Raven grinned. She had him…and it was the best feeling in the world. He lay sleeping on top of her, snoring ever so slightly, lips pressed against her neck. They were lying on the couch, and Raven had just woken up, realizing something was on her neck. It turned out his soft rhythmic breath was the problem.
She took a good look at him, being able to judge his good looks without further hindrance from him. His pointy teeth were bared slightly, because of his open mouth. His ears were in an upward position, indicating his dreams were not bad ones. His body was carelessly tossed next to hers, and they seemed to fit almost perfectly. She noticed his forehead crease in a frown, and did the same. Wonder what's wrong?
She frowned, and noticed his mental pain becoming worse. She wouldn't invade his mind. That was none of her business. Sure, she would read his thoughts, but his imagination and subconscious at work was something she had no right to see. She could make the pain more bearable. She blushed slightly, even though he was asleep and couldn't see anything. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he relaxed slightly. He scooted closer and she gently pressed her lips to his. He began to smile, and opened his eyes to find a very busy Raven.
He kissed her back, keeping his eyes open to see her reaction. Her own eyes opened quickly and she grinned into the kiss. Reluctantly she pulled away, and felt him groan.
"What were you dreaming about? Me?" she teased.
His face grew red, and he mumbled something incoherently. She leaned closer, and put a hand on his chest. He reddened slightly and she leaned into his arms, so that her back was on his chest.
"Yes…It was a dream about you and Terra."
Raven began to pout, because she thought that now that her emotions were haywire, she admitted her love, and had basically made out with him, he wouldn't mention the evil witch.
"She kidnapped you and Star. And we couldn't find you, and when we did it was too late, and-"
Beast Boy broke off, his voice cracking. Turning in his embrace, she placed her head on his shoulder and wrapped her arms around him. She hugged him and pulled back slightly.
"Don't worry about her. It was a dream. That…thing will never bother you again. I'll make sure of it," she said firmly, before pulling him in for a kiss.

Terra stood outside, watching the whole thing with glaring eyes.
That evil little-
"Terra! What are you doing?" Your orders were to stay here and wait for the opportune moment to attack. (AN: JACK SPARROW! 'Try not to do anything stupid.' HEE HEE!)
"Relax Slade. I'm just checking out my competition. And getting some motivation for the battle."
Slade sighed. Even he hadn't realized how screwed up this child was. ( AN:I AM GOING TO BASK TERRA REALLY HARD IN THIS FIC, so…um…yeah…No one messes with my BB.)
"You are not out to kill apprentice. Only to kidnap. After we have the rest of the Titans, after dragging them through torture they can only imagine, after that is when you can have your fun. Until then, you may look, but not touch." Slade's voice was now stern and commanding.
"Whatever Slade. Just make it fast. I can't wait forever."
(AN:I just realized that I've made it seem like the girls wake up and observe the boys, so now I'm gonna do it the other way around. And since Beast Boy is already awake, that only leaves one person…)

Robin opened one eye and realized something that scared him at first.
His mask was missing.
Noticing his arm was wrapped around something, he looked down and relaxed. One thought came to his mind, and he unconsciously put his hand up to trace the lines where his mask used to be.
Starfire
She had seduced him, with her short skirts and long shapely legs. She had done the impossible and had drawn him out of the shell he lived in. He ran a hand through her hair absentmindedly. He was trying to figure out what made him attracted to her.
They were complete opposites, no doubt about that. She was the Yin to his Yang, the light to darkness, the hot to cold, the-well, you get the picture. She balanced him. Yeah, there was the whole opposites attract thing, but well, this was the real world. She was, in a word, perfection. She moved gracefully, spoke beautifully, and was the most gorgeous girl he had ever seen. She was polite, and never cruel.
Well, those were pretty much good reasons to love anyone. Now a more fearsome and pressing matter came to mind. Why does she like me? Me? Of all people, she could have someone much better. She's a beautiful, graceful, wonderful, gorgeous, magnificent princess from another planet. I'm a stuck up kid with lots of money. Sure, I get determined over things, and I kick arse on a regular basis, but is that any reason to like me?
She began to stir, and he caught his breath. What if he had spoken aloud? Her eyes opened, and her green orbs pierced his. She yawned slightly, covering her mouth with her hand. She glanced at the clock and turned to smile at him. Her eyebrows furrowed in thought.
"Were you talking Robin?"
Crap…
"Um…I'm not sure. What did you hear?"
"I heard 'is that any reason to like me'. There are many reasons to like you Robin!" she insisted, raising her voice a little to express her fervor.
He snorted, obviously finding this funny.
"Oh, yeah. Name one thing."
She grinned and took a deep breath.
"You-always-are-there-to-help-us, you-care-deeply-about-the-town-and-your-team, you-are-a-wonderful-leader, you-foolishly-love-me, you-are-very-cute, you-are-very-strong, and-last-but-not-least-you-are-a-good-kisser," she said in one very long sentence.
He blushed and raised one eyebrow carefully.
"Good kisser, huh?"
She nodded vigorously, a pink tint to her cheeks. He smiled and leaned in. He grinned at her excited face as he whispered.
"Lets see if I can get better."

