as an angry lion he still has a moustache!" he cried, his laughter echoing down the hallways. Raven sighed, cursing herself for showing all that emotion. Laughing? Really Raven?
"Stupid Beast Boy…" she mumbled, rolling her eyes. He was definitely affecting her; she was smiling more, laughing more, rarely blew up at anyone anymore, and she had much better control of her powers. He was changing her…but did she like it? With another sigh, Raven settled back into the couch, cursing her throbbing head. As she sat there, she realized she missed her pillow. This is turning into a problem…
OK I KNOW RAVEN IS WAYYYYY OOC IN THIS CHAPTER! SO DON'T TELL ME THAT!
Ahhhh guys this chapter sucked. And it's really short. I'm sorry, this is no way for me to apologize for my long absence! But the whole reason for Raven being sick is that I'm sick and my head's all fogged up and I can't think straight and ahhhhh I'm sorry…next chapter will be better, I promise. Or maybe I'll just tear this one down and put up a new one. Ok, vote for me;
If you want me to re-write it, review and tell me. If you think it's fine and like where it's going, review and tell me. If you're too lazy to vote, review anyways.
Again, sorry for the suckiness guys :/
