Okay then! Let's be honest here, this chapter is probably gonna get pretty smutty. But! I'll be throwing in some more emotional consequences of Raven's near miss. Read on, visitor!
Raven woke first, naturally. Beast Boy's sleeping form lay right next to her. Before last night, they had slept together (literally) and had grown used to sharing a bed but, all the same, seeing him so close on this particular morning brought a sleepy smile to her face. Half-awake as she was, she was slightly more prone to suggestion from her emotions. Happy, Love and Lust were whispering in her ear so, with a cheeky smirk, Raven lifted her sheets... Yup. They were definitely naked. She stifled a very un-Raven giggle and let the sheets settle again. Lust objected: Beast Boy was, once again, showing that uniquely male symptom that occurs during sleep. Eyes dancing with mischief, Raven slipped a hand under the sheets and gently gripped him. She watched his face twitch a little as she began to caress and stroke him. Dimly, she could sense the pleasure it gave him, even asleep. Unbidden, a recollection came to her from her research, detailing a reportedly very pleasant way to wake up one's boyfriend. 'Unbidden'... right. Lust was concentrating so hard on the memory she almost fainted. Still drowsy, Raven now disappeared completely under the covers. Beast Boy began to wake...
"Unnnn... where... Rae? R- ... oooooh..." It hadn't taken long for Beast Boy to notice Raven's ministrations, the warm wetness of her mouth driving out all other thought. He didn't last long, his own hand moving to stroke Raven's hair as he spent himself in her mouth. After he could see straight again, he watched as Raven emerged from the bedding, rosy-cheeked but still smiling.
"Good morning, Beast Man," she drawled. Beast Boy chuckled at first... then his eyes widened. She had just spoken... opened her mouth...
"Uhhhh Raven? Where... umm... what did you do with it? Y'know...it!" Beast Boy said, uncertainly.
"I swallowed it, of course," she said, matter-of-factly. Beast Boy's wide eyes and Raven's deadpan eyes blinked at each other for a few moment... then Raven's eyebrows shot into her hairline and her cheeks burned. She hid her face in her hands.
"Rae?" Beast Boy inquired, delicately.
"It was Lust, Garfield," Raven answered. "She must have... suggested this morning's 'recreation'... I'm sorry." He laughed out loud at that.
"Sorry?! Rae, don't ever apologise for that! Let's say I owe you one, okay?" he said, still slightly incredulous. Raven nodded in exasperation. Hadn't she told herself to watch out for Lust? Well... no harm done. Indeed, Raven could almost see the sparkle in Beast Boy's eye as he gazed at her.
"If you owe me one, Garfield... why not repay it now?" Raven asked, quietly, seeing the excitement in Beast Boy's eyes.
"Yeah?" he said, intelligently. Raven nodded again.
"Yeah... I think I'd like Ceylon tea this morning. In a teapot, if you don't mind." With that, Raven rolled over and curled up in her blankets. Beast Boy appeared crestfallen... but after the events of yesterday, good and bad, Raven's merciless teasing was familiar and oddly reassuring. He quickly dressed in some sleepwear he had left in Raven's room and walked out the door to the kitchen. He sought out the correct tea and placed the bag in the teapot. Then, using a conventional kettle, he poured boiling water over the bag, replaced the lid and left it to brew for a minute. As his attention wandered, he saw Nightwing standing at the window, staring outside. He moved to join him.
"Hey... Dick." he said. Nightwing smiled, his blue eyes twinkling.
"Gar." he replied. The names felt good. Today felt like a day for real names. Beast Boy idly scanned the shore.
"What are you doing, anyway?" he asked.
"Starfire... Kory... got her flight back this morning," Nightwing answered, pointing up at the few clouds in the sky. Following his gaze, Beast Boy could now see a glowing, green streak flying through and around the clouds. Beast Boy smiled: he understood the simple pleasure of flying, though he doubted he could match Starfire's exhilaration. Not only were her emotions generally more intense but she could fly many times faster than him and, in his mind, more speed equaled more fun. As he mused, the green flame began to descend rapidly, angling toward the tower. She purposefully flew past the window they boys stood at, close enough to touch the glass herself. Nightwing shook his head in mild disbelief as the panes rattled slightly.
