A/N: This was written for ttt2023. The finale to the RavenBug Hanahaki series!! For @/the-coffee-fandom because I was promised cookies.

Marinette crossed the living area, two steaming mugs of tea in her hands, and sat beside Raven on the couch.
Raven was curled up in the corner, her feet tucked under her. She brushed her hair behind her ear and took the mug Mari offered with a small smile. “Thanks.”
“Sooo…” Marinette tapped her fingertips against the mug, the quiet clinking of her nails hitting the ceramic and providing something to break the awkward stillness.
“So.”
“You have Hanahaki?”
“I have Hanahaki.”
“And…you like me.”
Raven nodded, sipping from her mug, using the rim to hide her face somewhat.
“Okay…I think I need some time to process this, Raven.”
Raven nodded. “Take your time.”
~~~
Kon sat beside Raven on the opposite end of the couch. “Mari, huh?”
She glanced at him from the corner of her eye and shrugged. “Why not.”
Kon hummed. “Hey, I get it.”
Raven huffed inwardly. No need to rub it in . He got the girl.
Kon fidgeted with the TV remote for a while.
The awkward atmosphere finally pierced Raven’s nonchalant shell and she sat up straight, prepared to snap something and teleport away from the sheer claustrophobic energy in the Tower.
“I have an idea…depending on what Mari ends up saying.”
“...I’m listening.”
~~~
The other Titans were gone on a mission, so with just the three of them remaining, the elephant in the room only grew.
The weekend ended and a new week began, and Marinette still hadn’t said a word.
Kon cornered her in the kitchen Monday afternoon.
“Raven and I have a proposition for you.”
Marinette looked up from the almost-boiling kettle she was intently watching. “Hm?”
“Date both of us.”
“What?”
“If you want, you should try dating Raven. We’re both cool with it, if you want to. Neither of us want to pressure you, but if you want to, go for it- with our blessing. I know you had what you termed ‘a girl crush’ on her when you first joined the Titans, and, to be honest, I kind of expected one of you to make a move sometime before we started dating.”
“Really?”
Raven appeared from the shadows. “Yeah. What do you think? Still need more time?”
Marinette shook her head. “I’d like to try dating you both, if you’re cool with that. I’ll take you at your words that you are.”
Raven smiled at her happily. “Thank you for giving me a chance.”
“Of course!”
