Chapter 2: Good Mornings and Stankball

Beast Boy woke up and gave himself a good stretch. He felt oddly good this morning. Not like when he woke up after become the Beast, but a good in the sense that he felt happy. He didn't know why, he just did. It was like a warm hug was coursing through him. He jumped out of his bed and decided to go get some breakfast.

He was whistling as he walked down the hall that led to the common room. A door up ahead opened and Raven stepped out. She stretched and then saw Beast Boy walking towards her. He didn't know why, but he smiled at her. And she didn't know why, but she smiled at him.

'Dude, I've never noticed how pretty Raven is,' he thought as he smiled at her. 'Especially when she smiles like that. I like her eyes. She has really pretty eyes. And I like her hair. It's so… different. It's purple, but it's real, not died. And she has that little strand that falls into her face every so often, like right now.'

"Morning," he said at last, feeling his heart race for a second.

"Good morning," she said shyly, tucking the loose violet strand behind her ear. She had woken up feeling better than normal. Usually she always woke up with the feeling of dread in the pit of her stomach, which she would meditate for an hour to get rid of. But this morning that feeling of dread wasn't there. Instead this odd bubbly, happy feeling was there. She had actually let out a giggle after she yawned.

'Wow, I've never noticed how cute Beast Boy is,' she thought to herself as she fixed her strand of hair. 'He's so handsome, even if he is green. It's a nice green, though. He's getting taller, too. I never really noticed. He's got to be as tall as me now. And he's not so scrawny any more. I like his body. Oh gosh, did I just think that?' She blushed. 'And he has such beautiful eyes, they're electrifying. I like it when he stares at me like that.'

"So, do you wanna walk with me to breakfast?" he asked shyly, looking at the floor.

"Uh… okay," she said shyly and playing with her hands. "As long as you're not mad at me."

"Why would I be mad at you?" asked Beast Boy.

"Well, we were fighting yesterday," said Raven sadly.

"Oh, yeah about that," said Beast Boy scratching the back of his head nervously. "I'm sorry."

"No, I'm sorry," said Raven looking at the floor. "I shouldn't have been so mean to you. And you're not self absorbed."

"What?" asked Beast Boy.

"Well, yesterday I kind of said that you were too obsessed with yourself to notice anything else," said Raven still looking down. "And that's not true. I'm sorry."

"Well, I'm sorry too," said Beast Boy. "I'm sorry that I said your butt was big."

Raven looked up quickly. "You… you said that my butt was big?" she asked, hurt.

"Uh, well, yeah, but I didn't mean it," said Beast Boy quickly, knowing that he had made Raven feel bad. "I was just mad at you. I really don't think you're fat or anything. Actually, I think you've got a really nice body." The moment that left his lips he felt the blood rush to his cheeks and his heart race.

Raven felt her cheeks blush and she bit her lip, trying not to smile. "Oh… well, thank you," she said, unable to make eye contact with him. She knew that he was feeling very embarrassed at saying that and couldn't stop from smiling. Finally she looked at him and said, "So do you want to go to breakfast or what?"

"Okay," he said, still feeling flustered.

Raven closed her door and the two walked to the common room, side by side. They were silent, but both felt a little… weird. They had never felt like this around the other before, and it was actually nice. Really nice. They both felt themselves, and the other, smiling as they walked.

Cyborg was cooking and Starfire and Robin were already eating. The doors to the common room swooshed open and in walked Beast Boy and Raven… together! Robin stopped in mid-chew and all three watched as the two came over to the table and sat down. They actually seemed quite pleasant.

"A morning of goodness be to you this morning," said Starfire. "Friends, have you done the making up?"

"Yes, we have," said Raven, a little of her blush still remaining on her cheeks.

"Well that's good," said Cyborg. "How long will this last?" he asked under his breath so they couldn't hear.

As all five ate it was very quiet. Beast Boy kept glancing over at Raven, and she was doing the same to him. When their eyes would meet they would blush and look away. This did not go unnoticed by the other three Titans.

"Um, could you pass me a napkin?" asked Raven to Beast Boy.

"Sure," he said quickly grabbing one and passing it over to them. "But I don't think you need one though, you're always so neat." As he handed the napkin to her their fingers touched and a shock was sent through their systems.

