The next morning around 10:00, Cy was up making breakfast. He was making
scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese and chives, grits, sausage, bacon, and
of course waffles. The smell of breakfast woke up Raven. She took her
normal morning shower, then put on her dark purple robe and slippers and
headed into the kitchen.
"Good morning Sleeping Beauty." Cy said with a smile.
Raven just rolled her eyes, then went and say at the table. Cy followed her with two plates full of food. He handed her one before he sat down next to her.
"So, how did you sleep?" Cy asked.
"Fine. Why?"
"Well because you woke me up...twice, and you were talking in your sleep. All I heard was 'Don't leave me." He said knowing that he heard far more than that.
Raven was about to take another bite, but when she heard that she stopped and looked at Cy.
"What? Is there something on my mouth?" He asked.
"No. I'm just wondering what you heard me say."
"All I heard you say was 'don't leave me."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Don't lie to me Cyborg." She said looking right into his eyes.
"I'm not."
She stayed looking into his eyes for a few seconds more, then went back to eating. Neither one said another one until breakfast was finished.
"Well, I'm going to go work on the T-Car. Wanna help me?"
"Sorry. I have to meditate."
"Okay, well I'll see you later."
Cyborg and Raven went their separate ways. Cyborg to the garage, Raven to her room. Raven started to meditate, but couldn't because she was still thinking about Cyborg hearing her talk in her sleep.
"I know that he heard more. Does he know that I lo-"Raven said before cutting herself off.
"UGH! Great, now I can't concentrate. I'm going to ask him again, and this time he had better tell the truth."
She walked to the garage where Cyborg was working on the T-Car. He was listening to music while installing a few more speakers. She didn't say anything at first when she saw him. She just kept looking at his hands, she drifted away again remembering when she helped him rebuild the T-Car. It was those hands that wiped away the grease on her face and moved her hair out of face before he leaned in to kiss her, but was cut off by Robin checking on them. Even though they were metallic, they felt human when they rubbed against her face.
"Oh hey Rae! Came to help after all huh?" Cyborg said, snapping her out of her trance.
"Um, no. I came to-"She said, but was cut off by Cy's communicator.
"Hell-Oh my gosh!" Cy exclaimed, when he saw who was on the other side.
It was his favorite role model, Superman! Cyborg was as giddy as a schoolgirl when he saw that the Man Of Steel was calling him!
"Y-You're Superman!" Cy said as Raven walked away.
"Yes, and you must be Cyborg. I've heard a lot about you."
"You have?"
"Yep, from Robin. I hear that I'm your favorite, well I've heard about you too and I admire you."
"You do?!"
"I admire how have you've risen above everything that's been thrown your way. I'm sorry that you couldn't make it this year, but maybe next year we'll be able to talk."
"You got it!"
"Good, well I'll see you next year." Superman said before hanging up.
"Oh my gosh! Superman actually called me! This calls for a celebration, and there's only one way to celebrate such a momentous occasion...waffles!" Cyborg said before heading inside to the kitchen.
When he was in the living room, he looked around to see where Raven was. He wanted to tell her about everything, but she was no where to be found.
"Oh well, I'll tell her later." He said before he started making his waffles.
Raven was in her room, or should I say in her mind to be more specific. She was finally able to meditate.
"Azartah, Metrion, Zinthos. Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos." She chanted as she entered her mind. It was quiet and peaceful, just how she loved it. One hour passed, Cyborg had just finished his waffles and went to check on Raven.
"She's probably in her room. I'll go see if she wants to go somewhere." He said as he headed to her room.
Raven's peace was ended by the same thing, or should I say emotion that kept her from concentrating yesterday. Love came up behind her, but Raven still didn't want anything to do with her.
"Go away." She said harshly.
"Maybe you should wonder why you aren't able to keep me under control."
"I told you, I don't lo-"She was cut off when she sensed Cyborg knocking on her door.
"If you have no feelings for him, then why is your face red?" Love said before she left.
Raven left her mirror, and went to answer her door.
"Hey Rae, I'm not interrupting anything am I?"
"No." Raven said with her hood on.
"Cool, because I was wondering if you wanted to go out."
She lowered her head so he couldn't see that she was blushing.
"I-I don't mean like a date. I mean, as friends. There's nothing to do around here, so why not go somewhere." Cy said while waving his hands.
"What did you have in mind."
"I don't know, how about the fair."
"You know I hate the fair."
"I know, but I was thinking that since it's just me and you that you wouldn't mind."
"Fine. I'll be ready in about 30 minutes." She said before closing her door.
Cy smiled while rubbing his hands together. He then walked to his room to get ready. They left to the fair a little while later. The ride was a quiet one. Cy had to try hard to smile, because of what he had in store for her.
When they arrived, they saw that it was packed. Raven hated crowds, but for some reason she didn't mind it this time.
