Chapter 1: Celebrating an Special Moment
Chapter Text
It was December, the temperature low, snow falling from the sky, the time finally came where childrens and every families or even friends would celebrate together in such an special last month of the year. Too much stuff happened, which it means even the heroes of course needs some moment of peace to celebrate Christmas, even their Titans Tower were fully decorated with lights, decorated tree and socks.
Meanwhile with Starfire, she was looking through the window amazed by the cities illuminated by colorful lights, curious but enchanted with those emerald eyes shining.
—this is so beautiful… — she said with an smile.
—you are right, because Christmas is coming soon! — Beast Boy said with enthusiasm wearing warm clothes.
The word Christmas would make the Tamarean curiós as she raised an eyebrow.
—i’m sorry but, what is an Christmas? — questioned Kory.
—Christmas came from an very religious era when God was born at December 25… — Raven replied.
—and whenever we celebrate Christmas, it means we celebrate the birth of God from our planet with food and gifts. — Robin appeared in Star’s side.
—this planet has such special things… but wait, so it means we all have to offer gifts for each other when it is day 25 from this month? — she asked more curious about this celebration in earth like she never saw in Tamaran.
—exactly girl, and Santa Claus will be taking care of our gifts haha! — Beast Boy said.
—your lack of brain still makes you believe that Santa exists… grow up. — after Rachel's response being so unpleasant, he looks not amused for hearing her ruin the fun.
—and before the day 25 we prepare all the food to eat together, which it means i will be pretty responsible for the table! — Cyborg licks the lips only by talking about food.
But Beast Boy frowned his eyebrows only by hearing that Victor will prepare the food in the table.
—i just hope there will be vegan food too… — grumbled suspiciously.
—nuh-uh, the table is my own responsability and i choose the food i want to! — replied Cyborg scoffing.
—hello?? Are you crazy?! How many times i have to say there’s an vegan in this group!? — replied annoyed.
—not again… — Rachel mumbled looking away.
Robin facepalm in shame for seeing both acting too childish over food choices, but he was hoping that everything will be fine soon if they agree at helping with the table.
Until Koriand'r had an brilliant idea that would make her smile.
—friends! What if i call the rest of Titans to celebrate with us all? — asked excited.
—uhhhh… look Star, but i don't know if-
The demon girl got interrupted by Beast Boy who appeared behind at Starfire with an exaggerated smile as his eyes were shining.
—now you had spoke my language, that's it, we’re going to call them!
—come on Raven, as an Team we should call the rest to celebrate, it won't be that bad. — Robin replied.
[After weeks passed]
Every Titans were called from the comunicator announcing the Christmas party will happen at Dick’s Tower, everyone was well dressed with different ways of fashion, but still not having the glamour being taken away. Starfire was wearing an pink dress without any sleeves since she's pretty resistent of any weathers, black fingerless gloves and white boots with pink lipstick.
Beast Boy was wearing an classic green sweater of an Santa Claus image there with ripped jeans pants and especially red all star tennis, Raven was wearing an black and white stripped sweater with an skull imagem on the chest, purple pants and black leather boots.
Cyborg was wearing an blue hoodie with an grey sweater under, black jeans and nothing more, but still satisfied.
And finally Robin was wearing and black sweater with Bat symbol there and the red pants, while the shoes were just black tennis.
Everyone was ready to receive the rest of Titans to spend their whole Christmas inside of the Tower, as they would hear something behind the doors.
—let me check. — Robin said walking to the door.
As the door opened he would depare with Speedy holding an plate of raw turkey still not prepared.
—i just have bought this for you. — he stretched the hands showing the food.
—woah, thank you very much, i will prepare this soon till we start to eat! — Robin would smile.
—and i already said that you look charming tonight? — Speedy smiled for her.
—oh, thank you i guess, haha! — He chuckles.
But the way Roy would stare at the red headed alien just would make Robin even more grumbled, he lowkey felt uncomfortable after getting misunderstood as the same let out nervous giggles.
Donna would turn away moving her head upside while crossing the arms.
—relax, i was just complimenting your girlfriend cause isn't even a big deal.
Beast Boy gasped excited seeing all the Titans dressed very well made for cold times, even the girls were wearing something more warm because they aren't the same resistance as Starfire, but at least everyone was able to come soon as possible during the snowy period.
—guys! Finally y’all came, please, feel free to enter and have all the comfort inside of our tower! — Garfield said with an big smile.
—and we have brought gifts for each other to open until it’s day 25! — Kid Flash appeared running showing some gift packages in the arms.
—for someone who still believes in Santa at least it’s an way to shove in your face… — Raven replied crossing the arms.
The green mutated teenager made an grumpy face in response.
After everyone would enter with Thunder and Lighting flying through the clouds in the air, Bumblebee went from small size to an normal one with her jacket in the same style as an actual bee.
—aren’t you feeling cold? — Jinx asked for Wally.
—of course not, because i’m always running so the coldness is the last thing i could feel heh, anyways where’s the food? — he would look around trying to find something to eat.
Jinx just facepalms.
—ugh… you're so abused. — the pink haired replied.
As Starfire and Robin were talking to each other, the leader couldn't take his eyes away from her outfit, as much it’s what she uses due to resistance to temperatures and doesn't get sick like humans, but dear God his cheeks were pink seeing how that pink color really suits the alien girlfriend very well.
But their conversation were interrupted when one more person appeared.
—hello everyone, and Robin i hope you don't mind seeing me again! — it was Batgirl acting more sassy.
The entire Titans were looking at her unexpected by Batgirl’s appearing.
Chapter 2: Reunion
Summary:
After what happened from the visit of Barbara Richard felt skeptical, but some things change even if being in an unexpected way to imagine.
