The Tin Man's Heart
Chapter 2:
Raven wandered down the hall, deep in thought about Cyborg and Bee. It was way past 1 o'clock in the morning, but Raven hadn't been able to sleep so she decided to walk it off. All of a sudden strong arms wrapped themselves around her shoulders, and she felt lips press against her neck. She moaned slightly and held his arms. Why didn't I notice him coming? Beast Boy chuckled and let her go.
"Hey Rae, why are you still up?" He asked. She narrowed her eyes at him. He was hiding something. She gave him a small smile anyway.
"I was just pondering Cyborg and Bee. Thinking about meddling in their love lives." She admitted. Beast Boy laughed.
"Well that sounds new!"
"Hey, now, I'M the sarcastic one around here!" Raven chided. Beast Boy hung his head in shame.
"I'm sorry…" He mumbled, then looked up and grinned at her wickedly. "Not!" Raven rolled her eyes.
"So what are you doing up?" She asked looking at him with a suspicious stare. His wicked smile grew bigger. Raven eyed him warily
"Looking for you." Without warning, he grabbed her, picking her up bridal style and sprinting with her off down the hall.
"BEAST BOY!" Raven screamed, struggling to get out of his strong grip. "Just because I love you DOES NOT mean I won't blast you into a wall!" Several lights exploded. Beast Boy simply laughed and ran up the roof steps. He kicked the door open and stopped.
"Look." He whispered in her ear. Raven continued struggling but looked over at the edge of the building. She gasped in wonder as her eyes fell on a midnight blue and forest green blanket, covered with all sorts of desserts. She immediately stopped struggling.
"Oh, Gar…" She breathed and looked up at the cloudless starry sky with a huge silver full moon. He carried her over to the blanket and set her down gently on a satin purple pillow.
"Yes, my goddess?" he asked innocently, sitting on his green cushion.
"What is all this?" she exclaimed, enthralled by the stars above her. Instead of answering, BB checked his watch and grinned.
"Five… four… three… two… one…" He shook a bottle of cherry pop, causing its cork to blow off.
"Happy six month anniversary Raven!" He yelled in triumph, showing her his watch: 2:03am. Raven gasped.
"What?" she said, dazed. "I didn't know! I didn't get you anything" her eyes widened and all the lights blew, throwing them into semi-darkness with the moon as their only source of light. Beast Boy smiled and stood up drawing her up into his arms, turning on a boom box on the way. It began to play slow, soft music and they began to slow dance; Beast Boy started to whisper in her ear.
"That's how I wanted it. I wanted to surprise you…" Raven relaxed into him, sliding her arms around his neck and leaning against his chest.
"Thank you…" She replied, a tear slipping down her cheek. When the song ended, Beast Boy pulled her down onto his lap and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"You like it?" He asked anxiously. Raven stared at him then nuzzled his neck.
"It's the most wonderful thing anyone has ever done for me." She whispered. Beast Boy grinned goofily then picked up a black cherry, covered in chocolate and put it to her lips. She chewed it slowly and swallowed then picked up a grape and put it to his. After a few minutes of feeding each other they danced again, then they cuddled on the blanket and gazed at the stars.
"Rae?"
"Hmm?" She hummed sleepily.
"I have one more surprise." Raven's eyes snapped open.
"No, Beast Boy!" She scolded. He smiled nervously and handed her a small jewelry box. Raven opened it and gasped in wonder. She carefully pulled out a sapphire necklace in the shape of a raven with emerald eyes.
"Garfield Logan!" Raven breathed. "How much did you spend on me?" Beast Boy scratched the back of his head.
"None of your business!" He sniffed. Raven's hands trembled as she attempted to put it on.
"Here."
Beast Boy took it from her and fastened it around her neck.
She
turned around and pressed her lips to his. There was no tongue, no
lust; there was just pure love. The kiss was sweet and short but to
both of them, it was bliss.
"I love it, all of it." She said, as they touched foreheads. "I love you."
"I love you too." This time the kiss was full of passion as he laid her down on the blanket again.
Author's Comments: I know it's short, but that's for the fluff deprived people. Next chapter will be more on the plot, and the one after will be NW/SF fluff, and then more on the plot. –big cheesy grin- REVIEW!
