Rachel's hands rest on Roy's naked chest, wrapped in grey and purple sheets. Her hair was a mess, but neither cared. Roy stared into Rachel's soft eyes with sleepiness.
"I'm glad you came." Rachel said her voice barely above a whisper.
Roy stroked her cheek lovingly.
"I'm glad I came too." Rachel smiled the tiniest of smiles, warmth lightly coloring her cheeks.
A knock interrupted the soft eyes the couple were giving each other. Rolling her eyes Rachel wrapped the sheet around her and waddled to the door, train of grey and purple following her. Roy shrugged and turned onto his back. Swiping a hand through her hair, she creaked the door open just a bit.
"Raven." Robin said, authority in his voice.
Stopping her eyes from rolling, she sighed.
"Yes Robin?" she asked.
"I just wanted to inform you that you sister is rooming with you. Have your room set up tomorrow. She's sleeping in Beast Boy's room tonight."
Rachel nodded.
"And thank you for the lovely warm weather tonight." Robin added with a whisper and a wink.
That blush returned to her cheeks with vengeance.
Slowly shutting the door, Rachel turned to Roy, standing in front of the bed.
"Want to hit the shower?" she asked with a smirk.
Outside the night air swirled with the sweet scent of cinnamon and newspice. The smell reached the ultra sensitive nose of Beast Boy, who was sitting on the edge of the roof with Alouette.
Completely different from Raven, who liked to be secluded when meditating, Alouette liked to have company, often engaging in conversation. Beast Boy was beginning to notice that this girl was the utter opposite of Raven.
Alouette let her emotions run fluidly, and unlike Raven, did not effect the weather as crazily.
When she laughed the stars would shine a bit brighter, twinkling wildly.
"Do you have a mirror like Raven does?" Beast Boy asked, watching the girl levitate with ease.
"Yes. But after realizing my strengths when it comes to warping the passage to my mind or minds in general I stopped using it. If I really wanted to I could take a stroll through you mind right now. I am not effected by it at all." Alouette smiled.
"That's kinda creepy, Ali. Do you mind if I call you that?" Beast Boy asked.
"No. Nicknames mean that you have become comfortable with my presence. I am flattered." Beast Boy smiled.
Raven slipped into casual clothes, a dark purple cami and high waisted ruffled black skirt. She slipped into old low topped converse and sneaked out of her room, trying not to wake Speedy. She sat at the island in the kitchen eating fruit loops with soymilk. Robin waltzed in the kitchen towel around his waist. Obviously he didn't see Raven. She stayed quiet trying to understand this stranger in front of her. He looked so different than the leader of the Teen Titans.
Maybe this side of him was Richard.
She sighed ever so softly, letting the spoon slip from her hands and clink against the pretty white bowl. Robin jumped and turned around.
"Oh hey Raven." he smiled.
His well defined eight pack still had water dripping off of it.
"Hey. You're up early." Raven said spinning in her chair.
"I always get up this early." he said as Raven's hand hit the bowl off the counter.
Robin's hand lashed out and caught the bowl just before it smashed into a million pieces.
"I have to keep my moves sharp." Boy Wonder smiled, big and dazzling.
"You should stop smiling so I don't go blind." her voice had no emotion.
He shrugged and turned back around. Raven couldn't keep her eyes off of him. What was wrong with her today? She shook her head and got up to put her bowl in the sink. Her fingers brushed Robin's strong arm, but she played it off like it never happened. She quickly stalked off before he had time to see the blush on her face. Alouette walked out into the kitchen just after Raven stalked off.
"Forgive me for intruding, but do you have any orange juice?" she asked.
Robin's eye caught the skin that her white romper left exposed before looking at her face.
"Yeah there's some in the fridge." he said smiling.
"Have you seen my sister? I wanted to try to talk to her today. Hopefully things have calmed down a bit." Ali asked.
"I actually don't know where she ran off too. But she was in a rush." Robin said.
He thought for a second.
"She's probably going to the library."
"Thank you very much." Ali said curtseying before scampering off.
"Rachel!" Alouette screamed catching up with Raven, surprisingly.
Rachel turned and sighed.
"Not her again." Rachel thought.
"What the hell is she wearing?" she whispered to herself.
Rachel stomped over to Ali.
"You should really put a shirt on." Rachel snapped.
"I thought I was well dressed. I went shopping before coming to see you. Richard seemed to like my outfit." Ali shrugged.
"Because Dick likes anything with boobs. As does Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Speedy." Rachel snapped.
Ali smiled and shrugged.
"I find Beast Boy a very formable man."
Rachel huffed before walking.
"I would barely call him a man. He's only fifteen."
Ali caught up with her again.
"I can sense that he still has feeling for you though you should not dismiss him." Ali pointed out.
"I've traveled down that road. It was nice, but I still count it as one of my mistakes."
Ali looked very confused.
"I do not understand."
"We got too close too fast." Rachel sighed.
"Did you two have sexual intercourse?" Ali asked out loud.
Rachel laughed at her choice of words.
"I guess you can kinda call it that. But it was mistake."
Ali's eyebrows rose.
"Well that explains his attraction to you."
Rachel looked at Ali.
"Are you a virgin?"
"No. I am not. I have only had intercourse. It is a very celebrated event. The monks picked out a celebrate warrior to take my virginity away."
"Wow and I only lost mine to Bushido."
Ali looked confused. Rachel sighed. Her sister was always confused, she could tell.
"We met him when the Brotherhood capture him and many other Titans, including Robin. He was sweet and I was smitten. This rest is sex history." Rachel sighed.
"Well Bushido means way of the warrior so in a way you did lose yours to a warrior."
Ali explained. Rachel shrugged.
"I guess."
"So where are we going?" Ali asked.
"The library. I like to read a lot so I spend a lot of time there."
"That is very great. I also enjoy reading a lot."
Rachel turned to Alouette.
"Seems we have more in common then I thought."
