Hey y'all, first of all, thank you for the kind reviews. I guess you all needed a push. I'm crying reading them.
And I'm sorry I've been so inactive and I hope this upspree will make up for it. I was very by busy with exams. Well I'm a ninth grade student and next year I'll be a senior, and I have to choose my career course this year. It's a big choice and I still am not sure what to do.
And I know it's looong past Halloween and it's 2020 now. But I still finished this anyway. I just am not as motivated as before, I don't feel as excited to write teen titans, all is in my mind now is Augustin and Azar, my original characters of my original story, it feels great to have a story of my own to tell.
Titans live action season two came out and well, IT WAS UTTER BULLSHIT! IT MADE ME UNABLE TO READ, WRITE OR WATCH ANY FORM OF TEEN TITANS FOR MONTHS! I AM NOT WATCHING THAT SHIT AGAIN!
I currently have a new passion project which is my original story, and if you have webtoon, I'd be happy if you read it when it's released.
anyway, I'm also in a new Fandom called Hazbin Hotel. And no, I'm not ending this and leaving It or my other stories behind. I still love teen titans and bbrae, but I'm not as motivated to write as before, and don't feel guilty or anything, because it's not because of you. ^^
I will ask For others (mostly Elivia22) for my chapters every once in a while when I can't do it. Cause my talent is mostly on fluff. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this upspree I've Been working on since October 30th 2019. T^T
Beast Boy woke up with the annoying ring of his alarm clock. He smashed the button, only to get zapped with a electric shock. He screamed and jumped up, his head hitting the top of his bed. "Yeah, I'm totally selling this bunk bed." He muttered bitterly, rubbing his head.
The green changeling stared at his hands, at his claws. "I don't get what Rach sees in me..." He turned his head, looking at the end table with the electronic clock on it. It was smashed to pieces. Beast Boy led out a frustrated sigh, the night before had been exhausting. "I wonder if Star has the same problem," He thought as he got up and walked toward his bathroom. "She has superhuman strength too."
He washed his face with ice water and grabbed another clock from the cabinet. It was 6 am, right on time. Usually he'd stay in his room till 12pm after having a late night snack beforehand, but this time he decided to go to the ops room. And not just because he hadn't had a chance for a snack, but because his early bird girlfriend would certainly be there.
Walking toward his closet, he took a look at his wall Calendar. His face lit up as he saw the orange paper with witch hat and jack-o'-lanterns. "It's Halloween!" He exclaimed. Oh how much he loved that holiday, when everyone would dress up and he'd get less judgmental looks for his looks. He quickly wore his uniform, grabbing his gloves and putting them on as he walked to the main room.
He froze in his steps as the door swished open. Windows have been colored dark blue and blood red. with the faint morning light, The ops room looked marvelously frightening. The sofa-despite being brand new- looked old; and just like everything else, it was covered in- worryingly- realistic blood and spider webs. light coming from the candles was faint, giving the ops room a very scary, haunted house vibe. Definitely Raven's work.
It was the first time Raven had done something for a holiday, even though she said she likes Halloween- why wouldn't a goth, half-demon hybrid like Halloween?- Raven wasn't the person to celebrate anything due to her powers and their strong link to her emotions.
A grin replaced his dumbfounded face as he walked inside. His Raven was truly gifted when it came to terrorizing others. She really had done a great job at it, Although it was missing one crucial thing, jack-o'-lanterns.
Hearing a kettle whistle from the kitchen, he headed there to greet Raven. He wasn't paying attention to her looks, as he was reaching for the cereal in the cabinet. "Ops room looks really frightening mama! Good job!" He said as he turned around, getting face to face with the dark sorceress who was holding a steaming cup of tea and staring at him with her four eyes- "four eyes!?"
"AAAAAAA! RAVEN WHAT THE-!?"
Rachel didn't look like herself at all. She looked more like Trigon. She had slightly pale, red skin, very light, almost white hair, and of course, four yellow eyes. There were four horns on her head and Beast Boy knew for a fact that weren't fake. Half demoness had fangs, pointy ears and claws, just like he did. Garfield was utterly paralyzed.
