"RAVEN!" Beast Boy cried as he grabbed Raven's wrist, preventing her from falling to her doom.
"Beast Boy?!" Raven said looking up in disbelief. Beast Boy transformed into an elephant and hauled her up. "I guess I should thank you…"
"Yeah… Why couldn't you use your powers?" Beast Boy frowned
"I…I… It's complicated…" Raven said pulling up her hood to stop anyone noticing her bright red cheeks.
When the Teen Titans returned to their tower, Raven went straight to her room and shut the door.
'I don't like him! He's so annoying and… he… he… his jokes are awful… Um… He's not very intelligent. Well then again, he can be smart sometimes like the- No, he's thick AND he eats that gross tofu stuff and… Who am I kidding?' Raven thought to herself. 'It's just a crush Raven, it'll pass. Just like it did for Aqualad! And Malchior… Then again, Malchior was actually an evil dragon pretending to be a sorcerer… '
Suddenly there was a knock at the door.
'Maybe I should just tell him? No. I can't let my emotions get out of hand, like they did today. But maybe if I tell him, it will stop… No. I can't take that risk.'
"Raven?" Beast Boy's voice sounded through the door.
'Azarath! He's here now! I better pretend to be meditating..'
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos. Azarath Metrion Zinthos. Azarath Metrion Zinthos." Raven chanted, trying to block out her thoughts
"Raven? Can I talk to you? It's urgent." Beast Boy mumbled
Raven levitated silently to the door and allowed him entrance. "What?" she said calmly, folding her arms.
"Raven, I need to tell you something… But you have to promise not to laugh."
"I don't laugh Beast Boy. You should know that by now."
"Right. Yeah, of course. I did know that. I think…"
"What is you needed so desperately to tell me?" Raven raised one eyebrow.
"Raven… I think I… What I mean is, I am… I sort of… I…" Beast Boy stuttered
"Spit it out BB."
"IthinkIkindoflikeslashloveyouandIwanttoknowifyouw illgooutwithmetonight?" The green skinned changeling smiled weakly.
"Beast Boy, I did not hear a word you just said. Speak slowly." Raven said calmly.
"Raven… I think I have a crush on… Well… You…" Beast Boy blushed.
'AZARATH! Now what am I supposed to do? You know what, to hell with it.'
Suddenly, Raven grabbed Beast Boy's neck and pulled him towards her, kissing him tenderly. Beast Boy was shocked, his eyes widened! But soon the couple grew comfortable and they began to kiss more passionately.
When the pair broke apart Beast Boy grinned.
"So… You wanna go see a movie tonight?"
"Yeah. I guess. But not 'Zombie apocalypse' or whatever it is you and Cyborg obsess over."
"What about… A gothic, horror/romance film?" Beast Boy said, raising his eyebrows up and down.
"Well why didn't you just say so?" Raven said with just a hint of a smile playing on her lips.
