There was a draft. Wherever she was lying, it was slightly chilly. She shifted under the blankets. They weren't hers, these blankets were rougher. Something else wasn't quite right on top of this. Her eyes opened and she ran a hand over her thigh. Dear Azar, she was naked! Her cheeks flamed. The feeling of the prickly wool of the blankets against her nude skin, her breasts, and her legs felt bizarre. Somewhere else in unconscious reality, Raven was moving in her sleep, safely away from this situation. She screamed to herself to wake up, to get herself out, but there was still that breeze. Why on Azarath was she naked in another bed? In some ways, she didn't want to know.
...
He could faintly smell the scent of sweat clinging. Someone shifted beside him in his bed. He knew as soon as he came to that he was stripped of his costume. Strange thing was he never took it off except to shower… wait. Someone was in his bed?
...
The person beside her was moving. What was she suppose to do, yank the blanket away and run? What if they were naked, too?
...
He could hear the springs of his mattress quiver as this mysterious guest began to cautiously sit up. An impulse coursed through him and in the dark, his hand touched the small one near his head. Lightly, he rubbed his thumb against the soft skin. Someone let out a little feminine gasp as he pulled the hand closer and put firm lips to the palm. She was familiar to him.
...
She felt the tickle of the faintest kisses on one of her hands. Like looking through mist, she saw a messy-haired boy. He had let her go and she allowed him to touch the side of her face. A trickle of recognition played in her mind. She knew this boy… somehow she knew. He wasn't going to hurt her. It was colder around her and she moved closer to him, her bare hip touching his. Her cheeks were bright red again.
...
This girl moved closer to him, and he draped an arm over her waist, expecting to be pushed away or something. Why did he...? She stiffened a little at the new touch but that was about it. Their noses tapped. She had been trying to examine him. His mouth instead met hers; every good judgment in his mind told him to stop. But he didn't. His tongue ran across her closed lips and she responded by slipping her tongue into his mouth. They were kissing like the very need was dire. Why was this moment so complete? Robin let out a groan in his sleep, but didn't wake. He didn't want to.
...
She liked the taste of him. She liked this feeling of sexual dominance. He moved above her, the delicious weight of his muscular chest against her nude breasts. The kisses between them unrelenting and harsh. Her hips rocked. So did Raven's. Her soft sighs and whimpers echoed in the strange room.
...
It was all a blur, but she was here with him. They coupled; their lovemaking increased the desire to feel her heart race against his own. Their flesh pressing against each other and into each other brought a terrible sense of fervent spiraling. He was near completion as was she. Robin groaned louder in his sleep, his sheets hanging off the edge of his bed.
...
She felt his breath ghost her face and stared into his face. The veil was lifted. A pair of bright blue eyes stared back amazed.
...
Where was his mask? His gaze met violet.
...
'Oh shi…'
...
Something inside them was released and Raven awoke violently on the floor of her bedroom. The last remnants of her orgasm thudding through her veins. Her window, covered by heavy curtains, exploded deafeningly as consciousness returned to her. She shield herself against the flying glass that had escaped the curtain shield, surprised that that was the only thing that had been destroyed.
Running footsteps. Starfire's concerned voice crept under her door, "Should we see what has occurred?"
"Better not. She's probably in a bad mood," Beast Boy said.
The door remained untouched. She rolled over onto her stomach, getting fistfuls of her carpet and squeezing her eyes shut.
Voices drifted back from the kitchen. Her friends were arguing over breakfast. Raven looked up weakly at her clock. Eight o'clock in the morning. She got up to feel a little throb of soreness between her legs. There had to be a logical explanation for everything. Her hands ran over her body; last night's leotard still on. That's a good sign.
Peeking out of her steel door, Raven tiptoed to the nearest bathroom, but Robin came running from the opposite direction. He bumped against her in his rush and their reddened faces could have fried an egg.
"Er…"
Raven stood aside, choking, "G-Go ahead."
He murmured his thanks quick because that's all she heard before the door slammed in her face. She buried her face in her hands with no idea that her leader was in the same need of a cold shower. This wasn't going to be easy to explain to the others. Hopefully, she'd never have to. She climbed up the stairs to the other bathroom and showered as fast as she could, the cold and then lukewarm water helped her nerves and the discomfort that disappeared afterwards. Nothing else seemed abnormal… it must have been a crazy dream.
