Hey everyone! I hope you are doing well. First, I would like to apologize for any spelling mistakes. I am extremely fast at typing and I have a Japanese computer, so no English autocorrect! If there are any mistakes, I am deeply sorry. I hope you like this chapter, it was fun to write. :)

Raven climbed into her bed, ignoring Beast Boy who was pacing back and forth before her.

The day had gone by rather relaxed after Cyborg had announced his belated present to the green Titan. Raven got the chance to actually read some of her book and even got a little time to herself to meditate while Cyborg took Beast Boy went for a drive. The only time she had felt anything other than being at peace was when she had gone to the bathroom and heard a hushed moan come from Starfire's room, causing her to quicken her pace.

Twice in one day? Jesus…

Now that it was late, Raven was ready to get into bed and recharge for tomorrow. Unfortunately Beast Boy hadn't gotten the hint when she had said she was going to bed and had followed her to her room, which she hadn't protested. But what was strange to her was that he wasn't saying anything, he was just pacing like a caged animal. She eyed him carefully as he did so.

"You're going to put a hole in my floor if you keep that up." She said, patting her comforter down around her. He continued, causing her to raise an eyebrow. "What's wrong with you?"

He looked at her, stopping his slow stride and crossed his arms. "Are you sure you're okay with me going to Club Chaos on Saturday?" he asked, his voice sounding desperate. Raven sighed. She should have known this was about that stupid Club Chaos ticket. Before he and Cyborg had left for their drive he had asked her the same question, which she had said she was fine almost immediately, despite the burning in her heart that told her otherwise, but he didn't have to know about that. She leaned back on her pillow, resting her back against the wall behind her.

"I am one hundred and ten percent sure that I am okay with it. If you can get in that is." She told him. "Now can I please go to bed?"

Beast Boy quickly made his way to her bed and sat down on it, his green eyes staring at her. She felt her heart thump against her ribcage.

"But what about our thing? Aren't you worried that other girls will come onto me? Don't you want to tell me to stay away fro-"

"Beast Boy…not a relationship, remember? If you want to mess around with other girls then be my guest. I have no say whatsoever in your…personal life." Again her heart beat against her chest and her lamp light flickered.

Damn her wild emotions and these powers trying to give her away.

Luckily for her, Beast Boy seemed to be oblivious to the light. "But what about the other night with Wonder Girl? You were hella jealous."

Raven felt her eye twitch. "Have you gained the power to turn into a broken record? Jesus, I have been over this with you one million times. It was-"

"Yeah, I know…the alcohol." He mumbled, cutting her off. She nodded.

"Exactly. It was the I may have been a bit…irritated, but it wasn't so much that I'm going to stop you from enjoying your 'boys night out'. Go have fun. I'll be here when you get back." It almost killed her to say those words. Why was it hurting so badly?

She. Did. Not. Have. Feelings. For. Him.

"Now please, leave my room so I can get some sleep."

Beast Boy frowned but did not move a muscle. Raven wondered for a moment if she was ever going to be able to fall asleep without a fight ever again as long as this…whatever this was, was going on. The chances that she wouldn't were high.

He finally nodded his head. "Alright Rae, I'll leave," his eyes flickered and his lips pulled into a mischevious smile which slightly caught Raven off guard. "But…how about a kiss before I go?"

Well, that completely caught her off guard. Raven felt her cheeks flush and her mouth fell open slightly. She knew him to be sometimes bold but he wasn't stupid. He should have known better than to request such things from her. Her eyes narrowed.

"I don't think so."

"Oh, come on Raven! You said you wanted to try, right? Well, lets just give it a try, maybe it will help you figure stuff out." He pleaded, leaning closer to her. She pushed herself further into the wall, hoping that it open up and suck her in. "Come on, we've already done it. I think we should get ourselves used to it, that way you might be able to figure out your feelings."

Raven thought for a moment. God she was actually considering it. Deep down, she knew that he was right. She knew that she would have to push herself a little bit in order to figure out her feelings for him, but there is something about the idea of randomly kissing him when she was unsure that didn't sit well with her.

She sighed. "One kiss. That's it, then you have to leave my room and let me sleep."

Beast Boy clenched his fists excitedly, his face warming up with a large smile. But Raven continued before he could get carried away. "And don't even think about going for a feelsky, or I will literally break your hand. Got it?"

He nodded wildly. "Yup, no hand stuff. Got it!"

She swallowed hard, mentally preparing herself. She knew they had kissed before, but she still felt equally as nervous and as awkward. Honestly speaking, she was amazed at how eager and confident Beast Boy was being about it. She knew that he had been with Terra ages ago, and she wouldn't pretend like she didn't know they had done stuff, but he was reletively new to physical contact too. Hense why Cyborg was taking him out to get him some… 'booty', but Raven wouldn't think about that.

He scooted closer to her.

Oh god, this was happening.

Her breathing became shaky in her chest and she took a deep breath. Beast Boy took notice and smiled softly. "Are you nervous?"

"No, don't be stupid." Yes.

His smile grew slightly, his bottom fang sticking out of his mouth. "You sure? Because I can see you shaking."