Notes:
Hello Again my fellas here Reading another chapter of my TT Christmas special novel, i was just feeling a bit tired to write but i promise to put more things and especially more Titans characters in Future chapters, about the beefs of Robin with Barbara only for those who have readed "i love you, but you love her more" that IS another fic of mine will understand what happened XP
Chapter Text
Richard’s face become serious again and also Kory’s frowning the eyebrows, remembering what she has done to Robin even if she knew that the leader is with another girl.
—Barbara, what are you doing here? And who did invited you?! — Robin growled while questioning.
—don’t worry Dick, and what such nice friends you have joined in this tower… and if you want to know, i just brought an friend of mine as well to spend some time here, at least she will be very interacting with people here!
An blonde girl with an red cape appeared.
—hey guys, i am Supergirl Kara Zor-el, cousin of Superman! — she gave an chill smile.
—wait, Superman's cousin?? — Starfire questioned.
—indeed, but unfortunately me and him barely talk each other since he’s more busy and also me solving crimes with Babs…
Starfire gasped with eyes shining amazed to encounter another extraterrestrial hero.
—X’hal, Nice to meet you! I am Starfire, and i want to meet all of our friends! — she would smile completely excited pulling her and grabbing Kara’s hands.
—sorry for that, Starfire is just very interactive with everyone… — Dick scratched his own head.
—nah… i’ll let it pass hehe! — Kara doesn't seems to mind at all.
And they kept living the night, with Kid Flash coming with an package of chips and sandwich at least to fill his stomach for the time he has spend buying the gift and coming at the tower, Cyborg and Mas y Menos were looking at the screen with eyes fixated to the game, Victor’s jaw dropped after getting defeated by the fast twins who were celebrating for their own victory as Starfire and Supergirl were having an typical conversation between two aliens about their planets and family.
—damn… — Victor mumbled disappointed.
—muy bien hermano! — Menos said.
—gracias hermano Menos! — Mas replied with an smile.
Some more Titans were putting the gifts under an tree, because of amount of number from the people around most of the gifts were staying outside from the tree, but at least everyone seems excited for tomorrow to see what they have got, especially Beast Boy who was smiling like an child looking for all those gifts.
Until he had an brilliant idea to take an small look since nobody is around the tree putting gifts, Garfield slowly walked down to the gifts and saw his own name there.
But got pulled away by an strong energy, he raised an nervous smile seeing Raven infuriated.
—hehehe whoops… — he said awkwarded.
—don’t open until it’s tomorrow! — after saying this she put Beast Boy down and walks away.
Jericho was playing his classic guitar for the people around like Aqualad, Herald, Pantha and including Kole who was smiling and couldn't stop staring at the boy with the angelic sound of his guitar.
—you okay? — Pantha asked to her.
Kole was so distraught that she blushes for the fact she was spending more seconds looking at the blonde boy.
—oh, i am don't worry hahahaha! — she forced laughs.
In the moment where the girls would keep getting focused on Jericho’s sound again the boy noticed what’s going on and stared at miss Weathers giving an kind smile, what caught her off guard making the pink haired girl stay out of words as Pantha had an smug looking seeing her being so shy.
—what such little doves~ — Pantha said as she crossed the arms Reading Kole.
—h-hey! He isn't my boyfriend! — she frowned her eyebrows completely flustered.
But in the moment where Aqualad would stare at the boy his body got possessed by Jericho, who’s now looking at Kole smiling that made her gasp.
—it’s okay Kole, but maybe later me and you.
He left Garth’s body while Pantha and Herald seemed supportive after that possibly confession, Kole felt a bit confused in what he meant about “later” but seemed happy for not being rejected after all.
Herald just leave and walked towards Karen who was flying around, but stopped when she saw him and she changed the size back to the normal.
—are you enjoying? — she asked.
—yes, i just felt like an family member here… — she looked at everyone — what do you think about we hang out outside? If you ever decide where we should go.
Bumblebee held his hand with an softened smile.
—i will go whenever the wind pushes us. — Karen let out giggles.
Herald after smiling back and blus—ihing softly blowed the trumpet opening another dimension, everyone would notice them about to leave until he announced that him and the bee were about to go outside a little in particular as they agreed and kept moving on.
In the streets of Jump City, Herald still covered with the blue hoodie jacket and Bumblebee with that stripped sweater like an bee style he noticed the girl still being cold, as Mal took off his own scarf to put in her neck so the girl can stop shivering.
—you can keep with you to keep yourself warm. — he said in a smooth way.
She said nothing, but only have an smile mentally being thankful for his kindness as Karen would walk with him holding Mal's arm appreciating the snowy falling from the sky of this glorious night.
—it must be so stressful being an leader with these guys… — he was refering to Bumblebee.
—yeah, especially Speedy who is an complete dork… — she buffed while rolling the eyes.
—you are funny. — Mal chuckles.
As they were walking the couple would stop in front of an small market where they would stare an each other until finally agreeing to enter and but something.
Both would buy sodas and some sweeties like gummies, after paying they would stay outside until Karen was holding one gummy in his mouth in the moment where Herald yawned what made him get totally caught off guard.
Bumblebee would giggle for this funny scene, he eats and allowed her to give more, feeling completely comfortable around this situation of her.
Meanwhile inside of the T Tower, Starfire came with two plates full of gingerbread cookies along with Jinx who was holding another plate as well, all painted with beautiful christmas painting and even painted like some members of Titans but still being all adorable.
—happiness my dearest friends, cookies for everyone for this special night! — Kory would float around offering the plate for them.
