Oh. My. God! You guys! I haven't written a fanfic in almost TEN YEARS! Now, here I am, posting again.

I had this idea for a long time! It's one of those ideas that I couldn't get out of my head. Which is why I am back baby! I wanted this to be thirteen chapters originally. Like how each season does thirteen episodes, but it's definitely going to be more than thirteen for sure! This is mostly a BBRae, RobStar, and potentially CyBee.

A/N: This takes place after "Trouble in Tokyo". I wasn't sure about their ages so I made this as info for y'all!

Ages: Cyborg 19

Robin 18

Starfire 18

Raven 17

Beast Boy 17 (youngest in the team)

I'm not good at thinking of names for titles so I am going to title the chapters based on a song I listened to. For this chapter, I listened to "Labyrinth" by Taylor Swift. There were a few lyrics that inspired this chapter. I was also inspired by the "Bunny Raven or How to Make a Titanimal Disappear" episode title so that is why the title is long.

"Uh oh, I'm falling in love/ Oh no, I'm falling in love again..."

"Lost in the Labyrinth of my mind..."

"You would break your back to make me break a smile..."

Anyway, I hope you enjoy! Please let me know what you think!

I do not own Teen Titans!


Chapter 1 - Labyrinth or The Little Things That Change

STAGE 1: DENIAL

When the Teen Titans returned from Tokyo, they faced an enemy that was hard to take down, jetlag.

Outwardly, Raven was happy that she, along with the other Titans, were able to take a vacation. On the inside, she was happy that they were finally home. Before going to Tokyo, the Teen Titans had spent months away from home trying to recruit honorary titans to defeat the Brotherhood of Evil. The final battle happened underground in the city of Paris and it certainly didn't feel like a vacation. This one in a way didn't feel any different with a new foe that they had to defeat. 'It comes with the job, I guess,' Raven thought.

They managed to have enough energy to grab their bags and luggage but were too tired to take up to their room so they just dumped what they had in the entryway. It would be there when they woke up. All they wanted to do was go to bed and sleep. Everybody was hunched and exhausted. Starfire was hovering up the stairs but with eyes closed and Robin, being a good boyfriend, was leading her to the elevator by holding her hand as she was flying, making sure she didn't hit any walls in the process.

Cyborg was the first one to check the time after he threw his blue duffel bag onto the mountain of luggage, souvenirs, and other junk they had brought from Tokyo. He looked at the small black screen on his robotic arm that read 6:14 a.m. The screen also told him sunrise would happen in 15 minutes and he wanted to be in bed before that happened. As they made their way up to the Ops, he looked at the view of Titans Tower. He did notice the light blue hue of dawn invading the night sky.

Cyborg yawned while looking at his teammates, "Alright, y'all, This robot needs a couple of hours of sleep but I'm thinking for breakfast, I'm gonna make waffles. How does that sound?"

He loved the all-you-can-eat sushi in Japan but after a few days, he started to miss American food. He wanted waffles, burgers, pizza, ribs, and deli sandwiches from his favorite sandwich shop, Dino's. He was homesick of Jump City but mostly of Jump City cuisine.

Robin nodded. Even with the mask, the Titans could tell he was trying his best to stay awake. "Sounds good, Cyborg. Goodnight, everyone." Robin held Starfire's hand as she was still gliding in her sleep so he could tuck her into bed before he went to his room to get some peaceful sleep as well.

Raven looked at Cyborg while yawning in reciprocation, "Hey, Cyborg. I need to meditate. Do you think you can knock on my door and wake me up when breakfast is ready?"

"Will do. Goodnight, Rae." He went inside to his room.

As she was walking towards her room, Raven forgot she still had company. Beast Boy who had been just as tired as Starfire leaned towards Raven, causing her almost to stumble.

"Beast Boy! Cut it out," He was already too tired to walk and snored as soon as his head hit Raven's shoulder.

'For being the shortest in the team, he sure is heavy' she thought as she was holding onto him from the chest and dragging him to his room. Luckily, his room was the closest to Raven's so she didn't need to travel far.

