Oh ma days, Cletus, has it really been that long??? I apologize profusely for the delay but I didn't want to write something crap and I don't think you guys would like to read something crappy either.

This is just some fluff, not really much of a plot progression, but I hope you like it nonetheless!!!

Read on!

Because I am not the creator of Teen Titans, I am not the creator of Teen Titans. And just because they make an appearance in my story, does not mean that I am the creator of Teen Titans. And because I'm not the creator of Teen Titans, I'm not making money from this story, and just because.... creator..... Teen Titans.... yadda.... watermelon....

"NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO you can't do this to me, nooooooooooo!!!!"

"I apologize, Beast Boy, but I must remove it for hygiene purposes!"

Beast Boy winced and screamed as Starfire pulled off a plaster from his green skin.

"OOOOOOOWOWOWOWOWWW!!"

Raven just stared at the pathetic scene before her and vowed that she'd water Starfire's grass before she would ever even attempt to think about kissing this creature before her again. What on earth had she been thinking? Just because she had an opportunity to express herself did not mean that she had to go and lock lips with Beast Boy! Thinking about it for the ten-zillionth time that day, Raven just could not believe that she'd kissed this clown who was sitting there sucking his thumb.

She couldn't believe how, how--!!!!

How... soft and... warm....

Raven yelped in frustration as the thought would just not leave her mind! Right, she was going to go somewhere else now because the mere sight of him just squashed her to a pulp.

Meanwhile...

"Um, Starfire, there's something I need to tell you, I think I love you. No, I think I love you. No, I think I love you... No, I--"

A loud crashing noise could be heard as several tons of weights plummeted towards the ground.

"Cut it OUT, Robin!" came a frustrated yell from an extremely peeved Cyborg. "If anyone happens to be listening from outside, I swear, YES I SWEAR, I'ma kill you, jackbutt." Cyborg glared at a nonchalant looking Robin, who just shrugged. He followed Cyborg's wishes and stopped his rehearsal for his love confession. Pulling the weights back up, Cyborg resumed his intense training.

A few moments passed where a tense silence lingered in the air. All that could be heard was the clanking of the weight machine as it rose and fell. Cyborg twitched a little as he sensed a small voice in the corner.

"I think I love you, Starfire. No, actually, I think I love you--"

"ROBIIIIIIIIINN!"

Back at the previous scene, Beast Boy was lounged on the sofa clutching the red mark on his arm where the glass had cut it. The night before, he'd strangely slipped and fell on some broken glass in one of the corridors of the T-tower. No one knew how it got there, with the exception of Cyborg, of course, who saw the proprietor of the crime.

As Beast Boy sat pensively in silence, he didn't notice a pair of amethyst eyes watch him, almost religiously.

'What is it about him? Why, for goodness' sake?'

Raven sighed to herself as rabid thoughts ran about her head. Seriously, she couldn't figure out why on earth she was making such a big fuss out of just one kiss. Besides, it was a once in a lifetime thing.

'A once in a lifetime thing? Well my life's obviously doomed if I did that with Beast Boy...' she thought, figuring out that she wasn't feeling any better. And what exactly did she mean, just a kiss? Since when did she regard a kiss as something as casual as grazing one's knee?

She sat there watching him in an eerie quiet but when he showed a sign of turning around, for he had shifted in his place, her eyes immediately shot upon a different object.

Yes, things were very uneasy between the two now that they had shared something quite, let's say, intimate, with each other. Beast Boy hadn't looked at Raven all morning. And as proved, the minute she thought he would look, Raven would avert her eyes in turn.

Shifting her glance, Raven was relieved to see that Starfire had come back from her quest for new bandages and disinfectant. "Oh, joy! I have brought to you the means of which that will help you heal!! Joy, joy!"

'How the absolute heck did she manage to be so ecstatic all the time?' Raven thought as she slightly raised an eyebrow at the Tamaranian before her.

Raven watched murderously as Starfire handled Beast Boy's arm with surprisingly gentle care and nearby somewhere, a small cup broke into pieces as a result of her hidden emotion.

"Starfire..." Raven started, all part of her secret plan. "Someone's calling you."

"Where? Where?!! Oh, joy!!"

The small girl rushed off towards the training room where coincidentally, she had really heard someone call her name. It was all downhill for Raven from here on out. Yes, it was part of her secret plan to make Beast Boy believe that she was in no way attracted to him whatsoever. None... absolutely, not... no feelings whatsoever.... yeah.

