The lights in the mall were, as always, too bright. The clusters of mundane, average, boring people were more than enough to cause irritation for Raven, as she was dragged from shop to shop by her friend. Raven had never gotten used to the staring of the average citizens of Jump City, as she was in the mall in her heavy cloak and costume. Starfire seemed completely oblivious to it.
"Come, Raven! I think that we will find something for you in here!" Starfire floated slightly above the floor as she gently dragged Raven by the arm. Raven allowed herself to be pulled, levitating so that Starfire could pull her around more easily. She suddenly found herself in a store designed to appeal to the Gothic crowd. The store was full of black and red clothing, and various shaped pewter and silver jewelry meant to look demonic or mysterious. Having several actual demonic artifacts in her room sort of made this store feel a bit silly to Raven.
Starfire landed on the floor again, and Raven followed suit. Starfire immediately began to rifle through the clothing racks, pulling various shirts and skirts out as she saw fit. Raven had little choice but to stand there and hold all the clothing Starfire picked out for her, seemingly at random.
The day went by very quickly for Starfire, and only a little slower for Raven, who actually found herself having fun trying on clothes for Starfire to comment on, as well as finding clothing for Starfire to try on. Raven had rarely spent more than an hour at the mall, but with Starfire time seemed to move more quickly, and everything seemed a little brighter and happier just from her sunny outlook.
Starfire was brightly smiling as she walked idly through the mall with Raven at her side. Both girls were carrying bags of clothing, though all the clothing they'd actually bought was for Starfire. Starfire looked towards Raven, still smiling. "Friend, I think we may have visited every shop of clothing in this mall. Is there another thing you wish to buy?"
Raven shook her head. "No, there isn't anything else I want to buy. Are you ready to go?"
Starfire stopped walking, and looked around for a store they hadn't visited yet. She smiled as the saw another clothing store. "Here! Come, Raven. We will visit the last store and then return to home."
Raven rolled her eyes as Starfire pulled her towards another store. As they came through the door, however, Raven suddenly realized where they were.
"Um, Starfire, this isn't a clothing store. I mean, it is, but it's lingerie. I can't try this stuff on."
Starfire blushed, then giggled. "But it would be so fun! I have never been able to try these on for another person, and I wanted to do so while we are the only ones here. I would feel... embarrassed when Robin is here also."
Raven sighed, glancing around at all the skimpy and lacy undergarments. She looked at her friend, and her bright and hopeful smile, and shining eyes. Raven sighed again. "Ok Starfire, but only a few things."
Raven stood basically still, uncomfortable in the store, as Starfire zoomed around picking up clothing to try on. Starfire really seemed to have no particular idea of what she wanted to wear; she was picking up all kinds of things. A few minutes later, Raven followed Starfire to the dressing room. The clerk counted the items, sighed, and wrote down that they had brought thirty seven items into the dressing room. "You girls go ahead and take room 3, it's down that way a bit. I'll be out here if you need anything."
Due to the style of clothing that the store offered, the dressing rooms were actually separate rooms, with closing and locking doors. Raven was extremely thankful for this. She locked the door behind her as they stepped into the well-lit and well-maintained dressing room. Starfire put the lingerie on the small shelf in there, and then turned towards Raven, smiling.
"Which should I try on first, friend?"
Raven was nervous. She wasn't sure how she would react to seeing Starfire trying these things on in the first place, and now Starfire was actually asking her which to try on first. Raven felt too nervous to actually pick anything. "I... just try on whichever you like first. I can't decide for you."
Starfire giggled at Raven's nervousness, then looked through the clothing she'd picked out. She selected a lacy teddy from the pile, and blushed slightly as she hung it on the wall. She then stepped back and began to undress.
Raven swallowed nervously as Starfire unhooked her metal collar armor, removing it. Raven knew she shouldn't be thinking this way, but couldn't help it. She couldn't stop staring as Starfire reached down and pulled her shirt from the bottom, pulling it over her head and exposing her beautiful body to her friend. Starfire shooke her head, letting her hair move freely. She then unhooked her skirt, pulling one end and letting it fall away from her hips. She placed the skirt next to her shirt on the small bench, standing now only in her underwear. Raven felt increasingly warm and aroused, and she could feel her flushed face. Starfire blushed slightly, smiled at Raven, and then bent down, removing her panties and standing naked in the room.
"You are certain that the door is locked, Raven? I do not wish to be seen this way by anyone other than you." Starfire looked slightly nervous of her nudity. Raven tried to compose herself enough to actually answer.
"Yes, I locked the door. Don't worry; no one else will see you. You seem to be fine with me seeing you though."
Starfire blushed, nodding. "Yes... it is ok, yes? You said that I am beautiful, and I am glad you think so."
Raven nodded, completely unsure of what to say. "Yes, I did say that. I meant it, Starfire. I only wish that I looked like that."
Starfire smiled brightly again, and quickly reached out and hugged Raven close. "Oh! I am so happy that you are so nice today! I am glad that the Grebnaxlorg has made us even better friends!"