Beast Boy's room had an… odor. For Raven, that was putting it mildly. It smelled and sometimes you weren't sure where the smell originated from. It could be his dirty laundry, his stank ball, or the kitty litter box that was in the corner. 'Wait,' Raven thought. 'We don't have a cat.' Her sudden realization made her wanna throw up and for once, she wished to be optimistic and hoped that the kitty litter was for Silkie to do his business.

Raven set Beast Boy gently on the bed. With her black energy, she lifted the green plush blanket over him. As she was walking away towards the door she heard him mumble in his sleep, "Ladies, I will miss you too. Sayonara."

'Great' She rolled her eyes. 'Even in his sleep, those Japanese fangirls are just as annoying.'

Once she got to her room she began looking for her pajamas. Her uniform was already starting to smell and she wanted to be comfortable. She stripped off her leotard to wear some black short shorts with a matching top that she sometimes used for sleep. Most of the time, she kept her uniform on while she slept in case the Titans alarm went off. It was rare for her to have civilian clothes. She mostly had them because Starfire always made her buy something in the 'mall of shopping'. The pajamas were a good purchase though. They were comfortable and she enjoyed wearing them during the summer.

She regretted only taking her toothbrush and not an extra set of clothes to Tokyo because she assumed that catching Brushogun wouldn't have taken too long. Despite Beast Boy's pestering for a vacation, she thought they would be back within a day or so. Boy, was she wrong. She was glad she wasn't wearing her leotard anymore because it was also starting to smell. She didn't even have time to buy clothes in Tokyo. After capturing Brushogun, they still stayed in Tokyo for an extra day to see many touristy sites, ending with Mt. Fuji as their last stop. Though she kept it to herself, Raven loved that she got a chance to bask in that view and that they took a picture with Beast Boy's camera to keep as a memento.

As she slipped underneath the covers, Raven considered how she would ask him for a copy of the picture. She had a few pictures of the team, but she wanted one of them together. She never thought she would make it past sixteen. Now, at seventeen, she wants a picture of all of them. She wanted memories of the new life she was building. She thought of all her favorite memories with her friends and that thought lulled her to sleep.

.T.

Beast Boy woke up due to the light coming from his bedroom.

He groaned, "I need to get blackout curtains." He looked at the clock on his nightstand which read 10:07 a.m. He was still exhausted but he couldn't go back to sleep. He also didn't remember how he got to his bed. He was in the lower bunk and had always slept in the top bunk.

He decided to head to the main ops room where he noticed that Cyborg was making waffles.

"Hey B, I made you some of that fake bacon you like so you can have it with your waffles," Cyborg said while he was wearing a 'Kiss the Cook' apron. Cyborg couldn't stand Beast Boy's vegan/vegetarian diet but in the last year or so he started to respect it. In a game of truth or dare, Beast Boy dared him to eat an Impossible burger and he thought it wasn't that bad but that he could still taste the "fakeness" of it. But at least he didn't give him much grievance about it now.

"Sweet! Thanks, Cyborg" Beast Boy smiled while he started prepping his food in the kitchen to make some non-dairy waffles.

"Is everybody still asleep?"

Cyborg nodded, "I guess jetlag is hard to beat. I'm surprised you're up."

"Yeah. Say were you the one who put me to bed last night?"

Cyborg shook his head, "Last I remember, you and Raven were still heading to y'all's rooms. Why do you ask?"

Beast Boy didn't say anything at first. He couldn't help but think that maybe Raven put him to bed. 'No, that's impossible. She hates my guts!'

"No reason. I think I just crashed and don't remember."

While Cyborg was starting to cook the bacon he realized he forgot something, "Shit! Raven told me to wake her up two hours ago but I overslept and forgot. Can you wake her up for me?"

Beast Boy almost spilled the soy milk on the counter, "Dude, no! Raven is grouchy in the mornings. Especially when she's sleep-deprived."

"Man, come on. I'm cooking my breakfast here. Do me a solid," The sizzling of bacon created a smoky scent in the kitchen as it was cooking.

"Fine but you owe me!" Beast Boy pointed a finger at him.

Cyborg crossed his arms with the spatula in hand, "I will donate twenty bucks to your Moped Fund'."

Beast Boy hugged the robotic man, "This is why you're my best friend."

