Chapter 10 - CALLING HOME

A plethora of sounds erupted as Gar and Raven entered the restaurant. The Cafe Prückel was a pretty well known tourist attraction. People of all races could be found within its walls. As the Maitre'd ushered them to their seats, languages from all walks could be heard as they passed tables. German, French, English, Italian. This was a popular spot for tourists. Gar bent over in an exaggerated bow to let Raven in her seat. She decided to humour him and curtsied.

As they sat, the clatter and cling of plates could be heard around them. Their elbows on the table, heads resting on their hands, they just stared at each other; blocking out all ambient noise.

"Okay, Raven was the first to break the silence, "Lets play a game." Gar's head perked up.

"You're not one to start the games."

"What can I say; people do crazy things when they're hungry." As she spoke the waited made his way to their table. Raven smiled up at him and ordered something in German.

"Uh, okay. What did you get?"

"Surprise," Gar visibly gulped, "Relax, you'll like it. Anyway, back to what I was saying. I'm going to call my best friend in Paris who I'm supposed to have dinner with in 12 hours." Raven picked up an imaginary phone off the table and put it to her ear. "Ring, Ring. Ring, Ring."

Gar looked on amused and decided to play along picking up and imaginary phone himself, "Àllo?"

"Kori? Ici Raven."

"Ahhh…."

"Comment ça-va?" Gar's eyes widened, recognizing the words.

"Ah, bien, et toi?"

"Kori, ma vacation est incroyable!" His face went from enlightened recognition to that of complete confusion.

"Ahh.. Y'know, I've been practicing my English recently so you wanna talk in English?"

Raven smiled, "Yeah, okay, that's a good idea. Ummm... I don't think I'm gunna be able to make it for lunch today, I'm sorry. I... I met a guy on the train, and I got off with him in Vienna. We're still there."

"Are you crazy," Gar started to get into it and played up the role.

She chuckled then nodded, "Probably."

"We-well is he Austrian? Is he from there?"

"No, he's passing through like me. He's American. Flying outta here tomorrow."

Gar furrowed his eyebrows in mock concern, "Why'd you get off the train with him? What if he's like a psychopathic killer? Or… or…"

"Well... he convinced me. Well, actually I was," she smiled, "I was ready to get off the train with him after talking to him a short while. He was so sweet, I couldn't help it," Raven brought her voice down lower, "We were in the lounge car, and he began to talk about his ideas. He has such an innocent, almost cloying, poetic mind. I think that's when I fell for him. Just the idea of this little boy with all those beautiful dreams. He trapped me." They both sat there, staring for a long while.

"And he's so cute! He has beautiful green eyes," Gar closed his eyes, "nice big lips," he back-pouted his mouth, "messy hair, I love it. He's kind of tall, and a little clumsy. I like to feel his eyes on me when I look away." Gar reopened his eyes and smiled at her. She thinks I'm good looking. God, how beautiful she is! How beautiful!

She gave him an evil smirk, "He kind of kisses like an adolescent, its so cute."

Gar snapped out of his trance, wide eyed with shock, "Adolescent?"

Raven leaned in close to him, just above a whisper, "I'm only telling her that so not to make her jealous," and winked at him.

"Yeah, we kissed," she jumped back into character, "It was so adorable. As the night went on, I began to like him more and more. But I'm afraid he's scared of me. I've been nothing but a bitch. Contradicting everything he says."

"You know what?"

"What."

"I don't think he's scared of you."

"Oh, yeah?"

Gar nodded, "I think he's crazy about you. I mean, how could he not be, right? I've known you for a really long time," he winked at her, "I got a good feeling about this one." She laughed and hung up the phone. He laughed with her and followed.

"Okay, your turn."

"Seriously," he groaned.

"Seriously, come on, you made me play all of your ridiculous games…" He lifted his hands up in defeat and shook his head. Bringing his forearms back on the table he sighed before dialing an imaginary cell phone.

"Toot, toot, toot, toot, toot, toot, toot, toot, toot, toot, toot," he finished his faux dialing, "Ring, ring." She quickly answered the phone.

"Hey dude, what's up," she said in a male-mocking, surfer voice. Gar couldn't help but laugh.

He covered the imaginary mouth piece with his other hand, "For the record, I do not sound like that." Raven grinned and waved her hand back and forth in front of her, mouthing a 'whatever'.

"Hey Dick, what's up?"

"Nothing. So, how was Madrid?"

"Uh, Madrid... sucked! Y'know, Terra and I had our long-overdue meltdown."

"Oh too bad," She feigned concern, then got a wicked smile, "But you know, I did tell you about her. You totally deserve better." He laughed at her attempt at 'Americanizing' her speech. "But seriously are you okay?"

"Yeah. Yeah, I'm great, I'm great! That's the thing, I'm... I'm rapturous. And I'll tell you why. I met somebody. On my last night in Europe, can you believe that?"

"Ah, that's incredible."

"I know, I know. And you know how they say we're all each others' demons and angels? Y'know, opposites attract, that kinda stuff? She's my total opposite. But it works, y'know? She, like, compliments me, balances me. She's the yin to my yang."

"She sounds great.How did you meet?"

"On the train. Yeah, she was sitting next to this very weird couple who started fighting so she had to move. She sat right across the aisle from me. So, we started to talk, and, uh, she didn't like me much at first. She's super smart, very passionate, And I was so unsure of myself. I thought everything I said sounded so stupid. Oh, and did I mention extremely beautiful. I mean like gorgeous. For the first 5 hours that I knew her, I could help but stare," he blushed at his confession, "She has these amazing, mysterious blue eyes. And her silky raven hair goes great with fair complexion." He stopped to stare at her. Then he chuckled.

"When I met her, her hair was in this incredibly sexy messy bun. From the moment I saw her I wanted to undo the clip and jut shake her hair out. She's just… just… amazing. Around her, I feel like this stereotypical, dumb American."

"I wouldn't worry about that." Raven shook the blush from her face. As he complimented her, she turned as red as a beet. She just kept thinking, honestly Gar, you are far from stupid. And you're not that bad looking yourself. Actually, not bad at all.

"No…"

"No, I'm sure she wasn't judging you. No... And by the way, she sat next to you, right? I'm sure she did it on purpose," she smiled at him, "She probably saw this really hot guy down the aisle and decided to try and seduce him." He threw his head back in laughter and had to stop as the waiter returned with their food.

"Here is your Würstel" Gar looked at the plate in front of him and stared up at Raven's laughing eyes.

"Bratwurst?"

A/N: References to Robin and Starfire there, just thought it was nice. This is by far one of the most fun chapters to write. They both kinda letloose and tell each other how they feel, subtly of course. I think it's kinda cute, they're both faling for each other in so little time. I think in the story its about 10 pm so they've known each other for about 12 hours now.
