Heyo peeps! I've come up with an AWESOME plot mixing in with this current one! I'm so excited xDDD
But for now, enjoy the sleepover and romance awesomeness ;D
The girls were hitting it off pretty well in Starfire's room. After doing the painting of nails and putting on the sleepwear, they conversed amongst each other; Starfire, Bumblebee, Terra, and Jade were on the floor-either sitting up or laying down in some lazy position-while Raven was laying on Starfire's bed, book open in front of her and her legs up behind her. Since Starfire, Bumblebee, and Terra did most of the talking, Jade didn't have to talk much, which she felt completely at ease about.
"What shall we do now?" Starfire asked, examining her neon nails; her thumbs and middle fingers had half and half colors, green on one side and yellow on the other. On her index and pinky fingers were also half and half colors, pink on one side and orange on the other. Her ring fingers had a horizontal design of colors, going from green to yellow to orange and to pink, going all the way down; and on each side were black tiger stripes, done by Bumblebee herself. The same patterns went the same for her toes.
"We haven't talked about boys yet," Bumblebee said with a smirk; her finger and toenails were black and yellow stripes, along with a bumble bee painted on her index fingers and big toes.
"Ooooh." Terra grinned. Her nails were red and black, designed to look like lady bug wings.
"Wonderful suggestion!" Starfire clapped. "Raven! Please join us! A promise is a promise, yes?"
Raven sighed, her black fingernails coming across her bookmark and sliding it in her novel; she closed it, then sat up. Starfire patted the empty spot next to her, for the other side was taken by Bumblebee, with Jade next to her, then Terra. Raven got up, fighting the urge to roll her eyes, and took the space, now sitting between Starfire and Terra.
"Let's just get this over with." Raven rested her cheek against her palm.
"Don't worry, Rave, what's said in this room stays in this room!" said Bumblebee. "'Sides, all you gotta do is be honest! We're your girls. You can tell us anything." She made the tiniest of gestures between herself and Starfire, but she did it in a goofy way that made Terra laugh, Jade scoff playfully, and Raven crack a smile; even Starfire was nodding along with Bee in agreement.
"Shall I start?" Starfire asked.
"Go ahead." Bumblebee smiled at her.
"Well..." Starfire smiled back. "As you know, Robin and I are together now."
"About damn time..."
"Bumblebee!"
"What?" Bumblebee asked innocently. "I'm just sayin'! Continue please, hon."
"Very well." Starfire's cheeks turned pink. "Now that we are the boyfriend and girlfriend, he is...less oblivious and actually has a very sweet side. At first I was afraid that he'd stay the same and be focused morely on our hero life than our personal..."
"Is he?" Terra asked.
Starfire shook her head, smiling wider. "It is the opposite. He's letting loose some. It has taken some time, yes, but I have a good feeling about us." She turned bashful, biting her lip and blushing harder as she hugged herself.
"Aww!" the girls chorused in unison.
"Enough about myself." Starfire turned a little in Bumblebee's direction. If Starfire continued, she'd go on for hours about her dark-headed boyfriend.
"Looks like I'm up!" Bumblebee said. "Alright..." She got a mischievous look on her face. "Where to start, where to start...Hmm. Well, my feelings for Sparky can't be summarized in two sentences."
"If Starfire can do it, so can you," Raven pointed out, and Starfire had a playful hurt look on her face. Raven cracked a smile.
"Truuueeee," Bee imitated 2 Chainz. "Okay. So...I guess I started crushin' on him when he came back to sabotage Brother Blood, and we had to work together. I enjoyed picking on him." She giggled. "Since we were natural born leaders, we clashed a lot. Then my feelings grew when he came back to help Titans East out-that was an excuse to spend more time with him. But since he came back to Jump, we've still been in touch. He makes me feel...like I'm important. Like in a way more than just a Titan or teammate."
"Oh, do Aqualad, Speedy, and Mas y Menos not appreciate-?" Starfire started with narrowed eyes.
"Of course they do!" Bumblebee reassured. "But, uh...they consider me as one of the boys most of the time. And Sparky is the only guy in the world who makes me feel like...a girl."
"Aww!" the girls chorused again.
"And have you talked about the feelings?" Starfire asked.
Bumblebee nodded. "We're still talkin', but I guess we're...huh. I don't know what we are right now. But I'd say he's my boo thang, and vice versa." Starfire was the only one who looked confused. "Like friends with benefits," Bee added.
"Oh!" Starfire smiled, glad that she understood.
The girls turned on Jade next.
"Sooooo," Bumblebee sing-songed, and the girls giggled. "What's goin' on between you and Speeeeedy?"
Jade shrugged, but her blush gave her away. "We're just friends."
"Friend-Zoned!" Bumblebee called, and Terra and Starfire giggled. "But seriously, girl! AQ's been tryin' to set Speedy up ever since they met! And you're the only one who he really likes."
Jade was surprised, now looking hopeful. "Really? What does he think of me?"
"Looks like someone's curious," Terra uttered under her breath.
