Chapter 5: Blackmail Backfire

Previous Chapter: Beast Boy sighed while smiling, realizing that his crush was more than a crush. He really had strong feelings for Raven. After the experience of possibly losing her forever he realized how much she meant to him. It was this that caused him to decide to try harder to show her how he felt/go out with her. Whichever was easier or came first. But first there was one thing he had to do. He didn't look forward to what he was forced to do at night when Raven was asleep. Hopefully Robin forgot about it…

The day went by very fast for Beast Boy, that is, after he had a talk with Robin and dreaded what he had to do that night.

Flashback:

"But dude! She was out cold the whole night! She doesn't deserve to be the victim of a prank." Beast Boy argued to his leader, alone with him in the common room.

"That was only because of the medicine we gave her, Cyborg said she only would've been out for around 2 hours. And she's not the target, you are." Robin said back with a smug smile.

"But dude why are you even making me do this?" Beast Boy asked, waving his arms.

"Because you brought Star and I into this, and it's embarrassing what you made up about us I won't deny" Robin said back. "And Beast Boy, you just saved her life. I would assume if she caught you, she wouldn't kill you." Robin said jokingly with a smile. Beast Boy couldn't help smile either.

"Alright but remember if she catches me, I get to blame you and prank you, which evens everything." Beast Boy said back, holding out his hand to shake. Robin took it firmly, and shook hard and nodded.

End flashback

It was nearly 11:30 p.m. and Raven had only been seen once or twice throughout the day, staying mostly in her room. Though Beast Boy had no idea (how would he), Raven had meditated with her emotions, and concluded that she liked Beast Boy as a very close friend. Raven was always the first to go to sleep at night, usually before 11:30 which Beast Boy knew. Beast Boy decided it was long enough for her to be asleep, so he gave Robin a significant look and got up from the couch, leaving the three Titans and "The Shining".

"What a baby…scared of the shining" Cyborg said in an undertone to himself with a smirk.

Beast Boy reached Raven's room, and with a gulp, packed in enough courage and morphed into a mosquito. Flying under her door and into the pitch black room, he immediately stopped. He had to be careful, so he morphed into a cat, and pawed across the room towards the dresser, seeing all with his nocturnal eyes. The dresser was left of the bed, and in the bed was Raven, fast asleep, and holding her fluffy purple covers close to her.

She looks so cute! I'd give anything for her to be ok with me in her bed, and to snuggle with her and keep her warm instead of her covers.

He crept up to the dresser and put his paws on the bottom drawer, and shifted to normal form, with his hands on the bottom drawer now. He pulled it open as slow as he could, and resumed cat form to see what was inside.

Damn! It was her cloaks. He repeated the process with the second to bottom, and found he was luckier that time. There were Ravens bras, all sorts of them. How Beast Boy wanted to see Raven in them all at a time, how he wanted so badly to touch…..them. He pawed a pretty standard black bra, and presuming human form, he stripped off the top of his uniform.

God I feel like an idiot! How did I get into this! He thought furiously as he began to put the bra on, putting both arms through. This really is some life I lead.

Holding up the camera in the darkness at himself, he decided to smile for the camera. He wasn't going to show Robin that he had been embarrassed through it or upset.

Snap!*

Phew…I'm glad that's over with Beast Boy thought….but froze when he heard movement coming from Raven's bed. He panicked; he was frozen petrified. Suddenly, a light switched on and Beast Boy was completely exposed to Raven. After turning on her lamp she stared, open mouthed at Beast Boy, who stood like a deer in the headlights. Several painful seconds went by in which Beast Boy could literally feel his sweat drip down the length of his body. Raven didn't know what to think. Here she was woken in the night by a noise, and turns the light on to see Beast Boy with a camera, shirtless, and wearing one of her bras.

"Beast Boy what the hell is going on?" She said in her angry monotone, stepping out of her bed in just her leotard. She had a mad impulse to laugh at how uncomfortable he looked and how random the situation was.

"Raven I'm so sorry I can explain everything!" Beast Boy said exasperatedly.

