Chapter Two.
Shadow on the Rooftop.
Beast Boy x Raven.
Raven slowly made her way to the kitchen, foot steps light, yet quiet in the dark. Already the smell of Beast Boys tofu filled the air, and she could hear him banging around pots and pans in an effort to cook his tofu. She smiled lightly at the thought. Even though Tofu was Beast Boys favorite food, that didn't mean he had a hard time preparing and cooking it. Pulling her hood down, she raised a slight eyebrow at the sight of Beast Boy, wearing a white apron and cooking hat. He grinned and posed in a joking matter.
"You like? I took it from Robins stuff." He grinned in a cocky sort of way. Raven nodded slightly and looked around. Pans covered the stove, and tofu was cooking in all of them. "Erm..Beast Boy..don't you think that this is a little too much tofu for just a 'late night snack'?" She asked warily, her dark eyes slanted. A sweatdrop appeared on the back of Beast Boys head, and he laughed nervously. "Erm..I was making some extra for you! Thats why!" Of course, Beast Boy wouldn't admit that he was going to eat it all himself before Raven walked in, but...he would just keep quiet about that.
"Erm...thanks, but no thanks." Raven replied. Deciding to be just slightly sweet though for Beast Boy, since he helped her out when she needed it, she tied on a apron. "I'll help you out though if you want." Beast Boys face suddenly brightened. "Dude, thanks! That'd be great!" He paused slightly, and looked at her warily. "You aren't just doing this to put something in the tofu, are you?" Raven shook her head, and managed a slight smile.
"No, but if you keep staring at me like that I will put something in it." Beast Boy then gulped, and turned to the stove. Raven looked down at the apron and grimaced. The things you do for your friends. "Ok..how can I help?" She asked dully. Beast Boy grinned and looked back at her. "Weeeell..we do need mustard for the tofu. It should be in the fridge." He rubbed the back of his head with the grin still plastered to his face. Raven felt like she wanted to puke. 'Mustard? What in the world is he thinking..' She thought to herself, shaking her head while taking the mustard container out of the fridge and placing it by the stove.
Beast Boy grabbed the mustard, and glomped tons of it onto the now cooking tofu. It set off a foul stench into the air, which would have made Raven fall over if not for Beast Boy standing right there. She didn't want to stand the embaressment, and knew that if she did faint, Beast Boy would be concerned again for her and she didn't want to feel, well...helpless. She pinched her nose slightly, as Beast Boy inhaled deeply.
"Ah! How I love the smell of tofu and mustard in the evening!" He gasped loudly, stretching. He then grinned and took the pans of tofu off of the burner, putting the tofu onto plates. "Lets eat!" He then rushed over and placed the now plated tofu onto the table, and started devouring it. Raven sighed lightly and shook her head. Beast Boy would never be normal, and yet...she paused slightly, looking towards Beast Boy. Mustard dripped from his green pointy-toothed mouth, and he was making loud chewing sounds. She chuckled to herself softly, turning to the cabinets to make herself some tea.
"Dude, Rae! Your missin' out on the best tofu!" He spat out, sending tofu flying in all directions. She just raised a wary eyebrow at him before turning around again, pulling out a small blue cup and a couple of packets of tea. He grinned at the back of her head. She could feel him staring at her, with his mouth dripping with disgusting mustard and tofu chunks. She slanted her eyes at the thought. Making her tea, she stopped at the kitchens entrance.
"Im going to my room for the night. If you need anything, well..yeah. Just come to my door." Raven spoke, holding her cup of tea. Beast Boy wiped his mouth with his napkin and stared at her for a long time, before speaking. "Ok...well...'night Rae." He smiled slightly at her. Raven then did the most un-Raven like thing to do. She walked over to him and ruffled his hair softly, before giving him a slight peck on the forehead. "Thanks for helping me out tonight...You know...On the roof." He blushed deeply, rubbbing his forehead.
"Its nothing Rae! No problem." He replied, patting his hair back down in place. He didn't hear a reply though, just the sound of Ravens soft footsteps walking back down the hallway to her room. He sighed lightly, then took his plates back to the kitchen.
All of a sudden though, he heard a scream..
