Ch 8 part 2

She smirked, but she felt overwhelmed as she phased through the roof and into the living room which was empty accept for a green cat sitting on the couch. She sat beside him as she leaned her head against the couch cushions and sighed as the green cat lifted his head to look at the empath. She couldn't help but smile about how cute he was as a cat. She let her hand pet his soft fur before he got up, walked over to her, and settled on her lap. Hearing his purrs gave her some peace for the moment.

"Is sex the only thing guys think about?" she asked. She didn't mean to, but it just came out. She watched as he looked up to her, climbed onto the top of the couch, nuzzled her face, and came back down in his human form beside his girlfriend.

"Well I wouldn't say all the time. I actually don't think about it as much as other guys do. I know I'll half to mate eventually because the animals inside me crave it, but I'm not exactly what you would call physically attractive. My body's been through a lot over the years, and I'm not sure anyone would want to see it. I mean I'm not broken down there," he said as he blushed. "Everything is in working order. Sorry too much information."

"It's ok. I get to know you better this way. I'm glad you're being open and honest with me. I have gray skin. It's not the most attractive color. I love you no matter what Garfield, and I guess it's good to know that you're ok down there," Raven blushed.

"Are you kidding you're totally attractive Raven. I love your gray skin. It brings out your eyes."

"Th-thanks," Raven blushed, "and I love your green skin. It makes you look exotic."

"Thanks Rae, you're so sweet," he said as he kissed her on the cheek. "Anyway why did ask that question in the first place?"

"Speedy asked if I would like to go somewhere quiet and talk. I knew what that meant as soon as he said it, but I sent him running in the other direction."

"Doesn't it piss you off? I know I feel like snapping his neck right about now."

"I know I'm not that type of girl, and that's all that matters. Besides I may of told him I had a boyfriend."

"Oh," he smirked, "anyone I know?" he said as he leaned into her as she leaned into him and they kissed.

Raven pulled away. "You are something else Logan," she smiled.

"How did you know my last name?"

"The Stones were watching you all day, so I was curious. I talked to them. They told me everything. I'm sorry."

"It's ok. I just hope they didn't tell anyone else."

"They won't. They promised, and I understand you don't want anyone to pity you. I don't think any of our friends would. They would admire the strength it took you to survive. You're so much stronger than everyone give you credit for."

"The thing is that I don't know why I made it as far as I did," he said but then a light bulb went off in his head and smiled, "maybe it was to meet you. I guess all my suffering was worth it in the end."

"Garfield, you didn't deserve the terrible things that happened to you."

"I never would have met you if I didn't become green. There were times when I hated being who I was and then I met you and got to know you, and I fell in love. I never thought I would to be honest. I was never more thankful to have gone through what made me green so that I could stand next to you everyday and fight beside you."

"Boy you really know how to lay on the charm," said Raven as she wiped her eyes and leaned on his shoulder. She felt his arm around her and smiled.

"I love you Rae," he said as he buried his face in her hair, taking in her scent.

"I love," she giggled. "He-hey, that tickles."

"Sorry, it's just that you smell so good. Did you just giggle?"

"Um, it's a possibility," she blushed as a dish broke in the kitchen. "Whoops, I better go clean that up," she said as she got up but not before Beast boy grabbed her arm. "Beast boy?"

They were interrupted by the vibration of Beast boy's communicator. He picked it up and flipped it open. "Mento, what's-

"King Twabwa is dying Beast boy. We went over to visit him. He's not doing so well. He had one last request, and that's to see you before he passes away. You have to come now. He doesn't have much time left. I booked you a flight and sent you the info."

"All right I'm on my way Mento," he said as he closed his communicator and then he looked to Raven.

"It's ok. Go, I'll let everyone know what's going on," said Raven.

"Thanks Rae," he said as he quickly kissed her on the cheek and ran down the hall to pack. He was nervous to go home again, but it would just be to say goodbye to an old friend. He would be back to Titans Tower before he knew it.
