Raven's hallway, Teen Titan's Tower, Sunday, 8:37AM
Raven stood just inside her door. "If there's any hope for me yet, I'm gonna have to try to act like nothing happened." She sighed. "I'll take it slow, though." To her utter horror, when she opened her door, the someone standing there was who she least wanted to see.
Beast Boy was standing there, frowning at her. When Raven tried to close the door, BB stopped it with his hand. She retreated into her room, hoping to disappear from sight.
So much for slow she thought. To her surprise, all Beast Boy did was leave something on the floor, then leave. Raven was alone again.
Raven walked cautiously up to the door, half expecting him to be right there in the hallway. He wasn't, so Raven closed her door, then finally looked down at the thing he'd left on the floor. Raven saw that it was a note. Fearing the worst, Raven picked up the note.
She knew what would happen. The note would say something sarcastic, rude, and slightly hilarious, then something serious that would make Raven feel guilty, then she wouldn't know what to do, then she'd end up in the worst possible situation ever. At least, she thought it would say something like that.
Tomorrow, 2:00PM, my room was all it really said. Raven turned it over, expecting there to be more, but the other side was blank. This wasn't like him. Usually he couldn't stop flapping his gums, and now he's suddenly sending a short-and-to-the-point note? There had to be something Raven was missing. But what?
Raven turned the note over and read it a few more times. She still couldn't figure it out. Was this a prank? No, it was too elaborate to be a prank, BB always had simple, strange pranks. "What's this all about, if it isn't a prank?" Raven said to herself. "I...I guess I'll find out tomorrow..."
Raven's room, Teen Titan's Tower, Monday, 1:57PM
Raven opened her door as quietly as possible. Raven still wasn't sure why she was doing this in the first place. But she was doing it, of that she was sure.
She reached his door and she found herself wondering if it was too late to turn back. Beast Boy opened the door and gestured for Raven to enter. It seemed it was. Reluctantly, Raven obeyed. Once Raven was inside, Beast Boy jumped right to the point.
"Raven, I don't think we should let one little mishap ruin both of our lives. Look, if you don't want to continue our relationship, I understand. I just can't stand by while you're suffering. I just can't..." Raven actually thought she saw a tear well up in his eye, but it was gone a second later. "So, Raven, do you want to keep going out with me, or not?" Raven tried to look him in the face, but she found it was much easier to just look at her hands.
"Beast Boy, I...I...I really do... I mean, I...I...I...well, um..." Raven didn't know why Beast Boy could be so calm while she felt like the end of the world was in five seconds. Why could he just act like nothing had happened? Raven found herself wishing things were still like they were before Beast Boy'd asked her out. At least then she could speak normally.
"Really Raven, if you don't, just tell me," Beast Boy said. "I'll understand."
Raven looked up at him and gave a start when she saw that they were a mere foot away from each other. She wondered if he'd moved up next to her, or vice versa. Maybe they'd both been moving up to each other. But that didn't matter. What mattered was whether or not she was going to try and go on with her life. She'd have to decide soon, though. They were steadily getting closer....
"Beast Boy, I...I...I...I...well, I...I mean, I really...really do...well...well, I...I...I...I'm... I'm s-sorry for how I've b-been acting...I...I really do want to...want to...want to..." she just couldn't say it. It was as if the part of her brain that could speak properly was turned off. So she used a different way of telling him how she felt.
She leaned in, interlocked her fingers with his, and closed the space between their lips. Her mind was once again wiped blissfully blank. Raven found that this time, she knew what she was doing, and she liked it. And this time, when they were interrupted in the most random way ever, Raven was actually disappointed that she had to peel her lips off his.
"Beast Boy? Might you be in ? I have been wondering if you may have seen my tenebu -- er, necklace?" Starfire asked, knocking hard on the door (luckily, it didn't fall over.
"No, I haven't! Sorry, Star!" Beast Boy shouted through the door.
"Perhaps Raven may know where my necklace is? Maybe you could ask her the next time you see her please? She's the only Titan I have not spoken to yet!" Raven smirked. Starfire had no idea.
"I'm right here, Star," Raven called through the door.
"Raven? Why are you in Beast Boy's room? And have you seen my necklace?" Starfire added as and afterthought.
"On the counter, right where you left it, I think!" Raven called.
"Oh many thanks, Raven, many thanks! I shall go look there! Many thanks! Many thanks!" Starfire ran towards the kitchen. As soon as she was out of earshot, Beast Boy started up.
"C'mon, Rae, what'd' ya do that for?! You want Star to come in here and see us like this?!?!" They still had their fingers interlocked, Raven's knee was on top of BB's, and (even though she didn't know it) Raven's lipstick was smeared.
"Relax, she doesn't suspect anything." Raven said this as much to herself as Beast Boy.
"Oh, yeah, like Star won't figure it out eventually?" Beast Boy said, concerning Raven slightly.
"That's why I'm leaving now. See you, Beast Boy." As Raven left, she slipped a note into his pocket. As soon as she was out the door, Beast Boy pulled the note out. At once, he burst out laughing. The note read: Tomorrow, 2:00PM, my room. Sound familiar?
OK, I'm hungry, and it's time for lunch, and I'm hungry, and so just review, and OK? (And that's too many 'ands').