"Wanna get some cotton candy?" Cy asked her as they entered the fair.
Raven just shrugged her shoulders as they headed to get some snacks. They walked around for a while, played a few games, and rode some rides. Every now and then Cyborg would look at Raven who would turn her head away so he wouldn't see her smiling.
He took her to the basketball shot.
"Hold on Rae. I gotta do something." He said as he headed over to it.
"You don't plan on winning me another chicken." She said with her arms on her hips.
"No. It's something special."
He handed the game runner the money and took his first shot. He made his first 3.
"You're on fire tonight Cyborg." The guy said.
"Yeah, hopefully I'll get that prize tonight." He said as he made another shot.
"Well, you only need 6 more points."
"What is he talking about?" Raven asked.
"They started doing this a few months ago, instead of playing once and getting something with whatever points you have. You can now choose to save them and wait to get something better. That's what I've been doing for about 2 months now."
"What are you going to get."
"You'll see." Cyborg said as he made the shot he needed.
"You did it Cyborg! I'll go get your prize now." The man said as he started to leave.
"Wait. I want you to wrap it." He said looking at Raven, who was looking back at him.
"Make sure that it's in something dark." He said while smiling at Raven, who had one eyebrow raised.
A few minutes later, he returned with a box that was wrapped in black.
"Thanks. See ya later." Cy said as he and Raven left.
"Let's go somewhere more private."
They both left the fair, and went to a bench on the docks. The was barely anyone there. It was perfect.
"Open it." He said as he handed her the present.
Raven, while still looking at Cy with one eyebrow raised; looked at the box and slowly opened it. Her eyes widened when she saw what was inside. It was black raven statue, with dark purple shading, perched on a rock with an inscription that said:
"To me dear Raven, from Cyborg. Thank you for everything."
"I-I don't know what to say." Raven said in a low voice.
"You don't need to say anything. Think of it as a thank you present for helping me with the T-Car."
"You had this planned didn't you?"
"When you put it that way, I guess so."
"C'mon, we should get this home so nothing happens to it; and besides, it's getting late."
Raven nodded, then they left the fair to go back to the tower. Raven held her present the whole time they were on the way back.
"Did you have a good time?" Cyborg asked as they walked in.
"I did." She replied back with a smile.
"I'm guessing that you like my present."
"I do, I'm going to go put in my room right now." Raven said as she started to leave. Cyborg was right behind her though.
"What are you doing?" She asked as turned around to see Cyborg behind her.
"I'm just going with you to see where you put it. If that's okay with you."
Raven just turned back around and kept walking. They walked in her room, where she placed it on her drawer that was right next to her bed. Cyborg say next to her.
"It's perfect." He said.
"Yeah." She said back as she turned to look at him.
When she saw him, he was smiling a smile that made her heart jump and she froze. They both stayed there looking into each other's eyes for what seemed like hours, but it was only seconds. Cyborg moved her hair out of her face, and leaned in to kiss her. She closed her eyes and moved in to kiss him back, but they were cut off by Cy's communicator.
"Stupid communicator." He thought to himself as he got up.
Raven opened her eyes realizing what she was doing. When Cy answered, it was BB at the other end.
"Stupid Beast Boy!" He thought when he saw who it was.
"What do you want?!" He asked sternly.
"I just called to see how you guys were do-Hey! What are you doing in Raven's room?!" He replied back.
"That's none of your business."
"Oh, I see you two were-"
"Don't even say it, don't even think it, whatever you're thinking, just get rid of it." He said as he left her room.
Raven laid on her bed, she could on longer deny the fact that she was in love with Cyborg.
"I'll tell him tomorrow." She said as she turned in for the night.
"Yeah, that's nice. I'll talk to you later BB." Cy said as he hung up.
"Wait Cyb-"BB said, but was cut off by Cyborg hanging up.
Cyborg walked back over to Raven's door and leaned on it. He took a deep breath, then walked to his room to go to bed.
"Enough of the games, I'll tell her tomorrow." He said to himself as he entered his room.
"Did you tell him BB?" Robin asked.
"No, he hung up before I could tell him. I guess he'll find out tomorrow."
End Of Chapter 3. Well, I guess they're tired of beating around the bush and want everything out in the open now. Sounds good, but what was BB trying to tell Cy; and what does he mean by "He'll find out tomorrow."? Stay tuned to find out.
"Good morning Sleeping Beauty." Cy said with a smile.
Raven just rolled her eyes, then went and say at the table. Cy followed her with two plates full of food. He handed her one before he sat down next to her.
"So, how did you sleep?" Cy asked.
"Fine. Why?"
"Well because you woke me up...twice, and you were talking in your sleep. All I heard was 'Don't leave me." He said knowing that he heard far more than that.