Raven nearly froze, unsure of what to do with her naked friend hugging her like this. Still, Starfire seemed so happy, and her body was so warm... Raven tentatively closed her arms around Starfire, feeling her friend's smooth back under her hands. Starfire's arms were around Raven's neck, and so her hands instinctively moved towards Starfire's waist. Raven found that her hands felt wonderful resting on Starfire's hips. Suddenly she realized that Starfire had pulled away slightly, and was looking at her.
"Raven, what are you thinking of? You looked as if your mind was another place." Starfire was looking into her eyes, and Raven was very aware of the almost romantic pose they were in. Raven's hands felt hot, and she could feel herself blushing.
"I... I'm just... I don't know. I'm happy that you are so happy."
Starfire smiled,giving Raven a quick hug before pulling away altogether. Raven immediately missed having Starfire so close, but watched her awkwardly dress in the teddy. It was white lace, which actually stood out well on Starfire's orange skin. Raven's eyes followed the lacy lines of the undergarment, well-designed to lead her eyes to Starfire's small patch of hair between her legs, the dark red standing out strongly from the sheer fabric there. Starfire smoothed out the garment, smiling at her friend. "It is nice? Does it look pretty?"
Raven nodded dumbly. It took a few seconds for her to get her breath back. As beautiful as Starfire was when naked, the lingerie added to her beauty immensely. "It's... you're amazing. You are so beautiful and... sexy." Raven felt odd saying that last word.
Starfire smiled brightly. "Really? It is so good? Oh! I had forgotten!" Starfire excitedly dug through th clothes, bending over slightly to reach them. Raven stared at her friend's shapely body, feeling her own arousal raging through her.
Starfire straightened up again, holding an identical teddy in a slightly smaller size, but all black lace. "I found this for you; Raven. Do you wish to try it on? I would very much like to see you in it."
"Uh... I... try that on? I don't know..." Raven stepped back slightly. As much as she enjoyed seeing Starfire try on the clothing, she didn't think she could do it herself. Plus, her body wasn't as nice as Starfire's; what if Star thought that she was ugly?
Starfire's smile didn't fade. "Come, Raven. It is fine. You are my closest friend, and you have seen me try on the lingerie. Can you not at least try it?"
Raven sighed. It was so difficult to say no to Starfire when she was like this. "Ok, I will try it. Promise me that you won't... I don't know... laugh at me or anything."
Starfire hugged Raven tightly again, obviously thrilled. "Yes! I will not laugh at you, Raven. Please do not worry!"
Raven let Starfire pull away from the hug, then stepped back. She unhooked the clasp for her cloak, and tossed it into a corner of the room. Raven closed her eyes, gathering her courage for the next step. She concentrated, phasing out of her costume and letting it fall to the floor. She became solid again, and then tossed the costume over to her cloak, in the corner. Raven tried to look at Starfire to see what she was thinking, but found that she was unable to make eye contact; she was far too nervous.
"Starfire... I... I don't..."
Starfire's voice was unusually quiet when she spoke. "You are very beautiful also, Raven. I did not expect... I did not know how beautiful."
Raven smiled. She felt as if a huge weight was gone from her. "You don't think I'm... ugly? You are so much prettier than me, I didn't think you'd like me."
Starfire giggled, her awe having apparently faded into her usually happy playfulness. She walked closer to Raven, and put her hands on Raven's sides, just above her ribs. Raven's skin almost tingled from Starfire's touch. Raven had to remind herself once again that she was not a lesbian.
"Raven, you are very pretty. I very much like your body." Starfire's hands moved down Raven's sides, resting on her hips for a moment. "It is very shapely, and you have very attractive... breasts. I do almost wish that humans also had Grebnaxlorg."
Raven smiled nervously. With Starfire, she couldn't be sure if this was meant as a sexual reference, or just as a way of becoming closer friends. However, with her hormones flowing as they were, Raven couldn't find the strength to deny Starfire. "You could try, if you want. I don't have milk, but you could still try."
Starfire seemed hesitant, but still looked at Raven's breasts almost hungrily. She knelt, and moved slowly towards Raven's breasts. "You are certain? I may... use my mouth on you? Even though you have no milk?"
Raven leaned heavily on the wall, her legs feeling weak. She nodded dumbly, unable to find words with her body's reaction to the situation.
Starfire was moving very slowly and hesitantly, holding Raven's sides and staring as she brought her lips towards Raven's right nipple. Raven shuddered with excitement as she felt Starfire's breath, hot on her breast. Starfire stopped, looking up at Raven, with her lips only an inch from Raven's nipple. Raven could barely stand, her pent up hormones rushing full tilt.
Suddenly, Starfire turned away, embarrassed. "We must not. It is not right to do this without the milk, Raven. It would make us... it would change us."
Raven tried to ignore her body's screaming desire for a moment, and forced herself to think rationally. "As much as I want you to try it... I know what you mean."
Starfire removed her teddy, and then hugged Raven once more, tightly and desperately. Raven returned the hug, holding Starfire around her waist as Starfire held her around the neck. The girls stood there for a long time, pressed together and holding eachother tightly. Raven felt very at ease and comfortable, feeling Starfire close against her. She found herself listening to Starfire's breath as the embraced, and smiling happily.
