I do not own the Teen Titans- I do not claim to own the Teen Titans. I merely want to own the Teen Titans.
"Well it's not like we can't go somewhere fun, now!"
Raven sighed in exasperation as she switched the phone to her other ear. "I know, but people are still making a big deal out of-"
"Screw people- I hate people. People suck, Rae-Rae."
The pale girl brought her hand to her temple, massaging it gently. Being friends with Jinx was taxing on her mental state. "I know you feel that way- which is a strange trait for a hero, but-"
"But nothing! Come on, you guys still owe me that date!" the pink-haired girl whined over the phone. "And I hate staying with the Titans East; if I have to hear Speedy talk about his fan-girls one more time..."
The empath smirked at how distressed the former villain sounded. "At least he's stopped talking about me and Beast Boy," she mused, tracing invisible patterns on her blanket as she sat on her bed.
"Right? He was like borderline obsessed- I mean, he already knew you guys were dating; I have no idea why he was so shocked when you went public."
Raven gave a small laugh. "I think it has to do with the fact that he bet that we'd break up before that happened," she guessed, recalling an earlier conversation she had with Bumble Bee, who had been visiting the tower a day ago.
"Do you think Robin will revoke my status as honorary titan if I smother the tool in his sleep?"
The half-demon nearly choked on her tea, setting the cup back on her nightstand. "Jinx!" she exclaimed, trying to conceal her laughter over the phone.
She could hear the pink-haired girl giggling on her end. "I'm sorry; but seriously! I thought Wally was cocky, but this guy takes the cake!"
Raven finally let her friend hear her quiet laughter. "Well, you've also got Kid Flash completely wrapped around your finger," she pointed out.
"I do, don't I?" her friend sighed over the phone. "But sometimes I want to take that finger, and wring his little neck."
The empath rolled her eyes. "That worries me, Jinx."
The former villain snorted in amusement. "Oh please, Rae-Rae; don't act like you never want to take Beast Boy's green head and smack it against the wall a couple of times!"
The pale girl let out a small gasp. "Oh Azar, you are descriptive, aren't you?"
It was true; Beast Boy got on her nerves. But besides the occasional smack on the shoulder or back of the head, she'd never do anything to actually hurt him- and she certainly didn't fantasize about it.
"Should I worry for Kid Flash's safety?" she teased.
She could practically hear Jinx roll her eyes. "No, he's fine; I wouldn't ever actually do that to him... but sometimes I just want to- Oh, hey Wally! I was just talking about you!"
Raven smirked as she heard the speedster mumble something on Jinx's end.
"Just Rae-Rae," the pink-haired girl replied.
The half-demon switched the phone to her other ear as she got off her bed and attempted to change into her pajamas.
"Wally says hi!" Jinx giggled.
"Tell him I say hello," she muttered as she unzipped her leotard with one hand.
"She says hi," Jinx repeated to Wally, who mumbled something else. "Ugh, fine- I'll ask! Wally wants to know if Beast Boy-"
Raven grunted slightly as she pulled her sleeves off of her shoulders with one arm, moving the phone away from her ear for a split second. "If Beast Boy what?" she asked, bringing the phone back to her ear as she pulled her uniform all the way off.
"Ugh, I don't want to repeat it!" the pink-haired girl groaned. "Here, you ask her," she demanded, and Raven listened to the muffled protests of the fastest kid alive and the shuffling of the phone being shoved between the two of them.
Finally, the noise cleared up and the pale girl was greeted by the nervous voice of the speedster. "H-hey Raven."
She rolled her eyes fondly. "Hello again," she smirked, pulling on a pair of leggings and shuffling through her drawer in search of a t-shirt. "What is it you wanted to ask me?"
She could hear Kid Flash take a deep breath. "Uhm, well, I wanted to know if Beast Boy-" he began, but Raven missed the last part as somebody knocked on her door.
"Sorry, hold on," she muttered to her fellow titan, before pulling the phone away from her mouth. "Who is it?" she called to the door.
"It's meeeeee," her boyfriend sing-songed.
A genuine smile appeared on her face at the sound of his voice. "Come in," she replied, before pulling the phone back to her mouth. "Actually, Beast Boy's right here, so you can ask him yourself."