She needed more mediation, that had to be the solution. Raven changed into a fresh outfit and let her tousled wet hair dry on its own. Mentally, she debated whether it was worth going to breakfast and her stomach won. To immediate relief, there was no sign of the Boy Wonder in the kitchen. Cyborg made his presence known by shoving a plate right under her nose. "Morning. Waffles with absolutely no tofu substitute?"
She took them without a word and brewed her tea, her long fingers rapping nervously over the ceramic tabletop. Starfire crowded into her personal space and she felt her usually emotionless aura give mild go away vibes to her companion.
"Friend Raven, we heard something explode within your room and Friend Beast Boy did not want to enter unannounced. I wonder if you are in good health…?"
"Perfect. I'm tense."
Starfire nodded optimistically, her megawatt smile could have blown several fuses. "Have you seen Robin?"
Raven said, curtly, "No," and took her cup of herbal tea, sitting beside Beast Boy. He took a mouthful of his breakfast and instead of turning green with nausea, he paled, "I think… I just ate real bacon."
Cyborg grinned proudly, a ridiculous chef's hat tilted on his bald head. "Yep! 100 percent pig meat, carved out and roasted-"
The small boy clapped a hand over his puffed out face and she said dryly, "You puke on me and you'll be swallowing ivory china." Beast Boy gulped and sank to the floor. No one cared to check if he was alright or not. They were used to his drama. Raven continued slowly eating her waffles; Starfire occupied Beast Boy's seat and drank a large container of mustard in one sitting.
She beamed. "Yum, very appetizing! Robin, would you care for the mustard?"
"No thanks, Star. I'm good."
Raven turned around so fast that her half eaten breakfast slopped onto the ground, her plate falling with a crash, and she tipped over a gagging Beast Boy, taking a good tumbling onto her waffles and the tile floor. She didn't even know he had came in. Cyborg picked her up under her armpits and helped wipe the syrup off her cloak.
"Whoa, what's your hurry?" he asked
Her face colored, making Cyborg snicker. "Uh…"
Starfire looked genuinely concerned at her flushed appearance. "Raven, are you ill? I could make you the traditional Tameranean dish of Health-"
"I'm fine. I need… I need to go."
With a hand covering her flushed face, she hurried out into the hallway with a follower.
"Robin, go back into the kitchen."
He smirked, amused. "Are you okay? I never saw you turn so red before." She whirled around, eyes glaring.
"Go. Away."
Raven screwed up her eyes and his whisper reached her ears, "What is going on with you, Raven? You seemed a little jumpy back there."
'He knows.'
"Have any interesting dreams, oh fearless leader?" Her violet eyes opened in time to see Robin lose his confident stance to discomfiture.
"Wh-" He cleared his throat, "What do you mean?" Uncomfortable silence passed before he admitted quietly, "I thought… I-it was just-"
"The release of my emotions last night and the pressure I haven't begun to deal with resulted in this 'telepathic' dream shared between us this morning. It's not a big deal. Because I think of you so highly and we do have a connection as you pointed out a while ago... we shared an intimate dream. We don't need anyone to know about this."
"Yeah, Raven. That's what I was going to say."
Beast Boy poked his head in.
"Will you two stop bonding long enough to help us clear up the mess Raven made?" Robin grabbed her shoulder when she moved forward to strangle the green changeling.
"What are you talking about, Beast Boy? It was just some waffles."
"I don't know what you two are doing in here but, Raven, you made the eggs blow up and Starfire's hair almost caught on fire by the stove." He eyed them both seriously, taking in the fact her fists were glowing black and Robin's hand was still digging into her left shoulder. "You aren't fighting, are you?"
"Not unless you are looking for one to become involved in." With that threat still unanswered, she stormed off. Beast Boy frowned at Robin.
"What did I say?"
He shook his head. "Leave her alone."
"Pfft. It's a good thing you're dating Starfire and not her."
Robin snapped his head in his direction. "Where did that come from?" Beast Boy held up his hands when the other boy flexed his right hand.
"Think about it, she never lets anyone get close enough to even-"
"Beast Boy," he interrupted. "Raven's dating status isn't any of your business."
"I'm her friend," Beasy Boy said, shrugging, "Man, I care for her and all, but sometimes she can be a real-"
He didn't finish his sentence. Robin knocked him aside as he went back into the kitchen. Beast Boy looked after him, rubbing his arm.
'What's his deal?'

Moon-struckperil: Those people don't know Raven so they can't say if she wears or likes dresses. Hell, she could secretly like pink and nobody could know it. It's your picture and you do what you want, alright? I'll to go search for it.
