So yeah, I don't really own the Teen Titans... no biggie.
"I have never attended the premier of a movie before!" an overly ecstatic alien exclaimed as they walked down the red carpet and towards the theater entrance.
The fearless leader of the titans smiled fondly. "I don't think any of us have, Star."
"Definitely not me," the robotic birthday boy smirked. The three titans turned around to get the answers from the other two, but were confused to see them standing close and speaking in hushed tones.
"Seriously, if you're not comfortable with this, let me know. Cy will understand," the changeling whispered in concern as he walked slowly beside his teammate.
"I'm fine, Beast Boy. I can handle a scary movie," the empath replied with a sigh.
"But your powers-"
"I have my powers under control now. I'm not fourteen anymore."
Beast Boy gave the pale girl a worried look. "I-I know, it's just your powers have been acting up a bit lately, and-"
"What do you mean they've been acting up?" Raven repeated defensively.
The shape-shifter nervously rubbed the back of his neck. "You know, like with the tea..." he mumbled.
The half-demon glared at him. "One time, Beast Boy? You're fearing for the safety of the whole theater because I spilled my tea one time?"
"There's more! I just can't quite remember exactly what they were," he replied sheepishly.
The empath huffed in annoyance. "I'll be fine," she repeated. "And I appreciate your concern, but in case you didn't notice, my powers only slip up whenever I'm dealing with you."
The green boy wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. "Ohhh, I see; and why might that be?" he smirked, ignoring the blush he felt on his cheeks.
The pale girl's face was turning a similar color. "We are not talking about this here."
"Come on, Rae! You won't talk about this anywhere!" Beast Boy whined.
"Keep your voice down!" Raven hissed, sparing a glance at their teammates ahead of them. "And in all honesty, there is nothing to talk about."
The changeling narrowed his eyes at the purple-haired girl. "There's a lot to talk about, Rae."
"I disagree."
Beast Boy let out a frustrated sigh. "Right, I'm the immature one..." he mumbled
"Excuse me?" Raven growled, glaring daggers at the teen beside her.
"Nothing," he replied in annoyance. "Let's just catch up to the others."
"...and a jumbo popcorn, extra butter," the robotic titan grinned childishly.
"'Cuz it's not like you ate dinner or anything," Robin muttered under his breath, earning a small giggle from the orange girl.
"Oh, yeah; dinner was great- you left that waitress a nice tip, right?" Cyborg smirked, watching as the color drained from his leader's face, and the amusement in the Starfire's eyes turn into anger.
The empath listened to her friends' conversations, smiling to herself. But her smile quickly faded when an angry alien grabbed her arm and dragged her towards the restrooms for a second time that night. "I have decided that I am still mad at friend Robin," she announced once they were in the safety of the girl's bathroom.
"Really?" the pale girl deadpanned.
"Sort of, yes; I want him to think I am still very upset," the redhead admitted with a sly grin.
Raven gave the girl a bewildered look. "Uh, why?"
"Because, friend Raven, maybe it will be the kick in the butt he needs to initiate the romance!" she squealed. "With me, of course."
The purple-haired girl rolled her eyes fondly. "Well, hopefully everything works out for you two."
Starfire stared quizzically at the empath. "Are you not hoping friend Beast Boy will make the move as well?"
"Yeah, about that... I think I might have mistaken my total lack of patience with him as a crush."
The alien blinked her green eyes a couple of times, obviously confused. "I do not understand..."
Raven shrugged her shoulders awkwardly. "I don't think I'm crushing on him; we kissed, and it confused me, but I've had time to think, and... and I don't like him like that."
"What?!" Starfire shrieked, clearly upset. "This cannot be true! We were to do the double dates of the golf of miniature proportions!"
The empath tilted her head, translating the words in her mind. "Mini-golf?"
The orange girl animatedly nodded her head.
"Sorry, Starfire; you'll just have to find some other couple to go with. I'm sure Kid Flash and Jinx would be up to it."
The alien's face visibly paled. "Oh, friend Jinx... Uhm, she still does the scaring of me, friend Raven. I do not wish to upset her by accident, for she has the temper of shorts."
Raven threw her arms up in a shrug. "Then let her win; I don't know."
"Are you certain you are not experiencing the crush on friend Beast Boy?"
"Positive; now let's go watch that movie." And I just have to make sure I don't end up next to Beast Boy.
Raven sat in her seat, arms crossed and a frown evident on her face. Of course... she thought bitterly as the changeling sat down beside her.
"I got you an iced tea, Rae," he smiled sweetly, leaning over her to set it in her cup holder. "It's, uh, it's from the soda fountain, but I figured it'd be better than nothing."
"Are you planning on spilling this on me, as well?" she asked sarcastically.
"N-no," the green boy replied sheepishly.
The empath sighed deeply, chanting her mantra a few times in her head. "Thank you, Beast Boy; for the tea. That was very thoughtful of you."
