Teen Titan's Tower, Saturday, 10:16PM
Raven reached Titan's Tower just as Robin and Starfire were opening the door. She stayed quiet so they could get in all the mushy, gooey, romancey, crappy junk they always did without interruption. However, all they said was goodnight. They then walked together, presumably toward their respective rooms. Just as the doors started to close, Raven slipped in. She was just in time to see Robin's cape slip through the far doors. Sighing, she started walking across the chair-lined hallway connecting the front doors with the living room.
When she finally reached the hallway connecting to her room, she paused. She couldn't stop thinking about Beast Boy and whether or not he was still upset. She finally decided to check up on him, just to be sure. She turned towards his room and, once again, started walking.
Raven knocked on his door, expecting to hear him saying something hilarious and sarcastic. She heard nothing. She knocked harder. Still nothing. How upset was he? Raven walked to her own room, exausted.
Back in her room, Raven turned on her shower and got undressed. Just as she was stepping into the water, someone knocked on her door. Raven threw on her bathrobe and tied the knot too tightly, so she couldn't breathe properly.
She ran over to the door anyway.
----------
Beast Boy stood in front of a door, pulling at his collar and passing a bouquet from hand to sweaty hand. Yet again. Again.
"Sure hope this works," he said to himself. He knocked on Raven's door, hoping against hope she was actually in her room. When Raven opened her door, BB decided he probably would have preferred for Raven to be out again.
----------
Raven opened her door to find Beast Boy standing there, holding out his bouquet to her (again). "Th-this is f-f-for y-you..." he stuttered, apparently trying very hard to keep his cool (I must say that he failed miserably. Bummer).
"Uhh...thanks..." Raven said, having a bit more trouble breathing, with her bathrobe tied so tightly. She subconsciously started pulling at the knot with her left hand and took the flowers with her right. "So, listen, I'm sorry for saying you were afraid to l...lo...lo..." She faltered. She couldn't bring herself to say it. She just couldn't form the word.
"Yeah, that...that's exactly what you said...heh..." Beast Boy answered, trying and failing to be like he was before the kiss. Raven was still subconsciously pulling at the knot, though, and it made Beast Boy uncomfortable.
"Look, I...I think we kinda...well, we kinda screwed up our date -- um, I mean, dinner.... Listen, I...I think we shouldn't rush our relationship, okay?" Raven asked, trying not to hurt the changeling's feelings.
"Let's...let's slow down, you know, turn it down a notch, you know...Beast Boy, this...this is really hard for me to say, really, but, well, it's...it's just that...back at the restaurant...I...I...I enjoyed it. I really did. I...I meant what I said.... I really do l -- " All of a sudden, Raven's relentless pulling at the knot on her bathrobe came into effect. The knot came undone.
Raven shut her door as quickly as physically possible. "That was...the mistake...of the century," Raven panted. She blushed so much, her face actually started to hurt.
"Well... as long as he didn't see anything, I...I guess it's okay.... Well...well, even if he did see anything, well, I guess that it's not the worst thing that could happen..."
Raven thought for a second. "Actually...that would be the worst thing that could happen.... Well, at least... at least now he knows that I meant it.... I...I mean, well, sure, if he did see anything, my life is officially over and I'll never be able to show my face ever again, I mean, really, I...I'm sure everything will be fine..." Suddenly, Raven cracked and started to do something she'd never done before. She cried.
