Chapter 2
Raven followed the group from the airport out into the ‘city.’ “This is a city?” she asked.
Beast Boy looked at her. “More like a town.” he pointed to a van with four people surrounding it. “That’s my family.”
As they approached, Raven noticed that they looked completely normal, no trace of powers among them. Slightly confused, they stopped as the people embraced Beast Boy.
“Son, were so glad your home.” said the woman. “I am Linda. This is my husband Paul and my other children, Rebecca and Josh.” she said, pointing out each of the members as she named them off.
Beast boy made his own introductions. “This is cyborg,” who nodded to the group in front of them. “Robin.”
“Hello, nice to meet you.”
“Starfire.”
“It is a pleasure to meet Beast Boys family.” she said, shaking hands with Linda enthusiastically.
“And this is Raven.” he said finally placing a hand on her shoulder.
Raven stood looking at his family. After a moment she nodded like Cyborg had and adverted her eyes from the woman in front of her.
Linda didn’t seem to mind Ravens behavior and ushered her family and guests into the van. Linda and Paul were sitting in the front with Rebecca and Josh behind them.
Cyborg, Robin and Starfire sat in the middle. Raven and Beast Boy took the back which seemed to be fine for BB.
After several moments of watching him fidget, Raven looked at him, voice lowered. “Are you alright?”
Looking back at her he nodded. “Just nervous.”
Raven gave him a rare smile. “Don’t worry about it.”
Linda, who was driving noticed this between the two titans. Even though she couldn’t hear them, they gave off the impression of close friends. ‘Too close.’ she thought. ‘Oh well, I still gave my promise to Exano and Sakura.’ her thoughts turned back to the road as they neared the house.
~*~
“That was great mom.” beast boy said after dinner. He belched loudly and immediately covered his mouth. The other Titans laughed and Linda chuckled softly. They were ushered into the living room where they sat around, taking about past adventures and random stuff.
“You should see Raven here.” Beast Boy laughed, slightly red from laughing so much. “When she got scared, she had a monster from the movie attacking all of us. It was fun though. I like a good scare.”
Raven, who’s hood was up, blushed slightly. The cup Beast boy was holding broke and he jumped in surprise. Eyes wide, Raven went immediately to his side and healed the cuts that had formed on his hands. “Sorry.” she muttered as she sat back down, not looking at anyone.
Beast boy picked up the pieces of glass and threw them away. He patted Ravens back as he walked back to his seat. “Don’t worry about it.”
Linda’s eyes wandered back and forth between the two. “What just happened?”
Raven didn’t look at her but Beast Boy helped out. “I squeezed too hard.” he said simply.
Linda frowned. “I don’t like being lied to.” she said in a low voice.
Beast boy stiffened. “Uh... it was nothing. We all lose our control sometime.” He waved the question away and turned to Paul, talking once more with him about the horses they were raising.
Linda glared at Raven who felt an immediate discomfort. “Um... BB?” she said quietly. “May I go outside?” she asked when he looked at her.
Beast boy looked at Paul who nodded. “Just beware of wild bears.” he joked
.
Raven forced as smile. “I deal with that all the time” she said, gesturing to Beast Boy who grinned like a fool. She got up headed out to the huge backyard, a fence closed off one area where the horses grazed. She walked over to the wooden fence and held out one of her hands, beckoning the closest horse who came over and nibbled at her fingers with its lips. She smiled and started to wander around the yard.
Finding a dry spot, she laid down and stared at the sky. She wasn’t sure how long she laid there but suddenly Beast Boys face appeared over head.
“Having fun?” he asked, laying down next to her.
“It so quiet and clean out here.” she said, “You can see the stars.” she gestured to the clear dark sky above littered with sparkling diamonds.
Beast boy smiled. “I know, that’s why I like it here.” he closed his eyes for a moment, drawing in a deep breath. When he opened them again, he sat up and looked at Raven. A song came from the neighbors down below them on the hill. He smiled and got to his feet. Facing Raven, he held out his hand.
