"I want to sleep in late. Very late!"
"Terra..when don't you ever want to sleep in late?"
Raven tossed a small pillow at the blonde. At least in her direction and was met with a giggle. Bingo! Must have hit. Raven pumped her fist in triumph and mouthed 'Yes' to herself. A quirk she picked up from her cousin over the years. There was shuffling and rustling from beside her and an lamp clicked on.
"Whoa!"
"Oh my god, it hurts!"
"Blargh!"
Another pillow was tossed. This time at Jinx, with a pleasing 'thwack' sound, that made her fall back onto her ass. Everyone had a good giggle. Sleep wasn't going to be found tonight, not that anyone seemed to mind anymore. The girls shifted and got comfortable. Jinx sat Indian-style, hugging the pillow that was chucked at her. Raven laid on her back with her arms folded under her head, Terra was sprawled out on her stomach and kicking her feet up, Moon was bundled in her blankets but facing everyone and Kori was also sitting up.
Raven let her gaze slide over the scene quickly and sighed. She remembered why she stopped attending sleep-overs so many years ago. She new this scenario..it was time to gossip..or play 'Truth or Dare' and all that bullshit. 'Greaaat' She drawled mentally and shook her head slightly.
"Alright girlies!" Jinx sat up straighter and looked at each girl. "We have a few options. Ghost stories. Truth or Dare - a classic, both really. We can chat about boys, though that will happen anyway. Facial, manicures, pedicure, etc etc." She grinned and looked them over again. "Any other suggestions?"
Moon shrugged beneath her blanket and replied with a "Not really". Kori shrugged also, bouncing around and beaming a smile at the thought of a facial and gossip. Terra looked a little dazed, her brows furrowed, eyes unfocused and clicking a fingernail against her teeth. Jinx crossed her eyes at the unaware girl. Raven rolled on to her side.
"As long as it doesn't require me to wear anything pink, then anything will do."
Jinx turned slowly toward her friend. Devilish grin in place and a frisky glint to her eyes. "Raven my dear, Truth or Dare?"
The other girls seemed to lean in closer. Raven usually disliked these types of games. They were eager for her answer. She stuck her tongue out. "Truth"...
Hours had passed. Two at the most as the girls had gradually moved into a circle on the floor. The game of 'Truth or Dare' never really ended. The game led into conversation, that led into stories - ghost and real-life - that led back into 'T or D'. A few ghost stories were told that had Kori scared out of her wits and clinging to Moon. Not that the younger girl was complaining.
Now they found themselves at 'Truth or Dare' yet again. Raven chose truth this time also and was asked who and when her first real crush was. Her sigh was heavy as she leaned back against the couch. She shared a look with Jinx, who gave her a wink, and tossed another pillow at her before speaking.
"It was freshman year. A couple of months before Jinx and I started hanging out with the klutz over there". Terra made a face at her and Raven smiled. "His name was Rorek". Jinx, Terra and Raven sighed dreamily. Kori was a year behind, Moon two, so they waited eagerly for explanations. The other three recovered quickly. "He had these gorgeous blue eyes". 'Though they don't compare to Robins' She thought to herself. In those few seconds Jinx had cut in, telling them to 'Hold on' as she hopped up and jogged out of the room. She returned quickly with a yearbook, opened it to a certain page and handed it to Kori and Moon. Pointing out Rorek. They also sighed dreamily before Moon piped up.
"Wait. There's two pictures of him". She scanned the name list and smirked, looking back at Raven. "Twins, huh? Gorgeous too".
"And that ended up being the demise of Ravens' crush". Jinx said dramatically and patted her friend's knee. "Poor girl!"
"What do you mean?" The redhead asked.
Raven sighed again and resisted the urge to roll her eyes. It was an effort but she succeeded. Jinx patted her knee again.
"Don't worry darling. I'll explain". The pink-haired devil sent a look along with that declaration that Raven could only describe as part motherly and part mischievous. It made her laugh all the same. She swept her hand out, with a smile of course, and said "Be my guest".
Everyone moved in closer to Jinx. She cleared her throat and grinned. She loved gossip, even if it was about her best friend, but she knew Raven was over it and didn't mind.
"Yeah. So twins. Hot twins at that. Rorek and Malchior. Yeah. Strange names" Jinx rolled her eyes and rambled on. "Their parents were some Medieval LARPers or something. Anyway, back to Raven. The short and sweet of it..."
Ravens cell-phone rang. Everyone paused long enough for the goth teen to retrieve the phone and walk out into the hallway with it. jinx continued on.
"Is that Raven had a crush on Rorek. He was a loner and book-type, like herself. Problem was that Malchior had the hots for her! Really. We don't know how but Mal found out that she liked his brother and being a little demented as he was, called her acting like Rorek and asked her out. She accepted of course. He had called Friday, they went out that Saturday. Remind you that they look and sound alike. So they go out on this date, Raven thinks it's Rorek, Mal -as Rory- is acting like a total ass the entire time. I still don't know all the details of that day. But for awhile there was a rift between the three when everything was found out. However it was all cleared up and the twins moved away a short time later, sadly. But Raven still talks to them now and then to this day."
