All is needed to improve and for that I thank you. Hope you enjoy this chapter, as there is more BB Rae fluff involved it in. Read, Review, and enjoy!

Chapter 6: Beast Boy's Plan

Previous Chapter: Beast Boy is blackmailed to take a picture of him wearing one of Raven's bras, and he is caught. He and Raven decide to turn the tables on Robin and initiate a preemptive prank, switching his cologne with Starfire's perfume. Afterwards, Raven invites herself into Beast Boys room to play a game of pitch and listen to Radiohead. Once again, Raven finds she is hooked on the band, and loves them more than ever. Speaking of love, Beast Boy realizes he is in love with Raven. Raven denies her "more than friends" feelings for Beast Boy, but doesn't know what to think when she is flattered by his actions. She realized he has been treating her like a gentleman, and she can't deny that she likes it.

Beast Boy left Raven's door with an idea stuck in his head. He was going to take Starfire along with him to "the mall of shopping" and have her help him pick out the second gift he was going to get for Raven; the first being something he knew she would love. He went to his room first, upon where he retrieved his wallet and pocketed it. Next, he paid a visit to the common room, where he found Starfire and Robin sitting on the couch together watching some romantic comedy Starfire most likely dragged Robin to watch; hence the "get me out of here" look he had on his face when she wasn't looking.

"Hey Beast Boy" Robin said, glad for a distraction from the movie.

"Hey Robin, I was wondering Star if you'd like to go the mall with me" he said, earning an "I'm saved" look from Robin. "But I can see you two are clearly wrapped up in this movie, so I'll wait till it's over. He added, as Robins look turned into a most unpleasant one.

"Oh yes, I would love to, but after the movie please, you are right." Starfire said back in her energetic and excited voice.

Beast Boy grinned and left the room, leaving behind a disappointed Robin. Beast Boy decided to shower while he waited, and on his way he heard Raven's voice, coming from within her room. Beast Boy leaned his ear up against her cold steel door, and heard her repeating her mantra, several times.

Must have a lot on her mind he thought, as he walked to his room and prepared. He stripped his clothes off, wrapped his towel around him, and picked up a clean uniform along with shampoo and body wash. Upon leaving the room, he entered the hallway just as Raven's door opened and she too walked out, and turned left towards Beast Boy, noticing he was wearing just a towel.

"Hey Beast Boy, mind if I use the bathroom before you shower?" she asked politely but emotionlessly. Eyeing the shampoo and body wash in his hands.

"Sure Rae, go ahead" he said back, equally politely, his toned arms motioning towards the bathroom door. Raven nodded her head, and as she got closer she couldn't help but gaze at Beast Boy's chest and body, and couldn't deny the fact that he looked kind of hot in just a towel. She looked up and into his eyes and realized he had caught her looking, because of the shocked expression on his face, but pleasantly shocked. She quickly walked past him and into the bathroom before he could see her blush.

Well well well, someone couldn't help but take a peek at my body Beast Boy thought, feeling butterflies in his stomach. He decided he was safe to go along with his plan, and that she liked him enough that she wouldn't do what he feared. (A/N you'll find out)

Inside the bathroom, Raven was washing her hands, and decided she needed to continue meditating in her room, as she needed to once and for all figure out what was going on with her feelings towards Beast Boy and why he was acting so strangely to her, and, her behavior towards him.

One half hour later, Beast Boy emerged from the bathroom, feeling clean and smelling like axe. Hanging his towel up in his room and putting back his shampoo and body wash, he received a knock on his door. He was betting it was Starfire, and sure enough it was.

"Friend, I am ready to accompany you to the mall of shopping!" she said excited. "What do you wish to shop for?" she asked, as Beast Boy walked out of his room and the two started to walk down the hallway. They looked for Cyborg and asked him if he could pick them up in 2 hours' time, the reason being that Starfire often purchased way too much to fly home. He agreed, always happy for a reason to drive the T-Car around. Beast Boy and Starfire walked up the rooftop stairs and opened the door to a nice mid-afternoon sky, bright blue and cloudless. The warm sun cast a beautiful reflection on the water, (A/N does anyone know if the water surrounding Titans Tower is a lake or the ocean?)

