Chapter 2: $400

--

The morning was a time Raven loved. It was so peaceful, and she loved the way she could just drink her tea and relax, and if since she got up early, that was another reason.

The Titans usually got up sometime between 7:30 and 9:30, and Raven would wake up at 6:30, head downstairs, fix some tea, and enjoy the silence.

She would think all about things that were plaguing her mind, and ways to soothe them. But today, she was thinking about...Beast Boy. Raven couldn't help it, after all, she DID have a date with him. But she was feeling differently about all of this. Was it...obsession that she was feeling?

All she knew was that she was pretty darn excited, and needed to keep a grip on her emotions before something blew up or anything strange happened.

Beast Boy was at his computer upstairs, sitting among his green fluffy pillows, typing to his friends. He looked at the desktop clock, and let out a low whistle. 6:49. He couldn't sleep that night, thinking of things that he could buy with his $200.

He wondered if he could buy a used mo-ped for that much...

Beast Boy had a weird tingly feeling in his tummy. Yeah, he didn't know that he knew that many big words. But this was different. It was like...different. It only started feeling this way as he described Raven to the others. Only then, and it was still there.

He had to admit, he DID notice all of those things about her, but there was something blocking him from falling in love with her. And that something was...her apathy. She probably only was coming because he asked her sweetly, and she knew that he was going to bug her for all of eternity if she had said no.

Yet he couldn't help it. He once heard an old man say "Love finds a way." Well...was it possible that there was absolutely NO way? Beast Boy couldn't even decide if he WANTED there to be a way, it was all just way too confusing.

The Changeling powered down his computer, and then went downstairs. He paused at the elevator. He couldn't face Raven. He couldn't.

This felt wrong.

He was USING her...

And that was something entirely wrong. And when she found out, she would kill him. Or, she would feel hurt...really hurt....which would be kind of unlikely seeing as she was the one who had said "People come, people go" when Cyborg left, thinking it was just a way of life. She just went with the flow. And it was annoying Beast Boy.

He WANTED her to care! He needed her to...but this wasn't the way. No, it wasn't.

Beast Boy bit his lip. Maybe he should tell her that he didn't really love her, and wanted her to go to the convention as a friend?

No, that just ruins it. What if one of his friends went up to her, talking about how lucky that Gar kid was to have her, and she shakes her head and says she wasn't his girlfriend.

Then those 400 dollars would be gone.

Gone.

Was it worth it to hurt Raven's feelings?

Deep inside, he wondered...did Raven even HAVE feelings?

He went into the elevator and as it lowered, contemplated what to say.

As it landed and he entered the Main Room, he saw Raven, sitting on the couch, legs crossed, reading her book.

She's beautiful...I can't hurt her! Beast Boy thought. Then he mentally slapped himself. He had to. But then he couldn't...then he had to...UGH! IT WAS SO CONFUSING! As he crossed over, he called out Raven's name. "Raven..."

Raven put her book down, and looked over at Beast Boy. Her heart fluttered, and she felt her cheeks tingle as a blush formed, and a shy smile too. "Yeah?"

Sadly, Beast Boy saw the expression on her face. "I think that---"

"Morning guys!" Robin interrupted Beast Boy, stepping into the Main Room smiling.

Beast Boy's face fell, as Raven scoffed and picked up her book, resuming her reading.

Yep, she would just have to go with the flow this time.

Beast Boy sighed and shook his head very slowly. He'd be a dead man...But he'd be a dead man who had $400 in his pocket!!!!!
