Otay finally chapter ten. Hooray procrastination! Enjoy, the ten readers that actually come back, I love you to death 3
A couple of days later, Raven was roaming the tower, the day far from begun. She had woken up early; she had a strange feeling that there was a reason for her early rising, so she didn't fall back asleep, but instead got up and washed her face, the clock reading "4:24". She was still in her pajamas, purple sleeping shorts and a black tank top, while she dragged throughout the rooms of the tower, rubbing her face to try and counter the sleepiness. She hadn't realized it until now, but her hear beat was fast and she felt strangely...nervous. She couldn't hide her anticipation for what ever was going to happen.
Meanwhile, up in Beast Boy's room, he sat on the edge of his bed, his breathing heavy and sweat drenching his face. He had woken up from a dream; he remembered it vividly. He was just walking down some unidentifiable street, and Raven was on the other end. She had noticed him, and started walking towards him,a small smile on her, and now his, face. As they got closer to each other, her smile grew, and her stance was more welcoming, and he wanted to run faster, but didn't want to scare her off. Just as they were about to finally reach each other, a silhouetted figure came right in between them, and Raven walked away with him, not looking back to Beast Boy.
He hated the thought of losing her to someone; anyone. He knew exactly what he had to do, and he was so fired up from his discovery that he couldn't bring himself to go back into bed, so he paced around his room, wearing just his plaid boxers. He felt to confined in his room, so he headed out into the hallway, and began fast walking around the tower, hoping to kill some energy so he could fall back asleep. When he found his way to the main room, he found Raven on the couch, completely asleep. He jumped back a bit, not expecting to find anyone else awake at 4:45 in the morning. He composed himself, and cautiously sat next to her on the couch, and for what it seemed like hours, watched her sleep.
Raven shifted, and wriggled around, waking up from her short nap. She just opened her eyes, not sitting up. "Shit," she mumbled to herself. "I totally missed it, didn't I? Auugrhh-" She was interrupted by her hands bumping into another person, and she immediately sat up. "Dude, chill, it's just me," Beast Boy said to her, hiding a laugh.
"Oh," she said.
"I hope you didn't miss it," he said. "Do you have any idea what 'it' was?"
She shook her head no. He rubbed his chin in fake thought. "Well, I think I have something pretty cool to tell you," He said, his voice shaking a bit at the end, suddenly becoming aware of the fast pace that his heart was beating at. "What," she mumbled tiredly. "Weeeeellll..." He said to her, smiling a bit. "I, well I, I kind of think that..." He giggled to himself, realizing how excited she was getting from the suspense he was creating. "I think I love you. Like kind of a lot..." He trailed off at the end, getting more and more embarrassed, rubbing his neck and avoiding her eyes. She sucked a breath in when he said it, and quickly covered her mouth, and looking the other way as well.
They looked over cautiously at one another; Raven's stomach dropped, and Beast Boy's face flushed. "Erm," she said to him. Suddenly, she felt a rush come through her entire body, coming from her stomach to her throat and spinning through her head, all together taking less than a second. She didn't realize what she was doing, she just knew she should. She grabbed the back of his neck, and placed her lips against his, running one of her hands up to his face, and kissing him harder. He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her tighter to him, hoping this was her and him, not something Lust made her do.
She detached from him, her breathing rough and her heart beating loudly in her chest. He looked at her; he knew exactly what was gonna happen next. Raven apologizes, and yells at herself, and then the two don't speak for days. He wanted so much for the two too finally resolve this; did she feel the same way about him? Or would he have to keep his distance until she can muster a word again? She interrupted his thoughts with some unidentifiable sound from her throat. He looked right at her; it made her more nervous than before. Her face flushed red, and she looked down at her lap, and muttered out, "I love you too..."
There was a long silence, making her stomach drop. "UHRUUGHEHGREUGHRUEGEHGUHREGU" Beast Boy suddenly exclaimed. He looked right in her eyes, his face bright red, and a wide smile across his face. "Really!" He asked her, practically bouncing. "Uhhh...yea," She said awkwardly, wriggling in her place. He closed his mouth, hiding all of his teeth except one, and he grabbed her suddenly, wrapping her in his long, warm arms. "Rae...Rae...I love you so much," He mumbled to her, not loosening his grip. He rocked the two of them back in forth, and she wrapped her arms around him finally, burying her face in his warm, bare chest and inhaling, secretly expecting him to smell, and silently letting one tear escape from her eye, and Beast Boy felt it as it trickled down his chest, reassuring him.
