Chapter 2: Point Of Confusion
Raven's POV
I ran as fast as I could while my heart raced and tears running down my face. "Raven you're stupid. So, stupid," I had reminded myself as I ran all the way to the tower. I ran passed Robin who was walking by and into my room. I slammed the door and dropped to my knees as I covered my face whining to myself. I felt my heart getting heavy and my head pounding. I don't know what I was thinking trying to go out with him of all people. I sat in the same place until I cried it all out. I stripped down to my PJ's and laid down on my bed. I had let my mind wand and thoughts of Beast Boy kept popping up. I shook my head and sat up on my bed. I couldn't fall asleep like I planned.
I decided since I cannot sleep I might as well mediate to relax my emotions. I levitated myself in the middle of my room and did my chants "Azarath Metrion Zinthos" I repeated over and over to myself. I soon heard whispering around my surroundings. I tried to ignore it and continue but it had gotten louder and louder. I opened my eyes to see the other sides of me. Happiness, Timidity, Bravery, Rudeness, Knowledge and Passion. I was in shocked and fell to the ground. Happiness helped me stand up and I looked at all of them in my room.
"What are you all doing out of the mirror?" I questioned as I looked at each one of them
"Passion said you had fallen for the Green boy and we wanted to see how that was going but you are home so what happened" Happiness asked not taking a break with her words.
"Nothing…," I rolled my eyes and pointed to the mirror. "Back in here where you all belong"
"No, how dumb can you be to agree to go out with him" Rudeness put her hands on her hips and I glared at her
"Shut up, just go" I commanded all of them
"He hurt you… Raven you shouldn't try that again" Timidity said as she hid behind Rudeness
"I give it up to you girly, you had the guts to say yes to his date!" Bravery gave me a thumb up.
"Look girls, I am confused right now. I do not know what to feel and you guys harassing me doesn't help. I just want to sleep and forget this ever happened. So, if you please can all go" I sighed to myself. Suddenly a knock on my door had made them all disappeared. My heart slipped a beat but I quickly answered the door. Robin gave me a small smile.
"Hey Rae, are you okay?" He asked as he looked at me
"I'm fine" I gave him a bland reply
"You sure? You ran passed me quickly and I saw tears rolling down your face. And just now I heard you talking to yourself. If you need to talk about anything you know you can let me know. Remember you and I are closer than anyone here." He replied and I know he wasn't going to let this slide so I had let him into my room. I explained what happened and how I have mix feelings for Beast Boy. He listened and tried to give me advice. I thanked him with a hug as he left my room, I turned off my lights and went to bed to end this horrible day on a good note I guess.
Beast Boy's POV
I couldn't find Raven anyway in the city so I figured she had went home. I know me questioning her was bad but I just can't believe she wants to go out with me. After all she hates me and she shows it many times. Plus, after the Terra incident I can't trust females. Don't get me wrong I do love and care for Raven but I'm not sure if what she's truly feeling is right at this moment.
I walked back to the tower, while the sky was dark. The moment I walked into the tower Robin and Cyborg were standing there. I looked at them as they gave me a stare back. Not knowing what was going on I waved to them and Robin pointed to kitchen seat assuming he wants me to sit down. I sat down and the both sat across from me.
"What's going on?" I questioned
"Yo B are you that dumb?" Cyborg asked
"Huh?" The confusion crept on me
"Robin told me what happened between you and Raven. How you turn her down like that man"
I rubbed my head now slowly giving myself a headache since I knew where this was heading. "Listen guys please. I do have feelings for Raven but I'm just a bit scared of giving her my all" I sat back in my chair sighing
"Why is that?" Robin finally spoke up.
"Because whenever I gave her the chance to go out with me she would just basically tell me no, or I am not her type. That's when I gave up and admire her from the sides. I just feel like she's playing me to get back at me for all the jokes I try to tell her or do to her" I replied as they both stared at me
"You both are confused about your feelings for one another and you two have to find out where you both stand" Robin looked leaned back against the chair. I sighed hard as I got up from my chair. "Look guys I'm glad you guys care for us but we need to figure this out on our own" I walked away from them both and went to my room. I stripped down into my boxers and a t-shirt. I jumped into my bed, grabbed my comic and began to flip through the pages. I soon found myself falling asleep that was until the alarm went off. "Ughh" I groaned as I was forced awake dude to the alarm. I quickly got changed and ran to the living room to see the rest of the team there.
