Ok, people having been BUGGING me to do this fic. It's my first BBRAE short story so bear with me ok?
Summary: BB has discovered his love for Raven, but Raven has not. BB asks Rae to go with him to the park. You know, like Robin and Star in the first story.
So…
Short Story No. 4: Love will follow a.k.a Will Love Follow?
Lightning crashed.
A green imp perched on an unpolished bronze bench. A beautiful, pale teenage girl in her teens sat opposite him. It started to rain.
To Beast Boy, Raven seemed illuminated by the sunset. Oblivious to the booming of thunder, he stared bug-eyed at the indigo-haired adolescent. (A/N: AARGH, BEEPING descriptions.) Though she didn't exactly have an angelic heritage, the love-struck Teen Titan felt like she had come down from the skies to the dreadful earth below.
Raven, however, had a different perspective of things.
She saw a drenched, bug-eyed green teen sitting on a rusty old bronze bench. The way he stared at her made her uncomfortable. Wary of the imminent storm, she stared with distaste at the drooling figure. To her, BB didn't look like some angel from heaven, but a hyperactive maniacal green video-game addict.
'What?'
'Raven…?'
'What?'
'Raven………'
'What?'
'Ra-a-a-a-a-v-e-n-n….?'
'What before I send you to another dimension.'
Beast Boy reached inside the depths of his shoe and brought out an indigo box.
With an almighty boom, a bolt of lightning split the sky as the clouds tore bringing unmerciful rain unto the people below.
The lid of the box opened slightly…
BOOOOOOOM
… A little more…
'Just get ON with it!'
'Alright, alright…' Beast Boy swiped of the lid of the beribboned four-cornered container.
Raven gasped
Inside, set in lavender velvet, was a fourteen-carat diamond ring. The diamond had been tinted with pale purple. Beast Boy looked at Raven earnestly.
'Raven, a little while ago, since that time you agreed to play volleyball…'
'I never agreed. You forced me.'
'… I realized what feelings I had for you. And I've got a feeling, that deep down inside, you do have some too.'
'Beast Boy…'
'Like that time you saved me in that place with the red chippy thing…'
'Beast BOY…'
'And that…'
'BEAST BOY!'
'…Shutting up now.'
'The truth is…' Raven outstretched her arms. 'I really thought you didn't like me. Until you got trapped in my mind… and… you saved me. But I never realized you actually are serious.'
'So…'
'I'm not actually that inclined to go THAT far…'
'Well, there's a first time for everything.'
Raven took a look at the purple tinted diamond. 'You know… you're right. Maybe if we start now…' She took the box. '…Love will follow.'
Beast Boy smiled. As they walked off into the pouring rain, they held hands.
Raven never saw the overactive green game-station addict in the same way again.
FIN
