Hey, ya'll! I'm ba-ack! Sorry for the wait, I just lost inspiration. But I'm better now!
I would put some really clever disclaimer here, but I cannot think of a single witty thing to say, so: I DON'T OWN THEM. I also don't own Hurt So Good, by John Mellencamp or I Could Not Ask For More, by Sara Evans (the songs in this particular chapter).
For when they are singing:
Italic lyrics are Raven singing.
Bold lyrics are Beast Boy singing.
Bold and italic lyrics are both singing.
Here you go!
6:59. One minute to go. Calm down, Garfield, she's going on first, and you'll be fine if she's there. God, why am I so nervous? Beast Boy paced backstage. He glanced up to find that Raven was smirking at him. Damn. She caught me. "Don't say it, Rae. I'm allowed to be nervous, alright?"
She shook her head sympathetically. "Gar, you'll do fine. You know this stuff front to back." He smiled thankfully. It helped, a bit, having her on his side. "And I have faith in you."
He looked up at her and grinned. She cracked a small smile, and the drummer's (whose name was Jack, not that you care) watch started to beep. "Showtime" he sighed. She grabbed her new guitar, kissed his cheek, and walked onstage.
Oddly enough, the brush of her lips across his skin didn't shock him. He had been surprised the first time, but it had happened so often since he started working with the band, he was used to it by now. It would freak out the rest of the team, but after working with her, he knew she was just a total sweetie at heart, and the music calmed her emotions down enough that she could show it.
A familiar tune started to play, and he was snapped out of his thoughts by the melodic sound of Raven's voice.
"Lyin' here with you
Listenin' to the rain
Smilin' just to see
The smile upon your face
These are the moments
I thank God that I'm alive
These are the moments
I'll remember all my life
I've found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
Lookin' in your eyes
Seein' all I need
Everything you are
Is everything to me
These are the moments
I know heaven must exist
These are the moments
I know all I need is this
I've found all I've waited for, yeah
And I could not ask for more
I could not ask for more than this time together
Could not ask for more than this time with you
And every prayer has been answered
Every dream I've had's come true, yeah
Right here in this moment
Is right where I'm meant to be
Here with you
Here with me (yeah)
These are the moments
I thank God that I'm alive
These are the moments
I'll remember all my life
I've found all I've waited for yeah
And I could not ask for more.
I could not ask for more than this time together
Could not ask for more than this time with you
And every prayer has been answered
Every dream I've had's come true (yeah)
Right here in this moment
Is right where I'm meant to be (oh)
Here with you
Here with me
No, I could not ask for more
Than this love you've gave me
'Cause it's all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
No
Yeah
No, I could not ask for more
Ah
Yeah"
Beast Boy laughed to himself. If any one of these people knew who she was, it would seem so out of character for her to be singing some sappy little song about being in love.
"Thanks, ya'll!" She laughed. "Alright, now, I wanna bring out a very special friend of mine to sing with me. Let's make him feel welcome!"
"When I was a young boy,
Said put away those young boy ways
Now that I'm getting older so much older
I long all those young boy days
With a girl like you
With a girl like you
Lord knows there are things we can do, baby
Just me and you
Come on and make it
Hurt so good
Come on, baby make it hurt so good
Sometimes love don't feel like it should
You make it hurt so good
You don't have to be so excitin
Just tryin to give myself a little bit of fun, yeah
You always look so invitin
You ain't as green as you are young
Hey, baby, it's you
Come on girl, now it's you
Sink your teeth right through my bones, baby
Let's see what we can do
Come on and make it
Hurt so good
Come on baby, make it hurt so good
Sometimes love don't feel like it should
You make it hurt so good
I ain't talkin no big deals
I ain't made no plans myself
I ain't talkin no high heels
Maybe we could walkin round, all day long,
Walkin round, all day long
Hurt so good
Come on baby make it hurt so good
Sometimes love don't feel like it should
You make it hurt so good
Hurt so good
Come on baby make it hurt so good
Sometimes love don't feel like it should
You make it hurt so good"
They had been dancing throughout the song, and by the end of it, she was pressed against him, and he couldn't help himself. His arms slid around her waist, his lips pressed against hers, and she did not resist. Not even one little bit.
Awwwww… I like how they hooked up on stage. It's not as good as a morgue, but, ya know, I'll make do with what I have to work with. Reviews please!
