I do not own this song. All rights go to Selena.
After a nice hot shower, Beast Boy walked down the hall in a t-shirt and boxers to his and Raven's bedroom. They had been dating for almost a year, and they had never been so happy together. He noticed that she seemed to have more control over her emotions ever since they had admitted their feelings for each other.
This particular day had been incredibly exhausting. The crime alert had gone off at least four times. They had to deal with the H.I.V.E, Johnny Rancid, Cinderblock, and Dr. Light. But the teammate who seemed to be the most affected was Raven. She left almost every battle black and blue. And each time she got injured, Beast Boy would get ahead of himself and turn into the Beast.
As he got closer to their room, Beast Boy heard music. And it wasn't just any music, it was very smooth music, a type of song that Starfire would sing and dance to with Robin. But their room was too far for him to be able to hear it. When he stopped right outside his room, he realized that the music was coming from right behind the door.
He slowly opened it to see Raven standing in front of the mirror, in her blue nightgown, brushing her hair and her hips swaying side to side to the music. At first, he smirked. He had seen her do this before.
But then she began to sing:
I could lose my heart tonight
If you don't turn and walk away
'Cause the way I feel I might
Lose control and let you stay
'Cause I could take you in my arms
And never let go
I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you
Beast Boy's jaw dropped. She sounds like an angel.
I can only wonder how
Touching you would make you feel
But if I take that chance right now
Tomorrow will you want me still
So I should keep this to myself
And never let you know
I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you
Beast Boy smiled as he quietly began to walk over towards her. When he saw the moment, he wrapped his arms around her stomach and kissed her temple. Raven blushed as she quickly turned around to face her boyfriend.
"Uh, how long have you been watching me?" she asked nervously. A book flew off the shelf.
Beast Boy grinned wider than ever. "The real question is: how come you've never told me you could sing like that?"
He could notice her nerves start to wear down as she smiled warmly. "I've just never told anyone."
He pulled her closer. "Well, you should do it more often."
She laughed softly. Then he began to do a waltz with her as she continued to sing:
And I know it's not right
And I guess I should try
To do what I should do
But I could fall in love
Fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you
Then he gently lay her on the bed before crawling on top of her and began planting kisses on her cheeks, her forehead, her lips, her nose, and her neck, all the while murmuring the Spanish part of the song:
Siempre estoy sonado en ti
Besando mis labious
Acariciando mi piel
Abrazandome con ansias locas
Imaginando que mi amas
Como yo podria amarte
He looked into her violet eyes and rested his forehead on hers. "I love you, Raven. I love you so much."
She kissed him gently. "I love you, too, Beast Boy."
So I should keep this to myself
And never let you know
The two were already fast asleep, warm in each other's arms as the song began to fade to the end.
I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you
In Loving Memory of the Mexican Madonna
