I've never written AUs before... but these next few will probably be AU prompts! Note, in this one, at least, I kept the Titans with their standard appearances.


Tap tap tap.

Cursing under his breath, Garfield kicking an obstructing, unlabeled box from the doorway, only to cringe at the sound of breaking glass. Tableware. The soft rapping continued. A little louder, a lot more annoying.

Tap tap tap.

"Coming!" Garfield snapped. Hot, sweaty, and irritated were almost never a good combination, even for the lighthearted changeling.

Opposite of the door, a petite girl stood, just as irritated. She readied herself to knock again, only to instead flinch at the sound of breaking glass. That was not a pleasant sound effect, nor the voice she'd expected to hear.

After a third tapping, a two second wait, and a classic eyeroll, the girl backed away from New Apartment No. 52.

She was halfway down the hall when she heard the door open. "Wait!" Clutching her package to her chest, the sorceress turned and tentatively reproached.

Oh, he's cute. Focusing on the green man's face, she noticed he was undeniably handsome, with a tiny lower canine that protruded just over his upper lip. Attractive, even with his forehead was beaded with sweat, hair messy, and adorably pointed ears. Raven quickly shooed the thoughts from her mind.

"Um, hello?" The young man leaned in his doorway, eyebrows raised and a friendly smile playing his lips. "What's your name?"

Raven grasped her package tighter, pushing a strand of messy violet hair from her cheek. "I'm, um-wait, I have the wrong apartment…" Her voice trailed off nervously. It wasn't as if the sorceress had a particular fear of people. Just a certain dislike for new neighbors, especially those who made her sweat with casual smiles. Not knowing exactly how to escape, she continued. "I'm looking for Victor Stone," Slender fingers rolled over the soft cardboard in her hands. "You wouldn't happen to know where he lives?"

"Vic?" Garfield pushed a hand through his hair, wishing he'd at least brushed it. "He's my roommate! I'm Gar, by the way." He playfully opened the door in a grand matter, only for his cheeks to flush when he realized how messy it was. "Uh.. We just moved in yesterday."

"I see." Raven nodded, slowly regaining confidence. She couldn't help but notice the bashful downturn of his ears as his emerald eyes examined her for the second time. "Well, looks like you have some work to do." She surveyed the room thoroughly, before her jewel toned eyes reconnected with his. "I suppose I'll come back later…" She offered a small smile.

Garfield shook his head. He didn't want this exotic mystery girl to leave quite yet. Who knew when he'd see her again? "Well, actually… Vic said he'll be back in a bit, if you wanna wait around?–Unless you have something else to do!" Garfield dug his canine deeper into his lip. Pretty girls had a habit of making him nervous.

"Oh, well, if you don't mind.." Raven faced him, hoping the excitement buzzing in her brain wasn't evident on her face.

Garfield did anything but mind. He relaxed, holding his door open for the tiny girl to enter. He couldn't help but watch her walk past. "Oh, I never caught your name?"

"It's Raven."

"Nice to meet ya, Rae."

"Raven."

Garfield just grinned.