"That would probably be a good idea!" She said, eyeing him daggers as she engulfed her bra in black energy, and forced it off Beast Boy and back into her drawer. She stood, with her hands on her hips, waiting for Beast Boy to explain with a light blush visible on her cheeks. Beast Boy found this pose attractive, but forced this out of his mind as there were more important matters at hand. After putting his uniform top back on, he wasted no time explaining to her all about Robin's blackmail, just as Robin had promised he could if he were caught. Raven, although upset, knew she couldn't be mad at Beast Boy as it was not his fault. She did have one question though.

"What did he blackmail you with?" she inquired.

Shit! I didn't think of that!

"He uh…threatened to tell this girl that I have a crush on her" He said which he felt he pulled off because it really was the truth.

"Now why would he do that?" she asked, not curious sounding at all.

"Because me and Cy pulled that prank on him and Star" Beast Boy said back; this question he was prepared for and he now felt good about things.

"Very well, I forgive you only because it wasn't your fault." Raven said, who, truth be told was still half asleep. "However I now have two reasons to get Robin back, so if you would like to prank him, I would be willing to join you." She offered.

"Dude, that'd be awesome!" Beast Boy yelped

"What did I say about the word dude?" she said impatiently.

"Sorry Rae. I know just the prank we could do!" he said, about to steal Cyborgs idea.

"Let's hear it" she replied interested, sitting back on her bed and tapping a spot next to her.

Beast Boy plopped down and realized how comfortable her bed was.

"Jeez Rae, wanna trade beds?" he said.

"I'm afraid not. Now let's hear your idea" she said after smiling at his remark.

Beast Boy explained the idea Cyborg came up with, stealing his credit in trade for getting to hear his crush giggle at what she thought was his wit.

"Alright I'd be willing to do that. You know this will be my first prank" she said.

"Yea I know, It's gonna be fun. Especially with you" Beast Boy said, his eyes twinkling.

Raven looked back with flattered eyes, blinking quite often because of her sleepiness.

"Alright, let's get going." The green Titan said, getting up off the bed.

"Now?" she said unbelievingly.

"Yeah, they're all watching a movie, now's the best time" he said, grasping Raven's hand and pulling her up off the bed.

"Alright but let me get a cloak on" she said sleepily. She walked over to her dresser, slouching her bare feet, followed by Beast Boy. Out of her exhaustion, she accidently opened the wrong drawer, revealing all her underwear. Like her bras, there were all sorts of underwear. There were regular panties, thongs, G-Strings, some lacy and all different colors. Raven turned a deep pink, and quickly shut the drawer after audibly gasping.

"Well well well Raven, more exotic underwear I see" Beast Boy said teasingly.

Raven responded by possessing one of her cloaks on the floor to wrap itself around Beast Boys head, blinding him. She then decided to playfully send a black arm to grasp the back of his boxers, and yank them up into a wedgie. Beast Boy squealed, and threw the cloak off him, fixing his boxers while Raven giggled at him, and said teasingly back;

"Nice dinosaur boxers Beast Boy!" If Raven had gone red, it was nothing to how Beast Boy was now. Only because it was his crush that saw, otherwise he wouldn't have minded. However he decided to retaliate and try flirting for a chance. He grabbed one of Ravens man pillows and ran forward, swinging it across Raven's upper body. She didn't know what to do. Beast Boy had recently been testing her in ways she had never been tested. Never had anyone tried to start a pillow fight with her. She decided to go for it however, and black magicked the pillow in Beast Boy's hands to fly up and continuously whack him in the head, while she started giggling, finding it highly amusing and, she admitted, fun. Beast Boy morphed into a squirrel, and leapt onto Raven, gripping onto her body and tickling her all over.

I never thought she would be ticklish He thought, as he dodged her grabs.

"B-Beast Boy….S-Stop" she yelled through her laughter. Beast Boy obliged, and in human form walked to the door. Turning back, he said "I won", which caused Raven to roll her eyes at him.

"Let's go!" Beast Boy said, leading her out of her room and into the dark hallway.

"Since your new to this, I'm gonna lead the way ok?" he said to her, grasping her hand and starting to quietly run down the hall towards Starfire's room. Raven was surprised that he held her hand, but found that she didn't mind, and got that feeling she got when she hugged him. It felt good and safe, and she enjoyed it for whatever reason, she didn't know.

