"One Date With Me"
No ownership
X2
Beast Boy starred at her, his heart doing flips, jumping jacks, and running a marathon within the time it took for him to breathe. "Have you had enough time to think about it?" he asked nervously. He swallowed hard.
"That depends. Have you had enough time to come up with a joke that's actually funny?" Raven demanded.
"I'm not sure…" Beast Boy answered with his hand behind his neck. "All I can think of is sarcasm right at the moment and it's not helping me whatsoever!!" His ears lifted as did the corners of his mouth when she giggled. It felt as if his heart had given up on the marathon it decided to run and collapsed altogether. She thought something he said was funny. That's a good sign…right? he wondered.
With a small smile she stepped toward him and he straightened his shoulders instinctively. Her hand found his shoulders and lay there gently. Her face stayed unchanged and he swallowed hard. She was making him so nervous. "Beast Boy?" He couldn't answer her right away and she spoke before he could. "I have thought about it." He waited even more anxiously. When her arms wrapped around his shoulders he wasn't sure if it was her way of letting him down easily or saying yes.
"R-Raven?" he stuttered.
"Don't start or I will change my mind."
His eyes sparkled brightly and he hugged her back tightly. "Don't worry," he whispered near her ear. "I don't plan on ruining this." Pulling away he showed off his near enormous toothy smile. Even though she glanced away blushing just slightly, she smiled as well.
"Where would you like to go?" Beast Boy asked energetically taking hold of her hand. He watched as her expression finally changed. Her eyes widened just a bit and she glanced downward. "What do you mean?" she asked.
"I mean, you get to pick wherever you want to go. Wherever you want, that's where we'll go. I won't let our first date suck on ice."
"Well, how about the movies then?" Raven suggested almost shyly still looking to the ground.
Beast Boy laughed. "Sounds fine by me. We can get popcorn, candy, and maybe even corn dogs!" Now she glanced up at him. "Don't push it," she warned him. He laughed nervously. "Sorry. No pushing it here."
At his nervous laughter she hugged him again. "I don't understand…" "Huh?" "But I'm…glad you asked me."
Leaning up on her tiptoes so she reached his height, she gently pressed her lips against his cheek. She wasn't sure what this could bring about in her powers, but she realized she was willing to risk it. However, she was certain that if the first date was a dread she would never do it again.
Pulling away she set her hand next to his, letting him grab her smaller fingers with his somewhat larger ones. She found the warmth comfortable, reassuring, and she walked like that back into the T tower where everyone waited…positioned around the front door as if plastered to it. Raven glared at them as if they had all become Beast Boy. "What…are you doing?" she demanded.
All three of them began to whistle, pretending they had no idea what she was talking about. They did until her figure glowed black and they, like Beast Boy, got scared of her. Robin was the first to speak up. "We just wanted to see how things were going, that's all!" he told them standing next to Cyborg.
"Yes. Please, how was the exchanging of love between you two?" Starfire inquired innocently. However innocent it was, it made both Beast Boy and Raven blush. "On Tamaran, when one is to show their love for someone else, they recite all twelve hundred versus of the Tamaranian love theme! Nothing is more romantic."
"Maybe not to you." Raven mumbled under her breath. She looked next to her as Beast Boy nudged her with his elbow. He winked at her. "Speaking of, he Robin? Remember how you were looking for a way to tell Starfire how you felt? Well how about reciting all twelve hundre versus? You heard her, she thinks nothing is more romantic," he emphasized the word romantic.
"You wish to recite the Tamaranian love theme to me?!" Starfire squealed floating over next to Robin with heart shaped eyes. Robin looked away nervously, blushing hard, and Raven giggled under her breath and Beast Boy laughed out loud. "Look, Starfire...I..." Robin wasn't sure how to finish his sentence. It was tru he liked Starfire, but like Beast Boy, he didn't know how to tell her.
"Come on Robin, we all know you like Starfire." Beast Boy said. "We're just waiting to see if you do anything." He laughed as Robin glared at him, cruel irony not being something he apparently liked.
"...I...don't know all twelve hundred versus of the Tamaranian love theme..." Robin recovered. He sighed. However, his victory was short lived when Starfire grabbed his hands and began dragging him out of the room. "That is okay! I shall teach you every verse! Come!"
Robin looked back, reaching a desperate hand out to Cyborg. "Wait! At least tell me what she said!" he yelled. "Oh right!" Cyborg remembered. He turned to Beast Boy and Raven. "So??? What did she say???"
A very slight pink flush layered Raven's cheeks just under her eyes. "I said..." She side-glanced Beast Boy and he squeezed her hand encouragingly. "Yes. I said yes."
Cyborg's mouth fell to the floor with a loud clang. "ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" he shouted. "That means I win!" Robin shouted from down the hall. "You owe me five bucks Cyborg!" "Go recite your poetry man!" Cyborg shouted back.
"Nice to know you guys put a bet on us." Raven grumbled with a sweat-drop.
"Guess that means they don't think we can survive as a couple." Beast Boy said raising an irritated brow. "No! It doesn't mean anything like that!" Cyborg explained, now wishing Robin and Starfire were still in the room. He rose from the couch and began inching away, laughing nervously. "Uh, hey, wait for me Starfire!" he yelled turning tail and running down the hall. "I wanna learn the twelve hundred versus too!"
Beast Boy laughed. "I guess he'd rather put up with Tamaranian culture than us."
With a small smile Raven glanced away. "So when would you like to go?" She gasped when she felt his lips kiss up against her cheek and she looked back at his smiling face. "Whenever you're ready," he told her.
"Now seems like a pretty good time." Raven gave him another small smile. One of the many things about her he liked so much. Wrapping his arm around her shoulder he walked with her out of the T tower.
Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg...
"You still owe me five bucks." Robin mumbled under his breath as Starfire recited lines.
"Yeah...well..." "Any questions friends?" Starfire interrupted. "Robin has one!" Cyborg yelled pointing down at Robin. Robin glowered. Starfire looked at him curiously. "Yes Robin?"
"How do you tell someone you're gonna kill them in Tamaranian?" Robin asked glarin at Cyborg, who laughed nervously.
A/N: Well, that's it for the second chapter. There are points where it's harder then others to keep everyone in character, especially Raven. It's certainly a challenge, but it's one I'm enjoying all the way. X3
