Beastboy stayed with Raven for the rest of the day and all of Sunday. He was too nervous to leave her so soon after an attack. Monday came and Raven agreed that he needed to go back to work. He gave his cell number to Demeter and Raven with strict instructions to call if anything happened. As soon as he stepped off the elevator into work he was ambushed by his co-worker, Keith.
"Dude," he said, "Where were you all weekend, I called you house almost twenty times." He stopped for a second and then dragged "Gar" down a side hallway. "Ok dude, who was she?"
"What do you mean," Beastboy asked, shrugging Keith off. "Who was who?"
"This chicks house you were at," he said, "Who was she?
"What makes you think I was at someone house," Beastboy asked, "Most especially a chicks?"
"Dude," he said, "You didn't call me back; you ALWAYS call me back; especially when I owe you case. Also," Keith said his next phrase very seriously, "You smell like lavender."
"I do not!" Beastboy walked down the hall past several offices and large gaming stations. "She's an old friend," Beastboy said, sitting down at his "desk." His "desk" was really a chair in front of a pretty good monitor with several game consoles on shelves nearby along with an assortment of controllers and memory cards. He plunked down and took a look at his "to test" box. "Nothing happened."
"You still haven't told me her name," he said, leaning against the wall and Beastboy hooked up his PS2 system for his first game of the day.
"No," his voice was muffled from his position behind the TV monitor, "And I don't plan to."
"Come on Gar," he said, punching his shoulder, "I told you when I met Laura."
"Didn't you also inform me when you broke up with Laura," Beastboy replied, now out form behind the TV. He un-wound a controller and plugged it in. Keith sighed, and unplugged Beastboy's power strip.
"Her name," her said, holding the plug in his hand.
"Come on Keith," Beastboy whined, "I've got work."
"Her name or I'll cut it," he replied.
"Will you settle for her stage name," Beastboy asked. Keith was a womanizer; he did not want Keith anywhere near Raven. He would find out the consequences if Raven even mentions some by his name.
"Sure," he replied, plugging the power bar back in.
"Nightingale," Beastboy gave, "You also owe me twenty. That game last week flopped."
"Fine," Keith said, handing over the cash, "And I get a date with your mystery girl when I find her."
"You'll also get a date with my boot," Beastboy said without even thinking as he took his money. He had no idea where his feelings for Raven came from sometime. He knew Keith was just joking, or was he. "That is, if you can get close enough to touch her."
"She a wild one," he asked.
"No idea," Beastboy said, the games menu came up. "Now go away, I've got time and terrorists to kill."
"See you later." He said. Beastboy zoned out and focused on the game. It was not long before he had beaten the game and moved on to the next one. He set some pretty quick high scores and got done early. He reached over and found that there were no more games for him to test. He shut down his systems and walked over to Keith's station.
"Hey Gar," Keith said.
"I'm done for the day," Beastboy said, "I'm heading back."
"See you tomorrow," Keith said, still playing furiously with the controller. Beastboy shrugged his jacket on and walked down to the mall. He was walking around when he saw something in a window.
"Raven would like that," he said to himself and walked inside. He bought the item and slipped in into his pocket. It was five, not late enough for Raven to be on stage, but certainly early enough to go home and change. Beastboy opened his apartment door and the phone rang. He locked it behind him and picked up.
"Hello," he asked.
"Hey Beastboy," Cyborg said over the phone, "Are you going back to the bar tonight?"
"Yeah," Beastboy said, "I was going to go see Raven again."
"I heard you stayed with her all weekend," Cyborg said.
"Does anyone not know about that," Beastboy asked.
"No," Cyborg said, "Anyway, that's not what I called about. Jessie's coming tonight, Star and Robin will be there also."
"Cool," Beastboy said, "It's going to be just like old times."
