"Beast Boy-Could you help me tie my suit?"

Back to the red faced changeling, Raven's slender fingers fidgeted with the thin strings of her swimming suit. It was a simple black one piece, not much different than her standard Titan uniform, save the plunging back. However, the spaghetti-thin straps proved problematic for the sorceress. Back muscles twitching in irritation, she gave up. Twisting the long tendrils around her index finger at the base of her neck, she waited for her teammate to assist.

"Garfield?"

"I-I don't know how." He wiggled his fingers and grinned timidly.

Truthfully, changeling didn't feel he could do anything at the moment. Too paralyzed, as he gawked at the sexy divot of Raven's spinal cord, the way she arched her back in exaggerated frustration. Knowing she'd be angry if he didn't help, and angrier if she knew why, Beast Boy swallowed his desire. Taking a shaky step forward, Garfield took the strings.

Fingers trembling, he tried to remember how to tie a knot. Left over right… under… tighten… His fingers slipped, and the messy knot fell loose. Palms wetting in hurried fluster, he tried to control his speeding heart. Brows furrowing, he stepped closer to fix his mistake.

Upon closer proximity, he noticed his hips were almost touching her backside, and dug his canine further into his flesh. Leaning closer to her neck, he bit at the string, desperately trying to hold it in place. Faint jasmine and ancient oil infiltrated his senses, and the changeling pressed closer, lips grazing the space between her hair. Raven moaned quietly at the tickle, and it took ever fiber in his being to stand down. Not now, Garfield. Taking the string again, he tied a hasty knot and backed away, like she was fire and he was made of ice.

"Th-there ya go, Rae!" He grinned sheepishly, turning away from her slightly.

"Are you…" She waved off the feeling of nervousness coming from the changeling. Raven turned to face him, running her hand over her opposite shoulder, and to the sloppy knot. "Beast Boy, I wanted a bow." Frowning at his skittishness, she felt the thin strings, pulled taught in haste. "How am I supposed to get this knot out?"

"Oh, you can leave that to me." Beast Boy bit back a smirk, watching Raven's unimpressed expression from the corner of his eye.

"Are you hitting on me, Gar?" She arched a brow.

Beast Boy's eyes widened as he realized what he'd allow slip out. Common sense must've failed him, as straightforward thinking was tripping over every hurdle it encountered.

"Uh…heh, no," He eyed an escape route. "I rust j-just-just remembered, I left my-uh, I need to go meditate!" He rushed to the doorway, growling upon hearing her skeptical response. He needed to get out of there, now. Deciding not to wait, he continued his exit at a slower pace.

"Meditate?"

"Uh… yeah." He called over his shoulder, then slammed the bathroom door shut. "Something like that."