Beast Boy's grin returned. "No prob, Rae!"
The pale girl let a small smile grace her lips, which only caused the green boy's smile to widen.
"So, you can go ahead and lean on me, in case you get scared," he smirked confidently, earning a glare from the empath.
"Not going to happen," she deadpanned, turning her attention to the large screen in front of them.
The changeling's cocky smile remained as he, too, focused on the beginning of the movie.
Raven watched in boredom as victim after victim got slaughtered in gruesome ways. This crap used to scare me?
She re-positioned herself, lightly brushing her arm against the changeling's.
The green boy jumped in shock, turning wide-eyed to stare at the amused empath beside him.
"What's the matter, Beast Boy? Scared?" she whispered with a smirk.
The shape-shifter rolled his eyes, dismissing her teasing words as he fake-stretched.
Raven watched from the corner of her eye as Beast Boy discretely tried to put his arm on the back of her seat. He's braver than I thought... she pondered in amusement. Or stupider.
Suppressing a smile, the half-demon used her powers to lightly tap the changeling on his other shoulder. The green boy quickly whipped his head around to look at the half-robot beside him in confusion.
Cyborg was busily using both hands to shovel fistfuls of popcorn in his mouth, his attention solely on the movie before him.
Slowly the changeling turned his focus back on the movie, his bewildered expression remaining. Raven's smirk broke through as she again used her powers, only this time she gently tugged at the bottom of his pants.
Beast Boy immediately pulled his feet onto his chair, staring at the ground in shock, and earning amused looks from his fellow titans.
"Come on, B! That part wasn't even scary," Cyborg laughed through a mouthful of popcorn.
"I-I thought.." Beast Boy began, only to shake his head in confusion. "Never mind."
The robotic titan snorted in amusement, before resuming the stuffing of his face.
The changeling spared a quick glance at the empath, just in time to catch her remaining smirk.
Oh, she wants to play, huh? the changeling smiled to himself. Fine, Rae. Have it your way.
Feigning a look of fear, the green boy leaned onto the half-demon, whose smirk quickly disappeared. "What do you think you're doing?"
"S-sorry, Rae," he fake-stuttered with puppy dog eyes. "I-I guess this movie is a l-lot scarier than I th-thought."
She narrowed her eyes at him before pushing him away. "Well, don't look at me. I can't do anything about it."
Smiling like mad on the inside, Beast Boy hung his head in faux-embarrassment. "S-sorry."
Raven regarded him skeptically. What is he up to?
Now, the changeling internally smirked, I'll just wait for the perfect moment...
That moment came not two minutes later, when the shrill scream of the main protagonist pierced through the air. Beast Boy quickly grabbed the empath's hand, and to his pleasant surprise, she gripped his just as tightly. Well that worked a lot better than I expected!
After the initial scare, the pale girl continued to hold his hand, completely oblivious to the action. Every couple of seconds, the shape-shifter would glance at their laced fingers, and a warm feeling would spread throughout his entire body. Okay, if I don't make any sudden movements, she won't notice for a while...
So he sat completely still, watching from the corner of his eye as the purple-haired girl stared wide-eyed at the screen.
Raven closed her eyes in frustration. It's just a movie, it's just a movie. she repeated to herself. Calm down, just focus on something else...
She opened her eyes slowly, only to realize what her hand was currently doing.
In a burst of dark energy, Cyborg's jumbo bag of popcorn imploded, the contents raining down on the titans and the bewildered civilians in front of them.
"What the..." the half-robot began in confusion, before setting his sights on the bright-red empath. "What was that for, Rae?"
The pale girl quickly snatched her hand away from the changeling, who gave her a sheepish smile. "I'm sorry, Cyborg. Maybe watching this movie was a bad idea." And with that, she promptly stood up and headed for the exit.
"Wait, Rae!" Beast Boy called after her as he, too, sprinted for the exit.
Raven made her way through the empty lobby and sat down on a bench to try to calm her frazzled emotions.
"Raven?" Beast Boy asked quietly, sitting down beside her. "Are you oka-"
"Why can't you just leave me alone!" she snapped.
The changeling gently placed his hand on her knee, causing her to blush and look him in the eyes. "Why can't you just talk to me, Rae?"
"There's nothing to-"
"Yes there is!" he interrupted impatiently. "We- we kissed, Raven," he continued in a lower voice, "and now everything's all awkward, and I don't know where we stand anymore."
The empath looked away shyly. "We were drunk, Beast Boy. It... it didn't mean anything."
"I don't believe that," he stated calmly.
Raven looked back at him in frustration. "It didn't! It was one stupid little kiss!" Then in the midst of her frustration, she cupped Beast Boy's face with her hands and brought their lips together chastely, before pulling away with a bright blush. "See? It means nothing!"
The changeling sat there dumbfounded as the pale girl quickly stood from the bench, and in a flash of dark energy, disappeared from the theater.
