CHAPTER TWO
TUESDAY
Beast Boy woke up the next morning feeling pleased with himself.
He and Raven had had a great time last night. He was still kind of surprised Raven wanted to make Japanese style lunch boxes for everyone. They had labeled them, one for Starfire, one for Robin and one for Cyborg. When they got home they would find them.
She had been smiling and laughing so much….
By the time they finished it was 5:45 (because Raven had woken up at 12:00 that morning.) and they left each other's company to go get dressed.
When they got to the café, it took them a while to get talking, but when they did, it was like Raven was a whole different person.
She said he was the first person she had seen in a long time and it was nice to have actual conversations with a friend.
She had been really nice. Ya know, laughing at his jokes and talking to him…but sometimes, whenever he would say something to her directly, her face would go red and she'd start acting funny.
So he worried he was making her uncomfortable.
That was the only problem.
He sighed unhappily-wondering how she would feel today.
RAVEN'S P.O.V.
Rave had not slept much that night. She was embarrassed at how awkward she had been acting last night, and it was haunting her.
Why, Oh, WHY did she begin liking him!
When she woke up Tuesday, she checked her clock. It was 8:00.
She hoped he would be giving her another chance today.
Remembering her thoughts of wearing something different yesterday, today she pulled on grey cargo pants and a scarlet spaghetti strap tank top with a big black 'X' over the chest.
No sooner than she had finished dressing that she went into Ops, looking for the lunch boxes and realizing they were gone. So far, Cyborg was the only one out of bed.
As she came into the kitchen, Cyborg turned and goggled at her.
"Raven? You're out of your room?"
Raven turned and faced him, nodding.
"Yeah…uh…Beast Boy and I were spending some time together yesterday, and so I figured…you guys had…eaten the lunch boxes we had made for you, Robin and Starfire." She answered in a monotone like voice.
He continued to stare, his mouth open slightly.
"So…you mean to say you and Beast Boy made those super-yummy lunch boxes?"
Raven waved her hand as if brushing his comment away.
"Oh, get over it."
Cyborg shrugged and turned away, munching on his toast, but looking like he hoped he hadn't been poisoned.
Just then, Beast Boy came in, talking to Robin. It looked like he was explaining Raven's appearance yesterday, because Robin's face was awestruck.
BEAST BOY'S P.O.V.
Beast boy noticed Raven making tea for herself in the kitchen and ran away from Robin, leaving him to go converse the sudden change with Cyborg.
"Raven!" Beast boy called happily.
She turned and gave him a little smile, then turned back to her tea. Her hair fell in front of her face, so he couldn't see, but Raven was blushing.
He leaned onto the counter.
"So, Raven. Whatta ya want to do today?"
Raven turned back at him and shrugged.
"I dunno. I leave it up to you." she began fanning the steam away from her mug.
RAVEN'S P.O.V.
Beast Boy looked crestfallen, but then his face lifted.
"Well, okay! Whattaya say to a picnic!"
Raven turned so hard she kinked her neck. Not wanting to look stupid and rub it, she just winced a little and gave him a happy face.
She was about to respond when she noticed Cyborg and Robin had stopped talking and were looking at them. She turned as fast as she could and glared at them.
They spun around to face each other and began talking about cheesecake.
"Sounds like fun." She whispered to him.
"Time?"
"ten?"
"Alright!"
Beast Boy sped off to his bedroom. Raven glided out of the kitchen after him and proceeded to her sleeping quarters.
:LATER:
Raven was wearing a grey sundress (half against her will-the other Ravens in Nevermore had taken control of the fashion portion of her mind for that time, but when Raven saw how nicely she looked in it, she agreed) and there was a red silk ribbon in her hair. Her shoes were black sandals and she had placed thin line of lavender eyeliner to base her violet eyes.
She was in the kitchen with Starfire, who was helping her make a picnic lunch.
Starfire had not questioned Raven, only given her a bone-breaking hug.
Raven could tell Starfire was going out with Robin today, for she had clothed herself in a skimpy tickle-me-pink tee-shirt and tight blue jean capris. Her shoes were cute little black AllStar hitops and she was wearing many bracelets and necklaces and glitter lipgloss.
Raven thought she looked like a Bratz doll.
I, the narrator, thought she looked very kawaii.(teehee)
"It is glorious you and Beast Boy have finally decided on the dating!" Starfire said cutely, clapping her hands together.
"Cyborg and Robin and I wondered how long it would take for the both of you to coming around! Both of you seem to be, as Cyborg has placed it, 'clueless'"
Raven flushed.
"Excuse me!"
