An Accidental Kiss
Chapter 4
Note: No note this chapter, but thanks for reading the note first.
Soul mates, one soul in two bodies, a match made in heaven. Beastboy knew the word, but only looked at it as just a word. A word for those in love, a word used to describe spouses, but never him and Raven. Until Cyborg made him use the matter between his ears.
Beastboy and Raven's relationship has certainly developed over the past four years, turning from aquatinted teammates into…well, this! They have gone through thick and thin, from a meaningless April fool's gag to something as serious as Terra herself. But yet they still stood strong together, and knowing each other's differences, forgave each other.
"But how in the world can I tell Raven something like this?" Beastboy asked the T.V., still turned on with the video game on it, ready to be played. Beastboy just shrugged with a frown and rose to turn off the game, and when his finger pressed the on/off button, an idea formed in his mind.
"I know!" Said a very energetic Beastboy, he then skipped towards the door.
Meanwhile, in Knowledge's library…
"Well then who summoned me?" Asked a very anxious Raven. Knowledge sighed and lifted her head from her book.
"The emotion who summoned you is an emotion you have not been in contact with lately, one who misses you; she desperately wants to be shown. Now Raven, I must tell you something that we dopplerhangers have been keeping from you," Knowledge raised her hand, offering a seat for Raven, "Please sit," Raven took a seat in a deep cherry chair across from her intelligence.
"Raven, you are not completely emotionless, why, in fact, you show emotion all the time, and that is us being released in various opportunities we can locate. But because of your training with the Azarath monks, we cannot be shown completely, but there is one that can be shown without you losing control of your powers."
"Who?" Raven asked with a hint of confusion.
"Love." Knowledge responded. Just then Knowledge raised her hand and out of nowhere, came a tiny black circle, which evolved into a larger black oval. "She is past this portal, she is waiting."
Raven looked at the portal, then back at Knowledge.
"Are you kidding me, where am I? A romance novel?" Raven spoke while crossing her arms.
Knowledge chucked. "Oh, the sarcasm never fails you, Raven." Knowledge then placed her hand on Raven's shoulder, "Just go." Raven darted her eyes to Knowledge, who wore a big grin on her face. She then leaned toward Raven and whispered, "Beastboy is very charming, and not to mention a good kisser."
Before Raven had any time to respond, she felt a hand shove her into the portal, and she landed face-first on hard pavement.
Meanwhile in titans tower, Beastboy strutted down the hallway with a confident smirk on his face. He was on his way to his room to continue the master plan to tell Raven about his revelation. Cyborg was coming down the hallway also, and then he saw his green friend and his smile stretched across his face.
"What are you thinkin'?" Cyborg asked each word slightly higher than the last.
"Imma tell Raven how I feel for her." Beastboy answered the half-robot, his smile still on his face.
"Now, how to you propose to do that?" Cyborg raised an eyebrow. Beastboy and romantic, now you do not see those words in one sentence every day.
"Ok, dude, imagine, a beautiful sunset, setting the sky a blazing orange, and then on the roof, me and Raven, sitting across from each other, gazing into each other's eyes. We'll be having…well, scratch that I'll be having some tofu, and then I'll make Raven her herbal tea-stuff, and then I'll tell her, and then hopefully…she won't kill me."
Cyborg was amazed with Beastboy's idea, it actually sounded nice. It also showed that Beastboy has matured from the first day they met, and it also showed physically, too. Beastboy's voice deepened and muscles were showing in his skin-tight uniform. Beastboy was changing into a man, and Cyborg was proud. Cyborg placed his hand on Beastboy's shoulder.
"Well, whatever you do, I think she'll spare your life."
"So, you like my idea?" Beastboy asked with sparkles in his eyes.
"Yeah, man."
Raven's face was scratched slightly from the impact of the fall; she looked up and found herself on the top of titans tower. The sky was a blazing orange, and there was a slight breeze in the air. At the edge she saw herself sitting at a small table.
Raven was very confused, she was pondering whether she was still in her mind or not, but she saw herself, but only a part of herself, and her cloak was a light purple.
"Hello, Raven," said the purple-clad emotion, she looked over her shoulder, "come, sit."
Raven did as so, she stared at her long-lost emotion with a hint of happiness, just a hint.
"I am Love, the part of you who cannot hate, or feel anger and the one with benefits." She said with a smirk.
"Wait just a moment, why are we on the roof of titans tower? And are we still in my mind." Raven asked while pointing at Love and her smirk. Love chuckled.
"Of course we are still in your mind, silly! And we are on the roof because this is where you will find me, this is where I will fill you head to toe and I just know you'll love it." Stated little miss purple cloak.
"So this is what you wanted to tell me?" Raven asked in her monotone.
"Not intentionally, what I would like to discuss the accidental kiss," Love told Raven.
"It was nothing, our lips met, yes, but still, it was nothing." Raven said while she looked down at her feet, which were fidgeting like they were earlier this morning. Love merely gave Raven a stare while she lifted her right eyebrow.
"Well, then if it was nothing, please explain to me what you felt throughout your body during the kiss?" Love knew that she was going to win this one. Raven, on the other hand had just hit a revelation. She realized that during and after the kiss, nothing exploded, nothing melted and no one lost a limb due to her powers, and that it was Love that gave her the feeling of the coolness, then the warmth on her and Beastboy's lips. Raven gazed up at her emotion, mouth wide open. Love, still with her right eyebrow raised said, "That was me."
Beastboy was merrily skipping to his quarters, and he had the biggest smile on his face. When he arrived, he walked to his desk, and pulled out a green index card and began to write.
'Raven,
I have a surprise for you, and also something to tell you. If you come I will promise no jokes, no gags, and no interruptions for an entire month. Yeah, it'll be hard for me but it will all be worth it! See you at 6:30 on the rooftop.
Beastboy.'
Beastboy read over his note for some 15 times before finally giving his self-approval. He nodded and then turned into an eagle and flew out his window into Jump city. Luckily, there was a flower shop right on the coast facing titans tower. It definitely was a hole in the wall kind of place, but their flowers were beautiful jewels all by themselves. The owner was a rather handsome Italian man, and a good friend to the Teen Titans, for they saved his shop twice before, and plus, Robin was a regular there.
Beastboy landed swiftly in front of the gleeful owner, then changed back into his human form.
"Beastboy! How are you doing?" Owner Roberto stated with open arms in a thick Italian accent. Beastboy nervously scratched the back of his head, and gave a nice smile.
"Great, Roberto, hey I just need a rose today." Roberto plucked a rose from the vase next to him at the cash register.
"It's a on the house, no need to worry. Say, whose a this a here rose for, heh?" Roberto asked while handing over the fresh red rose to Beastboy.
"Heh. It's uh…for…Raven" Beastboy answered. Roberto's eye went wide open.
"Oh, hey! You a going to get yourself a girlfriend, now are you? Well, ya know, I won my beautiful Irish wife with one red rose. Yes, roses are definitely the flower of love."
Beastboy was in awe, "Just one rose? Do you think I'll be that lucky?"
"Oh, you should never doubt yourself, and just be you, and the flower will do the rest." Roberto said with a wink.
"Well, thanks for the rose and the advice, I really appreciate it." Beastboy kept his smile, then turned back into an eagle, grabbed the rose in his claws, and made his way to titans tower.
Next chapter: Raven finally will learn fully about her new found emotion, and she will use it to her full potential. Beastboy will take a huge leap with Raven from friends to something more. The big romance scene is up next! Please review! Love y'all!
