AN: I do not own Teen Titans… if you didn't already know.

Chapter 5

Raven knew that something was up. The whole day had passed and she hadn't heard a single thought from Beast Boy. Well, she heard his thoughts, but none had to do with any plan he had for getting her to have a crush on him. But she knew that something was up. He had an odd, subtle grin on his face and he would look over at her every so often.

She had never felt so nervous. She had always been a step ahead of him and now that she wasn't she was very worried. She also noticed the others acting oddly too, even if it was very slight. They knew something she didn't, but she didn't want to ask. So far she hadn't needed to ask for any help, and she didn't want to start now.

The day was ending and she thought that maybe it had all been in her head. Maybe he wasn't planning anything that day and she was just being paranoid. That is, until Beast Boy burst into the room with a large grin.

"Hey, dudes, who wants to go to the park?" asked Beast Boy.

"Now?" asked Raven. "The sun's setting."

"Exactly," he said with a slight grin that made Raven's heart race.

"Oh, that sounds wonderful!" said Starfire clapping.

"Yeah, that sounds like a great idea," said Cyborg, who wasn't exactly the best actor. Raven caught wind of something immediately.

"Cool, let's go!" said Beast Boy running off to the garage with Starfire and Cyborg following after him.

"Do I have to go?" asked Raven.

"Come on, will it be that bad?" asked Robin.

"I just have a funny feeling that Beast Boy is going to try something on me," said Raven.

"Raven, has he done anything all day?" asked Robin.

"Well… no," said Raven. "Has he given up?"

"That isn't for me to say," said Robin. "So, come on, some fresh air will do you good."

"Fine," sighed Raven and she followed Robin out to the garage where the other Titans waited.

Beast Boy sat in the middle with Raven and Starfire on either side of him in the backseat. He made sure he was a little closer to Raven, though. She really enjoyed this, but she knew she couldn't show that she was. Not to mention she had a bad feeling in her gut.

They finally arrived at the park and they all piled out. Raven reminded herself that no matter what he pulled on her she had to remember to counter attack him. She now tuned into his thoughts completely and did her best to see if there was anything he was thinking about.

They all made their way into the park and found that the sun was beginning to set, and it looked beautiful. The sky had turned orange blending into pink blending into purple blending into blue blending into night. The sun itself was deep orange and almost red. The few clouds hovering above resembled golden feather pillows.

"Hey, guys, Star and I are gonna go watch it over there," said Robin taking Starfire's hand and leading her off in one direction.

"And I'm gonna go watch it from the T-car," said Cyborg in a rehearsed voice.

"Why?" asked Raven.

"Uh, I… I want to listen to my stereo while the sun sets," he said with a nervous grin and quickly ran off before she could ask anything else.

That left just the two of them. Raven knew that this must have been his plan and she waited to hear something in his thoughts that would give her an idea of what was going on.

"Come on, let's go watch it over here," said Beast Boy, taking Ravens hand and leading her to a nice spot to watch the sunset.

Raven felt her heart race as he took her hand and she knew she should have yelled, but she had to counter attack him. She squeezed his hand back and walked a little closer to him.

Beast Boy wasn't sure why she was walking so close and he felt his heart racing. No, he had to keep focused. This was it. This was going to be the nail in the coffin. He was going to try and kiss her and then he'd find out how she felt.

'So, that's his little plan,' thought Raven as she heard Beast Boy's thoughts. 'Well, he's not going to get the best of me. If he wants a kiss, I'll give him a kiss.'

The two reached the top of a small hill and the sat down to watch. Beast Boy was so proud of himself. So far everything was going perfectly, for the first time all week. The two sat side by side and both were very close. Beast Boy could feel her whole side pressing against his and he got an odd, nervous feeling within him. His heart was racing and he didn't know why. There was nothing for him to be nervous about. He knew Raven would either back down or admit how she felt before they kissed.

Slowly turned towards her and smiled. "Don't you just love sunsets?" he asked.

"Yes, I do," she said, turning to him in a similar fashion and slowly blinking her eyes in a dreamlike manner. "They're beautiful."

"You know, that's not the only thing that's beautiful," he said in a seducing tone.

'Oh God, why can't this be real?' Raven thought sadly. 'No, I've got to play his game. I've got to make him want to kiss me and when he doesn't all will be revealed.' "Oh yeah? What else is beautiful?" asked Raven, moving a little closer to him.

"You are, Raven," he said and then slowly began to move closer and closer to her. He felt his heart palpitating a mile a minute and his hands were growing clammy, though he wasn't sure why. "Raven?" he asked gently as they came ever closer to each other.