"Titans trouble!" Robin called out
"Who is it this time?" Starfire yawned
"Control Freak." Robin typed in e few things into the computer
"Can we really call him an enemy?" I questioned which made Raven looked my way. I looked back at her and she quickly looked away. "Weird," I mumbled to myself.
"If he's causing havoc around the city, then yes" Robin replied as we all rushed out of the tower. We went into the city where Control Freak was using his fancy remote to control the toy store which wasn't scary or that hard to beat. I turned into a T-Rex and bite the head off the toy while I peeked at Raven who just used her magic to pick up the toys and rip their heads off but the way she did it was with much anger and force. It scared me a bit but I didn't question it. Once we defeated Control Freak we went back to the tower since it was still late at night. I couldn't fall back to sleep so I went to the roof of the tower. As I went to the roof, I thought I was alone but there she was. Raven of all people was up here.
"What do you want?" She rudely asked as she mediated. She must have sense my presence
I sighed and walked over to her. "I came up here thinking I was alone but I was sadly mistaken" I sat on the ground a few feet away from her but was looking at the night time sky. It was silent for a while. It made me uncomfortable after a while. As I got up to walk away I felt something hold me back. I looked back to see Raven holding onto my arm. "Rae?" I looked at her and she had her head down.
"Garfield…" She replied softly. She only ever uses my real name if she wants something.
"Yes Rae," I said once more.
"You hurt me…" I heard her voice cracked
It had come to a shock to me that she might have been crying after our so-called date. She seemed weak and confused. I probably did hurt her but I didn't want to get hurt myself so I had to protect myself before she hurt me. I put my index and middle finger under her chin lifting it up so that she can see eye to eye to me. I took off her hood and I stared deeply into her lovely eyes. Her glance was so pretty; her beauty was making me feel weak inside. I leaned closely to the point our noses where touching one another. I then pressed my lips against hers. She didn't stop me as our lips touched, it was like she wanted this to happen. I pressed in furthermore and added tongue, again she didn't stop me and we continued to kiss a bite longer. She finally broke the kiss since we needed to breath of course. I looked back in her eyes and saw her cheek flushed red. First time I have ever saw her blush but it was cute. I gave her a small smile and she looked away. This was my first kiss and no I don't count the kiss with Terra as my first one.
"Beast Boy? Why?" She questioned
"Why what?" I questioned back
"Why did you kiss me just now?" She pulled away from me
"I don't know but it felt just right. Your soft lips. Also, you didn't stop me from doing it Rae. So, it must have felt good you, right?" I looked at her as she didn't even try to make eye contact with me. She then tried running off once I said that but I grabbed her and pinned her down to the ground with me on top. "What is your deal Raven? Why do you keep doing this to me?" I huffed and puffed because she tried to free herself from my grip.
"Let me go!" She yelled
"Not until you tell me why you are being this way," I held a bit tighter
"Go away!" She screamed and used her magic to pick me up and throw me to the edge of the roof. She then got up and ran back inside the tower. As she threw me I scrapped my knee which caused it to bleed. I manage to get up and limped my way downstairs to find the first aid kit. Starfire saw me limping while bleeding as I walked by her. "Friend, what has happened to you," She flew over to me and stood right in front of me. I was annoyed enough that girl Raven tossed me after me kissing her now Starfire wants to stand in front of me as I am bleeding. "Star, can you please move out of my way. As you can see I am bleeding and want to get this treated right away," I had to push my way around her and go to the bathroom to get the first aid it. I poured some alcohol which burned like bitch but if it does its job then fuck it. I put a cotton pad over my knee and taped it up with a banged. I threw away whatever was needed, put everything back and then went to my bed. I fell asleep trying to forget what happened between Raven and I.
Raven's POV
I rushed to my room yet again and touched my lips. "H- He kissed me" I had mumbled to myself. I felt my cheeks feel warm from the kiss. That was my first ever kiss and it felt right but wrong at the same time. I didn't know how to feel since I was unsure of what we would have become if that went on a bit longer. I had overheard Starfire outside my door talking to Robin about something so I focus on what she was telling him.
"Best Boy has been acting weird ever since the day we went to the club" Starfire had said
"Yea, Raven also has been acting strange," Robin replied
"Should we have the talk with them? "Her voice sounded concern
"I feel like we shouldn't stick our noses into their business Star"
"But we must, friends should never be mad at each other. I shall throw a friendship party" She started to sound happy.
