Chapter 10
I do not own Teen Titans… dammit
Kudos to you all!!! Chapter numba' 10! Huzzah!!!
Eh-hem, now that I have regained my composure, I tell you what won the votes on fun, fluff or fuck, and the winner is…
Fluff!
It'll be so sweet that you could just puke all over it, ya know Anyhow, I've been thinking… what would guys do if someone else dies? Heh- heh, the reactions will be beautiful… but, I don't think it would be good for the story line… so I'm still debating on that little problem. I wish you could put fan art on here… that would be awesome…
FYI- I made it so Azarath wasn't in ruins and a little surprise is waiting for her Raven there. You'll find out a little later
If I do the fluff thing wrong, I'm sorry. I'm not that good at writing sweet gag stuff.
2 days later…
A bright ray from the 2 o'clock light shone on Raven's, causing her to finally stir awake from her deep slumber. She blinked a couple times, trying to see through the blur in her eyes. She tried sitting up, but was pushed back down by a strong hand on her stomach.
"You need to rest, you're still healing."
As much as Raven wanted to protest, she laid back down and looked at the figure. Slowly her eyes began to focus, regaining their ability to difference colors and shapes. Soon, she realized the figure was Robin, sitting in a chair next to her medical bed.
"What happened," she asked rather hoarsely, her voice just above a whisper.
"Your powers almost killed you, but somehow you managed to pull through all of a sudden."
"My powers almost killed me?"
"Yeah. All of a sudden, you snapped and you started hurting yourself and eventually knocked yourself and…" he tapped on her chakra.
Raven raised a feeble hand and rubbed it against the small gem and cursed.
"Then you went mental."
"What?"
"We had to put you in a straight jacket and a padded room."
Her brow furrowed in confusion and frustration as she let this information sink in.
"I… I don't remember any of it."
"You were talking to yourself. Actually, you were talking to people who weren't there. Mainly Starfire and your mother."
Raven sunk down in her bed even lower, mad and embarrassed at herself for losing control like that. And mad because she would have to go back to Azarath and get her chakra fixed. Robin stood up.
"I hope you don't mind if you have visitors."
"Not at all."
Robin smiled then headed out the exit to get the others. He paused for a second once underneath the doorframe, and turned his face towards Raven.
"I'm glad… you're okay. I don't know what we would've done if we'd lost you too… I don't know what I would've done if I'd lost a good friend like you."
Raven didn't know what to say, so she simply nodded. Robin walked out the door, leaving Raven to try and recollect the past couple days events for a time.
Not even 5 minutes past by, and Cyborg and BeastBoy charged through the door, trying to be the first one to get to their beloved friend. BeastBoy jumped and vaulted over Cy's head, then Cy grabbed him by the shirt and threw him backwards. While BB was in midair, he turned into a squirrel. He attacked Cyborg who was now freaking out and screaming his head off.
Raven was watching the two with much amusement as Robin walked over and joined her.
"Want me to stop them?"
"No thanks. I haven't laughed this much in forever."
Cyborg had successful grabbed BeastBoy around the middle and was now squeezing the living daylights out of him. BeastBoy was squeaking his lil furry head off, until he made use of his teeth, and drove them into the metal man's hand. Cyborg dropped him.
"Ouch! You lil bastard! I'ma stomp on you now, better watch yo' self!"
And that's exactly what he did. Cyborg started trying to smash BeastBoy into the ground with his big clunking feet. Eventually, BeastBoy regained his senses and turned human again right before a foot landed on him. He caught the foot that was about to crush his chest and heaved it upwards causing Cyborg to fall flat on his back. As BeastBoy jumped over him, arms open for Raven's embrace, Cyborg grabbed his foot and he fell flat on his face.
"Game over man, I win as always," Cyborg said as he got up and sat next to Raven on her bed, giving her a heartfelt hug.
"How's my lil Rae-Rae feeling?" he cooed playfully.
"Cut it out Cyborg," she said as she hugged him back.
"Alright, enough love, now it's my turn," BeastBoy declared.
