CHAPTER 6 -MAYBE IT'S LOVE
Raven stood silently next to the vanquished Mumbo who lie of the ground, to weak to fight on. Beast boy had gone to fetch the police and Raven was left to guard the old man. A boring task but it had to be done. For a while, Mumbo had merely groaned out of pain but suddenly, the groans twisted into a string of words.
"You know" he croaked, giving Raven a shock. "I think that boy likes you"
He cackled cruelly as Raven blushed.
"I don't know what your talking about" lied Raven, as she felt her throat get unpleasantly dry.
"Oh don't play dumb with me kid! Just 'cause I'm an old wizard doesn't mean I don't know nothing about romance. That boy has a thing for you...and you know it"
Raven's stomach twisted.
"RAE!" Shouted Beast boy, who was running like an ape next to the police cars. He had his fists clenched and he was using his arms to push his body back and forth.
"Aw fooey..." Muttered Mumbo as he listened to the sound of the policeman's sirens.
Raven used her powers to pick up Mumbo as a officer held open the police car door.
"Let's go Mumbo" He said, voice tired and weary. Mumbo responded with closed eyelids and a waving hand.
"I'll be out again before you know it!" he shouted as Raven loaded him carefully into the seat.
"Whatever... you old fruitcake"
"HEY, I HEARD THAT!"
The female officer sighed as the old magician began to paddle his arms on the seat in front.
He cried and cried like a riled up toddler "IT'S NOT FAIR! IT'S NOT FAIR!"
The policewomen proceeded to take off her scarf and wrap it tightly around Mumbo's mouth, silencing the whiny racket.
Temporarily anyway.
"Thank you Titans" she said, turning to face the misfit teens. "Without you Ol' Cranky here could have gone on an early morning crime spree"
Beast boy kindly soaked in the gratitude as he began to brag and gloat and announce to the world that "it's all part of the job". Raven waited politely for the gloating to finish, she then grabbed him by his shirt collar and yanked him away.
"R-r-aven can' breaf" he croaked as the two disappeared into the distance.
The women stood in confusion, then shrugged her shoulders.
"Kids" she mumbled as she turned to face the car.
---------------------
Beast boy watched as one by one, the streetlights went out. He looked up at the sky to see the sunrise, purple and amber twisting together into a swirling beauty. He sighed as his eye lids drooped . He stuck his hands in his pocket and looked at Raven. His heart pounded as it always did. It took a while for him to catch her eye, but when he did she felt his sadness.
"Are you OK?" She asked, but her voice was distorted by a surge of emotion. Raven blushed as she covered her mouth and Beast boy couldn't stop himself from grinning widely.
"Yeh, I'm fine. It's just that..." he trailed off as his smile faded. He lowered his head as he sighed again, his heart heavy.
"Tell me what's wrong" she commanded, her voice stern.
Beast boy raised his head and met her eyes. Big mistake. The sparkling amethyst entranced him and he couldn't stop staring. At the same time, Raven found hard to break free. His forest green eyes had the same hold on her mind. She couldn't look away.
"I-It's-j-just that, that..." He tried to finish his sentence, but as he open his mouth no sound came out "I'ts-j-just that..." he sighed in frustration as he finally broke free from her beautiful glance. He made no eye contact as he finally spoke, though his throat was still dry and his legs were still shaking.
"Coming out with you" he stuttered, voice shaking. "It hasn't turned out the way I hoped..."
"What do mean?"
Beast boy felt his stomach twist.
"I-I-...I wanted to tell you something"
She knew what he was about to tell her. It was her empath intuition.
But she wanted to hear the words from him.
She was tired of hiding from her happiness.
"What did you want to tell me?" she asked, heart heart hammering wildly.
Beast boy sucked up all off his courage, what he was about to say needed to be said to his face. He turned slowly to meet his eyes and he could feel the intensity of her stare. He closed his eyes and found himself facing her.
He opened his eyes and looked at her face...
"I wanted t-to-say that... I wanted t-to-say" He stuttered, teeth chattering.
"OH FOR AZAR'S SAKE! JUST SAY IT!" Raven screamed, running out of all patience.
Beast boy was slightly taken back by her bluntness.
He found the courage to speak.
"I wanted to say that last night did mean something...to me anyway. I did what I did for a reason..." he whispered, cheeks scarlet.
Raven felt Happy faint onto the floor of her mind.
"...wish was?" she asked, her voice barley audible.
"...was wish" he repeated, mouth dry. "...I love you."
Raven's eyes widened as Beast boy continued.
"I'm just took me a while to realize it" he grasp her hand "It's OK if you don't feel the same, I just hope we can stay frien-"
Beast boy's lips were stopped by Raven's. She held one hand on his face and the other on the back of his head. As the initial shock wore way Beast boy reached out and held her waist. He returned the kiss happily and with with great sincerity.
They weren't exactly a story book couple, but right then and now, that didn't matter to either of them...
When the two finally broke away from the kiss they stood silently for a while with there arms around one another. Beast boy was the first to speak.
"Happy Halloween Rae..."
"It's November 1st"
He smiled warmly and kiss her cheek.
"Close enough"