"Dude..." Beast Boy started. "That girl is something else!" Nightwing nodded, grinning widely.
"She'll be landing on the roof. I'm gonna go meet her. See you later, Gar." Nightwing waved as he limped toward the roof access. Beast Boy caught up and grabbed his arm.
"Dick... I know we already said it but... Thanks. Thank you." Nightwing smiled, extracted his arm and clapped Beast Boy on the back. He seemed to struggle for words for a moment... then gave up, slapped Beast Boy's back again and resumed his journey to the roof.
Beast Boy returned to the kitchen, putting the kettle and a cup and saucer on a small tray and then returned to Raven's room. He knocked gently...
*TAP TAP TAP*
(A/N: This will be the same period of time told from Raven's point of view.)
Raven watched Beast Boy exit her room, waiting for the door to close... he was gone. Raven immediately leapt from the bed and into her bathroom, grabbing her toothbrush and liberally applying her toothpaste. She brushed frantically... the taste was bad enough but her urgency was more from tension: Lust had practically driven her like the T-Car! After she has finished brushing her teeth, she stepped into the shower to quickly wash off any sweat or... other stuff from last night. As she showered, she communicated with her promiscuous emotion.
"Lust! A little restraint in future?" Raven thought. Lust answered straight away, very little guilt in her tone.
"Rae-Rae... that was me showing restraint." Raven didn't reply but Lust could feel her frustration and resentment. "Listen, Rae, you've spent the last couple of months slowly allowing your emotions more freedom, all so you could be with Beast Boy and, by necessity, I was last on that list! Can you blame me for feeling a little impatient?" Raven pondered Lust's words... Lust was simply a part of Raven, thus her impatience had been Raven's as well. With that epiphany and the fact that, so far, Lust's influence had been mostly positive, Raven felt her irritation slip away.
"Fair enough... but try to balance with the others a little more. Especially when my defenses are weak... like after I've just woken up." Raven said, pointedly. Lust's sheepish laughter echoed in Raven's mind as she finished her short shower and grabbed a towel.
*TAP TAP TAP*
Beast Boy had returned. She shouted loud enough to be heard from her bathroom:
"COME IN, GARFIELD." Dutifully he entered, placed the tea tray on Raven's desk and then, realising where she must be, sat on the edge of the bed to wait. An idea occurred to Raven... this one was definitely Lust's work. She looked in the mirror as if to reprimand herself... but found herself smiling instead. She blew out her breath and finished drying herself. "Okay..."
Beast Boy sat, whistling, on Raven's bed. As his mind wandered, the enormity of last night started to sink in: Sex. Sex had been had. And he been there. Raven too. Beast Boy and Raven had been there and sex had been had. For real, full-on sex. He tried to calm himself a little. This had been a big step and, if they were honest with each other, they both knew that yesterday's drama had been a catalyst. Even if Raven had purchased all the paraphernalia, there was no guarantee sex would be regular from now on. The fact remained, however...
"I totally had sex with Raven." Beast Boy muttered aloud, a smug grin spreading across his features. His confidence didn't last long... the bathroom door opened and he turned to greet Raven. Then his jaw dropped and he forgot how to speak.
"Hello, Garfield," Raven said, still towelling her hair. She leaned over to inspect the tea tray: everything seemed in order. She continued to dry her hair, deliberately ignoring Beast Boy's astonished stare. She supposed it was reasonable. After all, aside from the towel in her hands, currently above her head, she was stark naked. She finished towelling her hair and brought the square of fabric town and covered herself... Beast Boy looked like he might object. So she tossed the towel aside and bent down to reach the desk... perhaps a little more than necessary. From this angle, Beast Boy could see everything. After giving him an eyeful, Raven sat on the desk chair, crossed her legs and poured a cup of tea. She held the saucer and sipped from the cup, now facing Beast Boy and staring into his eyes. To his credit, he seemed to understand there was something... more going on here. Before she even heard Beast Boy's question, she had decided to be honest and up-front. If her fear could fill the tower with spectres when she was dishonest, she dreaded to think what images Lust would fill it with.
