Gulping, and rubbing the back of his neck, Beast Boy waited at the Jump City air-port, for his girlfriend's plan to arrive, all the way from good ol' London, England. Well, you couldn't really call her his girlfriend, seeing as she had dumped him before she left, saying it was 'for the best . . .' because of her 'future life-style'. But now, she had e-mailed him, telling him she would be coming to Jump City to see HIM! And apparently, she had forgotten that she had dumped him, for she had called him her BOYFRIEND.
Rubbing his temples, Beast Boy concluded that female homosapians were the STRANGEST things on earth. "My God," he murmured to himself. "They're so . . . MOODY."
Of course, he was inviting her to stay at the tower not only out of good etiquete, but because of the fact that he was going to, in general, use her. When Raven had 'attempted' to crush his heart by going out on a date with that Chad-dude, Beast Boy had finally matured the rest of the way, or so it seemed. His ideal vision of maturity was that he had to become a man. In his eyes, a man was a being that picked fights on streets, started moshes at concerts, and always ate meat with every meal.
Well, he could cross out the last part, because there was no way, not in Heaven or HELL, that he would EVER ingest meat while in a state of entire consciousness. No way. Not even if anyone payed him, not even if it meant sleeping with Raven for one gorgeous night. Okay . . . so he might reconsider if offered the last one . . .
Sighing under his breath, Beast Boy smiled to himself, remembering the good times that he had had with Jillian when they were younger. In Junior High, he had always admired her from afar, and had developed the need to change his personality and external looks to achieve good friends and pretty, popular girlfriends. It worked for him, seeing as Jillian asked him out a school dance eventually.
Ah, Jillian . . . she was the most beautiful girl in the world that he had ever had the pleasure of laying eyes on . . . besides Raven. But Raven was different. Raven was the SEXIEST girl he had ever seen, and also the most GORGEOUS. Gorgeous and beautiful were two very different adjectives, even if they both leaned towards the same direction. But Jillian was so innocent, with her cerulean blue eyes and fair blonde hair, along with her easily tannable skin. Raven was definitely the more dark, mysteriously secluded type that Beast Boy had recently joined in favor of.
He wondered how different Jillian was, now . . . Maybe she was the same, or maybe she dyed her hair red or something . . . or maybe she was a GOTH! Or . . . maybe she was preppier than ever. Who knew?
It had broken his heart, though, when at age 14, Jillian had broken the news to him that her father was sending her to finishing school. Beast Boy had gone through a stage of denial, then joined the Titans, and gone through more denial once Terra had betrayed them. The biggest reason he EVER had been attracted to Terra was because she had blonde hair and blue eyes, generally. And she also had laughed at all of his jokes, just like Jill.
However, Jillian had done something for Beast Boy that he never told ANYONE before. It was a secret, though it was something that Raven might think was wrong, and horrible, while Cyborg would have been all for it. Robin might have kicked him off the team for it, (By some stretch of the imagination, he had thought of it), and Starfire would probably be mortified, seeing as what he and Jillian did was looked upon as something so spiritual, it was only reserved for certain periods of time in Tamaranian life cycles on her planet.
He had slept with Jillian.
Rubbing his sweating palms together, the announcement that Beast Boy had been anticipating, ("Flight 143 from London, England has arrived"), boomed over the intercom, sending more sweat beadlets forming all over his body. He gulped again, tugging at the collar of his fading Green Day shirt, and smoothed his baggy jeans, making sure that his shoe-laces were tied correctly. Thank God that they were . . .
5 minutes passed, as the Changeling shuffled his feet, waiting anxiously. Finally, there was a shrill, "GARFY!" that echoed all over the rather large air-port. Now, since he doubted that there could possibly be another person in the building who had the same name as him, and since practically no one except a few choice people, (one of which was Jillian) knew his real name, he whirled around, coming face-to-face with . . . "Oh my God . . ." he murmured.
Could it be?
Naw! Impossible!
But . . .
There was a girl, with Jillian's eye-shape and color, standing before him, dressed in an off the shoulder pink and black sweater and a black mini-skirt, with combat boots and . . . He shuddered. Candy pink hair. Beast Boy had his eyes shut tight, until he opened one slightly. "Jillian?" he asked, unsure.
