AN: Nope, no ownership yet… deal with it

Too Good to be True

Raven had been wrong, it was still plenty dark outside. The fact that it was snowing made it a bit difficult to see. She and Beast Boy had silently crept out of the house and were now standing in the back yard. The snow was falling fast and amounting quickly.

"Wow, look at it out here," said Beast Boy. He was wearing some of Peter's snow clothes which didn't exactly fit him right.

"It's beautiful," said Raven, smiling softly. She walked around a little bit and felt the snow crunch under her feet as she did. She watched as her breath turned to mist in the air. Suddenly she felt something hit her back. She gasped and turned around to see Beast Boy whistling in a guilty matter. "Hey!"

"What? I didn't throw a snowball at you!" he said, quickly.

She smirked then formed a snowball with her powers. He tried to get out of the way, but was quickly pelted right in the face. "And I didn't do that," she added.

"Oh, you're gonna get it now," he said evilly as he began to gather the wet snow up. He threw a snowball quickly at her, but she ducked out of the way. What she didn't see was that he already had another ready, and quickly threw it before she could react. It hit her cheek and she let out a small scream.

She quickly covered her mouth and her eyes went wide. She looked at the house and prayed a light wouldn't go on. After a few frightening seconds, she was sure that they hadn't woken up. "Come on, we better get away from the house or we'll be discovered," she said.

"We're are we gonna go?" asked Beast Boy.

"There's a field on the other side of the fence," said Raven, walking to the back of the yard. She formed a portal in the fence and the two walked through it and appeared at the beginning of the field.

It was completely covered with snow and little could be seen through the falling flakes. It was so dark the two could barely make out anything. But it didn't matter. This field was a blank piece of paper, and they were the pencils. It was for them to do what they wanted with it.

"Oh yes!" said Beast Boy. "Mind if I run around for a little while?"

"Go right ahead," said Raven.

Beast Boy smiled excitedly and was about to turn into an animal of his choice, but he realized something. "Awe, man, I can't transform," he said, pouting.

"Why not?" asked Raven.

"If I change, my clothes will either rip or fall off and when I change back then I'll be standing out here in the snow nude," said Beast Boy.

"Now there'd be an interesting sight," Raven chuckled.

"I wish I had kept my suit on," he sighed, ignoring her statement.

"Well, you can run around in an animal form tomorrow," said Raven. "For now, just run around like a normal person."

"Naw, that's not as much fun," said Beast Boy.

The two walked around the field for a while, silent. They were just talking in everyone moment, committing it to a memory. The smell of the snow, the chill of the air, the beauty of the scenery. It was a once in a lifetime moment.

Suddenly Beast Boy fell backwards into the snow. Raven quickly turned, surprised and concerned. "Are you okay?" she asked.

"Yeah," he said, laughing. He then began to move his arms and his legs back and forth. "Just making a snow angel."

"It'll be filled in by morning," said Raven.

"I don't care," said Beast Boy. "It's just fun. Come on, fall back."

Raven thought for a moment or two, then gave in and fell back into the snow. It still wasn't all that thick, so she felt herself hit the hard, frozen ground. "Oof," she said as she hit. "Ow."

"Uh, yeah, I probably should have warned you," Beast Boy chuckled.

"A little warning would have been nice," said Raven. "Now I've got a bruised butt." She moved her arms and legs about until she felt that she had made a print.

They simply lay there for a while, looking up into the black sky as the cold snow fell onto their faces. Their breath formed clouds and rose high into the air, disappearing. It was silent, but for the ever so gentle sound of the snow collecting on the ground. In this moment, they had no thoughts, they had no cares. It didn't matter what they had done before they arrived or what would happen when the left. They were living in this moment, appreciating every second that was given to them, knowing that they would never see that second again.

"Alright, my ears are frozen," said Beast Boy after a few minutes. He sat up and waited for the blood to rush out of his head and back into his body. He stood up and looked at Raven, who was still lying on the ground. "Need a hand?"

"Sure," said Raven, lifting her hands up. He grabbed them and pulled her to her feet. She felt dizzy for a moment, and grabbed onto him so she wouldn't fall over. Once she was sure she could stand, she let him go. Suddenly, she gasped and grabbed her neck. "My necklace!"

"What?" he said.

"My necklace, I forgot to take it off before we came out here and now it's gone," said Raven, frantic.

"Oh no," said Beast Boy, looking at the large field that they had been strolling around in.

Raven felt like she was going to cry. "We'll never find it," she said, hopelessly.

"Come on, let's at least look before we give up," he said and began looking all over the ground. "I'll look over here and you back track, okay?"

"Okay," said Raven, but she knew it would be useless. How could they possibly find a necklace in the dark of the night in the middle of a snowfall? They would have to wait for it to melt before they could look again.

She looked intently upon the snow, going over every step they had taken. "The best gift I've ever gotten and I lose it in a matter of hours," she said bitterly to herself. "And it was from him! He actually put a lot of thought into it and it must have cost him a few hundred dollars." She felt tears creep into her eyes and a few snow patches began to explode, but it couldn't really be noticed. "How utterly irresponsible of me. How could I have forgotten to take it off? I'm never going to forgive myself."