—booyah, let me pick one! — Victor Said stretching the hand picking one of Christmas tree.
—thanks Starfire! — Robin said picking one made of Starfire.
After some of them would pick the cookies they were feeling the delicious taste that Jinx and Starfire had from this work, even Kid Flash came at the pink haired girl and embrace.
—for someone who's an bad luck magic user, i must say that you are my luck~ — he was flirting.
—hmph, you're so abused! — she crossed the arms pretending to be not enjoying, but Jinx caressed his chin letting the red head’s cheeks even more pink.
—ugh... The PDA just makes me nauseous. — Bushido mumbled moving the face away uncomfortable.
—we have prepared those cookies with happiness and care, so I'm going to pick one as well! — Kory Said with an big yet excited smile picking one gingerbread cookies of Robin design.
But what caught some people’s attention, including Dick and Jinx is for the fact the Tamarean was holding moustard to taste the gingerbread cookies along with the same yellow liquid.
—Starfire… — Richard said feeling weirded.
—girl, why the hell are you putting an moustard there?! — Supergirl said with eyes widened in shock.
—did i forgot to tell y’all how much i love that yellow thing?? It’s glorious! — she took one bite after putting in that cookie.
Donna and Dick were out of words because it’s an mixture that indeed wouldn't match at all, but even if that taste for Moustard is unknown the girl seems to enjoy.
—yo, ur girlfriend is a little weirdo. — Lighting said to Robin.
But got startled seeing the leader growl.
—just leave her have fun ok?? — Robin said.
Seconds later, both Supergirl and Batgirl were on the couch sitting together drinking some hot chocolates and throwing the heads to the air in relief and comfort for receiving warmth, Barbara had her face completely exposed but only wearing an black hoodie with purple bat symbol there as the pants were also black, and talking about some idiot things about their lives and at the same time the most fun ones about each other.
Kara was equally beautiful with the blue sweater having red stripes as well and the long white skirt, in the vision of miss Gordon.
—it’s crazy to meet the Titans for the first time, thanks to you! — Supergirl said.
—me and Robin we had such an good story together to tell, and after good years away at least i was able to find him Again thanks to my Tracker haha! — Barbara moved the legs up in joy and enthusiasm.
—you know Barbara, you are… my awesome best friend, you know that? — Kara said smiling after taking one sip of the drink.
—thank you Kara, i must say the same thing about you too… i guess. — she started back.
But until she got surprised by an sudden kiss in the cheek by the kryptonian, that made her blush a lot.
—and i think that you are very cute when you are sooo embarassed!~ — Kara scoffed in a flirting way.
The girls noticed Dick staring at both who was smiling like crazy, God, things couldn't be more words than getting observed by your own friends while getting kissed by an “best friend” as Barbara of course got pissed.
—and what are you looking little bird?! — she said infuriated due to the embarassment.
—i can see the lovely doves there~
—you will pay for this Richard Grayson! — she stood up even more awkwarded for getting teased, but got pulled by Kara who seems to have Fun in this moment.
—you aren't going to anywhere, little bat… — Kara would carry the red haired girl.
Robin didn't knew that Barbara is dating another person that is a girl, he may not know how long they have been interacting with each other during missions or something since he started getting his independente away from Batman and Gotham in general, but as long his ex-girlfriend is happy with that alien girl at least he will be equally happy.
Chapter 3: Together and Never Alone
Summary:
Titans alone but always with their companies as partners, or more than just partners in the night of holidays.
Notes:
It's already Christmas eve and i wanted to make this chapter more showing the couples, and since i decides the chapter 4 is the last of this fanfic i will put more things if i finish soon! XD~
About Beast Boy and Raven's relationship, i really enjoy them in a romantic way, but in this fic they aren't a couple for now because i see their dynamic more as a slowburn due to their maturity and development about growing up together and understanding each other, it doesn't mean they can show lowkey feelings for each other without still being in a relationship so that's it.
Chapter Text
—stop kids, i already told y'all that I'm not a toy! — Beast Boy whines for being pushed by three kids on the ground.
—please turn into a horse, please, please! — Melvin was begging so bad.
—turn into a horse now, come you you slowpoke! — Timmy grumbled without patience.
—Raven, save me… — dramatically he raised his hand and whimpers.
—not gonna happen, now you are feeling what i have been through with these brats. — she said in a monotone way while reading a book.
Beast Boy buffed as if he already lose an battle and turned into a horse, making the childrens even more happier for submission him into this humilliation.
—yippieeee! — Melvin jumped at him carrying the baby as well.
—now ride! — Timmy would speak like an actual spoiled child.
With Jericho, he was looking at the window lost in thoughts with an straightened face, as if something that was digged from the past would disturbing him in a such festive day where everyone was supposed to have fun and laugh together as if they were family. Gettibg haunted by the past while standing in front of the door with laughs and talks echoing in the background, as imagens of his father Slade would make the boy concentrated causing deep fear.
“Jericho…?”
The boy still haven't answered one single word.
“Jericho”
“Jericho!”
Joseph gasped after having his attention taken away after realizing it was just Kole calling for him but the way wasn't playing attention and the fact he was only standing in front of an snowy scenario of the window would make her feel worried, as the girl put an hand in his shoulder bringing Jericho some comfort and safety with the past getting left behind again.
—is everything okay? — she asked gently.
He nods with an small smile pretending that everything was fine.
—that’s great… — and then she looked away with an shy smile with red cheeks — well, would you… would you hang out with me to spend that Christmas together?
This question came out of nowhere as Jericho blinks and gulped, but suddenly would feel butterflies in his own stomach when the same girl would hold his hands, the lowkey deep breathing getting out from his nose only by seeing Kole’s innocent smile.
