Ch 15 Part 2

On the way to her room Raven got a call on her communicator. Closing the door behind her, she answered the call. "Hello."

"Raven, is everything ok?" asked Violet.

"Yes, there were just some things the Titans and I needed to discuss. So, are you and uncle Craven ok?"

"We're fine. We were worried about you and your friends, but you all handle yourselves quite well in battle."

"Yeah well if it weren't for out train obsessed leader, I don't think we would have become as strong as we have."

Violet smiled. "So, we were thinking of having you and Beast boy over tomorrow for dinner to celebrate your relationship?"

"Oh uh that sounds nice but you really don't have to go to all that trouble."

"It's a tradition that has been passed in your family for years now. Every time someone in our family got serious with someone, they'd been invited over to the house to celebrate."

"That's an interesting tradition," said Raven. "We'll be there."

"All right sweetie see you tomorrow," said Violet.

"See you tomorrow," said Raven as she smiled before she ended the call.

"What are we doing tomorrow Rae?"

"Ah! BEAST BOY!" she yelled.

"Sorry, I thought I'd surprise you," he smiled.

"With a heart attack," she said as she clutched her chest.

"My bad Rae, are you mad?"

Raven's face soften at how cute he looked."No," she said as she smiled and took his hand. "Just don't do that again."

"Gotcha yah. So where are we going tomorrow?"

"My aunt invited us over to dinner to celebrate your relationship. Turns out it's a life long tradition in my family."

"Oh cool, sounds great," he smiled.

"Are you all right?"

He laughed. "Actually I was thinking if you were ok. I mean you killed your brothers yesterday."

"They may be blood, but I wouldn't call them family. You've seen what they can do. How could I ever love something so evil? Honestly I don't want talk about yesterday anymore," she sighed, "well accept for those impressive skills in battle. Who knew you were so graceful and precise?"

"We're you watching me Rae-Rae?" he asked as he wiggled his eyebrows at her.

She blushed, rolled her eyes, and then she smirked. "I'm the girlfriend. I can watch you as much as I want."

BB leaned in and kissed her cheek. "I guess that goes for me to Rae," he said as he sat back, watching as a book flew across the room. "Oh um sorry about that," he said as he got up to get the book, putting it on her desk.

"It's ok," she said as he sat down beside her. She didn't know why she felt so nervous. This was still Beast boy accept for the fact that he was her boyfriend. She noticed him looking at her and blushed. "What?"

"I like being here in your room like this. Usually you're throwing me out. I hope we have more time like this just hanging out in your room, which kind of got me thinking I should probably decontaminate my room so we can spend time there."

"I would like that," Raven smiled.

"So," he said, "you want to make out?" he asked as he showed off his dazzling smile. He was more surprised when she laughed at him. "Uh, is that a yes or a-he was interrupted by Raven's lips on his as he brought her closer to his body.

They separated to catch their breaths as they smiled at each other until they both saw the state of Raven's room. Raven could see Beast boy's ears lower in sadness. "It's all right Garfield. I just have to be smarter about controlling my emotions. I'm sorry."

"For what?" he asked in confusion.

"I-I don't want to hold you back. There are-

"No Raven, don't even say that! I don't want anyone else but you. I love you, so you can forget about getting rid of me. I'm not leaving. I'm in this forever Rae. Now you have to decide if it's worth it to you. I'll be fine, I can take care of myself when it comes to your emotions. You need to trust me," he said as he held her hands with a strong grip.

"I do. I love you Garfield," she said as she kissed him softly on the lips. "I want to be with you to, forever."

BB kissed her right back on the lips and then looked around the room. "Do you want me to help clean up?"

"No, that's all right. I know where everything goes. I'll see you later."

"Later Rae," he said as he walked out the door and disappeared into the hall.
