Seventh day – a week, lucky number seven! With those entire things wrapping up in his mind, Beast Boy concluded that this is the PERFECT time to tell Raven he loves her. He sighed. He has to tell her, before Cyborg and the other Titans come back. Either this or a whole bunch of chores, what would he choose?
A dinner, a nice romantic dinner and something special in the end – that'd be perfect. A whisper of hope told him it might be so. Raven has definitely lightened up a bit and opened up a bit. He's practically on his knees praying that I'd work.
"Hey, Raven?" he tried. "No, um," he cleared his throat, "Hi Raven, GAH! NO!" He messed up his hair in frustration. "Yo, Rae," he tried in a husky voice. "No, that sounds totally wrong! What do I do?"
"What do you do what?" a voice came from outside. It was none other than Raven. "What are you doing? You've been in the restroom for over an hour and a half! And I need to use the restroom!"
"S-sorry!" he stuttered dumbly opening the door. Raven stood there, her eyes glowering at him then it softened.
"Thank you," she whispered and walked in the moment he stepped out. Beast Boy turned around. Did Raven just let him off the hook? After doing his momentary victory dance, he bounced (seriously, bouncing Beast Boy…no pun intended) into his room. Quickly, he tried his voices again.
After different tries (that took up TWO hours to decided) he settled on a simple, "Raven," call and that was it. Beast Boy sighed. "No sweat," he said. He leaned back. "I'll call her and ask her out for dinner, and then I'll confess, yes confess…but don't screw up! Don't do anything stupid!"
He walked out hesitantly out to the halls looking for Raven. He rehearsed it repeatedly in his mind. There, it's almost perfect and nothing can go wrong, at least he hoped not. He looked down seeing Raven walking down the hallways. Quickly catching up, Raven turned to him.
"Yes?" she asked.
"Uh, um, would…Raven." Beast Boy said. Raven raised a brow.
"What?" she said with a sigh. He gulped.
"Raven, would you like to, uh, well, would you like to…" he stuttered.
"Look, whatever you have to say that's important say it now before…" she started.
"Would you like to go out to dinner? I mean, there's nothing left in the fridge that'd be good to eat!" he said. Raven shrugged.
"Sure, where to?" she asked. Beast Boy's smile dropped slightly than rose again.
"An all-you-can-eat-buffet!" cried he.
Raven sat at her bed with flushed cheeks. Did Beast Boy just ask her out – out on a date? Is it official? Raven's heart did a flip; this is definitely unusual way of acting for Raven. She gave herself a minor shake and faced herself in the mirror. "What am I thinking?" she said out loud in frustration. "Don't freak out, it's just a dinner. We've been out for dinners together for…less than a week, but we have! I've been alone with him for practically a week; I'll have to get over this!"
She sighed loudly again and sat down. "Okay, don't worry, just act…like yourself." At least they don't need to dress up, do they? Beast Boy knocked on the door. "What?" Raven replied.
"Are you ready? You don't need to dress up or anything, just don't look like a Titan." Beast Boy said. Raven frowned and dressed into a casual black dress that rises up to her knees. Placing on boots, she walked out.
"Is this too much?" she asked. Beast Boy stared, his mouth in a big O. "Damn," she whispered. "I'll go change."
"No!" he cried. "Y-you look good!" he said holding her arm. She frowned. "Seriously, it's okay; it's an all-you-can-eat-buffet. Everybody will be looking at the food, not the person eating them."
"Okay," Raven murmured softly. She still was comfortable. Her cheeks were still slightly flushed about what happened in the syrup war – the whole kiss…in thinking of the kiss, something blew up from behind. The Ficus (a type of tree) from behind blew up in black and shriveled up quickly. "Oops," she whispered. Beast Boy stared eyes wide at the dead tree.
"Let's get going," he said.
Their transportation was quite weird. A mopad that's broken down so it ended up with Raven making it go with her telekinetic powers and Beast Boy enjoying the "ride" he was giving her. Raven sighed and wiped some sweat away when they reached.
"I'll pay for the dinner," Beast Boy offered.
"You're sure you can afford it?" Raven asked twirling the gem. "I mean this…"
"Either that or I'll just say superhero special night, a room for Two Titans." Beast Boy announced in a rather booming voice. Raven sighed.
"Not again," she murmured.
The moment they entered, they were instantly escorted to their seat. Raven sat down and looked around the different variations of food. Her stomach growled as she sat. "Do we go get food yet?" she asked. Beast Boy smiled and grabbed Raven's arm and headed towards the buffet.
Trying a little bit of everything but avoiding all of the too greasy food, Raven sat back down on the table satisfied with what she had on her plate. After a while, Beast Boy followed and sat down.
"Let's dig in." he said. Shoving his fork into the food, he ate nosily. Raven ate hers in a quite opposite fashion. After her first plate, she stood up and got another plate of food.
