As I am new to writing stories, let alone a Fan fiction, please go easy on the story. I have NEVER done this before. This story idea just came to me one night while I was reading others in the Teen Titans area.
So please enjoy and let me know if there is anything wrong, missing or needs to be improved. Flames are welcome.
I do NOT own Teen Titans.
I Will Wait
Flashback
It was a beautiful day in Jump City. There had been no villain attacks over the last few days, and the cities' heroes, the Teen Titans, where enjoying a much needed break.
Robin was with Starfire in the city for the day, doing who knows, what who knows where. Cyborg was visiting the Titans East, or to be more specific, Bumblebee. They had started dating roughly two months ago. This left Raven and Beast Boy alone in Titans Towers together for the day. The empathy and the changeling had been together for the better part of four years, nearing five.
"Will you marry me?" where the only words Raven could hear in her head at the moment. Beast Boy had been asking multiple times over the course of the last years and a half for her hand. And every time, she would respond with the same answer, "I'm not ready yet." Yes she loved him that much she knew, and she knew for sure he loved her. Why else would he keep asking?
"Beast Boy-" Raven was cut off before she could even get the next word off of her tongue. "'I'm not ready' I know." He said looking dejected. "I just… I just want us to be more than this…" he continued, staring at the floor.
Raven gently lifted his head up to look him in the eye, "I know, I do to. But, I just think I'm ready for that yet." She said and gave him a soft kiss. "I love you more than you will ever know, just give me time and I'll be ready. I promise." She continued with a small, soft smile gracing her face."
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath in before looking at her, and giving her a small smile in return. "I love you to, and I will wait for as long as it takes. I want to be with you, but I want it to be on your terms not mine." He said softly.
End of Flashback
It had been several months since they last discussed marriage, Beast Boy kept true to his word and let the subject rest in the back of his and Raven's minds until she was ready.
It was a sunny summer afternoon in mid- July. Everybody was in the common room of Titan Tower and doing there own thing. Nightwing, formerly Robin, was with Starfire in the kitchen, teaching her how to cook, Cyborg was in the workshop working on the T-car, and Beast Boy was in Raven's room.
They were simply lying in her bed cuddling, thinking about their relationship together. They were thinking about how they got together all those years ago.
Flashback
Raven was floating by the window reading a book with Beast Boy and Cyborg playing video games on the sofa. She would occasionally steal glances over in their direction, or more specifically at Beast Boy. It's true that Raven had developed feeling for the green shape shifter. It was not easy for her to admit however, her pride kept her from seeing what she truly wanted.
"DUDE!" Beast Boy shouted from the couch, "You cheated! I know you used a cheat or… or… a hack!" He said with an angry look on his face.
"Sorry green been, I ain't done anything, I'm just a better player than you are." Cyborg replied with a frustratingly smug look.
Beast Boy stood there for a few more moments before he conceded, "Yeah I know…" This caught the attention of both of the other two Titans present. Beast Boy NEVER admitted that he was wrong, least of all to Cyborg.
"Um B…. Did you just admit that I was right… and you were… wrong?" The metal Titans asked with a confused look on his face.
"Yeah Cy, I just think it's time that I grow up a bit. All this arguing gets nothing in return" Now this surprised Raven most. Not for the fact that he admitted something, but he sounded mature while saying it.
By this time Raven had set down her book and was standing almost right beside her crush, just looking at him. Beast Boy looked over at her and gave her a slightly flirtatious smirk. It was also true that the changeling found the dark woman very beautiful and was in love with her. 'Who am I kidding. She'd never love me, I'm green for crying out load!' He though while looking at her.
The smirk slowly fell to a frown at this thought, and he quickly walked away from both of them and towards his room. Shortly after he left, Raven took off after him, she needed to know what was really going on, NOW.
A few minutes later, she arrived outside the changing's room. She knocked lightly on his door but got no response. She tried again with the same result, so she reached out with her powers to sense him. 'He's definitely in his room, so why won't he answer?' She wondered. Taking a deep breath she opened his door, to see him sitting at his desk, drawing something by the way his arms moved.
"What are you doing?" She asked him softly. He was surprised, he didn't even hear the door open or close.
"Uh, um, uh.. Raven…. Um, what, what are you doing here?" he asked the dark beauty after standing up. "I was concerned… You've never admitted to be wrong to anything, at least not in front of Cyborg" she stated simply.
Beast Boy looked down with a long, sad sigh before replying, "You wouldn't believe me if I told you…" he said, his voice trailing off at the end. Raven looked upon him and could tell he was upset about something. She reached out and gently grasped his shoulder. He looked up and there eyes met. She could see the emotions in his eyes; happiness, sadness, a hint of fear, and another emotion that she didn't recognize.
Once their eyes met, it was almost as if there was a magnetic pull between them as their faces inched closer and closer. Her eyes flickered quickly down to his lips and back up. His seemed to do the same to hers, but his eyes lingered on his for a moment longer. She licked her lips, realizing where this was going, but could not will herself to stop it at all.
Ravens eyes fluttered closed as their lips were mere centimeters apart. There lips touched lightly, and shocks were sent through both of there bodies. She quickly pulled away and dropped her gaze to the ground biting her bottom lip. "I'm sorry, that was-"She was quickly silenced by his lips. Her eyes widened in shock but quickly fluttered closed at the feel of his lips caressing hers. Needless to say, she greatly enjoyed the feel of his lips against hers.
She slowly snaked her arms around his neck, and ran a hand through his hair, before letting it rest on the back of his, holding him firmly against her. His arms wrapped around her waist and held her tightly to him. She nervously touched his lips with her tongue, asking for entrance, which he was happy to allow. Quickly, their tongues between twining together in a very heated kiss with each other. Only when the need for oxygen won did they pull their lips apart, but kept their bodies close.
"Raven…" Beast boy asked softly while caressing her cheek. "Yes Beast Boy" she replied while leaning her head into his hand. He took a deep breath, 'now or never' he thought to himself' He closed his eyes, deeply inhaled her sent, and as he breathed out, opened his eyes and looked into hers. "I… I love you." To say Raven was ecstatic would be an understatement. She smiled up at him, not a small Raven smile, but a full blown happy smile.
"You have no idea how long I've waited to hear you say that… "She said while quickly bringing his head down for another deep kiss. When they pulled apart once again she laid her head on his chest and replied with a content sigh, "I love you to, so much more than I thought"
Thus began the relation of Beast Boy and Raven