—that’s right, i’m going to wait you! — she walked away happily.
While the blonde boy’s eyes were focused in Kole walking away, Garfield appeared walking slowly with the body down for the time spend he had to be an horse to play with the mini heroes and growling from pain, but then noticed Jericho and had an idea as the smile would grow.
—someone has a girlfrieeend!~ — Beast Boy hums teasing him.
This just would make Joseph even more embarassed as his face was even more redder along with the eyebrows frowned and teeths grinding, the metamorph boy would have fun seeing his expression having more reason to giggle.
Starfire would feel completely enchanted by the amount of snow falling slowly outside, without even controlling her smile, but since she saw Jericho entering in the body of Hot Spot announcing they are also going outside this just brought an brilliant idea.
—my dearest friends, what do y’all think of us spend half of the time outside to have fun and admire the cold beauty of this earth?? — asked with excitement.
—it would be great, but are you sure about it? — Robin came questioning.
—please boyfriend Robin, i just want to spend this cold ending of the year with you too, and i’ll make sure that you won't regret! — Kory’s eyes were shining.
—i guess i want too, because me and bobby we can't wait to make some snowman! — Melvin said.
—at least i hope you kids will make sure to be warm enough to not get sick… — Rachel said showing concern.
—since when you became a mom? — Speedy was being ironic while smirking.
Troia just giggles.
—meanwhile the lost lovebirds are going to spend their times alone at least i have my bro Thunder, right big bro? — asked Lighting.
—this feels like we were kids once again haha! — Thunder replied.
—alright, alright, I'm going to pick my jacket… — Robin goes to pick.
—at least until it’s time for us all eat we will have lots of time… — Kid Flash said.
[Jump City - 22:58]
Everyone arrived to the streets of the city, Beast Boy came flying in the form of an bird while Raven teleported herself through an portal dragging some other Titans like Bushido, Hot Spot and even Speedy, Aqualad for swimming ended feeling completely freezer due to the temperature of the sea, but the rest seems all fine getting aparted so they can go with some other couples.
Meanwhile with the brothers Thunder and Lighting, the blue brother was flying around slowly while humming an random song, but got caught off guard with Lighting throwing an snowball.
He was laughing as he kept forming more snowballs.
—will you face it? — said with an sarcastic and childish smile while throwing the snowball on the air.
For a moment Thunder’s expression was all serious, until slowly he opened an smile as well and picked the snow on the ground forming an ball, quickly it ended hitting Lighting in the face making him groan, making the older brother feel worried.
—brother? — asked Thunder.
—think faster you fool! — Lighting throws back.
He was took off guard once again, but seeing that nothing fatal happened the two brothers kept having an snowball fight mixed with laughs and running together while throwing the balls around, as if they were really childrens, but at least in a joyful way.
With the three childrens, they were building a snowman with the help of bobby carrying all the stuff needed such as carrot and woods, Raven was sitting on a bench keeping an eye of them in case of something happen with the childrens even if bobby was around to serve as an protector created by Melvin. But seeing Beast Boy all alone on a bench without even daring at play with them or act all goofy instead of looking at them seeing lifeless or reflective for sure made her curious and kinda worried, because it doesn't make his type for someone who likes fun especially in a such festive day where everyone was supposed to spend their night with friends and family, the family that Raven had to rebuilt.
—Beast Boy, what’s wrong? It’s not your type to be so quiet… — questioned Rachel.
—oh?? Hehehe nothing happened Rae. — he forced an smile.
But she wasn't convinced, quickly unmasking the boy, Garfield noticed that he has been caught and sighs looking down.
—it’s Terra… imagining how things could’ve been if she never would leave us and even…myself.
—still thinking about her? I thought you already had superated that girl since you met her for the past time at school, you shouldn't be always trapped in the past forever. — she speaked in a very serious way and isn't using any forms of sarcasm.
—i know, but you know Rae… sometimes i just want to keep moving on, but at the other side i just wanted Terra here and see how much she still has an value as a hero, even if she has no longer connection with us…
—Beast Boy, just accept that everything has an ending, but there’s always an way to rebuilt just like i had to do all by myself. — she would think about her own father.
He slowly moved his head up in front of the empathizer and opening an smile, but then turning back to the childrens playing on the snow.
—i guess you are right, we all need to grow up and moving on by facing the actual reality we’re living now.
Raven proudly would look at him, as now she would walk in front of the kids and bobby all covered by the winter cape.
—what are you waiting? Come play with us. — Raven said.
His ears perked up in disbelief with eyes widened for seeing someone too close in her own bubbles calling to play.
—strange, you barely ask to play…
—well, why wouldn't i spend that last year with my friends? — Raven smirked calmly.
—come on, we can't do it without you! — Timmy said with excitement.
—and what are we waiting?? Let’s go kids, we’re going to drown ourselves in that snow! — Garfield chuckles while running to join the fun.
Changing the scenario with Kole and Jericho inside of an shop filled with festive toys and objects including toys, the girl just couldn't stop appreciating the scenario with blue eyes completely fixated in the objects while holding his hand.
The blonde teenager kept looking with an straightened face, as if something in his head already got unlocked demonstrating he has been in his worst phase when Joseph used to live with Slade, an mixture of anger and nostalgia when he was just an child.
[Flashback on]
“Joseph, Santa brought something for you…”
“And what’s that?”
The past Joseph walked at the man with an big and innocent smile.
“Here”
“An robot with remote Control? That's so cool!”
The boy was jumping in joy, as Slade laid down resting an hand in his back seeing his son being so full of joy that he got from “Santa” when in reality it was bought by the man, the sweet and innocent nostalgia that Jericho is remembering unfortunately wouldn't take forever until coming the day where he realizes the true face of his own father.