"Rae... um... Rae?" Beast Boy stammered. Raven's cheeks glowed a little as she sipped her tea.
"Recently, I did some 'research' to help us... In the course of that, I happened upon exhibitionism and voyeurism and, while I'm not especially keen on public displays, I realised that I have learned to like it when you... when you watch me. So I may have fantasized about you watching me while I do normal things, like drink tea... but naked. I guess I wanted to try it out while we were on a roll," she finished with a shy whisper. She hadn't meant to be quite so.. direct with her explanation and suspected Lust had something to do with it. Astonishingly, Wisdom and Knowledge claimed responsibility, citing Raven's same concerns about denial, though they admitted they may have taken it too far. As her attention returned to the outside world, she say Beast Boy's face: it hadn't changed since she had appeared, eyes wide, mouth open and cheeks pink. Raven sipped her tea again, looking past him at the curtained window. She noted the feel of the chair on her bare skin... could almost feel Beast Boy's eyes trace her every curve. She made an effort to adopt the same posture she would in normal conditions, to do otherwise would somehow ruin it. She spotted a tiny amount of tea that had spilled onto the saucer and, before she had really thought about it, tipped it slightly toward her. She shuddered as the now lukewarm liquid splashed on her chest then trailed down her stomach and to her sex.
"Oh dear," Raven whispered. Setting down her cup, she stood and used her powers to retrieve the towel from the floor. Once again staring into Beast Boy's eyes, she slowly wiped the tea from her body and, much to his relief, discarded the towel yet again. She turned and inspected her chair: there seemed to be a tiny wet patch. Part of her was mortified but Lust and Love reassured her that Beast Boy would love it...and Knowledge reminded her he could probably smell it. She looked at the green man who was yet to snap out of his stupor... "I thought I got it all... but it looks like I might have spilled tea on my chair as well. What do you think, Garfield?" she asked, her voice thick. Beast Boy stood and slowly ambled to the chair. If he hadn't already realised, now he knew... thatwasn't tea. This evidence that Raven was as excited as he was... it blew his mind. He turned his body to face her, their faces inches apart. He could taste the mint in her breath... she could feel the heat of his own against her skin. Eyes heavy-lidded, they both leaned in to kiss...
*BEEP BEEP BEEP*
The alarm rang, accompanied by the familiar red light. The couple blinked at each other for a moment, then Beast Boy's face twisted in frustration and despair.
"Ffffff...Fuck. FuckfuckfuckfuckFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUUUUCK!" Raven almost thought she saw a tear in his eye as Beast Boy cursed his luck. With a grumble, he turned and ran to his room to change. Raven, with an identical grumble, conjured her costume in an instant and headed to the common room...
It had been a fairly standard alarm, a hostage situation. With Raven's teleportation the hostage had been secured, leaving the others to easily subdue the perpetrator. Robin had insisted the team go together in the T-Car to strategize, so Beast Boy and Raven had sat in the back seat, with Starfire sat next to them. Their hands were together the hold trip, the tightness of their grip indicating their rising tension. As soon as the situation was in hand, Raven made an excuse about needing meditation, teleporting herself and Beast Boy home. The black raven appeared in Raven's bedroom but, instead of merely disappearing, it flared for a moment, spitting both of their uniforms to the floor and leaving them both nude. No time was wasted... their lips crashed together and their hands fisted in each other's hair. They ignored the bed and fell to the floor where they stood, Beast Boy blindly grabbing the bag containing the condoms. He broke contact with Raven to rifle through it. What he found amazed him: a bottle of lubricant, what appeared to be a pair of leather restraints, a blindfold and... he held the last object up his face.
