You guys are awesome, couldn't do it without any of you! Well I told you this story isn't over and it's far from it! I now present Chapter Twelve: The Morning After.
The next morning, Beast Boy awoke in Raven's room as the sun shone down and tickled his eyes into opening. He looked to his side and saw the beauty that was right beside him.
'She's so cute when she sleeps.' Beast Boy said to himself.
He had gotten out of the bed and put his shoes back on, when he had done so, he heard Raven stir behind him.
He turned to look at his newfound love, "Good morning." He said, smiling.
"Good morning." Raven said, returning his smile and giving him a peck on the lips as well.
"Ohh, lucky me this morning. Not only do I get a smile, I get a kiss too." Beast Boy said jokingly.
Raven laughed, "You're lucky you got that."
"Ohh, big girl eh?" Beast Boy said as he jumped on her and started to tickle her.
"Beast…Boy" Raven said in between laughs. "Beast Boy, seriously we nee to talk."
He stopped immediately and listened intently on what Raven was about to say.
"Ok, well we need to figure out how exactly we are going to tell this to the others. I mean, they are going to be so surprised to see that we have finally…" Raven couldn't say any more because Beast Boy had put his finger to her lips to quiet her down.
"Listen, if they were any less than our friends, the won't make a huge deal out of it. They will accept it and deal with it. Secondly, they already knew that I loved you, and wanted to be with you, they knew about that quite a while ago."
Raven looked dumbfounded. "What do you mean they knew?" Raven asked, accusingly.
"Yea, I accidentally mumbled something about me loving you a while ago, and at first they didn't know what I was talking about, but eventually they put two and two together and figured it out."
"I guess that's a good thing." Raven said as she entered the bathroom and cleaned herself up.

Raven and Beast Boy both walked down to the kitchen together, they stopped just in front of the door and turned to each other.
"Are you ready?" Beast Boy asked?
"As ready as I'll ever be." Raven replied, smiling. She turned along with Beast Boy, he newly coloured cap fluttering behind her.
They walked through the door, holding hands, and saw everyone in there already. Cyborg was, as usual, playing his video games and Robin and Starfire were sitting at the table eating their own breakfast.
'Thank goodness, no one saw us walk in. Maybe they won't notice us until we are sitting down and we don't have to explain anything.' Raven thought to herself as she and Beast Boy started their decent down the stairs and to the same table as Robin and Starfire.
However, it was too late. As Raven and Beast Boy started walking, Starfire looked up and saw the two and immediately had a large grin on her face. She then looked down at their hands intertwined within each other and had a much larger smile on her face afterwards.
She flew up immediately and went to hug Raven. "It is so wondrous! Congratulations!" She said hugging Raven, almost breaking her ribs.
"Thank you Starfire," Raven managed to get out. "But would you please let me go, you're kind of breaking me in half."
At this instant Starfire let her friend go and turned to Beast Boy and did the same thing that she had done with Raven.
"Hey!" Cyborg called from the couch. "Is that Beast Boy, if it is then tell him to get his green butt over here so he can get whooped by the master!" Cyborg called out, not turning his head.
Now Robin had looked up and saw that Raven and Beast Boy had been holding hands. 'Oh great, they have finally found out they love each other.' Robin thought, half ecstatic.
He walked over to the both of them and said a half-hearted "congratulations" and went back to sit down at the table to finish his breakfast.
"You must tell us all!" Starfire said to Raven. "You must tell us all what made you change your mind, as well tell us why your cloak is white."
"Well, short story long, about my cloak, is that when I realized my true love for Beast Boy, it expelled anything negative from me and left me pure. Hence the white colour, because white is the colour of purity."
Starfire, sitting intently, shook her head, signifying for her to continue, and Raven did so telling them the entire story of how she realized her true feelings.
"Wait, wait!" Cyborg said, finally playing his game and turning around. "You mean to tell me that you are in love with this grass stain?" Cyborg said, grinning all the while.
Beast Boy shot him a very dirty look, and Raven just chuckled and said a simple "Yup."
The rest of the morning was discussions of what the newly found couple were going to do.

That afternoon, Raven and Beast Boy had plans to head out to the mall, just to spend sometime together.
"You all ready?" Beast Boy asked Raven as she came into the living room where he had been waiting with Robin.
"Sure am, are you?" She asked back.
He nodded and they got up and proceeded out the door. Robin had gotten up with Beast Boy and watched them leave.
"Raven! Could I talk to you for a second?" Robin called out at Raven.
"Sure." She called back. "Just a moment BB." She called as she was running to Robin.
"There is something I need to tell you…" he said, becoming very nervous all of a sudden and Raven could not put her finger on why he was acting so odd. "The thing I wanted to tell you was…"
"Hey Raven, we're going to be late!" Beast Boy called from out in the hall.
"Robin, I'm sorry I need to go. We can talk later." Raven said as she turned away from her friend and headed out the door.
"What I needed to tell you was I love you too…" Robin said into nothingness as he just stand there, with a broken heart.
What in the world? Bet you never saw that coming!