"I'm not that neat," giggled Raven and she looked away once she had the napkin in her hand.

"It's not a bad thing," said Beast Boy smiling. "Heck, I wish I was as neat as you."

"You do?" she asked smiling back. "Well, maybe I can teach you sometime." She batted her eyes, without knowing it, and wiped her mouth with the napkin.

The other three just stared at them. They had completely forgotten about their breakfast and watched the show that was unfurling in front of them. They'd never seen anything like this in their whole life. Not only were Beast Boy and Raven getting along, but they were… flirting?

"I'd like that," said Beast Boy looking at her with soft eyes that just about made Raven melt.

"If you want, we can go to your room after breakfast and I'll show you how to organize it," she said pretending to eat, but she was just pushing her food around her plate. "I mean, if that's alright with you."

"Yeah, that sounds great," said Beast Boy putting his fork down. "Well, I'm done."

"Me too," she said and quickly stood. The two quickly headed off towards Beast Boy's room. The three could have sworn they heard the two laughing and giggling as they ran off.

"What the heck was that about?" asked Robin.

"I do not know," said Starfire. "Never have I seen Beast Boy or Raven act like that towards each other."

"And were they flirting with each other?" asked Cyborg.

"Something is very wrong here," said Robin.

Raven had never really been in Beast Boy's room, and for good reason. The entire room was covered with piles of clothes and trash. There was a slightly sour smell emitting from it and Raven covered her nose.

"I guess we've got a lot of work ahead of us," said Raven, giggling.

"Uh, yeah," said Beast Boy chuckling. "I guess I let it go a little too far, huh?"

Raven giggled and said, "Well, I'd be lying if I said that I've seen worse." Beast Boy laughed and watched as she examined his room. "But it's not an impossible job."

"Well I've never known you to give up on anything," said Beast Boy walking over to her, a little hesitantly and shyly.

"That's not true," said Raven humbly and shaking her head. "I've… given up before. Anyway, let's start by going through these piles of clothes."

"Wait a second," said Beast Boy stopping her from attacking one of the many mounds of dirty clothes. "When have you given up?"

"You know," she said holding one of her arms nervously. "When I let myself become the portal and allowed Trigon to come. I had… given up."

Beast Boy looked at her and saw how sad she became when she talked about it. "Well, no one's perfect," he said with a nervous laugh. "Besides, if you hadn't done it, then we never would have gotten rid of Trigon for good."

Raven looked up from the spot she had been fixating on and saw Beast Boy smiling kindly at her. She felt herself smile back and feel a little better. "So, do you want to get to work or not?" she asked tossing a pile of clothes at him playfully with her powers.

"Oh, so that's how it's gonna be, huh?" he asked with an evil grin. "Cuz I don't know if you know this, but we make all the stankballs from the stuff in my room." He bent down and began to gather a pile of clothes and trash and formed them into a ball, almost as if he was making a snowball.

"Bring it on," she said with her own smirk and made her own stankball without even having to touch anything on his floor.

"You asked for it," sighed Beast Boy and he chucked the ball of clothes and trash at her head. She ducked out of the way and nailed him with her own stankball. He was sent onto the ground and Raven started to laugh. Three piles in his room exploded with her powers and she quickly covered her mouth.

"I… I shouldn't have done that," she said putting her hood up.

"What, are you kidding?" laughed Beast Boy picking himself up. "Of all the places to let your powers loose, this is the best place! Because no matter what your powers do no one can ever know the difference." He made another stankball and got ready to wing it at her. "So come on, let's do this," he said getting his voice very low and serious.

Raven thought about what he said and put her hood down. "So, you don't mind if I destroy your room?"

"Are you kidding?" he asked. "Look at it! It's already destroyed."

"Oh, well in that case…" She made four stankballs with her powers and pelted Beast Boy before he even got a chance to hit her. She laughed and soon his entire room was one giant battlefield. Poor Beast Boy could barely touch Raven, but he did get a few good shots in.

Once in a while Cyborg or Robin or Starfire would pass by Beast Boy's room and hear the two screaming and laughing and random things exploding. They didn't dare knock on the door to see what was going on in there. They weren't sure what was going on, but they were sure that they didn't want to know.
