"What the hell, is this place even a restaurant" asked Beast Boy, who finally realized Raven had tricked him. "Isn't this your goth poetry club…place"
"Yeah, if I said we were going here, you wouldn't have come. Besides, it's not that bad, the people here are really nice, despite the way they look. Just think of a bunch of me's runnin around and you'll be fine." Said raven with a slightly triumphant smirk on her face. (I used goth for a lack of a better word, I go to those poetry places all the time, they are really fun)
"I wouldn't be so sure about that. So what, are you gonna read a poem or something." Beast Boy said, obviously joking around.
"Yep" was all she had to say to shut him up.
"You, you're gonna read a poem" said Beast Boy with astonishment in his voice. "Did you write it yourself?"
"I did, it kinda took me about a month to get it just perfect, I hope you like it" said Raven, enjoying the whole 'what the hell is going on' look in Beast Boy's eyes. She enjoyed it when she kept him guessing about what she was going to do.
"Why would you care if I liked it, and I'll bet it'll be great." As he said this, a caring smile came over his face. He would have to keep that in check in this kind of place he thought. "Come on, let's go, the line is getting pretty long"
But raven did care if he liked it or not, he was the whole reason he wrote the poem. Without him she would feel even emptier then she normally thought she felt.
"Thank God, there's a table in the back corner" yelled Raven over the chatter. It was just loud enough that she had to yell. "It's a couple's booth, I hope you don't mind." 'This is going just as I'd hoped' she thought as she smiled a little mischievous smile. Beast Boy didn't seem to notice
"A couple's booth would be great, wait—that sounded really weird. Anyways, when are you gonna sign up?"
"I'm gonna sign up right now with that guy before it's all filled do you want me to sign you up?" She laughed on the inside because of the ridiculous offer. 'Beast Boy and poetry don't seem to mix' she thought, still having a good inner laugh.
"Sure." One word had rendered Raven, Raven of all people speechless. As she stared at him, mouth a gape, he just asked "What, can you sign me up? I might as well try it."
"You were giving me crap about the whole poetry thing and now you want to try it. I'll sign you up on one condition, you don't do something stupid because I'm a regular here and I don't want hem kicking me out because my bo-sorry, friend messed up everyones night" 'I hope he didn't notice, I really hope he didn't notice' she thought as she felt the blood rushing to her face.
"Deal, oh, and I wanted to ask you a few questions after your poem, but I kinda need one answered now. Why did you ask me to come here with you?" he didn't want to ask why she asked him out because he wasn't sure it was a date. He just hoped for the best.
Um, I… uh… I've kinda…..kinda wanted to for some time now. It wasn't to s-s-s-sudden, was it?" Her stuttering only made her face even redder along with the fact that Beast Boy had enough sense to ask why.
"That's all I wanted to know, and Raven….that makes me feel really good that you would want to ask me, thanks." he said with sincerity in his voice.
"You're welcome" was all she could say. The rest got caught in her throat. "I'm gonna go sign up now, be back in a minute." As she was walking up to the man with the sign up sheet she was mentally yelling at herself for letting that slip out. 'I don't even know if he likes me yet, hoe could I let that slip out'
"Raven, would you like to sign up for a reading" asked the man with the sheet. He was tall and had shoulder length black hair. He wore a sleeveless shirt and black cargo pants tucked into leather combat boots.
"Yes, could you sign me and my friend up? His name is Beast Boy, and this is his first time I think"
"Wait, wait, wait, wait. You are here with Beast Boy, the same Beast Boy I'm thinking about. You're goin out with him. Holy crap, he just doesn't seem like you're type Rae" yelled the emcee who was laughing himself silly with the strange fact.
" SSSSSHHHH, I'm just goin to eat with him…. and that didn't help my argument one bit did it" she asked as the man just shook his head, holding back another laugh. "I'm just seeing if he likes me back, so don't tell anyone" she whispered.
"Aw, how sweet, secret love, and it's not even spring." Seeing the distressed look in her eyes he quickly added "I'm sorry Rae, I didn't mean to laugh, and I'll bet he's nice."
"Just sign us up so I can get back, I really need to sit down, and don't tell anyone till I give you the okay" she whispered as she turned to walk back to the little green changeling.
"Alright, were signed up and ready to go, the only bad part is were right after Sharon, she's the house favorite, so you better have something good up your sleeve if you don't want us both thrown out" said Raven as she sat down next to Beast Boy. The booth looked a lot bigger when she was standing because she was sitting Right next to him, shoulder to shoulder.
"That's just great, and I hope it's something good. Now about my questions, number one, was I sick the last few days" he asked as he starred into her eyes.
"You weren't sick, my brother…..sort of……poisoned you. But believe me, he had everything under control. Alright what is the next one?"
"Why did you say I was still sick and give Cyborg coordinates to who knows where?" His eyes never left hers as he asked his question.
"I….I wanted…..to spend more time with you without interruptions from the others. Dravin isn't much of the interrupting type so I'm not worried about him" she said, beginning to like the way Beast Boy looked at her eyes and at nothing else when he talked to her. She felt good that it wasn't her body he was attracted to, if he was attracted to her at all.