She could see the fear in the small green boy's eyes as she neared him on the large couch. Although it was one of the smaller couches, there couldn't be any more distance between them. And if Raven had a curious nature, she would have suspected that Beast Boy changed himself so that he appeared smaller.

Oh, wait, she did.

"Uh, h-h-hey, R-R-Raven... " he cowered in utmost fear. As a result of this, the boy's eyes turned moist, looking like he was about to cry. "So, uh.... w-what's up?" Beast Boy tried his best to look calm and cool by running a hand through his hair. However, his position on the couch didn't allow this. Seeing as he had been leaning his whole frame on his elbows, the loss of support from one of them caused the other to slip off the chair, landing him face-first onto the table. Oh, that was not to mention how his hand receded almost instantly from pain when he'd reached for his mane of green.

After a long silence, with the occasional wince of searing pain...

"Beast Boy, you hurt?" Raven asked in her same monotonous voice as always. However, she knew he wasn't okay at all. The impact of hitting his noise on the table had caused it to bleed and tears were trickling down his eyes because of the pain.

"I-I'm... uh... fine!" he screeched, if you could call it that, in a muffled, blocked voice. He jammed his hand against his nose, stopping the blood from leaking onto the floor but then making it spill all over his attire. "Excuse me one second!!"

Beast Boy leapt off the couch and made a desperate dash for the bathroom. "AHHH!!!!!!!!" Unfortunately, he didn't make it all the way there.

Raven didn't even need to turn around to acknowledge the fact that Beast Boy had once more done injustice to his nose by falling on it again. She sighed, and reluctantly, yet not, got up to help the situation.

"Beast Boy, stay there."

Raven walked a few paces over to the adjoining kitchen and filled a glass with water from the tap. After carefully doing this, she picked up the bandages that Starfire had previously abandoned on her quest to find who had yelled her name.

The green being lay helplessly on the floor, clutching his face and crying in pain. He couldn't repress his sobs and that made him look like such a baby. And especially in front of his one and only Raven.

She, on the other hand, was for the first time in her life, attempting to personally, physically, help another being. And that meant contact with the other person.

"Hold still, this will hurt." came her droll, and very bluntly at that.

Raven dabbed on the disinfectant onto the scar on his arm after tilting up his head to stop the blood from following gravity onto the floor, even though it wouldn't have been that much different because there was practically a puddle already.

Surprisingly, when Raven made contact with his skin, Beast Boy didn't even flinch, not one bit!

This new revelation shocked Raven to the core and her previous plan about making Beast Boy understand her lack of enthusiasm was pushed aside, in one moment of euphoria.

But it was just one moment.

"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!"

Apparently, he must have been delayed a reaction because of the pain. Oh well, better luck next time, Raven.

His last desperate bid by flinging Robin out of the window having failed, Cyborg exited the training room in hope of peace. "Oh, please, I'll do anything, anything!!" he muttered hopelessly to himself as he ran terrified out of the room. The good news was, there were still other training methods available outside. The bad news was, Cyborg wouldn't be using them for he had been eternally traumatised by Robin's endless sentence. So to speak.

"Huh? What's he moaning about? Oh well." Robin shrugged as he caught a glimpse of Cyborg flailing out in horror. Once again, he resumed his lines, but this time only in his head, which was just as lucky because a certain fuchsia haired Tamaranian had made her presence known. "Hey, Star, what's up?" Robin said in an unusually high pitched voice. Well, at least he stopped in time, she didn't overhear anything, did she?

"You said my name?"

Oh, she did.

Robin gulped nervously as he tried to think of an acceptable excuse for his foolish, not to mention abnormal, behaviour.

"Oh, um, no that wasn't me. I was saying... um... 'car buyer', not Starfire!! Oh ho ho!" Needless to say, that was a terrible save. But Starfire's lack of consistency was to Robin's advantage as she just happily agreed and smiled.

"Oh, Robin, are you buying a car? Can I come? Where is the car buyer-age taking place? Robin, why do you look so blank?"

Her words said it all, Robin was now trying to think of further excuses to justify his original one, and therefore his features were in a state of vacancy. 'Great, I just had to be soo extra!! I couldn't have just said 'No, Starfire, I didn't call you', but nooooo!! I just had to say 'car buyer'....'

