Hi, everybody! This chapter has a lot of R/S fluffiness in it. Sorry it took bazillion years to update. I had a lot of homework. Hope you enjoy!
Disclaimer: I definitely do not own teen titans. If I did, Cyborg wouldn't even be there! * Snickers evilly*
It was a chilly evening for the teen titans. But not for long! Starfire came bursting into the tower.
" Hello, my friends! Look at the lovely clothing garments that I have made for us all!" Star fire held up knitted sweaters. A red one for Robin, a purple one for Raven, a green on for Beast Boy, a blue one for Cyborg, and a yellow one for Starfire herself. She began to deal them out.
" Um, thanks Starfire…" Robin said uncertainly.
" Oh, you're very welcome, Robin!" Starfire replied happily.
The other three looked at their sweaters disgustedly, as Robin looked disapprovingly
" I gotta go, Starfire," said Beast Boy as he rushed out of the room.
" Me too!" Cyborg said as he itched his back.
" Yeah, I'm gonna go meditate," Raven said.
" It seems that it is just you and me, Robin. Would you like to do anything? I believe it is called ' hanging out.' Did I get that right, Robin?" Starfire asked questionably.
Robin smiled at the girl's naiveness.
"Yes, it is Star."
" So, what would you like to do this afternoon?"
" Um, how about we… um…"
" Since you are out of ideas, how about we go to the park?"
" Yeah, sure. But look at the weather, Star!"
" What is wrong with it?" Starfire pointed out the window, where the clouds had cleared and the sun was shining out.
" Nothing… I was thinking about something else. Well, in that case, let's go!"
Beast Boy sat thinking about how wonderful his date was. He sighed and wished he could do it all again. He thought of how pretty she was when she smiled. The moment that stood out the most was when he gave her his jacket to protect her from the cold. She thanked him, actually thanked him! He wondered what Raven was thinking about…
Raven was meditating, as usual. But her concentration was broken when she thought of Beast Boy. She fell to the ground with a big thump, and massaged her head carefully. Ow, I gotta stop doing that. That's the 3rd time this week, and I don't want any more bumps on my head, Raven thought. She heaved out a sigh, and slowly rose off the ground and continued meditating…
It was time for lunch. The Teen Titans gathered at the table to see what was cooking.
"SOUP'S ON!" Cyborg called from the kitchen. A luscious aroma filled the air.
Starfire was the first one there.
"Soup is on Cyborg! We must get help!" cried Starfire. " He must be burning!"
" It's okay, Star. No one is being burned. The phrase 'soup's on' means that there is soup that someone cooked for us," Robin assured.
"Oh." Starfire felt left out.
Robin saw the pained look on Star's face. If she was hurt, he felt the same pain. He moved closer to her, and put her hand in his.
" Don't be left out, Star. You just came here, and probably don't understand much of our phrases. You'll learn," Robin said with a small smile.
" You always seem to comfort me whenever I am, as you call it, down. No one else cares about me like you do, Robin, an for that, I thank you." Starfire said.
Robin blushed, and to his surprise, Star was leaning in. Robin gasped, then got with the program. They were now inches away from each other's faces. Both of their hearts were beating at the same speed, now growing faster and faster. Their faces were now centimeters and closing, and just to ruin their "special moment," Cyborg cleared his throat, while snickering. The couple both paused, almost forgetting where they were: in the Teen Titan's kitchen, and about to perform a kiss in front of the rest of their friends. Meanwhile, Beast Boy was checking out the soup. Enraged to find out what kind it was, he decided to yell at Cyborg. He tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention. Cyborg turned around, expecting to know what Beast Boy was going to do next.
" YOU IDIOT! DO YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF SOUP THIS IS!"
" Chicken?" Cyborg asked sweetly.
" YEAH, IT'S CHICKEN! AND WHAT DON'T I EAT?"
" Chicken?" Cyborg was having some fun. " But I made a bowl of yummy vegetable soup just for you."
" Oh. Then why didn't you just say so?" Beast Boy asked sheepishly. Raven acted disgusted, but was really thinking, The way he acts is really cute. I just hope he feels the same way for me.
She scoffed.
" You are so lame." And with that, she walked away.
Great, now Raven thinks I'm lame. Beast Boy pouted. She'll never like me now. But I don't think that I'm lame. If that's what she thinks, it's what she thinks. She doesn't know what she's missing, thinking that Beast Boy is lame. He scoffed. At least he had some self-confidence.
Raven sat in her room. Since she couldn't stop thinking about Beast Boy, she couldn't concentrate, and if she couldn't concentrate, she couldn't meditate. If she tried to do so, she would just fall down onto the floor. She knew what this feeling was, but didn't know how to control it, and wasn't sure of it either. If I had one wish, just one, I'd wish that I could have feelings. More than anything else, though, I wish that Beast Boy would love me. But if I can't express my feelings, how would he ever know? The answer is… Raven took a deep breath. The answer is… he wouldn't know. She knew that there was no way that she could have emotions. Everything would crumble to bits; maybe even the tower would explode. Stupid emotions, she thought as she sat down onto the bed. The only answer to this is to not have these feelings anymore. I can't have anymore feelings for Beast Boy. A single tear was shed at the thought, and something glass exploded downstairs. That would be exactly what would've happened if I let my emotions go, except there wouldn't be just one object breaking, there would be a plethora breaking at the same time. I am Raven, and absolutely not allowed to express my feelings. I'm doing some good for the world by extinguishing any feelings I have for Beast Boy. She tried to get the feelings out, but failed. She knew that not even the strongest person in the world could take away a feeling from them selves. Sure, they can hide them, but Raven couldn't get the thought of Beast Boy out of her mind. She sighed and laid down. All she needed was a couple hours of sleep. That's right, sleep. Everything will be better tomorrow, she thought. Tomorrow…
