Bright Red Faces and Whooshing Doors
Beast Boy laid on his bed playing with a lock of hair replaying the scene that had just happened in his mind. Raven stood in front of the door to let him out, he leaned close. His lips touched the corner of her delicate mouth. A small sound of surprise jumped out of her mouth, and then he ran momentarily stalled by the slut Luna. He morphed into a pigeon and flew all the way to his room not stopping to catch his breath until he was safely in his bedroom alone. 'You shouldn't have run away.' His alter-ego said lightly. 'But I did kiss her, so shut up.' Beast Boy said, replaying the scenes slowly in his head for what must be the umpteenth time.
"Beast Boy, are you in there?" Robin knocked on his door, Beast Boy sat up in surprise, and Robin never visited him in his room. Starfire and Cyborg would, even Raven might, but Robin has never.
"Yeah, come in." Beast Boy swung his legs towards the floor without getting up off the bed. He wanted to keep that floating feeling people get when they've done something very daring and exhilarating.
"Hey Beast Boy, what's up?" Robin stood just inside Beast Boy's room. Beast Boy looked at Robin suspiciously.
"Nothing much, what's up with you?" Beast Boy looked at Robin, his eyes slits and his head tilted to the side in suspicion. 'Why did Robin just drop by?' 'I have no idea, this is really weird.'
"Oh, you know, regular stuff, training and such." Robin looked visually uncomfortable, he wasn't the only one.
"So… Why'd you drop by?" Beast Boy asked, trying to be discreet and blunt at the same time. It's much harder then you would first image.
"Cyborg tells me that you and Raven like each other. I was just going to ask if it was true. Is it?" Robin looked down at a sock that was trying to crawl out the door. Beast Boy lunged at the sock and threw it in a half full hamper. The sock made a noise of defeat as Beast Boy slammed the cover shut.
"I don't know if Raven likes me, but I like her." Beast Boy said, poking at the sock through the hamper holes, it made squeaking noises each time he poked it.
Robin looked at the sock with a mixture of disgust and horror, "So you like her? Does she know?" He touched the sock with the tip of his boot while Beast Boy tickled it. The sock had a giggle between a small child and a serial killer; it was frightening and amusing at the same time.
"Yeah she knows, why are you asking?" Beast Boy looked at Robin like he wasn't sure which direction Robin was coming from.
Robin sighed and dropped on to Beast Boy's vacant bed, the sock crawled out of the hamper and into Beast Boy's lap. "I was just wondering how you did it, St… this girl that I like, I've been trying to tell her for a while now. And you just liked Raven and told her, I just don't know how you did it." Robin slumped into himself, miserable and suddenly depressed.
"Just tell her, or tell Cyborg and he'll spill the secret." Beast Boy patted the sock as if it was a cute little dog, "So… who is this girl?"
Robin perked up his head, dropped it and said sheepishly, "No one you'd know." 'LIES ALL LIES!' Beast Boy's alter-ego screamed triumphantly. 'Duh,' Beast Boy said and thought of a large face with a stupid expression.
"Does she have red hair, and green eyes?" Beast Boy said, petting his sock trying to be stealth about an already known fact.
"Uh… yeah," A blush sunk onto Robin's cheeks, he was embarrassed. Awww how cute!
"Is she really bad at cooking?" Beast Boy said, looking at Robin as he spoke.
"She isn't that bad!" Robin said, trying to justify Starfire's cooking, he realized that he'd just given away the already apparent, "Yeah, she isn't that great of a cook."
"I knew it," Beast Boy stretched his legs and Sockie (the mutant sock) crawled away to do sock things.
Robin blinked at him in surprise, "How'd you know? I've never told anyone."
It was Beast Boy's turn to blink in surprise, "Are you serious?" 'I think he is…' 'Me too…' Both of Beast Boy's egos were put into a stunned silence.
"Yeah… why wouldn't I be?" Robin looked at him like he was stupid or not really making sense. The first one, look at the first one!
Beast Boy raised an eyebrow, "So you like Starfire, ask her out!" He decided just to skip to the important part.
"I can't do that! It's… It's just… I can't!" Robin said suddenly animated, this sounded very familiar to Beast Boy.
"Sure you can, I'll do it for you!" Beast Boy ran out of the room, Robin on his heels. They ran full out to Starfire's room. Beast Boy banged on it, caught in the moment of extreme speed. Robin caught up seconds later, and the door whooshed open.
"Yes friend Beast Boy and friend Robin?" Starfire asked happily, Beast Boy quietly wondered if the girl ever got sad. Probably not.
"Robin wants to ask you-"Beast Boy began, Robin clapped his hand over Beast Boy's mouth to shut him up.
"What does Robin wish to ask me?" Starfire asked gleefully, her huge green orbs of eyes held innocence that is vaguely annoying.
"Oh… Umm…" Robin ran his fingers through his hair, letting go of Beast Boy's mouth.
"Hewantsyoutogooutonadatewithhim!" Beast Boy said quickly, Robin looked about ready to kill him.
"Is this true Robin?" Starfire looked at Robin; Robin turned a very pretty shade of red.
"Yes…" Robin mumbled, refusing to look into Starfire's eyes. She giggled happily and jumped on him.
"Of course I will go on a date with you Robin." Starfire said her arms still locked on Robin's neck.
Beast Boy snuck away, thinking his good deed for the day was done. He soon got a surprise that made him make little girl screams.
Raven stood in the middle of the hallway watching Beast Boy make an idiot out of Robin and Starfire get her first human date.
"Hey Raven," Beast Boy said shaking, he had just screamed like a girl. 'She's going to kill us, head for the hills!'
"Why did you kiss me?" Raven asked. 'Oh that smooth! Stupid lump!' She stood completely still; if Beast Boy hadn't been looking right at her he might not have seen her.
"Uh… I don't know, seemed like a good idea at the time." He shuffled his feet, looking at the tread marks in his shoes. "You know, before you're about to turn me into a crater." 'You're an idiot!' His alter-ego groaned.
"I'm not going to hurt you." 'Maybe,' "I just want to know why you did it." Raven shifted her weight onto one of her legs, standing stock straight gets tiring after a while.
"I don't know I really like you and thought that maybe you'd like me too." Beast Boy mumbled he really wished he wasn't here right now.
"I see, thank you." Raven turned on her heel and walked towards her room, Beast Boy stared after her.
"Do you want to go to the movies with me?" Beast Boy asked trying to keep her to stay with him.
Raven turned around like she wasn't quite sure she heard him right, "Did you just ask me out?"
'Good job bone head!' "Yes…" 'I feel so stupid right now."
"No," Raven turned on her heel and walked into her room with Beast Boy staring at the back of her head. 'And why did you just say no? Because, I don't date, it's dangerous because of my powers and I don't want to hurt Beast Boy.' Raven swallowed hard, mainly because her alter-ego was trying to choke her. 'YOU'RE SO STUPID! GET BACK OUT THERE AND ASK HIM OUT!' Her alter-ego kicked her from inside her head.
Beast Boy stood outside of Raven's door debating whether to knock or not. 'Well she did already say no. So? Ask her until she says yes! That sounds desperate. What's your point? She'd probably just throw me out the window if I did that. What's your point? But I do really like her, but she'd just get mad at me. What's your point? Alright, I'll do it! Good!' Beast Boy pulled his hand back to knock but the door whooshed open, Raven stood right in front of him.
"I'll go out with you, movies, tomorrow night at 7." The door whooshed closed.
