Accident Sentences and Dark Clubs

Destroying things is easier then fixing them, Raven thought as she put the face back on some machine Cyborg had her fix. She hadn't seen Beast Boy since the… bedroom incident, but he was probably avoiding her like she was avoiding him. The sound of his voice made her scuttle away into the nearest closet or room, Starfire had found her hiding out in a broom closet once. There had been a few awkward moments of surprised silence before Raven had just walked away into her room. It wasn't that she was ashamed of what they almost did it was she was ashamed of how much she lost control and was not quite ready to face the only person who saw it.

Beast Boy on the other had was avoiding her because of how close they got to doing something, thinking that he had almost taken advantage of someone that had just been crying her eyes out. His alter-ego begged to differ, that version was much more polite then his alter-ego's actual words.

Beast Boy was stretched out on his bed when there came a knock on the door, his heart sped up and questions popped into his head, 'What if it's Raven? What if she's come to yell at me for what almost happened?' There were many questions of that nature running around in his head like a dog trying to catch its own tail.

"B.B., are you in there?" Cyborg asked on the other side the door. Beast Boy visibly relaxed letting his head flop against his pillow.

"Yeah Cyborg, come in." Beast Boy propped himself up by his elbow as Cyborg came in. "What's up?"

Cyborg eyed his room with quiet disgust, plates with fuzzy green food were everywhere, clothes were thrown around the room and something was twitching in Beast Boy's open closet door. "Uh… I just wanted to talk to you about Raven." Cyborg peeked under a pile of clothes that the twitching was coming from.

"Why Raven? What are you doing?" Beast Boy asked seeing him peeking at the clothes like it was a dangerous beast. He really didn't want to talk about Raven seeing that there were too many thoughts and reactions in his head and no way to sort them out.

"I'm seeing what is under here that is twitching!" Cyborg said, lifting a dirty shirt from the pile, a bird rolled out of the sleeve and began to flop around wildly. Beast Boy scooped up the bird and threw it out the window where it instantly took flight.

"Wonder how that got in here," Beast Boy asked mainly to himself. His thoughts were more on avoiding the topic of Raven then some stray bird.

"Have no idea any way, about Raven." Cyborg turned to Beast Boy who was watching the bird shrink into the distance not really seeing it at all. Raven's face was in his mind, he saw her talking, saying something sarcastic, and even a smirk. Most of the time when she was talking she had the same expression on her face, blank and distant except when she smirked.

"B.B., are you alright?" Cyborg touched Beast Boy's shoulder in concern; it wasn't like Beast Boy to be thinking with a worried expression on his face.

"Yeah, I was just thinking about something." Beast Boy blinked out of his self induced trance.

"Okay man. Anyway, about Raven, do you really like her?" Cyborg asked, he had seen Raven deep in thought and had asked her what she was thinking about during the times when she was helping fix his room. Usually she said nothing, but once she had said Beast Boy so he decided that when ever she had a certain look on her face that she was probably thinking about Beast Boy. He saw a similar look on Beast Boy's face just that moment then it was gone like a half remembered smell.

Beast Boy looked at Cyborg a few heartbeats before deciding to tell him the truth, "Yeah, I really do like her." Looking Cyborg in the face right now seemed almost impossible so he looked at his unmade bed.

"Were you in her room last night, just before I came in?" Cyborg looked directly at Beast Boy's face almost willing the answers to be written on his face instead of coming out his mouth.

"How did you know about that?" Beast Boy asked in shock, he hadn't told anyone that he was going to Raven's room and he had left through her window so that no one knew.

"Educated guess, you disappear for a few hours and Raven hasn't been seen since that morning. And she became defensive when asked if you were in her room. It doesn't take much to put two and two together." Cyborg said. He rocked onto the backs of his heels and asked, "Are you going to ask her out?" He kept his voice as friendly and conversational as possible.

Beast Boy blinked at him again as if he was seeing him for the first time ever, "You're kidding right? She'd never do it; she'd probably blow herself up before going on a date with me!" He began to wave his arms dramatically. "Okay, here's my league." He pointed to a sock, and then kicked its pair across the room hitting the wall and sliding down to the carpet. "And that's Raven's. Way…. Over there."

"B.B., I think you're being unreasonable." Cyborg tried, pleading crept into his voice.

"Unreasonable! Raven is like a goddess and I'm just a little shrew. She hates me; did it ever accrue to you that she might have lied just so that you'd lay off?" He knew that this wasn't true, but still! He had to have an argument.

"She wouldn't have picked you of all people. She'd pick someone that I wouldn't talk to, someone I wouldn't know. Now are you going to ask her out or not?" Cyborg said, putting his hands on his hips in frustration. It did look awfully feminine.

"No, what if she says no? How could I even look at her after that?" Beast Boy dropped onto his bed covering his face with his hands. 'She'd probably say yes. Who can resist our charm?' His alter-ego said. 'Raven,' Beast Boy said bluntly. She never laughed at any of his jokes, and was constantly insulting him. She could resist his 'charm' no problem.

"I doubt that she'd say no, she likes you a lot. I can tell." Cyborg said sitting next to Beast Boy. He was 99.9999 sure that she'd say yes. .1 just so that there would be room for error if there was any, which was doubtful.

"But you aren't sure, you are speculating. And I'm not going to chance it." Beast Boy shrugged, "Besides, why would she like an annoying green boy?" He gave a sad smile, Cyborg felt like popping him one for being a downer on him self.

"Dude, shut up! She likes you and you better ask her out or I'll do it for you." Cyborg said irritated. He hated it when people beat themselves up before they tried anything, it was just annoying.

"You wouldn't really would you?" Beast Boy asked suspiciously. He kind of liked the idea of him not having to do it but it seemed cowardly.

"Yes I would, in fact if you don't do it right now. I'm going to do it." Cyborg stood up and moved toward the door.

"No, that's alright. Really, I don't like her anymore. Raven, Raven who? Yeah, no liking anymore," Beast Boy said trying to get his friend to stop. Painfully for Beast Boy, Raven only heard the sentence of him not liking her anymore. She froze, just outside Beast Boy's door to the right of the door frame so they didn't' realize that she was there.

Beast Boy paused and sniffed the air, "Oh crap," His head snapped to see the edge of Raven's cloak twist out of sit as she ran to the nearest window and flew out.

"What?" Cyborg asked oblivious to what had just happened. "What'd I miss?"

"Raven heard what I said! Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap!" Beast Boy began pacing his room, hitting himself in the head for being a bone head.

"She just heard what you said?" Cyborg raised an eyebrow, "Well one thing is for sure. She went to a Goth club somewhere. Go find her."

Beast Boy stared at him dumbfounded, "Are you kidding? If she sees me now, she'll hurt me!" 'Or burst out in tears…' He added to himself then his alter-ego said 'No, she wouldn't let you see that again after what you said. Bone head.'

"No, now go!" Cyborg physically picked him up and threw him out the window; he morphed into a sparrow and flew towards a club that Raven often haunted.

Upon arrive he got several strange looks and a few kinkily dressed girls made cat calls at him. He blinked at them in surprise until a girl dressed in a black shirt and black pants came up to him. "You're a Teen Titan, right?"

"Uh… Yes." Beast Boy said uneasily, who was this girl?

"Are you looking for Raven?" The girl didn't show any emotion at all, she reminded him uneasily of Raven.

"Yes, do you know where she is?" Beast Boy asked suddenly getting courage enough not to stutter.

"Backroom, third door on your left, that hallway," The girl pointed toward a door with reach purple curtains hung over it.

"Thank you," Beast Boy said and timidly walked up past the curtains counting the doors until he found the third one. It had a large brass three on it, he knocked gingerly.

"This room is occupied." Raven growled from the other side of the door. Think it was probably some couple hoping to get it on in this room.

"Raven, it's Beast Boy, will you open the door please?" Beast Boy said through the door. Raven's eyes got wide, the lock clicked. She didn't want to see Beast Boy, not right now, not when she was so close to tears again.

"Go home Beast Boy, this isn't your scene." Raven said, Beast Boy thought he heard a bit of a quiver in her voice. Was she about to cry again?