"You're the cherry to his pie, sweety," Bumblebee said, and Jade's eyes widened. "Not like that, you-!" Jade, Starfire, and Terra giggled while Raven smirked. "But yeah, he totally digs ya. Go for it."
Jade bit her lip. "Here's the thing..." she took a deep breath, looking at the friendly faces around her. Her words became soup, and she stumbled over them. "I-I...w-w-well, I...what...what if...what if he...?"
"What is the matter, friend?" Starfire asked with concern.
"It's just..." Jade froze. What am I doing?! I just met them! If they knew who I really was...if Speedy knew...They'd all hate me forever. "You know how...everyone has different sides of them?" The girls nodded, and she continued hesitantly; they were staring at her with pure interest. "Well, I never really had friends, so this side of me is so new to all of this...the...other side of me has grudges against...past events..." Jade ran her fingers through her black locks. "What if he...what if you guys won't like...the real me?"
"We have no right to judge you," Starfire told her earnestly.
"Starfire's right," Bumblebee agreed, and Terra nodded.
"We've...all been through some messed up stuff." Raven spoke up and the room went quiet as the two girls looked at each other. "But that doesn't mean that we let that affect us today. Look at me-my mother used to support Satan and my father's a demon. That doesn't keep me from being a hero or having friends who...love me through all my flaws." Starfire and Bumblebee smiled at that.
"Don't ever regret being friends with the Titans," Terra added, thinking about some of her memories. "Even after all that I'd done, they still tried to help me in the end." she shrugged.
"That's right," Starfire murmured, nodding.
"We're not saying that you have to tell us all ya business," Bumblebee said, and Jade let out a sigh in relief. "You know, we just met you. But if you feel like it-if you're comfortable with it, you can count on us."
"All of us!" Starfire beamed, and Jade smiled.
"I'll take that into consideration," Jade replied.
"Now, back to your feelings for Speedy!" Starfire chirped. "Please do the sharing!"
"Alright, alright," Jade held her hands up. "I'll confess-I really like Speedy. He's cute, funny, and I admire his heroics..."
"You mean his costume?" Bumblebee guessed, and Jade's cheeks turned a bright pink. "Oh come on! All the guys down in the Ops besides Sparky wear tights."
"Skin...tight..." Terra said in a dazed tone.
"Nicely...fitting..." Starfire matched Terra's tone.
"Agreed..." Jade sighed.
The girls looked around at Raven.
"What?" the empath deadpanned.
"Don't you ever wonder if Beast Boy wears anything underneath his costume?" Bumblebee asked, and Raven's eyes widened in surprise.
"Bee!" Terra gasped.
"What? Rumor has it some guys don't," Bumblebee said with a shrug.
"Okay," Raven said, holding up her finger as the girls giggled; the laughter died down as she continued, "I would know for a fact that Beast Boy still wears underwear underneath his costume."
"And how do you know?"
Raven shrugged. "I have a habit of giving wedgies."
Starfire giggled. "It is true! All of our male teammates wear the undergarments."
"Damn," Bumblebee snapped her fingers.
"Aqualad's gorgeous!" Terra blurted out, and attention was on her. "I mean...yeah." She smiled cheekily. "Just putting it out there."
"Diggin' on Sea Boi?" Bumblebee asked, and Terra nodded.
"He's a...very good looking friend." Terra blushed. "He's such a gentleman, and he's sweet and charming."
"That's what everyone says," Bumblebee said almost flatly. "All the girls dig him, 'specially in the Titans."
"We do not!" Starfire and Raven protested while blushing.
"Exhibit A and B." Bumblebee gestured towards her two closest friends, and Terra and Jade giggled. "Anyways, I think he digs you too, girl! Like Speedy over here, I can tell that Aqualad likes you. A lot."
"We just met though!" Terra moaned.
"I don't give a damn!" Bumblebee's voice rose octaves at the swear. "Didja know in most fairy tales, people get married within the course of three days of knowing each other? You try that in the streets and you'll have baby mama drama! PUH-LEASE! You guys act like you've known each other for years. And like I've told Jade here, GO FOR IT. Get you soooome! Smack that!"
"Oh Azar," Raven facepalmed herself.
"Just for that it's now your turn, missy!" Bumblebee turned on her, and so did the other girls. "You and Beast Boy. Spill."
"Uh..." Raven was very quiet after that. "Come again?"
"You hurrr meh!"
"What's there to spill?" Raven said. "There's nothing going-"
"I apologize for interjecting and using the fowl language," Starfire said, looking at Bumblebee and then Raven as she continued, "but, Raven, I wish for you to stop the...'shit of bull'?" She stole a glance at Bumblebee, who gave her an unsure nod.
"You heard her." Bumblebee crossed her arms, smug.
Raven sighed, and her heartbeat started to speed up. "I don't..."
"Rae-Rae, I know you got feelings for Beast Boy-and I bet you a hundred bucks that he feels the same!"
"He likes another girl." Raven shook her head. "He told me."
"HMMM, REALLY?" Raven nodded. "Did he give a description?"
