A Teen Titans Fan-Fiction
Beast Boy and Raven
The song Courage, Robert by Meg and Dia, inspired me to write this story.

"No."
"No? Why not?"
"Because I said so."
"What? That's not a reason, and you know it."
"Fine! Because I don't want to, now leave me alone!"
Yet again, she lied. Truly, she didn't want to disappoint him by turning him down with her unpleasant voice, then getting her blood boiled up, and leaving him standing in the middle of the streets, all alone by himself. She had been watching him surreptitiously for weeks now (and apparently, so did he), and slowly, she discovered his idiotic personality was just a cover-up. She knew, deep down, he did not want to be that way. He wanted everyone to think of him as independent and strong, and he was. No one had even noticed that, except her, that was.
Gradually, she was regretting the words that she had spit out. She knew it was wrong to do so, but she had to, for she had the same feelings for him also. Or rather, she was just disappointed. She wasn't entirely sure if she actually had fallen for him, felt pitied for him, or just merely felt excited that he had feelings for her. Having someone to be "crushing" you is a compliment of a sort. And in this case, that was probably the best compliment she had ever gotten.
He had asked out her twice already. Before he asked her, she knew he liked her, and possibly, he thought she liked him back. Twice, she had regret, and felt bad for the boy. But she would question herself afterwards; "I can't make everyone happy, right?" True, that wasn't possible at all. However, the problem was that not only Gar was in misery, so was Raven.
She, once again, wanted to know what love felt like. What it was like to be around someone that she loved, to be kissed, to miss someone horribly, and to be loved. After suffering from that miserable heartbreak that occurred ages ago, she still had a little side effect from it. She was afraid of what might happen, and yet she wanted to try it again. It was fear that held her back. She had yet to conquer that silly fear of hers.
It amused her as to why and how the boy asked her out. Just about a month ago, she hadn't known of his existence at all, and now he was asking her to be his "girlfriend" (As he had said earlier that week, when he asked her out the second time)? How was it possible? The craziest part of this was that he did not even know her name. So, shouldn't she just be an unimportant person who would have no impact in his life?
However, she knew of his name, not surprisingly. It was said on the tag on top of his work desk: GARFEILD LOGAN. The first time she had seen it, it was just a meaningless name that she not bother to find out whom it had belonged to.
Author's Notes: Well, so much for the "update soon"s. I actually wrote this chapter right after I wrote the first chapter. I thought it was too short and un-editted, so I tried to add more to it. But at the end, I didn't even change a single word.
One of my reviewers, AureliusXsoul, told me that it takes eight years of college to become a librarian. So, uh, sorry about that.
Eh. I am not really proud of this chapter. I know I should have emailed my editor, Kohana, but she seems really busy, and I don't want to bother her.
Thank you for all of those who reviewed.
