Ordinary Life- Part 7
Rating: M
Pairing: Raven/Jinx
A/N: In this chapter, we're going to see some of Raven and Nikolas' up bringing. Or more accurately, what the Monks made them do for their own amusement. I decided to pick 'The time of my life' from Dirty Dancing (I loved this movie as a kid, and it was where I heard the song from.) I will be typing out the lyrics, and since I can't write very good fight and dance scenes, I would suggest you pull up the video. They will be dancing just like that (Without the jumping off the stage part), as well as singing along with the lyrics. The reason why I suggest this, is because I will be writing from Jinx's perspective, as she watches them dancing. Oh, and there will probably be other songs in this story as well, I will give disclaimers for them as I bring them into the story.
Sorry for the very long A/N...
Don't own anything related to Teen Titans, Dirty Dancing, and 'The time of my Life'. Pointless to sue, don't got money.
Enjoy!
Raven pulled into a parking space near the front doors of Nevermore. Blas and Tyler were at the door, playing rock, paper, scissors to see who would be door man tonight.
"Boys?" She asked, standing next to them,
"Yes, Ms. Roth?"
"Why don't you just go back and forth each night?" She asked next, watching as Tyler lost a round.
The two grown men paused and looked at each other, before turning to their boss, "It's not as fun." They stated together, going back to their game.
Raven shook her head, "Boys and their games." She muttered, walking into the building. She didn't see Nik around the room, and figured that he was still up stairs getting ready. She set her keys in the safe in the storage room, before grabbing the clipboard and going through inventory. About an hour later, Nikolas appeared looking disheveled, and slightly flushed.
"Nik, is there something I should know?" Raven asked, not even looking up from her clipboard. She had felt the happy and giddy feeling coming off the man she had known her whole life.
"No nim, But hopefully there will be soon!" Nikolas said happily, smiling brightly, "I thought we could dance tonight... What do you say?" He asked, taking a seat next to the half-breed.
"What movie did you watch?" Raven asked,
"I saw Dirty Dancing on the TV last night. I loved the ending scene..."
Raven frowned, closing her eyes, Dirty Dancing... Dirty Dancing... Oh, yes, Kori and Terra had me watch that a year ago... She thought, trying to remember all the moves from the movie. She turned to Nikolas, "Would you hate me if I let Happy out to play? Maybe with a shot of Knowledge and Lust? They're the only ones who know the moves all the way."
"Let them out, and if that sweet darling you've been flirting with is here, let them have some time with her. Maybe you should have her dance with you."
Raven sighed, "We are not flirting."
"Right, and I don't feel the angry glares pointed at the back of my head every night she's here." Nikolas responded,
"She's only been here three nights, maybe." Raven responded, confused,
"And your point is?" Nikolas asked,
"I hate you." The demoness snarked, looking up at her friend, "And I better be meeting that hunk of man you picked up, soon." She added, smirking at the taller man for a moment more before turning back to the clipboard.
The two of them worked for the next thirty minutes before going back out into the bar area and setting up for the night. Nikolas talked to the DJ, who was willing to play 'The time of my life' at their Que. The club slowly filled up, and Jinx came in at about eight, which is when Nikolas nodded to the DJ, silently telling him that they were ready,
"Alright guys," The DJ said when the song he was playing came to an end, "I was asked to play a song by the owners, who wish to dance to it, so could everyone move back and make a circle?"
The crowd did as asked, all of their curiosity peaked with the knowledge that they'd get to see the owners dancing together.
"Alright now. Rachel, Nikolas, if you would?" The DJ asked.
Nikolas moved to the center of the dance floor, watching as Raven stood pouting at him, "Oh, come on nim, You said you would."
"And you said you would tell me before hand Nik." She commented, pouting still.
"Come on Rachel." Nikolas said, "Rachel, Rachel, Rachel-" He said, chanting her name over and over again, soon the whole bar was chanting with him and he smirked when she walked over with a huff.
"Fine, Nikolas. You win." She said, stepping into his awaiting arms. They got into the right position, and Raven let her emotions take over, knowing that they would do it right.
