Helloooooooooooooooo fans!
This is my FIRST try at a romance fic so please try to keep up with me. I'm multi-tasking three fics at one time while I'm listening to Green Day's American Idiot and David Byrne's Like Humans Do.
A/N: Sorry I had to keep you guys waiting. I was too obsessed with Runescape that I forgot what I had to write. I'm also currently listening to Sum 41's We're All to Blame. TT

Well, it's huge. Here's what I did. I told Starfire my big, bad, humungous secret; I like Beast Boy. I could sense that my reputation would be over in seconds. This is Starfire I'm talking about. She couldn't keep a secret for less than five minutes. Heck, she couldn't keep a roller disco open for less than three weeks.
Heh.
I couldn't bear it anymore. I had to keep my cool and try to tell him. Slowly, calm and smooth.
The next morning, at breakfast, Beast Boy was cooking (yet again) his favorite tofu eggs and bacon special. This time, with onions. I entered the kitchen, picked up a glass of herbal tea and got out of there. After everyone was out of the kitchen, I went to the refrigerator, took out the plate and ate a portion of it. I put it back in the fridge and went back to my room.
It tasted bad. Heh. Should've known.

How could I tell him? It was like I had a ticking time bomb with me. I'd better tell him before anyone else does. But I couldn't. I still hesitated. Wait a sec. I'm worried. I am never worried!
I was still upstairs waiting in my room. Until Beast Boy came around. This time I had to tell him. I opened my door. He turned to it. I pulled him into my room. This was the first time I pulled someone into my room. There's always a first time for everything.
"Okay, listen to me, Beast Boy." I said to him.
"Why did you drag me in here, Raven? I thought you didn't want anyone in your room." He cleared up for me.
"What I'm about to say may shock you." Beast Boy was still curious. I walked over to my window and looked outside. "You know about me, right? You think that I wasn't meant to love. If you think so, then you're wrong."
"And why are you saying this?" He asked. I had to clear my throat before saying the truth.
"Do you promise not to tell anyone after I say out whatever I'm about to say?" He nodded. And finally, "Because… I… love you, Beast Boy." He was in shock once I said it out. He clearly became conscious again and walked to me.
"Raven, you didn't have to keep it a secret for a long time."
"I had to tell you in secret."
"Well, whatever the reason, I'll accept it." Then he hugged me. I had to hug him back. This was the beginning of a beautiful romance.