"Yep!" came the over-preppy, posered-out reply, as the girl threw her arms around him. He cringed, as Raven's face popped into his clear mental view, (From when she had glomped him that one night after that whole Malchior/Rorek ordeal) but his face hardened slightly as he pried the punk poser girl off of him.
"Right uhh . . . you look . . . pink," he told her, eyebrows raising as he took a good look at her.
Jillian shrugged, smiling up at him slyly. "Hey! You turned green, I turned pink. We're even, now."
He blinked, trying to make sense of it, but nodded, sliding an arm around her waist. "Let's go to the tower . . ." he suggested.
"Well, at least Robin let me go . . ." Cyborg told himself softly, while sitting in the T-Car innn . . . traffic. He groaned, rubbing his eyes. He had already driven for 6 hours straight, and now it was 12:30 P.M. Well . . . it was 1:30 P.M. now, seeing as he had just now entered Mountain Time.
It had taken a lot of convincing for the masked wonder to finally agree that Cyborg needed a little bit of time off, as well as quite a few death threats from Cyborg to Robin about how this was his last chance to make things right inside of him. But now, the android was WELL on his way!
. . . Sort of . . . if you didn't count the fact that he wasn't moving because of this stupid rush hour traffic . . .
"So this is OUR house," Beast Boy said, leading Jillian into the Main Room after they had arrived home. Jillian lowered the spiffy skull purse she had dangling in her hands, and spun around in a big circle, giggling preppily.
"My God . . ." Beast Boy muttered inaudibly under his breath. "She shoulda just stayed a friggin' prep."
Jillian ran back over to Beast Boy, throwing her arms around him. "Oh GAR!" she squealed. "It's so . . . BIG! And and and . . . BIG!"
"That's not the only thing that's big . . ." Beast Boy said sneakily, wiggling his eyebrows. Jillian only continued to giggle, and BB regretted he had said that, seeing as RAVEN was the only girl he would ever consider doing anything like that with.
Speaking of Raven . . .
x-x-x
Adjusting her crow necklace, Raven looked at her reflection in the non-magical mirror in her bedroom awkwardly, tilting her head at all angles, and then sighing. "This is as good as it's gonna get," she concluded, combing her hair very lightly, as if not to disturb her perfect hair, which she had styled to look like Yuna's from Final Fantasy, (A/N: WHICH I DON'T OWN! I just think Yuna looks cool.)
Then, smoothing her black corset dress thinger, she spritzed perfume on her wrists, and walked out of the room, wearing 3 inch tall heels.
. . . Which proved to be bad. Very bad. As she suddenly tripped over her own feet, and went flying. "OOF."
After landing in a heap in front of the elevator, and having her perfect hair become tousled a bit, she stood up, smoothing her dress and sighing. "Let's just pretend that never happened," she muttered, descending into the elevator to enter the living room.
x-x-x-
"Wow! So do you guys, like, get PAID for fighting evil peoples?" Jillian asked, twirling a pink lock of hair around her index finger, seemingly fascinated by the subject.
"Well, yeah," Beast Boy replied, leaning back against the sofa, and rubbing his palms together awkwardly. Jillian wasn't so . . . appealing anymore. Before, when he was younger, and they had been madly in love and even more so corrupted by hormones, he had been head-over-HEELS in love with her. He would sell the world and give her all of the profits, even though that was more than impossible. But now, he seemed . . . jaded from her.
The little voice inside of his head whispered: 'Because now there's RAVEN.'
Pushing it out of his attention, Beast Boy shot Jillian a sweet smile. "So . . . anything you wanna do?" he questioned.
"Anything," Jillian replied in her mock-goth voice; a voice that made Beast Boy cringe lightly. Only RAVEN could really pull off a voice like that, not some poser.
The doors to the living room opened, just as Jillian had leaned in to lock her lips with his, wearing a sneaky grin. Beast Boy jumped back, out of surprise, and as his face became dead-pan as he looked over at the door.
Raven stood there, bent over and trying to adjust the straps of her heels. Jillian's eyebrows raised, and she whispered to Beast Boy, "Who's she?"
