Chapter Six
"So, what shall we do?" Beast Boy asked.
Raven sighed. "Alright, I'll try to get things going here."
She thought for a moment, trying to think of things to set the mood. It was a frustrating task for her.
"Beast Boy, I'm not any good at this." she said.
"At what?"
"Setting the mood."
He considered his actions. "Tell you what. I'll massage you, since you massaged me, okay?"
"Sounds as good a plan as any."
Smiling, Beast Boy eagerly approached Raven's back and started to rub her shoulders and neck. He worked his way down to her shoulder blades, as well as her spine. When he reached the lumbar region, he hesitated. Shrugging, he went ahead and massaged there too.
"Thanks." Raven finally said, moving away from him.
"You are welcome, madam!" he chuckled.
Raven shook her head. "Say, Beast Boy, I have some questions for you."
"Sure, go ahead."
"What is it about me that you like?"
"What do you mean?"
"Why do you love me? What is it about me in particular over any other girl that makes you love me?"
He thought over his response. "Well, believe it or not, I like your style. So mysterious, so calm and relaxed. You're smart, you don't take shit from anyone, and you have a strong will."
"So, you like that in a woman?"
"I don't know. I guess I just happened to take a liking to you from being around you, that's all."
"Has Cyborg taken a liking to me?"
"Uh, not that I know of. He just likes you as a friend."
"I see. Is there anything else about me?"
The changeling was nervous. "Well, um...that is...damn, I know what to say, but I don't want to offend or embarrass you!"
Raven glared at him. "Try me."
He swallowed hard before talking. "Well...I, uh...you...have...nice looks!"
"Nice looks? Like what?"
"Well...um..."
"Come on, Beast Boy, you can say it. I won't hurt you."
"You promise?"
"I promise."
"Okay. Now, don't think of me in the wrong way, but...well, you have a nice butt."
"Um...I see. Anything else?"
"Your breasts are...um...perky?"
Raven self-consciously looked at her chest.
"Perky? You call these perky?" She indicated her breasts.
"Well...I don't know. I do know they're sizeable. Right size for my tastes, in fact."
Raven was blushing profusely, and had pulled her cloak around her, to hide her chest from view. Beast Boy noticed Raven's reaction, and decided to stop his descriptions of her features. He also was blushing.
"Bottom line about you Raven is that I think you're sexy."
He blurted out his words as fast as he could, but Raven understood them.
"Thanks. I think."
"Oh, you know you are."
"What? Come on, I'd never think of myself as sexy!"
"Sure, whatever!"
Raven scoffed at him. 'Some first date.' she thought.
"What about me?" Beast Boy asked her.
"What about you?" Raven replied.
"Any comments about me?"
She sighed. "Okay. Well, you do have nice shoulders. Even though you're not really buff, you still have a fair amount of muscle on you. And you do have a nice figure."
"A nice figure? That's the best you can do?"
"What? Do you want me to say how cute your butt is, or how turned on you make me feel?"
"Well, it'd be nice. But what you said will do."
"Good."
Raven finished off her tea and put the empty bottle in the cooler. Beast Boy did the same with his bottle when he finished. Then, he stared at Raven.
He admired her figure in the bright, intermediate moonlight. He especially noticed the appearance of her eyes; they looked like jewels!
"You sure have pretty eyes, Raven." he said, mesmerized.
"You just now noticed them?"
"Sorry. I was too busy staring at everything else."
Raven chuckled. "Well, that's understandable. What else do you think of my eyes?"
"That they're like two sapphires in the moonlight."
"Beast Boy, that was lovely!" She smiled and leaned toward him. "I never really noticed your eyes either, Beast Boy."
The changeling was taken aback. "Really? What are they like to you?"
"A pair of emeralds. Sort of gives you a noble appearance."
"Well, that may be a bit much, but thanks!"
Raven nodded. "Beast Boy?"
"What?"
"Despite everything that's happened with us for all the time we've been together, I'm starting to think that I love you."
Beast Boy blinked in surprise. "You serious?"
"Definitely."
The changeling swallowed. "Well...I love you too!"
"I know."
The two Titans embraced each other.