After spending a rather long time eating and very little time chatting, they were full. Raven leaned back on her chair with a satisfied stomach. Beast Boy did the same and was picking his teeth with a toothpick. Beast Boy called one of the waiters over and paid for the dinner.
"So, you actually do have money," said Raven. Beast Boy gave her a look then smiled.
"Of course, I won't be washing dishes right after a good meal." Beast Boy joked. Raven shrugged.
"Will we be riding the moped back to the Tower?" Raven asked. "I really don't want to push it all the way back."
"It's broken down isn't it? Then…uh, let's walk." Beast Boy suggested.
'But it took us so long to get here just by a mopad,' thought Raven. Walking out, Raven stopped and let her arms up slowly. "Azarath," she started,
"What are you doing?" Beast Boy asked.
"Metrion," she continued.
"It's not anything…are you trying to," Beast Boy was freaked out about Raven's enchantment.
"ZINTHOS!" she finished. A black mist surrounds them and a bird rose from the shadows. The bird pulled them down and when the blackness dispersed, Beast Boy found himself in the living room of the Tower. "There, save me the time and energy."
Beast Boy sat down a little shaky at the knees. "Teleporting seems easier if it wasn't that dark and scary."
Raven frowned. "I'm going to bed," she said suddenly. "I'm tired." Beast Boy let it be for a while until she left then it hit him. He forgot to tell Raven!
"Raven!" he called. She was already in her room and he dared not interrupt. Slowly he walks to his room, moping slightly. He set up the perfect atmosphere; it was he who forgot all about it. Food had too great of a hold on him. He fell onto his bed. "This sucks," he looked up at the ceiling. "This REALLY sucks!"
He sighed. What else can go wrong? Actually, he doesn't want to know what else can go wrong. He can always do something extremely stupid and ruin what's left of the chance he has with Raven. He crawled up to his bunk bed and went to sleep rather uncertainly.
Looking down at her palms she wondered about what happened yesterday night. Waking before the crack of dawn, she walked up to the roof. A week and one day and that left and the rest of the Titans would be back. It was rather saddening, the rest would be back and the Tower would yet again be a hectic zoo.
"Something to really look forward to," she said to the open air. Spending time alone with Beast Boy was actually enjoyable. She bit her lips softly. "Sometimes I wonder what's going on in my head these days." She flicked her cloak behind her and walked downstairs.
Beast Boy heard Raven's footsteps coming close to the living room. Quickly, he got ready – the roses were in hand and he had his lines perfectly memorized. Raven moved outside and saw Beast Boy there.
"Good morning, Raven." He said.
"Uh, morning?" she replied.
"These roses are for you," he handed over the black roses.
"Thank you," Raven said. "And since when do you at so sophisticated?"
"Yes," he said then gave a weird look. That didn't go directly to the line – Raven was supposed to say "you did this for me?" and he was suppose to say "yes".
"Uh, whatever," she said and sat down. Her eyes traced to the black roses. "How'd you know I like black roses?"
"I don't know, I know you're not going to like pink roses," he replied. Raven smirked.
"You're right," she whispered. "I'd kill you if you gave me pink roses."
"How about red roses?" he asked.
"Aren't most roses suppose to be red?" she replied. "So, is there a catch to this?"
"Of course not…I think," he murmured. She didn't reply after that. "Just kidding!"
Lunch hour came and they were both hungry. "Let's go out for lunch," she said. "There's nothing edible left in the fridge."
"I thought that was why we went out last time." He muttered but shrugged. All working to the plan that he wants; later he and Raven shall go something with a rather romantic aura to get it going.
Chewing on his food, he kept on glancing at Raven who was eating hers in a rather placid manner. He tried to slow down his eating but couldn't help it – his stomach was too hungry. Finally, Raven looked up.
"Are you done yet?" she asked. "I can't eat anymore so hurry up."
"Oh," he said. Awkward…
"Humph," she murmured.
"So, what do you…want to do after this?" he asked.
"I'm not really sure," she replied looking at Beast Boy while he ate. Beast Boy placed his fork down indicating that he was done and raised his hand so that the waiter can see.
"The park?" he asked. Raven thought about it slowly.
"Sure…I don't see why…we can't," she said slowly.
"Okay! We'll do Frisbee, roller skates, bikes, and paddle boats!" he listed out. Unable to object, Raven smiled lopsidedly and nodded hesitantly.
Holding the Frisbee uncertainly she looked down at Beast Boy – who was in the shape of a dog. A little sweat-drop fell down her cheek as she gazed down. "Um," she said. "Are you…sure about this?" He nodded; he wasn't able to talk in any animal form. "Uh, here we go – fetch, boy?" She threw the Frisbee part way and use her telekinetic powers to make it drift even further. Beast Boy ran after it with incredible speed. Quickly, he launched when he was closer to the Frisbee and opened his mouth. Grabbing the Frisbee, he spun and landed on all four like a cat. Returning to Raven, he dropped it into her hand.