Raven chuckled, seeing him so shocked was quiet amusing. She started to feel self conscious after the humor of the moment died. "Do I look that bad?" She asked coyly.
Beast Boy held up his hands in defense, still scared. "N-No dear! You look beautiful... It's just..." Green changeling chuckled nervously, gulping. "Um, you-you look like a mini female version of Trigon." He said quickly, cowering behind his hands.
Raven laughed. "Gar, I'm not going to kill you. I know I look like Trigon." She took a sip of her tea.
Beast Boy led out a sigh of relief. "This is not a costume, is it?" He asked, grabbing a bowl and Pouring cereal inside.
Young empath sat down behind the table, beside him. She took a long sip of her tea before calmly answering, "Nope."
"Of course." He sighed. "You know, I always suspected you had a demon form." Beast Boy said with a smug smile. "By the way, the decor needs jack-o'-lanterns babe." He said, kissing her cheek.
"I know, the pumpkins should arrive any minute." Raven replied. "Although, I've never done pumpkin carving before..."
"I'm pretty good at carving wood, how hard can it be to carve pumpkins?" Garfield said as he pulled her close, landing a gentle kiss on her horns. "I'll help you." Then he continued eating his breakfast.
Raven blushed, hiding her face behind her cup. Although, with her red skin, her blushing wasn't very clear. Touch of his soft lips felt nice against her horns, She could feel Garfield's gaze on her.
Raven smiled, placing her cup on the table. "Thanks." She leaned her head on his shoulder, nuzzling her face on it gently. True, she wasn't a touchy, affectionate person, but her handsome boyfriend was a exception. Besides she was trying to be more social anyway. "Oh Azar! who'd know someone's shoulder would ever feel so comfortable!?"
Garfield always smelled like wet dust after rain, he was like a warm fall morning after a thunderstorm, broken, but still bright, beautiful and strong. She loved the way he made her feel, how much he cared about her. How special he made her feel, and how happy he made her when she didn't protest.
She took a glance at him again and smiled softly, for it to be return with his affectionate one. She looked away again and closed her eyes. He was everything she wanted and more. The way she felt for him, she'd never felt such affection for anyone, not even Malchior. It was indescribable.
"Honestly, beside the resemblance to Trigon, you look marvelous; what in the world did I do to deserve you?" Garfield thought with himself, looking at the beautiful demoness who had stolen his heart; and surprisingly he had stolen hers. She was everything he could ever hope for and more, she complemented him in many ways, and yet they were more similar than anyone could ever think. Why did she harbor such kind of affection for him? He honestly didn't know.
"All you did was be just the way you are. And were there for me when I needed someone, when others didn't know what to say, you did. I'm the one who should be asking that question." She said lovingly as she sank deeper in his broad shoulders, basking in his affection, care, lust and love for her.
Garfield looked at her, surprised. "What do you mean?" He asked hesitantly.
"You asked, what you did to deserve me. And Garfield, you did quite a lot."
Beast Boy was still staring at her dumbfounded. "But Rach, I never said that out loud..."
Raven's eyes widened as she realized what she had done, and it was so clear it didn't seem like she had heard his thoughts. On one hand she was glad she was getting more powerful, on the other, she was afraid of her powers, still not sure if their connection to her emotions is as unstable and dangerous as before. She took a deep breath and smiled again. "Oh well, I guess I have telepathy now."
Beast Boy smiled back at her softly. "now we can talk anywhere anytime." He thought, directing to toward her.
Much to his amusement Raven had heard him, she shrugged. "I'm still new at using these powers, and I don't know if it'll work for long distance." She sank deeper into his broad shoulder. "With the... special, relationship we have, it's possible."
"That would be great mama."
"Will you stop that?" Raven yelled at him, pushing him away. Garfield only chuckled, amused.
an hour later:
Raven and Beast Boy were now sitting behind the table which was now filled with varieties of pumpkins.
"Oh wow! Why so many pumpkins?" Asked Beast Boy, his eyes wide. There were about 20 pumpkins surrounding them, and he was sure they needed 10 at most.
Raven shrugged. "Well, it's my first time pumpkin carving, I might mess up."
