It was a bright, sunny day and the Teen Titans decided it was time for some fun in the sun. They packed up their beach gear and headed to the shore for a day of swimming, sandcastle building and sunbathing.

Once they got to the beach, they found a nice spot under an umbrella and set up their beach chairs and coolers. In spite of the scorching heat, everyone seemed to be having a good time. Starfire was already in her swimsuit, while Dick was in his trucks. Raven was in her bikini, while Damian was still in his his shirt and shorts. Beast Boy was in his trucks, and Blue Beetle was in his trucks as well.

While the others were splashing around in the water, Raven decided to build a sandcastle, while Damian was just chilling in the shade.

Dick took on the role of lifeguard, constantly scanning the water to make sure everyone was safe. Starfire was practicing her backstroke, while Blue Beetle was showing off his diving skills. Beast Boy was busy transforming into different sea creatures, making everyone laugh with his antics.

As the day wore on, the heat became unbearable and the Titans decided to cool off with some ice-cold lemonade. Raven and Damian went to buy some drinks while the others dried off and relaxed in the shade.

When Raven and Damian returned, they gave the drinks to the rest of the titans and they happily sipped on the refreshing lemonade. As they drank, Beast Boy suddenly perked up. "Hey, guys, I have an idea!" he said excitedly.

"What is it?" Starfire asked, intrigued.

"Well, since we're all here at the beach, why don't we have a sandcastle building competition?" Beast Boy suggested.

The others looked at each other and shrugged. "Why not?" Dick said with a grin.

And so, the Titans split into three teams: Dick and Starfire, versus Beast Boy and Blue Beetle versus Raven and Damian. They spent the next hour building their sandcastles, using buckets, shovels, and their own hands to create intricate designs and structures.

When the hour was up, everyone stepped back to admire their creations. Dick and Starfire had built a towering sandcastle with multiple spires, Beast Boy and Blue Beetle had created a sand sculpture of a dragon, and Raven and Damian had crafted a detailed sandcastle with a moat and drawbridge.

After much deliberation and debate, the Titans ultimately decided that each team had done an amazing job, and declared everyone a winner. They took some pictures to commemorate the occasion, and then sat back to enjoy the rest of their day at the beach.

A while later, Raven and Damian were both in the shade together and they began to look into each others eyes. Damian cleared his throat awkwardly. "Raven, I uh... I wanted to thank you for being my partner in the sandcastle building competition," he said, his voice a little shaky.

Raven smiled softly. "You're welcome, Damian. It was fun working with you."

They sat in comfortable silence for a few moments, the sound of the waves lapping against the shore providing a soothing backdrop to their conversation. Damian fidgeted nervously, then took a deep breath. "Raven, there is something else I wanted to tell you," he said, his tone serious.

Raven turned to him, intrigued. "What is it?"

"I... I think I might have feelings for you," Damian admitted, his cheeks flushing bright red.

Raven's eyes widened in surprise. "Oh," she said softly, suddenly feeling a bit flustered herself. "That's... unexpected."

Damian looked down at his hands. "I know we've had our differences in the past, but I admire you, Raven. You're strong and capable, and... beautiful."

Raven felt her cheeks warm at the compliment. "Thank you, Damian."

There was a moment of awkward silence between them, and then Raven took a deep breath. "I have feelings for you too, Damian," she said, her heart racing with nervous anticipation.

Damian looked up at her, his eyes widening in shock. "You do?"

Raven nodded, feeling a weight lifted off her shoulders. "I do. I've been trying to deny it for a long time, but it's there."

Damian's face broke into a wide smile. "I'm glad to hear it, Raven. I've been hoping for this for a while now."

Raven smiled back, feeling a sense of relief and happiness wash over her. "I'm glad we can be honest with each other."

They sat there for a while longer, enjoying the warmth of the sun and the sound of the waves, their hands intertwined.

For the first time in a long time, Raven felt at peace. She had found something unexpected and beautiful on this beach, and she knew that whatever came next, she was ready to face it. With Damian by her side, she could do anything.

Dick, who heard the whole thing, came up behind Damian, "You finally told her, huh?"

Damian turned to him with a smirk on his face. "Yes, I did. And it seems like it was worth it."

Dick grinned back at him. "I'm happy for you. You deserve to be happy, babybird."

"Stop with that nickname, Grayson" Damian says as rolled his eyes.

Dick chuckled. "I'll always call you that, little brother."

Raven looked between the two of them, feeling a sense of gratitude and contentment wash over her. It was a good feeling, something she hadn't felt in a long time.

"I'm glad you two are brothers," she said softly. "You both have each other's backs, no matter what."

Dick smiled at her. "That's what family is for. And, Raven, you're family too. Don't ever forget that."

Raven felt her eyes water as she looked at the two of them. "Thank you," she whispered. "For everything."

Damian put a hand on Raven's shoulder, giving her a reassuring squeeze. "You don't have to thank us. We'll always be here for you."

Together, the titans stood on the beach, watching the waves crash against the shore. It was a moment of peace and togetherness that Raven knew would stay with her for a long time. With Damian and the titans by her side, she knew that she could face anything that came her way. And she was grateful for that, more than words could say.