The long hug calmed her hormones, despite the shared nudity. When Starfire pulled away, she was smiling contentedly. Starfire stared into Raven's eyes for a few seconds before she spoke. "Raven, you are not angry that I tried to... use my mouth on you, are you?"
Raven shook her head, smiling a little. "No, Starfire. I understand how you felt. I've felt that way too."
Starfire looked around the room momentarily. "I do not think that I desire the lingerie any longer. Shall we return the items and return home?"
Raven nodded. "Sure. Let's go."
Raven sat alone in her room, once more, meditating. The maddening emotions of the day had left her psyche ravaged. It had taken her nearly four hours, but she had once again calmed her mind to normal levels. She finally allowed her meditation to turn to a more recreational state, remembering the events of the day and trying to sort things out.
Raven had awoken at a normal hour, then gone and fed from Starfire almost immediately. Afterwards, she'd had the unique and wonderful chance to watch Starfire pleasure herself. Very shortly afterwards, they'd gone to the mall and had an experience that left Raven extremely uncertain of Starfire's intentions. Raven was still trying to work things out when a knock at the door broke her concentration.
Raven stepped down from her levitation, and walked towards the door, pulling her cloak from the floor and clasping it around her neck as she walked. She pressed the switch, and the door opened to the fairly intimidating sight of the other four Titans. Robin spoke first.
"Hey Raven. We're all going out for pizza. Do you wanna come with?" Raven could never tell whether Robin actually thought of her as a friend, or just felt it was his duty as team leader to dote on the quiet girl.
Raven maintained a mildly irate expression, typical for her interactions with the rest of the Titans. They all looked hopeful, though Starfire was smiling knowingly from the back of the group. "No. I'll stay here and eat something else later."
Starfire let out a giggle, and the others turned towards her. Catching herself, Starfire blushed and offered a lame excuse. "It is funny that she... wishes to eat alone?"
Robin shrugged. "Ok, Raven, we just thought you might like to get out of the tower a bit. You've been in your room for hours."
Raven shook her head. "No, I will be fine. Have fun eating pizza."
The other four Titans stared at the curtly closed door. "Well, I guess it's just us, then." Cyborg sounded mildly disappointed, but not all that surprised.
Raven sat down on her bed, looking forward into the darkness of her room. She was still uncertain what was happening between her and Starfire. Raven sighed, feeling her body's tension. She knew what it wanted, though she still felt strange doing it.
She laid back, gently rubbing to increase her arousal. She had time, while the other Titans were out eating. Raven took it slowly, building herself for a long time before finally letting herself cross the edge. Her orgasm was powerful and exhausting, and she did little to clean up afterwards, simply covering herself with her blankets and falling asleep.
Raven awoke to soft singing. She opened her eyes, groggy and not remembering her nudity. She saw Starfire laying next to her, naked and under the covers, gently caressing her face and singing a quiet lullaby that Raven was unfamiliar with. The closeness and the soft song made Raven feel very content and comfortable, and she instinctively moved, cuddling up to Starfire's warm body. She realized now that she was naked as well, but thought nothing of it. Starfire had seen her before. Starfire continued singing, gently petting Raven's hair and holding the small of her back, as Raven nuzzled against Starfire's neck.
Though she didn't know the language, Raven listened intently to Starfire's song. It was calming and beautiful, and she felt completely at peace. Even meditation had never brought her to such a state. After a few moments that Raven wished could last forever, Starfire's song ended. The girls remained silent for a time, holding eachother and simply being close.
When Starfire finally spoke, her voice was soft and quiet. "I apologize for entering your room while you slept. You had left the door unlocked. I have since locked it. Did you sleep well?"
Raven nodded, the also spoke quietly. "Yes, I was tired from the day. Why are you... unclothed?"
"I felt that it was only fair. You were unclothed as well. It offends you that I am naked?"
Raven didn't answer; she only cuddled closer to Starfire, smiling and holding her. Raven could feel Starfire's breasts pressing to her, and knew that they were once again full. She felt hungry, having skipped dinner. "Do you want me to drink again, Starfire?"
Starfire smiled. "Yes, I do." She moved slightly, pulling herself to a partially sitting position, against Raven's headboard. Raven pulled herself closer, straddling Starfire's right leg to get close enough. Raven moved her lips to Starfire's nipple, pulling it into her mouth with practiced ease, and beginning to suckle. She could feel Starfire watching her, and Starfire's hand still on the small of her back, while her other hand gently supported Raven's head. Raven suckled gently, letting the milk slowly come. Almost too quietly to hear, Starfire began singing again.
Raven continued to drink, feeling warm, content, and happy. Starfire's slow, soothing song kept the feeding very calm and loving. The ritual took longer this time, the slow pace and soft atmosphere aiding in the closeness of the girls. It was fifteen minutes later that Raven finally pulled her lips from Starfire's empty breast, and lay her head on Starfire's soft stomach.
Starfire continued to gently stroke her friend's hair, while singing softly. Raven felt herself drifting off to sleep again, surrounded by warm comfort and her closest friend. She closed her eyes, letting the song and the warmth overtake her. As she slept, she smiled.
