To the song: Ooh by Jon Bellion


No one is perfect.

But those small smiles and cheeky smart ass replies he got from Raven always made his heart skip a beat in such a strange way that no one else ever could make it. The sharp words were always a quick response, but they were so fitting to who she was that he couldn't imagine her saying anything different. He could always tell it was meant in sarcastic nature, that her snark wasn't something to be taken seriously. Anyone from the outside wouldn't understand her deadpan humor though, which meant it was something he would get to keep to himself. Just like the tender moments.

Her smiles, her genuine smiles just made his heart soar. Her laugh was a sweet tinkling noise that he could listen to all day. Sometimes the laughing happened for good reason (because he was too funny for words and she absolutely should've been laughing at his jokes), sometimes it happened for absolutely dumb things. That one was a different laugh. A more genuine one, seldom heard. Extremely infectious. If it meant he'd get to hear it, he'd let dumb, apparently hilarious, things happen to him all the time. (It wasn't as if he intended to burn his finger on a hot glue gun and catch the paper the finished projects were being put on with the still wet glue stuck to him, thus yanking it out and spilling paper projects all over the floor, but any time she even thought of it or tried to explain the story aloud, she fell into a noiseless laughter that left her gasping for breath.)

Her tears were inevitable as she was still half human. They were something that happened and made his heart ache. The vulnerability that only he got to see made him yearn to be ever closer to her. He wanted to take away any pain she felt and let her only be happy. Happy to be with him, happy with their friends, happy to be alive. Just happy. When she had been unable to save a helpless dog in destruction's path, her tears rained down for days and all he could do was sit there and hold her until she no longer had any tears, or she had to bite down and bear it in front of the others. Some days she just felt sad and the tears spilled down her cheeks for no apparent reason other than she felt sad.

Her eyes glimmered and every time he looked into them, he couldn't help but fall more and more in love with her. They were full of secrets. Secrets of what she had seen, what she knew. They never missed a thing, and they were so easy to get lost in. He would get lost in them forever if he could, the pools of violet. That much eye contact made her easily embarrassed, however, and would result in hiding of her face or playfully punching him to get him to stop staring at her. Perhaps out of some fear that he may figure her out and then the mysterious air about her, and the reason for his intrigue would be gone. That would never happen though. He would always be too excited about getting to know her and learn new things about her.

Her attitude toward everything seemed rather indifferent, like nothing ever mattered, but everything mattered so much. Behind doors and away from watchful eyes, Raven could talk for hours about the things she adored. The books she read, the people she met through them. Her favorite foods, her favorite people, everything she loved. Him. It was always his favorite thing to see.

Perfection was impossible to attain. No one could be perfect. But Raven was pretty damn close in his eyes.


A/N: This one is super short. I could not think of anything for this one, even though I chose this song. I used to use it to dance to and that's all I could think of while attempting to write stuff. It's barely over 500 words, but it's something. Hopefully the next one will be better? And longer?

Also a quick reminder that Supernova. Iris (get rid of the space between the . and the I, for some reason it won't let me put her actual account name in here) is doing this with RobxStar with all the same song prompts. Would recommend checking her out for sure, she's a fantastic writer :)
