"Try pleasing with stealth." Interpol 'C'mere'

"Aw c'mon man. BB and Raven? There's no way that would happen. They'd kill each other before the first date even started," Cyborg stated as he chewed on a sandwhich. Starfire, Robin, and he had been sitting at the kitchen table for the last half hour in silence till Robin had said that there was something going on between their two absent members.

He hadn't seen it coming, hadn't noticed the little ways they acted around one another. The way they always seemed to know where the other would be without even looking up from what they were doing. In fact they weren't even surprised to be asked the question. He wondered if they even knew what was going on.

"I believe it is most wonderful that our friends have gotten together," Starfire gushed, her head propped up by her hands, "but friend Robin how did you discover this?"

Robin bit his lip and then began listing the facts. "They're not making it obvious guys, but I'm sure there's something going on. For one thing the diameter of Raven's personal space is about six inches."

"Whoa, how do you know that," Cyborg asked with a sly grin.

"Because in times past that's as far as Raven would let BB get next to her before she threw him around the room."

"Oh," Cyborg said disappointedly. He had been hoping for one of Robin's rare blushes

"Recently, however, I've seen Beast Boy standing right next to Raven and she didn't do anything about it."

"But friend Robin surely one or two instances of standing next to one another cannot mean anything."

"They've done it every day for the last three weeks. I've also noticed some other things. Remember the movie we went and saw two weeks ago?"

"Yeah! Remember the scene where Ketrick took that alien-"

"Remember when Raven and Beast Boy were holding hands," Robin said, effectively cutting Cyborg off. "At some point during the movie they began holding hands. Their fingers weren't intertwined, but when was the last time you saw Raven holding anyone's hand?"

"Oh, I do not believe I have ever seen Raven doing such a wonderful thing as the holding of hands."

"How would you know about hand holding Star," Cy asked, the sly grin in place again. This time he was rewarded with Robin and Star both blushing.

"Hmphhhlh," Robin said, clearing his throat. "Did either of you notice that Raven has been showing a lot more emotion lately too? Nothing has blown up, and I say this having checked every room in the tower any time she's flashed a smile, cracked a grin, or gotten angry. One other thing, about 90 of the time, the emotion she expresses is towards Beast Boy."

"Ok let's say I believe you," Cy started, "what do we do about it?"

"Do?"

"Yeah man. This is BB and Raven we're talkin' about. There must be some kind of teasing in order."

"They don't know about it."

"Excuse me!"

"They don't know that they're doing these things. They don't know that for the last week they have sat on opposite ends of the couch and gradually make their way closer to one another until they meet in the middle. Raven doesn't realize she's been eating Beast Boy's tofu without it even being offered to her, just like Beast Boy doesn't know that he's actually been respecting Raven's quiet times. Its all in their subconscious minds."

"So what? You're telling me that they're sleep walking in broad daylight?"

"No, they're fully awake, but their minds aren't willing to admit it somehow. I'm not sure if we should make it known to them or not. It could lead to a rift in their relationship or it might be for the better." Robin heard the elevator and shut his mouth. Cyborg did the opposite.

"Yo BB we gotta talk," Cyborg yelled from the kitchen. Robin grimaced, but realized this was for the best.