He hurried to Raven's room. He had set up his 'Beast Boy's Moped Fund' after that one incident when he tried to get one himself and then it completely broke in pieces. He already had about half of the money saved up. Cyborg would donate if he did silly things like dares or the rare occasion when Beast Boy beats him on video games. Robin had donated and was the most generous one who donated with a hundred bucks so far…as long as he did his turn to do dishes. Starfire was the first one to donate to the cause, giving him one dollar and eagerly asking him if had enough to buy the moped. She still had a hard time understanding how much things cost on Earth. Raven was the one who hadn't donated thus far but Beast Boy wasn't butthurt about it. He had mentioned to her that if she donated, he would let her drive it or give her a ride anywhere she wanted to go. To which she replied, "Pass". Why he offered her a ride on his moped he had no clue, since she was able to fly but at least he offered.

He seemed very confident and eager until he got to Raven's door. Maybe twenty bucks wasn't worth it. Raven had been moody lately, especially in Tokyo. Any remark he made, she would slap him in the head. When he suggested to the team that the next vacation should be Mexico, she slapped him in the face so hard that he felt the sting on his face for hours. He didn't mind at first but it was starting to annoy him. She probably would do it now if he woke her up.

He tapped gently on the door, "Morning, Raven! It's 10:30 and Cyborg sent me to wake you up so you could meditate and eat breakfast."

Silence.

Was she in her room? Maybe she already woke up and went off to meditate elsewhere.

"Raven? Are you in there?"

He pressed his ear to the door but he didn't hear anything. He gently slid the door open and to his surprise, it was unlocked. 'Should I go in? Raven will kill me if I go to her room!'

He murmured gently, "Raven? I know you don't want anybody inside your room but I just wanted to see if you were in here."

He gently opened the door a little more so he could enter and scan the room. Despite the morning light flooding his room, Raven's room was dark and he walked over to see if she was sleeping in bed.

"I need to ask her where she got her blackout curtains from," Beast Boy whispered. He then realized as he approached her bed that she was asleep, lying on her side. She was not wearing her leotard but a set of pajamas. Despite her wearing a leotard, Raven was always modest and never wore anything revealing. The top showed the top of her back and Beast Boy couldn't help but notice a small tattoo in the shape of a raven on her upper back.

'Woah,' Beast Boy was speechless to say anything else. He definitely didn't wanna be caught by Raven catching him looking at her like a pervert while she was sleeping, so he decided to leave and let her sleep some more.

He hesitated for a second and decided to do one final thing before he left. Pull the bed cover on her that had been pushed to the corner of her bed. He left the room and quietly closed the door. Beast Boy had no idea that Raven had gotten herself a tattoo.

'It's kinda hot,' his mind wandered. 'Wait! What? No way, did I just think that?' He blushed and pushed that thought aside until he got to the main ops.

Cyborg asked right away "No Raven?"

"I tried waking her up, dude. She's knocked out." He mentioned as he was prepping his non-diary waffles.

Cyborg shook his head, "She's not going to be happy that we didn't wake her up. Plus, she's a light sleeper."

"Dude, I know but I swear. She wouldn't wake up."

"Alright."

As Beast Boy was mixing the batter, he decided to finally bring it up "Do I still get my twenty dollars?"

"Nice try."

.T.

"Raven?" She heard a whisper as she was waking up. Raven needed that sleep, and yet, she still felt tired. She was groggy and a little disoriented trying to focus on where the voice came from.

"Raven? Are you still asleep?" It was Cyborg's voice. He had opened the door slightly so he could speak a little louder. Raven immediately held the blanket to cover her.

"I just woke up," She answered to Cyborg. "What time is it?"

"8:30"

She didn't oversleep. Good. She had plenty of time to meditate.

"I'll meditate for a bit and join everybody for breakfast. Is everyone awake?" She replied to him as she used her magic to open her closet to pick out a new leotard.

"Yeah, but Raven, do you mean breakfast for dinner?"

"No. Breakfast for this morning" Raven was confused about what he meant.

"It's 8:30 in the evening, Rae."

Her blackout curtains always made her room dark but once again using her powers, the black aura enveloped them open and it showed the skyline with stars decorating the evening sky. It was summer so the dusk had already taken over Jump City 'Did I sleep for fourteen hours?!'

