Shut Up and Dance by Walk the Moon

There she was, donning a racer front party dress in the deepest shade of blue, sitting by her lonesome at one of the tables on the outskirts of the dance floor. He couldn't help but stare at how the indigo fabric blended dreamily with her ashy skin, or how exceptionally shiny her violet locks appeared to be under the lights. If only he could see for himself if her hair was as soft as it seemed…

A hearty laugh broke him from his trance-like state, reminding him that there were people in the room possibly witnessing his ogling of his half-demon teammate. Beast Boy blinked before turning his head towards his cybernetic friend, who was grinning down at him with his one human eye.

"You gonna ask her to dance or what, grass stain?" Cyborg raised an eyebrow, nodding his head subtly towards their friend across the room and achieving a genuine look of confusion from the green changeling.

Beast Boy realized what he was implying, his face turning a dark shade of red, "W-what are yo- N-no! Why would I? Pffffffffft!"

The cybernetic teen let out another laugh as nudged the changeling a step or two forward, "Relax, man, I'm just messin' with ya."

Flustered, Beast Boy crossed his arms and muttered under his breath. Again, Cyborg nudged him, causing the younger boy to toss up his hands in exaggeration, "Quit it, Cy!"

Cyborg bellowed a laugh, "Ahh, come on. You can't tell me all that starin' at her was for nothin'. Just go ask her to dance, man."

"You do realize this is Raven you're talking about, right? Raven, the girl who likes to throw me out of the tower for the tiniest things, like, ever!" the changing ranted, not amused, "And I wasn't staring at her!"

The eldest titan shook his head endearingly at Beast Boy's blushing face, before glancing across the way once more at their friend, "Usually she's tossing you out of the window for invading her personal space or makin' too much noise. Or trying to glue her hands to the videogame controller."

Beast Boy opened his mouth to retort, but couldn't think of a good comeback, so he resolved to just stand there in a grumpy silence.

"Come on, grass stain. She might say yes," Cyborg pressed further.

The changing rolled his eyes dramatically, "Yeah, and I'll wolf down a hamburger after this. Again, this is Raven we're talking about."

Cyborg rolled his eyes in return, shaking his head.

"What is it about friend Raven you are discussing?" Neither titan had noticed the approach of a giddy Tamaranean, however, and were both shocked out of their suits at her unexpected presence.

"GAH!"

"HOLY-"

Starfire watched the boys react with amused eyes, now sparkling with even more interest, "Have I stumbled upon the act of the gossiping?"

"N-no way, Star!" Beast Boy laughed nervously.

Cyborg shook his head, then glanced down at the green teen and grinned. "Nah, BB here was just telling me how much he wanted to dance with-"

"THE NIGHT AWAY!" Beast Boy interjected loudly, elbowing the robotic teen in the side and earning a few stares from the party guests nearby.

The Tamaranean tilted her head at the changeling's odd behaviour, but decided not to question it. She was dressed in a bright green sweetheart dress, coated in rhinestones, that cut off mid-thigh. Beast Boy couldn't deny his alien teammate looked gorgeous, but even so, he kept feeling his eyes being drawn towards the opposite end of the room.

Cyborg noticed Beast Boy spare a quick glance in Raven's direction, only to witness his face fall dramatically. Curious, the tin man looked in the same direction.

Raven was gone.

"Well dang, BB, now you can't ask her to dance!" he grinned, despite feeling somewhat let down at his friend's missed opportunity.

Beast Boy's eyes widened before narrowing, his mouth forming into a comical pout, "Dude!"

Starfire raised an eyebrow, "Friend Beast Boy, did you wish to partake in the dancing activity with friend Raven?"

"N-No!" he denied, but his blushing face gave away the truth.

Starfire shook her head at him, "Now, friend, there is no use in denying it! Your face is doing the blushing and you are acting very strange."

"I-"

"Probably because he is strange, Starfire," Raven drawled, walking up beside the changeling, promptly causing him jump a good foot away from her.

"Raven!" Beast Boy squeaked, earning an amused snicker from his cybernetic teammate and a curious smile from the alien.

She blinked slowly at his antics, unamused, before glancing at their teammates.

Cyborg, not willing to let the moment slip by, began guiding Starfire away from the two, "Hey Rae! Sorry, can't talk, gotta go… uh… show Star something!"

"But friend Cyborg-"

"Come on, Star!"

Raven raised an eyebrow as he proceeded to herd the Tamaranean away from her and the changeling, who, she noticed, appeared quite flustered.

An awkward silence drifted between the two as Beast Boy stood there uncomfortably while Raven eyed him suspiciously.

What did he do this time?

Ohmygodshe'sstandingrighttherewhatdoIdo-

"Beast Boy."

"I'M NOT-" he panicked, before registering that she had merely said, "Oh, uh… y-yeah?"

Raven narrowed her eyebrows slightly, before rolling her eyes and brushing off his odd behaviour as him just being Beast Boy. She glanced over at the dance floor, then inadvertently back at him. The two made eye contact with each other, yet neither one could quite formulate words to the questions in their heads.

Do you want to dance?

"Do you want to dance?" they asked in unison, surprising each other. Raven blinked, a small blush adorning her cheeks, as Beast Boy's eyes widened and his face lit up like a Christmas tree.

"Really? Yeah!" Beast Boy beamed, before pausing and clearing his throat, "I mean, yeah. Sure. If you want to. Since it's a party and everything, and, uh-"

"Beast Boy." The demoness raised an eyebrow endearingly as the changeling stood upright, flabbergasted.

"Yeah, Rae?"

"Shut up and dance with me."

A/N: Hey guys! I heard the song Shut Up and Dance by Walk the Moon earlier today and couldn't help but think of Beast Boy and Raven. So, naturally, I had to write about it - and here we are! I'm thinking of writing a multi-chapter story comprised of song inspired oneshots. Stay tuned~

Rate & review? I'd love to hear from you! (:
