One Fine Day
As Beast Boy got closer to the roof, he began to have second thoughts about what he was planning to do. He had just decided that Cyborg was wrong and that he should turn around and leave when Raven opened the door and appeared on the stairwell in front of him. She blushed when she saw him and muttered a small 'hi'.
'It's now or never Beast Boy' he said to himself. He took a deep breath and said "Raven, we need to talk, is there somewhere private we can go?"
"Erm . . . How about my room?" She said, shrugging her shoulders slightly. Beast Boy nodded and he grasped her wrist before racing down the stairs and toward her room. Raven practically flew behind the changeling who was so eager to get to her room and tell her everything. Before long they were stood outside a large door with the word RAVEN written upon it. Raven stepped forward and walked into the room, a nervous Beast Boy following close behind. She walked over to the bed and sat down, the changeling promptly following suit. "So . . ." she stated "What did you want to tell me."
'Ok here goes' "Raven look," he started "I have a confession to make, I should have told you this a long time ago but I never had the nerve to till now. I was always afraid of rejection and what you'd do to me if I told you and . . ."
"Beast Boy, get on with it." Raven said pointedly.
"Oh, right, sorry." He mumbled, blushing slightly, this wasn't going according to the plan he had thought up on the way up the stairs "Well Raven I-I've always admired you from afar and never had the courage to tell you how I felt until now. Raven, I love you." He closed his eyes in anticipation, waiting for her to scream at him like he had known she would all along.
After a few moments of waiting, Beast Boy opened his eyes, curious as to why the blows hadn't fallen. Before him, sat a very distressed looking Raven. Tears shone in her eyes and a few small objects behind her, encased in a black mass, were floating a little ways above their original place.
"I knew this was a bad idea." He exclaimed standing up and walking toward the door "I'm sorry Raven, I know you don't like me in that way, so I'll just go, I'm sorry I wasted your time and made you cry."
"Wait Beast Boy, don't go." She said, frantically trying to make him stay while wiping the tears from her eyes.
"Why? You don't love me, otherwise you'd have said you did, I'm just wasting my time." Raven mumbled something incoherently under her breath "What did you say?" he questioned spinning around to look at her
"I am not saying I don't love you Beast Boy." She said smiling slightly "I'm not crying cos I'm upset, well I am, but more because I'm happy. Beast Boy, I don't not love you, but we can never be together, my powers are too dangerous!"
"But," Beast Boy said, racking his brain for tiny loop holes "But your powers can't be that dangerous. Your father was defeated wasn't he?"
"He was, but my powers are still affected by the slightest upset in my emotional balance." Raven sighed, wiping the tears from her eyes furiously
"So why could you love Malchior then? If your powers are so dangerous, why could you love him without killing us all?" he exclaimed, hoping that she would realise she could love him as well.
"I-I don't know." She replied dejectedly "I just could, I didn't try to suppress how I felt or hide it from him..."
"Maybe, maybe that's it then." Beast Boy said, his eyes lighting up as a plan formulated in his mind.
"What do you mean?" she asked sceptically. The objects behind her slowly floated back into place as she calmed down slightly.
"Well, maybe love is like fear," he said, standing up and pacing "When you were afraid and you didn't admit it, everything went crazy, but as soon as you admitted you were afraid, everything went back to normal, or at least as normal as things can get. Maybe if you admitted you loved me, then things would be normal."
Raven sat there and stared at the boy before her, wondering if what he had just expressed could actually work.
"Can we try it, please?" he asked, his eyes pleading.
"I-I don't know if it will work." She said, slight fear lacing her voice.
"Sure, whatever." He replied "you don't think it will work cos I thought of it right? But if it was your precious Robin who had the idea, you'd be all over it, and him, in a second."
"What?" Raven said, perplexed "Beast Boy, it's not because you thought of the plan that I think it won't work, I just honestly don't think it will work."
"Yeah ok, whatever." He said, turning once more and walked to the door "I'll leave. You don't like me Raven, you like Robin, I'll go so your precious lover boy can come and-"
"For god's sake Beast Boy, I don't love Robin I love you!" she screamed, angered by the fact that he didn't believe her and aggravated at his persistence of her supposed feelings toward Robin. She stood up and storming over toward him. She spun him around to face her and, throwing caution to the wind, she locked lips with him. Beast Boy didn't move at first, he was too shocked, but before long, he got caught up in the kiss and returned it with as much passion and ferocity as Raven.
"See," Beast Boy said breathlessly as they pulled apart, "I told you my plan was a good one. Nothing blew up; we're all fine, just like I told you."
"Wow Beast Boy, I never thought I'd say this but, you were right." She said, smirking "I guess I'll have to listen to you more often."
"Yes you will!" he said, smiling "So, does this mean we're going out?" he questioned tensely.
"If you want to." She replied, slightly confused about what she should say or do at this point in time.
"Of course I want to!" Beast Boy exclaimed happily.
"Then yes, we are." She walked forward and wrapped her arms around him before planting a kiss upon his lips. She then laced her fingers with his and they strolled out of her room toward the main room where the other three titans sat, eager to tell them what had happened. Inside, Beast Boy was jumping for joy, for once, he had gotten the girl and she was the girl of his dreams.