"Raven?" Cyborg asked again.

"Uh yeah, I'll have breakfast for dinner."

"Aw yeah! More bacon for me!" Cyborg ran off to start cooking.

She shut the door immediately to wear her cloak before she could make a trip to the restroom but something set her off. Someone had been here, in her room. Not Cyborg, he only opened the door but didn't step inside to wake her. She felt the presence of someone who had walked in. She looked around to see if they touched anything but everything seemed to be in its place. Raven could relax for the moment.

She headed to the bathroom first where she took a much-needed shower, into a new leotard and robe, and headed to the rooftop. She only meditated for half an hour since she could feel hunger distracting her meditations since her stomach making grumbling noises. When she was done, she headed back to the main ops since she was starving. Cyborg was wearing a chef hat while happily pouring batter onto their waffle maker.

Robin and Starfire were sitting together on the dining room table. They were holding hands and they were talking and giggling around each other.

"Your waffles will be ready soon, Raven," Cyborg said as he was frying the bacon.

"Sounds good," Raven gave him a gentle smile. She started filling water in her teapot to make herself some herbal tea.

"Good morning, Raven. Or should I say Good Evening," Robin finally noticed that she was in the room. "How did you sleep?"

"Good. I didn't think I'd sleep for so long," Raven replied.

Cyborg nodded "Yeah, I only slept for a few hours. We tried waking you but it seemed like you were exhausted and needed the rest."

Raven nodded, "Yeah, I guess the trip wore me out. Wait, who's we?"

Cyborg chuckled nervously, "Oh, yeah. I asked B.B. to wake you up while I was cooking my bacon in the morning. He said he couldn't wake you up either."

'So he was the one that went in my room' Raven looked around. "Where's Beast Boy now?"

"Oh, he went back to sleep after beating his little green butt in video games. He said he was tired, but I think he was also just being a sore loser." Cyborg smiled.

The water was boiling enough for Raven to pour some into a cup for her herbal tea. Cyborg served her some pieces of bacon for her plate. The warm and toasty scent that was beginning to linger meant the waffles were ready.

As Raven was eating her waffles with the other Titans, she couldn't help but gag a little with her meal. Robin and Starfire were a couple now and they were already starting to look at each other. With Robin blushing and Starfire giggling as they were eating, her Rage emotion inside her mind wanted to scream 'JUST EAT YOUR DAMN WAFFLES!' at them. But she kept calm and collected on the outside.

Cyborg, who was sitting next to her, leaned over and muttered quietly, "Get ready. There's going to be a lot of this."

To which Raven just groaned.

.T.

After dinner, she stayed in the main ops with the rest of the team. They all wanted to watch a movie, to which Starfire insisted on a rom-com and Robin reluctantly agreed.

Cyborg was not so happy about it, "Aw man! I wanted to watch Godzilla since I'm starting to miss Tokyo already."

"We'll watch that one tomorrow Cyborg" Robin smiled to which Cyborg just grumbled.

In the end, Starfire made them watch some movies, which Raven forgot the name, about enemies to lovers. It was about these two people who refused to admit they had feelings for each other but they did. Raven was on the sofa keeping them company but mostly focusing on her book. She was barely paying attention except when Robin yawned loudly that she looked up to see that he was doing the yawn and reach move. The well-known guy move where they yawn and stretch their arms to put their arm around the girl they are watching a movie with. He did exactly that to put his arm around Starfire and she immediately blushed.

'HOW LONG IS THIS GOING TO LAST?!' ' Rage yelled.

'Probably forever' Raven responded in thought to her emotions.

'LET'S KILL THEM TO END THIS MISERY!' Rage responded. Meanwhile, Raven could hear Happy cheer for the couple with a 'Yay!'

She continued reading until she heard some whimpering and sniffles. She looked up to see Cyborg now shedding a couple of tears in the last scene. She looked up to see what all the fuss was about. The couple was in an airport terminal:

"I love you, Greg" The woman admitted. "I kept denying it and refusing to accept these feelings but I can't hold it back any longer. It's been killing me on the inside. I needed you to know before you leave."

The man dropped his bags and held her in an embrace, "Oh, Tara! I thought you wanted me to leave. I thought by leaving I could forget about you and these feelings but now I will never leave! I love you, Tara."

