He could smell it.
It was part of the curse of having heightened senses; he could always hear the little things the others did at night, he could always see what lurked among the shadows, and he could always smell the various foods being cooked no matter where he was in the tower.
But Garfield could always smell more than just food, and there were some scents that drove him a little bit mad. Like whenever Raven or Starfire started emitting their 'in season' pheromones.
It was a scent that burned in his nose, igniting his body on fire. He always had to keep his distance whenever it started tickling his nose, lest he do something incredibly stupid. And the girls usually returned the favor.
So he was rather shocked when his communicator started blinking with a message from Raven, asking him to come to her room. He stared at the screen, his brows pulled together in confusion as he tried to make sense of the request. Why would she want him to see her now, of all times? He knew she was aware of his predicament, after that episode a few years back when he'd tried to kiss a girl who was emitting the very same pheromones. Garfield heaved a sigh, and tossed the communicator to the couch.
This was probably a terrible idea, he knew, but it was better to humour the empath than make her angry. So to her room he went, his apprehension building as he drew near.
Despite the door providing a barrier, the spicy scent still tickled at his nostrils, making him feel antsy. Garfield chewed on his lip and rapped on her door, taking care to step far enough back to stay somewhat sane. The door slid open with a whoosh, revealing the familiarly cloaked shape of Raven.
Her amethyst eyes gleamed in the light, her burning gaze tangling with his own. She regarded him impassively, before beckoning him into her room. Garfield blinked, balking hesitantly.
"Uh...Rae?"
She sighed, gesturing him inside once more. "Please, Gar, come in." Her clipped voice sent chills down his spine, and he gulped. The delicious scent rolling off of her certainly didn't help ease his anxiety, instead it made everything just a bit more hazy. Still, he obliged, all but stumbling into her room. The door clicked shut behind them, and he turned to meet her gaze.
Raven eyed him from across the room, something devious glittering in the depths of her irises. "I have a proposition," she said quietly. Garfield gulped, fidgeting nervously.
"O-oh?"
She closed the distance between them, pausing only a hairsbreadth away from him. Her warm breath tickled his lips, and her addicting scent made him feel hot all over. "I...have this itch," she murmured. Garfield shivered, feeling dizzy. He forgot how to breath, it seemed, for he started to feel lightheaded.
Raven grazed her fingers against his arm, her touch searing into his skin and making him shudder. Garfield bit back a whine, squirming in place. She was teasing him, and dammit, he wanted nothing more than to pin her against the wall and pound her till she screamed. The thought was as terrifying as it was exhilarating, and he had to ball his hands in fists and chomp on his lip to keep from acting.
"I need help scratching it," Raven said, her alluring gaze tangling with his. "Will you help me?"
He responded by crashing his lips into hers, kissing her hard. Raven slipped her arms around his waist and kissed him back, their tongues tangling in a desperate embrace. A moment later, Raven pulled back, cradling his face in her hands. "This stays between us, okay?"
Garfield bit his lip and nodded, before leaning in and kissing her again. Yeah sure, he'd keep this a secret. But right now, his biggest concern was tearing that damn cloak off and having his way with her.
Soon enough their clothes were left in a forgotten pile on the floor, and they laid entangled together on the bed and between the sheets, giving in to their innermost carnal desires.
It's been awhile!
So, I am well aware I haven't updated Beastly in, like forever. I've basically written myself into a corner for it, and as such have sorta...lost inspiration. So, I'm hoping this story will help get me back on track with writing multifics! I'm kind of excited, since this should be a fun, mostly lighthearted piece. This will also tackle a common trope, and I'm excited to bring a new spin to it!
Thanks for bearing with me you guys!
