Una habla entre las chicas
A few days passed before anything major happened. Raven managed to survive Tear's other two visits where he miraculously got rid of her migraines and spoon-fed her a soup that got rid of her stomach cramps. The entire process had made Raven slacken her guard ever so slightly around him since he was just helping her out but she didn't forget the first morning.
Apart from that and another bank robbery everything was calm and quiet. Well almost calm and quiet. Beast Boy had decided to try and learn to play acoustic guitar and until Robin had a room soundproofed everyone had constantly yelled at Beast Boy to "Turn it down!" Everyone but Tear who seemed to have an ear for music and had offered his services as a teacher. "To take some of the dull boredom of guarding a child." Was Tear's explanation. Even with a few hours a day working with Beast Boy Tear seemed to spend a lot of time just standing in the background as always.
It was during one of Tear's lessons when Starfire decided to sneak into Raven's room and force some "girl talk" out of the dark girl.
"Raven?" Starfire called out as she entered the dimly lit room.
"Hmm?" Raven replied. She had been meditating but if Starfire had come to her room Raven knew something must be up. "What is it Starfire?"
"Can we have some 'girl talk?'" Star asked the room. Since Raven was meditating in a dark corner of her room Star had not seen her.
Raven sighed. "Sure." she agreed reluctantly as she floated over to the bed. The two girls sat on Raven's bed in silence for a few moments before Raven began to get annoyed. "What's bothering you so much that we need to talk about it?" Raven asked Star in a slightly irritated voice.
"Hmm? Oh sorry friend Raven, it is just that what I have to ask is a little embarrassing and I was thinking of how to phrase it." Starfire explained.
"I see." Raven said in monotone.
More silence came between the two girls.
"It's about Robin isn't it?" Raven asked to try and prompt the taller girl.
"Yes." Star replied sporting a light blush.
'Great, she wants love advice.' Raven thought to herself. "What about Robin?"
Starfire let out an audible breathe before deciding to go head long into her question. "As you know Robin and I have been getting…closer together." Starfire began.
Raven just nodded. Robin and Starfire had been caught so many times in hallways or even just during the evening movies or anywhere in public cuddling and touching and kissing that everyone, press, nation and world included, knew that Star and Robin were a couple.
"Yes." Raven prompted again.
"Well, he's made a few…gestures and I would like to, how do you say it, return the favor." Starfire explained.
Raven's face remained calm and collected but inside her mind was racing. It didn't take a genius to figure out what those gestures were but Raven had even less experience then Starfire in that field and so Raven was going over all the stupid girl magazines that she had glimpsed at trying to remember something useful.
"What kind of gestures?" Raven asked to buy herself more time.
Starfire's face flushed a deep red. "Well, we've been sleeping together."
Raven raised an eyebrow.
"I mean that we sleep in the same bed, in each other's arms. We haven't had…" Starfire rambled off quickly.
"Continue." Raven told the very nervious and embarrassed alien girl.
"Well Robin's been really nice and going very slow. Just the other night he" Starfire continued.
"No details!" Raven said hastily.
"He made a move and I would like to do something for him. Nothing big but something that he would like." Starfire finished.
'Great, full circle as per normal.' Raven thought. "Well, ah, what have you done with him so far? Don't be graphic about this either cause I don't want to know." Raven instructed Star.
"Well I've let him caress my butt and I've let him take off my nightgown every night." Star told Raven who raised her eyebrow once again. "I have undergarments on." Star added and the eyebrow went back down.
"Have you let him, um, touch you anywhere else other then your ass?" Raven asked somewhat uncomfortably. She could not believe she was having this conversation with Starfire.
"No." Star answered in a small voice.
"Then perhaps, if you're comfortable with it, you could encourage him to, uh, touch you in other places." Raven suggested very uneasily.
"I suppose." Starfire replied before silence fell between them once more. Starfire was thinking of where she could let Robin "touch" her without going too fast. Raven was trying to think of a way to get out of this conversation.
"Do you think Robin would like to touch, how do you call it? My breasts?" Starfire asked Raven putting the dark girl on a new level of uneasiness.
'Don't you see how extremely awkward this conversation is?' Raven wanted to scream at Starfire but asked a rhetorical question that she hoped would close this little talk. "What boy doesn't want to do that?"
"I've heard Beast Boy and Cyborg talking before and they say that boys like girls with bigger breasts. Mine are not all that large." Starfire said in a sad plaintive voice.
Raven became self-conscious despite herself. "Stop complaining, at least you buy a large size of bra than I do. Besides no boy Robin's age, or any age for that matter, would turn down the chance to feel up a girl." Raven said with an edge of discomfort and irritation in her voice.
Sensing that Starfire thanked Raven for her advice and left Raven alone to tend to her thoughts.
Raven lay on her bed for a few moments trying to get over the very odd conversation that had just transpired in her room before she got up and looked at her reflection in the mirror.
"What I said was true, wasn't it? No boy could resist a girl right? But what if that girl was me? Who would want to be with me?" Raven asked her reflection. In the back of her mind she wondered faintly if her breasts were too small for Tear's taste.
"Why am I thinking of him? He's an arrogant bastard who gives a bad name to arrogant bastards everywhere! He's pompous, smug…" Raven told her reflection.
'He's handsome, dark, mysterious, powerful, caring, saved your life twice…' Raven's conscious rambled off a list of reasons why Raven would think of him. 'And he's a very powerful Demon himself.'
What her conscious had reminded Raven about Tear was all true and once again she found her mind wondering if she did have a chance to catch such a hard man. The fact that she had become very distant and a cold person made Raven doubt her chances, which she counted as very slim to begin with.
A/N: Thanks for all the reviews, this story is actually beginning to pick up a few more fans and the reviews that I love so much. Maybe, just maybe, I can break 100 with this one but that's a ways to go since 50 isn't broken and this is chapter 13!
The title for this is Una habla entre las chicas which means A Talk between the Girls.
Chao
LockDown over and out…