ERM LEIK LATER
Beast Boy wriggled slightly, his head crammed between the couch cushions. His entire chest felt hot, which was rather strange, considering the fact that he had no shirt on. He got his head out, and moved his hands to realize they were wrapped around Raven's waist, and she was completely buried in his chest, sleeping soundly. He looked away, embarrassed when he remembered the night/morning prior. He went to get up; he silently cursed his bladder, but when he thought about that area...He wriggled a bit more noticeably now, realizing that Raven was completely pressed against every inch or his body. He very gently moved her small frame, sitting up in the process.
After what seemed like hours of wriggling a sleeping Raven off of himself, Beast Boy got up to go to the bathroom, the clock now reading "7:30". He stepped in the shower afterwards, and jumped at how cold the water felt against his hot chest. Around ten minutes later, Raven slowly stirred awake, noticing the heat gone away from her body, the heat the kept her asleep for so long. She stretched and sat up, still feeling giddy about the night before. She got up, and wobbled off towards the bathroom, rubbing her face and running her fingers through her messy hair.
Beast Boy stepped out of the shower then, and put his shorts back on before heading out into the hallway, hair and chest still wet from his shower. He saw Raven walking down the hall, and at the same time she saw him. She drifted off to the side, awkwardly smiling. He shifted to the same side, ending up right in front of her, and purposefully bumping into her. "Em," She muttered, and he wrapped his arms around her waist, then trailing up to her back and puling her into him. They stayed like that, Raven's arms twitching, wanting to hold him, but wanting to shower as well. "Can I please..."
"Yes ma'am," He said, and released her. He smiled, and walked away without another word.
She just walked forward, looking down at the ground, and went into the bathroom, her face hot and her entire body sweaty. Beast Boy, on the other hand, walked down the hallway, and headed back to his bedroom, flopping on his bed and curling in a ball, drifting asleep. After she had finished her shower, Raven proceeded to do the same, and the two of them slept hard until about 2 hours later, when the alarm went off.
After the whole day had ended, the Titans all arrived back at the tower, worn out and hungry. Robin and Starfire had ducked out mysteriously when they got home, not going unnoticed by the other Titans. Cyborg just rolled his eyes, and turned to turn on the game console, an indirect invitation for Beast Boy to play with him. Raven just walked off silently, and headed for her own room. Beast Boy took her reassuring smile as a dismissal, and ran off. Raven, now in her room, sat cross legged, and started to levitate, chanting to herself. She felt a sharp pain in her lower back, and flopped onto her butt, losing her concentration. She brought her hands back to the source of the pain, and yelped when she found a short needle sticking out of her back. She panicked, and tried pulling it out herself, but pricked her finger, and ran immediately out of her room. She thought back to the fight earlier in the day; she had been thrown onto the ground often, so she assumed that it was just a piece of scrap metal. "Ooh, oh God...I hope I don't get some nasty disease from this," she mumbled to herself as she headed down to the main room.
"BEAST BOY!" She yelled as soon as she arrived in the room. "Come with me NOW." She ran back towards her room, and Beast Boy looked at Cyborg before hastily following. When he got there, he sucked in a harsh breath. Raven was belly down on top of her bed, her entire back completely exposed, only obscured by the straps of her black bra. "Pick this fucking needle out of my back," she sneered, "please." He rubbed his face, and murmured a reply, and placed his hands gently on her sides, and started tracing her curves with one hand, the other hovering over the point of the needle. "Gar, would you please..." She started to say angrily, but stopped when he gently placed a hand on her head and pushed it back down. "Shshshshshhh," He said jokingly. He continued to trace her side gently, putting her in some kind of trance, and pulled the needle out, extracting no reaction from Raven. He poked the back of her head, and displayed the needle.
She smiled, and sat up, still hiding her front side from him. "Thanks," she said quietly. "Now turn around." So Beast Boy stood up, and listened as Raven's clothes rustled, quietly putting her shirt back on. He was still turned around, focused on his thoughts, and Raven slowly crept up behind him, and poked her fingers into his sides. He jumped with a "MEEP!", and Raven giggled loudly. He turned to her, trying to hide a smile, and grabbed her by the waist, and picked her up off the ground, so her feet were hovering four inches from the floor. "...What are you doing, Gar?" she asked, monotonously. "Revenge," he said with a smirk. They stayed like that for a while, him holding her and her wriggling to get free. Finally, he pulled her into him, and squeezed her tight before quietly talking to her. "We should go out soon," He said. "Our official first date." She nodded, and he bit her ear gently before turning and walking out of the room, a triumphant smile on his face. "Tch," Raven said, but she couldn't hide the smile spreading wide across her face.