The two Titans stole Starfire's perfume, Beast Boy doing dramatic spy-like moves making Raven smile at his immaturity. Sneaking it to Robin's room, they barged in, found one of his many bottles of cologne, and chose the one that was closest to where Robin would stand. Raven bewitched the bottle to open, and the contents to phase outside the wall of the Tower and into the water far below.

"That smelt good" she said, feeling herself the slightest bit possible turned on when she looked at Beast Boy in his skintight clothes with the scent.

What the hell is wrong with me!? She thought! Beast Boy however, decided he would have to get some cologne at some point. He poured the perfume into the cologne bottle, and laughed evilly, looking at Raven, who had the same look on her face as she did before throwing the "stank-ball" at Cyborg.

"Let's get out of here!" Beast Boy said, grabbing her hand again and running out of the room and back into Ravens room. Entering Raven's room, Raven sat down on her bed, and yawned widely for a few seconds and stretched.

"You should sleep now Rae" said Beast Boy, wishing he could curl up next to her.

"Yeah I think I will, that was fun Beast Boy. I never knew being immature could be that fun" she said, causing Beast Boy to chuckle.

"Welcome to my world" he said lightheartedly, as Raven pulled the covers over her body. "Goodnight Rae, I hope you sleep well" he said sweetly.

"Thanks Beast Boy, you too" she said while yawning at the same time, clearly already half asleep. Beast Boy stood there, watching her for a minute or so, before he couldn't help himself, and walked to her bed and leaned over. He ran his hand through her hair, tucking it into her ear, and gently tucked her in, as if he was her loving husband. He moved his mouth to her ear, and quietly whispered;

"Sweet dreams my love". She moaned softly, and shifted her position. Beast Boy thought this was so cute, and to his pleasure, he saw she had a small smile on her face. It's a good thing she's fast asleep, he thought. It took him a lot of effort to walk away from the beautiful girl before him, but he knew he had to. He walked back to his room, feeling happier than he had in months. His feet felt so light on the ground, and as he reached his room, he didn't bother changing. He just leapt onto his bed, and fell sound asleep. Although he wouldn't remember his dream in the morning, he dreamt a nice and sweet dream of Raven, the girl whom he now loved.

Chapter 5: Part 2 – A friendly visit and surprise

A/N so this is the second part of the chapter, if you think I should've made it two chapters please let me know in a review and I can change it if you think it's better. Please tell me what you think so far and enjoy the second half!

Beast Boy awoke from his sleep to a very warm morning and stretched his back. While he did this he reflected all that had happened the night before. He was worried he might have overdone some things, and was thankful Raven was half asleep and might not have realized. He changed into a new uniform, and walked out of his room to get some breakfast. When entering the kitchen, he saw four friendly faces. Starfire and Robin were sitting on the couch, already having eaten breakfast. Robin had his arm over Starfire's shoulder, and both looked incredibly happy and in love. Beast Boy smiled at this, happy for both of them. Cyborg was at the breakfast table, gobbling down his breakfast, most likely his forth helping. And on the counter, her legs crossed and sipping her tea was Raven.

"Good morning Titans" Beast Boy called to his friends, none of which had noticed him.

"Good morning"

"Mornin' B"

"Hey Beast Boy"

"Friend! How was your sleep?" They all said simultaneously.

"I slept well Star, thanks" Beast Boy said to her grinning, receiving one back. He looked at Cyborg who gave him a nod, and then to Raven, who had just lowered the mug from her mouth and gave Beast Boy a rare wide smile. Beast Boy nodded his head towards Robin, silently asking about the prank, to which she responded by shaking her head. Disappointed, Beast Boy walked down to the counter, took out some soy milk and frosted flake and ate his breakfast with the company of his companions.

Up until around 12:30, nothing really interesting happened to Beast Boys day. He decided to give Raven some space, due to perhaps overdoing last night. However he was to receive a friendly visit from his crush, much to his pleasure. Beast Boy knew that Raven definitely had strong feelings for him, but he still didn't think she liked him more than a friend. He was half right. She had told herself she liked him as a very good friend, but deep down she sort of new she had feelings for him as more than a friend. He didn't have any clear evidence however, so he had to wait and try to please her again. Beast Boy did wonder about her emotions however, and that even if she did like him and would want to go out with him, that she would say no only because she would need to keep her emotions under control. However is she had a love emotion, then all she would have to do is meditate to keep it under control, right? All these questions burned in his head like a flame, as he sat thinking in his room, when he heard a knock on his door. He got up and looked at the clock; it was 12:32. Opening his door, he saw Raven standing there with her hood up and head in shadow.

