The Beast Called Kitty

Chapter 3

Author's Note: I didn't expect to have so many ideas for this story, but I'm really thankful that I do. I love the idea of the beast being tamed and having Raven take the lead in the relationship. She seems like the type that does not want to be out of control of the situation, and Beast Boy always made me think that if he ever really got a chance to be with her, that he would go at her pace.

Chapter 3

After taking part in his first battle as Kitty, he had tired himself out and reverted back to Beast Boy. Raven flew him back to the tower with her soul self and left him in the common room while she went to go take a shower.

Upon the rest of the team's arrival, Beast Boy was being teased by Cyborg relentlessly. Only when Raven wasn't present of course. Even while he wasn't in beast form, he was still her Kitty and she would always defend him by scaring the pants off of whoever the offender was. However, at the moment, she was in the shower and wasn't available.

Cyborg was free to antagonize the little green bean once again. Although, the 'little' green bean was more like the Jolly Green Giant now. He had grown a lot over the years and had developed more muscles than Robin, who was now considering changing his hero name to Nightwing. Even though he wasn't as tall or big as Cyborg, there really wasn't any room to call him little in any aspect now.

"Come on, lettuce head. Give it up. What do you have on Raven?" Cyborg began his litany of indirect, and direct, insults.

"Dude! I'm telling you, I am not blackmailing Raven. We love each other," he explained, already losing patience, not that he had much to begin with.

"But you have admit, green bean, you and Raven hadn't exactly been best buds, and now you're suddenly dating and cuddling. She named the Beast Kitty. She calls you Kitty most of the time." Cyborg kept poking fun at him.

"Hey! She lets me call her Rae now. And there is nothing wrong with her calling me Kitty. Right, "Sparky"? I seem to recall a certain flying titan with an insect type name calling you by an embarrassing endearment," he replied, showing off the vocabulary he had picked up spending so much time with Raven and even reading some books with her.

Cyborg blushed and had to snappy comeback. The conversation ended just in time too, because Raven walked into the room in casual attire. Cyborg did not want a repeat of what happened the last time he had teased the cabbage patch about how his relationship with Raven. He had been washing the fish smell off of him for a week from his trip into the bay.

Raven didn't waste any time and floated over to where Beast Boy was reclining on the couch, smug after one-upping Cyborg in their argument, debate, conversation... whatever it was they had been doing. Without further ado, Raven laid her head down on his lap and proceeded to watch the TV with him, not even commenting or complaining about what station he had selected. This was most likely due to the fact that Beast Boy had been making an effort to read the books that she liked with her, so she would, in turn, make an effort to watch or at least tolerate the shows and movies that he enjoyed.

However, she had yet to play video games even once. Beast Boy was still working on that one, but he felt that he was close to figuring out her breaking point on this issue.

Right now, though, they had reached a good place in their time together. A balance as it were. They would trade off doing the things that they enjoyed, adn sometimes they were do separate things together. He would watch TV and put the closed captioning on with low volume while she would read. Or She would meditate while he played his video games. Anyway they decided to spend their time, it was together and in harmony.

Of course they still had their fights, but they would make-up much quicker and try and understand where the other was coming from.

While she was laying on his lap, Beast Boy stroked her hair, occasionally brushing the tips of his fingers against her chakra, causing her to shiver slightly at the influx of emotions that he gave her. She could feel his love, affection, and contentment flood her system with each touch and it made her drunk on the feeling. When he had first discovered this quirk of hers, he couldn't resist from planting a big kiss right on the gem. What he hadn't anticipated was the strength of her reaction.

They were having a quiet date on an island a ways off from the tower, so it was a good thing that the only thing to witness she spectacle were the trees.

Raven became like Starfire and simply couldn't contain herself. She flew around the forest and as much as Beast Boy tried to make her come back to Earth, she spiraled higher and higher in her unbridled joy. He had never seen her show such emotion without damaging all of the light bulbs in the tower and the occasional T-car, so seeing her at the mercy of her feelings was definitely a new and unexpected experience.

After she had come down from the high, she had made him promise to not do that again, or at least to wait until she had some better control. Although she had not destroyed anything, she felt uncomfortable with being at the mercy of her desires. There was not telling what would have happened if their were others around to witness her moment of weakness.

She would never live it down if Cyborg had gotten video proof that the ice queen had been thawed by the annoying changeling.

Regardless of what had happened on that day, Raven was drowning in happiness once again, but instead of receiving one big hit of the emotion, she was taking small but frequent doses curtesy of Beast Boy's hands.

Those hands were so gentle as they brushed her hair away from her face and she felt so loved. She didn't even care when she started drifting off to sleep. Normally she would never let her guard down like this in front of other people, but she knew that if anything happened, her Kitty would take care of her.
