Raven's eyes opened peacefully in the morning. She had slept so well and she was so comfortable, though she couldn't understand why. It wasn't until something tightened around her waist and she looked down to see a green arm wrapped around her that she remembered. She blushed.

She had slept, the whole night in Beast Boy's arms. Like a couple. Like two people who legitimately cared for one another. She shifted slightly, trying to move out of his grip but her backside brushed up against something hard. She froze.

No.

No, no, hell no.

Her movement seemed to wake the sleeping man beside her and he stretched his shoulders back, groaning as he did so. Beast Boy opened his eyes and was slightly surprised to see Raven before him, his grip on her loosened.

"R-Raven?" he questioned, his voice completely shocked. Raven ground her teeth together, feeling the object against her ass twitch.

She wanted to die.

And to make matters worse, Beast Boy hadn't seemed to notice. "Why am I in your room? Why are we…cuddling?"

"You came here last night after you came back from the club. You were too drunk to take back to your room so I let you crash here. Now will you please….move!"

Beast Boy sat still for a moment before looking between them. His cheeks flushed a deep shade of red and he sprung away from her to the complete other side of the bed, his hands diving to cover the bulge that was protruding from his skinny jeans. She rolled over and sat up, a blush coloring her own cheeks.

"I…that…I'm…that just happens sometimes, i-it's not my fault." he rambled, trying to defend himself. Raven would not look at him but she shook her head.

"Forget it. Just stop talking about it."

He nodded his head wildly. She would be lying if she had said that the feeling of him against hadn't made her fantasies run wild. Did he even remember that girl at the club? If they ever got to…that point would he compare her?

Beast Boy chuckled, his hands still covering his crotch. "Guess I was the one who was out of it this time huh…"

Raven peered at him out of the corner of her eye. "Do you remember anything?"

Beast Boy's blush answered her question. "Yeah," he cleared his throat. "The club was fun. I don't remember anything after I left though. I think I got a cab home?" He leaned his head to the side.

"I'm surprised you can even remember that to be honest."

"Yeah…I may have had one or two many shots…"

"You think?"

What followed would have been an awkward silence if Beast Boy hadn't of yawned and made the most unattractive sound Raven had ever heard, making her slump her shoulders.

"How are you feeling?" she asked in monotone. He finished his yawn and blinked a few times.

"Meh...hangovers not so bad."

"Shocking..."

There it was; the awkward silence. Both of the teenagers looked down at the bed below them, Raven still a bit shook up about feeling his erection pressed against her. She was aware that morning wood was a real thing, but that didn't change the fact that it had surprised her and made her feel extremely strange around him. Beast Boy snuffled loudly. Raven's eyes flicked up at him.

"So," he began. "We really slept together all night, huh?" his mouth twisted into a smile, his eyes squinting slightly.

"If by sleeping together you mean we were in the same bed, unconscious all night. Then yes, we slept together."

He snickered before getting serious. "I didn't…do anything douchy…did I?"

"Do you really think you'd be alive right now if you did?" She would ignore the cuddling for the time being. It really did bless her with a comfortable sleep, despite the awakening.

He nodded his head and looked to the side, his mouth surpressing a smile. Raven wondered what he was thinking and why he was fighting so hard to fight the smile. He looked ridiculous. They hadn't done anything to bring him joy; it was basically like a ten year olds sleepover, why in the name of all that was good was he getting so giddy?

She sighed and rolled off of the bed, landing on her feet. She needed a hot tea...and she needed Beast Boy to get the hell out of her room. Her eyes widened when she caught herself thinking this way.

Just the night before she had thrown a hissy fit when she had found out he had gotten into the club, and felt as though she would break when she saw the hickies on his neck. Now she wanted nothing more than for him to leave her presence because he was irritating her. She turned around and looked at him, he was still smiling. Perhaps now was the perfect opportunity to kiss again and once again try to figure out her feelings. They were alone. Then again, he probably wanted to go to him own room and sleep a bit more, he had said his hangover wasn't bad not that he didn't have one.

Like he was reading her mind, Beast Boy got up, wavering a bit in his spot before yawning again. Raven could have killed herself for quickly glancing down at his crotch to see if the bulge was still there, it wasn't. "I think," he said mid yawn. "I'm gonna go lie down a bit in my room. I'm not really hungover but I am hella tired."

Well, there goes her chance.