"Oh, that's Raven," he replied softly. "She lives with us . . . we're just friends."
"Damn the creator of heels . . ." Raven cursed under her breath, rising and looking at Beast Boy and Jillian with an arched eyebrow. "Uhm, hi."
Jillian waved, eyeing Raven suspiciously like a predator's gaze upon prey. The introvert didn't seem to really notice, or understand, because she clumsily stumbled into the kitchen, opening the fridge and pulling out a pitcher of cooled herbal tea, which may sound gross to some, but hey, it was Raven.
"Oh, Beast Boy," Raven called over to the green Changeling, who was flushing at her appearance. "We need more tea."
"And you're telling me this why?" Beast Boy inquired, catching Jillian's suspicious eye.
"Because you're the only one who's going to be home. Therefore, it's your duty to go to the store," Raven replied simply, setting the pitcher down and turning her backside to Beast Boy, while the green Titan tried forcefully to tear his stare away from it, instead implanting it on Jillian's queer hair.
Jillian slumped down into the couch, listening in on their conversation.
"But I'm busy," Beast Boy told Raven. "I have a visitor, and I AIN'T going to drag her around Jump City to get your little 'necessities', which you can get by yourself."
Shocked slightly by the edge of his answer, Raven turned around, gripping her cup of freshly poured tea. "Robin needs things too."
"Well, that's spiffy for him." He squared his shoulders, folding an arm across his lap, while the other arm slid behind Jillian's neck, stroking it.
"Who's she?" Raven asked, using her mug to point at Jillian, who shot Raven a look saying 'Don't mess with me', which BB luckily did not see.
Beast Boy's eyes rolled. "My girlfriend, duh," he said in an annoyed tone, as if Raven were the most immature creature on earth.
"Since when did you have a girlfriend?" Rae's eyebrows raised, eyes glinting curiously.
"Since I gave up on the last girl I liked," he shot at her in a slight snarl, causing chills to run up Raven's spine, and she did her best not to stare. She now felt a new feeling inside . . . similar to anger, but also to sadness. It was setting her insides on fire, and made her feel . . . ashamed.
Knitting her eyebrows together, she turned away, setting her cup down roughly. "Well, good luck with then."
"Thank you," Beast Boy said through gritted teeth, kissing Jillian's jaw-line. Raven turned back, watching as if mesmerized, and forced her eyes away. This new feeling inside sent a pang of hurt roaring throughout her insidses, and it was just too much.
Jillian giggled softly, eyes closing peacefully as the green Titan teased her skin.
Raven growled under her breath, and her dark magic grew out of control from denial of what this feeling really was, sending the windows shattering, as the glass shards flew around in a circular vortex motion. The demonic side got the better of her, whispering 'Kill them all . . . Let your rage consume you . . .' But she couldn't give in, or could she? Rage tugged on the arms of her conscience, and the shards flew towards Jillian and Beast Boy, as a demonic grin spread across her lips, eyes glowing black, yet flickering sparks of red.
A scream came, and a shout, and that was enough to knock her out of the moment, as her eyes shot open, glow fading to normal, and widening, as the shards fell to the floor, letting a cool breeze sweep in through the shattered window. A gasp escaped her lips. "Oh no . . ." she murmured, hand flying to her mouth.
Jillian sobbed into Beast Boy's chest, as his arms wrapped around her and held her close, laying his head on her shoulder. Raven watched, feeling emotion tear at her insides, and for the first time in a long while, she wanted to give in to the child-like girl who hid within her, and she wanted to cry.
Beast Boy's hand and arm were bleeding, as well as Jillian's cheek and arms as well, cut not TOO deeply, but enough to cause blood leakage. Beast Boy's eyes opened and fixtated onto Raven in a savage-like glare. "Nice job, Raven," he snarled. "You're a screw-up, okay? That's all you are, and all you ever will be." As soon as he had said that, the pain from his wounds disappeared, and a new kind of pain swept over him. Regret. He didn't mean for it to come out so brutally, especially now that he saw her expression.
She shrank back, turning away quickly as the cup fell crashing to the floor, and she hurried out the door, trying to stop the tears that were stinging at her eyes uncomfortably.