Jinx inhaled deeply and smirked. The three girls stared at her with wide eyes and mouths agape. Partly because of the story -well if you called it a story, they were still a little confused - but mostly they were in awe of Jinx's ability to blab on forever without the need to breathe.
------------------------
As the gossip queen had began her rant, Raven moved out into the hall. Her cell still ringing the Batman jingle indicating that it was Robin - he programmed the ringer himself. She closed the door behind her and clicked the phone on. Moving further down the hall as she spoke.
"You're calling mighty late".
"Hello to you too and it's only two a.m. Not like you'd be asleep". His voice was cocky and confident and she could imagine the smirk he was wearing.
"I could have been though". She smiled slowly.
"You're having one of those girl nights, I'd be surprise if you were sleeping".
"Yeah well. Why are you still awake? Aren't you sleeping by ten, you sissy?" Her voice was light and sweet and made Robin smile.
"But you love this sissy!"
Raven chuckled. "Something like that".
Robin pouted at his phone. "You do. Admit it."
Raven leaned against her bedroom door, at the end of the hall.She could vaguely hear Jinx still blathering on. The smile on her lips widened. She knew what he was doing.
"Perhaps I do".
"You dooo...I know you do". Robin taunted her about it. They had said it before. Maybe only once. It was still new but he needed to hear it tonight. Before she could answer, he whispered into the phone. "Tell me":
She exhaled deeply and slide down the door to settle on the floor. The phone was switched from one ear to the other and she sent a glance down the hall toward the closed Rec room door where her friends were. She wasn't ashamed or hiding, just wanted privacy. Robin spoke to her again and she focused back on him.
"Hmm". She said slowly. "You're being demanding tonight".
Robin grinned. He snuggled further into his bedding. "Teeelll meee..."
He drawled out. Glad that his bunkmates were dead asleep and snoring. He was greeted with a huffing sound from the other end of the line.
Raven stretched her legs out in front of her after huffing loudly - and on purpose- into the phone. She swept some hair form her eyes and spoke.
"Robin..."
She paused, cradling the phone lovingly in her hand. "Ro...Richard".
She purred his real name out. Slow and raspy and grinned to herself when she heard him stifle a moan. He really liked when she used his given name. She continued.
"Richard...I love you".
They both smiled. Robin rubbed his free hand over his heart and answered her back. "I love you, Raven".
A minute or two of comfortable silence passed between the two before Raven cleared her throat and restarted the conversation.
"So...why are you awake?"
He shrugged against the mattress. "No reason really. I was sleeping but woke up not too long ago. I wanted to call."
"Hmm". She hummed lightly into the phone's mouthpiece.
Robin chuckled abruptly, causing Raven to raise a brow and question him. "What's funny?"
He shook his head and rubbed at his eyes, smiling wide the whole time. "Keep making those noises and I'm gonna have a problem to take care of soon".
"Ooh...really." She shrugged though he couldn't see it.
"Yes. Really." He licked his lips and inhaled deeply.
The door to the Rec room burst opened - making Raven gasp and jerk back against her own door - and a head with blond hair poked out.
"Raaaveeeen...yooo hoooo..." Terra, knowing Raven saw her, called out anyway. She was answered first by an eye-roll and second by the startled girls' middle finger. Terra only blinked.
Raven groaned and turned her attention back to the phone where she could hear Robin calling her name. 'Hold on' she asked him, shifted her hand over the mouthpiece and whispered loudly at the blond. "What is it?"
"Are you coming back or what? You've been out here forever. Girls' Night, remember? Hellooo!"
Raven waved her away. "Yeah yeah. Give me a few minutes".
Terra made a face but returned to the room. Raven sighed and moved her hand away from the phone.
"Robin?"
"Yes?"
"I'm being beckoned."
Robin whined. "Do you hafta?"
"Well if I don't, they'll just keep coming out and it can only get worst". She stood slowly and stretched her body.
"Damn. It was getting good too..."
"Yeah."
He sighed. Made it loud and drawn out. Making it clear it didn't want to end the call.
"Quit your whining". Said Raven.
"No". He said grumpily. "Fine. I'll see you in a few days then."
"Sure will, Night".
"Night Pumpkins!" He giggled. Actually giggled - like a schoolgirl.
"ROBIN!" She growled firmly. She hated that pet name.
Her reply was the dial tone because he had hung up on her. She cursed at him.Cursed the phone. Then rung her hands around it as she imagined her lovely boyfriends' neck. One of these days he was gonna get it. She grinned. Quite evilly.

AN's - If anyone is still actually bothering to read this story...
Hiyas. Long time, eh. So yeah. Here's the next chapter, finally. Lot's was happening and I just couldn't find the time. It's not as long as I would have liked. but I made it extra cheesy to make up. Hope you all enjoyed it.
Two things to explain...
LARPers.. cuz I know someone will ask.. it should be L.A.R.Pers... LARP stands for Live Action Role Play. I thought it fit in with Rorek and all that...speaking of which..
I had thought about adding Rorek a long time ago but hadn't found anywhere to fit him at the time... But then on an Oekaki board, at umm i think at titansgo-dot-net they started all these drawings of Rorek and human-esk renditions of Malchoir and I got the idea to make them twins and finally put them in. So thats that.
Also a 'shoutout' to Chamzi, again, for getting me on the roll and writing again. Thanks )
