"Raven…" Robin started. Raven glared at him and he shut up instantly. She walked behind the group, dragged Cyborg out by his human ear then slapped him across the face. He stood there in shock as she sat down at the table and started eating pizza. Robin walked over and crossed his arms and tapped one metallic booted foot
"What were you and Beast Boy talking about?" he demanded. Raven ignored him. He grabbed her upper arm. Beast Boy munched on pizza and looked back and forth between his leader and his girlfriend
"Let. Go." Raven said through gritted teeth. Robin stared her down. The other teens watched from behind the sofa afraid of any explosions
"Maybe I should ask you what you were doing instead." that was the last straw. Three light bulbs shattered showering the boy in glass. All the windows developed a large crack down the middle and several pots and pans swirled around the room
"Calm down Rae." Beast Boy said walking around behind her and placing one hand on her shoulder. The pots dropped to the ground abruptly and several windows stopped cracking. Robin shook his head sending glass shards to the floor. He looked at Raven who's eyes were starting to become glassy with tears
"I'm sorry." she said before shifting through the floor. Five heads popped out from behind the sofa. Starfire gasped seeing the damage Raven had caused
"Friend Robin are you alright?" she asked brushing some remaining glass from his shoulders
"I'm fine Star. Be careful of the glass." Terra rolled her eyes at Starfire's display of affection and sat on the back of the sofa
"Man she cracked almost every window up here." Gear said looking out towards the city. Static's mouth was hanging open from Raven display of anger
"What was that?" he said looking at Cyborg
"Temper tantrum." he said plainly. Beast Boy was looking at the doors his head cocked one way slightly
"Careful you don't bust your brain." Terra commented. He glared at her then started for the door but Robin's hand grabbed his shoulder
"What is going on between you two?"
"Nothing." Beast Boy winced inwardly. He hated lying to his leader but he had to talk to Raven about how she wanted to handle the situation
"If it was 'nothing' she wouldn't have gotten so mad. Tell me the truth." Beast Boy found it hard to be intimidated by someone who was shorter than him and since Robin's eyes were covered he couldn't see any emotion through them making it even harder
"Let me go I need to talk with Raven." the masked teen's grip intensified
"First tell me what is gong on." Beat Boy lifted his hand carefully freeing himself
"I will. But first I need to talk with Raven." he said turning out the door. Robin stood there with his hand still hovering in the air. It dropped to his side after a moment
"Robin?" Starfire said gently. The boy didn't answer, Beast Boy had been totally unafraid of him. Usually there was the slight fear of getting into trouble but he had looked totally calm and collected. Static gathered all the glass into a wastebasket then sat down on the sofa with Terra.
Raven locked her door and jumped on the bed into her carefully arranged pillows. She sat against the headboard and hugged her raven to her chest. Angry tears threatened to spill over. Inside her mind's eye red, light gray, and sky blue were flashing everywhere (anger, shame and embarrassment)
"Great now Robin won't trust us alone with Beast Boy." Bravery said in a whining tone
"Why is Robin so angry with us?" Knowledge wondered
"I hope he does not punish us." Timid said softly.
Raven listened to her emotions talk for what seemed like hours. A soft knock on her door tore her away from her them and her thoughts. She got up and let it open slightly showing only a sliver of her face. Beast Boy was outside. Now the tears spilled over. She let the door open all the way and looked at him.
Beast Boy was shocked to see Raven crying. It just didn't make sense. He stepped forward and pulled her into his chest
"It's okay." he whispered
"No it's not. He won't trust us alone now." she sobbed. Beast Boy sighed and stayed silent. His animal senses told him that the Titans were listening around the corner but he didn't care
"Raven, calm down okay? We'll sort this thing out. Even if Robin does something we'll fix it. He can't hold us down."
"Why are you doing this for me?"
"Because I love you Rae."
"But why? I can barely show you anything even with Trigorn gone. And I'm not pretty. Not like Star or Terra are."
"No you're not." she looked up at him, he smiled and brushed her hair back "You're beautiful." Raven smiled then glanced down the hall
"They're listening." Beast Boy chuckled
"What's the point?" Raven smiled and kissed him lightly on the lips. He wound his arms around her waist and smiled as she ran her fingers through his hair. Someone cleared their throat but he ignored them. Raven pulled away slowly her violet eyes locked with his
"You both seem comfortable." Robin's voice commented from the end of the hall. Raven started laughing. It was a gentle laugh that made Beast Boy's heart melt
"You know Robin, you take life way to seriously." she said still giggling. Robin crossed his arms. Beast Boy shook his head
"She has a point dude." Robin's face turned red
"What in the heck were you two doing!" he screamed. Raven rolled her eyes
"You have a brain Robin. Use it. What did it look like we were doing?"
"It looked like you were kissing!" Cyborg exclaimed coming out of his shocked state. He cringed as if he was waiting for Raven to do something. When he looked up she was staring at Beast Boy
"You know Robin if I recall you never made any rule that we couldn't fall in love." he said calmly. Robin shook his head and sighed then he smiled
"I guess I didn't. Well as long as it doesn't get in the way of our duties I'm happy for you." Raven smiled and pulled Beast Boy into her room.
