Feeling Something

It had been a long day of fighting and the Titans were tired. After going home to rest, Robin and Starfire decided to go out for Chinese and bring some home for the others. Cyborg went to visit Bumble Bee at her tower so they could "talk". Beast boy was in the living room testing himself on his video games to see if he could ever beat Robin's high score or not. And Raven was sitting on the couch next to Beast Boy, reading. When she finally got bored, she decided to go to her room and meditate. All of a sudden, Beast Boy shot up and met her halfway to the door. "You wanna talk?" he asked knowing it would most likely be a no. Raven looked up slightly, now that BB was taller than her, and sighed. She knew she had not been that kind to him lately, so she gave him a chance. "About what?" she asked in an uninterested tone. "Well I don't know….why don't you pick the subject?" "Umm, ok, well… did you like the fight against Dr. Light today???" she asked in a nervous tone. "Yeah, it was so cool how you smashed him with a Gray hound bus!" he said all excited. "Yeah…did you take your pills this morning?" she said with a smirk. "Ha-ha! Really funny! And…maybe I did…maybe I didn't …" "Just wondering…" she said and let out a small giggle. "Did you just giggle?" Beast Boy asked. "Now why would I do something like that?" she asked looking a little embarrassed. "That is what I am asking, "he said with a smirk. "Ok, can we get on with the conversation now please?" she asked looking a little annoyed. Beast boy just smiled at her. "You get so irritated by me don't you?" "Yes I do" she said with an irritated look. He then got up and started toward the kitchen. Raven, wondering where BB was going, followed him. He slowly approached a cupboard and pulled out a mug. He filled it with hot water and put a tea packet inside. He stirred it around with a spoon, took out the packet and threw it away, and put in some sugar and honey and handed it to Raven. " Ok, this should calm you down." Raven looked at him and smiled. He had never been this nice to her. She then realized she never talked to him so it made a difference. She wanted to talk more but she didn't know what about. She slowly set down her glass, grabbed his sleeve, and took him to her room. "I can't talk in the living room…it makes me feel out of my element." "O…k… I guess. Umm, do you want me to meditate with you?" he asked, not sure of her answer. Feeling he would not mess up, she allowed him to join her.

After about an hour, Raven felt she had had enough and went to where beast boy was sitting. But to her surprise, she found him asleep. Rolling her eyes, she grabbed him by putting her black aurora around him and took him down to the pool, and dropped him in. He surfaced with a shocked face.

"What is the matter with you?" he yelled as if he was going to blow up.

"What's the matter with me?!" she asked. "What's the matter with you? I let you meditate with me and I can't stand being around you most of the time so you are lucky you even spent one hour with me!" Beast boy was hurt by hurt last comment. He had never known raven felt that way. He slowly swam to the side of the pool and climbed out. He grabbed a towel from the table next to the doorway and walked out of the swinging doors. Raven looked down at the floor. She had no idea why she had blown up like that. It was just that she hated people thinking she was creepy or boring. Truth was, Beast boy was really the only one who cared.