"Rae... is this what I think it is?" Raven flushed a little... it was a tiny buttplug with what appeared to be synthetic tail-feathers attached. This was a little overwhelming... this was only their second time!
"I... got a little carried away," Raven whispered. "I thought, one day, we might want to try some things..." Beast Boy shook his head. Raven planned ahead for everything, it seemed. He made a deliberate show of throwing the more exotic items away, thought he kept the lubricant.
"Rae, right now I don't want toys, I don't wanna play games... I just want you." Raven silently eyed the bottle in his hand. "I read somewhere that 'lube makes everything better' once, so I figured, since you already bought it..." he trailed off as Raven smiled at him. He currently rested on his knees, with Raven on her back in front of him, her legs hooked around his own. He paused for a minute to absorb the image... but his patience didn't last. He once again donned the rubber sheath, then cautiously squirted a glob of the lube into his hand. Following the directions on the bottle (and amazed he could see straight enough to read them), Beast Boy warmed the substance between his fingers before applying... then he looked to Raven for permission. She nodded impatiently and he moved his fingers to her sex, gently spreading the lubricant. She moaned a little, feeling sensitive after their fun had been interrupted earlier. Beast Boy was mesmerised by the way she squirmed under his touch... but Raven didn't give him a chance to continue. Her feet moved up to his backside and pulled him toward her. He took the hint and slowly pushed himself inside her. There was no pain for Raven this time but neither of them were used to the sensation yet, needing a moment to adapt. Soon enough, Raven started moving her hips a little, spurring Beast Boy to begin thrusting. They kissed all the while, never seeming to feel quite close enough. Once again, Raven felt their pleasure intertwine, letting them finish together... there was something else though. Mixed with the love and lust was a sliver of grief. Raven looked up at Beast Boy and saw tears in his eyes. She kissed his cheek, tasting the salt, and whispered reassurance in his ear.
"Don't hold back, Garfield. Say what's on your mind," Raven encouraged. He broke a little further, a few silent sobs causing him to tremble.
"I'm sorry Rae, it's just... yesterday. We... You almost... I almost lost you and... and..." he trailed off there but it had been enough. He looked to Raven as her hand stroked his hair.
"I know, Garfield," she murmured, voice cracking. "I know." She put on arm around his neck and used the other to push herself up. After some awkward manoeuvering, Beast Boy was sat on the floor, his back resting against Raven's bed, and she was in his lap, facing him with her knees on either side of his hips. Amazingly, they were still connected and, as they kissed again, Raven could feel him become ready again. This time their lovemaking was more gentle, less passionate... but somehow it felt far more intense. Their kisses were relatively chaste and Raven bounced up and down in Beast Boy's lap at a slow pace. As Raven felt their oncoming climax, she moved slightly faster and looked into his eyes. When it arrived, Raven shuddered and her knees gave out, burying Beast Boy inside her as far as possible. His hips bucked and his toes curled... but they didn't break eye contact. After a time, they recovered enough to stand, moving to the bathroom to wash up. After Beast Boy disposed of the condom, they stepped into the shower together and washed each other, though every time their eyes met it resulted in long moments of inactivity while they stared. They both knew, though neither said it, that last night had been their way of distracting themselves from the trauma of the day and tonight... those feelings had spilled out. Even so, neither of them could bring themselves to regret it. After they had showered, they dressed again. Raven moved to the bed, drawing Beast Boy with her, but he released her hand and made for the door.
"I'll be right back, Rae... I just gotta get something." Raven nodded as he scooted down the corridor. Raven sat on her bed, blushing: the room was still imprinted with the emotions they had projected today... they were wonderful. She realised with a grimace that she would have to clean her carpet at some point.