Cyborg stood up next to Robin to let BeastBoy have his turn at showing some lovin'. BeastBoy basically straddled her hips and gave her a hug worthy of Starfire.
"You know Rae, he would visit you everyday while you was… sick."
"He did?" she put her hands on his shoulders and held him at arms length. "You did?"
He nodded his head stupidly, his small fang poking out.
"Well, how long was I sick?"
"A month," Robin said.
"A month?!"
"A month," the boys said in chorus.
She looked back at BeastBoy.
"How bad was I?"
"Um… you were talking to no one, you would laugh out of the blue, you would rock back and forth with a weird look in your eyes, on occasion you would start hitting your head against the wall, a couple times you started screaming or laughing or a mix of both which was pretty scary, sometimes you would just sit in the corner and stare at… you would stare, you wouldn't eat hardly, and one time you kicked me against the wall. But don't worry, it didn't hurt. I was always a cat, and surprisingly they can take a pretty hard hit," he explained, his innocent smile never faltering.
Raven mouth had gone slack and she felt tears brimming her eyes. She looked to Cyborg and Robin for confirmation on whether this information was accurate. They nodded.
"We have it all on tape," Robin said. "We had to keep you under surveillance to make sure you were safe."
She turned back to BeastBoy and was taken aback to see he had tears streaming down his face, but still keeping up his smile.
"BeastBoy…"
"Just trying to be a good friend," his voice cracked. "We didn't want to lose you. We love you to damn much. We failed once, but we're not going to let it happen again."
Raven opened her mouth, but closed it again, feeling a fresh wave of remorse. She bowed her head, trying so hard to let them see her cry. She clenched her jaw and sucked the air through her teeth, but nevertheless the tears slowly started pouring down her cheeks.
"Great, now you made me fuckin' cry too," she whispered almost to herself.
She felt BeastBoy cup her chin and raise he face slowly up to his. Her eyes widened in surprise as he gently kissed her dry lips and pulled away, not yet letting go of her chin.
"I'm sorry. I swear, I'll never make you cry again," he said solemnly.
Even though the kiss wasn't overly passionate or sexual, Raven still claimed it was the best kiss she had ever had. Mainly because it meant so many things at once at that one time. I'm sure you can think of some of them, none very perverted I hope.
She looked at Robin and Cyborg who had lopsided grins on their faces.
"I think we'll leave you two alone."
"Yeah. Don't play to roughly, okay kids?" Cyborg laughed.
They turned and headed out the door, closing it behind them.
"Well, I didn't mean to make them leave," BeastBoy said almost sadly.
That was all it took to make Raven burst out with laughter.
Evening, about 5 o'clock…
"Raven, lay down! You're going to make me hurt you!"
"But I don't want to suck it this way, plus it tastes weird."
"I am deeply offended. I have tasted it, and it makes me want to drool."
"Well maybe it tastes weird cause you just had to suck on it before I did."
"Oh please. Dude, nothing can make this bad boy taste weird. Plus it's so big, I'm sure you could have another section if it really does taste that bad."
"Yeah, I guess it is huge."
"Thank you."
"Now give me the popsicle!" (Ha! You pervs! You thought it was a cock, didn't cha! Didn't cha!) Raven yelled as she reached for it again.
BeastBoy yanked it back.
"Only if you'll sit properly. You're still pretty weak."
Raven muttered a curse as she propped her back against the pillows.
"I'm fine. I want the popsicle and I want to go to my room and take a shower. So," she snatched the popsicle out of BeastBoy's grasp and got out of the bed. "I'm leaving now."
She stomped out the room, popsicle in hand, and walked to her room. She punched in the code and BeastBoy followed behind her, protesting the whole time. She turned on her heels, taking the icy delight out of her mouth with a 'pop' and said:
"Listen here grandma, I'm not staying in that room for another minute or I assure you I will go crazy again."
"But Ra-"
"And another… thing…"
She felt her vision get blurry and her balance falter. If BeastBoy wasn't there, she would've hit the ground. He gently laid her on the ground and rubbed her hand till she came again.
