The Boy Wonder and Cyborg stared at the scene in front of them, not fully understanding what was going on. Raven was sitting on a stool as still as a statue, her entire body stiff. Her eyes were as wide and round as saucers, and Beast Boy and Starfire were currently trying their best to coax the empath out of her shocked state. "Oh," Starfire nearly cried, "what are we going to do?" They had yet to acknowledge the older Titans' presence.
"I don't know," Beast Boy replied. "Raven," he snapped his fingers in front of her face. "Raven."
"What's going on?" Robin asked, startling the two youngest Titans. Beast Boy and Starfire snapped their heads over to him, and their eyes widened in fear. They both resembled deer in the headlights. If he wasn't so worried, Robin would have laughed. "What'd you guys do to Raven?" Cyborg marched to the still empath and began rubbing his hand in front of her face.
"Nothing," Beast Boy answered quickly with a blush. Robin raised a brow before turning to Starfire. She released an "eep" before placing her hands over her mouth. "We weren't even gone long," Cyborg said as he scanned Raven's body with cybernetics. "She's fine," Cyborg said as he looked at the results on his arm. "She's just stunned."
"What did you two do to Raven?" Robin folded his arms and fixed the younger Titans with a glare.
"Nothing," Beast Boy repeated, his face growing redder. "We didn't do anything to Raven," he stressed.
"What did you do to make her like this?" Robin motioned to Raven with his hand as his patience began wearing thin.
"She…walked in on us," Beast Boy stuttered. Robin glanced at Starfire whose face was also redder than a tomato.
"What do you mean 'in on you'?" Cyborg asked.
"You know…" Beast Boy stared at them. Robin and Cyborg blinked. "Beast Boy," Robin said, rubbing his temples, "elaborate."
"I…she…we…" he sighed. His shoulders than dropped and he said, "Raven walked in on us having sex." Robin and Cyborg didn't react. They silently stared at the two in front of them. "Be serious, Beast Boy," Robin chastised as he looked at the empath who had yet to blink…or move…or speak.
"I am," Beast Boy said, clearly offended.
"Starfire, what happened?" Robin asked. Obviously, he wasn't going to get a clear, serious, or truthful answer from the changeling. Starfire mumbled something. "What?" Robin asked. Starfire mumbled a little louder.
"Starfire," Cyborg said impatiently.
"He'stellingthetruth!" she screeched.
"WHAT!" Cyborg exclaimed. As for Robin, he finally looked around. The couch pillows were on the floor. There was a crack in the coffee table, and very small corner of the couch had been singed. Also, an intimate garment could be seen sticking out from beneath a couch cushion as if someone was trying to hide – Robin gulped as he felt his face redden. "They're telling the truth," Robin stated.
"WHAT!" Cyborg exclaimed again. "Did you lose a bet, Starfire? Is he blackmailing you?"
"Hey," Beast Boy whined.
"And on the couch?" Cyborg said angrily as the two finally had the decency to look embarrassed, "we're burning it. We're burning the couch."
"It's not our fault Raven interrupted us," Beast Boy complained. "She came in through the floor with her head in a book. That's on her."
"Enough!" Robin snapped. "Cyborg, we can…process this later. For now, we need to rouse Raven. And you two should just…I don't even know what you two should do but leave for now." Starfire scurried away as Beast Boy turned into a cheetah, following close behind.
"How do we wake her?" Robin asked Cyborg.
"A wet-willy?" Cyborg suggested.
"She'd kill us."
"True. I don't know. Incense?"
"Raven!" Robin clapped in front of her face. "Raven!"
"Not working."
"Let me try something else," Robin said. Placing both hands on Raven's temple and leaning his forehead against her chakra stone, he softly whispered her name. "Raven," he whispered. Robin heard a sharp intake of breath come from the empath. He slowly backed away. Cyborg stared at him quizzically before asking, "What the heck was that?"
"Uh…she showed me that."
"When?" Cyborg demanded.
"After the whole Slade thing."
"Uh-huh," Cyborg looked at him skeptically as Raven slowly came to herself. "And she's back," Cyborg announced proudly. "What happened, dark girl?" he asked as Robin disappeared into the kitchen before reappearing with a bottle of water in his hand, which he handed to Raven. Raven took it shakily and gratefully, taking a huge gulp. "So…?" Cyborg urged, "what happened?"
"I – I was just…and they were just…on the couch," Raven's face grew a shade paler, if that was even possible.
"Beast Boy and Starfire were really…with each other?" Cyborg asked. "When did that happen?"
"How did that happen?" Robin muttered.
"He is green…everywhere," Raven stated, her eyes still glazed over. Robin smirked at her reaction while Cyborg said, "Starfire and Beast Boy? Huh. I didn't know he had it in him."
"I'm never going to unsee that," Raven said.
"I told you phasing through floors while reading would come back to bite you one day," Robin smirked. Raven slowly turned her head to him and fixed him with a glare. "But Starfire and Beast Boy?" Cyborg repeated. "Were they doing it correctly?" he asked Raven.