As the doors then closed, and everything in the tower was quiet, Raven melted into the wall, slowly shrinking in size until she sat at the foot of it, next to the door, hugging her knees. Her eyes shut tightly, and she felt foolish. Why the hell was she crying?
'You're a screw up, okay? That's all you are, and all you ever will be.'
His words stung. A lot.
Wiping the wettened rims of her eyes, she sighed sadly. He was right. But he was over her. He wouldn't come back and hug her. He wouldn't kiss her. He HATED her. He had someone new.
But why should he come comfort her anyway? After all she had done to him. She tricked him, and tried to make him jealous, and treated his feelings His FEELINGS, which were the most valuable thing in the world to her, like they were the world's largest pile of shit. Forget this date with Chad.
Maybe she shouldn't have taken Cyborg's advice . . . because now Beast Boy was playing the same game with her. And finally, she gave in, and stopped denying the new emotion that had already begun tearing her apart.
Jealousy.

Starfire and Robin sat on Star's bed upstairs, just holding hands and staring into eachother's eyes. Robin reached out slowly, and tucked a stray lock of hair behind Star's ear, leaning in and kissing her cheek.
Is it obvious that they had sex the night before?
Starfire closed her eyes, stroking her boyfriend's neck. "Hmmm . . ." She sighed blissfully. "Robin?" she asked softly.
"Yeah?" he asked, laying his head under her chin.
"Do you think that we . . . how you say, 'rushed' our activities last night?" she asked worriedly, brow knit together in worry.
"I don't know," he replied truthfully. "But . . ." he sat up, turning the tables by taking her into his arms, stroking her hair, "It's something I've been waiting to do for YEARS."
Smiling, Starfire leaned up, kissing him lightly on the lips. Then her eyes lit up. "Robin!"
"Yes?" he questioned, glancing down at her.
"What if there is to be a baby!" she squealed happily.
Robin's jaw dropped, un-masked eyes widening. "Oh shit."
"What is of the matter?" she asked, eyebrow raising.
"Starfire . . . We made a mistake. You're right. We DID rush into things," he said quickly, running his hand slowly through his thick dark hair.
Starfire blinked. "What do you mean?"
"I'm not ready for a kid . . ." Robin told her honestly, shaking his head. "I'm so sorry. I really love you, but"
"What if there IS to be a child?" she asked softly.
"Then I'll stay beside you the whole time. Just because I'm not ready doesn't mean I would ever leave you alone like that." Robin lowered his hand from his hair, massasging Starfire's naked back.
Both of them remained quiet, thinking silently about what could lie ahead in the near future.
x-x-x A Week Later x-x-x
Cyborg held a McDonald's egg McMuffin in his right hand, steering with his left as he cruised past a sign saying 'WELCOME TO STEEL CITY!'. Exhausted from his journey, yet also excited, he pulled onto the local highway, awaiting the moment when he would knock on Jinx's door, wave at her, and then sweep her up into his arms movie-star style, and kiss her passionately.
Sighing happily, he stuffed the McMuffin into his mouth, chewing and swallowing. It was at nervous times like these when he ate. A lot. But he tried relaxing, only to become spooked by thoughts of 'what ifs', like 'What if she's married?', 'What if she thinks you're a dorkwad?', 'What if she tells you it's too late?', or 'What if she tells you to go home?'
Drumming his fingers on the steering wheel anxiously, he drove into the local neighborhoods sections, pulling out his scrap of notebook paper with her street scribbled down. In his small, squished scrawl, it said: 'South Street, Steel City'. He adjusted the holograph ring on his finger, and then slowed down his speed, examining the street signs.
"Hmmmm . . . North South Street . . . Hmmm . . . East East street . . . What the hell is with the compass directions?"
Finally, his heart skipped a beat as he saw 'South Street'. He eagerly pulled onto it, driving along the busy New York-styled streets. There was a bakery, and a floral shop, and the whole thing just reminded him of 'Hey Arnold!'. Then, there was an apartment building, saying '1337 South Street Apartments'. (A/N: Kudos to those who know what 1337 means. XDD You smart, smart people.)