They immediately kissed. THE END.

"Man, I love happy endings." He wiped a tear away after the movie was over.

Robin yawned "I think we should go rest and regulate our sleep schedule."

"Agreed" Starfire stood up and they held hands as they started to leave but not before she handed Cyborg a box of tissues to which he grabbed one to wipe his tears and then blew his nose.

"Pleasant shlorvax, my friends!" She said to Raven and Cyborg as they were leaving.

"Good night" Raven replied.

Cyborg yawned too once they left. "Well, I only had two hours of sleep and I need to charge my power cell completely so I'm hitting the hay. What about you, Rae?"

"I'm not tired at all" she admitted. "I'm just going to stay up and finish my book."

"Okay, but you should try to get some sleep. Getting rid of jetlag only works when you regulate your sleep schedule."

"Thanks, I'll try." Raven was soon left alone in the main ops. She would try to sleep as soon as she finished reading her book.

She continued reading by midnight and that was when the door to the common area opened. It was Beast Boy, walking in happily, wearing only his purple boxer shorts and a black shirt. He opened the fridge to grab bottled water, humming a song that Raven was unfamiliar with, and then shrieked and stopped dead in his tracks when he saw her sitting on the sofa.

"Raven, I didn't know you were here," He admitted sheepishly.

"I can't sleep" she admitted.

"Well, I think I am in the same boat as you because I took a long nap. Now, I can't go back to sleep." He said as he opened the bottled water. "Hey, do you mind if I play video games here? I promise I won't annoy you or anything. It's just that I was in my room for ten minutes already and I'm already bored out of my mind!"

"No"

"Please?" he went up to her with his hands together as he pleaded. "You can continue reading your book, and I can have my game on mute."

She looked up at him. Beast Boy was giving her the puppy dog face until he decided to morph into a puppy to give her a more convincing puppy dog face.

"Fine"

He smiled instantaneously and jumped up, "Sweet!"

"On one condition" Raven added.

"Anything"

"You need to wear some pants or something."

Beast Boy was confused until he realized he was wearing his purple boxer shorts with dinosaurs on them. His face immediately turned beet red and ran out of the common area. A few minutes later, he came back wearing black sweatpants.

Raven continued reading her book until she looked up at Beast Boy who was keeping true to his word. He was playing his video game in silence with intense focus.

She assumed that he saw her through his peripheral vision because it was at that moment he started talking.

"I'm trying to beat Cyborg's high score."

"Best of luck" she replied in a deadpan tone.

He then paused the game and turned to look at her, "Speaking of which, I wanted to run something by you and the other Titans."

She closed her book, and glanced up to him again, waiting for him to begin.

"I think we should throw a party at Titans Tower"

"No" she continued to read her book.

"Aw come on, Rae! Why not?"

"I don't like parties"

"Duh, I know that. I haven't forgotten last year. The party is not for you, though. It's for Cyborg. His birthday is at the end of the month." Beast Boy argued.

"Whatever," she replied.

"So that's a yes from you?"

"It's not a bad idea" Raven admitted. "You should talk to Robin about it though"

"Will do!" He didn't confess it to her but he was grateful she listened to his idea. After months of crime fighting, defeating the Brotherhood of Evil, and even taking down a bad guy while on vacation, was a lot for the changeling. A party would be a good way to take a break and relax.

Beast Boy continued to play video games in silence. She didn't want to admit it but she was grateful at how mindful he was being.

Raven closed her book for a second, "Hey, can I ask you a question?"

"What's up?" he continued playing.

"Did you go inside my room?" As soon as Raven asked the question, he started sweating bullets.

"Uh, yeah, Cyborg made me. He wanted me to wake you up so you could go meditate."

That made Raven anxious, "You didn't touch anything in my room?"

"No, I just walked a few steps and I noticed you were sleeping. Then, I left." He blushed while he was lying to her. He was also being truthful as well. He didn't touch anything but he did check something out. 'Or someone, a matter of fact' Beast Boy admitted. 'Damn it! Stop thinking about her and her tattoo!'

Raven raised her eye at him and finally conceded.

"I wanted to ask, though. Where did you get your curtains from?"

