Disclaimer: I don't own the song 'Shame on Me' by Ryan Cabrera. Also I don't own Teen Titans or any of its characters. I do own how Red X looks without his mask on though, so there!
Shame on Me
The Teen Titans grumbled as they entered their home. The angriest was by far Robin, who as soon as he entered stormed up to his room to brood on the mission. They had tried to capture the new Red X again. Obviously they had failed. Starfire floated up after their leader with her head bowed. Cyborg and Beast Boy sat on the couch and stared at the blank TV in frustration.
Raven watched this happen before she used her powers to faze to the bathroom attached to her room. After locking the door to the room just in case, she unclasped her cloak and tossed it to the side. Raven turned her attention to the full length mirror beside her. Her reflection stared back at her and she sighed.
She was confused. Red X had been acting odd from the beginning and what happened after he'd floored her teammates was the icing on the cake as far as odd goes. Raven looked away from the mirror and wrapped her arms around herself. A guiltily shiver danced up and down her back.
He had touched her. It was a slight stroke a crossed her waist and down her left hip. He had leaned in as if to kiss her but her powers kicked in and she had thrown him a crossed the room.
She leaned against the wall and traced the path his fingers had taken over and over again. Never once did she get even the slightest bit close to how it felt when he had touched her. Raven growled in frustration. How could he have affected her this way? He was a thief! This wasn't supposed to happen. Red X wasn't supposed to have this... this power over her!
Raven shook her head and walked to the bathtub. She turned the hot water tap on and sat at the edge of the tub, waiting for it to fill. Her mind wandered to a topic she'd been putting off thinking about for awhile now. Her demonic instincts would be surfacing in a week. Raven couldn't for the life of her figure out what would happen if she told the other Titans. Starfire would be overjoyed, even though she didn't understand what Raven meant. That she was at lest sure of.
She turned off the tap and stripped out of her leotard. After tossing the article of clothing aside, she slipped into the steaming bathwater. Raven sighed and rested her head on the far end of the tub. The steam wrapped around her and cleared her head of everything. Everything other than Red X that is. A frown graced her pouty lips as she skimmed her fingers a crossed the path his had taken.
How could he do this to her? She was untouchable, at lest she was supposed to be. She growled and glared at the foggy haze around her. She wrapped her powers around the dial of her stereo as she turned it on. A song she faintly recognized as one of Ryan Cabrera's flowed from the speakers softly.
I know you wanna talk
And tell me about your day
But I keep wandering off
Oooh how you hair
Falls in front of your face
While you try to keep it up
I've always paid attention to your point of view
But now I want to focus on the rest of you
Shame on me wanting you
The way I fantasize about
What I'd give, what I'd do
I just want to work you out
Times like this I'm so glad that you can't read my mind
Shame on me another time
Please don't walk away
I'm only drifting 'cause you look so good tonight
Now that we're alone it's so hard to listen
You know you got me mesmerized
I've always paid attention to your point of view
But now I want to focus on the rest of you
Shame on me wanting you
The way I fantasize about
What I'd give, what I'd do
I just want to work you out
Times like this I'm so glad that you can't read my mind
Shame on me another time
When the song ended she frowned farther. The song didn't help her at all. In fact it just made her crave Red X's touch. Raven sighed forcefully and stood up letting the bathwater splash over the sides of the tub and onto the floor. Beads of water dripped down her skin as she stepped out. She dried off and drained the water from the tub. Without any thoughts of what could happen, she slipped into her bed and fell asleep.
She woke up to the slight pressure of another body beside her. Turning her head in the direction of the pressure, she came face to face with a somewhat unfamiliar face. The boy's dark cerulean hair fell a crossed his forehead. As she blinked the sleep from her eyes she began to notice that this boy looked shockingly similar to Aqualad. The cheekbones and nose where the same but this boy's lips where more... Raven couldn't find a word to describe it. Unwillingly, she noticed that Aqualad was a bit more built up than this boy.
The boy shifted and draped his arm over her waist. She glanced down and nearly screamed. This boy was Red X! And she had compared him to Aqualad, who had to be one of the most attractive men she'd ever seen. Red X's eyes opened and pale gray eyes stared at her in an amused manner.
His eyes trailed down my face and lower still until his gaze drifted lower than her collarbone. His pale eyes widened and were quickly shifted else where. After a moment Raven found her voice,
"What are you doing here?" Her voice rang out harshly in the cold silence of her dark room.
"I... I... I don't..." His voice wavered. He turned his gaze back to her. "I don't like to share. And I'm not about to start sharing with a fish-boy."