"And what are we gonna do with rest?" Garfield asked, raising an eyebrow. Grabbing one of the pumpkins and pounding on it like it was a drum.
"I'm gonna cook something with them." He heard her reply.
Green changeling's face paled, Raven cooking?! Nothing good ever came out of that. He looked at the pumpkins, he couldn't let her torture the pumpkins, and wouldn't let her torture them. He took a deep breath and cooled down, he crossed his arms. "You mean I'm gonna cook something with them. Right?" He said with a confident and matter a fact expression. After all, it was well known that he and Cyborg were the best cooks in the tower.
Rachel gave him a glare with her four glowing yellow eyes. She knew she wasn't good at cooking, leftover pumpkins seemed to be the best practice. It was fairly embarrassing that everyone in the tower could cook a decent meal and she could only brew tea. She couldn't even make her favorite food, waffles.
Seeing her glare, Beast Boy tightened the wrap on his arms. He turned his head and frowned slightly. "Hey! It's not my fault you can't make anything but tea!"
Raven huffed, turning her head. "I hate you." She commented coldly.
"Aw Rach come on!" Beast Boy whined as he buried his face in her neck. She smelled like lilac, lavender, books and candle. And softly bittersweet scent that was completely hers. The scent that'd never change and she couldn't hide. It was like burnt, brown sugar. Oh lord, He loved her so deeply. "I'm sorry, don't hate me." He begged, basking in her scent more. Sometimes he hated what she did to him; that he loved her so much.
"You're invading my personal space, Garfield." Raven said, pushing him away with a frown, still salty about his comment.
"But I'm your lovely boyfriend. Aren't I?" He said, wiggling his eyebrows with a smug smile.
Raven's frown deepened. "If you continue, you might become my, dead, ex-boyfriend." She snarled.
Beast Boy gulped, sitting down on his chair silently. "I'd dare not dear."
Raven smiled. "Good." She mused with herself. "I guess I'm the dominant one in this relationship."
Garfield smirked. "Don't mistake this for my weakness. I'm still a beast."
Raven poked his eyebrow. "Well, all I see, is a kitty."
"oh bish please, I can rip someone's heart out with one move and not regret it."
"Oh is that so mister?! Do you want me to end us right here right now?"
"Oh you wouldn't."
"Yes I would."
At that very moment, the other pair of lovers of the tower walked inside the ops room. They stared at the ops room for a long time before leaving their stunned position and get back to their senses soon enough to see their bickering.
"Ugh! you two are at it, again?!" They heard Richard say in annoyance as he entered the kitchen. "We all know by now that, 1, Cyborg isn't coming back from the dimension; and 2, you're both equally protective and terrifying in this relationship. Beast Boy a little more." He said as he poured himself coffee.
He turned around to give them his famous glare with his piercing sea green eyes. He spat out his coffee the moment he laid eyes on demon Raven. "What the hell?!"
Young empath chuckled while Beast Boy was laughing like a lunatic. "Dude that face is priceless!" He wiped tears off his eyes. "Did I look like that when I saw your demon self mama?"
Raven shook her head. "No, you were just shocked not scared out of your wits."
Richard looked at them, if took him a while to take everything in. "Weren't you guys just fighting?"
Garfield shook his head. "Only bickering. Like we always do. It's part of our relationship."He laughed. "And honestly, it's kinda fun." Green changeling wrapped his arms around Raven's shoulder, pulling her close. Raven rested her hand and head on his chest and nodded in agreement. "Studies show, couples that bicker, have a stronger and more long lasting relationship." She pet Beast Boy's head. "I could never really hate Gar with all my heart."
Beast Boy held Raven's hand and landed a gentle kiss on it. "And I'd never hate Rae."
Richard cleared his throat, purring another cup of coffee for himself. "Well, you don't need to be so sappy." He sipped his coffee, still staring at the couple. "And please go back to your human self Raven." He said, slightly pleading.
A smirk appeared on Raven's lips. She could feel the horror Robin was feeling, and it was enjoyable. It was a great deal to scare the mighty Richard John Grayson. "Uncomfortable, Dick?" She said. She got no response but a soft glare from her leader. She chuckled and closed her eyes which were amethyst once again after she reopened them. Her skin started to pale, and her hair darkened in shade again. "Happy now?" She asked, in a fake annoyance in her voice.