"I'll se you there," Cyborg said. He hung up and got changed, he still smelled like Raven's apartment. He pulled on a black tee and jeans. He decided against driving and hoofed it to the bar. Getting there close to 7 (he stopped and shopped along the way cough cough boarders cough cough) when he walked in her saw Cyborg sitting across from a woman with pink hair.
"Beast," Cyborg called when he saw him, "Over here." He stood and walked over. "I think you already know my wife." The woman turned.
"Jinx," Beastboy exclaimed, "Whoa, didn't expect to she you two together."
"It's Jessie now," she said, hugging the green man, "I had to change my name when I ran away from H.I.V.E., but that was before I became a Titan. You know the story from there. Anyway, how are thins with you?"
"Great," he replied, pulling up a chair, "How are you two doing?"
"Wonderful," she said, "Cy and I think we'll be able to afford some kids soon." Suddenly Jinx was tackled from behind, a blur of red flew by.
"Friend Jinx," Starfire exclaimed, crushing Jinx in a hug, "It has been far to long."
"Hey Kori," Jinx said, she was nearly turning blue, "You're kinds crushing me." Star let Jinx go, laughing a little. Robin walked up.
"Is she crushing people again," he asked, the former boy wonder had grown up as had star. Star's hair was longer and she had learned better English. Robin's hair was the same length, but he had lost the boyish features and his face had matured. He pulled out a chair and settled in it, Star making herself comfortable in his lap. They all drank, responsibly, and waited for Raven to perform. She sang another sad love song and disappeared to roaring applause. Beastboy suddenly felt a lion in his chest roar when the men came in with flowers. He waited until the line got nice and long before walking up to Demeter, who was guarding the doors again.
"Hey Demeter," he said, smiling.
"Go on back Gar," Demeter said, "She's waiting for you." He smirked as the men in line gaped. He walked right back and knocked on Raven's door.
"Come in Beastboy," she said. Raven was still in her dress. A dark purple strapless piece that hugged her form in just the right places. She hugged him and smiled as she sat down. "No flowers tonight?" He saw still had the black orchids on her dressing stand. She pulled her hair down and began brushing it up into a ponytail. He leaned down and whispered in her ear.
"Close your eyes," he said and took the box swiftly out of his pocket. He kneeled down and took the object out. Quickly fastening it around her glorious pale neck. He stood back up. (Ha! Not proposing.) "Look."
Raven opened her eyes and gasped. Around her neck was a fine silver chain holding a moon pendant. The moon was made of white opal and in the center of the full moon was a raven with spread wings in black opal. She touched it gently; the chain held in just below her collarbones, a perfect fit. He was crouching just behind her.
"Do you like it," he asked.
"I love it," Raven replied, still facing the mirror. She turned to thank him, and his face was right there. Beastboy leaned in a little further, Raven looked at his eyes, she knew she couldn't resist. Raven tilted her head to the right and let him kiss her. (Finally)
Beastboy had to keep from shouting in joy when she let him in. He brought his arms around her and she slipped hers around his neck. Beastboy pulled her off the chair, closer and they were keeling in front of each other. Her deepened the kiss, letting his tongue flash across her lips. Time slowed as their tongues melded. His arms wrapped her even closer, easily enveloping her waist and back. It seemed like an eternity before they finally parted. Beastboy looked around, nothing had exploded. Raven was smiling, looking incredibly happy.
"Well," he said, sitting on the chair and pulling her on his lap, "That was only five years in the coming. I almost forgot this." Beastboy pulled a wrapped package out of his cargo pocket and handed it to her. "Happy birthday Raven." Raven smiled.
"You remembered," Raven said. Kissing him lightly on the lips. She opened the gift and gasped once again. It was beautiful black leather bound book. In gold letters it proclaimed the title. "The collected works of Edgar Allen Poe! Oh, thank you!" She put the book on her table and wound her arms around Beastboy's neck again, kissing him soundly on the lips again.
"I could really get used to that," Beastboy whispered to Raven.
