- Penny for your thoughts?
Raven turned around to find Speedy watching her with a questioning gaze. The young hero had come to help them on a difficult case since Starfire was visiting her home planet.
- You should know that my thoughts word more than that.
- Really? – he said teasingly with an arched eyebrow- What about a chocolate for your thoughts?- asked pulling out two bars and handing out one to her.
She took it but remain silent for several minutes.
- It´s about … Beast Boy.
- And what´s the matter with that boyfriend of yours?
The girl shot an angry glance at him.
- He´s not my boyfriend! we´re just dating.
- Ok, ok. I got it. Don´t get at me. So… what´s the problem with the little troublemaker?
- Actually, I´m the problem.
He took a bite of his chocolate.
- Explain.
Raven looked out through the Tower window. It was an issue hard to explain, even to herself.
- For some time I belived I liked Beast Boy. Don´t laugh! It´s just … he was so kind at me, he still is, and we experienced so many things together. Then he asked me out and I was truly happy about it, but now…
- You really looked at him? – said Speedy mockingly.
- No, stop making fun of me! I don´t even know why I am talking about this with you!
She stood up from the couch but felt backwards when he pulled her down. Raven look at the East Titan and for the first time since they met he looked serious.
- Sorry, can´t help being a jerk, but I do wanna hear you.
- Why? So you can laugh at Beast Boy and me later on your own?
- No. I do like you bout, it´s just that I like to tease people, nothing personal. But I care about you, bird girl, and know that you can´t talk about this with your teammates so, spit it out, I´m listening.
She wasn´t sure, but the boy was right, she didn´t have anyone else to talk about it.
- Just… stop calling me "bird girl"- she signed and continue- Beast Boy is a great guy. It´s just that since we´ve been dating, we spend too much time together and I´m kinda tired of that. And now I have my doubts.
Speedy took a moment before answer her.
- You know, pretty bird? Since the beginning I thought that relationship was a mistake. I mean you´re one of the hottest and smartest girls I met and he is the lamest jocker ever and well, he´s kinda green you know? Everyone can see that you´re anything but a good couple. Nope, you can´t speak yet. What was I saying? Oh, yeah, and if you have your doubts it´s clear that you aren´t in love with him.
- And it is clear because…?
He took a bite of his candy and then leaned looking into her eyes.
- Cause love it´s like chocolate.
He took another bite.
- You can´t get enough of it.
He took another bite.
And then kissed her.
When the long sloppy chocolate kiss left the breathless Speedy stood up and walked to the stairs. When he reached the bottom, looked at Raven´s flustered face and winked.
- Just… think about it, birdy.
The end?
Well, it depends… I´m still on vacations 4 a month or so and got nothing to do, so if anyone wants a next chapter there´s a good chance that I´ll do it.
So, please, be kind and generous and leave a review (if you´re gonna flame me at least do it with proper grammar and well-thought arguments… I hate it when stupid people flame). Anyway, tell me what you think about it!
Kisses, cuddles and cookies!