"Uh, good job?" she said. Beast Boy gave her a slobbery lick on the face. Raven gave out a grunt and pushed him away. "Do that again, you'll find yourself tongue tied…literally." Raven whipped the drool away with the back of her hand. "Now what?" she asked. Morphing back, he shook his head furiously and looked at Raven.
"Roller skating," he smiled and grabbed Raven's arm. Raven can't object again and this wasn't good – Raven couldn't roller skate.
"B-Beast Boy…I – I can't get up," she murmured after strapping the roller skates. "I don't know how to skate at all."
"It's easy!" he said showing it out. He grabbed Raven's arm. She twisted and shook holding onto Beast Boy's arm. She clung on desperately trying not to fall. She gasped as she tried to get up. Her foot kept on slipping with the wheels under the shoes. "Whoa!" Beast Boy struggled not to fall as well.
"I – I can't stand!" she cried. She held him closely so she would not fall, but Beast Boy had a different idea. He felt her breath on her as he held her tightly around her waist. "Get me off of this!"
"Just try it, here, hold – hold my hand." He said stretching away from her. He held out his hand and she grabbed it before she fell. Directing her, he started rolling and she tried to do the same. "Is it working?"
"Barely," she replied. Her skates caught on some leaves and she slipped immediately. Still holding on to Beast Boy's arm, she fell with her. She landed on top of him and she winced. "Ow," she murmured.
"Are you okay?" Beast Boy asked. She glanced up and pulled herself off.
"If you ever suggest roller skating again, I'll throw you off into the dimension of Azar!" she growled.
"Uh, next thing on the list," he said, "bikes!" He pulled Raven up and she took of the skates. Raven sighed. At least she knew how to do this without messing up.
"Here we go!" Beast Boy cried as he sat in the front of the two-person-bike. Raven sighed.
"If I have to keep this going with my powers, I'll kick you off," she retorted.
"Aw, come on! I know how to do this!" Beast Boy said as he started. Raven started and quickly kept the pace. This is something she can do without messing herself up. Though, she had to take off her cloak so it wouldn't get caught in the wheels. Without her cloak, she felt bare…exposed, even.
"Hey, how're you doing back there?" he asked.
"Great, now pick it up before I die of old age," she replied. Beast Boy did as he was told and Raven matched her tempo with his. "I'm glad you pick the pikes, I can't roller skate."
"I can tell," Beast Boy said. Raven frowned.
"Thanks a lot," she replied dryly. After making a few rounds around the park, they finally parked the bike, paid and left. (Raven got her cloak before she left.) "What's next?" she asked.
"Paddle boats!" he smiled.
"Just like a bike," she said and he nodded.
Slowly loading herself into the boat, she seated herself right next to Beast Boy as he started to paddle. Chanting softly, she used her telekinetic powers to use the rudder with ease. After that, Raven started to paddle as well and went on with it.
"We'll have to keep in tempo, or we might capsize," she said. He nodded. She turned the rudder so that they'd go into the tunnel instead of hitting the small island. Beast Boy suddenly paced up as did his heart. It was like a love tunnel…
"Beast Boy, slow down!" she cried. Beast Boy couldn't and didn't. Raven tried to match his pace…the next thing they new they were in the water with the boat over them. Raven sputtered out water and glanced at Beast Boy. "Way to go," she murmured. "Now it's my turn to choose where we're going!" she said. A black bird surrounded them and they were off to somewhere else.
Beast Boy opened his eyes seeing the ocean and the sun closing down near the horizon. He blinked a few times before his eyes cleared up to the scene. Raven sat down and he glanced at her.
"Doesn't this seem like déjà vu?" she asked. He smiled and laughed softly as he, too, sat down next to Raven.
"I didn't know you liked this kind of thing, you know sun downs and all those stuff." He said.
"You never asked so you never knew," she said.
"You're right…you're always kind of dark and a bit scary when it comes too…" his voice trailed off. Raven's eyes stared out to the open.
"Is that what you think of me?" she asked softly.
"Well, yea…I mean no! I mean…." He stuttered. Raven gripped the sand.
"It's not my fault I'm like that." She growled.
"Well, you're always like that. It seems like you want to be that way so…"
"That's just how I am! I thought you accepted me like that…I thought someone actually," she murmured. "That someone actually…" she looked down. "Why are you people are always like that!"
"Like what? I've changed some things for you! Why won't you change some few…"
"How can I change what I am?" she growled. She sighed loudly. "This is pointless! I don't have time for this!" A whirl of black surrounded her as sand caressed it as well. When the whirl stopped, Raven was gone leaving Beast Boy sitting there. He looked down, his eyes sad. Great, now Raven is mad at him for the worse and most pathetic thing ever. What was she going to say? That someone actually…cared for her or liked her for the way she is? Beast Boy looked down. 'How guilty am I going to feel?' he leaned back. 'Damn, I hate guilt trips…'