The two titans took flight, and journeyed across the horizon, Beast Boy in the form of a green bald eagle. He had decided he wanted to pick out both his gifts for Raven; it added more character and made it more personable to him. He knew one of them he was going to get, it was crucial to his plan. She could however, help him pick out cologne that Raven might find…..arousing. If he asked her to help him with that, it would probably be easiest to tell Starfire of his crush on Raven.

When the two landed down at the malls entrance, they were greeted by the usual commotion of fans and had to sign a few autographs. The two walked inside and Beast Boy began to tell Star of his soft spot for their teammate.

"This is glorious news!" she began, after giving Beast Boy one of her rib cracking hugs.

"Yea, thanks Star, but if you could help me find cologne that might….turn her on…..if you know what I mean?" he asked, choosing his words carefully, unable to say "aroused" out of the awkwardness".

"If you are suggesting that raven has an 'on switch' somewhere on her body" she began, sounding confused before Beast Boy cut her off.

"No I mean, you know…" he said, searching for a way to explain it and avoiding too much awkwardness. "A scent that might kind of….excite her?" he said, with emphasize on the word.

A look of confusion dawned on Starfire's face for a few seconds, before her face suddenly showed understanding and she said vaguely; "oooohhhhh". Perhaps she had some experience with this from Robin's cologne.

"You understand?" Beast Boy questioned, quite relieved.

"Yes I believe so, if it is arousal you wish to deal, then I do understand." She said back in her more calm and non-excited voice. And so it went, Starfire helped Beast Boy pick out the perfect cologne, based on what she knew of Raven. After all, Starfire was a girl too. They ended up picking "Fierce" by Abercrombie and Fitch. After this, Starfire and Beast Boy split up, Starfire on her way to the beauty salon, and Beast Boy on his way to "Amoeba Music", with his new cologne in his pocket. Amoeba Music had EVERY album, and for great prices too.

Warding off a few more fans, he made it into the crowded shop, and walked right to the "R" section. Right in the beginning, he reached Radiohead and saw many stocks of all their albums. Pablo Honey, The Bends, Ok Computer, Kid A, Amnesiac, Hail to the Thief, In Rainbows, and The King of Limbs. What caught his eye however, was the big package labeled; "Radiohead Album Anthology." He was planning on just getting her "In Rainbows and Kid A", but this would be the bomb! Checking the sticker, he felt that $49.99 was a very reasonable price for 8 albums, and all their B sides.

Would this be an overkill though? He thought. You can never tell with Raven. And when in doubt with Raven, always go overboard he thought, deciding that was going to be his rule.

He picked up the heavy anthology, brought it to the counter, and was forced to sign an autograph for the clerk, at the risk of being banned from the store.

"What a way to treat your heroes" he said in disgust as he walked out with the package under his arm, and sat down on a nearby bench.

What should my second gift be…..What does Raven like...Tea!

And with that thought, he walked to Incense and Peppermints, where he knew they sold many different items, but tea as well which perhaps, Raven might like.

5 minutes later, he emerged from the shop, carrying the anthology as well as a moderate sized bag of Ginseng Oolong Tea packets, a type of herbal tea that had an extra twist to it. Very pleased with himself and his purchases, Beast Boy took the elevator up to the third floor and into the Beauty Salon. Starfire was in the middle of a pedicure, having just gotten a manicure. Beast Boy stood by her nice comfy chair, and showed her what he had gotten for Raven. Starfire was ecstatic, and seemed to be more excited about it than Beast Boy was. The lady performing the pedicure started getting very annoyed, as every time Starfire said something excitedly, she clenched her toes.

When Starfire was through and had purchased some new perfume, (Beast Boy was reminded of the prank that was still in play) the two friends walked down to the main entrance on the ground floor, and sat waiting for Cyborg to show up in the T-Car, who was so far 12 minutes late.

