Beast Boy's POV

And, true to my word, I didn't annoy her.

Not once today did a purposely get on her nerves. No jokes, no offers for video games. Nothing.

Proud?

You should be.

She actually asked me if something was wrong too. Because I guess without my constant jokes, I'm a bit quieter. But she had been in the main room for ten minutes without me saying anything except "'Morning."

Prouder?

Good.

But, the thing is, now I'm really bored. Robin is in his room tracking his newest lead on some bad dude. Cy is fixing up the T-car. I have no one to play video games with. Except Star and Raven. And, well, you can't really play with Starfire without every few seconds having to explain something that's going on in the game.

So that leaves Raven.

And we all know I can't ask her to play.

So that's why I'm here. In the main room.

Sitting. By myself. Talking to no one.

Well, actually, Star passed by a few minutes ago, squealing something about "the mall of shopping." I can understand why Rae never wants to go with her.

Wait, I hear someone coming. It really does come in handy having animal senses sometimes, you know.

I look up to see the doors sliding open, and Raven steps into the room. She has her nose in a book, a teacup in hand. Must be refilling.

I don't think she sees me.

I stare.

She walks.

I cough.

She stops.

"Hi Raven."

"Beast boy."

And then she goes on making her tea.

Oh, I have a good idea. This won't annoy her, for sure. …I think.

"Hey Raven, do you think-"

"No." Hey, that wasn't fair!

"Uh, okay. I was just going to ask if I could try some of your tea, but…" I want to see why she loves it so much. It's probably really bitter or something.

"Oh."

She turns around, a blank expression on her face.

" I thought that you were going to ask me to play one of your stupid games. But, I guess if you want some, you could…"

"Sweet!" I jump up, heading towards the counter. She hands me a cup, and pulls a box out of the cabinet.

"What kind?" she asks. What kind? What kind? Dude, I don't know teas!

"Uh…Whatever you're having." There. That didn't make it sound like I know nothing about it, right?

"Alright."

She pulls two bags out of the box, and puts one in my cup, which is filled with hot water. Dude, I seriously know nothing about tea. What now? The extent of my knowledge on tea is that you drink it, and…That's about it. What about the little bag?

"Uh…" I stutter. I don't want to seem like an idiot. I'm trying to prove to her that I'm not an idiot!

"Give it a few minutes, then take the teabag out and drink it." She takes her cup, and starts to walk away.

"Thanks" I say, as she's leaving.

I bring the tea back down to where I was sitting before. How long is a few minutes. Two, three? What am I waiting for to happen?

I'm glad Raven didn't mind making me tea though. I was half expecting her to yell at me for interrupting her, making her take longer or something. So, I guess she doesn't really hate me.

Awesome!

I look down at the tea. It's turned a weird, brownish color. It's been a few minutes right? I take the teabag out, and throw it away.

Now there's only one thing left.

To drink it.

I raise the cup slowly to my mouth.

I smell it. It smells…odd.

Well, here goes nothing.

Hey, it actually tastes good! Really good!

I was kind of expecting it to be some bad, yucky tasting drink. No wonder Raven likes it so much. And this stuff is healthy too?

Sweet!

I guess Raven has good tastes in things. Maybe I should ask for one of her books, too. Maybe they're funny.

…Well, you never know, right?

'Kay, well I was just writing this really quickly before heading out shopping. Schools coming up way too soon guys.

Sorry if this chapter seems kinda rushed.

Later,
