Hi. Please pray for me. I am having these freaky emotion problems, stinks to be a girl sometimes. But that is the way God made me and I should be thankful, and I am. But I still wish I didn't have these freaky emotion problems. Thank you anyone who chooses to pray for me. You Rock!
I don't own backstreet boys or their song. This is dedicated to Shinshonra.
Here Be Da Story.
In Titans Tower, on this particular night, the five super hero's invited many of their fellow super hero's to Karaoke Night At Titan's Tower. It was a super hero thing. Every year they would have karaoke night at one of the super hero's homes. It was the Titans of Jump City who got lucky enough to host this years' karaoke night.
After a few people sang including, Cyborg, who was a very scary singer, Argent, who was decent, but not the best, Aqualad, we just won't say anything about him, and Mas e Menos . . . no comment. Robin took the stage and grabbed what looked like a large magician hat and a microphone.
"Ok, strange. And he next person to sing scary karaoke of the evening is . . . (insert drum roll here) BEAST BOY! Take the stage my green friend." Robin had been acting strange but no one cared. Beast Boy stepped up on the stage beginning to get a little nervous. He had long picked a song to sing and he told the DJ the song he wished to sing. She, Bumble Bee, put in the CD and BB grabbed the microphone and spoke before he began to sing.
"I-I w-would like to d-dedicate this to R-Raven," he stuttered. He wondered how he was going to sing if he kept stuttering. He swallowed hard and fast hoping his nervousness would go along with it. In the crowd, Raven was in the back hiding her face from the people around. Beast Boy's comment had made a crimson red make its way to her cheeks and she didn't particularly wish for anyone to see.
BB began his soft song.
Don't pretend you're sorry
I know you're not
You know you got the power
To make me weak inside
Girl you leave me breathless
But it's okay 'cause
You are my survival
Now hear me say
I can't imagine life
Without your love
Even forever don't seem
Like long enough
Raven held her breath. 'Does he really think these words or is it just merely a prank? Or just some song he thought was pretty? Sometimes Beast Boy is really hard to read,' Raven thought with an amazed expression. Not only were his words deep and meaningful, which was not like Beast Boy at all, but his voice was entrancing. Not even noticing that she was, Raven swayed back and forth to the music as she listened carefully to each word. 'Hmm, and life without you would be peaceful, but somehow empty.'
'Cause every time I breathe
I take you in
And my heart beats again
Baby I can't help it
You keep me
Drowning in your love
Every time I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby I can't help it
You keep me
Drowning in your love
The changeling had lost his fear and sang with more passion in his words and began to do an odd sort of dance. But in the back, Raven moved right along with him as though they were one with each other. A few people had noticed Raven being weird, but didn't bother to say anything. She was in a dream and they knew better than to bug Raven when she was in her world. 'I cant help but wonder if this is true. Oh that green idiot just gets under my skin and then some! I wish I knew his thoughts . . . wait, that's an idea!' Raven stopped her nice slow dance and put her fingers to her temples and concentrated. She whispered her chant and let herself explore BB's mind without him even knowing.
'I hope she understands that this is for her. I have to find her after this. I am going to tell her tonight!' Beast Boy thought happily. Raven left Beast Boy's mind and melted. Well, not literally, but she was just in a daze.
'Wow. So he means it . . . do I mean it?' she wondered inside.
Maybe I'm a drifter
Late at night
'Cause I long for the safety
Of flowing freely
In your arms
I don't need another lifeline
It's not for me
'Cause only you can save me
Oh can't you see
I can't imagine life
Without your love
And even forever don't seem
Like long enough
She returned to her peaceful swaying that she completely had no idea she was doing. 'That sounds nice. Just letting my emotions free, while being in his arms, NO! I can't think these things. I can't be like this! I can't feel!' Raven backed up more, stopping her unknown dance. She didn't want to leave just yet because Beast Boy had an amazing voice and it was just so hard to leave. She could barely make herself back up. She suddenly felt like she couldn't move.
'Cause every time I breathe
I take you in
And my heart beats again
Baby I can't help it
You keep me
Drowning in your love
Every time I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby I can't help it
You keep me
Drowning in your love
Raven once again drifted off into that world of hers. The place she goes when no one is looking, though many people were around. Yet, she was pretty sure that no one was paying any attention to her.
