I have direction! Inspiration has struck! Keep an eye out for more updates/stories. Boom. Tell me what you think of this chapter. I like it. It could have gone so many different directions but this one just happened. (Sorry I couldn't help it with the chapter title. Don't judge me)
I dig it.
Love you dudes. Enjoy.
The glow from the TV lit the front room. Beastboy watched the screen, one leg thrown over the back of the couch and one arm grazing the floor. The changeling was hypnotized by the movie he had stayed up until early hours of the morning to watch. He sipped the drink he had in front of him, trying to remember the last time he stayed up this late out of his own free will.
The credits started to roll and Beastboy pressed the power button on the TV remote, not needing its light to find his way around.
The green man stretched, drawing a yawn. He ruffled his hair and stood up, making his way to the fridge to get a water before bed.
Beastboy twisted off the small cap and poured the water in his mouth, gulping it up as if he had gone thirsty for days.
His ear twitched. He lowered the water bottle and waited. His ear twitched again. He could just barley make out the faint sound of footsteps. Beastboy turned to glance at the clock: 2:36.
Beastboy's water bottle flew into the trash as he began to shift. A fuzzy green bat soared through the room, positioning himself above the OPS doors. The changeling used his improved hearing to listen for sound. The footsteps had stopped. Beastboy listened into the quiet. His tiny bat form clung to the wall.
Just as Beastboy was about to drop his shape and investigate the sound for himself, the doors slid open. It happened too fast for Beastboy's tiny green form and he fell from the wall. And right onto the blue sorceress.
Raven let out a fear-filled shriek, eyes glowing black as she hurled him off her head and onto the floor where he began to shift back.
"It's just me!" He yelled, still growing.
Raven's eyes returned to the normal purple. "Holy shit Beastboy, what the hell did you do that for?" Her eyes sparked black with new purpose.
"I'm sorry! You were sneaking around the tower! What did you expect?!"
"I wasn't sneaking around. I didn't know you were still up." Her arms crossed. "What were you doing up this late?"
"Ah, watching a movie, like every other normal person who stays up late."
"'Normal'? Really?" She raised an eyebrow at him.
He glared at her "You just love reminding me I'm green, don't you."
"I don't know how you could ever forget you're green." She shot back.
You're freaking gray! How's that any different?" He thrust a hand at her, pointing toward her skin angrily.
Her eyes narrowed "It's very different."
He snorted sarcastically. "Keep dreaming. You're just as abnormal as I am."
Rave opened her mouth to retort, but then stopped herself. She sighed. "I'm not fighting with you about this. I'm sorry I made fun of you. " She tried to keep herself from grumbling.
He rolled his eyes but accepted her apology just the same. "You're forgiven."
Raven couldn't help keep the sarcasm from her tone. "Oh good. I don't know what I would have done if I didn't have your forgiveness."
"Hey! Don't be a jerk." He refrained from calling her the first couple things that came to his mind.
She grumbled another apology.
He shook his head tiredly and went to get another water. "Just go to bed Rae."
"You're not the only one who's thirsty." The sorceress grabbed her own water.
He grunted back at her.
"What? No lame pick up lines?"
He sighed "You said I had to try harder. Now I havta rework my whole game plan."
"I'll say. Your cheesy lines weren't getting you anywhere."
"I wouldn't say that." A smiled tugged on Beastboy's lips.
She rolled her eyes. "You're way too cocky."
"No such thing."
She laughed. "Yes there is. And you've surpassed it. Congratulations."
Before she could even breathe, Raven felt her feet leave the ground and her butt was seated on the kitchen counter, feet dangling on either side of Beastboy's waist and his face inches from hers. Her hands had instinctively gone to his shoulders to steady herself. She looked at the green hero that was now grinning wickedly.
"Let me go Beastboy."
"No." His thumb rubbed her hipbone.
"Gar put me down."
"Kiss me first."
Raven knew she could easily blast him off of her, but because of how close in proximity he was to her, if she used her powers against him, he could be seriously injured, and Raven wasn't ready to bash him that hard just yet.
"No."
His other hand slid up her thigh. The refrigerator shook.
"Just kiss me and I'll let you go." He leaned in to plant a kiss on her neck. All of the appliances began to shake.
"You know l can blast you out that window, Garfield."
He chuckled and raised a hand to cup her face, the other one tracing little circles right above her knee. "Yeah, but I bet the whole tower will explode before you do that." He nodded toward the hovering sofa.
Raven bit her lip and set down the couch, settling the appliances as well. He had a point. At this rate titans tower would be gravel in minutes.
"No more games Gar, get off me."
"Oh c'mon Rae, I know you love playing games with me."
"Ha ha. Now put me down.
"Kiss me."
"I don't want to play your stupid game anymore Beastboy!"
"Fine. Then I lose. Now kiss me."
Her eyes widened. His mouth was getting dangerously close again and things around the room had started to move. His fingers drifted up her back, following the line of her spine. Raven shivered. There was no way this was happening. "I said no, Gar."
He sighed playfully, stepping back to let her off the counter. "Alright, alright."
She slid off the counter and thanked Azar her legs didn't give out. She was just about to turn to him when he took her chin and tilted her head to meet his gaze. She was mesmerized by his green eyes. "But you're going to have to make a move sooner or later. This is getting boring." He winked at her, leaving an equally stunned and ruffled empath in his wake.
