I may not own the Teen Titans, but that sure as hell won't stop me from making BBRae happen... in a fanfic... with a disclaimer...
Beast Boy sat quietly on the common room couch early the next morning, downing a glass of water. He wasn't hungover or anything, but merely wanted to re-hydrate with fresh water before his girlfriend threw him into the bay. Plus, he had drank all the coffee already.
He glanced at the clock again. 7:30.
Raven would have been up for a good two hours by now, but he knew he hadn't woken early enough to catch her making her tea. His best bet was that she was in her room, either meditating or scheming up ways to torture him.
He prayed it wasn't the latter.
The common room doors suddenly opened with a hiss, and he cursed himself for jumping. Slowly he turned his head, only to let out a sigh of relief at the sight of the speedster.
"I'm scared something bad happened to the girls last night."
The changeling immediately jumped up from the couch, his cup falling to the floor with a clang. "What?!" he exclaimed. It couldn't be true- Raven would have called him. Plus, he smelt her anger when she returned home after the mission- even though he was hiding in his room. She was definitely in the tower- unless his nose was mistaken. What if she's hurt? Oh god, I could never forgive myself! She's probably lying in a ditch somewh-
"Whoa, dude- you look like you're gonna be sick."
Beast Boy tried to reply, but his mouth suddenly went dry. Raven was hurt, and it was all his fault-
"Anyway, like I was saying, I think they got body-snatched or something," Kid Flash continued.
Hearing this, the green boy's panic subsided into confusion. "What?" he repeated. Comic-book conspiracies were more his thing.
The redhead shrugged as he plopped down onto the couch. "Like, I don't know, Jinx has just been like... nice to me. I don't think it's her."
Beast Boy arched an eyebrow at his fellow titan. "Are you still drunk?" he asked suspiciously.
Kid Flash rolled his eyes. "No, but there is seriously something wrong with Jinx!" he continued, his tone on the verge of hysteria. "She didn't yell at me for drinking, she kissed me good morning, and she hasn't called me a moron once!"
The shape-shifter slowly sat back down, taking in his friend's words. "You're right- that doesn't sound like her," he agreed, his imagination running away with him as he tried to think of a reason. Body-snatching was the obvious explanation, but mind control was a safe bet, too.
With that thought, he felt his panic return. What if Raven had also gotten body-snatched?
"I have to check on Rae!" he announced as he jumped up and ran towards the doors. They barely opened in time for him to squeeze through and sprint down the hall towards her room.
He passed a confused half-robot on the way, who was holding his head from a slight headache. "Yo, BB! Where you racing off to?" he had asked.
Beast Boy barely managed to rush out something about the girls and possible mind control. Cyborg didn't press the subject any further.
Finally, the green boy reached his girlfriend's room. He was about to barge in, before commonsense reminded him that real Raven or not, knocking would probably be the best option.
So he did just that- his fist lighting rapping her door. "Rae?"
He heard her sheets ruffle as she most likely landed on her bed. He imagined her uncrossing her legs and stepping delicately onto her carpet. He could make out her faint steps drawing nearer.
He sucked in a breath, preparing himself for the horror he was about to become witness to.
"Hello, Beast Boy."
The changeling gasped in shock, before realizing the empath looked... normal. Her hair fell loosely to her shoulders, and she was dressed in a simple t-shirt and leggings. He leaned in slowly, sniffing her.
Lilacs and jasmine, with a hint of tea.
It smelt like Raven.
"What the hell are you doing?"
It sounded like her.
Beast Boy tilted his head in confusion- all signs pointed to this being the real Raven.
She stared blankly at him, and he realized she was still waiting for an answer.
"Uh, good morning?" he grinned, leaning in and giving her a quick peck. It felt like Raven, too.
She slowly moved out of the doorway, motioning for him to come in.
The changeling complied, taking a whiff of her room. It smelt like its usual, dusty, Raven-y self. Of course, he could also smell faint traces of his own scent, but that was to be expected. He cautiously sat on her bed, giving her an inquisitive look.
She returned his stare as the door slid shut behind her. "To what do I owe the pleasure?" she deadpanned, crossing her arms.
Beast Boy smiled sheepishly. "Sit," he grinned, patting the spot next to him.
The pale girl opened her mouth to say something, but quickly closed it and complied. He scooted over a little to give her more room, the grin still present on his face.
She smiled back weakly as she sat.
Whatever this thing was, it was good. It mimicked the half-demon perfectly. He needed to throw it off.
"I love you."
His statement obviously caught her off-guard as she blinked in surprise. She wasn't sure what exactly, but something was wrong with Beast Boy.
