Because I sort of feel bad for ruining some people's days yesterday, have this to make up for it.
Bbrae.
Raven sat on the couch in the commons room, a book in her hand while the other sat idly in her lap. She'd been sitting here for who knows how long now, just reading and making small talk with Cyborg and Starfire as they entered the kitchen every now and then.
The Titans rarely got days like this, where they could lay around and do nothing. And with a drill sergeant of a leader, it was even more rare. Robin wanted them to be in the best shape they could possibly be in, and they rarely got a day off training.
Unfortunately, not all Titans got that day.
"Ugh." The changeling's groan came from Raven's right and the sorceress turned to look, her book completely forgotten. Beast Boy wore no shirt and a pair of mesh shorts, his forest green hair still damp from the shower. "It's so not fair." He grumbled, plopping down on the couch, stretching across it so that his head rested in Raven's lap.
She laughed, ruffling the changeling's hair. "None of us are ever late to training, Gar. You're late practically every day."
"Doesn't mean Rob can't lay off for one day." He crossed his arms across his chest, obviously still pouting. "He made me get up at five."
"Training doesn't start until six usually." Raven questioned, glancing at the clock. Was it really almost five in the afternoon?
"He made me go an hour earlier." He groaned, shifting so that he lay on his back, staring up at Raven. "And he didn't even let me take a lunch break. Plus, I was up till three playing video games."
"Sounds like someone had a pretty rough day." Raven smiled down at her boyfriend.
"I need sleep." He moaned, closing his eyes.
Raven ran her fingers through his hair, something she knew killed him to sleep.
He practically purred, turning again so he could nuzzle his face in her stomach, his arms coming up to wrap around her. She gave a small giggle, ruffling his hair.
"Can I please do it?" He asked, though his question was partially muffled due to his face being covered.
She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Go ahead, Gar. You deserve it."
Suddenly the changeling shifted into a green cat, curling up in Raven's lap. She stroked him from head to tail, earning very loud purrs from the changeling. Soon enough, his breathing evened out and Raven continued to stroke him, going back to her book.
