This takes place the night of 'the hug', just after "Spellbound"
Disclaimer: If I owned Teen Titans, this would have been in "Spellbound"
Just a filler while I type other stories. Also, I am starting a new story. First Chap up by tomorrow.
Raven was cold. Aside from the fact that she had just been crying her eyes out for the past few hours, there was a giant hole in the ceiling from where a traitorous dragon had punched through it. It was a VERY little known fact that Raven was afraid of the dark.
Before you say she is in darkness all the time, the part of the dark Raven doesn't like is the unknown. She knows her room, she knows her powers, she knows the tower. She does not know what is outside of that hole ready to take her away.
Raven contemplated what to do. She could stay here and freeze, or she could swallow her pride and stay warm by sharing a room with one of her teammates. I think the answer was obvious. Now, the big question.
Who to stay with?
Robin was out because he would ask too many questions and Starfire DEFINITELY wouldn't like that.
Starfire was out because she would keep her up all night trying to have a sleepover.
Cyborg would be too hard to even wake up.
Beastboy... was perfect. He knew she needed space. He would definitely let her in without complaint. And, he was the one to comfort her earlier so this would be something he would be happy to do.
Raven got up, blew out a candle, and went off to Beastboy's room.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
Urrrgh.
Beastboy looked at his clock- 2:36 in the morning.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
He got up and rubbed his eyes. He input his passcode (BBxRaeForevermore) and who else to be there but Raven?
"Hey, Rae." he said sleepily, "What you doin up so late."
He was still smiling so she didn't take it as a bad thing and replied. "Can I stay with you tonight please?" she asked. She still had the same sad voice from earlier, the one she had when she was about to cry.
"Sure, Rae." he slurred out through his tiredness, "Make yourself at home." he opened his door fully and beckoned her in, locking the door once she was inside. She noticed him locking the door.
"Why are you locking the door?" she asked, sounding scared.
"Oh, I just thought you wouldn't appreciate someone walking in and teasing you for being in here." he said.
Raven nodded. "Ok. Just wondering."
Raven took a seat on the bottom bunk while Beastboy climbed up to the top. They exchanged good nights and tried to sleep.
Suddenly, Raven spoke up. "Beastboy?"
"Yeah?" he called out.
"I was just wondering why you didn't hug me back earlier." she said. Raven was worried he didn't like her and that thought hurt right after being betrayed.
"Oh." he said, coming down to lay on the bottom bunk with her for his explanation, "Ok, you know how there are the different kinds of hugs depending on your feelings for someone?"
Raven nodded. "Alright so there's the family hugs that aren't usually awkward, the friend hugs that are a little awkward, and then there is when you get hugged or hug somebody you REALLY like and it's really awkward. Do you know where I'm going?" Raven nodded again, dumbfounded. Beastboy LIKED her. BEASTBOY liked HER. "Do you like me back?" he asked.
Raven thought for a minute, then smiled, leaned over and kissed him deeply. "I love you" Beastboy said breathlessly.
Raven froze. Even during her time with Malchior, neither of them had said 'I love you'. As she thought about it, the option to say she didn't love Beastboy back was tempting. There were only two problems. One, that would break his already fragile heart. Two, it would be a complete lie.
Raven decided to do the right thing. "I love you, too." she declared, giving him another deep kiss. The two just cuddled together after that, reveling in the joyous feeling of their newfound love. Eventually, Raven started dozing off, so she asked one last question before the dark bliss of sleep overtook her.
"Will you be there when I wake?" she asked Beastboy.
He smiled at her, fang protruding in that way that was eternally cute. "I will be here for you forevermore." he said. Raven smiled and said one last 'goodnight' and then she let the darkness take her to the land of sweet dreams with her new lover in tow.
Just another cute filler while you are waiting for me to update boy troubles (Which I finally just did like 5 seconds ago) Please review and tell me if I'm good or bad, and where I can improve. I would really like some feedback and tell me if my stories are good too. Don't forget I take requests. Did anybody catch the easter egg? (reference to something else like when Brave said oo-rah and then Beastboy called her a marine in 'Nevermore' because marines say oo-rah) say in the reviews if you did.
