Once in her room, Raven sat down on the bed. her book was closed, it slipped through her open fingers and landed with a thud on the floor. She had just been kissed. By the boy she loved, though had always refused to admit it. Enough. She needed to control her emotions. There was only one way she knew how to do that. Levitating a foot off her bed, Raven began to meditate.

Azarath.

Why had that just happened?

Metrion.

Did an alien take over Beastboy's body? No, scratch that-he was an alien.

Zinthos.

Why her? Why did she love an annoying idiot?

The empath continued to meditate, attempting to block out her emotions. Meanwhile, in Ops...

"What did you do that for?" Beastboy demanded. Cyborg shrugged.

"You refused to make a move," he pointed out sensibly. "I was just helping the proccess along."

Beastboy stopped, at a loss for words. It was true. He hadn't made a move. And now it was probably much too late. He saw the look on her face. He saw the way she walked off. She probably hated his guts for it, even though it wasn't his fault. Why did it have to be him? Why did he love a girl that was so different than he was?

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Starfire and Robin were talking in Starfire's room.

"Do you think the plan has succeeded?" Starfire asked after a while.

"I don't know, Star. Maybe we should go check it out," The boy wonder made to gt up, but Starfire pushed him back down.

"No!" she herself was surprised at the ferocity in her voice. "We cannot go see if the plan has succeeded, for then Beastboy and Raven will cease to be our friends!"

Robin nodded. Starfire was probably right. He knew everything about being a leader, but she knew more about matters of the heart than he ever would. On a sudden impulse, he reached up and grabbed her chin, then leaned in for a passionate kiss, which she responded with equally.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Why me? My emotions have to be controlled. But I can't help it. I love him.

Why me? She doesn't even like jokes. But I can't help it. I love her.

The two confused teenagers sat in their seperate rooms, each thinking about the other.


I have a reviewer who urged me to continue, so I did! Be warned, this will contain more pairings than just Raven/Beastboy and Robin/Starfire, though it will be mostly focused on Raven and Beastboy.

Read and review! Please?
