Raven jolts up right on her bed, sweat dripping down her
face. She can feel her heartbeat pulsating through her body, her shallow gasps
of air not enough to provide the much needed oxygen to her shivering body.
Her eyes remain open in terror as the memories of her
nightmare lingers through her mind.
It’s always the same, night after night. It’s always about
her father and his eventual rule over earth. The only thing that changes is his
strategy. You’d think she would get used to them by now, but that’s far from
the truth. She can do nothing but watch and shake in utter fear as she watches
the life drain from her friends. It’s especially terrifying for her to watch
the gut-wrenching death of-
“Raven?”
Raven flinches and her muscles tense at the quiet voice
sounding from the door. She looks towards her door to find you standing there,
head peeping into the room with the door barely ajar, shedding a strip of light
into the dark room.
“(Y/n)? Wh-What’re you doing here?” Raven asks, the fear
from her previous nightmare still evident in her voice.
“I heard you scream.
Nightmares again?” You ask, the concern clear in your tone.
Raven’s eyes widen slightly at justification. ‘Did she really scream?’ She adverts her
eyes away from you and brings her knees to her chest, hugging them tightly in
comfort.
“I’m fine. I’m okay.” She lies, ashamed of herself for being
caught in such a simple way.
You stare at her small vulnerable form only for a few
seconds before stepping into the room, leaving the door to be forgotten.
“Are you sure? You look pretty shaken up.” You slowly
advance towards the bed, situating yourself on the edge to not frighten her
even more.
“I-I’m okay.” Raven curses herself as her reply comes out
shaky. “I’m sorry I woke you.” She mumbles her apology into her knees, not
having the ability to look at you directly.
“I was awake anyway and I don’t think any of the others woke
up either.” You assure her whilst placing a hand on her shoulder.
Raven only tense further and looks farther away from you in
silent shame.
“Raven?” You call out, quietly adjusting your body in an
attempt to see her face. “Do you want to talk about it? You don’t have to.”
You cautiously reach out and tuck her hair away from her
face and behind her ear, allowing you to catch a glimpse of her face.
Within that glimpse, you see the small twinkle of a tear as
it slowly treks down her cheek.
You gasp and crawl your way in front of Raven, close enough
to reach her but not too close to close to cause her discomfort.
“Raven? What’s wrong?” You ask in a concerned voice.
Raven let’s out a stifled sob and instantaneously covers her
face with her hands. She hates the feeling of her tears slipping down her face
and hates the fact that you are right in front of her, watching her crumble.
So she does the only thing she can think of.
“It’s nothing. I-I’m fine.” Normally when she’s talking to
the others, her lies are better and stronger. But there’s something about you
that eludes her from lying, even when she attempts to, her voice gets shaky and
uncertain, leading her to fall apart even more.
You gently clasp her hands in your and slowly pull them away
from her face.
“Stop telling me
you’re okay. You’re clearly traumatised about something, and I want to help
you.”
The moment her eyes catch yours, she shatters and breaks out
into uncontrollable sobs.
You let her fall into your chest and wrap your arms protectively
around her, allowing her to break down in your comfort as you whisper small
assurances to her, slowly rocking back and forth in a gentle rhythm
You mindfully shift around the bed, slowly bringing the two
of you to lie down on the bed, continuing to caress Raven. You continue to
comfort her as you manage to grab the blankets, wriggling them out from under
you and bringing them up just below you shoulder where Raven snuggles into your
chest.
You then use your free hand to rub up and down her back,
noticing the way her muscles relax under your fingertips.
“Why are you doing this for me?” Raven asks, the evidence of
her previous breakdown still woven in her voice.
“Because I care about
you. You’ve been through a lot already; you don’t deserve to suffer through
this alone. I want to help you through this. I want you to feel like you can
come to me when you’re like this. I want you to feel safe.”
Raven finds it impossible to stop the small smile that
creeps up on her face. She nuzzles further into your chest, a small ‘thank you’
leaving her lips, before slowly succumbing to her exhaustion.
Your own smile brightens at her soft words. You tangle your
hand in her hair, combing through it as you submit to your own tiredness.
Regardless to say, the team made a note to remain quiet,
letting the two of you sleep in the comfort of each other.
It was by accident that you had gotten into a relationship with the two titans.
In fact, you weren’t expecting to add another partner to your relationship, seeing as Raven was a reserved person, and she wasn’t one to share.
However, when you had developed feelings for Robin while maintaining your feelings for her, she was the one to suggest asking if Robin would like to try being in a polyamorous relationship.
In the long run, he had said yes after Raven explained to him the reason for her question
Raven and Robin balanced out the relationship easily.
Robin was hesitant in the beginning, but once he learned of the customs you and Raven had established with each other, it was easy to fit himself in with the two of you. Even he could see that he balanced the relationship very well.
Raven was the quiet and reserved lover, her mysterious aura and feather-light touches always complimenting your nervous and even shy demeanor.
Meanwhile, Robin was the balancing factor, his slightly rambunctious behavior and calculated gestures complimenting both Raven and you.
Please don’t ever ask Robin to cook dinner for the night. He can’t cook to save his life.
It’s a common occurrence for you or Raven to make dinner, or the three of you getting take out.
When you all sleep in the same bed, Robin almost always hogs the blankets. Though, it’s ok, because being sandwiched between Raven and Robin almost always kept you warm.
