I probably don't own the Teen Titans... I mean, I'll check, but I'm pretty sure I'd remember buying something like that

Raven couldn't help but feel out of place as the titans made their way to the entrance. The press had showed up, naturally, and were acting rather trigger-happy as they snapped photo after photo of Jump City's It Couple. The alien smiled blissfully while Robin ducked his head and hurried their pace.

Raven felt her powers stir as a few photographers caught sight of her and Beast Boy. She knew that the news of them being each other's dates was bound to spread faster than a wild-fire, and she couldn't help but blush.

Beast Boy seemed entirely unaware of her discomfort as he smiled absently for a few photographs, whereas the empath herself took heed from Robin and kept her face out of the light. What she wouldn't give for her cloak at that moment.

Thankfully, Beast Boy's time in the limelight came to a close as the photographers noticed the half-robot behind them, escorting a newly arrived civilian.

Raven watched in amusement as the changeling paled, before he quickly linked their arms and pulled her into the building. Suppressing a smile, she glanced around the room.

Usually the convention center was nothing to write home about, but it seemed the organizers of this party wanted to make an impression. The walls and windows were draped beautifully in sheer white fabric, while the tables were draped similarly, though they also adorned extravagant floral center pieces. The dance floor was large enough to accommodate the entirety of the guests, and yet there were only several couples taking advantage of it.

Beast Boy led Raven across the room, still keeping their arms locked. The empath took the opportunity to really look at him as they neared a more secluded corner.

She couldn't stop the butterflies in her stomach from seizing as her eyes traced his slender frame appreciatively. She had always been more partial to lean muscle, and her green date was not disappointing. Despite his rather lanky appearance, she knew first hand that the boy was fit. Living in the same tower with him often resulted in seeing him shirtless, though she wasn't complaining. Thankfully, he had yet to see the same of her, though a mix-up with the bathroom schedule had almost discredited that fact.

But despite his chiseled abs and strong arms and muscular back and...

Raven felt a blush creep onto her face as she tried to shake away those thoughts. Despite his... physique, she found that his eyes were what really captured her attention. At the moment, his emerald orbs were darting around the room as he looked for a place to hide, but Raven still felt herself sigh internally. They seemed to be every shade of green, with a little bit of mischief sprinkled in. Coupled with his lone fang that peeked out of his otherwise perfect smile, he always looked like he was up to something.

And that was usually the case.

Raven felt like slapping herself for being so sappy, but it seemed as though his formal attire was really getting to her. Never had she found herself completely incapable of taking her eyes off of him, and yet here she was, ogling him openly at a charity fundraiser full of snobs and superheroes.

Wasn't it supposed to be the other way around? Shouldn't he have been the one unable to look away from her? Wasn't he supposed to be the one who found it difficult to speak?

Raven growled quietly under her breath in frustration - she had just spent an ungodly amount of time getting ready for this stupid ball, and yet her stupid green date didn't even give her a second look.

No, he was too busy staring in horror at the front door.

"Shit..." Beast Boy whispered feebly.

Raven rolled her eyes in annoyance as she turned around. With a small gasp of surprise, she suddenly remembered why the changeling seemed a little distracted.

Standing at the entrance, looking stunningly beautiful in a gorgeous gown with her hair all done up, was Cyborg's date. Well, dates.

The half-robot looked horrified as his eyes darted between the petite blonde in a beautiful lavender-colored dress, and the tall, unruly haired heroine sporting a sunshine-colored gown. Both girl's mouths were moving, though Raven hadn't a clue what was being said.

"Can you hear what they're saying?" she asked hesitantly, giving her date a sideways look.

Beast Boy nodded slowly as he forcibly swallowed. "Y-yep."

Raven glanced back at the love-triangle in progress, noting that the two girls were glaring daggers at one another.

"What are they saying?" the empath questioned quietly.

Again, Beast Boy swallowed nervously. "I uh... I rather not repeat it," he answered sheepishly.

Raven nodded her understanding as she watched the two girls aim their glares at the robotic titan.

Cyborg held his hands up innocently as he backed away, but before he could make an escape, Bumble Bee pulled out her hidden weapon and sent a painful-looking shock through the half-robot's system.

Raven and her date watched silently as their teammate began shaking violently, and before they knew it, Sarah decided to join in the fun as she poured a drink onto Cyborg.

The robotic titan began sparking a bit as smoke rose from his newly fried circuits. A look of horror and pain remained on his face as the small crowd that had gathered around the scene began backing away, whispering amongst themselves.

In a strange twist of events, Raven watched as Bumble Bee and Sarah linked arms and marched away from their date, sending him a final glare.

"That was definitely unexpected," the half-demon commented dryly. She glanced over at Beast Boy, whose mouth was hanging open in shock.

"Beast Boy?" she asked gently, giving his shoulder a light shake.

The green teen slowly turned to face her, before a wide smile consumed his face.

"I'm alive!" he exclaimed, before his arms encompassed the empath's waist. She stifled a squeal of surprise as the changeling lifted her from the ground and spun her around several times.

"They didn't kill me, Rae!" he continued cheerfully as he set her back down.

Raven tried to steady herself as a strange mixture of glee and annoyance settled in her stomach.

"And do you know what that means?" Beast Boy enthused, his hands releasing her waist as they dug into his pockets.

"That you aren't dead?" Raven deadpanned, feeling pleasantly flustered.

"No!" Beast Boy laughed, before a confused look crossed his face. "Well, yes, actually, but no! It means..." He continued digging through his pockets, giving Raven another excuse to scope him out.