"I love you, too?" she replied, discreetly lowering her shields to check his aura. It was him- his pure, genuine, somewhat hyper self.
He leaned in for another kiss, and that's when she smelt it. Coffee.
A cup or two, and he was fine. He could maybe handle a third. But too much caffeine equaled one hyper, fidgety changeling; which equaled one impatient, pissed off empath.
"I told you not to drink so much coffee," she deadpanned, leaning away from his lips.
He frowned at her. "Shhh, Rae; let it go," he smirked.
She was about to argue further, but then she remembered it. The dare.
Yeah; she hated Jinx.
The pink-haired girl had dared Raven to follow Beast Boy's every command for one whole day. And if that wasn't bad enough, this particular day happened to be the one where her boyfriend was all hopped up on coffee.
"Okay," she sighed, clearly not wanting to drop the subject.
Beast Boy's eyes widened. Raven never gave up an argument. He never won this easily- or at all, actually.
"Are you feeling okay?" he asked, concerned despite the fact that he still wasn't sure whether she was his actual girlfriend or an alien impostor.
She rolled her eyes in exasperation- if he found out about the dare, there wasn't a doubt in her mind that she'd be wearing next-to-nothing and playing video games with him while eating tofu-sandwiches.
"I'm fine, just a little tired," she replied with a small smile; it was half-true. The girls had stayed up later than usual sorting out the alert last night- which was nothing more than a newbie guard tripping the alarm on accident.
Beast Boy smiled back, ruling out body-snatchers. There was no way someone could imitate her beautiful half-smile.
Mind control was obviously the case.
"I'm sorry, babe," he cooed, slinging his arm over her shoulders. "I would have helped, but Rob-"
He cut off as he noticed the fierce glare she was giving him. His mind reeled, trying to figure out what he had said. Oh, "babe."
He rolled his eyes fondly. "Awe, come on, Rae! Let me call you babe!"
The half-demon's lip twitched as she narrowed her eyes at him. "Fine," she seethed through clenched teeth.
His jaw dropped in shock. He had been living with her for almost four years, and he never once won a single argument with her, and all of a sudden he won two in the past five minutes?
"Who are you?" he growled, straddling her waist and pinning her shoulders to her bed.
She gave him a look of contempt.
"Get off of me."
He shook his head animatedly. "No- not until you tell me what you've done with my girlfriend... or to my girlfriend... or if you are my girlfriend."
Raven huffed in annoyance. Damn him and his overactive imagination.
"I am your girlfriend, Beast Boy," she hissed. Azar, he is irritating.
The changeling still looked unconvinced. "No, you're not," he growled.
Oh, how she wished looks could kill.
"I am," she repeated, attempting to wiggle out from under him. "Besides, if I wasn't, wouldn't the real Raven not be too fond of you sitting on top of another girl like this?"
Beast Boy's face visibly paled at that, though he made no effort to move.
The pale girl sighed; she hated doing this to him.
"OW!" he exclaimed after landing on his butt across her room.
Her eyes returned to their natural, amethyst color as she stood up and walked over to him, extending her hand.
He glared at her halfheartedly as he took her hand and let her help him to his feet.
"It's me, Beast Boy," she sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. She needed to think up an excuse- and fast. "I... I just don't feel like arguing today, okay?"
The shape-shifter stared into her eyes, his heart breaking slightly at the pleading look she gave him. He knew for a fact that this was the real Raven, because no one else could make him melt like she could.
"Sorry, Rae." He tentatively wrapped his arms around her, smiling to himself as she did the same to him. He pulled away, his smile widening at her smirk. "Let's do something fun today!"
She sighed in exasperation, shaking her head slightly. "Like what?"
He paused- that answer was definitely unexpected. "Uhm," he began, truly at a loss for an idea. He was expecting her to decline, opting to meditate instead.
"Like what?" she repeated, clearly trying to hide her impatience.
Beast Boy shrugged sheepishly, before blurting out the first thing that came to his mind. "The rides are still running on the boardwalk- how about some old fashioned carny-fun?"
Raven closed her eyes tightly, repeating her mantra in her head. This was going to be a lot harder than she thought. "Sounds... awesome."
Whoohoo! Another chapter! Lol
So how about some suggestions for what Beast Boy should accidentally make Raven do? I plan on keeping him clueless, until maybe the end of the day, so they have to be something he could command casually, though he is still on his caffeine high, so random isn't totally out of the question.
Anywhoo, maybe leave a review? That'd be like totes fantabulous ;D