He parked in front of it, stepping out and opening the door slowly.
Cyborg slid in, which was hard, seeing as his large size was, well, sizey . . . and he saw a large hall of apartments loom before him. He examined the doors, seeing first and last names plastered onto the doors.
'Bobbington, Bob'
'Dover, Ben'
'Choke, Arta'
'Hex, Esmerelda'
Cy did a double-take.
The last name brought him back to the days at the HIVE with a quick flashback.
Jinx doodled on her notebook, not paying attention to Brother Blood's lesson. Stone glanced over her shoulder at the doodle, which was of a heart saying 'J and S Forever'.
"Nice drawing," he complimented her in a whisper, flashing a smile. She blushed lightly, and then her name tore them back to reality.
'Ms. Hex, would you tell me how to make a chromite . . . .'
Immediately, Cyborg knocked on the door, anxiously awaiting.
The door opened slowly, and there stood the woman he loved, as she gasped, eyes widening. "Cyborg . . ."
x-x-x Back in Titans Tower, Another Week Later x-x-x
Raven was sick of it all.
The punk-wanna-be preppy girl swooping in on HER territory, taking Beast Boy's heart with her, and acting like she owned Raven, while Robin and Starfire hardly were apart, and acted like there was a scorpion up their butt, being all secretive, and BEAST BOY, getting all googly eyed at Jillian, but sending mixed messages back to Raven every day by winking at her, or smirking, or smiling in that strange way of his that made her just wanna KISS him.
It was making her all stressed out, and it was beginning to slack her concentration, seeing as now she couldn't even meditate healthily anymore, giving her a head full of racing thoughts, and a bout of moodiness. One minute, she wanted to slit Beast Boy's throat, the next, she wanted to screw him in her own personal bathroom's luxury bath-tub.
It was sickening. It was horrible. It was strange. Why would he look at her that way? Didn't he knew that she was crazy over him, and that she just wished his little 'revenge' game would end?
Today was no different. She sat on the couch, her novelized version of 'The Crow' spread across her lap, attempting to read. But the obnoxious giggles, moans, and cries of 'Oh Gar!' were starting to really get to her. Her eye twitched, when the giggles got louder, and when someone kicked the book off of her lap.
"Oopsies!" Came Jillian's annoying voice, as she started giggling again. Raven slowly turned to face the blonde-pink-head, who was laying on her back, her ugly feet touching Raven's thighs. She shuddered, but jealousy exploded within her when she saw Beast Boy kissing her, and tickling her limbs at the same time.
Raven lashed out her arm, grabbing Beast Boy by the shoulder. "Restrain your girlfriend, please," she implored dryly, rising and bending over to pick up her book. With Jillian's eyes closed, she couldn't see how an animal-like grin had spread across Beast Boy's face, as he pictured drool trickling down his chin. Raven's ass; probably the 9th wonder of the world, after Raven, herself. Her jeans were tight, so when she bent down, they slid down, and that shrunken Misfits shirt she had on slid forward onto her front, exposing her pale-fleshed back. He licked his lips, but as soon as Raven snapped up, he went back to kissing the oblivious Jillian.
x-x-x
"Is it positive?"
Robin stood outside Starfire's bafroom door, waiting for a response. All he got was silence though. "Star? Starfire? Comon, open up."
The door opened just enough for Starfire, on the other side, to slide the stick through. Robin took one look, and did a double-take. "Oh my God," he murmured, sweat beginning to form.
"Oh, Robin . . ." The door opened, and there stood a teary-eyed Starfire. "I apologize."
"No, no, no, it was an accident, Star," Robin assured her, sliding the stick into his jean pocket. He stepped forward and hugged the red-headed girl. "This is great!"
"It" Star sniffed, "Is?"
"Yeah!" Robin tried to look on the bright side as he held his girlfriend. "Our own kid . . ." His hand traveled down the front of Starfire's chest, down to the area above her bladder and uterus. "Our very own kid," he repeated, mesmerized.
She beamed through tears. "Oh, Robin!" She held the 'Boy' wonder against her, smiling as she cried. "I am so happy that you are not angered."
