Here it is the second chapter of Happy! Pretty M but no actual sex. Also, kind of kinky Raven. Please, R&R! Standard disclaimers apply and all that. Enjoy!
Raven pushed her hair from her sweat coated face and tried to hide herself from Beast boy's line of sight by ducking behind Starfire. She heard him chuckle behind her before she felt arms wrap around his waist and he pressed her against his body. She turned around and sighed. He smiled at her and she knew he knew her fears. Then he whispered that she was always beautiful and he didn't care about some sweat.
"Liar."
"I don't lie. I need a shower too. I guess Star and Rob had a fight. Today's workout was brutal." He put his arm around her waist and led her to the elevator. The others looked at them curiously. "Hey, I was wondering. Since it's a date, should we go out of uniform? Just so people know we're off duty?"
"You just want to see me in street clothes." He laughed. "Yeah. We should. I don't want people bothering us with cats stuck in trees." He nodded and kissed her forehead. "Doesn't it bother you that I'm all sweaty?"
"Nah. Part of the territory, you know?" She nodded and hugged him tightly. "Did he mind it?"
"Yeah. He made faces." She looked down and he nodded.
"That sucks. You deserve way better. You deserve better than me too though. Crap, I'm just trying to make you break up with me, huh?"
She smiled and flicked his forehead. "Pretty much. But you're also putting yourself down."
"No, Rave. That's reality. I'm not worthy." She rolled her eyes and he smiled down at her. "But I sure am lucky. I was thinking, we've got some time before the movie. Wanna grab lunch? There's this diner that serves both vegetarian and regular meals. Really good deserts that you can request be made with soy milk."
"Sounds perfect," she told him. He grinned. "I bet you go there often."
"Yeah. Everything I wanna get away. I love it. Wanna?" She nodded and he smiled even more. "I'm glad. I think you'll like it. I know how much you like chocolate."
"How do you know that? I mean, I always tell everyone else I don't but you always bring me chocolate stuff when you and Cyborg go to the candy store. How'd you know?"
"Your eyes the first time I offered up a chocolate bunny. You said that you could never eat something so sweet but your eyes said that you wanted it. Ever had chocolate covered strawberries? I think you'd love those." She smiled and kissed his lips gently. "Okay, so, since we're going out for lunch, we need to take less than an hour to get ready."
"Great. So much for looking perfect on our first date."
"Well, if you'd like, we could go to lunch after the movie." She thought then nodded and kissed him deeply outside her door. He grinned goofily and waved before running to his own room.
Raven showered and towel dried her hair before brushing it and applying her make-up. Black lipstick and black eyeliner. She'd apply her eye-shadow when she knew what she was going to wear. Wearing nothing but her bra and boy-short panties, she began to look through her closet and dresser for something to wear. She wanted to wear something nice and feminine. Something that made Beast boy grin and think she was as beautiful as she wanted to be. She found her fishnets in her drawer and tossed them on the bed. Then she removed some black jean shorts from her bottom drawer and tossed them on the bed too. After some time of debate, she selected a dark blue top. She pulled on her fishnets carefully then her shorts and the top, a simple tank top. She found her fishnet gloves as well and slipped them on along with some black bracelets. She took her belt from her uniform and let it hang on her hips. Then she put on a necklace with a black gemmed raven on it and put black studs in her ears. She studied her appearance after applying her black eye shadow and decided it was horrible. Before she could change though, there was a knock on the door.
"Rave? We've gotta go soon!" It was Beast boy and he sounded nervous.
"Damn it," she muttered before going to the door and opening it. "I can't. I look horrible."
He gawked at her. Everything she was wearing…somehow, it directed his attention to everyone one of her best qualities. Her long legs caught his attention because of her sneakers and fishnets, her shorts hugged her hips along with the belt, and her shirt and necklace directed his attention to her barely visible cleavage. "Y-Yeah," he stuttered. "You should change."
She groaned and walked over to her closet. His pants tightened from watching her hips sway. He stepped inside and shut the door when he realized he said the wrong thing. "I knew it."
"No, I didn't mean it like that! I meant that I…You look a little too hot, if you know what I mean." She turned and looked at him quizzically until realization dawned on her – after seeing his problem of course – and a coy little smirk graced her lips. "Don't smile like that. It just makes it worse."
