FOREPLAY
...
not as the title might suggest... kinda.
(takes place post the team finding out.)
Cyborg's human eye bounced back and forth between the two Titans like a ping pong ball. Over the course of the next minute, that stare began a slow but strident simmer into an outraged glare.
"That is not the premise of Solar Quest, and you know it!"
Robin was fast regretting having asked - not that he'd anticipated the response to come from Raven, who had taken it upon herself to summarise (with her own sardonic flair).
"You're saying it's not about gigantic robot cats in space?"
"It's about the pilots of the gigantic mechanised lions... in space!" Garfield screeched. "And also the intergalactic war forged by Darthax, alongside the downfall of the several-thousand-year reign of the Goltarean empire!"
Raven lifted her tea back to her lips. "I was wrong, Robin. The cats can roar."
The changeling baulked. "Y'know, it's not my fault you lack the depth to fathom the complexities of an everlasting voyage into the mysteries of the universe!"
She mumbled behind the lip of the mug. "Your mind is an everlasting voyage into the mysteries of the universe..."
"Aw. Thanks, babe. Didn't know you thought I had an enormous brain."
"Enormous head, more like—"
"Alright!"
The very life-sized, very humanoid robot launched up from the dining table, the smack of his palms ringing out from where they'd planted to its surface.
"This" - he wagged an accusing finger back and forth between his wide-eyed culprits - "has got to stop."
Raven and Beast Boy were stunned silent in their seats, until— "What?"
Their friend took in a long stream of air through his nose.
"Look. I'm happy for you guys. Really. But I do not need to be hearing your weird-ass foreplay over dinner."
Humid colour surged into their faces.
"We're not—!"
Beast Boy choked some words out when his girlfriend's failed them. "We've always done this!"
Cyborg snatched up his almost-empty plate with both hands.
"I know." Then he was traipsing as fast as he could out through the common room doors. "Nasty..."
The cloud of discomfort left behind trampled over the remaining four.
Robin gingerly stood with his own plate. "I think I'm done with... yeah."
Starfire mirrored him, with but a second's delay. "I too... also."
The swipe of the closing doors seemed much louder the second time around.
Garfield was the first to move, setting his dilated eyes on the one seated beside him.
"... So." His inflection flickered. "I'm warmed up."
Above a furious blush, Raven glowered.
"You wanna...?" Green gems darted to the door, then back at her with a flourish of brows.
"... You're such a moron." And even as she bit it out, Raven's reckless arms dragged him right in, slamming his mouth up against hers.
Her boyfriend smirked into the kiss. "Bit early for dirty talk."