"Very."
Starfire had been looking at the pumpkins with sheer curiosity from the moment she entered the kitchen. "Friends, can I too participate in the task of making jack-o-lanterns?"
"Sure star!" BB exclaimed. "Raven bought way too many pumpkins." He smirked. "I'm excited to know what voodoo stuff she's gonna do with the rest."
Raven glared at him, poking his waist with her elbow.
"Ouch! Babeee!"
few minutes later:
Beast Boy put down his small knife and smiled. "I'm done. What do you think, Rach?"
Raven looked at him, her cheeks burning as she saw what he had carved on the pumpkin. "you're such a dork!" She said with a fake annoyance in her voice, poking Garfield's nose.
Beast Boy grinned smugly. "But your cheeks say otherwise."
Young empath's blush darkened and she looked away coyly. "It's pretty. Okay?"
Garfield laughed. "I'll take it." He looked at his carved pumpkin again and smiled at his masterpiece. It was a heart, written bbrae in the middle. With various hearts carved around it. It was made with impressive skill. "I was right! It's not that difficult to carve a pumpkin." he mused with himself proudly.
"Speak for yourself, Garfield. It's really difficult for people who don't have wood carving skills or Lazer powers." She glared at Starfire who was praising her own piece. And it was terrifying.
Robin scratched his head. "Uh, beast boy didn't say anything."
Raven shrugged. "I got telepathical powers this morning."
Robin's eyes widened and he looked at her in disbelief. "wow! a lot can happen when you sleep!"
Starfire nodded. "you are right boyfriend Robin! we keep missing out on a lot of the stuff that happens between beast Boy and Raven. we should spend more time together."
Raven rose an eyebrow. " what do you mean Starfire?"
The alien princess clapped joyfully. "I suggest a double date!"
Raven froze, looking at Starfire with wide eyes. A double date? With THEM?! She wouldn't dare even think about it! She was planning on a horror movie with Beast Boy, right there in the tower when THEY go on a date. She turned her head to her boyfriend,
Beast Boy looked at her, his gaze was warm and soft. Raven's cheeks darkened, but she didn't look away. Garfield smiled gently. "You don't have to go if you don't want to. We can always watch a movie right here." He told her telepathically. Knowing his girlfriend for two years, he knew she didn't want to go on a double date. And he knew she wasn't ready to go on a date with him in public either. He didn't take it to heart, he loved Raven. And he knew that the reason was alll the reporters and fans that will be all over them. Just like what happened with Robin and Starfire.
Raven looked down, ashamed. "Don't you want to go?" she asked.
Garfield held her hand. "I'll do whatever you want me to do Babe. I'm happy when you are." And that was true. From the moment he met Raven, his life purpose became making her happy, making her smile. And that was what kept him alive in his darkest times. Raven. Even her thought would brighten his day. Yes, she could be crule at times, but he had to admit he was a nuisance when it counts. But there were many times when she was a dear friend for him, and would make him put away suicidal thoughts. She was the reason he lived.
Ravens cheeks were now crimson red. Her guilt more than before. Why was he so kind and gentle? He wasn't like this before? Was he? Maybe it's because he's starting to show his other side? Or is it just because they're dating now? He was always doing things to make her happy. Whether it was a sweet gesture, or sacrifices he made. Or his stupid-slightly endearing- jokes and attempts to make her socialize more often.
Raven clenched on her cloak. what did she do in return? Push him away, slap him, insult him, give him a wedgie or downright just throw him out of the window! And yet he wouldn't stop. He kept on trying and she didn't appreciate his kindness- even though it was odd or annoying sometimes- until it was too late. Until she could rarely see his face and hear his voice. When he was long gone and when he returned he wouldn't even look at her, he was too tired to bother her, to try and make her smile or even smirk. He was too wasted doing favors for his family that he didn't have any energy left for this one. And when they got some time alone together, when she'd ask him why he returned, he'd say, "Even though it's for a short time, it's good to be home, to be with my family, with you." Back then she didn't really consider that possibility, but now she had started to think, did he mean you as in, Raven? Just Raven?
