Hey guys again, i'm sorry for the wait. Honestly i've been pretty lazy around the house and have had plenty of time to write, but sometimes the ideas just dont hit me as quickly if you know what i mean. truthfully im making this story line up as i go, and as much as i want to change the plot completely you guys seem to like it the way it is! and i seriously love you for that! thank you so much for reviewing:) it makes my world! :D enjoy;)
She smiles now. Such a beautiful smile. Every day she beams at me, her stunning amethyst orbs looking straight into my soul.
I feel so close to her now. I feel like I can feel it when bobs up and down chuckling with laughter. Even the other Titans have noticed the change in her. I swear her eyes sparkle now, really they do.
I didn't think it humanly possible for anyone to be so stunning! I wondered if maybe it was the demon blood within her that causes her to be so…her.
She's so lively now! All I did was talk to her! She told me everything. She told me how she felt when that damned fool Malchior broke her heart. She told me how she sometimes cried in her sleep. She told me about the nightmares she had days before Trigon destroyed the earth.
Every night I go to her room when the others are asleep, and we share secrets with each other. It's incredible but…I'm terrified. I'm terrified that this is all a dream, and that I'll wake up and everything will be normal again, with Raven remaining locked within the boundaries of her room for millenniums without ever coming out. I just want to enjoy this. Every day my love for her grows stronger and it's becoming too much to bare. I think that I should…that maybe I should tell someone.
Wish me luck,
Garfield Logan
Beast Boy sighed at the entry. Whom he would tell he had no idea. Loving Raven was something a man just had to get off of his chest! With that thought, the changeling sought off for a glass of soy milk.
Upon the roof she sighed. Cyborg commented on Raven's lack of eating, and in doing this, convinced her to have one of his famous pulled pork sandwiches. She refused at first, but the mouthwatering smell of barbeque was calling to her! So she ate. And ate. And ate. And ate. She hadn't meant to be greedy, but she was just so hungry that she felt her stomach was going to jump through her throat to reach the food if she didn't oblige. Cyborg assumed his cooking was superb and that she'd enjoyed it so much that she just wanted more and more.
She'd given in. Just when she thought she was doing fine, well damn Cyborg had to go and barbeque. Well that's alright. She wasn't going to give in again.
A knock at the Tameranian's door caused her to jump slightly then say, "Come in."
The changeling figured that telling the girl that felt like an older sister would be his best bet.
"Hey Star. Got a minute?"
"Of course friend Beast Boy. Do you require the assistance?"
"…Yeah. Something like that. See…I…well…I have a…friend who…um…" Starfire had never seen Beast Boy struggle for words, so she urged for him to continue. "I have a friend who likes Raven."
"Oh this is glorious friend! Raven has told me how she would enjoy the friend of boy some day!"
"You mean a boyfriend?"
"…?"
"Never mind. Um, well my friend wants to know…how he should tell her."
"Perhaps you should tell this friend that Raven is quite fond of poetry and tea, so perhaps he could recite poetry for her and take her out for tea!"
"Star, that's brilliant! Thanks! Man I can't wait to tell-" The green teen stopped himself when he caught sight of the red head's smirk. She knew he was asking for advice simply for himself. Not even Starfire was that naive. "I'll be sure to tell my friend. Thanks Starfire." And with that, he slipped out of the room to speak with Robin.
The sunset is so pretty, Happiness sighed as Raven smiled at it.
"Yeah, it is…" she agreed aloud.
"What is?" a voice came from behind her.
She turned to find a half metal man looking down at her.
"The sunset."
"Sounded like you were talking to someone," he mused as he took a seat beside her.
"…I was speaking with my emotions."
"Ah," he mumbled. "Well they're right. It's a perfect sight."
"Mmm," she agreed. "What brings you up here?" she wondered.
"…I wanted to ask you something."
Wary now, she whispered, "What is it?"
"First things first. You have to swear you'll tell me the truth. And not just any swear. I'm trusting you as my little sis to gimme nothin' but the truth. Down?"
She sighed. "Fine. Deal."
"Okay. Well…noticed that you've been more lively lately. Experiencing things here and there, letting the chips fall where they may."
"Your point?"
"Today when I made you that sandwich…well I've never seen anyone devour anything that quickly Rae. Got me to thinking that maybe…" the sun was just about down now, and the sky was painted with violet and ebony. The moon shone brightly reflecting off of Cyborg's metal chest plate. Raven thought it looked beautiful, the way the light danced on his body. "That maybe you haven't been eating like a normal person should."
"…I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm absolutely fine."
"Beast Boy's the one that brought this to my attention kiddo. He asked me to make sure you ate the other day when he had to leave the tower. And ya didn't."
"…"
"Speechless, huh?"
"Cyborg…I…I can explain-" The alarm sounded interrupting her briefly.
Thank Azar, Raven thought.
"I don't think so kid. You're gonna tell me why you haven't been eating."
"But…the alarm-"
"What alarm?" he mused pushing a button on his arm turning the alarm off.
"Grr."
Cyborg chuckled and said, "I have access to the mainframe and the security system. Don't ya think I got the hook up?"
"Look the reason…you can't tell anyone alright? And I'm notanorexic or anything so don't go around thinking that. I eat…Just not often. Anyway…the reason is cause-"
"Cyborg," the throaty voice of their leader brought them from their conversation. They both turned their attention to the monitor screen on his arm and sighed in unison. "I thought I told you never to turn off the alarm unless-"
"Yeah, yeah I got it bird boy," Cyborg muttered clicking another button turning the screen off. "Continue?"
"…I haven't been eating because…well my birthday is coming up…"
"…"
"And well…my powers are at their peak on my birthday. So I figured that if I didn't eat…I wouldn't have enough strength to go around destroying the earth…"
"You're…kidding right? You haven't been eating because of your birthday?"
"I don't want to hurt any of you! I'll be fine! As long as I meditate-"
"Let's go," he murmured, taking hold of her arm.
"Where are we going?"
"Common room. We're gonna get the others' opinions on this,"
"No we can't!" Raven screeched, snatching her arm back from the metal man. Baffled, he eyed her until she muttered, "Please Cy, I am trusting you as my big brother. Please you can't tell anyone!"
"Rae, I have to. You can't just starve yourself-"
"Okay, fine I'll eat! Better? So now we don't have to mention this to a soul!"
"…Alright Rae," he murmured. After staring into her eyes for what felt like ages, abruptly he pulled her into an embrace. "But you have to swear you won't do this again."
"…Promise," she said hugging her large friend back.
"Good. I'm gonna go put on some dinner and you'd better be there." He said, taking his leave.
She sighed again. So the 'starving myself' thing didn't work out. She thought. Now what?
"Hey Robin," the changeling said. "…Can I tell you something?"
Okay so by far that was the worst chapter i've written so far...but the next one will make up for it promise!
with love,
