The Day After

The short oneshot for the belated Valentine's Day (yes, the title says it). Raven finds herself in a bit troublesome situation after the Valentine's.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was the day after Valentine’s Day and the Titans Tower was lazy as it has never been before. It was strongly after two in the afternoon, and the only one’s awake were Cyborg and Robin. They were playing a video game on the sofa but didn’t really put heart into it. Or at least Robin didn’t, being still a little dazed from the night before.
"Booyaah!!" Cyborg exclaimed, jumping from the sofa and dancing his victory dance. Robin didn’t even flinch. And Cyborg couldn’t not notice that.
"Yo, Rob! I just kicked your butt!"
Robin shook his head as if trying to shake off his thoughts.
"Sorry, I was thinking about last night" he said, his cheeks stained red a little. A knowing grin painted itself on Cyborg’s face.
"I assume your date with Starfire went well?" he asked sitting back on the sofa.
"Let’s say she’s gonna need to sleep in, if you catch my drift." Cyborg’s grin grew wider.
"Nice, man! High five!" They high fived. "But if you’ll ever make her cry, I’ll make sure you suffer." Robin gave him an odd look.
"What? You know she’s like a sister  to me. I mean, you’re like my little brother, but I’ll always stay on my lil’ sis’ side, you know what I mean?"
"I guess…" Robin answered, cocking his eyebrow. "But what if we have some trouble and it’s her fault?"
"Robin, lesson number one about relationships. The fault is always on you."
Robin now frowned. "Well, that’s a bummer" he managed to say.
"Tell me ‘bout it." Cyborg’s human eye rolled while he started a new game. Just then the main door opened and in walked Raven.
"Hi Raven" guys greeted her simultaneously. She jumped a little and gasped, her cheeks turned slightly red. They weren’t looking at her, good. She swallowed her embarrassment and said a shy ‘hi’ then started for the kitchenette to make her not-so-morning tea.
"You slept in" Robin started. "Rough night?"
Raven recalled her memories from the night and her cheeks turned red instantly. Good thing boys were engaged in the game.
"Not really. Actually it was one of the best nights I’ve ever had."
"Glad to hear that." Robin’s answer came.
"Yeah, but it doesn’t explain why you slept in" Cyborg chimed in. "You never sleep in. And it’s…" he glanced at the watch in his arm. And that’s what Robin needed. "Good lord! It’s almost three PM!"
"Haha!" Robin laughed triumphantly. "Now we’re even!"
"Aw, man!"
"I woke up few hours before" Raven said as if she wanted to defend herself.
"Then why didn’t you come for breakfast?" Cyborg asked and turned his face to her, but when he saw her he stopped talking and paled. Robin followed his lead.
"Well, Raven, that’s one very interesting attire." Robin said. Her face turned red.
She was on her way to sit down by the table with her tea when they saw her. Barefoot, wearing only man’s T-shirt. Good thing was, it was long enough to cover her almost to her knees. Plus her hair was a little mess. She stuttered a little, trying to think of something to say, but she was at a loss of words. Suddenly Cyborg shook his head vigorously.
"Is my eye wrong or is that BB’s shirt?" he asked. Robin cocked an eyebrow, a knowing smile planted on his face.
Raven’s mind raced. She had to think of something. She didn’t even know what happened yesterday between Beast Boy and her. She didn’t know if this was a one night stand or was it something more? They didn’t have the time to discuss it. Or, they had, but instead they chose to fool around again in the morning. She didn’t even know the boys were in the room when she came in. And she didn’t want anyone in the tower know. So she had to think of some excuse, fast.
"Um… No, it’s not."
"Great thinking, Sherlock." she berated herself in her head.
"Oh, I don’t know" Robin teased. "I’m pretty sure I saw him wear this shirt just yesterday."
Again, Raven tried desperately to think of something.
"No, he wasn’t."
And again failed miserably.
"I-it’s mine."
"Why would you own a man’s T-shirt?" Cyborg asked.
"Because… um… I’m very lonely. Yes. And…" she wasn’t stuttering like that since… Well, she never really stuttered. "And yesterday was Valentine’s so I thought… that, you know… I have this shirt for occasions when I feel like I need a boyfriend, whom I don’t, but you know, just to ease myself… Wait, it sounded wrong… What I mean is…"
"What you mean is you don’t want us to know your lonely Valentine’s wasn’t so lonely after all?" Robin helped her.
"Yes. I mean, NO!" she covered her beet red face with her palms. Something in the kitchen shattered.
"So you hooked up with Beast Boy last night?" Cyborg managed to utter, still pale on his face.
Raven opened her mouth to say something, but again, her brain failed her and she came up with: ‘I gotta go’. She turned on her heel to the door (forgeting completely about her powers), when they swooshed open and she was met by gleeful face of the Tamaranean also known as Starfire.