It’s common for you to be awakened by Raven running her fingers lightly up and down your spine. Nevertheless, it’s common for you to be put to sleep that way as well.
Raven really enjoys meditating with you, and Robin usually comes to chill as well, as long as he stays quiet.
Raven wouldn’t admit it, but she really enjoys being with you and Robin. It makes her feel good that she could bring two amazing people together while getting some of the love from both of you. Double the love, double the reward.
Raven and you will almost always play pranks on Robin with her magic. A whoopee cushion mysteriously appears on a seat right as he sits down, water gets dunked onto him when he walks through a doorway, icy-hot in his underwear (you almost got in trouble for that one, but luckily you were able to…persuade Robin from punishing you for that)
Robin is almost always quick to get back at you two. He’s poured hair dye in your shampoo, turning your hair a bright pink one time. He’s changed out Raven’s books of magic for dictionaries without her noticing. Robin has even put a remote-control spider in the room once, scaring you to death.
Raven, Robin, and you interchange the role of who gets to pick where to go for date night. Raven created a pattern of picking quiet, chill places to have a date while Robin goes for the more expensive route and going to fancy places. You usually chose to stay in at the tower, unless you were feeling up to going out to a quiet place or to a fancy restaurant.
Since you were just an honorary titan that chose to work behind the scenes on the screens, it puts Robin and Raven at ease while on missions knowing that you are safe. However, they don’t like leaving you behind that much because they know that you would like to be on the field sometimes.
It’s easy to say that the relationship is steady, understanding, and full of laughter and love. You three make sure that the others are feeling loved and safe, and it makes for a great atmosphere.
pretty sure y’all are gonna get married or something lmao just don’t let beast boy be the ring bearer because no beast boy you can’t shapeshift into an actual bear ffs
This is a cute amnesia fic. It was supposed to be for both Beast Boy and Raven, but it turned into more of a Raven thing.
“Azarath Metrion Zinthos.” The usually monotone words filled your ears, this time rage surrounded the chant. You didn’t know why, but you knew it was wrong. Footsteps followed, and suddenly you were being shaken lightly.
You were in pain, but you didn’t know why, you stomach hurt, it felt warm and sticky. Your head ponded so much everything kept going in and out of focus.
You opened your eyes to see a girl with grey skin and purple hair peering down at you. She looked worried, and you wanted to tell her you were okay, but you forgot why you wanted to tell her that. She screamed something, but your vision and hearing faded out, leaving you in a dark expanses of blackness.
Raven denying her feelings for you because she’s afraid
One time after a long mission you were resting outside, admiring the sunset when without a word you gave her a rose
She was really surprised but quickly realized how wrong she was and kissed you
Reading books to each other (Shakespeare’s and Poe’s are her favourite)
Horror Movie Nights!
Playing chess in your free time (you won only once but you enjoy it anyway)
Going for pizza each Friday with her and your friends
Drinking tea on cold days
Smell of storm
You being the only person who can be in her bedroom
Always reminding her that controlling emotions doesn’t mean not having them
Helping her with her problems
Going to your favorite cafe on rainy days and just talking
Making a surprise trip for her to visit the most spooky places in the world
Loving her laughter
Looking across the room at each other when you feel anxious
Her making a special party for you on your birthday
Making her go trick or treating every Halloween (she always says that you’re too old for this but enjoys it anyway)
Picnics on the rooftop
Raven teaching you other languages (mostly Azaranian)
Her often resting her forehead against yours before kissing you softly
Always hugging her when she’s sleeping
Raven stroking your hair when you’re asleep
Her covering both of you with her cape when you’re cold
Buying matching (personalized) rings to remind you of each other
Humming some melodies to help her go back to sleep after a nightmare
A/N: I wasn’t sure if the request was about Raven from comics or Raven from Teen Titans, so I watched some Teen Titans episodes (and movies) and based this on it. I tried not to include any things straightly connected with Teen Titans so it could be easier to also apply it to Raven from the comics. I hope you’ll like it! Enjoy!
It was rare that you and Raven got time alone. With a rare day to yourselves, you two decided to… take advantage of it.
While Raven wasn’t big on physical contact, even she enjoys it when she goes long enough without it. The way her hands were running through your hair- her teeth on your neck- were really showing how touch-starved she is, at the moment.
Her cloak at been discarded, and her leotard was on its’ way to being pulled off, when an alarm sounded. The two of you screeched, her magic knocking you to the ground from the shock.
After making sure you were okay, the two of you hurried to the main room of the tower. Raven was in the middle of fastening her cloak, while you were repositioning your shirt.
“What’s the emergency,” Raven asked, looking up at the other Titans. Robin was about to speak, but Cyborg began CACKLING. When you and Raven looked at each other, you realized why.
Your lipstick was smeared on her mouth, your hair was a mess- as was her’s-, and her cloak was hanging on by a thread. Your neck was red, and had dark lipstick marks in various spots. You felt your face flush, and Raven pulled her hood down over her eyes in embarrassment.
Starfire gushed about how cute you two were together, while Beastboy angrily gave Cyborg about forty dollars. Robin sighed, shaking his head, but he couldn’t hide the teasing grin on his face.
“It was a false alarm. You two can go back to your… activities,” Robin snickered. You huffed, angrily taking Raven’s hand and marching back to her room.
The other Titans didn’t see you two until dinner time.
