The Usual Spot (Animal Magic Sequel)

"This is all your fault!" Gizmo whined, trying not to cry over the complete destruction of his gadgets.

"Yeah, Jinx! If you had just stuck to the plan-"

"SHUT UP!"

Glaring darkly at her 'team-mates', the pink haired teen stormed out of their base in anger. It was bad enough they had lost as badly as they had without letting them blame her for everything they had done wrong too. Teams weren't supposed to blame each other, betray each other. They were supposed to be supportive.

Or at least that was what Beast Boy was always telling her.

Holding back tears, the pink haired girl stormed out of the room, letting her feet take her anywhere they wished while her mind focused on not crying. She wouldn't cry over anything those idiots said. She was smarter than they were. Stronger. Better,

But that didn't stop it from hurting.

It was only when she sat down on the park bench that she realised her feet had carried her to the usual spot. A place of comfort and acceptance.

Smiling wetly to herself, Jinx took out her communicator, quickly typing out a message.

~T! I! T! A! N! S! Teen Titans! Let's Go!~

"Hey! You okay? You sounded kinda down in the text," Beast Boy grinned at her, hoping that he had just misinterpreted the meaning behind the words.

Looking up from where she sat on the bench, the final wall Jinx still had standing came crumbling down. Launching herself at the other teen, she finally let the tears flow freely.

Much to his surprise.

He couldn't think of a time where the Luck Shifter had projected an air of anything but strength. So, this was new.

Wrapping his arms around her awkwardly, he gently led her to sit back down as she sobbed her way through the retelling of her week. It was a heartbreaking sight for the green teen, as he rubbed small circles on her back, listening intently to each word.

"What a bunch of morons," he finally dead-panned, eliciting a small, gurgled laugh from the cotton pink haired teen.

"You would say that," she smiled back at him, pulling away slightly.

It was the most natural thing in the world, in that moment. It was something she didn't have to think about, and something that just felt... right.

Leaning back into him slightly, she lightly kissed the green teenager.

Surprising him, yet again.

Pulling away after a few seconds, Jinx blushed brightly, pulling away completely in embarrassment.

Beat Boy, meanwhile, was trying not to flail his arms in a flabbergasted attempt to remain calm.

"W-well... that was... um,,, yeah..."

"Wrong?"

"...Nice."

Shyly glancing back at him (and with the sudden realisation that she had developed a serious crush on the Shape-Shifter at some point), Jinx hesitated only a few seconds before nodding back, her face turning a dark shade of red.

"Can we please go back to the hugging?" she asked, tentatively.

"Sure."

Wrapping her back up into his arms once more, the two sat in silence as she happily snuggled back into his chest, delighted that she had actually managed to fall for someone kind.

~T! I! T! A! N! S! Teen Titans! Let's Go!~

Staring from the shadows of the trees, two amethyst eyes narrowed as they watched the two teens on the bench.