[Flashback off]
—Jericho you’re acting all weird, doesn't it seems fun for you? — Kole asked feeling upset.
He noticed her expression and felt guilt, all this addiction to his terrible past was only ruining his day and Kole as well when he was supposed to get distracted away from any problems with the most kind girl, Jericho sighs and looks away in shame.
—Joseph, whatever you are thinking about, you should forget about everything you had to deal and keep spending that night… so please, let’s do it together! — she would speak while holding both of Joseph’s hands.
His heart would beat in a fast frequence as the pinks got redder, Kole was just so cute for his eyes as maybe she was right, they should keep moving on from everything no matter how things can be stressing and exhausting to deal, even if Jericho is so afraid to tell about his ties about Slade with the fear of getting kicked from Titans at least he can carry this lesson for the rest of his life.
[Outside of the shop]
—hahaha so what should we do now? — questioned Kole — but… you haven’t buyed anything for you-
The mute boy was showing an pretty globe of snow for her, smiling in a kind way wanting to offer the object as a gift for the young Weathers.
—is this… for me? — Kole mumbled with eyes shining.
Jericho nods, so without answering nothing for a moment she picked the charming object with the two hands with an big smile, both looking at each other making their ties become even more comforting and trustful until Kole surprised him with an kiss in the cheek making the boy flustered a lot.
—you’re so sweet! — she said.
He can’t help, but Joseph feels so alive after that since he’s very valued by Kole and he valued the girl equally after moments spend together in battles or in personal situations of comfort.
—come on, where are you Donna?! — Speedy was trying to communicate with her, but no success.
Roy could sense that nothing is going well as if she could be in danger, but changed his mind when he saw the girl walking all alone in the streets of Jump City, completely relieved by her sight as Roy came running.
—Donna, thank God you are… Donna?
He would see the girl showing no enthusiasm after seeing Speedy, but instead Troia remained cold wrapping herself with the arms crossed, as if she was upset by him.
—oh yeah, equally… — she walks away.
—Donna wait! — Roy follows — i don't understand, what’s going on?? I wish you could tell and i could help…
She stopped walking and then shows an mortal look which made Roy get chills inside.
—i guess you should have been invited Starfire, if she would make her happy…
—huh? — he raised an eyebrow — Donna i didn't know what are you saying, but this is ridiculous!
—so it is ridiculous for you wanting to have intimacy at her, without stop looking at her and then compliment when you even knew that she is dating Robin!? You fool! — she raised her voice infuriated.
He finally got what she was saying, when Robin would look at him as if Roy should be impaled alive when he already stopped showing romantic feelings for her in respect of his rival, so he thought it was better to find another girl someday.
—look, what are you saying about me isn't me anymore, and i don't want anything from Star anymore because she’s more interested in that bird guy and i bet she would want me… — he sighs trying to open an smile with the intention of calm down the situation.
Donna remained quiet without trusting him at all.
—Troia… are you jealous of me? — he realized that she may be jealous.
Wonder Girl’s cheeks gets all pinky and the eyebrows were frowned as she walked away trying to pretend she’s not.
—you can’t keep running away from me, i just want to talk with you! — Roy said doing the impossible to be patient.
Girls sometimes can be so emotional that neither Roy couldn't understand at times, but he doesn't give up and walks along with her trying to explore her true feelings slowly, the snow falling and Roy’s warm breathing getting covered behind that red scarf due to lowest temperature.
—i just wanted you to know that you were… just like an mother for me, not as a figure i mean, but mostly because we have an great respect for each other and the equal loyalty, and i really admire your strength as i want to apologize if i hurt you, for being an total jerk for not being aware about your feelings because... i kinda have been feeling the same, you are just strong as an Goddess!
Troia got silent after that which made Roy Harper get awkwarded by himself for calling her as an Goddess, what an idiot you are, thinks for himself. Maybe he could understand Robin from the similar situation with Starfire, until he noticed the girl taking slow steps in his front.
—you have an point, and i guess i will take this as a compliment… — she mumbled with an smile.
—i say no lies girl. — he was about to walk away with her in the next streets with full of lights, until Speedy was pulled in the arm by her — what the-
—missing something? — Wonder Girl pointed to an mistletoe under an tree.
Speedy gulped completely embarassed not expecting to see an mistletoe out of nowhere, but at least if there's no one around it would be less embarassing than in public, Troia giggles pointing the crystal eyes enticing him.
But he knows it can be his chance to know that Troia had more valued in his heart than Starfire, as the red head moved the hands in her waist as she rest her hands into Speedy’s shoulders.
—hope you can consider it as an response… — he said breathing heavily from feeling so nervous.
—anything.
They closed with golden key nothing more than a slow kiss, too many feelings fluing inside of Speedy after feeling her lips, more like an type of freedom and relief and especially for making Donna feel equally free by intrusive thoughts thinking this moment will never happen.
Speedy never admited as much he was letting suspicious thoughts about Wonder Girl for the rest like Aqualad and Bumblebee, but now everything about them is official being able to show at each other, those sweet lips getting pressed by him it’s all what she needed to feel from this different world since Troia joined the Titans.
After breaking the kiss he would caress her cheek making Troia look at him with an very adorable face, without breaking the eye contact together while the free hands were getting held together as well, she feels so happy to have her feelings valued and totally reciprocated.
Chapter 4: Future Waits
Summary:
The Future is near with new challenges and battle skills to become more strong and evolve, but always celebrating the life where they are grateful at still being existed to know the value of this world and friends around.