"Yes?" asked Raven in a seducing voice that made Beast Boy shiver.

"Do you think it's possible that you have a crush on me?" he asked and leaned in further.

"No," said Raven with a softly.

Now their lips were only mere inches apart and they both felt light headed. Raven knew why, but Beast Boy didn't. She hadn't said what she was supposed to say, so now what was he going to do?

'She won't kiss me,' he thought.

'He'll crack any second now,' thought Raven.

Their lips were closing the distance.

'Come on, Raven, if you don't have a crush on me then yell at me already!' he thought.

'Beast Boy stop moving closer to me! I know you don't like me so stop now!' she thought.

Only an inch remained and still neither pulled away.

'Oh my God!' they both thought. 'We're going to…'

Their lips touched and both closed their eyes. Just as their lips made contact the sun sank beneath the horizon and the sunset was over. The two stayed in their position, neither knowing what to do now. Finally they moved apart and stared at each other, each wide eyed and each definitely out of character. Now neither looked seducing and flirtatious; they just looked shocked.

Beast Boy felt something come over him the moment their lips released and he now stared at Raven in a way he had never thought he could. She looked as startled as he, but he looked past that and his spinning mind only focused back upon her lips. He wasn't sure what compelled him to do it, but he swiftly moved back in and captured her lips again.

Raven had been shocked before when he had actually carried out the kiss, but when he went back in for more she nearly let out a muffled yell. But he was kissing her this time. Before it had just been their lips touching; now he was kneading and massaging her lips with his own and she liked it. She liked it a lot. She felt her eyes roll up into her head and she began to kiss him back equally as passionately.

The minutes passed and still neither could bring themselves to stop. It wasn't long before Raven found herself on her back, holding Beast Boy as close to her as she could. She was in paradise, only having of dreamt of doing something like this. She couldn't believe she was allowing herself to be like this and she couldn't believe she was allowing Beast Boy to do this to her.

They made out until the sky had long darkened and they believed that only the stars could see them. But that was not so. The three remained Titans had watched the sun go down and then met back at the T-car, where Cyborg was already. They wondered if Beast Boy's plan had worked out and waited for the two to return. Minutes passed and still there was no sign of them.

"Where the heck are they?" asked Cyborg, who was growing impatient.

"Perhaps Raven has finally killed friend Beast Boy," said a worried Starfire.

"As much as I want to say that's probably not true, it probably is," sighed Robin.

"Man, I knew we shouldn't have let him go on with this plan," said Cyborg, shaking his head.

"Please, may we go see if all is well?" asked Starfire.

"Yeah, we better," said Robin. "It's getting dark."

The three teammates went back into the park and began looking for their two missing friends. The minutes passed and it was getting darker and darker. Now they were starting to get annoyed.

"Where the heck did they go?" asked Cyborg in an irritated tone.

"I can not see them anywhere," said Starfire.

"They couldn't have gone that…" Robin was cut off by Cyborg putting his arm out and stopping both he and Starfire. "What?"

Cyborg silently, with his eyes wide with shock, pointed. Robin and Starfire looked and their jaws dropped. There lay Beast Boy and Raven making out as if there was no tomorrow. Ravens powers were going insane and they could see her dark energy wrapping around trees and twisting them into odd shapes. Then it started to attack the ground and the three silently and stealthy jumped into the nearby bushes and kept watching.

"This is part of Beast Boy's plan, correct?" asked a slightly confused Starfire.

"Uh, he said 'kiss' as in the singular form, right?" asked Cyborg.

"I thought so," said Robin. "But that certainly isn't a kiss."

"Should we disrupt them?" asked Starfire.

"I… don't know," said Cyborg, who really didn't know what to do.

"Uh… why don't we just… wait in the car," said Robin, to which the other two agreed and quickly got out of there.

Beast Boy and Raven's kissing slowed and their lips finally released their hold of each other. Raven felt the soft grass beneath her and Beast Boy's arms around her. She looked up into his eyes and saw the night sky behind him. Beast Boy looked down, quite out of breath, at Raven who now lay beneath him. He could see the stars reflecting in her eyes and he was lost in them.

The two lay there for a while, simply looking into each others' souls and catching their breath. Both were slightly shaking from the rush of adrenaline that was finally leaving their systems. Now they began to realize what they had just done and they realized the time.

"Uh… maybe we should, um, start heading back to the car," said Raven, trying to regain her composure.

Beast Boy nodded and then said, "Yeah." He sat up and gave her his hand as the two stood up. They then tucked their hands away, feeling very awkward now, and headed back to the car. They found their three friends waiting for them.
