Chapter 2: The calm before the storm.
After kissing for the first time, they both agreed to keep it a secret from the others, at least for a couple months. When I say they BOTH agreed I really mean Raven wanted and Beast Boy agreed, but what he really wanted was to scream to the entire world that he was dating Raven.
The first couple of days were… pretty awkward, to say the least. Trying to find a moment alone and not raise suspicions wasn't as easy as you might think. Also, neither of them had too much experience in the dating business. Beast Boy had only gone out on one date and Raven had never had a boyfriend before.
Luckily, Beast Boy thought of an idea before they gave up. On the third day after kissing, at 6:30 AM, he knocked at Raven's room door.
"Beast Boy, is something wrong?" She asked as she opened the door surprised to see his boyfriend awake so early.
"No, I mean… I've been thinking… You always wake up at 6:00 AM right?" She nodded. She had always slept less then others, meditating made her restore energy that didn't need to be restored while sleeping. "So I thought why not hang out from 6:00 to 8:00, when Cyborg wakes up, alone and then act like nothing ever happened."
As much as Raven wanted to be alone with Beast Boy she had no other option but to say: "Beast Boy, we can't risk somebody waking up a bit earlier and catching us."
"Oh, I know, but what if we hang out outside of the tower?" He asked with an evil grin on his face.
"What do you mean…?" She asked, not really understanding where he was going with this.
"Okay… just follow me." He whispered as he grabbed her and headed towards the living room.
Before they got to the living room she said: "But what if they ask where we were?"
"We'll tell them we were at are rooms, sleeping." They kept walking until they reached the living room and stopped in front of the window. "Follow me." He said as he transformed in to a falcon and flew through the window. Raven sighed but finally decided to follow him.
They flew towards the mountain and landed softly in an open area with a small lake. There were plenty of forest animals that got surprised at their arrival and got prepared to run if they got any closer.
"Beast Boy wha-" She tried to ask, but Beast Boy 'shushed' her before she could finish. He transformed in to a rabbit and got close to the animals. Raven just stared confused what looked like a green rabbit talking to deer's and fox's and such.
He later transformed back in to a human and said: "It's okay, you can come closer now." He waved at Raven to get close to the animals. To her surprise they just stood there, letting her pet them.
"Pretty cool, huh?" He said proudly.
"Yeah…" She was still amazed, even a bear was letting them get close, Beast Boy even hugged it.
"What you think? We can meet at 6:00, fly over here and just hang out for a couple of hours the two of us, alone… well, not alone, but…" He said with a smile, hoping she thought it was a good idea, and she did. For the next two weeks they flew over there every morning and did lots of stuff together: Watch the sunrise, read, go for walks… they even jumped in the lake once or twice. Raven had never been so happy, or so in love for that matter. And love can make you do things she never thought she would…
"Come on Raven, tell me what my surprise is!" Beast Boy whined while wearing a blindfold.
"Okay, were here." She said. As he took his blindfold off, he heard a door open. When I finally could see he noticed it was Raven's room.
"Um… Raven? Isn't this your room?" He asked confused.
She nodded and said: "I'm giving you free access to my room, as long as nobody sees you come in." She said with a smile.
Beast Boy was shocked: "You mean so we can…"
"No." She cut him off with her usual monotone voice.
"But you don't know what I was going to say."
"I know exactly what you were going to say." She said while she raised an eyebrow.
"…" He said nothing but he thought: 'yep she knows exactly what I was going to say.'
"These last two weeks have been amazing Beast Boy, and I wanted to give you something in return. You let me inside part of your world; I just wanted to do the same." She said kinda embarrassed, she wasn't used to these type of things.
It was then that Beast Boy understood the importance of what she had just given him. He changed his confused expression to a smile and said: "Cool." And stared at the room for a while. "Oh, what about that freaky mirror or other stuff that may send me to another dimension."
"Don't worry, I've hidden most of the important stuff."
For the next week and half they alternated going to the forest and to Raven's room. The last few days, Beast Boy would wake up in the middle of the night and go to Raven's room to sleep next to her, he even brought some of his stuff from his room to Raven's room, THAT'S HOW GOOD THINGS WERE GOING!. Raven was living one of her best months ever and…
"MOM!" Paine interrupted Raven's story. "You're suppose to tell me how Dad got jealous, not make me more miserable." Hearing how good things had gone for them reminded her of Oscar and her, and how things weren't so good right now.
"I'm sorry. It's just… I wanted to make sure you knew this argument wasn't one of those that could have happened at the beginning because we were opposites and such. Our first month or so had been amazing, until one day…"
"MY ROOM!" Beast Boy screamed at a huge hole where his room used to be. Control Freak had gotten inside the tower and attacked them without them being warned. It took them a while to capture him, but in the end they managed to with no harm done… well not entirely. "ALL MY STUFF IS GONE!" He cried.
"I am sorry for the loss of your room, my friend." Starfire said.
"At least nobody got hurt." Robin tried to cheer him up.
"Look at the bright side, your room hasn't been this clean ever." Cyborg joked but got zero laughs, Beast Boy just sighed. Beast Boy really looked down and Raven hated to see him like that, she had to cheer him. It was the least she could do, she loved him (and love makes you do stupid stuff, and stupid mistakes).
"Don't worry Beast Boy, I'm sure we can rebuild it soon enough." She put her hand on his shoulder, but didn't seem to make him feel better. "Besides, most of your stuff is in my room, remem-" She stopped, realizing what she had just done. Beast Boy looked at her in shock, with his eyes wide open. They both turned around to see if the others had heard it… they had.
Oops, it slipped! Poor Raven and Beast Boy. Love makes you do the stupidest mistakes sometimes.
