The first part of this chapter occurs before the two enter their relationship.
As was fairly evident, Raven had an extremely solid sense of self-control.
After some time, however, he had come to accept the fact that some things were simply beyond suppression. Predictably, one of those things was Beast Girl. It got so dreadful that he honestly had no idea sometimes if she was merely going about her business or deliberately playing mind games with him.
"Need some help there?" He drolled, not looking up from his breakfast. His furtive glances revealed she was struggling mightily to reach the upper shelves without the use of her powers.
She shot him a sharp glance, scrunching her nose and squinting her eyes. "We can't all be tall, dark, and handsome." She immediately returned to her objective unabated.
For some reason, he found himself incapable of tearing his gaze away. Of course, if any of his comrades, Gabriella in particular, were in the vicinity and capable of detecting his treacherous gaze, he would be far more careful, but he had a free pass to pervert land for now. Really, though, he couldn't deny there was something extremely endearing about the way she would stand on her toes and stretch her arm out as far as possible. What he liked most was that part of her tongue would jut out ever so slightly, and-
"Will you please stop fidgeting and let me heal you?"
Minutes earlier, Beast Girl had made a small leap up and subsequently tumbled to the floor. In the ensuing chaos, she somehow cut her hand. Raven bolted over to her with speed he never knew he had. Luckily, she was fine, minus her lost balance and a minor cut on her hand, as evidenced by her rejoinder about her 'knight in shining armor' coming to the rescue. Of course, Raven immediately insisted on patching her up on the couch, but she was being less than an ideal patient.
"Oh, Raven, you are my kind of nurse."
As if on cue, he rolled his eyes and shook his head. "Just give me your hand, pest."
Still flashing that subtle, rage-inducing grin, she lifted her wrist upon his request. Given the disparity in their respective statures, her hand fit in his palm, all that he had to do now was-
"Oh, God," Raven thought to himself, searching for breath. "Her skin is so soft. And her hands are so warm. Is she manipulating her body temperature somehow?"
He knew that Beast Girl catching even a hint of his being flustered was enough to set her off, but he was stunned. Even this minor touch was something heavenly, and she must've had that brand of perfume on that drove him up a wall. He didn't even want to know what brand it was; it was the smell of Beast Girl, and it was truly glorious. And her soft, soft lips were effortlessly close-
"You're free to kiss the lady's hand if you'd like, my champion." She knowingly said, completely flustering Raven.
"I-I-uh, right." Before she could let out yet another comment that made his stomach sink, he channeled every ounce of willpower and focus into healing Beast Girl's cut. Truth be told, it wasn't even that severe, but he wanted to be totally sure Gabriella wouldn't get some sort of infection from it . Moments later, the cut vaporized into the ether, leaving her perfect, green skin totally unblemished. She gripped her wrist and examined her now purified skin.
"Better?" He dutifully inquired.
Now she was giving a genuine smile. "What would make it even better is a real kiss. I think you've earned it for saving the day."
Raven stood and turned away before she could see his cheeks burn. "You're fine."
It was true that Raven truly adored all the time he spent with Beast Girl, it certainly wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was the best part of any day, but he admitted his spunky, perpetually energetic girlfriend had a bad habit of forcing him to neglect his reading. Besides, one could easily reserve time for both a loving girlfriend and a reading, he hoped.
In a sweeping display of the universe's irony, Raven mused that he was actually making fairly decent time before his sternum was suddenly crushed and the silence of his room was pierced by his sudden "oof". Beast Girl had employed her super powers and her impeccable tactical espionage acumen to surprise him by crashing into his lap.
"Don't mind me, you can go back to whatever it was you were doin'," She was clearly far more invested in making herself comfortable than Raven's health. "Gosh, I'm so annoying aren't I? You were just mindin' your own business and in comes me. I'm kind of like a cat that just sort of burrows in next to you whether you want it to or not," After she concluded the sentence, Raven looked down to find that she had materialized into a cat. "Well, it's too late now; I'm here." She then resumed her quest to secure herself around Raven's body by burying her face in the crook of his neck.
"No more annoying than usual." Despite the sudden turn of events, Raven vowed to remain stalwart in his literary quest. Beast Girl let out a hefty sigh once she was satisfied and remain motionless on top of him, save for her rhythmic breathing and that smile.
Admittedly, having Beast Girl bound to him was rather distracting. As always, she smelled like something sublime and her lips were endlessly enticing, but her presence would not break his willpower. He kept on.
"You know," She sleepily mumbled, eyes closed. "I never did get that kiss for when you healed me hand on the couch that one time."
Raven deliberately flipped the page. "Have we not made up for it with interest?"
"Yeah, but I'd like to give you your reward right about now."
"I'm not going to stop reading."
She methodically brought her lips an inch away from his neck so he could feel her breath. "Oh, don't worry, you can keep reading, babe, buuuuuuuuuut I'm not saying you won't be distracted," With that, she began her barrage of light kisses on his neck. "Kisses on your neck-mwa!-and on your throat-mwa!-oh, and on your cheeks, too." Her ability to destroy his willpower had only strengthened with the growth of their relationship. Raven was still reading, but looked absolutely miserable doing so.
As Raven remained obstinate in his resolution to keep on, Beast Girl knowingly gazed up at him from her position, that sweet smile still slowly melting him. "Well, since you're being such a meanie, I guess I'm gonna climb under your shirt cuz you owe me your warmth," With supernatural speed, she sprung underneath his shirt before returning her head to its original position nuzzled against him. "Did you know that I love all of you? Not just your muscles and your big dick, I love how warm you are, I love how you pretend to not love it when I love on you, and I especially love your cute face."
Raven had quite enough. "I am not cu-"
Another swift kiss on his lips to interrupt him. "And I really love how you secretly love when I tell you about your cute face even though you're all like: I'm a big manly man, and I don't have a cute face," Her rough approximation of his voice, he felt, was incredibly inaccurate. "You have a cute face, and you love it when I compliment you on it."
Finally conceding defeat, Raven let his head fall back slightly before he regained eye contact with Beast Girl and her smug triumph.
"I knew that eventually I would get you. You just cannot resist my feminine wiles."
He gave her a soft smile. "I wouldn't have it any other way."