"What?" Raven replied.
"You know. Did Beast Boy seem to know what he was doing?" Cyborg asked. Raven pursed her lips. "I'm just curious," Cyborg continued, "he's so…Beast Boy."
"I didn't stand there and watch, Cyborg," Raven bit out angrily.
"I didn't say you did," Cyborg threw his hands up in surrender, "I just can't imagine Starfire with Beast Boy. And how are you so calm?" Robin turned to their leader. Robin shrugged. "Don't tell me you knew something was between them," Cyborg huffed.
"Maybe," Robin stated nonchalantly.
"I hate you," Cyborg replied.
"What's more important is that a lesson was learned here today," Robin turned to Raven with a smirk. "Right, Raven?" Raven stood up from the chair and turned to Robin. Before either male could react, Raven put her hand against both of their temples as her eyes glowed black. "Ahhh!" Cyborg screamed, rubbing at his eyes.
"What the hell, Raven!" Robin dug his fists into his eyes.
"Make it stop!" Cyborg exclaimed. "Make it stop!"
"I was kidding!" Robin exclaimed.
"I need to wash my eyes out," Cyborg cried.
"Why would you do that?" Robin began hitting his head, trying to get the image of the amorous couple out of his head.
"Don't worry about why," Raven stated mockingly, "the important thing is that a lesson was learned here today." And with that, she teleported to her room to meditate the memory of her teammates' butts away.
Hours later, when the sun was just beginning to set, Raven knocked on Robin's door. "Come in," she heard his gruff voice say. Raven phased through his door. Robin was sprawled out on his bed, throwing a ball in the air. He looked over at Raven with his bright blue eyes. "Hey," he greeted her, sitting up.
"Hey," Raven replied with a blush. "Um…how's your head?"
"Well," Richard began, "I will never be able to look Beast Boy or Starfire in the eye. And you were right, he really is green everywhere." Raven gave him a small smile before walking over to him. Richard watched her curiously. Once she was at his bedside, Raven put a hand on his temple, and her eyes flashed black. Suddenly, the memory of Beast Boy and Starfire having sex in the common room was gone. No matter how hard he tried, Richard couldn't remember it. "You took it away," he said.
"Yeah," Raven sat on his bed. "I decided to do the mature thing."
"The mature thing?" Richard asked with a raised brow. "Cyborg?"
"I'll get him tomorrow," Raven shrugged.
The two sat in a comfortable silence. "So," Raven said after several moments, "did you really know they were sneaking around?" she asked.
"Nope," Richard answered, "I didn't have a clue. It wasn't even on my radar."
"Well, don't tell them that."
"And have Beast Boy lord it over me for the rest of my life?" Richard scoffed, "no, thank you. It can be our little secret."
"Do you think it was their first time…together?"
"I'm too scared to ask," Richard answered. "Did Cyborg burn the couch?"
"He didn't burn it, but I'm pretty sure it's at the bottom of the ocean."
"Garth is going to be pissed," Richard smiled. Raven agreed. "But," Raven began, "if it wasn't their first time together, how long have they been doing it? And how did they manage to keep it a secret?"
"All good questions," Richard smiled. "I'm actually a little jealous."
"Jealous?" Raven cocked her head to the side. "What do you mean?" The next thing, Raven was on her back. "Oof," she said. Richard was now on top of her. Raven stared into his blue eyes as she felt her cheeks heat. "I thought I was the only one good at secret relationships," Richard said as he moved a strand of hair from her face.
"Hey," Raven protested, "I think I've done a pretty good job keeping my mouth shut about us." Richard didn't respond. He slowly traced Raven's eyes, nose, and lips. "Do you ever think about not keeping us a secret?" Raven asked breathlessly as her heart beat sped up as he began caressing her throat.
"All the time," Richard whispered. "Don't get me wrong, stealing kisses in dark corners and sneaking around is fun. But sometimes I just want to shout it from the top of Titan's Tower."
"Well, we could tell them," Raven suggested as Richard gently traced her jaw.
"We could," he agreed.
"But not now," Raven said.
"Not now," he smiled as he rested his forehead on hers.
"Tomorrow?" Raven asked as they rubbed noses.
"Tomorrow," Richard agreed once more before softly brushing his lips against hers.
"Tomorrow," Raven stated as she pressed their lips together firmly. Richard claimed her lips passionately as his hands roamed her body. "Two full moons in one day," he joked in between kisses.
"And I'm done," Raven pushed Richard off of her.
"I'm kidding," Richard laughed, "I'm sorry."
"Nope," Raven began scooting off the bed, "I'm done." Richard grabbed her arm with a laugh and pulled her back to him. "I'm sorry," he laughed. "I'm sorry. That was the last one, I promise." Raven leaned back against him with a small pout. "I'm done," he kissed the top of her head. "I promise."
"No problem," Raven sighed as she snuggled deeper into her boyfriend and closed her eyes, "I can always help you remember the two moons."