"Feh... I'll worry about it some other time." she said to herself, simultaneously pleased and horrified that she had spoken something so... Beast Boy-ish! That same moment, the man himself returned, fumbling with something in his hands. As he sat beside her, Raven tried to get a look but was unable to tell what the package might be. It was a small, plain, cardboard box, a little battered and worn.
"Rae... I've been thinking over the past few days. I know we haven't really had a lot of time to do that but... yeah, I've been thinking. Thinking about what I want." Raven was inexplicably nervous... they had very clearly demonstrated their love for each other. Raven could even feel it! So why was he talking like this? Why wasn't her looking her in the eye?
"...Garfield?" Raven said, tentatively reaching for his hand. He allowed it, grasping the box in his right hand while Raven clutched the left. He finally looked at her... his smile was absent but his eyes shone with that sincerity that had caused her to fall for him in the first place. He opened his mouth to speak but no words came out... then, deciding to show rather than tell, he opened the box. Raven gasped.
"This... was my mother's," Beast Boy explained. It was a ring of almost plain gold, adorned with a single diamond, small but beautiful. It was undoubtedly a wedding ring.
"It's beautiful, Garfield... but what-" Raven began, nervously, her voice trembling. Her own anxiety fed off Beast Boy's, which seemed to fill the room.
"I'm not proposing, Rae. Not really." He took a deep breath. "But I still want you to have it."
"Garfield! I... I couldn't!" Raven protested. She couldn't take something so precious from him.
"Let me explain why, first, okay?" Beast Boy replied, a ghost of theat smile that Raven loved so much appearing. "I know we haven't been together that long... but we've known each other for years. What I feel for you is something I've never felt before. I don't think I ever will again. In fact, I don't want to. I'm not proposing right now, not even a long engagement or whatever... but I want you to hold on to that ring as a promise. A promise that you will be the only woman I will ever give that ring to. So one day, when you're ready, just bring it to me and I'll put it on your finger for real." Raven was speechless... for a time.
"G-Garfield..." she whispered. He kept going, his gaze turning away as he stared into space.
"I don't remember a lot about my parents, Rae... but I remember this: I asked my Dad once why he married my Mom. All he said was that he knew when he looked at her. He just knew." Beast Boy's eyes found hers again, that sincere smile there in all its glory. "Iknow, Rae. When I look at you, I know." Beast Boy started to blur as Raven's eyes filled with tears. She had thought he had run out of surprises... then he does this! His hand left hers and moved to her shoulders, drawing her into an embrace. She wrapped both arms around him and held him tightly. For a long moment they stayed that way... then Beast Boy felt Raven move. One of her hands reached out to his right and gently grasped the box. He released it with no resistance. Raven released her grip on Beast Boy, now sitting straight and cradling the box with both hands, gazing at it in wonder. Eventually, she looked back up at Beast Boy's beaming face, biting her lip and wearing her own smile. Still unable to find the right words, she only nodded at him and watched his grin grow even larger. She carefully placed the box on her nightstand, then lay down on the bed with Beast Boy. They kissed lightly and, due to the physically and emotionally draining day they'd had so far, felt sleep creeping up on them. They weren't getting married. They weren't even engaged. But they had the promise.
And, more importantly, they had each other.
THE END
Well, that's it for this little episode. I was right, it did get smutty lol! Things also got very deep for the pair. I wanted to show that, even though it wasn't necessarily bad considering how close they were anyway, even these guys can suffer a very human reaction to trauma. In this case, even though they discussed it (briefly!), they didn't completely deal with their emotional aftermath, instead rushing into sex to distract themselves. Feelings like that always come back, though, even after being all kinky and stuff, those bottled emotions popped out in the end. They seem to be healing pretty well now, though lol. Is anyone surprised I ended up finishing a lemon-y story with gooey BBRae fluff? Cos I ain't :)
P.S. The coitus interruptus was a stupid idea I had for funnies but then I thought the inevitable frustration might make them less guarded, leading up to the tearful little breakdown. I hope it worked!