"Ugh I hate it when he does this! He takes longer routes and detours on purpose just so he can drive his "baby" longer!" Beast Boy said, his patience running low as he was tired of people running up to him and Starfire and asking for autographs.

"Calm yourself friend, Cyborg may have merely lost track of time" she said back, after signing a young boy's paper.

"Yeah, we'll see what happened to him". His thoughts strayed to Raven and when he would give her the gifts he bought. He was nervous about what he was going to do, but he knew it was time. He was confident enough that she definitely had some "more than friends" feelings for him…..or so he hoped.

Cyborg ended up arriving 16 minutes late, with the excuse that he had "gotten lost" on the way up. Beast Boy gave Starfire an "I told you so" look, and the three titans rode back to the Tower, Cyborg seeming to not have any difficulties finding his way this time around.

Back at the tower, Beast Boy busied himself by wrapping Raven's two presents in purple plaid wrapping paper, and tied the gifts together. To complete the ensemble, he added a nice gold bow on top. Beast Boy admired his handiwork, and set the gifts aside on his desk. It was close to dinner time, and he decided he would wait till morning to give her the presents.

"What are we doing for dinner tonight?" Robin asked his team, as they all sat in the common room.

"I could make flap jacks", Cyborg suggested eagerly, to which the team rejected.

"I thought you were making that tomorrow morning" Beast Boy pointed out.

"Oh yeah…..how about pizza then!" Cyborg said, picking up from his disappointment.

The team all agreed, and within 15 minutes they had arrived at the pizza parlor and were filing out of the T-Car. Beast Boy, on the left of the back seat, stepped out of the car while Raven in the middle, began to move towards his door. Beast Boy held out a hand for Raven to take in assistance, who stared open mouthed for a second before taking it and allowing him to help her out of the car. They were both reminded of the time Beast Boy helped her up after she was shot during Mad Mod's "Revolution".

"Thank you, Beast Boy" she said with a hint of a smile.

"No problem Rae" he said back, receiving a wink and thumbs up from Cyborg who had just gotten out of the driver seat. Raven started walking towards the entrance, when Beast Boy got a quick idea to show his gentlemanliness (that's actually a word). He was going to hold the door open for Raven to pass through, like a true gentleman. He whizzed forward as fast as he could, everything in sight a moving blur and overtook Raven who was inches from the half open door. He took it in his hands, swung it forwards, and stood there with the handle clutched in his glove with a bright grin on his face. Raven however, began to giggle as Robin and Cyborg both howled with laughter too. Beast Boy had no clue what they thought was amusing, and so began to nervously chuckle too.

"Thanks for holding the Automatic Door open" Raven said sarcastically but with dry humor, walking past the now blushing Beast Boy.

"Real smooth" said Cyborg with a smirk as he walked on past.

"Shut up, remember the time you tried singing to Bee and she couldn't stop laughing?" Beast Boy retaliated, satisfied with his comeback.

Dinner went by with nothing to eventful, except of course that Raven sat next to Beast Boy when she was the second to sit with open seats all around. Starfire demanded every topping, complete with mustard of course, Robin got pepperoni, Cyborg asked for meat lovers pizza, Raven ordered cheese, and we all know what kind Beast Boy ate.

The night was a cloudless black sky, the sliver of the moon just visible among the mass of bright stars. Raven had been in her room all night meditating, and as she stopped and looked at her clock, she gave a very long sigh. It was 11:29 at night, and she had finally come to the conclusion (after trying for hours to come up with an alternative reason for her behavior, true or not), that she did indeed have a very small crush on Beast Boy.

Sure he is green, but then again I'm gray. I guess once I fell for his personality, he started becoming attractive to me. And I can't deny, he is a gentleman, and definitely knows how to treat a girl with respect and kindness. Not to mention, he has gotten both taller and toned in the muscles.

And with that thought, Raven went under her covers and psychically turned off her lamp. She clutched her covers close that night, and fell into a peaceful and sound sleep.

