"If you want this thing to end before it even begins...keep doing what you're doing."

Raven, who was sitting with her legs up on the couch and a book in hand nudged away the large green husky that was flopping beside her. He whimpered and sat up, his pointed ears falling. It had been only two days since they had agreed to try...whatever they were doing, and Beast Boy had proved even more annoying than usual. He had been basically glued to her heels, following her everywhere she went, trying to be cuddly even when the other Titans were around, which was a big no in her book. It made Raven concerned that they would suspect something, and it made her uncomfortable. She wasn't used to close contact with, well, anybody. The closest she had ever been to anyone, soberly, was Malchior and they hadn't even kissed. The sudden close proximity that Beast Boy insisted they have was new to her and she didn't know how she felt about it.

"Seriously," she continued, ignoring his sad, puppy dog expression. "What was the one rule I laid down already?"

He blinked. "That you don't want the other to know."

"Exactly, and any of them could walk in this room at any time. So cut it out."

Beast Boy fell over onto his back on the couch, turning into a human, one arm dangled dramatically to the floor and the other laid across his forehead.

"Ughhhhhh," he moaned causing Raven to roll her eyes. "We haven't been acting any different than normal. How is this "us trying"? It's like you just said that you would try to get me off your back."

"Maybe I did." Raven said with a smirk. Beast Boy narrowed his eyes.

"I mean it Rave, why did we even agree to this if nothings going to change?"

She could tell he was frustrated with her, and she knew that he was right. She would eventually have to give into him a little bit if she wanted to figure out her own feelings. She just needed time to let her walls down.

"Just give me time, okay. This was never exactly a well thought out plan for me. I have no idea what I'm doing."

"What are we talking about?"

Beast Boy quickly sat up and he and Raven turned to look behind there where they saw Cyborg entering the room from the hallway, one eyebrow raised. Raven blushed slightly and turned back to her book, snuggling her back into the arm of the chair.

"Uhhh," Beast Boy tried to rack his brain for excuses. "We were talking about what to get everyone for Christmas. We're thinking about going splits on a gift for Star, but Raven can't make up her mind." She had to admit, that was slick, especially for him. Cyborg sat on the couch between then, turning his head back and forth from one to the other.

"It's the beginning of November, isn't it a little too early to be talking about Christmas?"

"It's never too early." Raven said over her book. Cyborg shrugged and kicked his feet up on the coffee table, turning his complete attention to Beast Boy.

"So bro, remember how I didn't have the money to get you a present last week."

Beast Boy nodded. "Yeah man, but its cool. I don't need anything, your friendships enough."

Cyborg waved his hand and shook his head. "Hear me out and check out what I have since managed to get my hands on."

Raven peered over the pages of her book and watched as Cyborg pulled two tickets from his pocket and shoved them at Beast Boy. She couldn't see what the tickets were, but she noticed the green teen's face light up.

"What the hell? No way! Is this for reals?"

Cyborg smiled and nodded his head proudly. "Managed to trade them for my old school Nintendo to a dude downtown. I knew you'd want to go."

"Dude that's sick, but you didn't have to do that. I know how much you loved that console."

"Please, it's the least I could do for my best friend. Besides this will be the perfect opportunity to pick up some ladies." Cyborg wiggled his eyebrows. Raven furrowed her brows and swished her hand towards her. The tickets flew from Beast Boy's hand into hers.

"Hey!" he called out. She looked down at them and read the large blue letters.

"Club Chaos?" she questioned, raising an eyebrow. Cyborg once again smiled proudly.

"It's the brand new nightclub that opened down by the bridge. The grand opening is this Saturday and everybody who's anybody is gonna be there. Including the two most handsome bachelors in Jump City, Beasty and yours truly."

He grabbed the tickets out of Raven's hand and gave them back to Beast Boy. Raven put her book on her lap.

"Beast Boy just turned eighteen. He can't get into a club." She said nonchalantly.

"Girl, you need to use your head." Cyborg responded, giving her a look. "We are the Teen Titans, we saved the friggin world! My dude can go anywhere he wants."

"The law is the law, and he's underage. Being a superhero isn't going to change that. They're not going to let him in." Raven was feeling annoyed again and she couldn't tell if it was due to the stupidity of her two male companions, or if it was because of the flashes of Beast Boy dancing with other girls that was suddenly invading her mind. She shook her head, trying to rid herself of the unwanted thoughts. She thought that they were trying to have a thing, now he suddenly wanted to go fuck around at a nightclub? She supposed she shouldn't really care since she had been the one to tell him not to get attached. They weren't really together, they were just testing the waters, he was free to do as he liked and frankly she shouldn't have cared.

But she did.

"Let who in where?"

The three teens once again looked around to see Robin and Starfire walking into the room, Robin's normally slicked hair slightly tousled. Raven's mind immediately jumped to wondering why that was which she felt extremely guilty about and looked away. Beast Boy held the tickets out so they could see them as they approached.

"Look what Cy got me for my birthday! Tickets to the grand opening of Club Chaos! We're making Saturday night bro night." He said with a large toothy smile. Robin frowned.

"Thanks for the invite."

"Come on Rob," Cyborg started, rubbing his bald head. "I knew you wouldn't want to come so I saved myself the trouble of getting another ticket. It was hard enough to haggle these ones."

Robin leaned on the back of the couch. "Its fine, I was joking. But uh...you know Beast Boy's underage, right? He won't be able to get past the bouncer."

Raven looked at her leader. "Thank you."

"We'll get him in, no problem. I will not let anything screw up my man's late birthday present from Cyborg." Cyborg chimed, pointing his thumb into his chest. "I'm gonna make sure he's gonna get all the booze and all the booty his little green ass deserves."

He held up his hand for Beast Boy to high five, which he did, making Raven's heart ache.

She didn't care...she didn't care...

Robin rolled his eyes and pushed away from the couch. "Just don't get arrested. It'll look bad on me and I don't want to have to explain anything to Batman. So if they say no, you can bring your little green ass back to the tower." He gave Beast Boy a look. Beast Boy rolled his head.

"Yeah, yeah."