'Really?' Raven thought. 'He wants to know about my curtains?'

"They're from a store at the mall" She placed her hand on her forehead, trying to think what the name of that place was. She was so tired she couldn't even remember. "I forgot the name."

"No worries. It's just the morning light hits my room and that's why I had trouble sleeping this morning. I like that they're the kind that block out the light. I feel like it will help me sleep better."

Raven stayed quiet for a moment, pursed her lips, and said "I can show you where it is whenever we have time to do that."

He grinned "Sure! Sounds great."

She continued reading silently and Beast Boy continued playing his game on the big screen. Raven felt uncomfortable and stiff from sitting for so long. So she lay on her back and with her power, held the book up, her aura flipping the page now and then. Since she had been sitting at the edge of the sofa, Raven was still at a respectful distance from Beast Boy to not bother him or vice versa. For once, Beast Boy and Raven were enjoying each other's company in comfortable silence.

Two hours passed and Beast Boy finally managed to beat Cyborg's high score. "Yeah!" he shrieked which he immediately regretted and covered his mouth because he didn't want to bother Raven with her reading. He looked over to see that she wasn't reading anymore. The book that had been hovering above him was now around her arms and she was sound asleep. Unbothered by the abrupt noise that Beast Boy had made.

He immediately turned the Game Station off and went to his room to fetch something. When he came back he was relieved to find Raven still asleep on the couch. He did something for Raven that was the second time that day. The soft, green blanket that was in his room was now covering her to keep he warm. As he very carefully removed the book from her to gently place it on the coffee table, he noticed a strand of her violet hair fall to her face and he softly moved it back behind her ear. Beast Boy looked at how peaceful she looked as she was sleeping.

'Almost angelic' Beast Boy thought. He couldn't believe he thought of that but unlike the tattoo, he didn't deny it.

"Thank you for doing that for me last night," Beast Boy whispered. A soft blush appeared on his cheeks. "Goodnight, Raven."

Beast Boy turned off the lights in the common room and went to bed. Raven, who had been awake, as soon as the blanket touched her body, went back to sleep with a smile on her face.

.T.

Inside Raven's mind, a realm she liked to call 'Nevermore', were two emotions walking together inside a labyrinth.

"Did you see that he placed the blanket on us?! Wasn't that cute?" The pink emoticlone jerked the grey-cloaked one by shaking her arm.

Timid, as she was known, felt the warmth rush to her cheeks, "It was pretty sweet and endearing. I thought he didn't like us after what happened in Tokyo."

"Who? B.B.? Nah! He likes us, Timid. Or else he wouldn't spend time with us like he did tonight." Happy then let go of shaking her arm and looped hers into Timid's as they walked around the maze together.

"Why are you here in my domain, Happy? Not that I like having you around, of course," Timid responded in a soft-spoken voice.

Happy laughed, "To see you, silly! I like you! Also, I am looking for someone. She's rarely around but since we're more like twins, I feel her presence."

"Who?" The grey-robed one asked timidly.

It was an emoticlone that rarely made an appearance. She showed up once when Raven met Aqualad, hung around for some time when she felt something for Robin, and also made an appearance when Raven cared for Melvin, Timmy, and Teether. Not to mention that dragon fuckboy what's-his-name that had broken her heart! Raven kept this emoticlone hidden most of the time so that is why the other ones didn't see her often. Happy, though, felt that she escaped once again from whatever repressed domain Raven had her in. The other emotions didn't know how long she'd stick around for this time.

When Happy and Timid turned around a corner of the labyrinth, they found exactly who they were looking for. She looked similar to them except she was wearing a violet robe.

"Uh oh," Happy stated as she giggled. "Found her."

"Oh no," Timid was shocked to see who it was.

"Hey, guys" She addressed Happy with a warm smile. "I missed y'all so much!

Love hugged Happy and Timid in a tight embrace.


P.S. I mentioned I am not good with names so idk if you noticed but I gave the actors in the 'rom-com' the names of the voice actors lol.

Also, Raven sleeping for fourteen hours is a true story lol I slept that amount of time when I came back from my China trip. Jetlag is a b***h!

Thanks for reading guys! I will post the next chapter soon!
