(A/N: A plot bunny ATTACKED me
I don't own Teen Titans, or William Shakespeare, or Lord Tennyson, or Fanfiction... -hehe-)

Responding to the knock on her door, Raven stood shell-shocked at the scene in front of her, "...What are you doing?"

"What does it look like I'm doing?"

"It looks like you robbed a cos-player from a cheap 1980's history-romance movie," She stated exasperatedly as she stared at him confused. "And then you ran through a mudslide."

"Shit," He swore and looked at her desperately. "The dude from the store said it was so William Shakinson!"

"Shakespeare?" She corrected him.

"Yeah, him too."

"And the mud?"

Beast Boy smiled sheepishly. "I kind of tripped coming back from the store.."

"But why are you dressed like this?" Raven questioned, looking nervously down the hall, praying that one of the other Titans wouldn't see them, him like this.

"Well, I saw how you liked Shakespeare a lot, so I went to this costume store and bought a costume... So I could read you a poem..."

"A--poem?" she questioned uneasily.

"Yeah Rae," he laughed. "I said it in English," She stared at him heatedly.

"How do you know I like William Shakespeare?"

"Well, I saw you reading a book with William Shakespeare on the front, I may not know physics, but I can read," She blushed that he thought she thought he was stupid. "And I saw in your room on your bookshelf that you have a few books by him."

"Why were you-"

"Let's not worry about the finer details." Beast Boy laughed and she folded her arms across her chest. "So um, here I go."

She stood looking at him awkwardly in the doorway of her bedroom. He cleared his throat and knelt down on one knee, and began reciting the poem from memory.

"...The heart that never plighted troth, but stagnates in the weeds of sloth;" His face turned a slight shade of brown and Raven started to smile.

"Nor any want-begotten rest. I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most;" He kept reciting the poem, his eyes focused on the ceiling as he twiddled his fingers. He was too embarrassed to actually look her in the eyes.

"'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." As he finished the poem, he looked down to Raven, who currently had her hand over her mouth, her body shaking. "Rae?" He questioned, oh God, he killed her with William Shakespeare..

Suddenly, she burst into a loud laughter. Beast Boy stared horrified at Raven, he had just recited her a poem, trying to tell her his feelings towards her and she was laughing at him? "What's so funny?" He demanded.

Raven wiped a tear away from her eye. "Beast Boy, that's Tennyson, not Shakespeare." She tried to hid a smile as she noticed some of her figurines had fallen from their shelves to the floor.

He stared at her with his mouth hanging open. "Are you serious?"

Raven nodded, smiling softly at him. "The Internet lied to me!" He stood up and put his hands on his head. Beast Boy spun around to face her, "That damn Fanfiction!"