She walked to him and he watched her hips, licking his lips involuntarily. Then she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him long and hard. Beast boy put his arms around her and drew her flush against his body. She felt good against him. Before either could stop themselves, they found themselves on her bed, hands roaming eagerly. Beast boy trailed his hand down her thigh to knee and she automatically knew what he wanted. She hooked her leg around his waist and the bulge in his pants brushed her feminine heat, causing them both to moan. "We're going to miss the movie."
"No, we're not. We've got ten minutes and I've got dark energy," she said seductively, unbuttoning his shirt with said dark energy. He grinned and moved his lips to her neck. "Just enough time for a quick make-out session. And for me to fix this."
He groaned as she rubbed the bulge in his black pants and sank his fangs into her skin on accident. She gasped and he jumped off her. "Sorry! I didn't mean to!"
That was it, he knew it. He'd screwed it up and she was going to hate him forever. He drew blood, for Christ sakes. And he liked the taste of it, which was equally screwed up. Raven put her hand to her neck and looked at the blood on her fingers curiously. She could hear Garfield apologizing profusely, begging her forgiveness, but it sounded muted. Why did she cry out like that? Why did she feel so amazing when he bit her? She looked away from her fingers in time to see her lover lick his lips of her blood and saw the excitement and panic in his eyes. Her violet eyes widened when she understood and he looked at her curiously. "Rave?"
"Don't be sorry. Come kiss me." He smiled at how easily she forgave him and knelt by her bed to kiss her hands then her lips. She tugged on his purple dress shirt and he let her pull him back on top of her on the bed. "I didn't mind," she purred into his pointed ear before she took the tip between her lips and sucked. She heard him purr and groan out a soft, "Damn," and knew his ears were sensitive. "You can't walk around with an erection, Gar. Teach me to fix it?"
He turned his head so she couldn't get at his ears and said, "After our date, yeah? I want us to at least go on one date before getting that far into it."
She nodded and began to button his shirt. "Then we need to get moving."
He nodded and smoothed her hair for her. She took her time with his shirt, he noticed, and left the first three buttons undone. "Before we go though, will you bite me?"
"What?" he said in surprise.
"Just a small bite. Just enough to leave a mark." He thought somewhat then felt her hand on his cheek and looked up. "I just want you to leave your mark on me."
He looked surprised but pleased. "I'd love that." She smiled but then he said, "No, I shouldn't." She wasn't even sure why he was so torn but he looked pained. "I can't hurt you like that, Rave. I love you."
"But I'm asking you to." He shook his head and she sighed but nodded her understanding. "Okay. Let's go, okay? Maybe the cold will calm you down."
Once in front of the movie theater, her joke turned out to be corrected. The teleportation worked better than a cold shower. Beast boy held out his arm and Raven linked hers with it. Though she was disappointed he wouldn't bite her, she was almost entirely certain she could get him to do so later on. He led her to the snack bar and told her to pick whatever she wanted. "Well, let's get popcorn to split."
"Kay. What to drink? Candy?"
"We don't need the sugar." Once at the counter, he ordered their sodas and popcorn then ordered licorice and the strange chocolate candies called Cocoa Skulls that only that theater carried. She rolled her eyes but took the box of Skulls and her soda. He paid the pretty little Goth working the counter and put a couple of dollars in the tip jar.
The brunette leered at him and said, "Thanks, sweetie."
Raven rolled her eyes and Beast boy smiled at her kindly. She didn't like it but he immediately put his arm around her after figuring out how to balance the popcorn, licorice, and his drink in one arm. "She was cute."
"Raven, you don't swing that way, do you?" He actually looked enticed by the idea. "Cause we could probably go back and ask her to join us later."
"No! I'm not bisexual, Gar. I just thought you would have noticed." He shrugged. "You didn't notice?"
"No, I noticed. I just don't care. I love you, Rae. A stranger with lusty eyes isn't going to change that. Especially with you in that outfit." She smiled and kissed him as a reward. "Good answer?"
"Very. I'm glad you're not a total dog like other guys."
"That's not exactly true. I'm currently undressing you with my mind." She laughed quietly and moved out of his embrace. "Aw, what'd I say?"
