Chapter Four:
"I Really Love Disney Now"
Raven had just finished some small talk to a few people while Beast Boy agreed with everything she said. She was leaning against the wall with him next to her.
"He too had noticed all the Disney themes and liked to see how many things shaped like Mickey's head he could find. But now he was bored.
'Under the Sea' was playing and he felt this strong urge to ask the empath to dance.
She ran her finger across the rim of her glass and sighed. But before she could speak Beast Boy did.
"Hey Rae…you wanna dance?" he asked sheepishly. Raven smiled. She couldn't understand it. She figured her emotion would have killed everyone by now. But being around the green elf clamed her now instead of irritate her. He was actually very sweet.
"Yes" she whispered. He took her hand and led her to the dance floor. Only a few couples were actually dancing while others just stood around. The song switched from 'Under the Sea' to 'Beauty and the Beast.'
He put his arm around her slim waist and took her hand in his other. She put on hand on his shoulder and they began to sway back and forth.
"I really love Disney now!" Beast Boy yelled in his head.
"Tale
as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then
somebody bends
Unexpectedly"
This was the best night of their lives but neither one of them would admit it. "This song fits us perfectly" they both thought. Cyborg and Robin sat watching from he side lines motioning to Beast Boy to make his next move. But his full attention was on Raven and nothing else. The world seemed to melt away as he stared into her amethyst eyes.
"Just
a little change
Small, to say the least
Both a little
scared
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the Beast"
They were both a little hesitant, but this felt so right. This wouldn't change anything though. Just make their friendship stronger. But deep down they both wanted more. This was happing so fast. Just the other day Raven felt as though she might rip his head off. But now she wanted to get to know this Beast Boy. The one that's serious but sweet.
"Ever
just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
Ever just as
sure
As the sun will rise"
Raven though no one could ever love her. She was too dark, too creepy, and too weird.
"Rae, I know I said you're weird before but that's what I like about you" Beast Boy said like he was reading her mind.
"Thank you" she whispered. She wrapped her arms around his neck and laid her head on his chest. He blushed and pulled her closer.
"Tale
as old as time
Tune as old as song
Bittersweet and
strange
Finding you can change
Learning you were wrong"
But they were both wrong about each other. Just being themselves was all they needed. Not telling jokes for attention or hiding your emotion.
"Beast Boy I'm sorry" she whispered.
"For what?" he asked pulling away and looking straight into her eyes.
"For always being mean to you" she answered. "I wish I had gotten to know the real you sooner." Beast Boy grinned.
"How do you do it?" she asked.
"Do what?" "
You're always happy" she said.
"Well right now you're he one making me happy" he smiled.
"Certain
as the sun
Rising in the East
Tale as old as time
Song as
old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast"
Suddenly Raven noticed that there faces were only centimeters apart. The both blushed but didn't pull away. Slowly he ran his hand down the side of her face. He brought it to her chin and tilted her head up. Ever so silent her lips were pressed against his. They didn't even heard Robin and Cyborg cheering in the background. "Tale as old as time" Beast Boy smiled as he pulled away.
"Beauty
and the Beast" she whispered.
Tale
as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast
The song ended and they looked into each other's eyes.
"You're the beauty" he whispered in her ear. She gave him a small smile and a tight hug.
"And you're my beast" she whispered back.