"Rae?"
Garfield deep and consoling voice snapped her back to reality. "Oh! S-Sorry, I got a little distracted."
Beast Boy smiled, gently caressing her arm and shoulder. "It's alright sweetheart." Raven's blush deepened. She turned her gaze to Star and Robin, clearing her throat. "Well, about the double date, uh-"
Green changeling's ears twitched. He was hearing a faint scream and a sound that was quiet similar to the sound portals made, swirling water. His eyes widened and his ears perked up as he realized what that voice was. He grabbed Raven with one arm and his jack-o-lantern with the other, yelling as he tackled them to the ground. "DUCK!"
Raven looked at him in confusion, "Duck? What do you mean Du- ooooofff!" She was caught off short when she was tackled to the the ground. "Garfield!"
"Sorry. But there's a hunk of junk falling from the sky." Garfield replied with a nervous smile.
"What do you-" Her voice was caught off again as they saw a portal open and a voice was heard.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAA HOLY SHIIIIT!" A masculine voice yelled from the portal and a silver and brown object fell from it. Wait wait, my bad. A dark skinned Cyborg fell from it. He groaned weekly and rose his head slightly, looking at the green changeling and the sorceress. "Have you two broken up yet?" He asked sarcastically.
Raven pushed her boyfriend away gently and stood up, "You seem like you want to go back to that dimension again. Cause I wouldn't mind sending you back."
Cyborg's face paled, he stood up. "Hell no! It was horrible! Do you have any idea how it is to relive your worst memories and fears every second!?" He yelled.
Beast Boy stood up, patting dust off if his uniform, a smirk on his face. He walked toward Cyborg with slow, loud steps. "Well Victor," He dug his claws in the the metal armor Victor wore for his lost flesh, his eyes glowing yellow. "Now you know how I feel every. Single. Day. Since I was eight!" He said calmly, yet filled with anger.
Cyborg stared at him, his eyes twitching, his body shaking and his face paler than before. "I-I'm just gonna go call my dad and tell him I love him!" He squeaked and ran away. Beast Boy's lips twitched and he laughed loudly. "Oh man! That felt so good! My sadistic side is so satisfied and happy right now! Hahahahaha!" He laughed even louder gripping on his stomach.
Raven smiled affectionately, she truly loved seeing him happy. No matter what, no matter how. His joy brought joy to her heart as well, it's time she made compromises for him. Dark sorceress turned her head back to the other couple, her smile still on her face. "So about the double date,"
"I can't believe we agreed to this!" Raven whined, crossing her arms.
"The double date?" Garfield asked as they walked together in the amusement park. It was about 6 pm, sundown but still fairly empty. It was his idea, knowing Raven didn't enjoy crowded places and knew there will be people sharing their relationship in social media. They had arrived at 4 and it was the tenth time Raven had whined about their outfit. they had played some mini games and some rides and were getting ready to leave before rush hour.
Beast Boy had managed to buy Raven a huge purple teddy bear holding a green heart; which was so ironic it wasn't funny. Dark sorceress gad turned it into a pendant on a bracelet so she could carry the giant plushy.
Raven groaned. "Well yes. But I meant THIS!" She yelled as she pointed at their clothing. They wore costumes of beauty and the beast. Although Raven's dress was short and instead of high heels she wore flats. And Beast Boy had kept on his silver gloves even tho she had insisted he didn't wear them for once; he had claimed it'd be too dangrous because his claws are so sharp they can cut through titanium and they react on his emotions sometimes.
Beast Boy held his girlfriend's hand and smiled. "Aw, mais tu es magnifique ma beauté. J'adore ton apparence, ça te va parfaitement." (Aw, but you look beautiful my beauty. I love the way you look, it suits you perfectly.)
Raven rolled her eyes and poked his waist with her elbow. She hated it when he spoke to her in another language she didn't know. Most of her language knowledge were about ancient languages and Greek. "I don't speak French Garfield."
Green changeling smiled and looked at her with mischievous yet affectionate voice. "je sais." (I know.)
"I'm guessing you said, you know that." Raven replied with annoyance.
Beast Boy chuckled again. "Oui!"