She heard a relieved sigh through the phone as her bedroom door opened.
The changeling strolled in casually, a grin present on his face. "Who you talking to-" he began, before his face turned a bright red. He quickly turned back around to leave, only to see the door had already closed behind him. "Oh my god, Rae! I'm so sorry- I thought you said to come in!" he blurted quickly, clearly flustered. He turned towards her, blushed harder, and turned back around, before doing it again, getting redder each time.
Raven gave him a confused look, before she felt the small draft that was let in when her door opened. She looked down in horror, realizing she had yet to put a shirt on, and was standing there awkwardly in a pair of leggings and her pink, polka-dotted bra.
"Oh my god!" she shrieked, dropping the phone and grabbing a random shirt. She quickly pulled it over her head, her face brighter than his.
The shape-shifter turned around a third time, letting out a sigh of relief when he saw she was now fully clothed. "I am soooo sorry, Rae!" he repeated, running towards her and taking her hands in his. "I swear you said 'come in'!" he insisted.
The pale girl nodded in embarrassment as she let go of one of his hands and used her powers to levitate the phone to her. She promptly hit the "End" button, indescribably mortified at the thought that Kid Flash had heard everything, though he probably had no idea what was going on.
"Rae?" Beast Boy whispered, concerned by the blank look on her face. He gently led her to her bed, sitting her down and taking a seat beside her, their fingers still laced together. "Are you o-" he began, but was interrupted as the mug on her nightstand shattered, sending the lukewarm tea all over them.
"I'm going to have to change again," she mumbled quietly, her eyes staring blankly in front of her.
Her boyfriend chuckled nervously. "Do you, uh, want me to leave, then?" he asked, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly with his free hand.
She turned her head, staring at him in horror. "I-if you don't mind," she stuttered, her eyes wide.
Beast Boy nodded in understanding, getting up from her bed quickly. "I'll be right back," he promised, backing away from her and towards her door. "But I'll, uh, knock first."
The changeling stood in front of her door, his hand suspended in the air, frozen in the knocking position. It had been a little over five minutes since he had... walked in on her, and he figured he gave her enough time to calm down and change.
He knew she must have felt humiliated- heck, he was pretty embarrassed too. But in his sick little teenaged-boy mind, he was doing a little happy dance; after all, Raven was a very beautiful girl, and he'd be crazy not to want a glimpse of her in something like that.
Yet at the same time, this was Raven, and even if she looked incredible in her completely unexpected pink bra, he couldn't let her know that and expect to live.
He sucked in a deep breath, ridding his mind of his less-than-polite thoughts, and timidly knocked on her door. "Rae?" he whimpered, cursing himself for sounding so scared.
He heard her muffled "Come in," and he tentatively began sliding her door open, before pausing in fear.
"Y-you sure?" he stuttered, closing his eyes in shame at how stupid he was being.
He could already feel her glare as she huffed in annoyance. "Yes, now come in," she growled.
The green boy complied, slipping into her room with the caution of an alley cat. He peeked at her quickly, noting she was now dressed in a black zip-up hoodie and purple pajama shorts.
The pale girl was removing the tea-soaked sheets from her bed, purposely avoiding the questioning eyes of her boyfriend.
He continued to stand there awkwardly at her door, jumping slightly when it hissed shut.
She finally looked at him, seeing he had changed out of his tea-stained uniform, too, and was now in a simple black t-shirt and grey sweats.
"I'm not going to bite," she deadpanned when he still made no move to come closer.
The shape-shifter let out a sheepish giggle, inching towards her. "You're, uh, you're not mad at me, right?" he asked, twiddling his thumbs nervously.
Raven sighed in exasperation. "It wasn't your fault," she confessed, sitting down on her naked mattress. "I was on the phone with Jinx and Kid Flash, and wasn't really paying attention- and he wanted to ask you something right when you knocked, and..." she trailed off, tentatively playing with the ends of her hair.
Beast Boy smiled in relief as he sat beside her. "Good," he breathed, earning a quizzical look from his girlfriend. "I, uh, I thought my hearing was going bad for a minute there, and then my dumb ears would be completely useless," he laughed, hoping to stifle the tension still hanging in the room.