"Robin, are you listening? Oh, no, Robin!! Have the mind consuming Lark Gnorgs consumed your living brain??? Oh, no, no!!"

"Uh, no, Star, I'm here." he said, finally snapping back to reality with an answer that, in his mind, was perfectly foolproof. "Anyways, sure I said car-buyer, that's because I'm rehearsing a scene from this play that I'm doing that no one's ever heard of before. It's about this car buyer that sells a car, the end."

Now it was Starfire's turn to look blank. So sure, she wasn't the brightest bee in the hive, but she hadn't been living under a rock, for crying out loud. "Robin, that sounds like a great play!!"

Of course she hadn't been hiding under a rock!! How else would she have retaliated to that question in such a normal way...?

"I must help you, Robin!! Let me help you rehearse!!"

A look of pure shock plastered itself on Robin's face as he didn't even attempt to think of a comeback to this. "... Sure...." he just blankly murmured before Starfire dragged him off in the direction of the open air above.

"There, I've finished."

"..."

"What?"

"..."

"Don't stare at me like that."

"... uh..."

"..."

"Beast-Raven-boy-why-don't-did-get-you-any-kiss-ideas!-me?"

The two of them sat pinned to the floor beside each other, and even though the two sentences they'd sprouted out contrasted greatly, there surprisingly wasn't much awkwardness in the air. Just more... amusement.

"You first... Beast Boy." Raven said, trying not to smile in the pause she'd given.

For a moment, all he did was stare at her.

And then he burst into a fit of giggles.

Raven, not entirely sure what was so funny, avoided eye contact with him for she knew that something big was going to blow up the moment she even thought to laugh. She stared, with an eyebrow raised, at the other boy before they were interrupted by Cyborg.

"What's wrong with him?" he asked, also raising an eyebrow at the changeling.

Raven elaborated, rather sarcastically. "What's right with him?"

The human robot emitted a chuckle before asking another question. "You guys seen Star or Robin? I just remembered that boy's got my elevation pack somewhere, damn fool."

Beast Boy lay giggling while Raven shook her head. This action got Cyborg very annoyed as he punched the air with his fist and mumbled something. "Man, you'd think I'd know where my own body parts are being kept... stupid.... blow up..."

Raven returned her attention to her emotionally deprived friend and shook her head, trying to work out what the hell to do. The plan was obviously non-existent now. There wasn't much left to do but leave the crazy maniac there laughing in solitude.

And so she did. Raven rose up from the floor, her cape clouding her form as she stood and turned to leave.

"Ah... I'm only laughing because I remembered the look on your face.... when you kissed me." came a taunting voice from somewhere behind Raven.

Somewhere in the kitchen again, a whole row of plates smashed into each other.

"And then, you read this..." Robin pointed to a script that he'd scribbled in under five minutes, when Starfire had allowed him to 'go to the bathroom', or so she thought.

"Oh!" she squealed. "I get it now, so I buy the car off you and then you fall in love with me, but I don't know because you're too afraid to tell me? Oh JOY!!"

Robin laughed loudly in a nervous manner as he was only reminded of his current situation. "Yeah..." was the only thing that he managed to say. Robin sighed as he watched her dance around. Sure, he liked her and all, but didn't she ever get tired? Where exactly did she get all that energy?

'Meh, must be Tamaranians...' he thought, and chuckled cleverly to himself.

"Okay, so let's start, Star, ya ready?" he said after clearing his throat. Robin was back to his confident self again. He was always confident, even with Starfire, but when he thought about his other feelings for her, he'd instantly break into a 500 mile runner's sweat.

"Yes, ready!" she beamed. As the first line was hers, she proceeded. "Oh, Mr. Car Buyer, may I buy a car?"

Robin smirked and nodded, telling her that she was doing fine. "Sure you can, lady, here you go."

"Thank you, good day!"

Robin smiled again and so did Starfire. For a little while, they carried on as if they were rehearsing for a real existing play. They were so wrapped up in their 'smashing' performance that they didn't notice Cyborg approaching.

"Oh, and yes, I think I love you." Robin said, finishing the marvelous piece of literature. He bowed to Starfire and she smiled in delight.

"So, you two finally got together? About damn time, an' where's my elevation pack, Robin?!"

'Slight' blushes crept onto Robin and Starfire's cheeks as Cyborg's words weaned themselves into their ears. Finally? Since when did the other...?

"Robin--"

The loud sound of the Titan's alert rang as Starfire was just about to say something.
