Uplifting

Defult Chapter: Deciding ~~~~~ Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters, or anything like that. I just own the plot. ~~~~~ br Just to let you know when I do this: * It means I change to either BB's POV, Raven's or maybe both of their's, just for a heads-up. ~~~~~ br It was just another boring day at Titan's Tower... Beast Boy and Cyborg were facing off at videogames, Starfire enjoying the pleasure of watching, Robin training somewhere, and Raven of course, locked up in her room, as always... br * br "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos... Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos...," a meditating Raven was repeating. Raven's eyes jolted and slightly she gasped, at the knock of her door. The telikinetic arose from her her postition and opened the door, just enough to be ajar. She sighed at the sight of a smiling Beast Boy and replied dully in return, "WHAT, do you want?"

"Sorr-y, Miss Prissy Pants, didn't mean to disturb you...," mumbled Beast Boy in an unfriendly tone, the smile dissaparing from his face.

"Excuse me?,"Raven asked sounding suprised, slipping out of the door, and crossing her arms.

"Nothing!," 'I should've known better than to toy with her like that...' Remembering what happened when she, in his words, "Fried Dr. Light", he put the smile back on his face as a friendly gesture. "Uhhh... We're gonna' go to the park. Wanna' come?," He asked nervously scratching his head.

"No, thank you...," Raven trailed off. She had answered before she had really even gave herself time to think. 'But really... Who can resist that face?' She told herself gazing into BB's emerald green eyes.

"What? Do I have something on my face?," asked BB sounding alarmed, his cheeks turning a light shade of pink. Raven shook her head vigarously.

'Snap out of it, Raven!' she scowled at herslef. 'There is nothing cute about him... Nothing.'

"Oh, back to the point. PLEEEEASE will you come?", pleaded BB clasping his hands tightly together and kneeling on the ground. Raven raised an eyebrow and appared to look satisfied with what she had just heard.

"Why do you care so much if I come?," She replied.

Beast Boy jumped up and scratched his head, yet again. "Uhh... Um... I-I don't it's just...", BB was fishing for words floating around somewhere in his head for an excuse, "Well, I DO care coz', ya' know, it's what friends do, they hang out and stuff and we haven't really been doin' much of that, so I guess-"

"I get your point." Raven cut him off. "Fine, I'll come if it means that much to you." Raven rolled her eyes while trying to hide a smile.

"Ehe- Well, meet you downstairs!" And with that BB was dashed away. br * br "What was that all about?," Raven whispered to her self aloud. "Does he...?" 'Impossible.' She decided to speak in her mind instead. 'It can't be. We're just friends, is all. And- Like he said. That's what friends do. Hang out. But... Then why would... Why would he want me to come with him that much?' Before she knew it all of her emotions were batteling amongst one another: 'He likes me! No, he can't "like" ME I'm just Raven and he's, he's Beast Boy- But he wanted me to go to the park with him! That doesn't prove anything-'

"AHHHH!", Raven screamed. Her head was throbbing by now and was sure she was going to completely lose it.

She didn't know what it was about Beast Boy, but whenever he gave her that "uplifting smile of his, she felt a warm, fuzzy feeling inside that made her feel... Happy. Trying to calm herslef down, so that nothing dangerous would happen Raven turned on her heel and walked briskly into the room repeating, "Peace, quiet, tranquility..." as Starfire had done when they were trapped inside eachother's bodies. She knew it was a little, well... Idiotic for her, considering she was usually able to contain her own feelings, but sometimes she actually found it a bit helpful. But... now was not one of those times. Walking into her room everything around her started lifting from off the ground.

"Am I... In love?" br * br Beast Boy was downstairs by now and casually leaning against the counter top in the kitchen, just... Thinking.

'What's with me? Why am I acting like this? I mean, I totally turn into, like, this big glob around her! WHY?!?!?!?' BB thought long and hard about this particualar subject. The particular subject of: Raven. 'Just teenage hormones, I guess... No wait, then I would be noticing Star, too... But, it's just Raven... Just Raven...' BB got lost in his own thoughts. Thinking about those beautiful glistening violet eyes, that drool-worthy body of hers, and who can he forget? Her personality. That was the best part. Raven was so centered and made her life look so easy. Even though, after the encounter inside of her mirror he knew she had some issues.

"Uhhh.... Beast Boy... BEAST BOY." Robin was waving his hand in front of BB's face for the past couple seconds and was apparently attracted by the glazed look over his eyes.

"Huh? What?," asked BB snapping back into reality.

"You had this really weird look on your face. Almost like..."

"Almost like what?", replied BB trying to act smart.

Robin sighed and turned away. "Nevermind."

BB leaned forward a little. Just as Robin started to walk away he said quietly and gave a soft chuckle,"Almost like I'm in love? Yeah... I know."

~~~~~ That's it for the Defult Chapter. I need to get at least five reviews for each chapter to update. That's my rule.... Hehe. br ~~~~~ I write too many stories like this don't I...? Like the Ron/Hermione (Harry Potter) romance I did. Oh well, this one is probably going to be updated more than that fic so, don't worry. Tehe. :0 ~~~~~
