Part 8: Beast Boy Mopeds and Demons

Disclaimer: I do not own the teen titans

BBxRae. Beast Boy writes a letter in hopes of getting a moped... and ends up writing about his favorite empath instead. A little ficcy delving into the two loves of out favorite changeling...

Me, I'm an outgoing kind of guy. I'm funny… easy to get along with… and if ya have a random desire to hang out with a green penguin or something like that, I can do that too. Yep… I'm a real good dude… and I think it's about time I get something I really want. Like a moped.

I mean, really. Let's be reasonable! What isn't there to love about a moped? Sleek, shiny frame… bright light… goes vroom… everything a man could want. I think I could honestly say I'd be content if I could just have a moped…

Heh, Raven's lookin' at me funny now. I think it's because I'm writing. She thinks I'm illiterate or something. Just because I don't do well with all her dreary mumbo-jumbo, she thinks I'm illiterate! Hah! I'll have you know that I once read an entire Dr. Seuss book once… backwards and upside-down, too! I'm not illiterate. Either way, she's looking at me funny and probably thinking that I must be up to something. I mean, I am… sort of… because… ya know… this letter is kinda sorta for you, Robin… to convince you to buy me a moped.

Because you're rich. Don't try and deny it, buddy. I've seen how many R-cycles you've wrecked… and they just keep on showing up nice and shiny and new whenever you need 'em. It takes money to do that, and I know it. So don't try and deny the fact that you could totally get me a moped.

I'd be a really good driver too. I have totally wicked reflexes and… stuff. Oh, and I'd pay real good attention to the road. Nothing would distract me, I swear!

…Raven's still staring at me and it's kind of weird…

You know, she looks kind of cute when she's suspicious. Which is like, all the time. Around me, at least. You know what's really stupid, though? Just because I'm easy-going she thinks I'm an idiot. Granted, I don't use my noggin on a regular basis but that doesn't mean I don't have one. And just because I can laugh once in a while she thinks I'm shallower than a puddle in hell. Yet she's still… really cute when she's all Goth-ish. Which… is pretty much all the time. Right.

…I got distracted, didn't I… Darn this pen. If this was pencil, I'd so erase the last part of the letter but it's not and I don't want it to be all messed up and scribbled on. Anyways, back to the moped. I really think you should get me one. Because, we're tight and all. We're buddies!

Plus, you're like… the leader of the titans and stuff, so it'd show how great you were and how lucky we are if you'd buy me that moped. Think about how cool I'd make the titans look, anyways.

I know I'm already our best-looking dude and all, but just imagine me on a moped cruising down the street… letting our citizens know they were safe from harm. It'd be awesome. With the wind blowing through my hair and Raven on the back waving at people as we passed… well, maybe she wouldn't wave…

…ok, maybe she wouldn't ride at all…

…I wonder why not. She'd look good on the back of a moped. Raven needs to lighten up a little. She's a really cool person to be around, she just doesn't notice it. If she just tried being a little more friendly, she'd have people paying to hang out with her. She's not staring at me anymore, but she's still in the room. I like being around her. Even when she's trying to send half of me into one dimension and half of me into another.

I wish she knew that people really do like her. I wish she knew that I would even give up getting a moped to see her happy more often.

I think… maybe you should buy Raven a moped. Mopeds make people happy, and it's really nice to see Raven happy. I don't know if she'd like one, but if it made her happy then it'd be worth loosing every moped in the universe to her. Robin, I'm distracted again… I know… but I can't help it.

Raven's an amazing person and she means a lot to me. I don't think I'll ever end up giving you this letter, but I just need to write it down. I may not be the brightest thing in the world, but I know I love mopeds a lot…

… and I also know that know matter what Raven thinks I may believe about her and no matter how shallow or stupid she might think I am…

…I love Raven more than mopeds.

Sincerely,

Beast Boy

I slap my pen down on the coffee table and wad up my letter. Raven looks up from where she's begun to read and lifts an eyebrow. I simper and throw it away under her critical gaze. I grin slightly at her as I prepare to leave.

"…What?" she drones. I shrug.

"Demons and mopeds… are pretty cool…" I reply, and leave the room. I hear Raven make a sound of confusion as I exit and then her light form shuffling across the room. She's gone to see what I've thrown away. I don't go back in to stop her. I think she should read it.

Maybe she'll realize I do think about some things seriously.

Maybe she'll decide I might be worth something…

…Or maybe she'll just pity me…

…And buy me a moped.

Author's Note: o.O ... no comment... I know it's short... the next one will be more serious... and hopefully better... sorry if this killed you...
