R&R por favor! I have an abnormal obsession with N. If you play Pkemon Black & White, you know who I'm talking about. Jeez. What's with me and obsessing over guys with green hair? Bad Natalie. Bad. By the way (someone pointed this out to me): Sorry for keeping you guys waiting so long for the actual BbxRae-ness. So, here it goes.
oOo
Here we go again
I kinda wanna be more than friends
So take it easy on me
I'm afraid
You're never satisfied
Here we go again
We're sick like animals
We play pretend
You're just
A cannibal
And I'm afraid
I won't get out alive
I won't sleep tonight
oOo
"Raven! Open the door!" Beast Boy shouted, pounding his fists against Raven's door. There was no response from the enchantress and Beast Boy sighed. He went through all this trouble to get her a gift and he refused to let it go to waste. The green changeling stormed downstairs, where Starfire was sitting on the couch watching television.
"Starfire! Can you get Raven to open up the door?" Beast Boy said, pointing to the stairs. She seemed to contemplate it carefully before nodding slowly. With that, she flew from the couch to Raven's door, Beast Boy on her heels. Hesitating only slightly, the red headed extra terrestrial knocked three times on the door.
"It is I, friend Raven!" Starfire said, knocking again.
"Is Beast Boy with a you?" Raven's voice said.
"No." Starfire replied smoothly. Beast Boy heard a sigh and the shuffling of papers. Knowing that Raven would open the door, he shoved Starfire out of the way and morphed into a puppy, holding the case with the necklace in his mouth.
"What did you...STARFIRE!" Raven exclaimed, once she saw Beast Boy at her door. Giving her his best pouting, innocent face, she sighed- no one could resist that face, not even the cold hearted Raven.
"I'm gonna regret this but...what do you want?" Raven sighed. Beast Boy morphed back into a human and handed Raven the box, a pleasant smile on his face. She gave him a curious glance, but he motioned for her to open it. Carefully peeling away the ribbon, she slid open the box to find one of the most beautifulest necklaces she had ever seen. Without her realizing it, a small smile spread across her pale face.
"Wow. Thank you." Raven said, a light blush spreading across her faces.
"That's not all though. Get changed and meet me downstairs." Beast Boy said, winking. It sent a chill down Raven's spine and she continued to stare at the door frame, even though Beast had long since ran toward his room. What just happened? Did he just wink at her? And what's with the necklace. Shaking the thoughts away and herself from a trance, she closed the door and shuffled through her drawers. Not sure of what Beast Boy had in mind, she pulled out dark green skinny cargo pants, a loose burgundy tank top with an owl on it and black sandals. After getting changed into her clothes, she ran her fingers through her hair, making sure it looked normal. Checking over her appearance one last time in the mirror, she nodded and phased through the door. Raven floated down to the landing of the stairs, where Beast Boy was sitting on the couch. He had on khakis, a white shirt and green sneakers. Once Beast Boy saw Raven descending from the staircase, he smiled and leaped up from the couch, a brand new wrist watch on his arm.
"Ready to go?"
"Where?" Raven asked curiously, walking over to Beast Boy.
"That's a surprise."
"That last time you 'surprised' me, we ended up waiting four hours for a tow truck on a desolate road." Raven said flatly.
"Will you have faith in me? Please?" Beast Boy sighed, slapping his forehead.
"Sorry." Raven said earnestly.
"I guess it's fine. Let's just get going." Beast Boy said, regaining his happiness. Raven felt a strange feeling in the very bottom on her heart. It beat just slightly faster and she had no desire to send back a witty remark. Instead, she followed him to the newly fixed car. Raven slid into the passenger seat while Beast Boy turned the key into ignition.
"So, are you gonna tell me where you're bringing me?" Raven said, as Beast Boy backed out of the drive way. To that, Beast Boy grinned.
"Nope." he said simply, speeding down the road.
"Sometimes, you're just as stubborn as I am." Raven sighed, a small smile etched on her face.
"That's what makes you adorable!" Beast Boy said, smiling happily. Raven's jaw dropped and a shocked expression crossed her face. Adorable? When did all of this happen?
"Adorable?"
"Adorable." Beast Boy concluded, a broad smile on his face.
"And when did all of this happen?"