To his joy, the empath cracked a slight smile. "But I thought chicks 'dig the ears'?" she teased.
The changeling let out a dry laugh. "Yeah, well, there's only one girl whose opinion matters to me now," he admitted shyly.
Her smiled grew as she leaned in closer to her boyfriend. "Well, I totally dig the ears," she whispered, tugging his earlobe gently with her fingers.
Beast Boy shuddered slightly at the sensation of her breath on his neck. "A-awesome," he replied, clearly flustered.
Raven blushed at how forward she was being, and quickly leaned away. "So," she began awkwardly, wanting to change the subject.
Her boyfriend looked at her expectantly, waiting for her to continue. "Yes?"
She sat there, completely at a loss for words. She kept reliving the earlier incident in her head, and one detail in particular stuck out like a giant pink elephant in the room.
"It was a gift!" she blurted, her face turning the same color as her... unmentionables.
The shape-shifter arched a brow in bewilderment. "Huh?"
The pale girl absent-mindedly played with the strings of her hoodie. "Starfire gave it to me last Valentines Day. I tried to explain to her that Valentines Day is for couples, and that this was an incredibly strange gift from her, but she insisted- you know how giving she is," Raven elaborated, her face feeling like it was on fire.
Beast Boy's jaw dropped in realization. "Oh," he squeaked as his eyes unconsciously traveled there, before snapping back to hers. "That's very... nice of her."
Raven rolled her eyes fondly. "Of course you would think that," she teased, feeling a little less embarrassed.
Her boyfriend scoffed, feigning offense. "And what is that supposed to mean?" he bit back, a smile creeping onto his face.
The empath shrugged, giving him a devious smirk. "You're just like every other hormonal teenage boy," she replied matter-of-factly.
He was about to protest, but knew it'd be no use. So instead, he swiftly captured her lips in a kiss, wrapping his arms around her waist and scooting her closer to him.
Her lips responded immediately, moving with his in perfect rhythm. She timidly pulled him closer, which, in turn, ended up pulling him on top of her as she fell back onto her bed.
He kept one hand at her waist, lightly brushing her exposed skin at the top of her shorts, and used his other arm to prop himself up so his full weight wasn't crushing her.
But she seemed to not mind as she pulled on the collar of his shirt, bringing him down so he was almost completely on top of her. His hand slowly snaked up under her hoodie, and though this time it wasn't really tickling her, it was a tingling reminder of what they were doing.
Her eyes opened with a start, and she roughly pushed him away. He gave her a hurt look, before realizing what they had been doing. On her bed.
"Shit," he muttered, rolling off of the pale girl and laying beside her. "Maybe we are just hormonal teenagers."
Raven made a small hum of agreement, staring at her ceiling. She wasn't even eighteen, and already she had succumbed to making out with her boyfriend on her bed like a dumb, needy girl in one of Starfire's TV shows.
"Maybe we should set some boundries," she suggested, unconsciously playing with the zipper of her hoodie.
Beast Boy grunted in agreement, finding it hard to concentrate as he watched her pull her zipper up and down, revealing that she only had her bra on under it. Her pink bra.
"No sex," she announced off the bat, still unaware at what she was doing to her boyfriend.
"Of course," he replied, finally tearing his eyes from her and focusing on the ceiling as well.
"And nothing that leads to sex," she added.
"Making out can lead to sex," the changeling pointed out dryly.
"Nothing beyond making out," she amended.
The green boy nodded his head. "Alright."
"Alright," Raven repeated.
A somewhat awkward silence passed between the two as they continued to lay on her bed. Both wanted to say something, but neither could think of anything.
"I wonder what Kid Flash wanted to ask me," Beast Boy mused aloud, glancing to his side at his girlfriend.
She, too, turned towards him, a curious look on her face. "I do, too," she admitted, furrowing her brows.
"We could call him back," the shape-shifter suggested.
Raven's face visibly paled as she gave him a sheepish look. "I, uhm... I kinda got tea on the phone, too..."
Weirdly long chapter lol
