Beast Boy hands shook as he walked up the stairs to the roof. He was so nervous about telling Raven that he loved her. With Cy advice in the back of his head, he decided that he just was going to be honest. No more beating around the bush. He was going to make it right. He had to. Taking a deep breath he muttered, "Here goes nothing." He open the door to the roof. He squinted his eyes at the bright sun. He step up onto the hard ground and looked to see her sitting on the side of tower. With his heart pounding he made his way over to her.
-
Raven dressed quickly. She was eager to get this conversation over with. She picked up the nearest thing she could find on her floor. She hadn't had time to pick up the clothes or books that had been thrown this morning. She decided her black work out pants and a pain t shirt would work. After dressing herself, using her powers she picked up all the items that was on her floor. She sighed realizing it was time to go confront Beast Boy. She teleported herself up to her favorite spot. Sitting down she looked around, he hadn't arrived yet. She looked out at the horizon. The sun was just getting ready to set and the light touched softly on the tower. Taking a deep breath she calmed her nerves.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos" she said softly to herself. She instantly felt better. She wondered why she hadn't done it sooner. The door opened and as if taunting her, her heart sped up. He sat down by her his heart beating just as fast. She didn't look up she just kept her eyes forward. She knew if she looked at him her heart may explode inside her chest.
"Hey." He said softly She gave him a slight nod but didn't say anything. This made him feel more nervous. He knew he have to be the one who did all the talking. Gulping he pushed down the lump that was stuck in his throat.
"I just I wanted to say I'm sorry." he apologized to her. She didn't move the only muscle that seemed to be moving was her heart. He sighed not getting anything from her. "I really am sorry Rae, I didn't mean it I just..." He paused. He wanted to choose his words carefully.
"You make me crazy." he finally said. This got her attention she slightly turned her head a questioning look formed on her face. Seeing her finally responding to something he continued, "I'm so crazy about you and it makes me crazy that you're with Lucas and not me." He didn't know that she had broken up with Lucas. She opened her mouth to tell him but shut it as he continued to explain himself.
"I'm sorry that I acted like an immature baby about it. I should have told you sooner but I was really stupid. I'm sorry that I wasn't more welcoming of him and I'm sorry that I told you that he wasn't good enough for you. and if he truly makes you happy then..." he paused shifting his gaze "I'm happy for you." he finished. The tone in his voice suggested that even though he was trying to be sincere it came out sounding quite opposite. She had turned her head was watching him. Robin's voice played in her head over and over.
'Tell him.'
"So I'm sorry about everything." He spoke his voice was quiet he wanted her to know he was truly sorry for everything. "Well actually I'm not sorry about our kiss. I would never be sorry for kissing you." His eyes glanced at her. She looked so beautiful in the sun light. The sun touch her cheek and hair softly. Her violet eye sparkled and he instantly wondered how it was possible for someone to have such amazing eyes. He was so happy that he had asked her to roof. The view was really spectacular.
"Please forgive me. So we can try to go back to being friends again." he pleaded "I miss you Rae." A small smile crept on her face as he said this. Noticing this his chest began to buzz, feeling like he was actually going to be able to fix things. "And I just want you to know that I'm going to be better with Lucas. I don't-"
"I broke up with Lucas." She stated cutting him off. Her eyes stared at him wanting to see a reaction from him. His breath caught in his throat. His mouth hung open. He stared at her his mind raced with thoughts. His mouth and brain seem to be broken and he couldn't form words. What did this mean? Was she finally his?
"You-" he started he licked his lips "You brok-" "Lucas?" he stuttered.
"You should stop trying talk and just kiss me." She replied. He smiled a big toothy grin at her.
'God she's beautiful.' He thought as he leaned in. Slowly he gently kissed her. His lips were so soft against hers. Instantly they both felt fireworks going off in their heads. Her hand gently brushed his face. Her finger tips sending little sparks of excitement. She pulled away first and Beast Boy couldn't help but feel a little bit sad that their kiss had ended so quickly. He noticed she looked at the ground almost embarrassed at something.
"Is something wrong?" He asked worried he had somehow screwed up once again. Her lips form a straight line but she shook her head. "Something is wrong Rae, tell me." he begged. Biting the side of her cheek she looked into his green emeralds.
