The Nightmare About the Perfect Boyfriend
"Raven, I'm sorry, but I have a bad feeling about this guy." Beast Boy said, following Raven inside. Raven's new boyfriend, Danny, had just brought her back to the tower. Beast Boy had been waiting.
*Flashback*
3 weeks earlier
Raven walked into her favorite café`. As she made her way to her regular table, someone bumped into her and she dropped the small purse she had borrowed from Starfire. As she bent down to pick it up, she noticed someone else already picking up the contents of the bag. As Raven reached for her wallet, her hand met the other person's hand. She looked up and found herself staring into the most electrifying blue eyes she had ever seen. As he helped her up, he said
"Hi, I'm Danny." Raven just nodded and let him lead her toward her table. He sat down with her and began talking. Before Raven knew it, it was already 10:00. As she got up to leave, Danny scribbled down his number on a piece of paper and told her to call him tomorrow. Raven had walked home dreamy-eyed.
Since then, they had had countless phone conversations and many dates. Raven was starting to trust him as much as her teammates.
*End Flashback*
"Beast Boy, it's nice of you to care, but he's a dream come true. We've been dating for three weeks. We're into all the same things and he is so trustworthy. He always brings me flowers or candy and he is always a gentle man." Raven replied in her monotone.
"Alright, but I'm watching him." Beast Boy said as he went to play video games with Cyborg. Raven went to find Starfire. She was in her room with Silkie. Starfire had three beanbag chairs, a pink bed, a pet bed for Silkie, and many pictures in her room.
"Starfire, can we talk?" Raven asked her.
"Of course Raven. What do you wish to talk about?" Starfire asked, sitting down.
"You know how I met Danny three weeks ago? Well, out of all our dates, I think this one was the best. First, he took me to the place we met and gave me my favorite flowers. Then, he recited some poetry he wrote about me. Then we went to park and walked around for an hour and talked about everything. This is the first time I've felt like this since Malchior. Then we drove back here and talked about our favorite places in the city. Star, I think he could be the one." Raven told her.
"Raven, this is glorious! I am overjoyed for you! I cannot wait to meet him when he picks you up tomorrow! We all may meet him, right?" Starfire was excited.
"Well, yeah, tomorrow you guys can meet. Beast Boy already sort of met him. Anyway, I'll see you in the morning Starfire." Raven said as she walked out the door.
"Silkie, isn't this marvelous?" Starfire said as Raven walked down the hallway.
After Beast Boy had finished playing with Cyborg, he went to the training room with Robin. Robin noticed he hit the punching bags harder than normal.
"Beast Boy, sit down for a minute." Robin said, nodding toward a bench. Beast Boy sat down as Robin leaned on the back of the bench.
"Want to tell me what's wrong? I won't tell anyone. I promise." Robin said, sitting down as well.
"Ok. So you, know Raven's new boyfriend, Danny? I have a bad feeling about him." Beast Boy said.
"What about Raven. She has something to do with this. I know she does. Let it out. I'm here for you." Robin said.
"Alright, fine. I'm just jealous! I want to be the one with her. I've always loved her. I wanted to give her some time after what happened with Malchior, but Danny comes along and ruins it all! I love her!" Beast Boy nearly yelled.
"Malchior. I forgot about him. I'll have to talk to her later. I won't tell her what you said. Anyway, just give the guy some time. You want her to be happy, right?" Robin asked Beast Boy in that brotherly tone of his.
"Yeah, but I don't want her to get hurt again." Beast Boy said.
"Just give it some time." Robin said as he left to go find Raven, leaving Beast Boy to think.