“Wanna dance?”
Raven shook her head. “I might blow something up.” she added in a quiet tone.
Beast boy smiled. “There’s nothing around to blow up, come on, please Rave?”
Hesitantly, she accepted his hand and he pulled her up. The song was louder than before. He wrapped his arms around her waist and started dancing slowly.
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I wont let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
Raven smiled slightly, afraid that something might happen but when nothing did, she relaxed slightly and examined Beast Boy in the moon light. He was even cuter than she remembered.
I know that you are something special
To you I'd be always faithful
I want to be what you always needed
Then I hope you'll see the heart in me
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I wont let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
Beast boy pulled her slightly closer as a gust of wind blew through, chilling him to the bones. Raven blushed and looked away from him, not able to come face to face with the guy she liked.
Your beautiful soul, yeah
You might need time to think it over
But im just fine moving forward
I'll ease your mind
If you give me the chance
I will never make you cry c`mon lets try
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I wont let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
Beast boy closed the gap that remained between them. Ravens first instinct was to pull away but the warmth of his arms was inviting. She leaned her head on his shoulder and sighed. Beast boy blushed but held her tighter.
Am I crazy for wanting you
Baby do you think you could want me too
I don't wanna waste your time
Do you see things the way I do
I just wanna know if you feel it too
There is nothing left to hide
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I wont let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
Your beautiful soul, yeah
The song faded but Beast Boy didn’t want to let go. He continued to hold Raven tight in his arms.
She sighed, not wanting it to end but she knew it must. The Gods only knew how many things she blew up while dancing with him. She started to pull back but stopped when she saw the look in his emerald eyes.
For a breathless moment, they stood, staring at each other. Before either knew what was happening, the remaining space between them closed and their lips touched.
Ravens first thought was that something was going to blow up, a light, anything. Her next thought was how happy she was and how good it felt to have his lips against hers. She leaned against him, completely lost in the bliss of the moment. Soon, too soon in Ravens opinion, he pulled away, leaving them both breathless and silent.
Raven gazed into his eyes, wondering if what had just happened was real or if she had just caused a major blackout somewhere. When he chuckled she frowned, bewildered.
“What’s so funny?”
Beast Boy pulled her body close against his and rested his head against hers. “Nothing, you just looked like you were waiting for me to blow up or something.”
Raven smiled and cuddled close to him. “I was kinda scared that you would.” she admitted quietly.
Beast boy smiled. “You didn’t mind me... kissing you, did you?” he asked in a low voice.
Raven paused for a moment then shook her head. “No, I would never mind.”
Beast boy pulled her tighter against his body. After a few moments he sighed. “We should go back in.”
Raven nodded. “Just don’t touch me or I might blow up the house.” she said, eyes shining.
He wrapped an arm around her waist as they headed for the house. “You know, if you let your emotions out once in a while, I doubt that things would explode. You know, from being used so much, you might get used to it and it wouldn’t be a sudden ‘explosion’ of emotions.”
Raven stopped, contemplating this. “Beast boy, sometimes it amazes me that you actually use your brain once in a while.” she teased.
Beast boy grinned and held her closer. They walked back into the house wand back into the living room. When the other Titans saw the couple, they stopped and stared. Star started fidgeting, looking nervously from Beast Boy and a girl that stood beside his mother.
Beast boy frowned. “Who’s that?” he asked pointing.
“Its rude to point dear.” Linda said. “But this is Sakura. Don’t you remember her?”
Beast Boy shook his head and beside him, Raven felt her stomach drop. A vase nearby broke and BB tightened his grip on her.
Linda smiled. “She’s your fiancee. It was arranged when you were both little.”
Beast Boy’s arm dropped from Ravens side in shock. “Fi...fiancee??”
The last thing Raven remembered was looking at Beast Boy, tears welling up in her eyes, before all the lights in the house burst and everything went dark.