"I'm just worried I guess." She answered. Her eyes began to search his hoping for reassurance and comfort.
"What about?" He asked again trying to understand.
"I'm worried that you're making a mistake." He frowned in confusion. He didn't feel like he was making any mistakes right now. Seeing his puzzled face she continued, "I know I'm not one of those funny, bubbly, follow you around fan girls. I know, you know I'm not one of those girls either. So I just think your making a mistake pursuing me." He gave her a small smile.
"You know for being so smart you kinda of act dumb sometimes." He joked. She narrowed her eyes at him not finding him funny at all. "First off if I wanted someone to follow me around I'd buy a dog or no I'd be a dog and follow myself around." He chuckled. "Second I like you for you Raven. I like how little your hands are, I like when your really into one of your books the corner of you lips will turn up showing off a small smile. I like how in the morning you smell like tea and honey and at night you smell like lavender. I just-" He paused looking at her lips wanting her to understand. "I'm pretty much screwed in pursuing because sure I'm already falling for you." he said softly putting his hand on her cheek he leaned in and kissed her again. His kiss silenced all her fears instantly. She just feel like she was floating as he continued to kiss her.
Instead of pulling away she welcomed his kiss her arms wrapping around his neck. This was all he needed leaning into her, he twisted his body so that he was gently pushing her down on to her back. Both their legs still hung off the edge of the tower. Using his arm he propped himself so he could kiss her with ease. It wasn't the most comfortable position for him but he didn't care. Raven was laying completely on her back as her hands ran through his hair. Pressing close to her he deepen the kiss. She moaned into his mouth which made him only want her more. She was positive he could feel her heart through her shirt it was pounding so hard. They continued to kiss tasting each other. Beast Boy's free hand had moved from just resting on her hip, to slowly moving to the edge of her shirt. He slowly pushed his hand up gently his fingers brushed against her velvet skin. He could feel her skin respond to his touch with goosebumps. Smiling as he kissed her his hand made another inch up her shirt.
'Oh god.' Raven thought her dream instantly come back to her. His hands, his lips all over her skin. Her hand instantly snapped away from his hair and was pulling on his wrist. Pulling away he looked at her realizing that she had stopped his wandering hand.
"Too fast." she breathed her eyes closed for a second trying to keep all her powers in check, before opening again. He had removed his hand and was holding up it defensively.
"Sorry." he said giving a embarrassed chuckle. "Like I said you make me crazy. I sometimes forget what I'm doing." He replied trying to cover himself. She gave him a small smirk knowing fully what he was doing. He smiled again at her, he wonder if he'd ever stop smiling now.
"I just don't want to rush anything." She commented she slowly sat up and noticed that the sun had said it goodnight and the moon was just starting to come up.
"Of course." He said understanding her completely. "I absolutely agree. I would never want to make you uncomfortable."
"Thank you." she replied. They sat in silence watching the moon slowly rise. For the first time in a long time Raven felt happy. She actually felt okay with silence. She smiled to herself it was funny how she felt completely at ease with him.
"I mean what I said before." He whispered. He leaned in to her ear smelling her sweet lavender hair. "You deserve someone who will make you happy and if you let me, I want to be that someone." He purred in her ear. He pulled away looking at her waiting for her answer. Raven blushed at his words. She looked at the moon appreciating it beauty. She sighed and stood up. Offering her hand to him he took it and she helped pull him up which was more of his effort then hers.
Taking his arms she wrapped them around her waist. She liked being close to him. She put both hands on his cheeks replied,
"Please don't ever let me go again." Then she kiss him. It was soft kiss not like that one they had just a few minutes ago. He pulled away and smiled. He was so happy he couldn't have asked for a better night. 'Oh trust me Raven it will never happen again.' he thought
"I was actually wondering if you wanted to go on a date? maybe tomorrow?" He asked suddenly. He gave her sheepish smiled feeling silly all of the sudden. She looked down thinking about her last date.
"As long as there is no popcorn involved." She answered. His eyebrows raised wondering what she could possibly mean but before he could say another thing she had turned and was already to the door. "Tomorrow." She repeated then she slipped through the door.
He wore a stupid grin on face as his head began to play in rewind. "Tomorrow Rae." He whispered. Then he made his way to the door humming to himself.