His hair was its usual mess, but she couldn't imagine it any other way. As he squinted his eyes in frustration while his tongue poked out of his mouth, she asked herself how it was possible that somebody like her would ever even fall for him - he was such a goofball.

"Aha!"

Raven quickly stopped her dazed staring as she gave him an annoyed look, before her eyes widened in surprise.

Ever so slowly, Beast Boy pulled out a delicate silver chain from his pocket, with the most beautiful amethyst pendant attached. She barely found the sense to speak as she watched it sparkle in the florescent lighting of the convention center.

"...it means that I can give you this."

She continued to stare in silence, before finally finding her voice. "I-is... is that..?"

Beast Boy smiled sheepishly, avoiding eye contact with her as his feet shuffled on the ground.

"Well, you said that it was such a good deal," he mumbled nervously, before a determined look crossed his features. "And apparently you have no clue what the word 'deal' means, 'cuz this thing was freaking expensive!"

A small smirk fought through Raven's surprise as the changeling's usual antics burst through his nerves.

"Then why did you buy it, Beast Boy?" she asked in her monotone, letting her empathetic senses go into overdrive as she tried to read his emotions. "Clearly it wasn't just to prove a point."

She held back a huff of frustration when all she sensed was his embarrassment.

"Well, you just looked really bummed that you couldn't get it, and..." he trailed off awkwardly, before holding the necklace out further. "Just... here."

Raven's eyes traced the stone longingly. She had always been quite partial towards amethysts and sapphires, though emeralds also made that list. But green just wasn't the best color on her, in her opinion.

Slowly, her hand reached out for it, until she realized that the changeling was presenting her with the perfect opportunity. Instead of taking the necklace, she grasped her hair and pulled it away from her neck, before turning her back towards him.

"Do you mind?" she asked dryly.

Just as she expected, a jolt of anxiety shot through her teammate.

"Uh, w-what?" he stuttered.

Raven peeked over her shoulder, giving the green teen an annoyed look.

"It's absolutely gorgeous, Beast Boy, and I'd love to wear it with my dress. So, do you mind?" She pulled her hair up higher, before motioning with one hand for him to get on with it.

She watched from the corner of her eye as the changeling gulped nervously, before his shaking hands reached towards her.

Raven bit her lip to keep from smiling as he laced the necklace around her neck. His emotions were sporadically coming in and out, but she was pretty sure that the fierce blush on his face was a good sign.

"There you go..." Beast Boy replied awkwardly, taking a step back.

Raven turned around to face him as her fingers toyed with the pendant. It wasn't gaudy, but rather simple and understated. In other words, perfect for the empath.

"Thank you, Beast Boy," she breathed, peeking up at him from under her lashes.

The green teen smiled sheepishly as he rubbed the back of his neck. "No problem, Rae. I, uh, I just knew how much you wanted it, and I - "

Raven cut off his rambling with a hug, wrapping her arms around his chest as her chin rested on his shoulders. She felt him stiffen immediately, and guessed that the pounding in his chest was another good sign.

Making sure to keep the hug quick, she pulled away before he could hug her back, and glanced back down at her new piece of jewelry.

It took him a while, but after a few moments she heard the familiar sound of the changeling sputtering in confusion.

"W-wha-why-huh?"

Giving him an amused look, Raven let out a sigh. "You know I'm not much of a hugger, so don't ruin the moment with your 'questions'," she deadpanned, feeling a strange sense of power as his blush only brightened.

Beast Boy opened his mouth, undoubtedly about to ask a question, but was interrupted by the impatient tapping of a pair of heels.

Both titans turned towards the noise, only to be greeted by the smug smirk of the Titans East leader, accompanied by the arched brows of Cyborg's former civilian date.

"Well," Bumble Bee began, giving them both knowing looks, "I hope I'm not interrupting anything, but I need to speak with Beast Boy."

Raven gave her date a sideways glance, feeling a wave of fear radiate off of him. Though she knew her teammate deserved whatever was coming to him, she was hoping that it could wait until after the ball.

"At this very moment?" she bit back, hoping to scare away the two girls.

By the look on Sarah's face, Raven figured she was getting half the job done, but Bumble Bee was a different story.

"Yeah," she replied dryly, setting her hands on her hips.

Realizing that postponing his punishment was useless, Raven waved her hand in surrender, earning a squeak of protest from the changeling.

"Rae?!"

Is... is this the end of Beast Boy? Lol

Hopefully they'll be more gentle with him than they were with Cyborg! You know, it's always bothered me how girls get mad at each other when they're both being played by the same guy. Like, okay, if one of them knew about the other girl and just let it happen, then yeah, she's deserves to get chewed out. But if both are totally clueless, then I don't see the point in getting mad at each other!

Anywhoo, besides that little dramafied moment, BB and Rae hugged! And he gave her the necklace! Isn't that adorable? Haha

Oh, and usually I don't reply to reviews on here, but I can't PM some of you guys 'cuz you're guests! So in regards to the whole adoption/barren topic brought up by guest... number 1, let's say, I honestly haven't put much thought into it! I mean, in this fic they haven't even begun dating, so marriage and babies is a bit out of the question at this moment in time lol. Also, though I know it doesn't always work out in the comics, RobStar is so totes endgame in this. Lol

And to the other guests (as well as a few members), I honestly don't know about doing a sequel. I already have a story with them dating and going through all the cray-crayness of it that I feel it'd be a little redundant (though that story is more lighthearted and fluffy). Like I said, I will probably do an epilogue or two, but a sequel is probably a no-go. I'm sorry! :(

Anyways, maybe leave a review?