The snow seemed to be falling even harder and her face had grown numb from the cold. Everything had gone numb from the cold. She was ready to give up and go back home. The wet snow had soaked her shoes, which reminded her that she needed snow boots, and now her toes were frozen. This wonderful night had turned into a disaster and she felt miserable. And it was all her fault.

"Found it!" he called out.

Raven froze where she was, shocked at the sound of his voice. She turned around and looked for him through the snow. She could barely see her hand in front of her, let alone Beast Boy.

"Where are you?" she called out.

"Where?" she asked, wandering through the snow.

"Follow my voice!" he called out. "Over here!" She listened closely and continued to walk. "I can see you, you're heading in the right direction. Keep going, just a little farther."

She saw a dark figure a few hundred feet away from her, so she went off towards it. The dark figure turned into Beast Boy, who was holding up the necklace.

"It's cold, but I got it," he said with a proud smile.

"Oh my God!" she said. "Thank you so much!" And before she knew what she was doing she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him right on his chilled lips. She quickly realized what she had done, and felt quite embarrassed. She released her hold of him and jumped back.

He was staring at her in shock, still holding the necklace up. She blushed furiously and gently took the necklace from his hand. She tucked it in her pocket and said, "I mean, thank you."

Beast Boy quickly took a step towards her, closing the space between them, and cupped her cold cheeks in his cold hands. He placed his cool lips on hers and they immediately warmed up. After a few seconds, Raven rewrapped her arms around his neck and held him close to her. He moved his hands from her cheeks and wrapped them around her waist, making sure she couldn't move away from him.

The sensation of their kissing was new and exhilarating. Their faces were frozen and numb and the feel of the others touching their own was quite odd. They could feel their now warm lips chill whenever they paused to take a breath. And their kissing was not fast and lustful, but slow and sensational. All these months of discovering feelings and becoming closer had brought them to this. And what a fantastic moment this was.

After a while, though, the cold got to them and they had to stop. Beast Boy's poor ears were aching and Raven was sure her feet were frostbitten. They pulled apart and for a moment, stared into each others' eyes. The snow still fell and now they had a nice frosting on their heads. Beast Boy reached up and touched one of Ravens cheeks again. They were cold, but he could feel the heat of a blush pushing through. They were red, as was her nose and the tips of her ears.

"Let's head inside before we freeze," he said.

Raven nodded and they headed back towards the house. Luckily, Beast Boy's eyes could see pretty well and he led them in the right direction. They walked hand in hand, still feeling a little shy with each other. But, at the same time, it felt beautiful and perfect and natural.

Raven knew that her grandparents would know they had gone out if they saw that they had dragged in snow, which would be puddles of water by morning. So she teleported them to her room. They were both glad to strip out of their cold clothes. Raven stole a pair of her grandfather's pajamas for Beast Boy and he changed in his room.

Once he was done he went back to Ravens room. He didn't care what the rules were, he didn't want to be away from her. He didn't want to fall asleep without seeing her and hearing her voice. And Raven didn't object at all.

"I'm just scared that your grandfather will catch me," said Beast Boy.

"Don't worry, I've got it covered," said Raven. "I locked your door from the inside so he can't get in there and I've locked my door on the inside so he can't get in here. When he comes to wake us up tomorrow I'll just put you back in your room."

"Cool, though I wish I could have gotten a pillow and blanket before you locked the door," said Beast Boy. "It's gonna suck sleeping on the floor."

"I… I don't want you to sleep on the floor," said Raven.

"Then where am I gonna sleep?" he asked, his heart racing.

Raven scooted over and patted her bed. He stared at her for a second and wondered if he had died out in that field and he was now in Heaven. He moved over to her bed, waiting for her to change her mind, but she didn't. He climbed in and under the covers. He really liked how soft and warm it was.

They were still chilled, so they cuddled up next to each other. Soon the down blankets did their magic and they grew a bit warmer. They were still cold, but they didn't mind. It gave them even more of a reason to get closer.

"Now, don't you try anything," said Raven as she closed her eyes, her arms hugged around him.

"Never," he said softly and hugged her to him, the warmth of her body soaking into his own.

Raven smiled and whispered, "I'm so glad you came."

He smiled as well and whispered back, "Me too."

Beast Boy took a big breath in and opened his eyes. He saw the ceiling above him. He sat straight up and found himself in the guest bedroom, alone. He looked outside and saw that it was still night and it wasn't snowing. He ran his fingers through his hair and fell backwards onto his pillow.

It was a dream. It had all been a dream. He couldn't believe it. It had felt so real. The feel of the cold night air, the snow falling on his skin, the touch of Ravens lips against his own. But it hadn't been. It was just a dream.

He then realized that it must have been a dream, since he had been with Raven even when he knew he was on the other side of the field. He had felt what she felt when she lost the necklace and heard every word she said. Why hadn't he realized this earlier?

He sighed and turned into his pillow. The dream had been so wonderful, but it left him feel so depressed. He wanted to do everything that he had done in his dream. But he just couldn't seem to take that first step. But, oh, how he wanted to.
