For the first time in two weeks Raven was sleeping in her own bed. Well, at least trying to.
Raven sat up and started hitting her pillow to make it more comfortable before she plopped back down.
She glanced over at the clock.
3:27am
She couldn't sleep. Obviously.
It was because she couldn't stop thinking about Beast Boy, and this secret admirer of hers.
She couldn't believe that Beast Boy had been trying to get the attention of this girl for three years. All that time she thought she might have a chance. But in reality, she never had.
Her eyes welled up with tears and she felt a few drop from her eyes.
She sat up, convinced that she wasn't going to get any sleep tonight.
She went over to her dresser and picked up the book she had received from this secret admirer of hers.
Another thing that plagued her mind. How could she tell Cyborg that she didn't feel the same way? How could she tell him that her heart belonged to someone who would never return the feelings?
She stared at the book as more tears fell from her face, hitting the book.
Raven walked back over to her bed and sat cross legged placing the blanket back over herself before opening the book to read.
She found that a page was book marked.
The Raven
Raven gave a slight smile, her favorite poem.
She began to read and didn't hear it when someone knocked at the door.
A voice called out "Raven?"
She quickly shut the book, startled at the sudden sound.
Raven walked over and opened the door a crack.
Beast Boy was standing there with a sheepish look.
"Yes?" she asked him
"Sorry I just heard you up. I couldn't sleep either. After two weeks of hearing u breathe at night," He started to blush slightly "It's kind of hard to sleep."
Raven opened the door and allowed him to enter.
"So how come you couldn't sleep?" He asked her as he sat down on his bed
"I just…have a lot on my mind" she said picking up the book which had slid down next to Beast Boy.
"Hey, isn't that the book your admirer gave you?"
Raven blushed. "Yeah"
"Who do u think it is? You said thatyou knew."
"I don't want to say" Raven replied sitting down heavily on her bed
"Promise I won't tell" Beast Boy said holding up two fingers as scouts honor.
Raven smiled at him "Promise?"
"Cross my heart"
Raven sighed and looked Beast Boy in the eye.
This was the moment of truth for Beast Boy. Did she know?
"I think it's…Cyborg"
Beast Boy looked shocked. Cyborg? Now that was an answer he was totally not expecting.
"Why…Why do u think it's him?" He squeaked out.
"Well, since you two went into my mirror, we've been really close. He's been like a big brother to me, but what if he thinks of me as more of a…partner."
Beast Boy started laughing
"What!" Raven demanded
"You…think it's…Cyborg?" He said between giggles
Raven was enraged "Stop it! Stop laughing!" she felt herself becoming upset.
Beast Boy suddenly stopped as he saw her eyes well up with tears. "Hey, I'm sorry. Please don't cry."
Raven couldn't help it. She let it out. Crying, as things around her became encased with a black aura and started lifting. A few things broke and Beast Boy started to panic.
He transformed himself into a kitten and started purring and rubbing himself against Raven's lap.
Raven picked him up and brought him to her face, rubbing her cheek against the kitten's soft fur.
After she had calmed down, Raven released the kitten and Beast Boy turned back into himself.
"Rae…I'm sorry"
Raven was looking down at her hands "It's ok, I just don't know what to do"
"Well, I can tell you that it's not Cyborg."
Raven looked up at him, "How do you know that?"
"Because to Cyborg, you're his little sister, he would do anything to protect you. But he doesn't have feelings for you in that way."
"Are you sure?"
"Very" Beast Boy nodded to make his point.
Raven smiled at him "Thanks"
Beast Boy got up and went to grab a Kleenex for Raven
She blew her nose.
Beast Boy hesitated but then took her in his arms and hugged her.
He felt his shirt become wet. She was crying again.
He brought her face out to look at her "Hey, what's wrong now?"
Raven shook her head "It's nothing"
Beast Boy used his thumb to wipe a tear away from her cheek "Something that makes you cry is obviously something. Come on, what is it?"
Raven looked at him "It's like you, I like this guy, but I don't think he likes me back. I try and hide it, by always being mean to him. But it hurts, knowing he'll never feel the same way."
"How do you know that?" He asked softly
"Because he likes someone else"
Beast Boy didn't say anything.
They stared at each other for a moment before Raven did something she had no control over.
She leaned up and kissed Beast Boy.
He was surprised at first but then he leaned into it.
The kiss was amazing, years of passion and longing coming out in one kiss.
Raven pulled back "I…I'm sorry"
"What are you sorry for?"
"I kissed you"
"Raven" Beast Boy leaned in and captured her mouth again. Kissing her more passionately than before.
Raven squeaked at the kiss. Completely caught off guard.
Beast Boy smiled into her mouth and licked her bottom lip. Hoping she would take his advances.
She complied willingly opening her mouth too him.
Beast Boy's tongue entered her mouth and explored every inch. Something he had wanted to do for three years.
Raven moaned into his mouth. She had never experienced something so…wonderful. She had never been touched, or kissed before.
She kissed back, and the war of tongues began. Beast Boy's hand wandered down to the bottom her shirt and began running his hand on her bare skin. Causing Raven to shudder.
Beast Boy broke away. "Raven…I love you"
Raven was shocked "You…you do?"
He nodded giving her a quick kiss "For three years"
"You were talking about me?" She asked him shocked
"Yes. I fell in love with you the first time I saw you."
A tear rolled down her cheek
"Why are you crying?" He asked concerned
"Because I love you and I never thought…that you would love me back"
Beast Boy kissed away her tears "I will always love you"
Raven leaned her head against his chest and wrapped her arms around him. Suddenly feeling tired.
Beast Boy kissed the top of her head and laid them both down, covering them with her blanket.
"Good night Raven" He whispered
He only got a murmur in return. She was already asleep.
"I love you"