"See, I told you. You're still weak."
"I am not. I'm just… tired."
"Uh-huh… c'mon, I'll take you back to the room."
"No! I'm staying here, whether you like it or not."
She stood up and handed him the popsicle which he quickly discarded of in one bite.
"Now I'm going to take a shower, and then sleep in my bed in my room."
And with that, she turned on her heels and went into her room's bathroom. BeastBoy followed behind her.
"What now?" she said once in the bathroom.
"I-I want to help you…" he said, his cheeks turning red.
"What do you mean?"
"Um…" he pointed to her shower.
Raven brain clicked.
"Oh."
"Look, I swear I won't do anything. I just don't want you passing out and drowning in here."
Raven's cheeks turned red as she thought about this. Yeah, they've seen each other naked, and yeah, they've gotten intimate… but still…
"Uh… okay. But you have to promise you won't do anything rash."
He raised his hand to his brow in a salute, donning a mock-serious countenance. Raven closed the door and turned her back to BeastBoy. The boys had put her in a tank top and sweat pants which she started to shed off now. She raised the shirt over her head and threw it in a nearby corner, then let her pants drop to her ankles and step out of them so she was now in nothing but her undergarments.
BeastBoy could already feel himself getting hard, but he did everything he could to control himself. He made a promise after all.
Raven got a little more self-conscious as she started to unhook her bra. She glanced over at BeastBoy as she held it out and let it drop to the floor. BeastBoy gulped with anticipation, but held fast, as her underwear dropped to her ankles, revealing her tight ass.
Oh! How badly BeastBoy wanted to grope her!
She wrapped her arms around her supple breasts as she walked past BeastBoy into the shower and started the water, not caring that it was cold as ice for awhile. She peeked out the curtain and said:
"Well, are you coming in?"
BeastBoy closed his eyes and took in a deep breath, trying to calm himself. Raven watched with amusement in eyes as he took off his shirt and tossed it in the pile of clothes in the corner. He stripped down until he was only in his black boxers. He turned around and faced Raven, a blush creeping around his face. Raven raised an eyebrow.
"Well?"
"What?"
"The boxers."
"Oh… right."
BeastBoy lowered his boxers, revealing his hardened member. Raven's eyes lowered seductively.
"Nothing too rash, right?"
"Uh… right. Nothing rash," he said as he stepped into the shower.
Raven got a washcloth and started lathering the soap on herself.
"Wait," BeastBoy said as he took the washcloth away from her. "I'll do it."
He started lathering her shoulders and moved down slowly to her lower back. He could feel her shiver with pleasure as he went over her thighs. He came back up and put his hands over to her front, almost like hugging her from behind and started washing her collarbone. He jumped over her breasts for the time being and moved down to her stomach and hips.
When he finished scrubbing every inch of her, save for one, he re-lathered the cloth and brought his hands up to her chest and let them hover hesitantly. Raven lightly grabbed his hands and brought them down on her breasts.
"It's okay. I trust you won't do anything," she whispered.
'Wish I could say the same,' he thought.
He gently started massaging her breasts with the soap. After awhile, he could feel temptation slowly take over. He brought his mouth down to Raven's shoulder and gently bit into it. Somehow, it seemed to calm him down a bit.
Eventually, he stopped, and Raven turned around and gave him a tender kiss.
"Okay, turn around. It's your turn."
"But-"
"Turn around."
She reached over and grabbed the washcloth from him and started scrubbing his muscled back. She noticed his ears start to flatten against his skull
"What's the matter?"
"Concentrating."
"On what?"
"Something else besides this situation."
"Why? Am I doing a bad job?"
"No. That's the problem. I'm getting…"
"Excited?"
"Yea. And, I don't want us to do anything because you're not feeling so hot."
"Oh how sweet. A 17-year-old boy holding off his ranging hormones in the shower with his lover, all because she fell in the bedroom. Must be torture, huh?"