"Please Raven; I just want to talk to you." Beast Boy pleaded through the door.

"Why? I heard all that I needed to when you told Cyborg. There is nothing left to discuss." Raven snarled, coming up close to the door. Beast Boy tried to turn the knob, it was locked.

"I only said that so that Cyborg wouldn't… uh… go talk to you." Beast Boy blushed as he almost said 'So that he wouldn't go ask you out for me.' Nope, she didn't need to now that part.

"What, now you think you can tell people if they can talk to me or not?" Raven snarled one thing she hated more then stupid people were control-freak males.

"No, not at all! It's just a certain subject that I would preferred you didn't hear about." He touched the door wished he could touch her instead of this stupid piece of wood. Raven looked through the peek hole and saw him touching the door, she wished he would be touched her instead of that door. Some doors get all the luck.

"What was the subject?" Raven asked carefully, her voice devoid of emotion.

"Uh… Can you open the door? There is a person that is really creeping me out, out here." Beast Boy pressed himself against the door as he noticed that a girl who had made cat calls at him had followed him to the backrooms.

Raven smiled slightly, and then made it vanish as she opened the door revealing Luna, a slut that frequently picked up her partners here, eyeing Beast Boy hungrily. "Get lost, Luna. He's mine." Raven growled at the girl.

"Maybe we could share Raven; you know how much I like new things." Luna said never taking her eyes off of Beast Boy.

Beast Boy whimpered as Raven pulled him into the room, "I don't share Luna. Now go away." She slammed the door in Luna's hungry face, that girl was really creepy even to Raven. Nymphomaniacs were rarely sane.

"Was that girl for real?" Beast Boy slightly trembled with his encounter with the insane.

"Yes, and if you don't tell me what you're doing here I'll give you to her." Raven threatened; though no matter how bad he hurt her she probably couldn't do that, probably.

Beast Boy's eyes got wide with fright, "You would?" His tremble because an all out shake at the thought of being with that… person.

"Yes, now what do you want?" Raven leaned against the door. A little part of her enjoyed Beast Boy's fear but a big part of her was smacking herself silly for doing it.

"I just wanted to tell you that I didn't mean what I said. That I really do like you and I'm sorry for hurting you if I did." Beast Boy became very interested in the floor boards, lovely patterns.

"You didn't hurt me," Raven lied. "You can't hurt what you couldn't touch." 'You dipshit, He's apologizing and there you go making him feel bad! You're an idiot!' Raven agreed with her alter-ego, she was being stupid and didn't care.

"Well if I did, I didn't mean to. So do you not hate me?" Beast Boy peeked at Raven's face; it showed nothing which didn't give Beast Boy enough courage to continue talking.

"I never hated you because you never gave me a reason to. Now go home, and avoid Luna if you can." Raven stepped away from the door which put her very near Beast Boy, she hesitated a moment before moving towards the door.

Raven had been very close to him when she stepped to open the door, he felt that he should reach out and pull her into kiss like the heroes did in the movies. He was still making up his mind when she opened the door. He lost his chance while trying to decide what really to do. 'Great job slick!' His alter-ego cursed him.

Beast Boy looked into Raven's eyes and found no emotions. Raven looked into Beast Boy's eyes and found startling emotions. Sadness, desire, want, and most frightening which she thought she only saw a glimpse of love or very strong liking.

Beast Boy began walking out but stopped right inside of the door frame, 'Kiss her now, before you lose your chance! Do it you big lump!' His alter-ego screamed so loud that he was sure Raven heard. He listened to his alter-ego for the first time. He pecked her on the corner of the mouth, rush out of the room and through the purple curtains before Raven could say anything. Luna hung by the exit, standing right in front of the door at the sight of Beast Boy. He dodged past her no problem and ran out into the evening, morphing into anything with wings.

Raven stared at the curtains Beast Boy had just run out of, the tips of her fingers touching the corner of her mouth where Beast Boy had kissed her. She stood inside the doorway stunned for a few moments, and then closed the door quietly. Raven leaned against the door, and let loose a huge sigh. "He does like."
