Raven sat on her bed waiting.

"Where is he?" Raven thought to herself. "Knowing Beast Boy he probably fell asleep." Raven rolled her eyes.

Only a few weeks ago it had happened. It had been a slow crime week, so everybody was off doing their own thing. Cyborg was busy polishing the T-Car. Robin had gone into the gym in order to practice his martial arts skills, because he believed that he was starting to "get sloppy". Starfire was, of course, at the "mall of shopping", picking out something to wear on a date that she and Robin had later that evening. Beast Boy was staring blankly at the T.V., watching a special about video games. All who was left was Raven, who was quietly meditating in the living room, facing the giant window. Out of nowhere, Beast Boy screamed, making Raven break out of her trance and fall on her butt. She glared at Beast Boy.

"I can't believe it! They're coming out with a Super Mega Ultra Game Console 7!"

"Yippy." Raven said sarcastically. "Now, can I get back to my meditating, or do I need to duct tape your mouth shut?"

"Aw, lighten up Raven!" Beast Boy said, while flipping through the channels, not seeing any shows that appealed to him. "Why don't you relax and watch some T.V.?"

"Because T.V. makes you stupid, and if I don't stay away from it, I might end up like you." Raven replied.

Beast Boy frowned. He had only been trying to help. He had been trying hard lately to spend some time with Raven, but she kept refusing. The only reason he wanted to spend time with her was so that he could finally tell her how he felt. How he thought that she had the most gorgeous body he had ever seen. How that she wasn't creepy, but just quiet. How that whenever he saw her eyes, he felt like the happiest person alive. How demon father or not, she was still a superhero. But mostly, he wanted to tell her how much he loved her.

Seeing that she had really hurt his feelings, Raven decided to rephrase her answer.

"You wouldn't like the shows that I do."

"But I would be willing to give them a try." Beast Boy responded almost automatically, a hint of excitement in his voice.

Raven thought about this. She really didn't enjoy watching T.V. too much, especially with other people. She mostly only watched it when they would rent movies, but that was about it. The only other time she would watch T.V. was when she was alone in the tower. Then, Beast Boy, seeing her moment of hesitation, turned into a puppy and stuck his lower lip out at her.

"It couldn't hurt. Who knows, maybe he will like the shows that I do."

Raven smiled.

"Ok."

Beast Boy transformed back into a human.

"You mean you'll watch T.V. with me?" Beast Boy asked hopefully.

"Sure. Why not?"

Beast Boy immediately showed a bunch of junk food to the floor to make room for Raven on the couch. Raven couldn't help but smile at this.

"So, what do you want to watch?" Beast Boy asked as Raven sat down next to him.

"How about 'Animal Planet'?" Raven asked, trying to sound like she didn't really care what they watched.

"'Animal Planet'? I didn't know that you liked animals."

"Well, sort of. Ever since I was little I liked to see how they differ from one another ." Replied Raven, quickly pulling her hood up as a blush crept up her face.

Beast boy smiled.

"I can't believe that I actually said that! Now Beast Boy is going to think that I am a freak!"

"I think that this might be my chance." Beast Boy smiled again.

"'Animal Planet it is then. "

Beast Boy then switched the channel. When the channel showed up, it showed two lions lying in the grass together. Beast Boy took this chance to see if what he thought was true. He slowly lifted his arm up to look as if he were stretching, and placed it on the part of the couch behind Raven.

"Is Beast Boy actually trying to make a move? He's not being very subtle about it."

To his surprise, Raven scooted slightly closer to him. Nobody else would have noticed this slight movement, but with Beast Boy's acute vision, thanks to his animal side, he caught it. He took this as a sign saying that it was okay, so he lowered his arm onto her shoulders. Raven gave a small smile and didn't object, but just then the T.V. exploded. At first, Beast Boy thought that someone had smashed through it from behind, but when he looked to see Raven's reaction, he understood. A deep blush, visible through her hood, had come across Raven's entire face.

"I can't believe that I just did that! If Beast Boy didn't think I was weird before, he definitely is going to now! I wish I could have normal emotions, like everyone else, without my powers exploding out of me like that!"

"Sorry about that." Raven mumbled.

"It's okay." Beast Boy said with a smile.

There was a long pause.

"Raven?"

"Yea Beast Boy?"

"I have to tell to something."

"What is it?"

Beast Boy scratched the back of his head nervously.

"Well…uh… first promise that you won't get mad."

"Sure Beast Boy." Raven said, curiosity visible in her voice. "So what is it that you have to tell me?"

"Well…, I sort of…, kind of…, like you."

Beast Boy immediately put his hands in front of his face, expecting at least to get smashed out of the window. To his surprise though, Raven didn't get mad. She just sat there with a smile on her face. She slowly pulled down her hood.

"You know what Beast Boy?"

"What?" Beast Boy asked cautiously, slowly lowering his arms a few inches.

"I like you too."

"Really?" Beast Boy asked, dropping his arms altogether. "You're not just messing with my head, are you? Because if you are, it's not funny."

"No, Beast Boy. I am not messing with your head. I actually do like you. I actually have ever since I met you. You're just so cute, smart, funny-"

Raven was cut off by Beast Boy kissing her full on the lips. It was a long, drawn out, kiss. Neither of them noticed the light bulbs breaking above them. They were still kissing when they heard Cyborg coming down the hallway shouting, "Hey! Raven! I need your help elevating the T-Car!"

"I'm coming!" Raven called. "See you later." Raven whispered with a wink.