"Um, yeah...kinda. He said that..." The empath left the Terra part out, "sometimes she treats him like he doesn't exist, but he knows she does." Raven shrugged.
"Raven, honey, you are so slow!"
"What?"
"He was talking about you! You're the only girl who treats him like he doesn't exist, and you know he does but you ignore him. He was the one-the only one-to get you to dance with him."
"And to slow dance!" Starfire added.
"And ya'll looked like ya'll were havin' fun. I saw you giggle."
"And you did the smiling."
"And you were blushin'."
"I was not!" Raven protested, and her cheeks felt hot. "Look, Beast Boy said that I was his best friend-"
"Because he probably feels closer to you than any other girl!" Bumblebee pointed out, and Raven was quiet then. "Ha! I win."
"Okay..." Raven scooted closer in the circle, and the girls leaned in intently. "I'll...I'll admit it...Beast Boy may be the most immature and annoying person on the planet, but he...can be really sweet and loyal...-"
"Woof," Bumblebee muttered, and snickers went around the circle.
Raven shot Bumblebee a look before continuing, "and since we've been hanging out more, he's been...bringing me out of my shell. I let him...um..."
"Let him what?" Terra asked, curious and wide-eyed.
"Do what a best guyfriend does." Raven shrugged. "Hug me. Be around me more. And lately we've been...becoming more like each other, which scares me."
"Why?" Starfire scooted closer.
"He's matured a little. Sometimes whenever I read, he'd sit next to me and, instead of playing video games, he'd pull out a comic book. And for me-"
"You have been caught using the phrase 'dude'," Starfire said, and Raven's eyes widened. Bumblebee was amused that Starfire had pronounced "dude" like 'dood'. "I notice these things." Starfire giggled.
"So..." Raven continued timidly. "I've decided that I...like him. Maybe even love. But I don't know..." She looked at Starfire. "You know why I can't. Why we can't."
"Your emotions?" Starfire guessed, and Raven nodded.
"That's messed up." Bumblebee shook her head. "You need to find a way to be with that boy. It's obvious that he wants you to have his babies!"
"Bee!"
"Okay, okay, I'm done!"
TT
Meanwhile, the boys were doing the same thing; talking about girls. With the TV playing a random show, the five guys were hanging around on the couch and the floor, all in their pajamas (excluding Cyborg). Robin, Speedy, and Cyborg had already poured their hearts out about Starfire, Jade, and Bumblebee.
"Yeah, Terra's a sweetheart," Aqualad was saying after describing many attractive characteristics about the blonde. "I really like her." He looked over at Beast Boy. "You don't mind, do you?"
"Why're you asking me?"
"Uhhh, because you dated her?" Speedy said in an isn't-it-obvious tone.
"Terra and I never dated, dated," Beast Boy clarified, and the rest came out in a rush, his teeth gritting at the end. "We just went out once and it was all a trick and Slade pretty much just ruined my life for the rest of that week and as you guessed I was probably pretty pissed!"
Robin patted Beast Boy on the back.
"But yeah, do your thing, Aqualad," Beast Boy said, relaxing as he sank back against the cushion of the comfy couch. "I already have feelings for someone."
"Who?"
The Ops doors opened, and Raven walked through with her hands in her jacket pockets; she looked in their direction as they looked at her, and she continued walking towards the cabinet.
Beast Boy, now excited and giddy, legit flew over the couch and raced over to Raven as she got out a couple bags of chips and placed them on the counter. "Hey, Rae!"
"Hey-whoa-" Raven started a greeting, but was caught off-guard as the changeling wrapped his arms around her, picking her up and spinning her around; she clutched his back, her feet coming off the ground. The guys were smirking at Raven's faintly pink cheeks.
The Ops doors opened again, and the girls walked through just in time to see Beast Boy set Raven down.
"What's up?" Beast Boy asked her.
"Um...I was gonna take these chips to..." Raven began, until she spotted her friends and her eyes narrowed. "I thought I'm supposed to bring the food to you guys?"
"You were the one who suggested while walking out on a dare that Starfire didn't get to finish," Terra pointed out.
"Why do I have a feeling this is going to be bad?" Raven made a face.
"Do not worry, friend! It's fairly simple!" Starfire said, pulling Bumblebee into the kitchen. "My dare is for you and Bumblebee to..." and then she whispered in Raven's ear, then Bumblebee's.
It surprised Bumblebee that she wasn't the only one smirking, because a smile spread across Raven's face.
"Fine. I'm in," she said.
"Oooh, oooh! What's the dare?" Beast Boy asked eagerly as the guys got up in curiosity.
"Easy," Bumblebee said, looking at the half-robot. "Hey, Sparky-go get me and Raven the two video game controllers."
Beast Boy and Cyborg's jaws dropped to the floor.
Oooh! See what I did there?
Ya know how Beast Boy and Cyborg always play video games? Well, Starfire's dare has Raven and Bumblebee playing against each other! I've always wanted this to happen in a story! Whoot!
