Two Halves

I don't own Teen Titans.

Chapter 4: A difficult question

(Another sleepless night,) BB thought as he dragged himself out his room and walked down the hallway to the kitchen.

His vision was becoming blurred as he looked ahead. He furiously rubbed his eyes, clearly them up. Blinking them a few times, he finally got his senses barely together. His insomnia was still in its strongest stages. And it was still about Raven. No matter how what he did, BB couldn't get that girl out of his head. The fear of losing her was slowly warping around his heart. He hadn't cared about someone like this in a long time.

And yesterday, he had felt those feelings for her become twice as strong. Seeing her in her room, in her white leotard, standing there looking so beautiful. And then when she caught him, she didn't even kill him. He remembered the two of them staring at each other. He remembered just losing himself in those purple eyes of hers. She was, in his mind, the most beautiful girl ever. And then that lead to him remembering how she cared for every one else, how she protected them from obstacles with her own life at risk, and even though she was shy, she would always still be a good friend. She was great. She was amazing. She was his angel…

BB stopped dead in his tracks and said, "Don't think for her like that. That's what nearly got you killed last time."

That was another factor that kept him up. Calling Raven the name Angel. She wasn't his. That didn't give him a right. He was just grateful that Raven didn't kill him. And yet, why didn't she do anything other then ask what he said? There was no anger in her voice. Maybe she liked being called that. It still seemed like a bad idea. He didn't want to do anything to hurt her. He cared about her too much. But, he wanted to have her. For her to be his angel.

(Enough of this. I don't even know if she likes me,) he thought as he continued to walk down the hall. And what if she didn't? What if his feelings were nothing? What if she didn't care about this much? He suddenly felt his movement then slow down as the reality of it all began to come down on him. He should have felt good. If Raven cared about something else, then maybe he wouldn't be so confused. But he still wanted Raven. He didn't want to lose her to anyone other then him. He didn't know what to do.

Just the, something comer out from the wall and appeared beside him. He jumped back in surprise and made eye contact with Raven. Even though it was a familiar face, he could still feel his heart racing. She was wearing acrimson leotard and cloak. Her face was uncovered, which was what was making him so nervous. Her eyes were locked on to him and her mouth was curved into a sly smile. It was as if she was waiting for him to come.

He calmed himself and asked," Hi, Raven. Sorry."

"Don't be," she said, with a sort of sexy tone on it.

(Is she coming on to me?) He asked himself. He then asked, "I see you changed your clothing again."

"I change into anything that gets you hot," she stated. She then came in closer to BB, making him back away. He wasn't going to get anywhere as he was now pinned to the wall. He then saw Raven wrap her hands around his body and bring her body against him. He felt her chest push against his, making him blush an extreme shade of red. She lowered her head then and began to rub it against his body. Her hair swept against his face, giving him a smell of it that made him nearly pass out by how good it was to him.

"You know," Raven said," the others are having breakfast. But I can give you something even better to start your morning with."

BB was now seating buckets at hearing this. This wasn't Raven. If it was, there was definitely something weird. But he was too busy enjoying himself to realize it.

Raven (or whoever it was), looked up at BB and said, "Let's begin with a little taste." She then closed her eyes and leaned her face in towards him, her lips pressed together.

Now BB was panicking. Does he kiss her? Does he not? What the hell was going on? His head was too cluttered with questions; he suddenly blurted out, "Aren't you taking this a little too quick?"

Raven stopped her movement on BB's face and opened her eyes. Her mouth forming to a disappointed frown, she lowered her head and then began to make circles on BB's chest with her index finger. "You're right. A man should earn his prize. Taking a woman on a date is a good idea."

BB watched as she slid of his body and backed away, still caring that smile on her face. "See you around." she said before disappearing back into the floor.

Beast Boy was in shock over what had happened. He still didn't know if that was Raven or not, but what she did. And a date? Did she want to go out with me? If that was Raven. Then would he? It wouldn't hurt actually. The seductive Raven had given him a great idea. This was a chance. He could finally settle things. He could find out the truth. Without a second thought, he ran down the hall towards Raven's room. He hadn't felt so excited in his life.

As he ran off, he had still had no idea that he had encountered Love back there. He also didn't see her head materialize from the wall and watch him run away.

"Missed his chance, but I'll give him another shot," she said.

Just then, Intellect's head popped up next to her and asked," Are you trying to get us discovered?"

"I was just having some fun."

"You're fun is going to be the death of us. We can only act if the real Raven isn't here."

"You have to admit that BB does have a nice ass. I should know."

"This is hopeless."

"Don't worry. I got BB for two minutes and we will have the tower access in no time."

"What are you talking about?" Intellect asked.

"You're smart. Figure it out," Love stated as she and Intellect slunk their heads back into the wall.