"When we get there, I'll tell you." Beast Boy said calmly. Annoyance began to paw at Raven, who wanted to know exactly what was going on now. After a ten more agonizing minutes, they arrived at a secluded spot near the water. Raven was still puzzled as Beast Boy offered to open the door to the car for her.
"Um, it's okay. I got it." Raven said, still creeped out by Beast Boy's behavior. Once she emerged from the car, Beast Boy grabbed her hand and ran at full speed toward the spot near the water. Raven had to ran just to keep up with the speed demon, whom still had a big smile plastered across his face. Finally, they reached a flat, stony area, a classic picnic blanket spread across the ground. Raven still had a puzzled look on her face as Beast Boy sat her down on the blanket. In his left hand was a basket that Raven hadn't even noticed he had. With that, she opened it up and put a portion of food on two plates.
"Okay. Beast Boy. Explain." Raven said, as Beast Boy hummed a tune.
"So remember what you said about us being friends?" Beast Boy said, practically buzzing.
"Vaguely."
"So, I was talking to this old woman at the place I got you that necklace and she made me realize something..." Beast Boy began, now staring off at the distance. He had a star crossed look on his face and a goofy grin that fit him so well.
"Well...?" Raven said, wanting to hear what he had to say.
"Wellllll, I realized that...I kinda wanna be more than friends." Beast Boy rushed out. Raven's eyes widened and her heart beat sped up tenfold. A tree began to uproot itself and was sent splashing into the big blue. The waves picked up and crashed violently against the shore, spraying the two teens with salt water. A million things raced through Raven's mind at once. For starters, one being "WHAT THE FUCKING HELL?" Did she have feelings for Beast Boy too? Did she want to be more than friends? Is that who Cisma was talking about? At first, she tried convincing herself that he was being ridiculous...she didn't like him and she would never like, especially in that way. But then...then she remembered how much time she was spending with him lately, and how nice he was being. And how he was the only one able to make her smile or give a tiny laugh. How he brightened her day and made her special when he told her one of his lame jokes. And then she realized...she wanted the same thing as Beast Boy.
Uh. Well. That's good...because I kinda do too." Raven said softly, refusing to look at the green teenager.
O.O
Yeah. Sorry for the cliffhanger. Sorry if they were a little out of character...I've been playing Pokemon Black all day and I'm starting to really like
the NxHilda pairing, or as everyone calls it, ferriswheelshipping Gah. I'm such a fucking nerd. And sorry for it being short.
Firelily95: I've got an OC too! I just don't write the story cuz people don't tend to like OCs... Yeah, Cartoon Network is a dick about their shows. Watch Adventure Time be canceled next season for some new live action sucky show. Anywho, thanks for the review!
Angelic Toaster: Thank you very much. Unfortunately it's just a regular ol' necklace, cuz I'm not that much of a creative genius. Honestly, I han't even though of that. Therapy's for my anxiety and apprently, 6 months are required for me to leave. What sucks more is that it's group therapy.
Poison Lynn: Yeah, I know, I do that a lot. It's weird. I think my brain gets confused. I suppose to a naïve person like Raven or Beast Boy, it is cryptic.
Erra Fawkes13: Nope. No cursed necklace. Sorry, that would've been interesting but...I already wrote this chapter out, and then that would be another subplot. Or the Optimistic Pessimist.
Angel of Energy: WHAAA? You don't like Adventure Time? Welp...moving on. I watch it on toonsurfer all the time! I'm glad people put up the episodes, cuz I'm not paying 40 bucks for all the seasons. Cuz I don't have 40 bucks. Sorry, no mystical powers :(
Littlemissfg: ^^^^^ Indeed he does :) Thanks for the review!
Justafan: So sorry. You see, in my first story, I felt like I made them fall in love way too fast, so I tried extending it longer in this one. Sorry about that! Thanks for pointing that out!
The Cretin: Kind of both. I like how she has much more powers in the comics (a power that could've especially been powerful in Trouble in Tokyo, mind you) I dunno, I really like the show and the comics, so I tend to blend them together and see what'd I get. The BBRae shrine creeps me out, because I was strolling by the episode guide and I swear I saw something along the lines of "he looked at her in a certain way and that means they secretly love each other!" ...yeah, they over analyze things, and this coming from a rabid BbxRae fan.
