Raven's Birthday had finally come. Robin had left the night before, heading to Gotham to visit his old mentor. Starfire had decided to go along with Robin, claiming "This would be a glorious chance to meet your Knorfka Robin!" That left Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Raven in the tower.
(Raven's POV)
I walked over to the stove, deciding to make some tea. I chose Black tea instead of herbal tea. It's getting close to Halloween and this seems to fit. I waited for my tea kettle to whistle when I noticed how quiet the tower was. This seemed very odd considering this would be one of the days when Beast Boy would try to get me to do something crazy. Let me think. Cyborg is in the garage, he told me that earlier. This means that Beast Boy is probably still asleep.
The kettle started going off, snapping me out of my thoughts. I placed the teabag in my mug and poured the water approximately ¾ of an inch away from the brim of my mug. I let the teabag seep for about two minutes then proceeded to the couch. I took a sip of my tea and picked up my book 'Edgar Allen Poe's Tales Of Death and Dementia' It's a really good book, I just wish it had the poem 'The Raven' in it. I chuckled at the thought of a poem about love and death having the same name as me.
"How Ironic. The poem is slightly about love, yet im destined never to find it." At this moment the power in the tower decided to go out, leaving me in complete darkness. "Great. Now I cant even read. Cyborg! Can you turn the-ouch- power back on?! I cant see anything!" I tried to maneuver my way through the common room in complete darkness, which resulted in multiple stubbed toes, two bruises to my left elbow, and a painful bang to the head. I had finally made it to the door when the power came back on.
"You couldn't have turned back on sooner?" I muttered under my breath. When I turned around I was surprised to see Cyrborg and Beast Boy standing there. Cyborg held a simple two layer cake, and Beast Boy held various packages.
"Happy birthday Raven! I made my famous eight layer cake. But with only two layers!" Cyborg held a piece out to me and I carefully took it. Flashing a (very) quick smile, I thanked him. "Hey Rae! Happy Birthday! Hey I just noticed maybe! You just turned into a young lady!"
I looked at him, raising my eyebrow at his failed attempt at rapping
"Thanks Beast Boy. I think." We sat on the couch and ate Cyborg's cake. At some point during this time, Cyborg and Beast Boy started a food fight with the cake. That is, until I used my powers and threw them out the window with the cake. Needless to say I won the food fight. After they managed to dry off from their little flight out the window into the bay, they started handing me my gifts. I received various gifts from fans, such as Evanescence CD's, books, ring boxes with attached notes asking 'Would you Marry Me?'. Titans East sent over a gift basket filled with candles, incense, meditation CD's. It was really cool I guess
Cyborg gave me two tickets to see 'Kuroshitsuji: The musical'. I don't really like musicals but this one seems promising. Beast Boy went last. He seemed a little nervous for some reason.
(Beast Boy's POV)
'Will she like it? Will she hate it? Will she hate me for giving it to her?' I nervously handed her the small box containing the brooch the magical woman had let me have. Raven started opening the box. I squeezed my eyes shut. Waiting for the inevitable to come. Waiting for the kick, slap, punch. But they never came. I opened my eyes and she was staring at me. No emotions playing on her face. No smile, no frown, no tears, NOTHING! I couldn't take it!
"So what do you think Raven? Is it ok? If its not then I could get you something else! Please don't hate me!"
"Beast Boy! Calm down. I really like it. It's perfect."
I looked at her. She was giving me a small smile! She really does like it! I started smiling and was about to give her a hug when she gave me that 'look'. I backed away from her, sitting back down.
"There is one thing I would like to know though. Why did you get it for me?"
I looked at her thinking. I knew she would ask something like this. How can I tell her THAT? What? Am I going to look her right in the eyes and say
"The amethyst was really pretty. It reminded me of your eyes. It was originally a necklace but I knew you didn't like that stuff. So yeah." She stared at me for a good two minutes I would say. I was starting to wonder if she was ok. I waved my hand in front of her face and she snapped out of it.
"Did you just say the amethyst was really pretty? Like my eyes? Did you just call my eyes pretty?"
"Um, Yeah. I guess I did." I wasn't liking where this was going. She probably thinks I'm and idiot. I knew it! I should have used another word besides 'Pretty'. something like, like, beautiful! Whoa, stop! Beautiful? Jeez I must be going crazy!.
"Thanks Beast Boy. That was, nice." She got up and left the common room. Did she really mean it? Or was she upset I said something like that? I looked up and realized that Cyborg had been there the whole time. He said he was going back to the garage and then left. As I was left there alone, all I could think was 'What did I do wrong?'