Chapter Text
Robin was all silent looking at his own comunicator thinking about everything he had to deal past months, especially when they had to fight against bushogun as his head also got involved of her, Starfire who almost ruined his relationship from the toxicity of Batman thinking being an hero had more valued than anything. God, how dare an leader be so selfish and immature to think that and forgetting there are such good things around this world? Starfire never was able to understand the real concept of Christmas celebration like people from this earth are so used to celebrate in the final of the month, so not only Robin but also Starfire could feel how earth can have amazing things no matter how things can be difficult, as long they have each other as friends.
Or better saying, more than just friends or heroes, he glanced at the alien and got surprised seeing how she’s still hypnotized by the colorful flashing lights around the trees covered by snow as in the middle would reveal beautiful statues of singing angels, while the right side would show an statue of Jesus being born, Starfire never saw something too attractive in a glamorous way no matter how religious events actually works in this planet. But seeing his girl being so joyful made him equally safe, she had the most adorable expression like an innocent child that made him have an slight blush in those ocean eyes reflected by the lights.
—they are so beautiful, don't you agreed boyfriend Robin?? — Kory asked without even stop looking at the colorful lights changing the frequence.
—i agree with you… — he had his hands inside of the pockets in the jeans.
—Robin, all i wanted to say thank you for collaborating at celebrating with our friends together, i don't know how to retribute for you after everything you had done for me… — she glanced at his blue eyes without containing an smile.
He was caught after that, as Richard would get flustered especially looking at the girlfriend’s expression that made the hero gulp nervously, but he couldn't resist to the purity of that alien.
—no… i am the one who should do something to be thankful for everything, and to have you, you were the one to show me there are more important things to be than only heroes, life is short so this wasn't life depending in one option so thank you very much for taughting me! — He held Kory’s hand.
—Dick… — she was feeling so emotional right now.
—nothing can apart us, i swear!
This moment resulted in a hug, Starfire filled with joy would tear up, Robin saw it and decided to clear the tear falling and replace with an soft kiss in the cheek as the alien teenager giggles getting so flustered. She looked so adorable for an alien who has high resistance from any temperatures still wearing an dress revealing her legs and arms, it doesn't matter, still looking equally beautiful.
Dick Grayson would look at those shiny emerald eyes while caressing her cheeks in a delicate way and sighs, completely lost in Kory.
—so, where you want to go right now? — questioned patiently.
—oh! I had an brilliant idea, follow me! — Starfire grabbed the boy in the arm while giggling excited.
—hey! — He giggles in response by getting dragged.
He would get dragged by Koriand'r to an hot chocolate restaurant that isn't so far as she was pointing in the same area, but Richard also thinks isn't an bad idea to get stuck inside while drinking something hot to keep his body inside warm, and even an perfect place as they entered through the doors to play for the drinks. After successfully keeping the money on the table the woman kindly allowed for the couple pick a seat, Robin and Starfire were searching for an place to stay and saw an place next to the window as at least both could appreciate the beautiful night with glowing stars and the snow falling.
The Tamarean sat there in front of the window as after seconds later the hot chocolates were finally on their tables, Starfire would rest her head in the leader’s shoulder with eyes fixated on the stars from the dark sky and the coldness around involved with lights around the streets, Robin couldn't contain himself and gently caressed the top of her head as if she was an little kitten.
—it’s delicious, it was a good idea starlight! — Robin groans satisfied.
—haha no problem — she looked at the drink thinking — i wonder how are the others going.
[With Argent and Hot Spot]
—okay being literal hot has an good side! — Toni scoffed while getting held by him as they were sitting on the ground from the top of a building looking at the illuminated cities and far from Gotham.
—you have an point, but at least i can use it to save you, especially for someone who lives in a such very cold place ha… — Isaiah replied as he looked at the sky.
—honestly, the idea of being outside for a while wasn't a bad idea at all, at least we could have less boredom exploring this world in a festive night. — Argent chuckles.
—i was thinking about one thing, i never expect to see humans so creative with celebrations in the last year, even if I'm actually an half-alien…
The girl with black and red colors pouted for a second thinking what she should do now, until she stood up and picked some snow on the ground, Isaiah noticed this and realized what she’s wanting as Isaiah raised an smug expression.
—getting ready now? — he asked with the intention to tease Toni.
—i bet you can't face it! — Toni would try to convince him at the snowball fight.
—i may be made all of pure heat but you know that i never refuse an fight young lady! — he picked the snow from the ground too and started forming as an ball.
She tried to run away to dodge the attacks, but giggles after getting hit by him and throw back the snow in his cheek who's also seeming to have lots of fun, but the opposite couple got surprised to feel more snowballs getting thrown out of nowhere and when then moved their heads up they realized it was Thunder and Lighting.
—are we allowed to form teams? — Thunder asked.
—why not? — Isaiah accepted.
[23:26]
And then the rest of Titans were enjoying their lives alone yet still united to the Christmas night, getting along with their friends, partners or just alone to have an moment of reflection until it’s time to everyone celebrate especially when there's gifts wrapped for each other, Más y Menos were running in a big ice lake to skid even if in the beginning they were feeling a bit unsafe in case of them getting hurt, but they weren't seeing any problem due to their frequence of movements keeping it alright.
Bumblebee and Herald were having an long talk about their personal lives asides of heroes ones, and even getting stick into private areas to make out without no one to interrupt, for surprise of Speedy Aqualad was the one who always suspected about his involvement with Troia and lowkey would see them hanging out.
—hope that you are still having fun Gooding around with your girlfriend. — Aqualad couldn't refuse at teasing the Harper.
