"Star seems pretty happy with Silkie, doesn't she?" He asked.

"Mmmhmm" She replied absent-mindedly.

"You ever have a pet, Rae?"

"No."

"Really?"

"A pet would have been an object of affection that could make my powers react uncontrollably if anything were to happen."

"Oh, right" His ears drooped. Raven, after her shower getting rid of all the goop that had covered them, had surprisingly invited him into her room for once. She was dressed in nothing but a blue bathrobe though, and had shyly asked if he knew how to give a foot massage.

He did of course, and was all too happy to give her one. She seemed to be enjoying the experience. Raven had explained to him that normally she would ask Starfire, but she was occupied with her new pet. Beast Boy liked to think that she actually just wanted an excuse to have some physical contact with him.

"You're pretty good at this." She complimented him.

"I have plenty of practice, used to give Rita these all the time."

"Who?"

"Oh, my adoptive mother. Sorry, I forgot that I never mentioned her before."

"And why is that?"

"Hmm, no real reason I guess. Never really came up. Maybe you'll meet her someday."

"She's still alive?"

"Last I checked she was, what about you?"

"What about me?" She asked, despite knowing exactly what he meant.

"What about your mom?"

"I haven't seen her in a long time. I have no idea what her current status is."

"Oh."

"We were never very close."

"I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault."

"I know." The mood seemed to have been completely killed. However, Beast Boy did have one trick up his sleeve to lighten things up.

"Hey Rae?"

"Yes?"

"Since you've never had a pet before, how about I be your pet?"

She immediately blushed, "W-What?"

"You know, because I can turn into animals and stuff? You want me to be a dog? You can teach me tricks and take me for walks an- OH!" Realization dawned over just what he was saying.

"Well, you just made things awkward." She bluntly said.

"Um, sorry?" He weakly offered.

"Still, the offer is tempting..." She put her fingers to her face as if in deep thought.

"Uh, Raven?"

"Shh, my pet, how about you start on your master's other foot now?"

He blushed at the seduction in her voice, "Y-yes ma'am."