"Angered?" His eyebrows raised, then furrowed. "Starfire, don't think things like that. How could I EVER be mad at you?"
His reply was a set of sniffs, and he stroked her back like a kitten, kissing her forehead. "I love you."
She looked up at him, grinning. "I love you too. We must tell our friends!"
He nodded in agreement, hiding the pure shock inside of him as he turned off the bathroom light, leading Starfire into the elevator, and into the Living Room.
Robin almost grimaced when he saw Jillian and Beast Boy, after being so used to seeing BB flirt with Raven instead. Speaking of that, where WAS Raven? His gaze fell on her, as she sat at the farthest end of the couch, eyeing Jillian with pure jealousy and hatred.
He cleared his throat, and Starfire cuddled closer into his side, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Everybody, we have news," he announced, noticing that his voice trembled lightly. He decided to do Raven a little favor though, by adding in, "For Titans members only."
Beast Boy stopped massaging Jillian's shoulders, close to touching her breasts. "Aw, man, why can't Jillian listen in?" he asked.
Raven stood up, walking briskly past Beast Boy, hair swishing from side to side as she walked over to Robin and Starfire. "You can screw your 'hot, sexy' girlfriend later, Garfield," Raven told him in a slight snarl, sneering.
He glared back at her, patting Jillian's shoulder as he and the others exited the room, heading down the hall to the evidence room. Robin and Starfire were in front, hands cupped, with the fingers laced, while Beast Boy and Raven merely walked side by side behind them. They were surprised when suddenly, almost magnetically, their fingers brushed up against each-other's, and their gazes shot up to look at each-other's face. Beast Boy and Raven just stared, as if seeing each-other for the first time, then blushed, turning away.
Robin and Starfire closed the door after Raven and Beast Boy entered, and Robin put his arm securely around Starfire's waist. "We have good news," he told them proudly.
"You're finally going to buy me that moped?" Beast Boy asked, eyes lighting up.
"No . . ." Robin said, blinking.
"You've decided that my room can be moved from next to Beast Boy's so I don't have to hear him and Jack-Off-Jillian moaning and screaming every night when they orgasm?" Raven inquired hopefully.
"Sorry, Rae," Robin grinned smugly, and then said, "Starfire's pregnant."
A thick silence fell over the room, and Beast Boy and Raven exclaimed at the same time, "What?"
Robin and Starfire exchanged looks, then Star smiled assuringly. "We are having a child," she repeated to them gently.
Beast Boy smirked, taking it up as his duty to clasp Robin on the back, congratulating him. "Good job, man! Good job! Name the kid after me, will ya?"
Robin eyed the Changeling embarrassedly, blushing. "No thanks."
Raven was glomped by Starfire, as she squealed "Oh, friend, is this not glorious?"
And Raven would have agreed that this was indeed 'glorious', if she weren't so jealous of the alien girl. She had gotten the man of her dreams, AND a child on the way, meaning that she had had sex. Poor Ravie was still virginal, and had no soul-mate, therefore she felt utterly alone. She looked downcast. "Yeah. Yeah, it is," she said half-heartedly. Starfire frowned, turning back to Robin.
Beast Boy looked at Raven, and then at the others, feeling a strange numb feeling grow inside of him. It was like he HAD to comfort her. It was his mortal destiny, right now. Robin seemed to notice, for he nodded to him as Raven explored the room, taking a trip through time and looking at all of the weapons that had ever been used against them. He led Starfire out, closing the door, and left Beast Boy alone with Raven.
He rubbed the back of his neck, looking at the dark girl examine the evidence of past crime scenes. There was one of Trigon's horns in a glass case, and she paused, in a trance of slight fear at seeing a part of her father that symbolized his utter devil-like evil. She shivered visibly, as Beast Boy slowly followed her.
She moved to the next glass case, seeing Adonis's steroided-out helmet, as she almost smiled a little to herself at the memory of being in Beast Boy's arms, and being the only thing he had been focused on then. Just her. And her safety.
"I remember that," came a slightly deep, yet soft voice. Raven turned around, heart throbbing as she saw Beast Boy, her crush himself, standing there, rubbing the back of his neck unsurely. "I have scars from his rabid attempt at ass-kicking." He smiled up at her shyly.