"Hey Rae, what's up?" he asked, curious and hoping she would want to hang out.

"Hi, I thought I'd visit and take you up on your offer to play a game in your room and listen to Radiohead" she said, granting Beast Boys wish.

"Oh yea that sounds great! Come on in and make yourself comfortable" he said welcomingly, motioning her entrance. Raven smiled briefly, and stepped into his room. She looked around, taking in his room. It looked WAY cleaner than last time she was in here. Perhaps he cleaned after he invited me to visit at some point.

That was nice and thoughtful of him Raven thought pleasantly to herself.

"Alright so what do you want to play missy?" he asked, smirking as he saw her eyebrow twitch at the use of the word "missy".

"What do you have?" she asked, her backed turned to him, still taking in his room.

"I've got scrabble, monopoly, uh…scategories….Oh I've got a deck of cards here, ever played pitch before?" he asked, hoping the answer was yes.

"Yes I have, I'm not very good I haven't played that game much, but sure I'll play it" she said, turning back to him and walking over to his table.

"It's pretty hot in here, you can take your cloak off if you want" Beast Boy said politely, offering to take it. Raven however found this very interesting, in fact she stared at him, slightly open mouthed for a few seconds before shrugging her cloak off and handing it to him, muttering thanks. This impressed Raven beyond anything he had done so far.

I didn't know Beast Boy could be such a gentleman as well as a goofball she thought. Beast Boy hung it up on his door hook, and sat opposite Raven, who had removed her chair and floated instead as usual.

"Beast Boy can you put Radiohead on?" she asked, eyeing his iHome.

"Oh, yes I can. Sorry I forgot. You seem very interested in them." Beast Boy said, walking over to the iHome and selecting Radiohead to shuffle all songs.

"Yes I like them very much, I think musically they are very skilled, but they have something no other band I've heard has. They've incorporated a whole other dimension to the music, I can't put my finger on what it is though." She said, thinking how to describe what she was trying to say.

"I know what you mean, that's why they're my favorite band. It's good that you can already appreciate this, an let me tell you once you really know them, they get even better." He said back as a song began to play, beginning with a long guitar note, with light drums played with brushes instead of drumsticks.

"This is called The Tourist" he said, walking back to the table picking up the deck of cards on the way. Raven responded by lifting her hood off her head, and perking up a bit. Beast Boy sat down and began shuffling. He was debating about telling her the she looked nice.

She might leave if I say that. But on the other hand, last night I did stuff that I thought she might be a bit upset about once she wasn't half asleep, but here she is now. She came to my room on her own, so I'll do it. He breathed in air, and looked up at her, taking in her silky purple hair, blowing in the fans breeze, and looking very nice indeed.

"You look pretty today Raven" Beast Boy said, unable to look her in the eyes when he did.

What did he just say!? He thinks I'm pretty!? Am I flattered!? She thought

"Thanks" she said, also not making eye contact. It was true, she was flattered, and she was so surprised that he thought that.

"You look quite handsome today" She said back, looking at his eyes, but darting away when he looked into hers. She could feel herself lightly flush pink, and part of her couldn't believe she had just said that.

"Thanks Rae" Beast Boy said smiling. Inside Beast Boy it was like the fourth of July, his mind was racing with celebration. She thinks I'm handsome! Wahoo!

"What do you think of this song so far?" he asked, breaking the awkward silence and beginning to deal the cards. Glad for a reason to talk about something else, she listened to the music more closely.

"I really like this song, it's beautiful but at the same time it's eerie and haunting. I think that's part of what I was trying to say; their music has so many feels to it, that it's impossible to place in one genre." She said to Beast Boy, picking up her cards with her power and bringing them close to her head in midair.

"I couldn't have put it better myself" he said back, also picking up his cards but manually.

He's full of compliments today Raven thought.

"It's your bid Rae" he said, focused on his cards.

"I'll bid two" she said, looking up and waiting. After a few more seconds in which Raven listened to the music with her full attention, Beast Boy replied.

