Love is like chocolate
It was seven hours later, and she was locked in her room still thinking about it.
When Speedy kissed her she felt so good, so peaceful, and happy that Raven realized Beast Boy and herself wouldn´t work out as a couple ever. She without a doubt still cared for him, she just didnt have those feelings for him.
But did that mean that she had a thing for Speedy? She wasn´t sure. Her emotions were all messed up and despite the fact that she always thought he was a jerk, deep down she thought that he was very attractive. Besides, even if she did have a thing for him, she was dating Beast Boy and that kiss was like cheating on him. Raven flopped down onto her bed and let out a frustrated groan.
- Oh, my God! What am I gonna do?
It was seven hours later, and he was in the guest room, still thinking about it aswell.
Sure, he thought, the bird girl was really hot with curves more dangerous than the Acapulco highway, and sure he might have had a crush on her once upon a time, but kissing her, out of the blue? Speedy sighed and thought about it deeper, ok, she was more than hot, she was smart, funny and deep down the Ice-Queen, was merely a façade and she was loving and passionate too.
Ok, He was in love with her... maybe since the very beginning, that much he had to admit, but still, kissing her out of the blue? Surely he could be smoother than that. Besides she was dating one of his friends - the silliest - but a good friend nonetheless. And if he didn't want to lose her he had to think fast.
When Beast Boy got out of his room that afternoon there was someone waiting for him on the hallway.
Then Speedy shot him and killed him (naaaa, just kidding! o)
- Hey, man! I didn't see ya all day- Beast Boy smiled.
- Hey. I needed to think a little. And. Well I wanted to talk with you about something but not here. Wanna go for pizza? It´s on me- Speedy offered.
- Sure! I'm always up for free pizza!
After a few more long hours of meditation Raven was still confused but hunger won over her worries and she came down to the kitchen. She didn´t expected to find HIM sitting on the couch but there he was. She considered doubling back to the safety of her room, but before her decision was made, Raven was discovered.
- Hey! I was wondering when were you going to show your pretty face down here.
Raven nervously turned to face him.
- Look, Speedy, I don't.
- Wait- He cut her off - Come here.
He patted a seat just beside him.
The shy titan slowly crossed the room to where the young archer sat on the couch.
- Rae, I know you enough to know what are you gonna say.
Raven looked at him, her eyebrow cocked witch curiousity, but she said nothing
- You're gonna say that you´re confused, unprepared and that you need some time- He began- Well, that´s not true. You may be cruelty blunt with everyone, but you lie to yourself all the time. I have seen you snap at everyone who touches you even Beast Boy, but some hours earlier you let me kissed you and kissed me back. If you were not sure or prepared, you wouldn´t have done it ever- He gave a small chuckle - Well at least not without slapping me - he added with a grin.
His joke broke the tension in the room and Raven relaxed.
- I still can- she smirked.
- But you won't.
- And how are you so sure about that?
Speedy looked down and covered his eyes with one hand. When he looked at her again, he had shed the domino mask that Raven had grown accustomed to.
- Cause I know you want me. And I know that I love you.
He closed the distance between them to kiss her but she turned her face.
- But. Beast Boy and I- She hesitated, unsure of what to say.
He cupped her chin and made her face him.
- We talked about it before dinner. He knew you weren´t working, but didn´t know how to ended without your relationship getting weird and he´s been feeling so lonely that didn´t want to lose your friendship. And well, Robin told me about Terra…
Raven looked up.
- He told you that we'll be able to turn her back to life soon?
- Yeah, we all knew the green guy never stopped loving her and so I told him. I wouldn´t had said a word if you weren´t sure! I don´t want to hurt him. But it would have been very unfair when he dumped you over her, right?
- And how do you know that he would dump me? - She asked feigning shock.
- Cause deep down that cold exterior, pretty bird, you have a sugar heart.
- That's not --"
Speedy pressed a soft finger to Raven's lips, silencing her as thier eyes locked.
- Enough talking.
And he kissed her once more. A kiss unlike the previous, more passionate, more tempting. His lips knowingly part hers and his tongue met hers. The couple only breaking apart for the desperate need of oxygen their lungs lacked.
- Speedy. I need to tell you something.
- Yeah, babe? - He pressed a soft kiss to her forehead.
- If you want this to work out you must stop calling me bird-names - she smiled softly.
Grinning against her hair he answered.
- Well, if we're getting serious you should call me by my real name: Roy.
Her gentle smile turned into a grin.
- Ok, Roy. Is it me, or you taste like chocolate?
His grin grew wider as they blushed simultaneously.
- Why can't get enough of me?
Raven rolled her eyes.
- Shut up and kiss me!
- As you wish ma´am.
