It was tense between them. Just hours ago, Beast Boy had learned the full truth about Raven, and his mind was sent reeling with questions.
Questions like: What would Steve and Rita think if they found out I like a half-demon? Do I even care what they would say? Is Raven really going to die soon? How can I prevent this?
It was all a mess of emotions and confusion on his end. He looked towards Raven. They'd been sitting in silence for the past half hour. He could tell that she was practically crying, and doing her best to not show it. He wished he knew what to say.
Beast Boy didn't need to say anything, because Raven broke the silence first.
"So, now you know why I can't be with you." She stated. It was a statement of fact. Nothing more, nothing less.
"I guess I do. You're really going to die soon?"
She nodded.
"I won't accept that. There has to be a way to save you."
"We can try, but don't get your hopes up. This is why I wish you would move on."
"Raven, I can't do that. Besides, that would be unfair to you. Have you moved on from me?"
She looked solemn, "No, I haven't."
"Then I'm not doing that to you. Promise me one thing?"
"What?"
"If we survive, will you go out with me?"
He noticed the tears before anything else. She barely whispered out, "Yes," before she seemed to break down in front of him.
Beast Boy moved to comfort her. Wrapping her up in his arms, and stroking her arm with his hand.
"Beast Boy?"
He responded by gripping tighter.
"Can I kiss you?"
He nodded, and immediately felt her lips against his own.
The rest of this story will be put up next Sunday and will cover from here up until Trouble in Tokyo. And yes, skipping over Troq was intentional, as is skipping over Overdrive next week. Maybe I'll revisit them later and add them in, but for now, I really could not think of any way to relate those two episodes to anything involving Beast Boy and Raven's relationship.