"I'll bid three" and with that he threw down his first card: the ace of spades. He looked up to her with a look as if saying "try and beat that". Raven however, had a passive face, as she threw down the 7 of spades. Beast Boy drew out her another of her spades, and finally threw down the 10 of spades. (A/N sorry for those who have never played pitch, you probably won't get this part much but it's nothing too important) Raven, still with a straight face paused for a moment, knowing which card she was gonna put down but purposely rising the tension for Beast Boy. After 8 whole seconds, she smacked her card down with some force onto the table, and when she moved her hand, the jack of spades was revealed. Beast Boy groaned and looked up at Raven who had a smirk on her face as she collected the two cards, giving herself one sure point, and a good chance at game to even it up.

It was her go now, and she decided to play the queen of hearts, which was a lucky move. Beast Boy groaned once more as he was forced to play his only heart, which was again a 10. Raven smiled rather smugly at Beast Boy, who stuck his tongue out at her. She rolled her eyes at him, knowing this was one of his immature acts. However, in years past she knew he was trying to be funny, which was what bothered her about his immatureness. However when he did foolish things nowadays, she knew he wasn't trying to be funny, which changed her feelings on it entirely. The round finished as both Titans played their 6 cards, both ending with 2 points. However, since Beast Boy bid three and didn't get 3 points, he went down to -3. Raven had won jack and game, while Beast Boy got high and low.

"I was going easy on you that round" Beast Boy said mockingly while Raven shuffled and the song changed.

"Sure you were" she said back, "What song is this?" she asked as she heard the very mysterious beginning of "Kid A". Beast Boy however got up and started walking over to the iHome.

"You wouldn't like this song, it's called Kid A, but I'll change it." He said, but stopped right after when Raven responded.

"No, I want to hear it."

"As you wish Rae" he said, for the third time to her. Raven realized this and wondered why he kept saying that. She didn't have a problem with it, it was very nice, but it seemed like he was saying it on purpose to make her realize.

The two played several rounds of pitch until Beast Boy reached 11 points and won the game.

"Want to play another game?" Beast Boy asked, taking her cards. Raven accepted, and the two Titans played 2 more games, Beast Boy won the second, and Raven won the third game; all very close. Raven enjoyed Radiohead once again, and was beginning to feel familiar to some songs that she had heard before when they played chess. She was very much into them, and she felt like she hardly even knew them yet. At every new song, she asked the song name and what album it was off. She began to notice a similar sound with song from the same album, a certain feel to it that classified the album, but didn't have a labeled genre.

"That's why they're my favorite band" Beast Boy told her. "They aren't afraid to experiment, and they make all their albums as different as possible." To which Raven agreed, again slightly surprised by Beast Boys wise intake, and a bit impressed. Raven loved the sound of Thom Yorke's voice, and how he used his voice as an instrument. Raven told Beast Boy all of her intake on Radiohead, and when Raven said she was going to go back to her room, Beast Boy got an idea that he was very excited about. "Thanks for playing with me Rae" he said, walking her down the hallway to her room, about 15 seconds away.

Raven POV

Why is he walking me to my room? Does he really care that much? Beast Boy has been treating me very kindly lately; I really wonder what's going on. I can't deny that I like it. I haven't felt someone treat me like this since….Malchior.

"It was pleasurable Beast Boy, I had an enjoyable time." I said, looking him in those forest green eyes, noticing they were actually quite beautiful. We stood in front of my door as if he had just walked me home from a date.

"I did too Raven" he said to me with a fleeting grin, looking into my eyes as well. His right hand reached up to my shoulder, where he rested it for a second before saying sweetly and gently

"I'll see you later Rae". And with that he turned around and walked back down the hall, with some added "Swagger" to his pace.

What's he so proud of himself with? I thought, and I found that as he walked away I was unable to contain the smile that formed itself onto my face. I also slightly felt my face go pink.

What the hell is this! Why do these things keep happening to me whenever Beast Boy does something out of the ordinary!?

End of Chapter 5 part 2. Please tell me what you think, especially what you thought of the length. If you think I should've made it 2 chapters and it was too long, or if it was boring please tell me and I'll change that. Thanks for reading and all your support.