"Do you want this kiss or not?" she hissed, about five seconds away from telling him to forget it. He nodded, his smile vanishing immediately.

"Yeah, sorry." He cleared his throat and the atmosphere became seriously quiet. Raven waited. She didn't know what for but she waited. Was he going to make the first move like he did last time, or was it her turn? She hoped he wasn't waiting for her to do it because he would be waiting an awfully long time. Minutes seemed to be ticking by, although she knew it was probably only about ten seconds. She was trying to look anywhere but his eyes, was that what he was waiting for? Could you not kiss someone without looking in their eyes first? Maybe she should look at him. Or maybe if she didn't he would just go away, but that was wishful thinking.

After another few silent moments, Raven felt felt his soft fingers brush against her cheek. She flinched at the contact and her blood began to pump through her body at lightspeed. His thumb gently stroked her face.

"Is this okay?" he asked quietly. She swallowed again but nodded causing him to smile. He leaned forward and Raven closed her eyes, readying herself to receive the kiss. But instead of his lips touching her own, they pressed against her forehead. Her violet eyes opened with surprise.

What was he doing?

After lingering for a moment there, he pulled away and finally their eyes met. She was stuck, this was his plan. To catch her off guard and trap her. They looked at each other for a moment before Beast Boy leaned in, tilting his head sideways and pressing his lips to hers. She closed her eyes again and began to internally chant her mantra, trying to calm the storm that was building within her entire body.

This kiss was different than their last. It wasn't as gentle, and instead of just sitting still with their lips pressed against one another, Beast Boy was moving, his lips desperately trying to find some sort of rhythm with her own. She was internally panicking, she had no idea what to do, but she decided to go along with him. She began to move her lips against his, only being poked a few times by his fangs. His lips were soft, and the rhythm made them feel softer. It wouldn't have been so bad if her control hadn't begun to slip, causing the lights in the room to flicker, and the books on her bookshelf to rattle against one another. Beast Boy opened one eye to quickly look around at the room that was coming alive but he didn't stop. Infact he did the opposite.

Raven felt his tongue dart out of his mouth and prod at her bottom lip. She jumped slightly in her spot and pulled away from him, he groaned in response and looked at her.

"What?" he asked, obviously irked at the fact that she had stopped. The books on her shelf stopped rattleing but her light continued to flicker.

"What are you doing?" she asked, out of breath and trembling.

Azarath, metrion, zinthos. Azarath, metrion, zintos.

"Kissing you?"

"What were you doing with your tongue?" Raven wasn't an idiot; she knew what he was doing. He was trying to push his limits a bit further, but she wasn't ready. Adding tongue into the mix made things heated, and making things heated often resulted in going further than kissing, something she was very much not ready for yet. She needed to learn how to get a grib on her emotions and her control before they ventured down that path.

Beast Boy raised an eyebrow. "Uh….kissing you?" he sounded confused. "But trying with tongue?"

"No."

"No?"

"I'm not ready for that yet."

"Why? Its just kissing…it's not like we're-"

"I said no!" she barked. Beast Boy flinched at the rise in her voice, making her feel slightly guilty. She sighed and brought it down a bit. "I am not ready for anything more than a normal kiss right now. And you're lucky you even got that."

He stayed quiet for a second. "Sorry, I didn't mean to push you."

She shook her head. "It's fine. I just…I need time, like I said. If you want this to work we need to go very, very slow. Okay?"

"I'm okay with that. Anything for you, Rae. I'll let you set the pace from now on, sound good?"

She appriciated that. "Yes, sounds good. Thank you."

There was a short pause. Raven could feet her heart beat slowing down and the lamp had finally stopped flickering. She was glad that Beast Boy had the decency to respect her wishes; that was one thing she did admire about him. Despite his lack of class and pervertedness, he was a gentleman at heart.

"So," the changling said after a moment. Raven looked at him. "How was it?"

Of course.

"It was…adequate."

His jaw dropped. "What? Come on, throw me a bone here! It was totally better than adequete." He quickly morphed into a puppy, his long tongue falling out of his mouth. She couldn't help but to smile.

"Well…considering I haven't kissed anyone other than you before in my life, it was pretty good."

Beast Boy chuffed out his furry chest, his tongue still hanging down. Raven's smile grew, he was so goofy but she thought it was oddly charming. She reached out and scratched him behind the ear, causing him to lean into her hand.

"Now," she said softly, bringing her hand away. "Please leave."

Beast Boy transformed back into a human and sighed, standing up and stretching his arms into the air. Raven's eyes couldn't help but fall to the small amount of green skin that showed as his shirt rode up with the motion, the deep v-lines of his abdomen making her stomach turn.

Why were his pants so goddamn low?

Beast Boy caught her wondering eyes and smirked. "Like what you see Rae?" he asked teasingly. Raven's eyebrows furrowed.

"Leave, now!"

Her powers opened the door from across the room. Beast Boy chuckled and held his hands up defensively. "Okay okay, I'm out! Night." And with that, he pranced out of the room, closing the door behind him.

Yay! All done :) If you liked it, you know the drill 3
