"Azarath Metrion Zinthos," hummed two voices inside of Raven's room in perfect unison. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos. Azarath Metrion Zinthos."
For the last couple months, everything in the T Tower was going beautifully. Robin, as promised, now confided in Starfire, who now flew and fought better than ever. Raven and Beast Boy actually meditated together, and he'd actually gotten her to play a video game once (even though she didn't enjoy it.) Even though they weren't yet a "couple" and hadn't been out on a date, they were still closer than ever. Most of the time, Cyborg was somewhere with Bumblebee. Not to mention, their fighting seemed to be flawless.
"Raven?" said Beast Boy, opening an eye. Raven sighed angrily and stopped chanting.
" This is why I didn't used to let you meditate with me. You have absolutely no attention span."
"I—sorry—I was just wondering…Are we ever going to go out on a date?"
"We've been over this, Beast Boy."
"But all you said was 'someday'."
"And that's what I mean."
"Well, isn't today a day?"
"Beast Boy—''
"I just don't get why you won't go out with me!"
"I'm meditating now, so you can just keep talking but I'm not going to listen. Azarath Metrion—''
"Raven—come on, just—''
"—Zinthos. Azarath—''
"Raven—''
"—Metrion—''
"Come on!"
"—Zinthos. Azarath—'' But Beast Boy stopped her before she could finished. He kissed her on the lips, lightly, but enough to make her shut up for just a few seconds. She looked a little annoyed when he backed away from her, but he was pretty sure she was just faking. She didn't look annoyed like she normally did, at least.
"Raven, please go out with me?" Raven sighed, glaring at him a bit.
"You're…incessant."
"You bet I am!"
"Do you even know what that means, Beast Boy?"
"That isn't important! What's important is that I want you to go out with me!"
"Apparently." Raven paused, and, again, sighed, then said in her dark, gravely voice: "Fine."
"Huh?" said Beast Boy, astounded. "Seriously?"
"Yes."
"Awesome!" screeched Beast Boy, his voice high and squeaky as always.
"Now can I please continue meditating?"
"Oh! Yeah! Right!" Beast Boy crossed his legs and closed him eyes.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos," they said in unison. Meditating was the last thing Beast Boy wanted to do right now, but he figured he should probably behave himself while he was ahead.
