Meyo everyone, I'm trying to get Kidnapped up and running for those who mind so have faith :o) also, me and my sister were brainstorming 'cause we were bored while listening to If You're Not The One by Daniel Bedingfield (one of my bestest friends hates him for some reason xD) and we both thought this would make a good songfic. However I'm not sure whether to make a story out of it or leave it as a songfic/oneshot, so please give me your views :-) would be mighty appreciated of ya' (o-k suddenly I'm talking cowboy-western O.o).
Disclaimer: I own nothing apart from my braces.

If You're Not the One
"Right err hiya everyone, um I hope you like this song, it's called 'If I'm Not The One' by Daniel Bedingfield (love this song!) and I wanna dedicate it to someone very special to me called, well let's just say she's the most beautiful thing in the world to me and I'll never hurt her ever..."
Beast Boy gulped and nodded to the band behind him...slowly the songs' intro started playing. While the whole bar had gone quiet, eager to hear the famous superhero sing to his special someone.
If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you're not the one then why does
my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your
heart return my call
if you are not mine would I have the strength
to stand at all
The crowd gasped as the nervous teenager sang in a plainly high-pitched-going into puberty voice, but it was clear and held the pitch well. Beast Boy looked around nervously as he sang and his eyes rested on the girl he loved.
I'll never know what the future brings
But I know you're here with me now
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
The Titans minus one stared at their team-mate, shocked that such a meaningful song could come out so beautiful from the boy who gets on everyone's' nerves
I don't want to run away but I can't
take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why
does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay
in your arms?
If I don't need you then why am I
crying on my bed?
If I don't need you then why does your name
resound in my head?
If you're not for me then why does this
distance maim my life?
If you're not for me then why do I dream
of you as my wife?
This was the part that Beast Boy felt nervous about, sure he had day-dreamed of making her his wife, but to let the rest of reality know was rather embarrassing. Beast Boy sang the words clearly, even though inside he was as nervous as when Raven was mad at him for being in her mind ('Nearly wet myself 'cause I was so scared!').
I don't know why you're so far
away
But I know that this much is true
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish
that you could be the one I die with
And I pray in you're the
one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life
He couldn't take it anymore. He rested his eyes on the shocked empath, looking her right in her eyes, hoping that his silent message would be received. Raven looked at him, shock evident in her eyes, as well as doubt, fear and...hope...?
I don't want to run away but I can't
take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why
does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay
in your arms?
The rest of the Titans stared at Beast Boy, speechless. Cyborg was just shocked, as well as Robin, completely oblivious to whom he meant (boys . flipping blind I swear...). Starfire however could clearly see who he was aiming this at and it filled her with such happiness knowing her friends might find love as she started floating off her seat a bit due to her emotions.
'Cause I miss you, body and soul so
strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my
heart and pray for the strength to stand today
'Cause I love
you, whether it's wrong or right
And though I can't be with
you tonight
You know my heart is by your side
Beast Boy closed his eyes, letting the emotions flow through him for the girl he loved, adored and feared a little. As the song neared its end he opened his eyes for the last chorus, giving his heart to it completely.
I don't want to run away but I can't
take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why
does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I could stay
in your arms
The song ended quietly...a shocked silence followed, until someone started clapping, then another then another; soon the whole club was clapping, some of them standing up and cheering to the boys' upfront view of his love for someone.
"Thank you everyone! G'Night dudes!" he cried nervously over the clapping and jumped off the stage and walked up to the Titans, who were staring at him in a new light.
Beast Boy scratched the back of his neck nervously, "So err, whadda ya' think?" he grinned sheepishly, quite amused at how the Titans were looking at him.
"Yo...B...that was..." Cyborg trailed off
Suddenly Starfire squealed and hugged Beast Boy fiercely "Glorious Beast Boy that was a wondrous song!" she yelled happily.
"Agh, Star...can't...breathe..." Starfire promptly let go of the choking challenging (alliteration XD) and sat down again. Beast Boy went to sit down, but realized who he had to sit next to.
"Err..." Beast Boy swallowed, slowly he sat down next to Raven, who was staring at her mug of Mocha (yum, my fav :D) deep in thought.
"Beast Boy I didn't know you could sing." Robin said, raising an eyebrow at the challenging, Beast Boy sweat-dropped and blushed at the compliment.
"Err yea well...heh..." Beast Boy muttered, embarrassed beyond words, though his heart was feathery light from being able to express his feelings finally, yet nervous at Ravens' reaction. He was sure Raven knew who he meant (and I hope you lot does too :l).
"So BB, who was the special lady the song was dedicated to?" Cyborg queried, a smirk on his lips, Beast Boy (if possible) blushed deeper.
"N-no-one..."
Cyborg laughed, "Come on B tell us, we wont tease I promise. Well maybe a little bit." he added thoughtfully.
Beast Boy shook his head and glanced at Raven, who was looking curiously at Beast Boy, a little bit of hurt in her eyes.
Now he couldn't have that; Beast Boy thought of a lie surprisingly quick for his amount of brain-matter and quietly said (he was always an actor), "Not that kinda love Cy, just best mate love." Yeah it was a useless lie but he could try.
"Suuuuuuuuuuuuure." Cyborg teased, then Raven finally spoke.
"If it was just a 'best friend' love then why won't you tell us?" Raven asked with a raised eyebrow, her eyes glistening in the dim light.
"Err..." Beast Boy trailed off, hypnotized by how beautiful Raven looked in the lighting...he stared at her, not even aware of the Titans looking at him strangely.
"What are you staring at?" Raven snapped, pulling up her hood, though failing due to Beast Boy grabbing the side of it and pulling it down again, Raven huffed angrily "It's rude to stare." she hissed, "What are you staring at?"
"...Your eyes..." Beast Boy said slowly, still hypnotized, "...beautiful...eyes..."
