Triumverate
They were an odd arrangement, they really were. A half-demon empath, an angst-ridden human, and the half-clone of an alien; no one quite knew what to make of them. All with black hair, all with eyes of blue (though the hues varied), all with parental issues.
"You're thinking loudly, Timothy." Raven laughed, picking at Tim's hair with slender fingers, his head in her lap. "What is troubling you, my little human?"
"Nothing..." He smiled up at her sleepily. "Just... thinking..."
Connor snorted. "Great, and we all know where that gets us..." Tim could see him smirk by the light of the Teeny Titans video game that he was playing. "So what is it this time- my little sisters, our relationship, or the fact that your new adopted dad is engaged to our girlfriend's mom?"
Tim groaned, sitting up. "Don't even get me started on your sisters... Kara is a royal menace and Samara just watches everything with this calculating glare..." He shuddered. "I don't even know who to be more scared of!"
Raven laughed softly. "Samara can be disarmed by showing her a picture of a certain Amazon- nothing can stop Kara." Connor paused the game before turning to them.
"Don't let him dodge the question, Rave- he's not getting out of this." The half-alien walked over to them, smirk fully on his handsome face. "It's about us, isn't it? He's probably having one of those 'montage moments', like how in the movies the hero thinks back on how everything went to shit but then came out awesome. Thinking about how for me and him with started with a game of spin-the-bottle, how with you and me it started out with you showing me my soul, and how for you and him it started with Poison Ivy's sex pollen and him respecting you enough to not try to have sex with you after you said no once."
Tim laughed. "You read me so well, big guy." Raven pulled Tim into her arms slowly. "You two are an emotional rollercoaster though, I hope you know that."
"We know." Raven beamed, kissing his cheek. "But you need that as much as I need stability and as much as Connor needs to be touched."
A blur of gold passed by them then stopped. "Hey guys! Rose and Cassie and Kori wanted me to tell Raven that they're all going to go shopping!" Bart blurted out. "Does she want to go or are they okay to leave?"
"They can go..." The empath replied. "I'm okay here..."
The speedster left them in a blur.
"Speaking of girls..." Segwayed Connor. "As frightening as my baby sisters are, they're really cute." He beamed with pride.
"I concur." Tim nodded. "And no, we can't have one."
Raven giggled. "I have to agree with Timothy on that one- no babies for us..."
Connor pouted slightly. "Fine... but I require cuddles as recompensense for my crushed dreams."
"That can be arranged." Tim and Raven said in sync as they hugged him, smoke swirling around them as Raven teleported them to her room.
The night was spent cuddling, and all was well.