In her room, Raven sat at the foot of the bed, looking down at the floor. She still couldn't get out of her head. BB walking in on her and having that mesmerized look on his face. He just couldn't stop staring. And then there was his name for her: Angel. What did it mean? The best answer was that he liked her. And not in the idea as a friend

"That's ridiculous. I mean, it couldn't-" she the stopped. It wasn't by her will. It was as though trying to believe that BB didn't feel that way about her. She wanted him to like her. As a friend. Right? And then she thought again of how kind he was, how loyal he was, and how caring he was.

"Do I like him or not?" she asked herself. She was only friends with him. Yet there was something else. Something yearning for him. She felt it many times before, yet she always dismissed it. And many times she hated herself for doing so. And then there came Trigon's coming and fall. She had nearly lost her friends. But ever since then, she thought more and more of how close she came to losing BB. Confused, she tried to find out of the answer. Next thing you know, she's thinking about him more and wanting to be around him more. Except her and BB now rarely talked to each other. She wanted to get this settled with, but what good would it do her if he wasn't around and she wouldn't swallow up the courage and go to him.

Just then, a barrage of knocks then assaulted her door and her ears. "Must be Starfire asking me how I feel," she said, rolling her eyes. She got up from her bed and walked to the door. "Look Star, I'm fine and I don't'-"

"It's BB. I want to say something," an excited voice replied from behind the door.

Raven's heart seemingly skipped a beat upon hearing this. He wanted to talk? To me? About what? She took a deep breath and told herself that it probably was nothing. Without a second thought, she opened the door and was faced with BB, who was grinning from ear to ear.

"Hi," he said.

"Same. What is it?" she asked.

"Well-" he began, but he suddenly stopped. His mouth dropped from a grin to just hanging open. His face then broke out in the deepest shade of red. You see, People sometimes go to do things and when they get there, something suddenly tells you that this is not a smart move. For BB, this was becoming reality. He just got the idea from some weird seductive Raven. (Was it her anyway? Was it my imagination? If she wanted to go out, why didn't she ask me? But, it's supposed to be the guy who does it, right? Even if that means the girl wants to but waits for a response? I don't know. Jeez, this seemed so easy two minutes ago. What do I-?)

Raven's voice then broke him out of his daze. "Are you okay?" he looked down at her, noticing that her eyes were darting back and forth and she was fumbling around with her hands.

(Straight to the point. No turning back,) he thought. "Raven (Angel)," he said. She then locked her beautiful eyes with BB, who was pretty much going to sweat buckets any minute. "I've been thinking. Things between us have been a little weird. I mean, for a long time. And then there was yesterday."

"Yes."

"Maybe we should really talk this out. I guess the best way…would be…to…"

"Is this going to be any longer?" she asked.

"Togooutwithme," he quickly shot out.

"What?"

"Would you like to go out on a…a…"

"You mean a date?"

"Pretty much," BB said.

Raven suddenly felt her face going red. BB noticed this and thought (Oh great. I made her weird. Just my luck. I should of-"

"Okay," Raven replied, getting her together

BB nearly passed out at hearing her reply," Excuse me."

"I said okay. Gives us a chance to talk."

"Okay. Great. So…uh…meet me at front hall at seven?"

"Whatever." Raven replied.

"I'll see you then. I guess," he said and began to walk off down the hall.

"Just a minute," Raven called back to him. He stopped and turned around, looking back at her. "Tell this to anyone, especially Starfire, and I will kill you."

"Whatever you say," BB said with a smile, for he knew by her tone that she was jocking rather then actually meaning it. "By the way, we should wear something a little more casual then what we have on."

"As long as we get to go."

BB quickly disappeared behind the corner. Raven leaned against the doorframe and took in a huge breath of fresh air. (I can't believe I said yes.) She thought. Even so, she realized that this was the chance she needed. She was going to set things straight with BB. "I need to find out whether BB likes me the same way or not. And if he does-" without an idea of why she did, she smiled at thinking that.

And down the hallway, also unaware of if it was by his own freewill, BB then jumped up into the air and pumped up his fist.

"I told you it worked," Love said.

"That all depends on if your idea is right," Intellect said.

"Look, its simple. Raven goes out with BB. In turn, we can go into the tower and have a little fun.

"Oh boy! I wonder if Starfire will let me give her a makeover!" Happy joyously yelled out.

"Fine, so we see if the Titans could deal with a few more Ravens. I assume it would work. But, why let the original Raven go out with Beast Boy. I do feel affection for him, yet you have a stronger emotional attachment towards him. How does that help you?"

"I have my motives. Don't you worry."

What is Love planning? Will BB and Raven's "date" let each other discover how they feel for one another? Chapter 5 is coming soon!
