Chapter 4:
All of a sudden, Beast Boy leaned in and closed his eyes, attempting to kiss her again, but this time, Raven closed her eyes and actually kissed him back. She liked the feel of his lips against hers and the feeling of butterflies in her stomach.
They broke the kiss reluctantly and Raven blushed. She then stood up and put her hood back on when Beast Boy grabbed her arm and asked, "Where are you going?" he asked her. She didn't reply but instead sat back down. Beast Boy pulled Raven's hood down and asked, "Do you love me?"
Raven looked at him, into his olive green eyes. She realized how much she liked the color green. She didn't answer the question.
"Am I weird to you, Raven? I'm green, all over. That must be weird, isn't it? And the fact that I have pointy ears and fangs? That's weird too, huh? You probably don't want to go out with anyone so…odd."
"That isn't true, Beats Boy. Trust me, I am probably as weird as they get. You even said it yourself, remember? Those years ago…"
"You still remember that? Rae, you can't think that I still think that, do you? I really never did. You're not weird, just different. I'm different, too."
"That's the point I was trying to make." She smiled. "And anyway, I like green. Its…unique."
He smiled at her and she put her hand on his and blushed. "Raven, I love you."
"Why?" She asked.
"Why? Because, for starters, you're beautiful. Your milky skin and dark hair and deep eyes and figure, everything about you is beautiful." These words made Raven blush and she pulled her hood up to hide her red cheeks. "I also respect you, more than you could imagine." He continued, "I know how you cant show a lot of emotion without meditating first or you might loose control and I respect how you can control your own powers when I know you want to burst out crying or laughing, but you don't for the safety of others. I strongly respect that."
"Beast Boy, just stop" she said
But he continued, "Your so powerful. You've read so much, you've completely mastered your powers and that must take so much effort and courage."
Raven rose to her feet. "I have to go meditate."
As she left his room, he smiled.