"Oh, friend Raven! I wish to do the girl talk with you. I had the most wonderful day yesterday! Robin was so romantic and...!" she stopped in her tracks, when she glanced at her friend’s faces. Cyborg was visibly shocked to the bone, pale, mouth agape and what not. Robin was grinning knowingly and Raven was… Well, friend Raven was a mess! Her hair was in askew, her face unbelievably red and she was wearing…
"Raven, is this friend Beast Bboy’s shirt?"
"Wha…" Raven scoffed. "No. Why’s everybody asking me that?"
"Because I saw him in this particular shirt yesterday. He said he had no mood for the Valentine’s dating so he was going to watch some sort of a movie."
"Um…" Raven stuttered again. Stupid brain!
"Is it possible that the two of you had spent some time together? "
"I don’t know, is it?" she asked dumbly. What was wrong with her today?
"You both stayed in the tower last night when Robin and I, and Cyborg and Sarah went out to do the dating."
This was getting creepy. Starfire kept her eyes on Raven’s and didn’t even flinch. Raven for that matter felt as if she was pinned to the pin board like some bad announcement like ‘Hey! I just hooked up with one of my friends last night!’. Oh, why didn’t she wear her own clothes? Oh, that’s right. One: Beast Boy said he liked her in his shirt, and two: she assumed that after hot, crazy exhausting Valentine’s ‘sweet love’ sessions the whole team wouldn’t be up till 5 PM. Azar, was she wrong.
"Well?" Starfie insisted.
"What do you want me to say?" Raven furrowed her brows.
"All right then, I will simply ask." Starfire took a cleansing breath with her eyes closed. And when she opened them, she asked Raven the most embarrassing question of all history.
"Did you give friend Beast Boy your innocence as your valentine gift for him?"
If they could, Raven’s eyebrows would shot up to the sky, or at least to the ceiling. Robin snickered, and Cyborg muttered something about giving him a break because Raven was like his little sister. The door opened again, and Beast Boy waltzed in, wearing only his boxers. Robin let out another snicker. Cyborg started calling god for help, Starfire’s eyes lit up when she saw the now pretty tall and very satisfied green changeling waltzing to Raven and giving her the most passionate kiss Starfire had ever seen. Raven looked as if she was about to pass out. Beast Boy obviously ignored everything and everyone besides Raven.
"Did I tell you you look cute in my shirt?" he asked her.
"Yes, and that’s why I’m having the most embarrassing conversation of my life" she said. Now Beast Boy looked at the room and saw all of his other teammates.
"Oh, hi guys" he greeted. Raven cut off their greetings.
"What are you doing here?" she asked.
"Well, I woke up and you weren’t there. I waited, but you took long and I missed you so I thought I’d come to find you. And some breakfast." He smiled disarmingly.
"I thought we would… you know… talk?"
"‘Bout what?" He frowned.
"Um… about yesterday?"
"Oh, I… didn’t think you’d want to talk" he admitted.
"And why wouldn’t I?" she asked, a little irked.
"C’mon, Rae, we just spent the night together, I thought it was kinda, you know, obvious about the rest."
"And you mean…?" she wanted him to explain himself.
"You know…" He shrugged, still holding her small frame in his arms after the ‘good afternoon’ kiss.
"No, I don’t. "
"Aren’t you supposed to be the smart one here?" he asked rhetorically. She just cocked a brow, so he sighed, giving up the humor. "I thought it would be kinda obvious that I’d consider you, you know, my... girlfriend."
Raven’s features softened. Starfire gasped, but tried to suppress it in her palms. Robin leaned to Cyborg to ask ‘why didn’t we put popcorn in?’.
"I mean, if you’re okay with it" Beast Boy added. Starfire jumped in place.
"Friends, does it mean that you are officially the couple?"
"As long as she says yes!" Beast Boy explained.
"Beast Boy, I already said ‘yes’ to you three times last night" Raven spoke, looking him in the eyes.
"And twice in the morning." He wiggled his eyebrows.
"Oh, dear lord!" Cyborg exclaimed.
"You beat me, BB!" Robin said with a huge smile on his face, while his Tamaranean girlfriend started to strangle both Beast Boy and Raven. Though Raven was in a little worse position, she was the shortest of the team now. They all said their congratulations to the new couple. Of course, Cyborg being the older brother figure that he is, said:
"Congrats, guys. I’m really happy for you." then took Beast Boy to the side. "If you hurt her, I’ll hurt you twice as much."
"Dude, what if she’s the one to screw up?"
"Ok, rule number one: the fault is always on you."
"But…!"
"No 'buts'."
"Well, that’s a bummer."
"You think that’s a bummer? Try to be the only guy in the tower who did not get laid on Valentines."
"Give ‘er some time dude, you’ve been only seeing Sarah for a month."
"That comes from the guy who nailed Raven without prior dating." Beast Boy only laughed at that.