The next morning was the same as any other morning. It was a nice may morning, a few clouds in the sky to balance the sun. The Titans had already eaten breakfast, and they remained in the common room doing their own thing/s. Raven was reading unsurprisingly, Cyborg and Beast Boy were playing their game-station, and Starfire was merely sitting on the couch, watching the clash of the two boys with many cheers that Raven found distracting.

Robin had gone off to take a shower, and returned some 30 minutes later in a fit, angrily talking to Starfire about smelling like a girl. Beast Boy realized what was going on and paused the video game, allowing him and Cyborg to watch. Both had a sever fit of the giggles and had to use all their might to not laugh audibly.

"Robin" Starfire began carefully but questioningly "Why do you wear my perfume?"

At this Beast Boy nearly lost it, and turned to see if Raven was watching. Sure enough, she had an amused face, and lifting her hood up covering her smirk. The amusement still shone in her eyes though, her beautiful purple eyes.

"You're Perfume? I put on My Cologne!" Robin said back, starting to get frustrated. Beast Boy and Cyborg made eye contact; both had to try harder not to break laughing. However, realization struck Robin and Beast Boy knew it. He wheeled around at the green Titan and yelled "Beast Boy!"

Cyborg caved and his laughter filled the room.

"Dude, it wasn't me, Cyborg told me he put Star's perfume in one of your cologne bottles!" Beast Boy yelled back, pretending to be upset and pointing at the roaring Cyborg.

"Say What?" Cyborg said back, a second before Robin tackled him onto the floor into an intense but affectionate wrestling brawl. Beast Boy seized his opportunity and ran from the couch before they noticed and grabbed Raven by the hand, who at this point had started to giggle lightly. Beast Boy led her out the door of the common room and down the hallway towards their rooms.

"Where are we going?" asked Raven, still smiling at what had just occurred.

"You'll see; I have to show you something!" Beast Boy practically called back, still running and clutching her soft hand. Beast Boy halted outside the door labeled "Raven", and just smiled at the beauty. Raven stood confused for a few seconds before slowly stepping up to her door, with an expression that said "….right". Beast Boy nodded his head, nervous but excited at what would await. Raven pushed the button and the door slid open, revealing her dark room. Raven psychically lit her candles which illuminated the room more than one would think, and they walked in, Beast Boy behind her and really feeling the nausea in his stomach now from his nervousness.

Raven looked around her room, and her eye was caught by the object on her bed. Little did she know, Beast Boy placed this on her bed when he said he was going to the bathroom during breakfast. As she got closer, she realized it was a neatly wrapped present, and not only one, but two; tied together with a lace and complete with a bow on top. She felt her heart start to race, and felt her face get hot with many different emotions. From behind Beast Boy was now literally sweating, his hand scratching the back of his neck as she picked up the card and began to read in her head;

Dear Raven

I have two gifts I bought you that I hope you will like and enjoy immensely. I figured it was a nice thing to do, and you deserve it. You are a great person, and you are a great friend. I have developed very strong feelings for you, and I have grown to realize how great you are Raven. I must confess I have always had a small crush on you from the beginning, but these past months it has developed. Raven, I think you are gorgeous, and I can't express my feelings for you in words. Please open your gifts now and enjoy

If Raven was a bit red before, it was nothing to how she was now. She was very hot in the face and couldn't bear turn around. She was indeed flattered, and very surprised, but she couldn't deny that it was a pleasant surprise. She reached for the gifts, separated them while admiring the neat wrapping and began to un-wrap the top gift. Beast Boy was now sweating bullets, and was more nervous than he had ever been in his life.

Why didn't she look back? Is that a good sign, or a bad sign? At least she didn't kill me! That's a good sign at least he thought to himself, still standing right inside the doorway, hands behind his back now.