Jinx sat at the bar, across the room, watching the scene with wide eyes. She saw as Raven stepped into Nikolas' arms and took a deep breath. The music started, and they slowly started twirling around the area that was given to them
Nikolas: Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
Raven: 'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I owe it all to you
Jinx felt her jaw drop at the sound of Raven's voice, singing the song. The music was up at a good volume, but the lyrics were brought down, so that everyone could hear the two of them singing along with the song. The bar had fallen silent, and Jinx could swear her heart was beating a mile a minute as she watched the two. They were twirling and moving as if they had done this their whole lives.
Nikolas: I've been waiting for so long
Now I finally found someone
To stand by me
Raven: We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical fantasy
Jinx felt the jealousy course through her as she watched, That asshole is dancing with her! He's suppose to be gay, Dammit! She thought, though she didn't try and Analise why she was so angry at him. She kept watching, muttering to herself that she was going to have Raven teach her how to dance. She wasn't going to let them dance together again, not if she wanted to stay sane.
Both: Now with passion in our eyes
There's no way we could disguise it secretly
So we take each others hand
'Cause we seem to understand the Urgency
Nikolas: Just remember
Raven: You're the one thing
Nikolas: I can't get enough of
Raven: So I'll tell you something
Both: This could be love because
I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I've searched through every open door
'Til I found the truth
And I owe it all to you
Jinx felt her heart stop for a split second when she heard the word love, Please let this just be the song, and not how they really feel... Please... I know I heard Raven say something about a girlfriend. Or, well, at least her being into women... She was paying too much attention to the two people dancing to notice how desperate her thoughts were. If she was in her right mind, she would probably be balking at how jealous and scared she sounded; even if it was in her mind.
Raven: With my body and Soul
I want you more than you'll ever know
Nikolas: So we'll just let it go
Don't be afraid to lose control
Raven: Yes I know whats on your mind
When you say:
"Stay with me tonight."
Nikolas: Just remember
You're the one thing
Raven: I can't get enough of
Nikolas: So I'll tell you something
Both: This could be love because
'Cause I had the time of my life
No I've never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I've searched through every open door
Till I found the truth
And I ow it all to you
There was a slight break in the lyrics at this point, and Jinx was doing all she could not to march over and rip the two of them apart. Her heart was screaming out that she do it, while her mind said that it would ruin the dance; and though it was annoying to see, she wanted to know how this all would end. So, while mind and heart waged a war over what she should do, Jinx sat and watched, determined to get Raven alone after the song was over. She wasn't going to let the 'supposed' gay man take the dark Titan away from her...
Nikolas: Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
(Raven: Never felt this way)
Nikolas: Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
Both: 'Cause I had the time of my life
And I've searched through every open door
Till I've found the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had the time of my life
No I've never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
Jinx stood up the moment the song was over, watching as they pulled apart. The crowd was going wild, shouting out 'encore' over and over again. Nikolas shook his head, smiling at everyone.
"Go to your girl, Nim." He whispered to Raven, "I'll handle the bar for a while. Take her up stairs if you have too, but I swear, if she doesn't stop glaring at me, I'm going to conjure her into another realm." He muttered at the end, heading towards the bar.
Raven nodded, feeling how her emotions retreated slightly to let her have control of her movements. The dance had gone well, and it had been a surprise when Nikolas had started singing along with the lyrics. She wasn't going to be out done, and Lust had been quick to sing the song, with Knowledge's help. She could feel the different emotions of the patrons as they danced, their shock and surprise, and even some of their lust. She had tuned them out as best she could, paying as much attention as she could to Jinx' emotions only. She only felt anger and jealousy, and had to wonder where it was coming from, and who it was aimed at. If Nikolas was right, the emotions were at him, but she wasn't sure why; it wasn't like they were dating. Jinx knew that, Raven had told her that Nik was gay, and she had even mentioned that she batted for the same team.
With a deep sigh, Raven made her way over to Jinx, resolving that she would figure things out soon.
A/N: I know that the song took up most of this chapter, but don't worry, I'm going to make up for it. If this is ordinary life, then there has to be a bit of drama, no?
Hope you enjoyed! ^^
