Disclaimer: I don't own squat besides a chihuahua and a pug. And my Star Wars blanket, and some other things. No Teen Titans here.
Well, this is awkward, Beastboy thought as he strayed a bit behind Raven as they made their way back towards the T-car. I held her haaaaaand. Beastboy silently gave himself a celebratory fist pump. Finally, finally, he knew what her grey, small hands felt like. Well, it had been on accident. But, accidently was better than nothing. They'd looked soft, but now he knew just how soft—very damn soft. That brief moment had been good enough for him.
Why is he not talking to me? He's usually yapping away, practically nipping at my heels, like an attention-starved puppy. Raven's eyes widened in horror of a sudden realization—Beastboy knew. He KNEW she had been eavesdropping on his conversation. Her heart started pounding so loud, she swore Trigon could hear him in whatever far off inferno he was in.
It's not like he was talking about you, said Comfort. But, that wasn't very comforting.
Raven shook her head, hoping to cause her emotions to get back in check, and started walking with a faster pace. Beastboy kept his pace, and his distance behind her.
"Wasn't the T-car here?" Raven inquired. She jogged to the very spot where she had left a very agitated Robin. Nothing but tire tracks and darkness. No T-car, and no Robin.
"Let me call him," Beastboy said as he pulled out his T-Communicator and dialed.
"Robin here."
"Dude, where the hell did you go?! We came back, and you're gone."
"There were a couple friends that needed a ride up to our spot, I'll be right back. And I mean right back," he said, rather viciously as he hung up.
Raven stared at Beastboy. His mouth was hung open, half in disbelief that Robin hung up on him, half in embarrassment.
"Pfft," Raven said, as she blew her hair from her face using her lower lip. "Who else usually joins you all in your weekly shenanigans?"
"Uh, Aqualad, Speedy, you know, some of the other honorary Titans, well, the ones that can make it.." Beastboy trailed off. He was hiding something from her. She narrowed her eyes at him, but Beastboy found in interest in everything but Raven. Huh. That's funny. Usually he's so engulfed in Raven he doesn't pay much attention to anything else.
He's definitely not telling me something. That little vermin.
"Oh.. Ok.. Well, should we head back or wait?" Raven asked as she tried to summon Calm, but little did she know that Calm had lost an arm wrestling match to Jealousy in the Quake of *checks watch* 12:52 a.m, proving that she, indeed, was at the moment was strongest.
She crossed her arms and looked towards where the path began. Is he not going to answer me, oooooor? One, two, three, fifteen seconds went by. Still no answer.
"Beastboy? Are you not going to respond?" Beastboy stared at Raven, his eyes wide in surprise. Or was he looking past her?
Raven heard the footsteps getting closer. And closer. And stop. Right behind her.
"H-h-hi, Terra," Beastboy said, with a crack in his voice, and even in the dark, Raven could see the pink tinge on his cheeks, and the spot where her heart had dropped to the ground.
