The first day of BBRae Week for Fall 2015! I hadn't previously been planning on participating but I just couldn't resist. (: Since we've previously had a ship week this year, I will be writing Beast Boy and Raven as a couple already. I hope you enjoy! Please no flames but comments are always appreciated!


Tap tap…. tap tap tap….

The light flutter on her door soon stirred the young sorceress awake. Pushing the heavy duvet from her face, Raven cloaked herself in a bit of black magic and appeared at her doorway in a silken bathroom seconds later.

"Can I help you?" Raven arched an expectant brow, twirling her slender fingers around the slippery robe tied around her waist.

"Don't be a brat," Beast Boy chuckled, his hands immediately taking to her waist as his lips brushed over her chakra. The deep crimson of his favorite plaid pajamas held a rich, stark contrast against his skin, which seemed even more viridescent against the warm tones of fallen leaves and caramel apples.

Raven sighed in mock irritation although the smile across her lips was inevitable. Stepping backwards carefully, Raven flicked her door closed and waved her palm over the crimson cinnamon candles. Then, she returned to sit neatly on her bedside, still fidgeting with the robe's smooth tie. Wandering amethyst eyes found their way to emerald ones like magnets, like they always did. Offering an expectant half smile, Raven prompted the changeling to begin.

But he didn't. He only took, to batting the silken tie of her robe like a kitten. The playful sparkle in his pupils never failed to shine brighter when it caught her eyes. Raven allowed herself to bask in his twinkling light for another moment before placing a hand over his so his attempts to loosen the rich ebony robe would cease.

"Garfield," Raven raised both brows, searching for any indication of why he'd entered her room this morning. It wasn't that she minded, in fact quite the opposite, but the sorceress had sensed waves of apprehension beneath the changeling's relaxed persona. "Did you have plans for us today?"

Banking on the fact that the question was yes, she awaited an ultimate list the series of the day's events; perhaps pumpkin picking, mile long corn mazes, and caramel apples were among the plans for this crisp fall day. But he shook his head and Raven couldn't help but feel a twinge of disappointment.

"It's a perfect fall day…." She baited, eyes leaving his to cast a sidelong glance at the foggy morning air, surrounding the tower like a snug blanket.

"Mhmm," Beast Boy agreed, crawling under her velvety duvet. Taking a pillow from her propped stack, he promptly pressed his right ear to the soft down and continued to glance upward towards his sorceress. "But you know Rae…. It's supposed to be kind of cold out today," his chest heaved in a stifled yawn, already feeling a tad too cozy in Raven's bed. "I have a better idea than fall festivities."

Raven cocked her head, the unimpressed glint in her eyes more than obvious. Although semi-perplexed, the sorceress didn't make a move to stop Beast Boy's fingers when they pulled the bow knot on her robe loose. Beneath she only bared her mishap combination of a sheer lace nightie and knee high fuzzy striped socks. Unable to contain his grin, Beast Boy bit his lip in a weak effort. The robe was slipping unbearably slowly from her shoulders and Raven let gravity tease the changeling for a few more moments before removing the robe from her shoulders herself.

Tucking her neatly beneath the duvet, Beast Boy scooted closer so they were nose to nose.

"Raven," his hand found her waist beneath the warm covers and he rolled her closer to himself. "I think we should have a lazy day," he murmured,breath tickling the wisps of lavender hair that fell just above her left shoulder.

"That seems like a waste," Raven arguable with a kind mirth.

"Oh?" His genuine shock showed in his actions, as his fingers slowed in their trail up and down her shoulder, bicep, and forearm, before resting intertwined with hers. He wrapped his hand gently over her thin fingers, feeling every tensed muscle relax. "Then maybe," he kissed the tender skin behind her ear, satisfied as she curled closer to his chest. "Maybe just a lazy morning?"

Raven nodded, eyelids already drooping. Lazy mornings were good.
