Faith, Hope, and Love
Summary: Raven and Beast Boy share a 'moment' after an argument.
(This is a week after the Titans were first getting started. No one's seen Raven's face yet K?)
"Go." Robin ordered. The green teenager in front of him crossed his arms stubbornly and shook his head. His elf like ears were pulled back but whether in fear or anger Robin couldn't tell. He hadn't had much of a chance to examine the changeling's behavior since they had met until now. This of course made the Boy Wonder wary
"Please Beast Boy. You must go and make things right with friend Raven once again." this came from the alien beauty sitting on the couch beside her metal friend Cyborg who was tightening a bolt on his arm with a wrench. The arm socket had come loose after his visit to Raven's door
"Ya dude, we've already tried and she just about bit my head off."
"Dude! She's not even mad at you! What do you think she'll do to me?" Beast Boy demanded waving gloved hands in he air frantically. Robin sighed and put his face in one hand in frustration
"For the hundredth time. She's not going to hurt you Beast Boy." now his ears were flattened against his head like an angry or mistreated dog
"How do you know? Every time we argue you guys always take her side. All I did was try to make her smile and she starts yelling and telling me off. She should be apologizing to me!"
"If you had listened to her and left her alone she wouldn't have gotten upset." Robin retorted. Beast Boy growled and stormed out the door up to his room.
He sat on the top bunk of his bed and amused himself by throwing and catching a small ball above his head
"Stupid Robin. Why do I even try? She doesn't even care anyway. She just pushes me away like an old book." he grumbled. Of course that wasn't true. Raven would never push away any book but it was the only thing that came to mind. He tossed the ball again and it fell over the side of the bed. He sighed and stared at the ceiling too lazy to go get his only entertainment
"If she would just smile. Maybe even laugh. That'd be good enough for me. But she just holes up in her room and never talks to anyone." Beast Boy rubbed the side of his shoulder absently then swung his legs over the side of the bed. Well holing up in her room wasn't doing Raven any good and he was going to do something about it. Even if she didn't like it.
Raven lay on her bed trying to stop crying. She had just struck out at Beast Boy. She hadn't meant to. And she hadn't really hurt him in any way but she hated not having control. All she had done was lift him about two feet off the ground and then drop him so she could bolt for her room. So why did it make her so upset? Outside someone knocked on her door softly
"I'm not apologizing until he does." the door slid open just a crack and a green eye appeared in the crack
"Raven?" the girl lay back on her bed and tried to decide if she wanted him to leave or not. She couldn't make up her mind; so she tried to keep him at bay until she came to a decision
"What do you want?" she asked in her normal icy tone. The door slid open another inch and the changeling shuffled in a few feet. Raven sat up angrily
"Get out of my room." she ordered. Beast Boy didn't move. Well not in the direction she wanted him to. He edged closer to her position in the room
"Out. Now." Raven hissed through grit teeth. Now the emerald elf hesitated. Raven was mad. And if looks could kill… he'd be dead about a hundred times over
"Look, Raven. I'm sorry." Raven's stone face turned to one of shock. Her mouth opened slightly as she stared at him so he plunged ahead filling the silence
"I'm really sorry for bugging you all the time. I just thought that maybe you were shy and that's why you didn't come out. I guess I was wrong." he paused as if waiting for her to say something. But Raven was silent in shock "Well I'll just leave now." he started for the door but his sharp hearing picked up movement behind him. Raven was standing up. She pulled her hood down making Beast Boy turn away slightly not sure if he should look at the face that hid under the hood
"I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have lost my temper like that." Beast Boy summoned enough courage to look at the girl. For a moment he wondered if this was really Raven. She seemed so icy and heartless when she talked or made fun of him. But her face… It was beautiful.
Her features were pale. Probably from being under that hood all the time. Her hair was purple and cut short to about an inch above her shoulders. A red stone was set in the middle of her forehead; it matched the gems on her belt. But the most amazing thing was her eyes. They were a light violet mixed with dark blue color. Her lips were pressed into their normal thin line
"So… are we cool now?" Beast Boy asked overcoming his stupor and sticking out a hand for the girl to shake. He instantly regretted the action. Raven had made it clear at their first meeting she hated physical contact with people. Raven eyed the hand then slowly slipped her hand into it. Beast Boy felt a smile split over his face and he moved their joined hands up and down slightly
"Yes. We're… cool now." Beast Boy couldn't help what happened next. He wasn't even sure if it was him or Raven that did it. Maybe it was both of them… but he didn't care. The next thing he knew he was kissing the most beautiful girl he'd ever laid eyes on. Raven's arms were under her cape but that didn't make any difference to Beast Boy. He put one hand against Raven's cheek gently. She shied away from the touch then leaned into it. Her eyes closed slowly and Beast Boy felt her arms slide out from under the cloak timidly to pull herself closer to him. Beast Boy closed his lips around hers gently feeling a shudder go through her body. Raven was afraid, he could sense it. He pulled away gently and looked her over. Her whole face was tinged pink as she looked up at him
"You don't have to be afraid of me Rae. All you gotta do is tell me and I'll leave you alone." he told her with a tinge of sadness in his voice
"I don't want to be alone." Raven whispered. She leaned her head back up and let the changeling press his lips against hers once again. He purred in his throat like a cat as she started kissing him back.
And deep in Raven's soul, three seeds were planted. Faith, Hope, and Love. But the greatest was Love…