"You're going to drop something." He sighed but unfortunately admitted she was right. The valet took their tickets, gave them directions to their theater, and told them to enjoy the show after giving them their stubs. "Well, you're doing surprisingly well for someone not at all into Gothic culture."
"Hey, I like you, don't I?" He grinned and she smiled. She led him up some stairs once inside their theater to the balcony that no one really sat in. They'd have it all to themselves, which sent thrills through her. They sat down and he grinned at her as the previews began to play. "We could've waited to come, I guess. It hasn't even started yet."
"No, it hasn't." She opened the chocolate candy and poured a few into her hand. "Want one?"
He nodded, thanked her, and took a chocolate skull in his hand. She watched him put it in her mouth with a smirk. Did he even know how sexy he was? "What?"
"Nothing. Does it taste all right?" He smirked and leaned in.
"Wanna find out?" She laughed when she caught his meaning and nodded. He kissed her deeply and she moaned at how his fangs scraped her tongue. "My kinky little Raven," he teased. "You like my fangs a little too much."
"I can't wait until we make love. And you loose control again," she whispered into his pointed ear. He jumped away and fell onto the ground. She looked at him in alarm. "Are you okay?"
"Okay, I like the kinky stuff, Rave, but you gotta take it easy or I'll end up biting you here." She smirked and his ears drooped as he blushed. She apparently wouldn't mind. "Never mind. Okay, here's the deal." He knelt and put his hands on her thighs. "Chill out with the teasing or I'll never bite you."
She stuck out her bottom lip like Starfire had taught her and his eyes widened at the sexy little pout. "Fine. But that means you have to stop teasing me too. No more purposely scraping my tongue."
He sighed but nodded and moved back into his seat. They managed to make it through the movie without completely loosing it but Raven made sure to look enticed when bite scenes came about. Beast boy bit his own tongue as he watched her curious and intrigued expression. So she really wanted to be bitten, huh? Well, maybe when they made love he would loose control. But that wasn't happening for a while, he decided. They needed to take it easy and slow down. After all, they weren't in it for the sex.
After the movie, they deposited the empty bag of popcorn and cups in a trash can and left. "Where's this diner?"
"Not far. I thought we'd walk." She nodded and put her arm through his. "Uh, Rave? Can we talk seriously?"
"Sure," she said with a nod. He took a deep breath and thought, trying to decide how to start. "It's okay, Gar. Whatever you have to say is fine."
"Okay, well, about us actually doing the deed, you know? I think we should wait a bit. Robin told me earlier that if we're going to be together, we need to move slowly. So that if it doesn't work out, and these are his words here, things won't be so awkward it'll break up the team. And I agree. I mean, I think we're going to have a great relationship but still. The better the relationship, the worse the breakup. So, let's wait at least a week. Just to test our feelings?" he said nervously.
"Fine. We won't go that far for a week. But at that time, I won't hear anything about Robin's rules and whatnot." He nodded and kissed her cheek as a thank you for understanding. "I guess you're right anyway. We need to take it easy or we'll fall apart. I don't want that."
"Me neither."
"Now, where exactly is this diner because your definition of not far and mine are a little different." He rubbed the back of his neck and chuckled awkwardly before telling her it was six blocks away. "My point is made."
"Sorry," he mumbled. She smiled and kissed him. "Forgiven?"
"Yes. I don't mind the walk anyway. So long as you keep your arm around me." He slipped his arm around her waist and she leaned into him as they walked. People gawked at them but she didn't mind. At least, she didn't mind until she began to hear them mutter about how strange it was for a beauty like her to be with a disgusting green freak like Beast boy. Then she wanted to kill them and cover Beast boy's ears. He could hear it, despite how he pretended he couldn't. "Just ignore them."
"It's fine, Rae. You're the one who should be embarrassed. It's not like they're wrong." He let go of her and she took his hand quickly. "Why shouldn't you be ashamed?"
"Because their opinions don't matter. I love you, Gar. And I love how you look. You know, in my dimension, girl would be all over you." He looked confused. "You're somewhat tall, you're muscular, you've got those delicious fangs, and I just want to play with your ears during 'the deed.'" He chuckled. "Plus, any girl in my dimension would have the same thoughts as me about your skin."