Beast Boy had a feeling. Ok, so he had a lot of feelings. He was happy, he was ecstatic, he was nervous, and even though he knew that he preferred the first two feelings, the third overruled. He should be scared about Raven's powers. He should be worried about what the others would say. But no, he was concerned about a stupid DREAM!
He was upset, and he couldn't get the picture of Terra killing Raven and Starfire out of his head. And ok, he was more terrified of Raven being dead than Starfire, but hey, he just now got her to like him. Plus, Robin could worry for everyone enough over Star.
Wait…I make it sound like they're already dead. Raven is lying right here next to me. Starfire is probably snogging Robin in his room. Mmm…Raven has a nice shampoo. NO BAD BEA-Wait…I can think these thoughts now. I mean, we're basically a couple now right? Right?
Don't ask me…
Are you back again, you stupid subconscious?
Quiet…you'll wake Raven.
Don't tell me-or you…or whatever what to do!
You really are pathetic.
Beast Boy was about to spit back a sarcastic retort about him (whoever he was, wasn't he Beast Boy too…ow…head ache…) being the same person as him, when a new voice entered his mind.
I agree.
RAVEN?
Does your subconscious always fight with you?
You have no idea…
Lets get out of your head…I'm getting goose bumps.
Hahaha…
He felt her pull away and opened his eyes. He grinned sheepishly and looked at her laughingly.
"We've really got to stop meeting like that," he remarked casually.
She nodded, a small smile forming on her mouth.
"I know…I get scared every time I go in there. But at least there's plenty of room to move around in."
Beast Boy was once again about to angrily reply when he caught sight of their surroundings. WOW… he thought in shock. He looked cautiously at Raven and took her chin. He turned her head around so she too could see what had happened.
"Speaking of rooms…"
Raven's eyes widened. Her powers had not spared almost anything. She closed her eyes, tears forming and one drop falling. She felt a hand wipe it away and smiled. She decided to lighten the mood.
"We must have been pretty busy not to notice."
He smiled and said teasingly, "Yeah, we must have…"
She sighed and began to pick up, with him following behind. She used her powers to repair anything glass by melding it together. Beast Boy cleaned up spills from various cups and containers. After a while, the room looked much better. Beast Boy stood next to Raven surveying their handiwork.
"At least you didn't break the TV. Cyborg would have killed you," he said while pulling her onto the couch with him.
She gently pushed him away, grinning a bit.
"Beast Boy…we just got the place picked up!" she said laughingly.
His eyes got round as he looked insulted. "I'm not only in this for the kisses Raven! I just wanted to rest, and maybe talk to you…"
Her face softened and she leaned back, once again with her back against his chest.
"Talk away," she whispered.
(AN: I'm tired of writing FLUFF…going to move on to morning…)

Cyborg ate his bacon tiredly. Something had happened to his wires, so he had stayed up half the night fixing them. The living room, even though it had been carefully concealed, had been trashed. That meant one thing. Raven-
-and Beast Boy walked through the door with a whoosh. They were talking, laughing, and-something that made Cyborg's real eye twitch- holding hands.
As they sat down, Cyborg openly stared at them. Raven was the first to notice.
"What?"
Cyborg continued to stare, until he heard another whoosh and turned to see if it was Robin or Starfire. It was both. They looked normal, and he let out a sigh of relief. Until he saw Robin's mask was gone.
Now Beast Boy and Raven were staring at him. Their eyes got as big as they could go, and a cup exploded. This drew Robin's attention away from Starfire. He raised an eyebrow precariously, then looked at Starfire. She looked confused at first and studied him. Then her eyes too grew wide and she whispered to him.
"Robin…your mask."
He blushed. This sucked. He ran from the room, and almost flying down the hall, with Starfire on his heels. He found his mask, which had been unceremoniously thrown on the floor. He carefully placed it on his face, and turned around. Surprised, he saw Starfire standing…er…floating there, smiling wanly. She grabbed his hand, gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, and pulled him back to the kitchen. The other Titans were pretending nothing had happened, and Robin was grateful. That is until Beast Boy chose to blurt out.
"DANG STARFIRE! YOU GOT HIM TO TAKE OFF HIS MASK? What else did you get him to take off?"
Starfire blushed, Cyborg rolled his eyes, Raven whacked Beast Boy in the head, and Robin glared a death glare at him. Yeah, things were back to normal.
Not.
(HAHAHAHA…I was getting so tired of the fluff. I'm gonna end this chapter now. I guess that's good. –yawn- -hugs Danny- THE READERS KNOW THE PLOT LINE NOW! If you don't…well…um…yeah…
HEY RAPHAEL! -giggle- Baby got back!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…um…yeah…inside joke…right Danny?
Danny: IT WASN'T MY FAULT!
Cheenami: Riiight…)