Raven nodded. "Good, I want to read for a bit. Don't forget to shut the door when you leave."

He waved his hand at her while he walked towards the door, grabbing his shoes that she had tossed on the floor the previous night. "I won't. Thanks for taking care of me Rae."

"Just don't let it happen again, or I will leave you on the floor."

Beast Boy shot her a smile before pulling the door open; both of their eyes widdened when he did so and Raven immediately felt like diving under her bed.

Starfire was standing outside of the door looking just as stunned as the two teens inside. Her arm was raised, her fist balled as though she were about to knock. Her eyes moved from Beast Boy to Raven and back again for a few moments before slowly lowering her arm to her side. Raven could see her green orbs landing on his neck.

His hickied neck.

"Oh…" was all she said.

"Star, it is not what it looks like." Raven blurted, rushing over to stand beside Beast Boy, furious that he had decided to stand there like a deer caught in headlights. "He-"

Starfire smiled widely, her long eyelashed eyes squinting as her face lit up. "Robin was worried that Beast Boy had gone missing. Joy, that I was able to find him here." Her voice seemed slightly off and Raven wondered if she was faking the obiviousness. Raven relaxed a bit. "We found friend Cyborg asleep on the garage floor and we were wondering where you could have gotten to."

Raven side glanced at Beast Boy only to see he was doing the same thing to her. "I thought you said he went home with someone?" she hissed under her breath, he shrugged. Starfire clapped her hands and spun on her heels, her long hair flicking towards the other two.

"I shall go tell Robin the good news!"

Raven pushed past the changling and grabbed Starfires shoulder, tugging her backwards. Starfire turned her head, her confused expression returning to her face. "Wait, Star. I need to talk to you for a minute, okay?" the purple haired teen pleaded. "Beast Boy, weren't you going back to your room?"

Beast Boy hesitated for a moment before nodding his head and side stepping past the two girls. "Yup, I'm just gonna go…lay down for a bit…later!" and with that he rushed down the hallway. Raven led the alien princess into her room, shutting the door. She took notice to Starfire looking over at the bed. Looking for what, she had no idea. Raven took a deep breath and calmed herself. The last thing she needed was for anything else to explode, especially something in her room. They hadn't been caught doing anything, she shouldn't have been as nervous as she was but she felt like a fifteen year old who had just been caught having sex by her parents. She shuddered at the sudden risque images that were flying through her head, images that included the green idiot himself.

Starfire smiled awkwardly. "I did not know that you and Beast Boy…"she begun but Raven quickly cut her off.

"We aren't! He came home late last night from the club and collapsed in my room. He was plastered and I didn't know what to do so I let him sleep here. That's it."

She stared hopfully at Starfire, hoping that she would believe her. It was the truth afterall. Starfire looked at her for a moment.

"So you are saying that the bites of love that were upon his neck..."

"Not my doing." Raven felt her cheeks flare.

Starfire took a sigh of relief. "That is the reielf." she said. Raven ignored the small part of her that questioned why and smiled slightly too. "I thought that it was very strange that you suddenly wanted to persue an intimate relationship with the Beast Boy, it is good to know you were ust being a considerate friend."

Yup…that's what she was doing.

Raven's smile fell a bit, though she tried hard to keep it up. Starfire patted her shoulder. "I feel bad that friend Cyborg didn't have someone like you to help when he fell asleep in the garage." She giggled. "He looks very uncomfortable."

"I'm sure he was fine."

Starfire levitated off the ground slightly, growing even taller than she already was. "I came here to ask you Raven if you want to accompany me to the mall of shopping this afternoon? Robin has asked me out on a date and I would really enjoy the company of another female while I try to find some new attire."

Raven thought about it for a minute. She hated shopping, especially with Starfire, god love her. What should only take two hours tops of browsing and trying clothes on, Starfire always managed to make to span the entire day trudging around the mall and visiting the same stores over, and over, and over again.

"Sure…" she said against her better judgement. It made the pinkette squeal with joy and fly even higher into the air, bringing her knees up. Raven's eyes shifted to the floor, avoiding the full frontal panty shot she was suddenly exposed to from the lifting of Starfire's mini skirt. No matter how many times she or Robin would tell her not to do that, she always did. She wasn't sure if she didn't understand, or just didn't care. She was pretty sure it was the latter. "Can't wait…"
