Chapter 10 – "A Normal Life"
The next morning, Raven felt someone shaking her. She kept her eyes closed and rolled over, 'Mother, I don't want to talk about it. Just let me sleep for a few more minutes' She thought, not trusting herself to say it out loud. The person shaking her suddenly stopped shaking her and said "Come on Raven, it's Christmas, you're going to have to get out of bed eventually." Raven was startled by the fact that the person speaking was a male. Raven's eyes shot open, and she sat up instantly. She found her staring into the face of someone very green. "Beast Boy!" she squealed as she hugged him tightly around his neck. She heard something in her room explode, but she ignored it. "Raven? What's all this about?" Beast Boy asked, naturally confused at why she was hugging him. "I'm just happy to see you." She said as let go of him to look him in the face. Raven could tell he was still a little confused, but he just smiled at her. "Come on," he said, "It's Christmas, and I've got something to show you." They made their way to the living room. Upon reaching the living room, Raven was rendered speechless at what she saw. The entire room had been decorated in beautiful Christmas decorations. In one corner, there was a Christmas tree, and nearby, there were two stockings hanging on the wall filled with candy. From where she stood, she could clearly see the names "Beast Boy" and "Raven" on them. There was holly wreaths and mistletoe on the doors and walls, and there were presents under the tree. Raven turned to face Beast Boy, she was about to thank him, but before she could say anything, he smiled at her and grabbed her hand. "I've got something for you" he said as he pulled her over to the tree. He reached under the tree and pulled out a small box. He handed her the box, but she was a little hesitant in opening it. "Go on, open it. I promise it won't bite." He said. Tentatively she began opening it. Inside the box was the most beautiful silver necklace she'd ever seen. It had a delicate chain that was hardly much bigger than a hair. The most beautiful thing about it though was the charm. The charm was in the shape of a raven in flight. It was gorgeous.
She hadn't said anything for a moment, and Beast Boy was a little afraid she didn't like it. Suddenly, she looked up from his gift and into his eyes. Her eyes had small tears hanging to their surface as she handed the necklace to him so he could put it on her. She turned around and he fastened the tiny necklace around her neck. She turned to face him. Before he even thought about it, he began to lean toward her face, concentrating on her attractive lips. Raven could see him lean forward in the morning light, and she knew what he was going to do. She didn't want to stop him, it was like he was pulling her to him. But moments before their lips touched, Raven turned and ran upstairs. 'Was it something I said?' Beast Boy thought. After a minute or two, Raven came back. She was holding a rather large package. It was a brown box with a few holes in the top of it. "Sorry about running out on you, but I just remembered your present, and I realized that you better open it before it gets cranky." Raven said as she put the box down in front of him. He was obviously confused. 'Before it gets cranky?' He gave Raven a quizzical look, but all she said was "Open it. Though, I can't promise it won't bite." Beast Boy leaned down and began opening the box. He was quite surprised at what he found inside. In the box was a little black kitten. Beast Boy smiled warmly and picked up the kitten. Holding the kitten in his arms, he looked at Raven. "What should I name her?" Raven thought for a moment, and said "How about Becky?" The kitten meowed and licked Beast Boy on the nose. "I guess it's unanimous. You're name is Becky." Beast Boy said smiling at that cat. The morning was passing by at the speed of light. Beast Boy made vegan pancakes that were better than her "father's" had ever been. They stuffed themselves until neither of them could eat another bite and then together walked over to the picture window. They looked out at the peaceful bay, and stood there in silence. Raven was uneasy, she was still afraid that her powers wouldn't be controllable with him this close. The room was hushed and the quiet enveloped them. After several minutes, it was Beast Boy that finally broke the silence. "Raven, can I ask you a personal question?" "I guess..." she replied, afraid of what he was going to ask. "If you could be just like everyone else, would you? Would you give up being a Teen Titan to have a normal life?"
She smiled at the question, "Are you asking if I would give you up to be normal?" Not trusting himself to speak, he nodded. She smiled and said, "Beast Boy, even if I was offered the world, I'd still be here with you."
Slowly he leaned forward for the second time that day. She knew what he was going to do, and she didn't want anything to stop it. She was desperately trying to keep her emotions under control as his lips lightly caressed hers. After a few minutes, they slowly pulled out of the kiss to look each other in the face. They both smiled slightly. Raven was dizzy with the idea that nothing had exploded and her powers seemed completely under control. Under control that is until Beast Boy spoke. "Raven?"
"Yes?" She said, never looking away from his face.
"Could you, um, put us down?" Beast Boy said, trying to restrain a giggle. Raven suddenly realized that they were levitating four feet off the ground. After considering this for a moment, she simply replied, "In a minute." as they leaned forward for another kiss.
The End
After Notes: What did you think? Not too out of character I hope. I really hope that this whole story wasn't too confusing. And if you review, could you please tell me what you think about Troy hitting her? I was really debating whether or not to leave it in.
