I don't own Teen Titans.
Chapter 2: Raven Finds Out
(The next morning)
Raven walked through the door to the common room after her morning meditation and found that everyone was at the table eating their own breakfasts. Cyborg had eggs and waffles, Robin ham and eggs, Starfire with some odd mixture of foods that seemed to have mustard lathered all over it, and finally Beast boy who was having a bowl of cereal with soy milk. She walked toward her teammates and greeted them.
"Morning." Was all she said in her usual stoic voice as she walked toward her tea kettle to make her morning tea.
"Hey Raven." Robin greeted her before he resumed eating. Starfire looked up from her meal and floated toward the team's empath.
"Glorious day Raven, is it not?" she asked in her usual strange way. Raven nodded her head as she finished making her tea. She walked toward the table and took a seat in between Beast boy and Cyborg.
"It is Starfire." Raven took a quick glance to her right and saw that Beast boy was eating his food unusually fast.
"Morning Beast boy." Raven said, hiding any trace of emotion in her voice. Beast boy looked up at the empath and gave her a small smile. Raven felt her chest tighten a bit.
"Hey Rae, how are you doing today?" Beast boy said before he finished his cereal and drank up the last remains of the soy milk.
"I'm doing fine, today. Thank you." Raven said. "And my name is Raven, not Rae." Raven corrected him. Beast boy rolled his eyes but the smile never left his face. Throwing his bowl into the sink, Beast boy looked up at the clock and noticed that it was already eleven thirty. He was meeting Mikala at noon and he was going to be late at this rate. Turning around Beast boy addressed the others.
"Alright dudes, I'll see you all later. I'm going into the city to visit someone." Beast boy said as he eyed both Robin and Cyborg. He turned around to get changed into normal street clothes and prepare himself for his date.
"Beast boy wait!" Raven said before he left the room. He looked back at the empath and waited for her to keep talking.
"What?" Beast boy asked, he sounded slightly impatient due to how late he already was. Raven suddenly got nervous.
"I was wondering if I could join you. You know… just so we could…spend time together." Both Cyborg and Robin looked at each other and sighed, they knew Beast boy wouldn't allow Raven to tag along on his date and they knew that as long as he dated this mystery girl Raven wouldn't have a chance with him alone.
Beast boy looked at her, his head was turned sideways and he couldn't believe what he just heard. Raven wanted to spend time with him. That simple fact blew Beast boy's mind, she never wanted to spend time with anyone especially him. Any other time he would be ecstatic and accept her offer in a heartbeat, but he had someone waiting for him; his girlfriend and he didn't want to make her wait.
"Sorry Raven, maybe some other time." Beast boy said before he left the room so he could change for his date.
Raven just stared at the now closed door and sighed. She turned her head and saw that the rest of the team was looking at her. Raven raised an eyebrow.
"What?"
"It's just; we have never seen you actually act on your feelings for friend Beast boy besides the occasional blush and attempts of the hand holding." Starfire explained. Raven looked at her alien best friend with an emotionless look on her face.
"I decided to turn a new leaf. I found my old methods to get his attention were not working. I decided to actually act on my feelings." Raven said with no emotion.
"You better act fast then." Cyborg whispered to Robin who nodded his head.
"What was that?" Raven asked as she turned her head towards the other two. The two boys instantly grew stiff and tried to make up an excuse.
"We were just talking about um… video games." Cyborg lied; Robin nodded his head frantically and tried not to speak. Raven looked at the two boys strangely. Cyborg looked down at his wrist and checked the time. "Look at the time. I need to go upgrade my baby." He said as he quickly exited the common room, leaving the two girls and Robin.
Both girls looked at Robin and waited for him to say something. Robin looked at the girls and suddenly felt uncomfortable. He cleared his throat and drank the rest of coffee.
"Well, I'm going to go train. I'll be in the gym." Robin said trying to get out of the uncomfortable room.
"But Robin, you have already done the training today." Starfire stated. Robin looked at her with a stunned look.
"Is everything alright Robin? You and Cyborg are acting strange ever since Beast boy left the room." Robin fidgeted a little before he looked at the door, he saw a small green mouse turn the corner and head for the stairs to the garage, Beast boy was sneaking through the tower so the girls won't see him all dressed up.
"I um, I'm fine. Just a little too much coffee today I guess. I'm getting the jitters it seems. I'll be in my room if anyone needs me." Robin said trying to find any way to get out of the room.
Raven looked at Starfire and then back to where Robin was just standing. "Is it just me or is there something going on around here that we don't know about. Robin and Cyborg are acting strangely and Beast boy is spending more time in the city than here. Something's going on Starfire." Raven stated as she started to walk to the couch so she could read. Starfire nodded her head before she flew out of the room to find her pet Silkie.
(In the city, ten minutes later.)
Beast boy was walking towards a local street restaurant that had tables outside so couples could enjoy the warm weather. He quickly looked down at his watch and saw that he was on time, he was glad that he was on time. He feared that he was going to be late and that his date would have to wait for him.
"Garfield!" Someone shouted to him from the crowd. He smiled as he saw who had called his name.
There sitting at a table for two was a short brunette girl who smiled brightly at the green hero. As he approached the table, the girl stood up and ran to him, embracing him in a gentle hug. Beast boy hugged her back and looked at the face of the girl. To say she was pretty was an understatement, she was beautiful. Her pale green eyes pierced his emerald ones and he could see how happy she was to see him. Her lightly tanned perfect skin looked absolutely stunning in the sunlight and he could tell she had a small hint of makeup on. Like she needed any, Beast boy thought.
"Hey Mikala, how are you doing today." Beast boy said as he broke the hug and gave her a warm smile. The girl stepped away from him and sat down.
"Better, now that you're here." The girl said still smiling at the green hero. Beast boy took the seat across from her and looked at his menu. He looked up and saw that the girl across from him was still watching him. She had a dreamy look in her eye and the smile never left her face. He smiled back and he felt butterflies in his stomach. Today was going to be a good day.
(Back at the tower, eight hours later)
Raven was sitting on the couch reading as the others were too distracted in their video game. Robin and Cyborg were playing while Starfire cheered them on.
Raven looked up at the clock and noticed that it was nearly eight. Beast boy had been gone all day and he hadn't tried calling anyone, she was beginning to get worried. She dropped her book and turned to the others.
"Has anyone got a hold of Beast boy today? I haven't seen or heard from him since he went into town at noon time. He never stays out this late without telling one of us." Raven said trying to sound calm, but there was a hint of worry that the others had noticed.
"Ah, he's fine. He's probably still on his date with his girlfriend." Cyborg blurted out without thinking. Robin stopped playing and stared at his metal friend his eyes were wide. Cyborg kept playing until he too realized what he just said. His mouth fell open and he looked toward the empath sitting next to him. Raven was staring at him, her eyes were wide and her mouth was open. Cyborg thought he could see tears building up in the corner of her eyes. He winced when he saw the TV crack in half under Raven's sudden outburst. 'Oh crap.' Cyborg thought.
"Beast boy has a girlfriend?" Raven shrieked as her eyes turned from hurt to anger and jealousy.
"Good job, Cyborg." Robin whispered sarcastically as he looked at his angry teammate.
Raven was about to speak when she heard the door open from behind her. In an instant all eyes were on the door. Slowly Beast boy appeared from behind the door and entered the room. He looked toward the couch and saw that everyone was looking at him. Raven was holding a death glare, Starfire was on the brink of tears, and both Cyborg and Robin held looks of worry.
"Hey guys, what's up?" Beast boy asked thoroughly oblivious to what just happened.
"You are in big trouble Garfield Mark Logan." Raven said.