Raven blinked a few times, leaning against the stand of the case. "Oh" was all she said.
"Oh! Remember that time where your powers got all freaky?" Beast Boy suddenly asked. She nodded distantly.
He latched onto her arm, pulling her over to a glass case a few aisles over, pointing. There, in the case, was the 'holy' Wicked Scary DVD case. She snorted. "Did you beg Robin to fossilize that for you?" she asked.
"Naw. I begged him to take it back, but he insisted on keeping it," Beast Boy replied, shrugging. He paused, looking at Raven. She looked up at him.
"Jillian's waiting for you," she said softly and gently, almost a murmur. Entranced by her beauty, Beast Boy stepped foreward, sliding a finger under her chin, as he whispered, "Jillian can wait."
As she opened her mouth to say something, she felt something warm envelope it, and she realized that Beast Boy was actually KISSING her, his hands starting to explore her body. She gasped softly into his mouth, as he gently pushed her against the wall to get a better feel, but also to give him the pleasure of knowing he was in charge. He licked her lips, sucking at her bottom lip gently, as she obliged willingly, curling her tongue into a loopish-upside down arc, and he pushed his own tongue past her lips, caressing hers.
For a few moments, while breathing through their noses and massaging each-other, they were in their own world, their own paradise, and it was as if their brains weren't controlling their hand movements, or their tongue movements, and were on vacation themselves. The only thing they were conscious of were their heartbeats, and their shallow breaths. Until, of course, Beast Boy pulled away from Raven hesitantly, looking at her.
"Please don't tell Jillian," he whispered. "I-I don't wanna hurt her . . . Or you."
Raven looked at him, still slightly shocked, but she craved his touch, kissing the side of his mouth. "Are you going back to her?" she asked sadly.
"Yeah," he murmured. "But I still really want to be with you, Raven. I-I can't explain it . . . It's like . . . With you, I'm complete."
"Then how will this work out?"
"I'm not sure yet. But for now, meet me on the roof at midnight."
x-x-x-x
For a few moments, Jinx and Cyborg just stared at each other, until the sound of a baby crying from inside Jinx's apartment broke their jaded concentration. Cy blinked his eyes rapidly, fingering the ring on his finger, as Jinx, opened the door all the way.
"Cy . . . I can't believe . . . Am I dreaming?" she asked, eyes glazed over.
"No. No, you aren't." Cy smiled at her, blushing lightly without his own realization.
The baby's cries got louder, and Jinx stepped back. "Come in! I mean, come in! Make yourself comfy . . . I just . . . I'll be right back . . ."
She scurried off down a short hallway, descending into a bed-room, while Cyborg looked around the apartment.
There were no photos or anything of another guy.
Jinx returned, cradling a small baby with a mass of dark hair, and its mother's pink cat-like eyes. "Oh my God . . . W-Why are you here?" she asked, holding the baby to her chest.
"Because I missed you," he breathed, rubbing the top of his head. "You . . . have a kid?"
Jinx looked down at the baby, then back up at him, nodding. "This-This is Sammy, my daughter . . . my boyfriend left me a year ago for another girl, right after she was born. I . . . I still can't believe you're here . . . How long are you staying?"
"I hoped forever . . ." Cyborg said, looking at her. He grinned widely. "Jinx . . . I'm here because I have to tell you something."
She nodded for him to continue, "Yes?"
"I love you. Always have, always will. I missed you like HELL! Especially with the Titans being all love-sick and shit." Cyborg walked over, sliding an arm around Jinx's waist.
Jinx blushed furiously, but smiled, as her eyes welled up with tears. "I love you too, Cy."
Sammy's eyes opened up, and fixtated on Cyborg, staring and studying his face silently, until she found him worthy of her mother's attention, yawning and stretching.
And at that moment, the android titan felt complete, while Raven felt half-way there, and Starfire was past the limit with Robin, and Beast Boy was confused, and felt alone inside.

Gahhh . . . I've been up since 7:54 A.M. my time, EST, and now it's 11:52, but it's all grey and cloudy outside, so it feels like it's like . . . 5. Or 6. -groan-