Roy frowned his eyebrows completly annoyed by his attitude and feeling awkwarded for saying this in front of her, but got called down a little when he heard Donna giggling not seeing a problem of course for the fact Garth always suspected too about their relationship, and then Roy smiles.
—thanks, and we will keep moving on as long our future is waiting for us! — he held Donna’s hand.
Jinx was all annoyed for Kid Flash disappearing so suddenly as she was about to cool down, but gasped in shock noticing him carrying an adorable polar bear plush he had buyed for her letting the same speechless but mentally grateful since the girl seems so flustered.
Cyborg couldn't stop laughing at Beast Boy.
—dude, can you two please help me?? My tongue is stuck! — he was begging to get some help.
—you are so stupid to lick that lamp post! — Victor said while still laughing at the situation.
—this is so embarassing… — Raven mumbled looking away from embarassment.
—Aqualad! — Garfield said excited after seeing him.
—Victor, Rachel and… Garfield? — he felt weirded seeing Beast Boy’s tongue stuck in a freezed lamp post.
The boy would try for the last time to get away there, after putting too much effort he finally left and would raise an dumb smile like nothing happened, Garfield came at Garth offering an high five.
—how did you found us? — Logan asked.
—well, i just heard some noises of you three so we decided to do some visit, and Raven also seems to enjoy. — Aqualad have an kind smile.
—it’s probably almost Christmas, i wonder how Robin and Starfire are going… — Raven said.
—who cares? He’s just spending his time with Kory and lost the total focus on the hours… — Garfield crossed his arms pouting.
But he would see two figures far away inside of an hot chocolate restaurant, the figures of these two people looking very familiar as Beast Boy took four seconds to realize along with Cyborg, as now they reveal themselves to be nothing more than Dick and Koriand'r with arms wrapped in each other after leaving the restaurant and laughing about something they are talking about, and then resulting in a passionate kiss.
Dick Grayson had his cheeks burning from getting so flustered after that kiss, he decided to look at the time being shown in a big screen showing to be 00:00 actually Christmas time, and then he looked back at the girl who also saw the hours.
—merry Christmas Robin, if that's how you humans called that day… — her voice was so smooth.
—i love you. — Robin said.
They would give one last hug, but at this time being more comfortable and warm enough, at least Dick is able to consider himself lucky enough to have an alien who’s very dependent from sun as her skin is also very warm in a way that doesn't brothers him depending of the temperature the air stays, as if he doesn't wants to leave her arms.
When Robin moved his head up still on the hug immediately gasped seeing Beast Boy, Raven and Cyborg giggling for that situation, it seems they have been already there since the couple arrived to leave the place.
Except Aqualad who's standing there with an serious face seeing completely chill, but it was still enough to make Robin feel awkwarded.
—oh my dearest friends, you guys are here! — Starfire Saw their presence and opened an smile.
—Santa Claus is waiting for you too, hohoho! — Beast Boy scoffed.
Raven rolls her eyes after his words and drowned the eyebrows, but since it was already Christmas she had to enter in this festive mood along with the rest for someone who’s very closeted, as her emoticlones of joy, love and courage were celebrating together this night.
—well… merry Christmas i guess. — she said with an smile.
Beast Boy couldn't control his smile seeing Rachel getting involved in the mood as well.
—let’s call others too! — Robin said with an positive mood now.
Barbara was helping Kara to skid in the ice since she never tried before, at least not as an hobby or an time break for the boredom around, but at least she was lucky the red head was having enough patience to help the Kryptonian carefully.
—very good! — Barbara said proudly.
—i guess i can do it now, let me try! — Kara replied determined to try.
She aparts herself from Barbara as she almost fell having the red head about to grab her, but luckily she haven’t lose the balance and is doing an good progress at skating around in the big frozen lake and goes more far at doing spin movements and others to dance, the miss Gordon looks at her getting lowkey hypnotized by her determination and the movements having so much fun there and keeps playing attention.
Barbara decided to move closer to the blonde alien and go participante in this dance too by grabbing her waists, Kara haven't hesited and put the hands in her shoulders to accomplish the movements soon, and then both of the girls would dangerous together skating around the ice lake as the snow keeps falling.
She never saw such an beautiful human like Barbara Gordon and the person she considers more than just an friend, both of the teenagers were laughing together for fun and the most obvious thing is from love for each other.
Kara started at her completely focused while keeping an enticing smile.
—i have no regrets at coming to this earth asides to just see my cousin, and i must admit the Titans were so fun to meet haha! — Kara said.
—you better not… — Barbara giggles.
—yo, Babs, Kara! — Robin shouted calling for them.
They have stopped the moment interrupting for complete the dance in the ice lake to see Robin with the rest of Titans reunited.
—hope that you two are still awake that IS Christmas now! — Cyborg said with enthusiasm.
—of course not guys, and i have the obligation to say Merry Christmas for you all and… especially you… — Barbara caressed Kara’s cheek making the same feel shy.
—ugh… the PDA just makes me feel so distant. — Raven mumbled feeling uncomfortable as she covered herself with an hoodie.
The Red Star would walk all alone with his expression having an feeling of sadness since when he sees the snowy scenario it just reminds him of his birth place, and everything what happened in the incident of the innocents who were giving him potential, but this feeling of getting exposed to the outside and trying to have all the control to not be considered as an dangerous being by the rest not only in the US but anywhere at least could give him some relief inside at being able to spend the Christmas with everyone together.
—Red Star? — Starfire appeared flying.
—Kory? — he was surprised by her appearance.
—we were concerned because we didn't saw you, i was about to use the comunicator until i finally saw you!
He gave an peaceful smile demonstrating that everything was okay.
