Rating: M
Pairing: Raven/Jinx
A/N: So... who's up for a date?
Don't own anything related to Teen Titans. Pointless to sue, don't got money.
Enjoy! ^^
Raven was humming as she walked into her house through the garage. She was in a very happy mood, and even the scratches on her bike didn't bring her down. The first place she went was to the back door, letting Nova in. The wolf walked in slowly, looking around the house, hoping to see a sign of the pink-haired metahuman, when she didn't see her, she whimpered, sitting down at Raven's feet.
"Don't worry sweetie." Raven said, leaning down to scratch behind her pet's ear, "I saw Jinx tonight."
Nova looked up at her, the question clear in her eyes, even though she wasn't human.
"We have a date tomorrow. She'll come over afterwards to see you." The mage explained, smiling as she saw Nova get up and hop around the living room, howling happily. After the wolf had her moment, she followed her mistress into the master bedroom, where they curled up in the bed and fell asleep. When they woke up a couple of hours later, they made their way into the garage, where Raven went and got some tools and paint, while Nova went and laid down in the corner. It had a thick blanket folded in half laying on the ground, and a rawhide bone laying off to the side of it.
Raven started humming as she went about fixing up her bike. She had the types of paint she needed, but figured that a full tune up wouldn't hurt any. It was three hours later, when her cell phone started ringing, that she stopped.
"Hello?" She asked, wiping the grease off her left cheek before putting her tools away.
"Hey, Rachel... I was wondering if you could do me a favor?"
"Destiny?" Raven asked, noticing that Nova looked up at the name.
"Yeah... I'm in town for a few hours, I was wondering if I could come over and use your shower? I have a date tonight."
Raven snorted, "And why are you asking? You know you're allowed to come over whenever you want."
"Good... Cause I'm down the street. And you know me, I always want to make sure."
Raven huffed, "Ok, I'm in the garage, so I'll just open it. You better be ready to say hi to Nova."
"Awe, you know, I've missed her. I need to visit more often."
Raven chuckled, walking over and pressing the button to open the garage door. She watched silently as a red Ferrari pulled into her drive way. She put her phone away as her ex-girlfriend stepped out of the sports car. Her red hair nearly glowed in the sunlight, and her grey eyes looked even lighter then they usually were. With a smile, she walked over to Raven with a bag in her hand,
"Thanks Rach. I just got in and realized that I wouldn't have enough time to get a hotel room." She said, hugging her long time friend, before kneeling on the ground with her arms open, "Nova?" She asked, watching the wolf.
Nova moved over and nuzzled against the side of Destiny's neck. The redhead hugged her tightly before getting to her feet again and heading into the house. She went to the guest bathroom and took her shower.
Raven stayed in the garage, checking to see if the paint dried on the motorcycle. When it was, she took a clean rag and slowly wiped the bike down, making sure it shined. After that, she went into the house and went to her room, looking at the clothes in her closet. She was still debating on what pair of pants she wanted when her door opened and Destiny stepped in.
"Hey, what are you doing?" She asked, rubbing the towel in her hands through her hair to dry it more, "And what did you do to your hair? It wasn't that short when we were dating."
"The only reason why it was that long, was because of Nik. I got it cut about a month ago. And I'm trying to figure out what to wear tonight."
"Why?"
"You're not the only one who has a date." Raven said, growing frustrated as she started looking through the shirts next.
Destiny sighed, "Raven, sit down."
Raven did as told, an old habit that she hadn't gotten rid of yet. She watched as the redhead ran sacked her closet and threw things onto the bed. The first item was a pair of black jeans, they were fairly new, so they would work well for a first impression. The next, was a black long sleeve button up shirt, it was in the same state as the jeans. This was followed closely by a black belt, and Destiny's head popping out of the door,
"What's the color of her eyes?" She asked,
Raven frowned, "And what makes you think it's a girl, hmm?"
"I know you Raven. We were together for nearly two years. Don't give me that bullshit." Destiny said, "Now, eye color, or am I going to take a guess?" Her head disappeared into the closet,
"Her eyes are a light cotton candy pink." Raven said, waiting for a moment...
