There and Back Again
Disclaimer: No...of course I don't own Teen Titans...now shoo!
"Repaired?" he squeaked, "Like…like Cy?"
"No," she smiled, and pulled him up. A portal opened and they landed in her room. She made quick work of removing his uniform and healing him. She gently leaned down and planted a soft kiss on his lips. His aura was warm and happy, but another emotion stirred beneath the love and lust.
He held her by the back of her head and deepened the kiss, she was rolled onto her back. Raven tangled her fingers in his hair, and Beast Boy held her waist. Now, they would both be lying if they said this was entirely new to them. Raven had strong emotions for Beast Boy by the time they were official, and worked on control as they progressed.
Beast Boy had told her once, "You could compare it to baseball I guess."
"Baseball?" she asked.
He rubbed his neck, "Uh, how about like…um, when Cyborg and I play video games."
Raven raised a brow, "…okay?"
He sat there and tried to put it to words, "There's different stages with, er, 'loving'…like, when we beat up little henchmen, that's like the first stage." he looked at her and saw she was following along, "And then disabling the bomb or something is the second stage. Beating up the personal guard is the third, and finally taking down the head honcho is the final stage."
Beast Boy looked up when she laughed, "What's so funny?"
"I know what sex is, Beast Boy," Raven smirked, "Kissing; making out with clothes on; making out without clothes; sex. That's what you meant to say, it just amused me with your analogy."
He smirked back, "Then, maybe sometime we can try them all.."
Beast Boy got his wish, they had worked their way up to making out minus uniforms. Raven was licking his neck and he took a breast in his hand and played with it. He groaned, Raven took this for pleasure and continued with more vigor, but he pulled away.
"This feels so right," he rubbed his face and ran a hand through his hair, "I just, Rae, I can't. I'm sorry."
She looked at him confused, and covered herself. His ears drooped, and she rubbed his shoulders, "What's wrong?"
He collapsed on her bed, "When I was gone, I tried to be normal."
Raven didn't think that was too out of the ordinary, when the team was apart they all felt the need to fit in. What could be more human than seeking acceptance?
"I…I met a girl, Rae." he began, "I went on a few dates, but something just made me pause."
Raven soaked the new information in, "…another woman?"
Beast Boy sat up, "I was confused and hurt, Raven. I'm still confused," he took her hands, "I thought of you, and I came back. You were with Aqualad. I thought maybe I should just let you be, and try to move on with another girl."
Raven looked away, and he turned her cheek, "Raven, I haven't stopped loving you. I just don't know what to do."
"What do you mean? Are you her boyfriend now?" she asked quietly.
"I just might be.." he sighed, "I don't want to abandon her. It hurts to feel abandoned."
Raven watched as he stood, he walked to the window and opened it. "Raven, I think I should go back to her."
"Beast Boy, I…"
He stepped onto the ledge, "Find me when you change your mind about us."
She ran to the window, he morphed into a raven and flew away. She cried herself to sleep.
Raven disguised herself in normal teen clothes and entered the city. She found Beast Boy at the pizza shop with his new girlfriend. She laughed at something he said, her laugh wasn't obnoxious or annoying- it was just genuine.
Raven hurried to a nearby table and watched her. Her hair was black brown, and her eyes were hazel. She didn't seem very girly, basically the opposite of Kitten. She could hear they were discussing video games. He smiled at her as she ranted about a boss battle.
Raven didn't know what to think, he found a girl just like him…recreationally anyway. She leaned in and kissed him on the cheek, and Raven turned red, as did Beast Boy. Raven quickly got up drawing attention to her movement, Beast Boy called out to her.
"Hey!" he greeted, and she walked over.
The girl looked at her and said, "'Sup. I'm Mae. It's short for Maven."
Raven narrowed her eyes at her, was this girl really making fun of her? Her aura suggested playfulness.
"I'm just kidding, that's just this really bitchy lady in Riften."
Raven had no clue what they were talking about, so the girl amended, "My name is actually May, I thought you played Skyrim, so I made a joke."
Raven nodded, "Beast Boy…I…I wanted you to know that I…I love you."
Beast Boy swallowed, "Rae."
May looked between the two, "Look, I get you guys were together. But if you guys broke up the first time, clearly something wasn't working. Beast Boy likes me and I like him, we're happy."
Raven read her emotions; smugness, guilt, and confusion. Some affection rolled around.
"Beast Boy loves me," Raven looked into his eyes and ignored the world, "He saved me and showed me that it was okay to open up and believe I could be loved. He appreciated me at my lowest of lows and highest of highs."
Beast Boy smiled, and she continued, "And if he would let me, I would like him to be my man again. I might not be perfect, but for you, I'd try."
She cupped his face and kissed him, "You taste like love."
He blushed, turning to May, "I'm sorry May, but I think I need to do what's right."
"Right?" she whimpered.
"I think you'd be safest not dating a superhero. With a girl as pretty as you, with your interests, guys should be tripping over each other to date you." he hugged May, "I'm sorry, I'm not what you're looking for, Rae is the girl for me."
Raven read the girl's emotions; understanding, disappointment, relief.
"I get it, Beast Boy. We can still play online I guess, see you around." May quickly grabbed her things and hurried home.
Raven hugged Beast Boy through the portal back to the tower.