"Star, trust me it will not work that way sadly. They just have to figure this whole thing out themselves" He sounded as he was getting fed up
"But friend Beast Boy walked in the house bleeding on his knee. Surely you the 'leader' should make sure his teammates are alright either it's his business or not. Am I wrong or not?" Starfire had a point from what I am hearing.
"Fine. If it would make my loving girlfriend happy then sure. I'll talk to them in the morning to see what's up. As of now get your pretty but to sleep." He gave her a kiss from what I heard.
I sighed as I tried to whip away the memory of the kiss but it had only gotten stronger. Am I falling in love with Beast Boy? I can't be. He's a fool and doesn't like me anyway. I tried to keep that in mind as I stripped out of my battle uniform and into my PJ's. I laid my head down on my bed and tried to fall asleep. I manage to finally fall asleep until my dreams started to show me things I didn't want to see. Almost all my dreams where about when Trigon attacked a few years back or my feelings for Beast Boy which is still unclear.
With these types of dreams that I had I had to wake myself up and as I did wake up the sun was already up. I looked over to see the time and it was 10am. I missed my morning mediation and didn't have my herbal tea yet. This day has already started bad. I got out of bed, threw on my slippers, put my hair in a ponytail and walked out my room to the bathroom. I washed up, brushed my teeth then went to the kitchen. Everyone was there including the boy who gave me my first kiss. I ignored everyone and poured water into a cup and the put it in the microwave for 30 seconds. As that was heating up I went to the cabinet to grab my box of tea.
"Friend!" Starfire cheerfully yelled scaring me half to death while making me drop the box onto the floor. I turned back to see her with her bright usual smile.
"Good morning" I said in a mellow voice as I picked up the box.
"How are you doing this morning?" She questioned
"Fine, just fine" I took my cup out the microwave and put a tea bag inside of the water then stirred it with a spoon.
"Raven, when you are done talking with Starfire may I have a word with both you and Beast Boy" Robin said he pointed to the living room. I had almost forgot he was going to talk with us.
"Why?" Beast Boy rudely replied
"Because I said so" Robin said back with a stern voice. I sighed as I followed his orders and went to the living room and Beast Boy followed. Cyborg was already here and Starfire followed right behind and sat next to me while the boys sat on the other side of us. "Let me begin by saying that you are all great team members," Robin started off. "But, a lot has been happening to the team and changes has been making the team go downhill. So, I will like to ask each one of you to please express what is on your mind. I am here to help. So, let's start with you Raven." He looked over at me.
I knew he was going to pull this bullshit. Putting me on the spot like this doesn't make anything better. I took a sip of my tea and shook my head. "I do not wish to speak first wonder boy"
"Why not?" Robin asked
"Because I don't want to. I haven't had meditated yet and I would love to drink my tea in peace." I took a sip as I stared at him. He sighed and then looked at Beast Boy. Beast Boy looked at him with an annoyed look on his face. Robin knew this will happened so why did he go along with this in the first place. I got up and walked back to the kitchen Cyborg just shrugged his shoulders as he took out his gaming controller to go against Beast Boy. Starfire and Robin had left her room.
"So B, what's good with you and Rae?" Cyborg asked forgetting I was here still
"Nothing" Beast Boy said as he was trying to focus on beating Cyborg in the game
"Are you sure?" Cyborg started smashing buttons
"Why do you want to know"
"Because you usually tell me everything"
"Yea you are right about that, but if I tell you cannot tell Robin" He paused the game. I had made myself invisible so they can't see me during the paused game. Cyborg nodded and Beast Boy took a deep breath. "I took Raven on a sort of kind of date. It went well, too well for my liking. I thought she was doing this to get back at me for something because you and I both know she never agrees to my dates." He said and Cyborg just nodded. "So as we go get something to eat and I told her about the situation she had gotten pretty upset and ran off. So, I left it alone. After our battle with Control Freak I couldn't fall back to sleep so I went up to the roof minding. I then saw her up there and I was about to leave so she can mediate but instead she grabbed onto my shirt. She said my actual name, and I asked her what she wanted she then doesn't say anything It was quiet too quiet so I got up and once again I got up she stops me" He took another breath. Cyborg looked interested. "She says my name once again and she tells me I hurt her. I could see that she had been crying since that night I told her off. I then pulled her close and the…" He paused to look at Cyborg who was now hyped up.