Destiny's head shot out of the closet again, staring at the mage sitting on the edge of the king size bed.
"Are you shitting me?" She asked, "You finally got the courage to ask?"
"Actually, she asked me." Raven said, trying to fight the blush that was forming on her cheeks.
"Does she know yet?" Destiny asked, grabbing the one pink tank top that Raven had and heading over to the Titan.
"No." Raven answered, shaking her head, "I already came close to fucking it up a while back."
"What did you do?" the redhead asked, sitting down as Raven got to her feet.
The mage grabbed the clothes and headed to the bathroom. She left the door cracked so that she could could explain what happened a few weeks back before she took a shower. It didn't take her very long, and she was dressed in a matter of minutes. When she came out, she was greeted to the sight of Destiny frowning deeply while staring at her.
"Is that why your arm is bandaged?"
Raven looked down at her arms, "She got a small taste of my blood, then proceeded to get hurt without knowing what it would do. The wound on my forearm doesn't bleed, but the sight of it might send people into a frenzy. You can see all the way through my arm. The one on my hand is a small cut, but it doesn't stop bleeding... I have to use my powers so that I don't have to change the bandage every three minutes." She smiled slightly, "So, Miss Johnson, what shoes am I suppose to wear?"
"Your boots, duh, and don't call me that!" Destiny shouted playfully.
Raven chuckled, walking out the room and putting her boots on. Destiny followed, grabbing her bag from the spare bathroom and placing the towel she used in the hamper in the laundry room. She stood by the couch, looking around. She smiled at the few pictures of their past that rested on tables, the one book shelve in the room, and on the wall. When the mage was done, they hugged briefly and exited out the garage. Destiny got back into her Ferrari and left, while Raven got on her motorcycle and headed over to Jinx's apartment.
~o0o~
Jinx stood passing her living room. She had forgotten to set up a time, and it was nearing six in the evening. Did Raven change her mind? She hoped not, she really wanted to see where this... thing, between them would lead to. She had been ready by three, wearing a dark blue skirt that went down to an inch above her knees, with a nice light blue button up shirt and a pair of black sneakers. She had made sure her hair was straight, instead of the natural waves it usually had. She had even but on a small amount of make-up, just a little bit of blush to her cheeks.
Did... Is she not coming? Was she just joking? Oh god... I ho- Before anymore doubt could fill her head, she felt a sudden wave of calm wash over her and she took a deep breath. Raven was never one to joke and tease. Not in anything like this. At least she wasn't in the past, and I have no reason to doubt her now.
A knock on the door caused her to snap out of her thoughts and she moved to open it, feeling her jaw drop to the floor as she took in the sight in front of her.
Raven stood, her hair looking slicked back, though there was no sigh of any gel in it. She was wearing a very nice pair of black jeans, with a black button up tucked into it. It looked to only have three of the buttons fastened, and the pink tank top under it could easily be seen. There was a new looking belt woven through the loops of the pants, and the mage was wearing her trade mark combat boots, though they look as if they had been polished to a shine. The sleeves to the shirt were rolled up to the middle of her forearms, and the bandages actually helped make her look sexier... at least, in Jinx's opinion. The only piece of jewelry she had on, was a necklace around her neck. It held a small simple black jewel that had a red center.
"Jinx?" Raven asked, finally breaking through the other woman's thoughts.
The meta human picked her jaw up off the floor, "Wow... Uh, you look nice." She said, trying to get moister back in her mouth.
Raven smiled, "Thanks, you look beautiful. Ready to go?"
Jinx nodded, and they left the apartment, heading down the stairs and walking over to the Titans bike. Raven smiled as she sat down and felt the pink-haired woman follow suit. Her arms snaked around the mage's waist and held on tight as Raven started the bike and drove off. The Titan had debated on where to take Jinx for dinner, but had finally settled on a picnic type dinner, figuring that they could use some privacy for the rest of the talk that was sure to take place. Once she figured that out, she decided that the forest outside the City would be a nice place.
Hopefully dinner would work out alright.
A/N: Soo... What do you think?
Hope you enjoyed! ^^