Raven rolled her eyes and sped up, leaving him behind and catching up with Robin and Starfire who were a few steps ahead. Starfire was wearing a female version of Robin's uniform as he had wore a Tamaranian attire. The uniform swap idea seemed good, Raven wondered why she had insisted on them dressing as beauty and the beast instead of doing the same as them.
"AW Rae! Come on!" Beast Boy ran toward her and held her hand. "I'm sorry."
Raven turned her head. "I'll only forgive you if you tell me what you said."
Starfire looked at them and smiled sweetly. "Oh that's quiet simple. he said, you look beautiful my beauty. I love the way you look, it suits you perfectly."
Raven's cheeks darkened. "Oh." She cleared her throat. "Well, thank you." Raven rose an eyebrow as she realized Starfire had understood french perfectly. As far as she knew, Star had only learned English, Japanese and German in this two years. "Since when do you know french star?" She asked suspiciously.
Starfire's cheeks heated up as she remembered how she had gained that knowledge. She cleared her throat and looked away embarrassed. "I might have kissed Beast Boy..." She said; almost as quiet as a whisper, ready for Robin and Raven's wrath. And she was right; the pair of siblings looked at her with wide eyes filled with anger and confusion. "WHAT?!"
Raven's eyes glowed in red, her heart was beating fast in her chest. Starfire had KISSED, HER Beast Boy?! Kissed him on the LIPS?! She felt her chest tighten after her anger wore of slightly. What if that was his first kiss? And she could've had it. "Why did you kiss him!?" She asked. Her eyebrows farrowed and she looked at her boyfriend. "Why did you LET her KISS you?!"
Beast Boy coughed and looked away. "I had no say in it. It happened before we went to Tokyo okay?" His cheeks were now flushed into a brownish red. "She just kissed me out of nowhere when I told her I know ten languages." He looked at Raven with puppy dog eyes. "I told her that kisses have different meaning on earth after she did that! And it wasn't even a kiss, it lasted less than a second! Don't be mad! Please Rae?"
Raven sighed and shook her head. "it's-its alright. I was shocked that's all... Star didn't know any better that time. Right Robin?"
"Huh? Yeah right." Robin cleared his throat. "So where are we going first?" He asked.
"I suggest the hunted house." Starfire replied joyfully.
Raven smiled. "I like the idea." Hunted houses were safe scare, dark and gloomy and Gothic and a great test for her control over her powers. "Let's go." She said as she grabbed Garfield's arm and pulled him to the hunted house as well as Star did with Robin.
They arrived in front of the large, old looking house. windows blocked with wood and color had worn of from the red building. Jack-o-lanterns scattered on the yard and laminating the dark place. spider webs could be find in various of places and it smelled like old, walnut wood. it's roof was jet black, hiding in the night sky. Both Robin and Beast Boy rose an eyebrow. With both of them having heightened senses, one due to genetic mutation and the other Bruce's intense training session and circus, they weren't really a fan of hunted houses. They knew when there was danger-well, safe scare-lurking behind them or in front of them in the dark; even if it was a good skill they possessed, it took the fun out of things like hunted houses and made escape rooms easy at points.
They shrugged, looking at each other with boredom. "Oh well, whatever the ladies say." They said together. There was a moment of silence, they were staring at each other with lips twitching. "Jinx! You owe me a car!" Beast Boy yelled.
Robin groaned. "aw man! I was gonna make you buy me a new cycle part I wanted."
Green changeling laughed. "Not this time traffic light!"
Raven and Starfire looked at each other in confusion. "I do not understand rich kids." Said Raven. Starfire only shrugged and walked toward the hunted house.
inside
The hunted house was made with impressive skill, it even gave Robin chills. They were walking on the house, trying to find a way out. Who knew that house was also a escape room?! Of course that information only made the ladies more interested in partaking the activity.
Raven was holding Beast Boy's hand; not admitting she was scared to others, even tho she knew her heart was beating rapidly in her chest. "S-So..." She broke the silence, to lessen the dreadful vibe of that place. Young empath cursed herself when realizing her voice was shaking. "Gar, What languages do you know?" Of course she continued to speak regardless.