"What happened?" Cyborg moved around as he looked like he had ants in his pants.
I saw a small smile on his face. "I pulled her close and kissed her" A blush appeared on his cheeks
"Whoa, Whoa, you kissed Raven?!" Cyborg said a bit too loud which Beast Boy try to hush him up. "Sorry, sorry but wow. I'm proud of you my man. Took you both long enough. So, when is the wedding" Cyborg joked which made Beast Boy roll his eyes.
"But there's more to that after the kiss. She freaked out and tried to run off after the kiss. I had to pin her down to the ground but she used her magic to fling me off which caused me to scrap up my knee. It's like I saw that she enjoyed the kiss but she freaked out. I don't know what to do man. I want her but I'm not sure if that is good idea now. She is confused and so am I. What do you think?" He sighed
"I think it's about that time you and her had a talk about how you truly feel. If you truly fallen in love in love with her you should tell her." Cyborg stood up to stretch. "Anyway want to go get a drink?" He asked as Beast Boy stood up also and nodded. "Sure I have nothing better to do," They both had left the living room and left out the tower.
I finally turned myself visible. Felt weird spying on their whole conversation but at least I know how I feel about him. I might sort of know how he feels. Still not sure if it was fake or not. I walked to my room after cleaning my cup. I stood in front of the mirror over and over to see what Beast Boy see's in me. I change into sweats and a t-shirt and walk back out with a book.
"Ugff" I crashed into Starfire without knowing. "Sorry Star" I picked up my book
"No worry. Are you okay?" She was floating off the ground.
"Yea. Hey Star, can I ask you for advice?" I asked shyly
Her face filled with joy. "Yes friend please let me help." She grabbed my hand and had me follow her to her room. As we came inside of her room everything was too pink and smelled like strawberries, but I needed the advice so I couldn't complain right now. I sat down and explained what has been going on for the past few days. Every little detail including the kiss. Her face lit up like a kid in the candy store me telling her this.
"Wow Raven, this is pretty how would you earthlings say it, juicy. I want you and Beast Boy to fall in the love like Robin and I but you two would need to let each other how feel in the heart you humans have. From there you two would know if you two are meant to be." Starfire held her pillow. She was right, Cyborg was right and so was Robin. I think it is time for Beast Boy and I finally see where we stand. I thank Starfire, went to my room and changed my clothes into something causal then headed out of the tower to find Beast Boy. Knowing him and Cyborg went to the local bar. I made my way to the bar and I saw them right there sitting drinking and having a laugh.
I went over to them and Cyborg walk over. Beast Boy had his back towards me so I tapped on his shoulder. "Hello..." I said
He turned around and he looked shocked at me. "Rae? What are you doing here?" He placed his drink down.
"I'll be over there" Cyborg said awkwardly as he walked away from the both of us.
"Can I talk to you outside" My heart was racing I wasn't sure what I was planning to say.
We both walked out the bar and walked down to the docs. I stood there looking at the water while he seemed confused on why I dragged him out here.
"So…" He questioned "What's up?"
I choked up a bit and took a deep breath. "I know how you feel about me" I began and I looked back towards him. He now looked concerned on what I meant. "I know you have very strong feelings for me. I know you have been falling for me for the longest. I won't question why but I just honestly want to know why and if those feelings are real?" I felt my heart beating in my ears.
He gave off a chuckle and he smile as he looked up to the sky. "Raven before I answer any of that. Are you sure you want to hear my answers? I don't want you running off again or feel that I am hurting you," He looked right back at me. I slowly nodded and was scared shitless not knowing what he meant. "Alright you asked for it. First off you just said you won't question why but then you just asked why so hypocrite move but not here to judge. The truth is yes. I am falling for you day by day Raven. You are very beautiful and seeing you melts my heart. I just wish you can see that instead of seeing it as me trying to fill the void of Terra messing with my emotions. I want to give you the world only if you let me do so." He held out his hand "Will you let me show you how I truly feel about you?"
I felt like I was about to faint with his words. I started to tear up. I felt his hands underneath my chin like last night. He wiped the tears out of my eyes and smiled. "Just let me show you what true love feels like." He whispered and leaned closer as before. His lips pressed against mines and we shared a long passionate kiss. This felt like everything. Everything I ever wanted and more. Beast Boy was the one I want and now I have him. This day has gotten from bad to good and it's all because of this green shapeshifter right before my eyes. Once we broke the kiss he held me close and I hugged him back.
