The Not a Date-Date…

Jason and Raven had both come to an understanding with one another. A 'friends with benefits' deal, they were both good at being friends, and they didn't see the harm of adding sex into their arrangement. Jason figured they were both adults, and they weren't childish about this like sex or having their arrangement. They were still friends, and did things together, like going to the movies, or going to the zoos, or the parks, or the beaches, or dinners even. That never meant he was jealous, and neither was she.

Granted, Jason found his side of their little arrangement making him monogamous, which was something he kept quiet, it wasn't a serious relationship. Hell, it wasn't a relationship, it was friends with benefits, which was a step down from relationship. However, he was redeemed by the accidental commitment with no feelings! So… HA!

"Ready to go sunshine?" he asked as he sat on the bed of her Tower room waiting for her since they were going to the Wonder Woman movie for her early birthday celebration.

"Almost," she appeared, hopping as she put on a boot and tried to brush her hair before she fell on the bed and sighed.

"You suck at the be a girl thing," he informed her.

"Kara cheats, she has the who Kryptonian thing going, Zatanna uses magic, Kori's Kori, and Donna's an Amazon, and Mumbo knocked my powers out today!" she grumbled into the bedspread.

"Well, you look fine, finish getting ready so we can go; or else were going to be late," Jason said again and she glared up at him as she twisted around and finished getting ready before she was up and walking with him out of the Tower. It wasn't a date, not really, but he and Raven were going to go to the movies and dinner today for an early celebration of her birthday since he was going to be off world for it and she was kind of his friend so…

"Where are you, Roy and Kori going?" Raven asked as they made it in line, she let her bangs fall over her gem to kind of hide her identy.

"Well, we have no clue," he chuckled.

"Alright, stay safe and have fun!" she smiled.

"I'm not leaving yet!"

"You never say goodbye so I'm saying it now so when you leave I know this time I got to say it," she defended and he rolled his eyes as he paid for their tickets. Jason told her to go get the seats while he got the snacks. Jason walked into the theatre and frowned seeing three boys around Raven, and from the looks of it, his empath friend had no idea what these guys were aiming for. A fury filled him, just as ugly as something he felt from the Pit as he walked up and settled beside her and dropped his arm around her shoulder as he glared the young men off.

"What's that for?" she asked as she tilted her head back at him.

"No reason." He shrugged as the trailers started rolling and he enjoyed just sitting there with his friend.

It was after they were leaving the incredibly awesome movie of Wonder Woman and he still had his arm around her as they both chatted about the movie and what they had enjoyed about it. They walked to the seafood restaurant he'd picked earlier because Raven had never tried it.

"Stay right here, I'll be back," he said as he seated her outside on the misty June night before he walked into the place to pick up his order. It wasn't like Raven could or would get into trouble, and he was betting the movie theatre was a fluke, it wasn't like Raven was a babe who got all the guys flirting with her. Well, she was sexy in a Raven sort of way, it was like the librarian sex appeal. Jason placed the orders and he walked outside to find her talking to two new guys and he gaped.

"What the fuck!?" he muttered to himself as he walked over to Raven.

"Hey, little bird," he smirked seeing the other guys look at him, and Raven turned her head back as she smiled.

"Jason, they were just curious if I was here with someone," she said.

"Well, yeah, because a pretty lady should never wander around at night alone," the other boy smiled. Jason snorted.

"Trust me I'd pity the idiot who crosses her, not the other way around," Jason shrugged. And Raven glared at him. "It's true," he defended.

"Your boyfriend is very confident in your abilities," the other started.

"Oh he's n…" she started.

"Why should I worry about my girl, she's not going anywhere, and we'd like to get back to our date," he smiled maliciously as he watched them go and then he looked over at Raven.

"What?" he shrugged.

"I don't know, but I know you're up to something," she warned.

"I'm up to nothing, I'm trying to have a nice night out with a friend, and guys keep hitting on her, and it's getting really annoying," Jason sighed.

"Are you jealous?" she blinked.

"Of course not," he dismissed, but there was a twist in his gut which had him feeling like he was swallowing acid, and that didn't sit well with him.

"You never introduce me as your girl, so what's up?"

"Rae, drop it," he pleaded.

"No, you've been acting weird all evening!" she protested.

"I have not!"

"You held me in the theatre, you let me steal your popcorn, you have had your arm on me all evening, and you just introduced me as your girl," she defended. Jason frowned and then internally banged his head on a brick wall because he realized he was acting like and he wanted to strangle himself.

"I have no idea what you're talking about," he lied.

"Jason, if I didn't know better I'd think we're on a date," she warned.

He snorted. "As if, love, I don't do dating and neither do you, so drop it."

"I will figure out what's going on with you Red," she warned ominously.

"When you figure it out tell me," he stated and they resumed their peaceful evening.

That's all for now folks.
