"Cute" was the first thing that came to my mind for some....BIZARRE reason that my "twisted and overly creepy" mind couldn't understand...or that's how Beast Boy put it.
Now I was explaining "cute" wasn't I?
Usually, "cute" is what twelve-year-olds use to define their new cat, or what fourteen-year-olds use to describe the lastest new pop star...male of course...assuming that the twelve and fourteen-year-olds are female.
I was using "cute" to describe the scene in front of me.
After your typical late-night movie night, those who couldn't lug themselves to bed fell asleep on the couch. I mentally thanked Beast Boy for giving Starfire a nice handful of candy because she was prety hyped up for most of the film and then had a caffine crash and slept through the rest of the movie....on none other than Robin, of course (who had fallen asleep halfway through the credits.)
Of course, this wasn't a "OMG SO KAWAII!!!" cute that those obsessed fangirls use (who are convinced that they are Japanese) but it was a pretty nice setup....
That is until I saw a flash out of the corner of my eye. I whirled around to see Beast Boy holding a camera. He flashed a sheepish grin and hid the camera behind his back.
"Uh...good morning Raven! Uhm....how are you? I'm just going to go back to get some breakfast..." He ducked out of the Ops room and down the hall to his room to probably stash the camera in the box under his bed that was labeled "Beast Boy's stuff, property of Beast Boy, do not touch except for Beast Boy" on it.
No I'm not a snoop, but I just knew it was there...okay maybe I didn't, but deperate times call for desperate measures...I mean, it's not everyday someone steals your favorite book...or one of them anyway.
I walked over to the kitchenette and put a kettle on the stove. I poured some water into it and leaned against the counter, waiting it to boil. I bent down and pulled my favorite mug out of one of the cabinets that were below the counter and stove along with the fridge.
I stared at the sleeping hopefully-soon-to-be couple that was sleeping soundly on the couch. Usually, I didn't get up this early, let alone make tea and become bored of all things. I decided to make myself useful and thought,
I could make breakfast! I thought about the....things I had made last time I cooked, ...or not.
I opted to go and get the newspaper instead. So I floated to the window and went right through it to the island below where I nicely folded newspaper was sitting near the entrance to the tower.
Jump City Titans defeat Steel City Wasps in Basketball Championships
I snorted at the headline. No doubt Cyborg would be calling Bumblebee to collect his winning frm the heavy bet they had made last week.
As I floated back through the window, I noticed Robin and Starfire were still alseep, as was Cyborg and probably Beast Boy (who has gone back to sleep).
I placed the newspaper on the table and turned back to the kettle.
A few minutes later, the whistle started which did two things: it signaled that the water was boiling and it also woke Robin up.
He looked around, alsmot groggy and realized that Starfire's head was rested against his chest. He blushed a little and stroked her hair.
"Good norning to you too Robin," I said. Robin jumped.
"R-Raven! H-how long have you been there?" He asked, tugging the collar of his uniform. I chuckled inwardly. Nervous Robin was my favorite side of Robin seeing that Robin's persionality description did not includ "flustered" at all.
"Long enough for me to make a cup of tea," I replied, pouring the hot water into the mug and dipping the tea bag into it. I considered adding, "and for Beast Boy to get a picture," but I decided against it...and then decided against that.
"WHAT?!" Robin yelled. Starfire stirred. Robin let out a small yelp and lowered his voice.
"You have to get that photo for me! He'll humiliate me for the rest of my life!" Robin whisper-yelled. I shook ym head.
"Nope. Not unless something's in it for me." Robin rasied an eyebrow.
"What's with the dealing Raven? You're acting like Beast Boy." I scowled.
"Am not."
"Riiight." I glared at him.
"Well then I guess Beast Boy can send that picture to Titans East, and every Honorary Titan ont he list...maybe a few villans too," I looked at him through my half-closed eyes as a smug smile crept accross my face.
"You wouldn't," he dared.
"I would," I retorted. We kept staring at each other until Robin gave in.
"Alright what do you want?"
"Mmm..."
"Oh come on! You're never like this!"
"Well get used to it," I shot at him. Robin narrowed his eyes.
"No early training for a month," he offered.
"Two. And a restraining order for Beast Boy."
"What?" I smirked. Robin glared at me.
"You heard me," My eyes began to glow. Robin 'eeped.'
"Anything else?" Perfect.
"Yeah..." I took a sip of my tea, "go on a date with Starfire...and actually enjoy it." Robin seemed to sweat a little more than he did earlier.
"Do I have to?"
"If you want that picture from Beast Boy," I answered, knowing he'd enjoy it anyway.
"Done."
A/n: Two updates in one day! The apocalypse has BEGUN! Aaahhh! RUN AWAY!
No, seriously! This is a really weird thing for me. And I started and finished both this and the last chapter today!
Creepy....
R. Why? Not R&R which means Read & Reveiw? Well, technically since you already READ the thing, review it!
....sorry, I just had to say that. Heh-heh.