Starfire looked horrorstruck. She obviously had been forbidden to say that.
"YOU DID NOT HEAR OF ANYTHING I HAVE SAID!"
Starfire quickly finished stuffing the grapes into the picnic basket before making up an excuse and flying out of the room.
Raven sighed. So the other Titans wanted them together, huh? Well, Raven had fallen in love against her will….But what about Beast Boy? He was doing this out of friendship.
Raven sighed again, and finished packing the food just as Beast Boy came into Ops.
"Hey, is that our lunch?" Beast Boy asked her.
Raven nodded.
Beast Boy looked pouty.
"But I wanted to hewp you, Waven!" He did a puppy pout and Raven laughed.
"I'm sorry, Gar, but Starfire already helped me."
Beast Boy laughed and put his arms around her neck.
"Aw, that's ok. Are you done? Is there anything I can do to help?"
Raven smiled inwardly as she finished wrapping a sandwich in ceram wrap.
"Well, if you want a pizza, there's a couple of leftovers in the refrigerator."
Beast Boy smiled and opened the refrigerator door.
When they got to the park, they found it wasn't hard to locate the perfect spot for a picnic.
Beast Boy had found it. It was a big patch of green grass half shaded from the spring sun by a cherry blossom tree.
He called Raven over as he laid out the checkered blanket.
Raven trotted over with the picnic basket.
"Wow, Beast Boy, this place is great."
Beast Boy smiled at her, his fang catching sunlight for a moment as he helped Raven unpack.
They talked and laughed and ate for a long time before there was less than half of the food to finish.
What was left after another half hour was the desert- cookies Starfire had made for them. Raven smiled inwardly at the thought of Robin trying desperately to help his girlfriend make the recipe right.
"Raven?" Beast Boy asked as he reached for a cookie.
"uh-huh?" Raven responded as she took a cautious bite.
"Did you feel a raindrop?"
Raven glanced at him and shook her head carefully.
"Oh. I must have imagined it." He said, looking at the tree branch above him.
Raven looked up at the sky…it did look like it might rain, but not for long. Besides, she would sense it, right?
"Raven?" he said again.
"mm-hmm?"
Raven's head came down again to find the changeling leaning into her face.
"You're a great person to be around." He said, smiling.
Raven felt her cheeks burn again.
"uh…Thank you." She said nervously.
With that he leaned back.
"Well, I think I'm full." He said a couple of silent minutes later.
"um…yeah." Raven said. "You wanna start packing up?"
"okay." Beast Boy said, reaching over for a small box.
Raven had reached for it at the same time.
Their hands met for a moment before they pulled back.
"I-I'm sorry." Beast Boy said, his face turning red.
"N-No, it's'ok….!" Raven said hastily grabbing a few bags and shoving them into the basket.
Beast Boy looked at her.
"Raven…I…want you to be happy when you're with me…to enjoy yourself…so…well… are you happy?"
Raven stopped shoving things into the basket and looked up at him.
"Well…" she started, bringing her hands out of the basket.
"Beast Boy, I-"
a raindrop hit her forehead.
And another.
It was beginning to rain.
"AH NO!" Beast Boy said, quickly grabbing the picnic basket and rolling up the blanket, stuffing it into Raven's arms just as it began to pour.
Raven sprinted ahead, trying to get far enough to start the T-Car (Cyborg had let them use it)…when her sandal caught a muddy hole in the grass.
She fell forward, blanket falling out of her arms. She moaned as she sat up, mud coating the front of her dress.
Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her back before she fell forward again.
Wiping the mud from her eyes, she saw Beast Boy sprawled in front of her. She managed to cough and gasp.
"Beast Boy, are you okay?"
Beast Boy rolled onto his back and sat up, making sure the picnic basket was still shut tightly.
Raven saw his entire front caked in mud, and his face was a little dirty and scratched from rocks in the ground. She imagined how stupid she must look and began laughing.
"Uh…Raven?"
"ahaha…we…hee…look so stupid! Ahahaha!"
The pouring rain drenched her and her clothes began clinging to her, making it heavy and hard to move.
Beast Boy began laughing too.
He stood up after a few minutes of laughing and helped her up, smiling.
Raven was still giggling a little.
"hee hee! That was fun!"
Beast Boy smiled at her.
"You're awesome Raven. You're so unpredictable, yet that's what I like about you."
Raven flung her arms around Beast Boy's middle and looked up at him, rain dripping from her face.
"Thanks. You're the kind of guy who'll make any girl smile."
And with that, she picked up the blanket and headed for the car, leaving Beast Boy to grab the basket and hurry after her.