Go on and pull me under
Cover me with dreams, yeah
Love me mouth to mouth now
You know I can't resist
'Cause you're the air
That I breathe
Beast Boy was excited for his song to end. He was enjoying every moment of being on stage, but he wanted to see how Raven reacted. Seeing as it was difficult to see her all the way in the back of the room, he couldn't tell what she was doing. For all he knew, she had left already to retreat to her room.
Every time I breathe
I take you in
And my heart beats again
Baby I can't help it
You keep me
Drowning in your love
Every time I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
And baby I can't help it
You keep me
Drowning your love
Though, he couldn't be more wrong. She was there taking in ever precious word that the beautiful man onstage sang. Trying as hard as she could, all her attempts failed to keep an emotionless face during all this. 'Beast Boy, if I COULD only tell you how I feel. But, I can't. I could hurt you, or I could hurt my friends or the tower or innocent people. Stupid powers and stupid emotions!'
Baby I can't help it
Keep me drowning
In your love
I keep drowning
In your love
Baby I can't help it
Can't help it no, no
'It's almost over! Yes! Raven here I come!' Raven left the room before he could finish. It was hard, but she did. She went to the best spot in the house at night. Well, not in the house, on the roof. Hugging her knees to her chest, she looked up at the stars gazing at their intense beauty. But not thinking of their lovely grace, but of the green boy who's voice could still be heard even on the roof of their home.
'Cause every time I breathe
I take you in
And my heart beats again
Baby I can't help it
You keep me
Drowning in your love
Every time I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby I can't help it
You keep me
Drowning in your love
When Beast Boy finished, he bowed his head and people cheered. He handed the microphone back to his fearless leader and walked quickly off the stage. As he looked around he couldn't see Raven anywhere. With a mix of running, skipping, and flying BB made it to Raven's room and he knocked. No response. Nothing. Nada. 'The roof. She practically LIVES there at night!' Beast Boy quickly ran up the stairs but slowed down towards the top. Silently, he opened the heavy metal door that led to the roof and stepped out to the cement. It felt cold under his bare feet, but it was nice. Beast Boy found no reason for wearing sox or shoes when there was no reason. In fact, all of the Titans had dressed in normal clothing for this occasion. Beast Boy was wearing dark jeans and a purple and black swirled collared shirt that was un-tucked. Raven was wearing, oh wow! A skirt. A black floor length skirt with red lining. Starfire had forced her to wear it but hey, it looked great on her. And on top she wore a simple black t-shirt. She was also bare footed.
"You sang great. I never knew you had such an amazing voice," she spoke without turning around.
"Thank you, and you look drop dead gorgeous, Raven." Beast Boy sat down next to her and draped an arm around her shoulders. She was to shocked to do or say anything about it though. This also caused blush to creep up her pale cheeks and she reached for the hood that was absent at this present time. 'Note to self, never listen to Star when she tells me not to wear something with a hood.'
"Thanks. You don't look too bad yourself. Beast Boy, did you mean what you sang?" She asked tilting her head towards him.
He smiled the signature Beast Boy smile and said, "Of course I did. Would I sing a song, dedicate it to a beautiful lady, and not mean it? Don't think so, Raven." He had a smile on, but a serious look in his eyes. Raven looked down. He looked at her for a second then removed his arm from her shoulders. Gently, he lifted her head to face him and he spoke once again, " Raven, I-I," He slid his hand down to her shoulder but kept his eyes locked on hers, "l-l-love y-you."
They were both silent. Beast Boy's face fell as she just sat there. Lifting his hand from her shoulder he was about to stand when she threw her arms around his neck, and kissed him straight on the lips. After a second of shock, he kissed back wrapping his arms around her back.
Soon, in need of air, they pulled apart. "Do I have to say anything?" she asked. He just smiled and kissed her again.
"Hey Raven, uh . . ." Cyborg stared blankly at the sight in front of him. The two broke apart and looked towards Cyborg and let go of each other.
"Go away and leave us some privacy will ya!" Beast Boy commanded angrily.
"I just wanted to let Raven know that it is her turn," he defended.
Beast Boy sighed, "Ok let Bee go for her, ok? Bye!" Cyborg left, and Raven laughed.
"You have a beautiful laugh," Beast Boy commented. They both smiled at each other and kissed once again with the moon and the stars shining down on them. All the truest beauty was gathered together that night.
ZZZ ZZZ ZZZ ZZZ. Ok I am so tiered! Yawn. I hope you liked it and that it was what you thought it would be. Rock On!
