A/N- This is a long, overdue request from Nkcandygirl. I enjoyed writing this drabble; I had never read or really gave another thought to the pairing Aqualad/Raven. Not sure if this is what you asked for, but I made it a light drabble with other characters included. I might have gotten the episodes a little confused but whatever. :)
((BTW: Requests are open but in order for me to consider it, please log in when you review or to PM me.))
Pairing: light Aqualad/Raven
Background: This is 92 days (you'll see why it's so specific) after the episode 'Deep Six'.
Genre: Humor & Romance
"Aqualad is coming by later to pick up his new communicator. Apparently his other one was eaten by a giant green swordfish." Robin told his team, all while glaring at Beast Boy.
"Hey, it wasn't me!" Beast Boy jumped up from the couch to defend himself. "Seriously!"
"Yeah, because there are tons of giant green swordfish in the ocean." Cyborg smirked.
Beast Boy opened his mouth to say something, but then shut it, sighed in defeat, and sat back down.
"Anyways, he'll be here in an hour or so." Robin continued as he plopped on the couch between his other two male teammates.
"Where's Raven and Starfire?" Beast Boy asked when he realized that he hadn't seen either one all day.
"No clue. I think they are here in the tower though." Robin answered.
Robin reached for the remote on the table in front of him that propped up all of their feet and turned the tv on.
Little did the boys know, Starfire was listening in on their conversation the entire time from the door. She silently squealed and ran to tell Raven.
"Hello, Raven? It is Starfire and I bring glorious news!" Starfire screamed as she banged on Raven's bedroom door a couple times.
The door opened the second after Starfire withdrew her hand. It revealed an aggravated Raven.
"What do you want Starfire? I'm meditating." Raven asked in annoyance as she stepped out of her room.
"You remember the Aqualad? He is coming to the tower for a visit!" Starfire yelped excitedly while jumping up and down.
Raven's eyes flickered for a second before she shook her head. The last time she had seen Aqualad was when Robin had given him his first communicator. She had thought about him a lot of times since and had hoped that he would one day come by the tower, even if just for a minute.
"Why?" Raven asked nonchalantly.
"Beast Boy ate his communicator and he wishes to receive a new one." Starfire replied as hearts developed in her eyes.
"I might have to thank Beast Boy for once." Raven chuckled so quiet that Starfire didn't seem to hear her. "When is he coming?"
"Robin said in an hour."
"I'll be down there then." Raven said as she stepped back inside her room and closed the door behind her.
Raven sat down on her dark purple bed and decided that she would meditate until a few minutes before Aqualad was supposed to arrive. She crossed her legs, then her fingers. She closed her eyes and sighed. Not a minute later, Raven was levitating in the air a few inches off her bed.
"Hey Aqualad!" Robin greeted Aqualad at the door.
"How's the ocean doing?" Beast Boy giggled and shook the Atlantian man's hand.
"Eat any good sushi lately?" Cyborg smirked and laughed when he saw Aqualad's reaction. "I'm just kidding man."
"Not cool." Beast Boy and Aqualad said at the same time with a disgusted look.
"I left your new communicator in Cyborg's room. I'll go get it, then-." Robin started before he was cut off mid sentence.
"Yo, I'll go get it." Cyborg chimed in and headed for his room. "I made it, so I get to present it!"
Nobody could see it since he had a mask on, but Robin rolled his eyes and followed Cyborg anyways.
As soon as Cyborg and Robin opened the door to walk out, they were trampled by two crazed girls who literally had hot pink hearts coming out of their eyes and floating up into the atmosphere.
"Sorry!" Starfire said as she helped Robin up.
Raven helped Cyborg up and dusted his arms off.
"You girls are crazy. It's like you have sonar or something." Cyborg mumbled underneath his breath and continued out the door.
"I-I think I'll just stay in here." Robin replied with a groan as he rubbed the sides of his head.
"Hello Aqualad! I have not seen you in ninety two days!" Starfire announced right as her face turned bright red. "Not that I am counting or anything."
Aqualad smiled and Starfire almost melted into a heaping pool of love.
"Hi Raven." Aqualad waved when he noticed that Raven was standing still enough to be a statue.
"Hi." Raven replied, once again, nonchalantly.
"How's the surface world been to you guys?" Aqualad asked to no one in particular.
"Oh, we were trapped inside three dolls who looked creepily exactly like us not too long ago." Robin told his friend with a slight shiver.
"Yeah, until Raven and Starfire here saved us all." Beast Boy cheesed and directed the attention to the two girls.
"The puppet king was most weird." Starfire nodded in agreement.
"How'd you guys do it?" Aqualad asked, genuinely interested in the event.
"We fought Robin, Beast Boy, and Cyborg until we saved the dolls." Raven explained quietly. "Then the doll lost it's soul and flew away."
Aqualad smiled. "You must have been very brave."
"We tried." Raven smiled back. "Anything interesting happen to you down there in Atlantis?"
"Nah, since Beast Boy helped me conceal all the Trident copies, Atlantis has been very peaceful. With the exception of the occasional robber or something." Aqualad replied, still smiling.
Raven suddenly remembered something.
"Beast Boy, why did you eat his communicator? I thought you two were friends."
"What? Dude no! It wasn't me." Beast Boy wailed aggravated. "How'd you even know that he was coming to the tower today?"
Raven blushed and turned her head away. She didn't want to thank Beast Boy anymore.
"I told her he was coming so that she would be most excited!" Starfire responded, trying to save Raven from embarrassment.
Beast Boy chuckled, but was stopped when Raven used her magic to duct tape his big mouth shut.
"Oh, I'm excited that I got to see you too, Raven." Aqualad smirked with a half smile. "You too Starfire."
"Can you keep Beast Boy like that for awhile?" Robin asked with seriousness and a smirk as well.
Beast Boy muffled a scream, but it wasn't as loud as he probably hoped that it would be.
"Here you go." Cyborg told Aqualad as he handed him a brand new, uneaten, yellow communicator. "Just don't let Beast Boy eat this time."
Beast Boy waved his arms around in the air above him wildly, along with more muffled screams and shrieks.
"Can we keep him like that?" Cyborg smirked and the team all giggled.
Robin led his team and Aqualad out of the tower to the edge of their island to say their goodbyes.
"Thanks again. I'll try to keep this one away from the ocean animals." Aqualad stated sarcastically. "It was nice seeing you guys. I'm sorry that I couldn't stay very long."
"It's fine, we're just happy that we got to see you." Robin told his ocean friend and patted his back.
"Yeah man, come see us more often!" Cyborg chimed in.
"When will we see you again?" Raven asked, surprising everybody, including herself.
"I can come visit anytime pretty much." Aqualad replied while waving bye to the fellow titans. "Call me up sometime, Raven."
Raven blushed and looked down at the ground, which caused her purple bangs to fall in her face. Aqualad stepped forward enough that he could reach her hair to put it behind her ears and out of her face. Raven looked up just in time as Aqualad kissed her right cheek.
The titans stood there with their jaws all the way down to the ground in shock, with the exception of Beast Boy, who held it in an "O" shape.
"Bye guys." Aqualad waved once more to the team and did a backflip into the ocean.
Raven turned around to look at her friends, one at a time, before walking off to go back into the tower.
"I do not understand." Starfire commented with a look of confusion plastered on her face as she watched Raven slowly disappear.
Beast Boy was silent for once, still processing what had just happened in front of him. Robin and Cyborg looked at each other, then bursted out in a laughing fit in unison. Not ten seconds later did the laughing stop when black outlined duct tape suddenly appeared across both of their mouths.
Raven giggled and felt her cheek, which was still damp.