"What thoughts are those?" He put his arm back around her and kissed her cheek.
"That your skin is like limes and is just as delicious." He chuckled again and kissed her once more. "Better now?"
"Yeah. Thanks, Rave. You're the first girl to really accept me the way I am. Even Terra didn't like my appearance." Garfield looked down at his beautiful goddess and wondered if she was ever insecure. "You're beautiful, Rae. Have I told you that enough?"
"Enough for me to believe it?" He nodded. "Not yet. But if you keep saying it I might."
"You're a goddess. Any guy in every dimension would love your appearance as much as I do. You've got such long legs yet you're so petite; it's kind of hard to understand how that's possible." She laughed slightly and he grinned. "And you've got such perfect curves and you know every guy wants to touch 'em."
"And yet only you will get to."
"Luckiest guy alive, I tell you. Not to mention that silky hair and skin. Plus your eyes," he continued. He grinned dreamily.
"What about my eyes?"
"Well, let's just say that every guy wants to see them filled with lust for him. You're made to tease men and very beautiful, Rae. Don't ever doubt that." She stopped him in his tracks and kissed him deeply. "Did I mention your lips yet?"
"No but you will. At the end of the week. Now let's go eat before we start scarring little kids." He nodded and opened the diner's door for her. "Thank you, Gar."

Raven and Beast boy settled into their relationship easily but the others were having a hard time understanding how they went from hating each other to loving each other in less than a day. Cyborg invited Beast boy to help him buff the T-Car but it was just a ploy to ask him about it. BB explained that he loved Raven before they got together and that it shouldn't matter how long they had loved each other. All that mattered was that it was real. Cyborg took to it on the second day after that conversation. Raven actually dragged Starfire to the mall to buy something stunning for the elegant dinner and night of dancing Beast boy had told her he was planning on the third day and the alien was pleased by the change. Inside the Gothic clothing store, Starfire asked, "How long have you loved friend Beast boy?"
"I've loved Gar for a month, Star. Not that it matters. We love each other and that's all that matters." Star beamed at her friend's answer. They pushed through the dress rack but came up empty and were about to leave when Star saw the curtain separating the lingerie section from the rest of the store.
Raven followed her reluctantly and a Goth boy eyed them before approaching and saying, "What can I help you ladies buy today?"
"Well, my friend has her first serious boyfriend, sir, and she needs something sexy to wear for him." The Goth looked disappointed but nodded and led them to a rack. He lifted a lacy bra and panties set in dark gray and showed it to Raven. "That is perfect," Starfire said.
"Uh, no. I don't think Gar would like it."
"Miss, this is the piece most men pick out for their girls. And it was made for you."
"Well, thank you but I didn't mean the way it's made. I meant the color. Gar doesn't like gray. Do you have black?" Raven asked. He grinned and picked out a black one. "This should entice him, all right."
"You should get a nightshirt," Starfire whispered. "I bought one when Robin began sleeping in my room. I bought one in red that barely covers me and he can rarely keep his hands off me. Especially when I wear it with my own panty set."
"Too much information, Star." Then Raven thought, nodded, and turned to the clerk. "Do you have anything for vampire fanatics?"
He arched an eyebrow and she smiled as she thought of Garfield's reaction. Starfire giggled and explained, "Her boyfriend is Beast boy of the Teen Titans. He has fangs."
"I can help you with that," he said with a grin. They left the shop with a bag apiece and went to the elegant dress shop. After a while, they found a black dress with a frilly skirt and a wrap to go with it. Then they spent the rest of two hours walking around and looking at all the Halloween decorations and shops, as it was less than a week before Halloween. Raven couldn't wait for her date with Beast boy the next day. Then, on Halloween night, they were going to the mayor's annual Halloween ball/fundraiser and afterwards, they would make love. Beast boy had grinned when he realized that the end of the week was on Halloween and told her that it would be the best Halloween ever. And he was right.
There is going to be third chapter, definitely! Might be a fourth, if I feel like it. In the next one, they'll go on their second date and Raven will reveal her new outfits. REVIEWS ARE MORE THAN WELCOME, PLEASE!