Raven had just uncovered the Ginseng Oolong tea, and this was a very big astonishment to her, she didn't figure Beast Boy was capable of a gift so personal to her. She was thrilled, and looked closely at the bag. It had 32 tea bags in it, and the price tag had been ripped off. This impressed her even more, perhaps it was expensive. It showed that he cared even more about her nevertheless. She began to open the anthology, and when she saw what it was she gave an audible gasp. This caused Beast Boy to smile and do an "amused harder than normal exhale" (A/N do you know what I'm talking about?)

She didn't know what to do or say. She never knew he could be so thoughtful, and she was so full of emotions she felt she was gonna burst. It's a good thing she had meditated so much yesterday, otherwise she may have exploded. She was nervous, scared, confused, flattered, thrilled, excited, and happy. She couldn't wait to listen to all their albums and explore all their different, undetermined genre albums. Nevertheless she couldn't stand there forever, musing about all her feelings. Beast Boy was waiting, and she gathered all her might to turn around and face him, aware of the deep flush on her cheeks. She couldn't however, look him in the eyes when she spoke.

"Beast Boy….thank you s-so much…..I-I don't know what to say" she said, stuttering twice and embarrassed at that. Beast Boy thought this was very cute, and for some reason it built up his confidence because he knew it meant she was nervous too, which meant that she had to like him back.

"Well you could say yes" he said to her, as she finally looked him in the eyes. His mouth was bone dry, and his spit was thick.

"Why?" she asked, somewhat in between a whisper and her normal tone. Beast Boy gulped, feeling like that made his mouth only drier.

"Because I'm about to ask you on a date" he said back, trying to sound romantic but failing miserably. Ravens heart skipped a beat, this was all a totally new experience for her and she was out of her comfort zone.

"I….I-I uh…."

"All you have to do is say yes or no Rae" Beast Boy said, really wanting to get out of this as soon as he could and end his nausea. Raven remained speechless for seconds on end.

Perhaps she's just shocked and doesn't know how to answer Beast Boy thought.

"Ok answer this; do you have any feelings for me as more than just a friend?" he said, hoping against hope she would say yes. After several heat-filled seconds, she nodded her head a few times and blushed harder. Beast Boys heart skipped a beat, and he smiled, confident that he was reeling her in now.

"Raven, would you like to be my girlfriend?" he asked her politely. What were seconds felt like an eternity to Beast Boy. Ravens mind seemed to be whirring; Beast Boy could tell she was deep in thought. At the conclusion of her thought, she dawned upon the restriction of meditation.

If I go out with Beast Boy, I would need to meditate nearly twice as much to keep my emotions under control. Perhaps if I do he could meditate with me, then it wouldn't be so bad. But do I like him enough to sacrifice that much time? Yes I do.

"Yes" She said shyly but firmly to Beast Boy, who gasped loudly and almost fainted.

"Really!?" He yelled, so happy he couldn't contain himself. Raven chuckled slightly.

"Mhm" she nodded, with a sweet little smile.

Beast Boy walked up to her, and wrapped his arms around her nice curvy waist. It was a nice thought that the girl he was hugging was all his now. He felt her arms find their way over his shoulders, embracing the two in a long and emotion filled hug. How he wished he could just hold her tight forever and never let go.

She pulled away after about 20 seconds and looked into eyes, which were a bit higher than hers.

"Thank you for the gifts Beast Boy, I really love them and can't wait to use them."

Beast Boy noticed that her eyes were gleaming. He took her hands in his, and both beamed at eachother.

"Rae, it was a greater pleasure for me" he said romantically, and she saw the rare twinkle in his eyes. Raven positively glowed, she hugged him this time, and the two remained in each other's arms, until they eventually separated and Beast Boy headed towards the door. He turned around as her door swung open.

"Thanks Rae" he said, grinning and happily, before he walked out the doorway and out of sight down the hallway. Raven smiled at the afterthought of what had just happened, and knew she needed to pay the price and meditate. Beast Boy practically skipped down the hallway, whistling and as proud as could be. He couldn't possibly plan for the surprise ambush Cyborg and Robin planned for as he walked through the doorway of the common room and found himself splattered in the face with two pies.