"Not helping Rae."
She smiled.
"Sorry. Do you want to get out now?"
"Yes please, before I do something I might regret… again."
"Okay. Come on big boy… but first…"
Raven stood on her tiptoes and raised her hands up, reaching over to BeastBoy's head.
"Raven, what are you do… oh… that feels… so good…" he slurred.
She had grabbed hold of his pointed ears and was now massaging them through her delicate fingers, rubbing them up and down. He started purring gently as he closed his eyes. She could practically feel him melt right there. Then she stopped suddenly and he shot his eyes open, his pupils contracted slightly. Raven stared at them in wonder as they returned to their normal size.
"That was kewl. I guess you are just a big cat, huh Garfield."
"Aw, shut up. I hate that name."
"Heh, I know," she said as she walked past the curtain and grabbed a towel.
BeastBoy stood and watched as Raven dried herself off, she turned around and raised an eyebrow.
"What?"
"Oh nothing. It's just your so beautiful. I never would've thought a girl like you would be interested in a guy like me," he said with a smug smile.
Raven blushed dramatically and started to stutter.
"Uh… w-what do you mean a… a girl like me?"
"You're intelligent, gorgeous, very funny, mysterious. And I'm… a stupid green freak. I can't even read at the average high school level," he said, his gaze lowering. "And I always screw up on missions. The only reason Robin's kept me is because he knows I have no where else to go…"
"BeastBoy, you know that stuff isn't true. You aren't stupid, half the kids in this country can't even spell 'sincerity', you don't suck at missions, remember when you told us about that fight with Slade you had at that carnival? Green happens to be a very big turn-on for me, and what super hero isn't a freak? Did you forget I was diagnosed with a mental disease not to long ago? Plus, I don't even know how to ride a bike. What kid doesn't know how to ride a fuckin bike?" she said rapidly.
BeastBoy grinned, trying not to laugh, as he grabbed a towel and wrapped it around himself.
"Are you lying about the bike thing?"
Raven chuckled as she opened up the bathroom door.
"No."
"That's sad Rae."
"Isn't it though?"
"Don't worry, I'll teach you."
"Alright, but on one condition."
"I'm listening."
"You gotta read to me tonight."
"But I'm not good at reading."
"Exactly."
BeastBoy slumped for a second, then perked up and ran to his room. As he was there, Raven took this time to change into her nightclothes (tank-top and satin pants… or was it silk?). BeastBoy came in with his nightclothes (tank-top and boxers) and raised a comic book in the air.
Raven put her hands on her hips and sighed. She walked over to her library and pulled out a purple colored book.
"Get in," she said gesturing to the bed.
BeastBoy did and Raven came in after him and made herself comfy in-between his legs and her back against his abdomen. She raised the book up and BeastBoy took it.
"Just read one chapter. I need to go to sleep soon."
"Why?"
"Cause I need to go back to Azarath and get my chakra fixed."
"Okay. So I just start reading now?"
"Yup."
BeastBoy wound his arms around Raven and cracked open the book.
"The storm came up out of the southwest like a fiend… s-stalking its prey on legs of lightning. The wind it brought with it was foul as the devil's own breath and it stirred up the peaceful waters of the sea. By the time the little red boat that the three women had chosen for their peri… perilous voyage had emerged from the shelter of the islands, and was out in the open waters, the waves were steep as cliffs, twenty-five, thirty feet tall-"
"BeastBoy."
"Hmm?"
"I love you."
He smiled softly.
"I know, Raven… I love you too."
'Kay glad that's over gags. If you didn't like the fluff, ya know? I'll try doing it on another chapter or something, just tell me.
Wanna know something stupid Bush said?
"Is our kids gettin' enough education?"
Obviously not since he can't tell when to use his 'is's or 'are's.
Here's something stupid Jessica Simpson did.
Okay she was eating a can of tuna, right? And you know how people call tuna the 'chicken of the sea'?
"I know it's chicken, but why does it taste like fish?"
sigh the innocence of stupidity.