[00:58]
Now after everyone came back to the tower safely and spending their times by talking, playing music, playing with Silkie like Más y Menos were doing and playing videogames. Aqualad, Starfire and Bumblebee almost roasted the turkey as the Tamarean went in despair.
—is everything alright?? — Robin asked worried.
—it’s okay Robin, we just… almost burned the food! — Kory raised an dumb smile feeling awkwarded.
Aqualad and Bumblebee had an facepalm that just worsened the situation when Starfire Saw both of the reactions, even Dick didn't knew what to say, but at least the turkey looked good and joined them to help to prepare the table for everyone since there’s lot of people around including Bushido who came to help with the drinks.
—hello?? I thought you guys knew that vegans also existed! — Garfield grumbled like an spoiled child talking about meat.
Kid Flash arrived with an plate full of vegan food option that made his eyes grew and very amazed, but also make him droole appreicating all the food with no meat or anything that comes from animals, Wally just gave an blink and keeps going with all the help some of them needs.
All the hard work was finally done and the Titans were totally reunited to eat in the table peacefully as Beast Boy was enjoying a lot the food and feels thankful for Kid Flash at bringing vegan food, with Aqualad he was seeing if no one was eating sea creatures in front of him, but for respect to him without wanting any troubles some of them looked at each other making sure they aren't eating any sea food in front of him, but everything ended well at seeing there's no that type of food in the table. As now in the same place after they finished all the food and drinks the Titans were talking to each other how their night was outside in Jump City, just laughs mixed with stories too, and Speedy finally telling about his actual relationship with Wonder Girl that made half of the people surprised, but some of them already suspected so they looked so fine with it.
Starfire was flying in front of them with an smile in her face as if she’s about to tell anything.
—now my glorious friends, it’s time for me sing an Tamarean folk song to celebrate this special night in planet earth!
Everyone’s expression changed into started and the eyes completely freezer knowing what will happen, especially after that day.
Quickly Beast Boy and Jinx were able to shut her mouth making everyone feel relieved the Tower will not explode because of her screams.
—that was close… — Raven said.
—i guess this won't be necessary, so why not go to the gifts already? — Jinx replied trying to change the mood.
—sweet! My hands have been itching since i saw them hahaha! — He turned into a mosquito to fly at the gifts.
Everyone walked to the tree as well and seeing which box belongs to who at checking the names, Mas y Menos were the first ones to know the two gift boxes with similar colors belongs to them, after opening the gift they received two Sonic games matching them perfectly as they celebrate dancing together, the childrens received pretty Dolls, cars and animal plushies as Melvin would hug the doll completely happy and bobby felt happy seeing the innocence of these childrens, Raven received an black cape with blue details having ruby jewels there by Beast boy.
—hehe, i just buyed this and remembered of you… — he said scratching his own head.
But Raven smiled and gave him and comforting hug after that, letting the boy all paralyzed without reacting.
Herald gave Karen an new hero uniform that make her gasp completely enchanted, while the guy received an more powerful trumpet from her, Cyborg received from Jinx new achievements to his archives giving more skills to battles, an new evolution with that technology as he have an awkward smile, but got freezer with Kid Flash’s jealous mortal looking and looking away.
Not even forgetting to mention the photoshoot with the cameras are everywhere to archive this special memory of the youth reunited, Titans forming duos and groups taking photos with cameras as for no surprise Beast Boy would make funny and goofy expressions and even poses.
Bushido received an new Katana from Robin and had more details with effort, it reminds the guy where him and the bird leader had an battle together in the training season, and so on the gifts were about games, stuff needed for battles, clothes, acessories and hats.
Starfire’s eyes were shining watching the entire scene of everyone having too much fun having their gifts revealed, especially to Beast Boy having one of the videogame series Mega Monkey 5 getting revealed and a Transformers poster, Dick Grayson felt nervous when looking at her as his sweatdrop would fall from his forehead, no, he had to give her gift that was made from himself.
—Robin? — she asked.
—i Hope that “Santa” could make you happy with this one… — Dick replied completely shy.
—oh thanks for all your kindness! — she picked the pink and purple gift box.
Koriand'r opened the gift as the leader would watch feeling so nervous inside lowkey affecting his breathing with fear if his beloved one not enjoy the gift, and got even worse when her green eyes were fixated inside of the box, now she picked revealing to be an adorable grey kitten plush dressed like Robin himself to symbolize.
She couldn't believe what she's seeing in front of her eyes, Raven saw it with an straight face.
—Robin… you could have given an better gi- — Rachel got interrupted by Kory.
—i love it… — the Tamarean mumbled.
This also made Richard Grayson feel surprised by that response, and noticed how much her smile was bigger than before with green eyes shining and hugging the cute kitten plush, his cheeks were so red.
—really? — Questioned the masked bird.
But gasped after receiving and tight hug from her as he held her back, giggling from passion as the same moment resulted in a kiss on his cheek, Robin's face went completely redder as the smile grew intensely by passion.
—i will keep this doll as an eternal memory, and when i look at this adorable kitten plush i will just remember of you! — she looked at the plush and then looking back at Dick.
—at least it’s her joy, so good luck with that thing. — Speedy said.
Some of them Titans would giggle after the response, but at least the mood and vibe were all fun as now what waits for them to 2005 are new challenges to deal, conflicts and ideas, but at least give up is the last thing they could do as the Future waits for all of them. And the concern in case of Slade come back or any other villain they had to defeat before, but for now the entire focus is an good break from missions at spending time with friends, family and the ones they love and care the most even if they aren't family related, but considering themselves as one.
Notes:
And yes, in my AU it's still 2004 which it means it's almost to turn 2005 for your information only if you guys are curious xP