'She wants to spend time with me…me of all the people she could relate to at this club' he thought. He realized he had one more question…. and he was starring into space. "I've only got one more, but that can wait until later….. Hey…..I think it's your turn, good luck Raven"
"Thanks, be back in a minute." As she said this her palms began to feel sweaty and her head seemed to spin. 'Get it together Raven; you do this all the time. Just not with him here" she thought as she looked at Beast Boy from the corner of her eye. 'Here goes everything.'
"Next up is one of our favorites, she saves your asses on a regular bases and she seems to be on a date, but don't tell anyone" said the emcee over the speaker system.
"Why did you have to go and do that, now it's gonna be hard for me to just show my face around here anymore" Raven yelled through clenched teeth, he had just made everything harder for her. Especially since some one shined a spotlight on Beast Boy, he couldn't hold back the laugh he was containing the whole way over.
"Thanks, now that you know why I'm her tonight you probably already guessed who I'm with…….if anyone knows; tell me who is operating the spotlight tonight. Alright… here it goes. This is called LOVE"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the time I wake
Till' the time I sleep
And even in my dreams
I think of you
I like to talk
You like to play
But I just sit and stare
But only when I'm with you
I never thought this could happen
These feelings that I have
I feel lust
I feel passion
I feel the need for you
Is it love or obsession
Friendship or desire
I don't know
But I want it forever
And I never want it to go away
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The crowd was awestruck, speechless, paralyzed, and couldn't believe their ears. Was this the same Raven who thought so little of herself. This couldn't be her. Raven….writing about love. It just couldn't be.
Beast Boy was the first to stand up and applaud with all he was worth. After the applause died down she took her last bow and went back to her seat. All the while signing autographs and accepting praise from her peers.
"Raven, that was beautiful. I didn't know you could write like that." The poem had brought a tear to his eye. He knew it was for him. He knew because she looked at him the entire time she was talking.
"Thank you…..thanks a lot Beast Boy. That means a lot to me, and I think you're up" she whispered as the emcee called Beast Boy's name.
"So, would you look at lover boy over here? Tell'em all your name buddy" announced the emcee as gave BB a hearty pat on the back. "Good luck out there" he whispered
"Um…hi….for those of you that don't know I'm Beast Boy and this is my first time doin anything like this. So if it sucks I have an excuse. Um…my poem is called When You're Not There, alright here it goes." Beast Boy said his poem with a dry voice and a slight bit of fear in the way he spoke.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you're not there
My life has no meaning
Yours does but it looks to have no feeling
You think I'm there but you won't touch me
Or hold me
Everything is dark and in a shadow
You think I'm okay by the way I look and sound
But you don't know I cry at night
Wondering what I've lost and found
Nothing can change between me and you
It's all dark and scary, but not to you
You think that I'm happy and cheerful
But all that you think of me is untruthful
I can't explain what I fell when I'm with you
I feel safe, happy, everything I've never felt before
My friends say you're ugly
But I say you're cute
Oh what the fuck, it's me and you
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Again the audience was awestruck. Raven most of all, because she had noticed that he didn't even pull out a piece of paper to read off of. "Holy shit dude, that was excellent, and you say this is your first time. That's unbelievable" said the emcee, who was still standing with his mouth hanging half-way to the floor.
Suddenly the audience burst into tears, applause and whistling. 'They must have liked it' he thought. As he approached their table he was suddenly, along with the audience, standing with his mouth a gape. Raven was crying, and she wasn't faking. He couldn't tell if they were tears of joy or sadness. "Raven what's wrong, was it something I said" he asked as he put his arms around her trying to comfort her.
"It was everything you said Beast Boy that was beautiful, who did you write it for?" She already knew the answer, but she wanted to mess with him.
"Do you really want to know" he asked, as raven nodded her head in approval. "I……I wrote it…….I wrote it for you." He was waiting for the big 'you had no right to' or 'that was totally uncalled for' he was so used to hearing. Instead he found his face locked with hers in a powerful kiss.
His hands moved to her hips as her hands moved over his shoulders and around his neck. She knew it was a corny position, but she didn't care, she just wanted to be with him. Just as they pulled away and smiled at each other, the man operating the spot light shone it down on them. But the whole place had seen it without his help. Beast Boy and Raven were blushing beat red at what had just happened. For Raven, it was being in front of her peers. For beast boy, it was because he was in front of total strangers.
"Would you look at that, now that is a sight for sore eyes. Looks like his poem was too much for our Raven……..wait a second, why isn't anything blowin up like it normally would?
"I don't know…… this whole place should be blown to bits because of that" answered Raven, still recovering from the kiss. As she answered her eyes never left Beast Boy's and his never left hers.
"So, it was that good huh? I thought it was better." He just laughed at his lame little crack. Everyone just stared at him like he was a pot head. Raven was no different, although she found some humor in it. She just winked at him letting him know it was funny. She thought he got the message. So she didn't say anything
"Come on, let's get out of here. It's getting claustrophobic around all these people." whispered Raven
"You read my mind" agreed Beast Boy. As they walked out they were shaking hands with random people and some girls and some guys looked disappointed that both of them were taken.