Beast Boy shrugged, he wasn't scared much; but his heightened senses were fully alarmed for any danger. If anything malfunctions or a villain tries to pull a 'Trick' On them. The same went for the paranoid Boy Wonder. "I know, English, Swahili, Spanish, french, Arabic, Greek, German, Chinese, Korean, Farsi, Russian and Japanese"
"Isn't that twelve? And you know JAPANESE?!" Raven asked, her fear now pushed back by anger and confusion. If he knew Japanese then why didn't he use it back in Tokyo? And why did Starfire kiss a boy to learn the language? Was it to cover for kissing Beast Boy before? No, it couldn't be; right? She was utterly confused.
The green changeling laughed. "I didn't know Japanese and Russian till early this year. If i did back then, then why would star kiss a someone to learn it."
"Good point."
Suddenly a pale figure dropped in front of them, hung from the sealing. It smelled rotten and was covered in blood and scars. It was a typical Corpse, Halloween style. But it's fall was all too sudden for everyone, as they were focused on their conversation. Raven and Starfire both screamed and held onto their boyfriends; Robin and Beast Boy also yelled, but, it was more from the intense pain in their arms.
"Dude, we have strong girlfriends." Beast Boy wheezed.
Robin only nodded and wheezed, the pain in his arm was too grave to let him speak.
The haunted house ended with two petrified women and their boyfriends' arms breaking. Raven healed robin's arm and went to her own boyfriend after. Green changeling waved a hand. "Don't worry, I regenerated every time." Raven caressed his arm. "Does it still hurt tho?"
"Only mildly, don't worry love." Beast Boy replied as he kissed the top Raven's head. His arm was throbbing and hurt gravely, but it wasn't necessary for him to be healed by Raven. It'd hurt her as well.
It was near the rush hours, Robin looked at his watched." we should get out of here before people barge in." He said. A grumble was heard from all their stomachs. "Does anyone know a good restaurant?" Richard asked.
Beast Boy nodded and smiled, "I know just the place."
They headed to Robin's new vehicle. He had bought a car a while ago. Of course the R-cycle had a special place in Richard's heart, but he had gotten the car for other's uses as well. Because the cycle couldn't handle more than two passengers, and Cyborg wasn't always available and they didn't always have their powers handy. For his case, he didn't have super powers to begin with.
They sat in the car. Kory and Dick in front and Raven and Beast Boy sat in the back of the car, holding each other close. Starfire and Robin looked at each other and smiled at their display of affection, they were predicting their relationship for sometime, and were very happy for the couple.
"So where are we going?" Raven asked. nuzzling her head in her boyfriend's chest.
Garfield smiled. "A place owned by my two biggest fans." He chuckled lightly. "They are VERY interested in my origin story." Raven looked at him coyly, and jealously. "Should I be jealous?"
Beast Boy landed a soft kiss on his girlfriend's head. "Nope. No one can replace you, my Raven."
Raven giggled and nuzzled closer. "I'm counting on that."
Starfire smiled as she saw how affectionate beast boy and Raven were together. It was rare for the empath to put down her guard, and it has never been seen for her to act like this with anyone. Beast boy really did wonders. She was happiest star had ever seen her.
They drove to the restaurant Garfield had suggested. It wasn't very crowded. Yet. As beast boy said, it was usually packed with customers. It was Halloween themed that day of course, black wallpaper and so many decorations, like spiders, spider webs and jack-o-lanterns. It was scary but it didn't ruin your appetite.
"GAR!" Raven saw two girls standing in front of her in sheer excitement. "you came just in time. It's not rush hours yet." they said in a oddly creepy syncs.
"hi girls!" Beast Boy replied happily. Of course raven at all wasn't happy with that. She was regretting this double date more and more every second that passed. She could've been selfish and stayed in the warm, cozy and quiet tower, watching horror movies while cuddling unto her boyfriend and having him all to herself. But no, she had to be kind and let him do something he wanted, even after he said he doesn't mind watching movies.
As she watched him laugh and be intimate with the girls, she cursed her loving and kind heart under her breath. Garfield was hers and hers only. And she despised, that right now, it didn't seem like it.
