The Date; by jackmustard99
Chapter one: Ask
It was just another normal day at the Titans tower, other than the fact that there hasn't been anyone to fight. All of the Titans were doing their own thing, minding their own business, for now anyways. Robin was working out in the gym, Cyborg was waxing the already perfect T-car, Raven was in her room, doing who knows what, Starfire was in the kitchen, most likely making some form of Tamaranian dish, and Beast Boy was alone in the common room, bored out of his mind.
"Ugh, I'm so booored!" beast boy whined. "I need something to do." One by one, he began to list off the things he did that day, hoping that he may find something interesting to do. 'I beat Mega Monkeys 5 three times today, I watched all my favorite shows and movies, I went for a swim, I helped Star with her cooking, and I even cleaned my room. I wonder what the others are doing?' and so he went to find out. After making his way to the kitchen, he asked Starfire what the others were up to. "Robin is doing the training, friend Cyborg is in the garage, and I do not know what Raven is doing." she said. "Thanks Star." "You are most welcome, friend Beast Boy." And so he left the kitchen and set off to see what Raven was doing.
He walked down the halls towards Raven's room as he thought of what he was going to say to her. Two years ago, things would have been easy when it came to talking to Raven, but now, at sixteen, and with a very large two year old crush on the dark Titan, he was finding it hard to say the right things around her. It was then that he noticed that he not only reached Raven's door, but he had knocked on it as well, and it was only a matter of time before "What do you want?" At a loss for words, he began to stutter. "I just….well….I wanted to see if….What are you" "Spit it out!" Then it hit him, a thought that could very well get him killed, but at the same time, it could answer one of his many secret questions. "Willyougooutwithme?" "What?" she asked, not understanding his most recent question. "There is this new restaurant in town and, well, I wanted to know if you'd like to go with me." "You mean, on a date." Raven said, as more of a statement than a question. "Yeah." he replied. "Ok" "See, I knew that you would….ok?" his eyes widening "Ok…. if you promise to leave me alone for one whole month." Beast Boy couldn't believe what he was hearing. Raven had agreed to go on a date, with HIM of all people. Granted, he'd have to leave her alone for a month, but, if she enjoyed herself enough, maybe, just maybe, she might remove this unofficial restraining order, or at least shorten it. "But you can't tell anyone just yet." Nodding, he left to get ready.
Thirty minutes later exactly, both teens met downstairs to let the others know of their arrangement. "You what!" Slightly annoyed, seeing as how this was the third time Cyborg had asked this, Raven controlled her temper, and answered. "Yes Cyborg, Beast boy and I are going on a date." At this, both Cyborg and Robin were sent into fits of hysteria, laughing uncontrollably due to their new found information. Then Robin spoke up. "I mean….I know that Beast boy likes you but, ….I never knew that YOU liked him back!" he said between bouts of laughter. Beast boy had enough. "So what if she does, I mean, I haven't seen you ask Star out, and you, Cyborg, I know you like Bumble Bee. As far as I'm concerned, I'm the first to ask anyone out on a date between the three of us! And this is Raven we're talking about here." Hearing this, both boys immediately shut up. Raven and Beast boy took this as their cue to leave
