Rain - It's raining, It's pouring

Beast Boy paraded around the rooftop. Although older and much taller than Raven (which she'd quickly deny), he still behaved like a child. His kid-like behavior was almost refreshing to her. He held his hands out, relishing in the cool touch of rain pattering against his green skin. Beast Boy stomped through puddles, enjoying the squished rubber sound his boots made when they hit the concrete. Perhaps it had been the many animalistic urges inside of him that genuinely found contentment whilst being drenched in rain. Or, because it reminded him of his younger days, feeling so free and open. He had a piece of mind whenever he was alone.

Rain did not bring the common downpour that Jump City needed, but a sense of cleanliness and redemption. Rain allowed him to drown away sorrows and start anew. The moisture of the air thickening, storm clouds accentuating the dank climate.

So Beast Boy strode through the roof, leant his arms against the ledge, and watched in amazement as the city lights across the skyline flickered to life. This signaled the beginning of nighttime. He gave a relieved sigh and inhaled the fresh scent of the bay, feeling at ease as the waves lapped over the rocks. An alerted, pointy ear shot up, twitching as the silhouette behind him grew closer. A smile delicately tugged at his lips and spread across his face.

"You're going to get sick," she warned. Eyes narrowed at the horizon. Raven kept a calm tone, deadpanned expression glued to her face. She couldn't fool him, however. Part of her warning was out of mere concern, other was curiosity. He shrugged, unfazed by the droplets of rain soaking his hair.

"You don't like it?" She quirked an eyebrow, unsure of his inquiry. "The rain. The feel, the taste!" Beast Boy stuck out his tongue, allowing a few sprinkles of water to envelop around his outstretched tongue.

"Can't say I'm a big fan of getting a cold and forcefully drying myself off due to current soggy weather conditions," she pointed out. Beast Boy jokingly rolled his eyes to the side. If there was one person who could, Raven would win for most sarcastic remarks. Thoughtfully scratching his chin, he came up with a few conclusions.

"There's gotta be something you like about the rain!" he insisted.

Raven folded her arms. Brows knitted together in interest. "Such as?"

"I dunno," Beast Boy began. There had to be some good within the predicament. "You could dance in the rain, play in it, run around in it, you could.."

"I could get out of it." Raven bitterly pursed her mouth, feeling around for the hood of her cloak. Hastily sliding it above her head, she placed a hand on her hip. "There's nothing special about being in the rain."

"Eh, I guess," he shrugged. Small hopeful glint in his eyes, he goofily grinned. "Or, you could do cool stuff like this.."

Gently pulling her waist closer to his body, pressed in a tight hold. He cupped her face, bringing it closer to his, softly planting his dampen lips on her own. The frigid temperature numbing her as a shiver of warmth coursed through her veins. An enlarged grin, tugging at his mouth, pressed against hers.

Pulling away after a moment, he decided it was best to lead the cold empath out of the rooftop area that now faced heavy rainfall. Perhaps she'd warm up to a cup of tea, or he could engage in another round of Gamestation. Whatever worked best.

"So how about that rain? It's awesome, right?" He joked, wiggling his eyebrows.

"I'm more of an overcast person." With reddened cheeks hidden beneath the darkness of her hood, Raven walked ahead, leaving the smirking changeling to catch up.

He continued to enjoy the water sliding down his skin and eventually heaved a loud sneeze, causing him to jump inches off the ground. Wiping his nose, Beast Boy groaned while walking through the exit, "Aw, dude, I am getting sick."

Maybe the rain had it downsides, but it certainly had some upsides too.
