Dark Love
By R2K2J
A/N: This is in Raven's POV.
Chapter 1: The Truth Is…
---
Well, just another day like any other. Robin was in training, Cyborg and Beast Boy are fighting for control of the controller and Starfire's trying to spread love and peace as if she was a hippie or something.
I was sitting on the couch, reading another book of mine, which was called "Dark Poems for the Unloved". I tried to get away from the ruckus that Cyborg and Beast Boy were making, in which I would like to call a two-man riot.
So I just sat there reading. But the truth is…
---
As I walked into my forbidden room, I closed it. Then the loving side of me came out. Oh god, what do you want now? I thought to myself.
"Aw, come on, Rae. I know your secret." the 'loving me' said.
"Okay. Tell me what it is then." I asked her.
"You like Beast Boy, don't you?" In the midst of breathing, I choked for a bit before I regained my composure.
"What makes you think that?" I said as I walked to my big mirror.
"You weren't reading your book back there." Once again, I choked before she continued. "You were faking your reading, but you put the book down slightly just to stare at Beast Boy." Oh yes, I forgot to mention. She was the know-it-all of the more loving side of me.
"Love is nothing to me." I said.
"No, it isn't." she answered back.
"Love is conditional." I said.
"Not for you." she said before she disappeared back into me. Maybe what she said was true. Maybe I do love Beast Boy. I thought about what she said and fell asleep on my bed.
---
Well, whatever she just said, I don't care. It was already morning. I headed to the kitchen to get a glass of herbal tea for breakfast. Beast Boy was making his favorite 'tofu eggs and bacon special'. At first, I didn't know what it would taste like. But seemingly everyone should know that I don't care. Cyborg didn't want any, so he threw his away.
There was no way I could talk to Beast Boy now. There was only one person I could turn to for advice. And by god she'll be the last person I'll ever go to for advice.
---
"So, you want to know how to love?" she asked me. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the go-to girl was Starfire. She had many Earth boyfriends, but turned them down immediately because she knew she was going to say something bad.
"Not me. A friend of mine." I replied falsely. I sat on her bed that looked like a Rune Essence (A/N: Runescape people know this!) or something like a flat plate with a pillow on it. "Well, actually it is for me."
"Why?" I, once again, choked for a few seconds before I replied.
"What if I told you that what I'm about to say is true?"
"What is it, then?" Why do I keep choking? That's not me! Anyway, I had to before I told her the truth. It took me a moment to do so but I finally did it.
"I…" Stop. "I…love……… Beast Boy…" Finally, I could get rid of the feeling that was inside me. But, I could sense that something was going to go wrong.
Oh, yeah. Starfire's happiness. She jumped up on me and congratulated me.
"This is wonderful! We must tell now!" She said but I had to stop her. Who else could stop a too-happy person?
"Listen to me, Starfire. You have to keep this secret. I don't want anyone to know that I am in love. Do you understand?"
"Yes!" She replied happily. I could only breathe a sigh of relief. I said to myself, "This is not going to work out well…"
