Into the Grey
Oh what is this throbbing I feel like cinderblock stomped on my head, beast boy thought to himself. I thought I was dead for sure. It was then that the memories of what had happened came flooding back to him.
One week ago
Beast boy and raven have been going out for two years now, in that time beast boy and had the best time of his life but unfortunately for our changeling most good things come to an end whether we like it to or not.
Beast boy P.O.V.
"Hey Rae are we still on for tonight?" I said as I looked at my girlfriend who seemed a thousand miles away at the moment.
"Huh? Oh yeah 8:00 rite?" she told me with what looked like a fake smile but I wasn't sure so I just shrugged it off and said "yeah and hey are you ok Rae? If you aren't we can cancel" to which she replied to me "No, I'm fine I'm just thinking about some stuff" She said kind of haphazardly. "Ok well if you say so I'll see you in a little bit" I said before I left her doorway.
Raven P.O.V.
Rite after beast boy left my room I felt a presence that was very familiar to me and then I noticed who it was before they stepped out of the shadows that concealed them. So I said "Hey Kyd" to which he replied to with "Hey, how are you doing?" as he got closer to me, as he transformed to his normal form which was a black haired, blue eyed, tall, young man who wasn't too bad on the eyes. He was wearing a black t-shirt, black bowler's shirt, black jeans, and black vans.
No One's P.O.V.
"I am doing just fine now that you are here." Raven said with a smile spreading across her face. S the two got ever closer, they both opened their arms for a hug from the other and a kiss. Said kiss turned into a full blown make out session. After they separated for air raven had asked "Not that I'm not glad to see you but what are you doing here anyway?" Kyd replied with "I just wanted to see your face is all." with that raven gave him another hug. "Aww that is so sweet of you kyd."
"While it saddens me to say so I must go now Rae I may not be a criminal anymore I don't think the titans would like me in the tower." Rae just sighed and said "Ok I'll see you later then" with a small smile on his face, he changed back and vanished. After kyd left raven decided to take a shower, she stayed in there for about ten minutes and after she dried off and put on her bathrobe she decide she would meditate before she got ready for her 'date' with beast boy. She had meditated for about two hours before she looked at her eyes. She looked at the clock that illuminated 7:00 P.M. in red lettering, so she began to get ready for her 'date' with beast boy.
Beast boy was ready and excited for his date with raven, for which he was dressed to the nines. He was wearing a; white dress shirt, black tie, black slacks, and a nice pair of dress shoes, he had even combed out and jelled his hair. He managed to get reservations to a fancy little joint in the middle of town called Gino's Italian Bistro. He looked at his at his watch which read 7:35. The reservation was for 8:00 and they would be on time with the T-car which cyborg had reluctantly let him borrow. He made his way to raven's room and knocked on her door, when the door opened he was dumbfounded at what he saw. There stood raven in a figure fitting dark blue dress with a slit about mid-thigh on one side, her black heels, and her hair down at her shoulders.
Beast boy P.O.V.
I was brought out of my spell when raven had asked me a question I heard her say "So how do I look?" to which I replied "y…you look gorgeous Rae." I was a little embarrassed that I was stammering but I think I saw a ghost of a smile on her face so I suppose it was worth the tradeoff. I thought as she said "Thanks" and so I said "Ok we should get going" as we got to the T-car I opened her door as she got in and closed it for her when she got in. And we were off to Gino's in a comfortable silence.
Raven P.O.V.
I have to do it tonight I have to break up with beast boy. I can't keep lying to him like this. I don't want to hurt him but I want to be with kyd. He understands me we can connect more than I can with beast boy, he will find someone better for him than me I know he will. I was brought out of my thoughts when I heard the door opening and beast boy offering his hand out to me so I took it as he said "We have arrived." We proceeded to the restaurant and beast boy held the door open for me and we made our way to the maître d's podium and the tall suited gentleman looked at us and said with a welcoming smile on his face "How may I help you today?" and beast boy replied "Yes I have a reservation for 8:00 under the name Logan, Garfield Logan" the maître d looked at his big book that was on the podium. And he said "Ah yes Mr. Logan rite this way please." He led them to a table that was next to a window after they were seated the maître d had called over a waitress to and he said "Have a good night" and then walked off.
Beast boy P.O.V.
Oh man I'm so hungry I could eat a house I was so nervous that I didn't eat earlier since I was stressing about tonight oh well here goes nothing.
I looked over the menu and when the waitress asked "are you ready to order at the moment?" I replied "Yes, can I get the spaghetti and I was wondering if it would be possible to not have meatballs put in?" she said "Yes that should no problem anything to drink?" she asked me so I said "Ah…a bottle of your finest apple cider please." I mean I'm only eighteen I can't drink Champaign yet. I thought to myself as the waitress with a little chuckle she turned to raven and asked "And for the lady?" Raven replied with "I'll have the chicken alfredo please"
I looked over to her and she seemed to be deep in thought so I asked her "Hey rae is something bothering you? You seem a little out of it today." I said with worry in my voice she responded to my question with "No I'm fine I assure you." She said with a smile that looked fake but I wasn't sure and before I could ask any more questions about it our food had arrived as well as the apple cider. We began to eat and I thought to myself this is nice. When we finished our food we got back in the car and we left.
No P.O.V.
They did not talk on the way back to the tower in a comfortable silence, when thy got back best boy had walked raven back to her room and had given raven a hug and a kiss and was about to walk away when raven grabbed his arm and said "Hey Garfield can I talk to you for a minute?" When she said this beast boy had gotten a bad feeling and thought uh oh she doesn't say my full name unless something is up. Raven hesitated at first but she had to do what she had to do she thought to herself It's now or never. "Look gar I think it would be best if we broke up its not you it's me I'm sorry" she said as she looked at the ground, shoe couldn't see his face but she could feel his emotions; sadness, anger, confusion, and curiosity.
Beast boy looked at raven and asked "w..why what did I do wrong? Is there someone else? His voice was getting slightly louder. All raven could do was look at the ground and say "yes I'm sorry but I can't be with you anymore I…..I have found someone else."
"So this is why you have seemed so distant when you are around me more so today than before." Beast boy said in a low hurt tone. "Who is it? Its aqualad isn't it? I'm gonna deep-fry that mother fucker." Beast boy said in a louder voice. "No it's not aqualad I just don't think…." She trailed off "Who is it Raven if you are gonna rip my heart out and throw it aside like nothing I think the least you could do is tell me who you are leaving me for." He all but shouted.
She said meekly "I never meant to hurt you Gar but yes, I believe you deserve that much. " Beast boy was prepared to hear any answer any at all but was not expecting her answer so he said "Ok Raven I get it, I don't want to hear excuses, now who is it?" he said in a loud tone of voice. "It's…..Kyd Wykyd" she said low but loud enough for beast boy to hear her. When she said this Gar all but shouted "WHAT!" he was at a loss for word when he found then he said "of all the people you could have chosen over me it just had to be him." He said with venom dripping from his words. "For fucks sake raven have you gone batshit crazy or something?"
Raven just stood there in silence for a moment before beast boy looked at her and finally said "You know what raven fine" He slammed his fist on the wall and walked off with a defeated look on his face, and raven just thought to herself, this is for the best for the both of us he will forgive me eventually he won't hold a grudge forever….will he? She thought with a sigh as she turned around and walked into the abyss that is her room.
