Moonlightand Rooftops

The night had already settled on Titan Tower, Raven meditated on the roof only half trying. She listened to the crickets chirping and the waves crashing. Finally groaning completely giving up meditation she sat on the edge of the tower, her feet dangling over the edge swinging gently in the breeze. The door that led indoors opened quietly, a shuffle of feet said that the person saw that someone else was up here and were debating whether to continue or turn back. The person made up their mind, the little green changling sat next to Raven.

"Nice night," Beast Boy said, not really seeming like he's paying attention.

"Yeah," Raven replied. Crickets filled the gap when neither talked.

"So... What were you doing here all by yourself?" Beast Boy asked, he turned to look at her profile. A thought struck him, 'She is really beautiful in the moonlight. Wait... what?'

"Attempting to meditate, but I failed miserably." Raven tilted her head away from Beast Boy, gazing at the moon as a mother would gaze at her child playing. Beast Boy still looked at Raven's profile.

"Why can't you meditate?" Beast Boy asked tearing his gaze away from Raven, he watched the waves crash on the shore line.

"I don't know, I just can't concentrate." Raven centered her head again, she glanced over at Beast Boy. He had matured since they had first met, his hair was longer, all his teeth were in his mouth, and he had put muscle on his gaunt body. He was taller too, no longer the same height as Raven herself but several inches above. 'He has a nice body, nice butt too... I think I'm ill.' She felt heat creeping up her neck she thanked the darkenss for hiding her blushing.

"Anything I can do?" Beast Boy asked, turning her head back to her, he then realized how close she was. Raven stared back, the urge to kiss her became overwhelming. He froze thoughts racing through his head, 'This is Raven! If I tried to kiss her she'd blow me into another deminsion! But she is right there, and you never know she might kiss you back. Yeah and she might kiss a slug first! Good thing we can turn into a slug huh?'

Raven watched thoughts fly across Beast Boy's face, "Are you alright?" She touched his shoulder with the tips of her fingers. There was a sudden amount of intimacy became apparent, the dark, the moon shining full above them, the smell of salt from the ocean, and her touching his shoulder. Realizing this Raven's eyes went wide and she began her own internal debat. 'It's Beast Boy! The annoying little twit that couldn't make a joke to save himself. He couldn't make a joke to us, but you have to admit he does look quite nice. Firm abs, height, hair that you can run your fingers through while kissing, and you have to also admit that the no fang thing is a plus. Yeah it is but still! He eats tofu, he is a total slob and he's Beast Boy! I agree with all but one, what's the problem with him being Beast Boy? He knows us better then Robin and Starfire, he did come into our mind and help defeat Rage even though if we lost he could be trapped in there forever. He's pretty good guy, and he's really nice looking. You've said that alright, a few times.'

Raven had kept her hand on Beast Boy's shoulder while she though things through, snapping out of it she said a quick, "Ohh... umm..." and removed her hand. She stared out in the water again thanking the dark for hiding her blush yet again.

Beast Boy thanked the darkness for hiding the blush creeping into his cheeks. 'Dude she touch our shoulder! Yeah but she was just concerned, she took her hand off. But did you see the look in her eyes? And she kept it there a while. Kiss her! No! I can't! That... it'd be too weird. What look in her eyes? Surprise! I think she has feelings for us. You know what, shut up.'

"Sorry about the touch, I hadn't ment... I mean... I..." Raven stumbled over her words. 'Nice job being casual about that. Shut up!'

"It's alright, I didn't mind." Beast Boy looked at her again, Raven looked at Beast Boy and a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth. She coughed in her hand to cover it, staring out into the water she felt two very powerful urges. First was to run away into her room and lock the door the second was to turn to Beast Boy and plant a huge kiss on his lips. Currently she was caught in the middle.

Beast Boy touched his shoulder to her's, he had always been a touchie-feelie type. They watched the moon together, enjoying each other's company and enjoying that the other wasn't forcing them to talk.

The door leading to the roof banged open, Cyborg shouted in a voice loud enough to startle Raven and Beast Boy out of their daze. "B.B. I just go the new, 6.3, A Sky Cars! And I wanna kick your ass at it!" He then realized they were having a moment. "Or... I could come back later if... you know, you two want some more alone time."

They both blushed a deep crimson red Beast Boy spoke up first, "Yeah I'll be right there, you know how I hate waiting for the stupid thing to load." He said it casually and Cyborg knew that he was quite impatient when the game was loading.

"'Kay, see you in a bit, B.B." Cyborg closed the door quietly. Leaving Raven and Beast Boy alone again.

"I'd better go before Cyborg blows a gas-line." Beast Boy said, he didn't move though.

"Yeah," Raven agreed. 'ENOUGH!' She shouted in her head, she got but and moved towards the door. Beast Boy stayed where he was, she fought the urge to go back and sit on the edge some more. Raven marched through the door and to her room without a glance in any direction except the one she was going in. She had some serious thinking to do.

Beast Boy watched her walk with a determined stride into the tower, he waiting a second and then sighed. 'Do I like Raven?' He decided to go back to the living room, Cyborg would be chalk full of questions that he probably didn't have the answers to.

Raven floated in meditation but the one question that burned in her mind was, 'Do I like Beast Boy?'
