Chapter Nine
That night, Robin and Starfire were together in her room, sitting on her bed. Both were dressed in their sleepwear. Starfire was leaning again Robin, whose arms encircled his love's belly. He gently rubbed it.
"You are nervous, are you not, Robin?" Starfire asked him.
"Very!" he replied. "It's not really a good sign when a girl's father shows up, knowing that his kid is pregnant. And what's worse, he already met me once!"
"And you do not believe he will approve of your actions with me?"
"That's my guess. And seeing what you can do with your powers, I'd hate to have him mad at me!"
"I see." Starfire heaved a sigh. "I am curious what he will think of me."
"What are you worried about?"
"He may think me a disgrace, allowing myself to be distracted from a warrior's life. I was impatient."
Robin gazed at the wall. "Guess we'll find out together, won't we?"
Starfire nodded. She managed to cock her head and kiss Robin. He returned her kiss. Then, he smiled.
"You know, it's funny. Normally, this might lead to sex with us!"
"Yes, too bad, is it not?"
"We'll enjoy it again someday."
"Yes, I hope so too!"
Seeing no other option, the two lovers slid next to each other and slept.
Meanwhile, Beast Boy was returning to his room after showering. He felt clean and refreshed. When he passed Raven's room, he paused. He felt something akin to longing as he waited there. It was then he realized that he perhaps had real feelings for Raven. He began to wonder if she really meant what she said nearly two months ago after that unfortunate shower incident.
But just as he walked away, the door opened, and a black hand pulled him inside!
"What the hell?" he cried out.
He was left sprawling on the floor. He dropped his towel and dirty clothes, as well as his bag with his soaps, toothbrush and toothpaste and mouthwash.
A figure then appeared from the darkness. Beast Boy was terrified!
"W-who are you?"
The figure was now fully illuminated.
"Raven?" Beast Boy asked.
The mystic nodded.
"What's the deal? Why..."
He was interrupted when she charged at him, pinning him down. She straddled him, grabbing his wrists.
Beast Boy's heart was pounding, not so much out of fear as it was anticipation.
"What is this all about?" he asked, his voice quaking.
She flicked her head, causing her hood to fall back. Raven then leaned in to his face and kissed him on the lips.
When she finished, she saw the changeling was wide eyed and slack jawed.
"Well?" she asked, smiling.
"Dude! That...that was great."
Raven nodded in approval. She repeated her action, this time letting Beast Boy move. He embraced her, rubbing her back.
They stared into each other's eyes and then stood up, eying the other like a wild animal.
They approached calmly, encircling their arms around each other's torso. Beast Boy acted on an impulse to do what he always wanted to do; he slid his arms underneath Raven's cape, and felt her back. He then lowered his arms and felt her waist. Then, sensing no protest, he felt her butt.
She smiled at him and did the same. She then brought his waist close to hers.
"Raven..." Beast Boy began. "You...you're not intending on getting pregnant tonight, are you?"
"No." she said, softly. "That's why I have these." She let him go and walked to her dresser, presenting a small box of condoms.
"You planned this?" Beast Boy said, astonished.
"Of course."
"So...you love me?"
She nodded. "Secretly, until now. I guess the showing incident sparked it."
"Huh?"
"Well, after that, I had a strange desire in me. Of course, you already knew of what emerged with my feelings toward you, right?"
"Yeah, you've been kinder and gentler. And you haven't insulted me as much."
"Exactly. And now, tonight, I want to be intimate."
"Big leap, isn't it?"
"How long have we known each other?"
"I don't know. Three or four years?"
"So, it isn't as big a leap as you think."
Beast Boy nodded, seeing Raven's point.
"So, whaddya say we get intimate then?"
Smiling, Raven walked to him again. He fought the impulse to back off, as he was not accustomed to this display of affection by Raven. Were it Starfire or Terra, he would be less nervous.
She approached him until they were touching. Beast Boy noted that even when they were both barefoot, Raven still was taller than him; her lips were about even with his forehead. He noted that he only had to slightly advert his eyes slightly down to see her chest.
Suddenly, Beast Boy felt very much violated; Raven's hand was down his pants.
"What are you doing?" he said, his voice high pitched.
"Getting you in the mood." she replied, a broad grin on her face.
Beast Boy nearly passed out from the sensation. When Raven finished, he was staggering.
"Wow." he said, flatly. Then, he lost his balance.
Raven caught him, keeping him from falling.
"You're pathetic." she said, shaking her head.
Then, she was startled when Beast Boy's left hand grabbed the collar of her leotard. She let go of him and backed off, but his hand was still clamped on. Then, it was Raven's turn for a surprise; smiling, Beast Boy allowed himself to fall while hanging on to the leotard, causing it to rip all the way down the middle.
Raven was embarrassed at first, but didn't mind. Beast Boy, meanwhile, admired his work.
"You really ought to wear underwear." he told her.
"No need to with this." she said, tearing the remaining fabric apart.
"At least wear panties." Beast Boy suggested.
"Whatever." Raven retorted.
She slid her arms out of the sleeves, dropping the torn leotard to the ground. She then removed her cape, leaving her naked.
Beast Boy followed suit, casting off his robe first, then his pajamas and underwear. The mystic admired his body.
"You know, you're putting on some muscle."
"Glad you noticed. You look good too."
"Thanks. Herbal tea does wonders for my figure."
"Ever try the gym?"
"Just to keep fit."
"Seems to be working."
Raven couldn't stand it any longer. She aggressively embraced Beast Boy, kissing him, clawing his back. She only paused long enough to hand him a condom.
He managed to put it on and pushed Raven onto the bed.
"Take me now!" she hissed as he climbed on her.
He nodded and began to make passionate love to her.