One of the duo came toward her, she was wearing a softly colored pumpkin orange dress shirt, long until her knees; her leggings and boot were both pastel green. She was wearing a green long sleeve under the shirt which she had folded it's sleeve to near her elbow. A green scarf on her head,-ah she was a Muslim- she radiated with cheerful, mischievous, yet guarded spirit. "Hello Raven." She said politely.
The tanned girl with her dark brown eyes looked like she was 17 or 18. Even with her cheerful spirit there was more Raven sensed. A high self confidence that was built with time and experience, and a huge introvert personality under that talkative nature.
"um hi." She responded, not knowing where the conversation was heading.
"it's really great to finally meet you. Garfield comes here every time he does something stupid which upsets you." She chuckled softly. "despite his genius, he's the dumbest when it comes to you."
"can you not insult me? " Beast Boy said angrily.
"Oh you know it's true green beans." Azar said sarcastically, rolling her eyes.
" Hm... I think I'm going to like her. " Raven mused with herself. Azar seemingly was very similar to her, except for her bright clothing and more talkative spirit than her. They both enjoyed teasing Garfield and both introverted. "As long as she doesn't try to steal Garfield from me of course."
"so, your name is Azar?" She asked. Remembering Azar, her teacher, back in Azarath; and all the memories she had of that place, where was most likely nothing but ashes and lava. Thinking about that made her flinch slightly. She was brought back to her senses by Azar's chuckle. "haha. No. My name is Zahra. But people call me Azar because of my last name and cause it's easier for them to say."
Raven quirked an eyebrow. "And you don't mind it?" She asked. Young sorceress herself would be furious if anyone called her anything but Raven. True; her real name was Rachel. But she's been called Raven for too long to be comfortable with something else. Of course her green boyfriend was an exception to that rule unless he went too far.
Azar laughed again. "Not at all. I like it. I'm guessing it's same with you and the name Raven. Unless your name is really Raven?"
Raven shook her head. "It's not."
"See? Now, let me take you to your table ^^" Azar replied cheerfully and walked away. Starfire, Robin and Raven followed her to find the table Garfield had assigned. His voice, calling for them stopped them in their steps. "Yo guys! Come here!" They turned around and saw Beast Boy with the other girl, standing near a small stand in the restaurant. "Bug eating contest?" Robin read the label on the stand with a cringe.
Azar laughed and lead them to the other two. "Yup, it's fried crickets."
Robin and Raven looked at her in disgust; while Starfire was just curious. Azar got a defensive face and laughed. "What? it's delicious. Believe me I thought it was disgusting at first, but when I actually tasted it, it was awesome."
Raven gave her a look again and said in her monotonous voice. "Well, I for one have lost my appetite."
"But I am curious of how the insect will taste like; I shall participate in the contest." Starfire said with her curious, naive and cheerful voice. Before Robin or Raven were able to stop the alien princess, she ran to the stand and stood behind it, shaking from excitement of trying a new earthly cuisine.
Raven went to the other woman who looked like she was in her early twenties and was putting the plates in front of the four contestants, which unfortunately, Garfield was one of them. "um... Hi." said Raven.
Olivia smiled at Raven. "hi Raven, big fan." she said sweetly. She had brunette hair and brown eyes, wearing a black and purple witch costume. Her hair flowed on her shoulders and her height was fairy shirt for her assumed age, about five foot tall.
She had a mischievous glint to her eyes, a glimpse of chaos and darkness not so derp within her soul. Dark humor radiating from her, yet a heart radiating with friendship and kindness.
"um, thanks." Said Raven. Young empath fiddled with her finger thinking about what she could say, feeling rather bored with her boyfriend being busy with stuffing his face with bugs. She shuddered at the disgusting thought.. "when will this be over?" She asked.
Olivia shrugged. "when someone finishes the bugs." She answered calmly, looking at the contestants. "it really isn't bad, it smells like fried chicken."
Raven flinched again. "dear lord, why?" was what crossed her mind. Rethinking her every single decision. She walked away from the stand and sat on a table near Robin. They looked at eachother and said nothing. Utter dead silence and then the sound of their heads falling on the table.
Raven made a mental note to make Gar watch a movie with her as a payment before drifting to a dreamelss slumber.