"So could I," she replied, "Be right back." She slipped behind a dressing curtain and emerged in tight black pants and a tight purple tee. She slid her feet into boots and grabbed his hand. "Come, let's go. I'm on break." She walked out to see Jinx, Robin, and Star sitting at a table with Cyborg. Star squealed and gave a crushing hug only Star could give.
"Friend Raven," she said, "It has been to long. How are you, I had no idea your voice was so well for performing." Raven took a seat and ordered rounds for everyone. The guys soon began talking loudly about old times and Jinx leaned over to her friend.
"So I take it you and Beastboy were making out in the back," Jinx asked.
"How did you know," Raven asked, blush coming to her cheeks.
"It's kind of hard to miss a few tables and chairs levitating and glowing black," Jinx said, "Don't worry, I put everyone under illusion, they didn't notice anything."
"Thanks," Raven said, "Yeah, I guess." She saw Demeter look over and Raven and raise and eyebrow, then nod her head in the direction of the bar. "I'll be right back." Raven walked over to her friend.
"Hey," Demeter said, "Boss says you can take off for the night. I told him your old friends were in town."
"You shouldn't have done that," Raven protested.
"But I did," Demeter replied with a smile, "Go ahead. I know you haven't seen any of them in five years. You should keep in touch with them Raven; you never know when they're going to come in handy. If I counted the times all my friends pulled my ass out of a sling, I would be counting for, well, a very long time. I'm just watching out for you kid."
"Thanks," Raven said and walked back to her table, "Hey guys, lets go somewhere. The boss just let me off."
"Great," Robin said, "Where do you guys want to go?"
"Clubbing," Jinx and Star said at once.
"I think that settles it," Cy said, taking Jinx's hand, "Shall we." They all piled into different vehicles and drove to a dance club near by. They all walked in. Star shed her jacket to reveal low jeans and a pink tube top. Jinx let her hair down and was wearing a black top with blue designs and a black skirt with boots. Raven was still in her attire of black leather pants and purple top, her hair was out of her face and she had taken her makeup off, showing her katra.
"Let us do the dance," Star said, puling Raven and Jinx towards the dance floor.
"Hey," Jinx said, "Want to make the guys drool?" The two other nodded. "Good, lets dance." Jinx, Raven, and Star all began dancing together in a rather risqué manor. Raven looked out of the corner of her eyes and had to struggle to keep from laughing. Beastboy, Cyborg, and Robin had all stopped dead in their tracks. Gaping at the three girls. Jinx saw this too and began throwing her hips around a little more, totally breaking it down. Star was doing very nice moves with her hips, though slightly understated then Jinx. Raven was in a whole other league. Her arms were twirling above her head and running down her hair. Her hips moved sensuously form side to side; her tee rode up and showed ff her thin form.
It was not long before three random guys came and tried to get in with the three vixens. The boys were on them in a heartbeat. Thrown away, the men cussed and the Titans took back their dates. Robin faced Star and she wrapped her arms around his neck. Jinx and Cyborg started breaking down and tearing up the floor. Beastboy and Raven were, once again, in a whole other league. He wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and nothing could have pried him away from her. She leaned back against him, and all he could think of his how her back felt against his chest. The song ended far to soon for Beastboy's taste, and he did not release Raven. She did not squirm away.
Raven felt a swirl of emotion deep inside her. A new emotion had surfaced, but she could not identify it. She was too preoccupied with Beastboy's arms that were linked about her hips. She switched the records on the DJ table and spun in Beastboy's arms, winding her own around his neck. A slow song began and they began swaying with the music. The world slowed down, and she felt like she was the only one there. Just her and Beastboy. He pulled her closer and she leaned her head on his shoulder. He had grown in five years, once the shortest, he was now almost a head taller then Raven. She smiled and tilted her head up; Beastboy leaned in and kissed her. She smiled, happier then she had been in years.
Yup, they FINALLY kissed. Keep reading, I'll update soon.
Review please, they spur my imagination.
