Aishiteru

Raven got up that morning and sighed. This was a normal habit for the empathy, as she did it on regular occasions. She put on her usual uniform and went into the living room/kitchen. Normal. She sat down and drank her herbal tea. Normal. She looked up at her fellow teammates. Normal. Her gaze lingered on Beast Boy. Nor- NOT normal.

Stupid emotions, Raven thought angrily. Ever since she had become better with control of her emotions, they had become wilder. Love and Happiness had been frequent visitors when Beast Boy was near her.

She felt the need to be angry at him. But she couldn't. She couldn't be angry at Beast Boy. WHY NOT?

And Starfire, with her stupid alien ways of knowing, had found out what even Raven had not known. That the resident Dark Goddess liked Beast Boy. One might go as far as to say she loved him.

And Raven, being Raven, had denied it. HOW could she love something like that? With his unusual colored skin, his annoying jokes, his pointy ears, his wide open eyes and his slightly adorable flirting.

Ugh…

She did like him. How could she allow something like this to happen? How?

OOOO

"You must tell him! It is the only way for him to know about your true feelings for him!"

Starfire's pleading and yet excited voice cut through the air. They were sitting in Raven's room, since the empathy did not want to go into Starfire's purple/pink/blue room, as the softly colored room was not her favorite place. Raven rolled her eyes and blushed slightly.

"Yeah, and you've done the same for Robin."

Starfire opened and closed her mouth like a goldfish out of water.

"That is…um…I will inform him…that is not the subject under discussion!"

Star sat down with a little pout and tapped her chin thoughtfully. She frowned and then grinned at Raven, smiling a slightly mischievous smile.

"You will tell him. You must. Or…I will tell him for you! And then we will see what happens."

Raven glared at the girl, who simply smiled sweetly back at her. The empathy sighed and her shoulders slumped.

"Alright, I'll tell him I like him. But will you leave me alone?"

Starfire nodded gleefully, before laughing at the girl.

OOOO

Raven grinned as Starfire left. Oh, she'd tell him alright. She'd tell him…

Raven left the room and headed for the living room/kitchen. She walked in to see Beast Boy and Cyborg playing the Game Station. She marched right up to Beast Boy, grabbed his elf-like ear, and pulled him out, ignoring his squeals.

Cyborg blinked for a moment, before turning to Robin, and blinking again.

Robin shrugged his shoulders and turned to the grinning Starfire, who had just entered and sat down next to Robin.

"You will see soon, friends. Very soon…we will have two happy Titans or one dead one."

OOOO

Raven pulled Beast Boy by the hand for a moment, into the farthest hallway away from the living room. She had let go of his ear a long time ago, and instead grabbed his hand and led him.

His annoying yells were ignored.

She turned around to face him, her lips curving at his confused face.

"Aishiteru," she said clearly and straight to him. Beast Boy, being the idiot he was, wouldn't understand that that meant "I love you" in Japanese. She began to walk down the hall. She hadn't endangered herself, and Starfire was going to leave her alone. Everyone won!

"You do?"

Beast Boy's whispered words stopped her and she very slowly turned around.

"Pardon?" she asked, her eyebrows raised.

He walked slowly and hesitantly towards her. She froze in place.

"I asked you if you meant what you said when you said 'aishiteru'. Do you?"

Raven blinked at him. 'How the…how does he know what aishiteru means? Oh, God, that…means…

"You know what aishiteru means?"

He scowled for a moment before nodding.

"I do have a brain. And I do read. I'm not an idiot. And you're avoiding the subject."

Raven almost grinned. She seemed to be avoiding the subject a lot lately, especially when Beast Boy was the subject.

"I…I don't…I mean…know…what…"

That's good Raven. Babble incoherently and he'll understand…wonderful.

"Because…aishiteru…too…"

Raven glanced up from her shoes, which had suddenly become very interesting. Had he just…said…aishiteru? Oh…

"You do?"

She now asked the question, relief, confusion, and worry showing in her eyes. He slowly nodded.

"Oh…"

Wonderful answer. Even Happy Raven was upset with her reaction.

He turned and began to walk away, sighing.

She gave a determined sigh and walked towards him, before turning him around.

"Aishiteru Beast Boy," she whispered, blushing wildly.

(AN: I am trying to cut down on my author's notes, but I felt something had to be said here. In some of the worse fanfics that I have read, a similar conversation would go like this: "Hello Beast Boy." "Hello Raven!" "What's up?" "Not much…oh, yeah! I love you!" "Really? I love you too!" --kisskisskisskisskiss--

Sounds awful, doesn't it? I am not going to rush them into this, and I'm not going to lie to you by saying that their love is visible. I'm not going to rush them into this. I have already gone over the edge in my opinion. I hope not to do that at all, and am not going to…make things like that. Thank you for your time…)

He blushed and looked at his feet, before taking a few hesitant steps towards her. She looked up at him, glowing with the happiness she was trying to restrain. He wrapped his arms around her and she froze up, before relaxing and placing her hands behind his head. They stayed like that for a while, just basking in their happiness.

"Er…right." Beast Boy glanced at her, his cheeks a radiant red color. He grinned embarrassingly at her, and she reached up and pulled on his ear, trying to ease the tension. He glared at her and smiled.

"So, what other words do you know? Besides tofu, games, and no?"

He scowled for a moment before muttering under his breath.

"Kuso busu…."

She glared at him, understanding what he had said. (AN: He said, "Damn hag…" I think…-crosses fingers- I think that's right)

She walked towards him slowly with a fixed smile on her face, scaring him slightly.

"Er…heeey!" he said, hoping to ward her off, "You know I love you…!"

Seeing that she was still walking towards him, he abandoned all pretense of being sweet.

"Kyyaaa! Er…gotta go!"

Beast Boy took off down the hall, forgetting he had morphing powers. Raven ran after him, not trying to control the giggles escaping her lips.

OOOO

Robin stood up quickly, reaching for his staff. He looked around at Starfire and Cyborg, who had stood up as well.

"I heard giggling. A girls giggling. And Star is right here…so that must mean there's an intruder. Let's go!"

He took off, before running into Star, who had flown in front of him. She flew to the ground and he landed on top of her. They blushed and quickly stood up, trying to hide the redness in their cheeks.

"Erm…Robin, perhaps it was Raven! She, after all, is a girl."

Cyborg and Robin exchanged glances and burst into hysterical laughter. Gasping for air, Robin managed to stammer out, "…are…you…kidding?"

At that moment, a laughing Beast Boy and a giggling Raven came into the room. Raven slammed into him and they fell on the couch, still chuckling.

Getting up, Raven looked around at the rest.

"What?"

Starfire smiled knowingly at them, while Robin and Cyborg blinked.

THE END

"Oh Starfire! Let's have a talk about dear Robbie Poo…"

"Oh dear…my turn…"

OR IS IT?

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I am completely sorry about the interruption, but I felt it had to be said. And the end…was Raven talking to Starfire, basically saying she was going to do the same thing to Starfire.

O.O;;;

Hee…maybe going over the edge…
