Chapter 3:

She leaned back in her chair. It was so quiet in the room. She was lost in thought.

Why did I insult him like that? He only meant well. And, if I didn't want the kiss, why am I still thinking so much about it? She missed the warmth of his lips on hers. She missed the feeling of it all. She suddenly began to notice how much she enjoyed the fangs she'd see when he smiled, the way he always tried to make her laugh, the way she liked his olive green eyes. He really isn't that bad of a guy. He's a nice guy, always trying to make me laugh. Sometimes it seems like he's the only one who cares. She sighed. He's also in such good shape…

FLASHBACK…

It was the afternoon of an April day while Raven was walking to the training room of the Titan Tower. Before entering the room, she looked inside and saw Beast Boy lifting weights, very heavy weights. It was impressive but at the time, she didn't care much.

END FLASHBACK…

She sighed again and stood up. I can't take it anymore I have to go say something…

She got up from her chair and left the room. She then knocked on the door of Beast Boy's room reluctantly.

A voice inside said, "Come in."

Raven peered inside Beast Boy's messy room. "Um… Beast Boy?" she looked around and saw him lying on his bed.

"What now, Rae?" his voice sounded irritable; this upset her.

"If you want I could come back later." She told him but he shook his head and waited for her to say what she wanted to say.

"Well, Beast Boy, I just came to say that I'm sorry for being mean. I don't hate you, ok?"

He smiled, one fang peering out of his mouth. "Ok."

She went and sat next to him on his bed and pulled her hood down. "Do you still…?"

He didn't answer. "I get it," she said. "That's ok though."

"Oh, a minute ago I thought you didn't want me to like you."

"I thought you said you loved me?"

"Ah, so you were listening." He said with a grin.

Oh damn he's good. He seems to have gotten so much more observant since when we first met, many years ago. I wonder how long he's had…feelings for me.

"Is that all you had to say?" he asked.

"I suppose, unless you have something else to say?"

"Well, for starters," he sat up, "Are you mad at me for kissing you?"

"No."

"Did you enjoy it?"

She didn't answer. He smiled slightly and sat next to her. It got quiet again. All of a sudden, Beast Boy leaned in and closed his eyes, attempting to kiss her again, but this time…
