Chapter 11
Beastboy and Raven sat together on a blanket on the hill overlooking Jump city in the distance. The remains of their picnic dinner had been packed away, and they now sat in an easy silence as the first of the stars began to flare into being. Beastboy turned his gaze from the night sky to Raven sitting next to him on the blanket. "Is something wrong?"
She jumped slightly and turned to look at him, "Not really, just worrying."
"He hasn't attacked us yet, we don't even know if he knows."
"Just because we haven't seen the attack, doesn't mean it hasn't happened. Trigon can be subtle."
Beastboy put an arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer, "Well, don't worry about it now, just be here, with me."
"Okay." She looked over at Beastboy and noticed that he looked nervous fidgeting with the corner of their blanket, "What's up with you?"
He stood suddenly, pulling her up with him. "I've got something for you, a gift."
She smiled, "You didn't need to get me anything."
"Sure I did, it's my job to get you stuff." he took her hand and pulled her over to his moped. "Close your eyes." She couldn't help but laugh a little at it as she did as he asked. She heard him undo the straps on the saddle bag and pull something out.
After a moment she felt a bouquet of flowers placed into her open hands. "Why such drama over,” she brought the bouquet up to her nose, “roses?"
"Open your eyes."
Raven slowly opened her eyes and gasped when she looked down at the midnight black flowers. "Beastboy! How did you get these? They don't grow here." She scowled at him, "These only grow in Azerath, how did you get there?”
Robin knows a guy named Fate. He’s a sorcerer or something, he took me.”
“I see. So you went to all this trouble just to get me my favorite flower?”
“Yeah. I like to see you happy.”
Raven blushed as she returned to the blanket, but Beastboy stopped her from sitting. “There’s something else, to.” Raven gasped as Beastboy fell to one knee, lifting the small black box containing a glittering diamond, “Raven, will you marry me?”
“Beastboy, I…”
Their communicators squawked at them, interrupting whatever Raven was going to say. “Titans, there’s a problem down in the industrial sector.”
Beastboy grabbed his communicator and threw it with a grunt into a nearby river. Raven couldn’t help but sigh as she pressed the button on her own communicator, “We’ll be there in a minute, Robin.” She looked down at the fuming Beastboy, “Ask me again later.”
Beastboy pounded his fist into the training drone’s metal torso again, hard. The robot took a step back, steadying itself after his fierce attack. “Something up, Beastboy?”
Beastboy turned and saw Robin, pulling on sparing gloves. “I dunno, maybe.”
Robin operated the controls to the training drone, which obediently stepped back, docking into a recharge station. Robin stepped into the ring with Beastboy, taking a defensive stance, “Want to talk about it?”
“I asked Raven to marry me.” Beastboy said as he threw a series of rapid punches.
Robin blocked Beastboy‘s attacks with ease, returning them with his own. “Really?” Robin gave a grin that immediately fell, “So she didn’t say yes?” It was more a statement than a question.
“You interrupted her answer.” He managed to sneak a kick in, catching Robin’s side.
“Ah. I was wondering why you seemed so out of it during the fight yesterday.”
“She didn’t answer me then, and now she’s been avoiding me like the plague. I think maybe I asked her to soon, or something.” Beastboy failed to block a punch that nearly landed him flat.
“Maybe, you two have only been going out now for what, a month and a half?”
“Yeah, something like that.”
“Maybe she’s just not ready, or maybe she just needed to think about it.” Robin stepped back from Beastboy and bowed, ending the match, “Just give her some time.”
Beastboy sat on the roof of the tower, staring out over the wide ocean, a book, all but forgotten, in his lap. He heard the door to the roof open and someone walk out, but did not have to turn to identify her, “Hey, Rae.”
Raven sat down next to Beastboy, staring out at the setting sun. “Sorry I haven’t een around much.”
“It’s okay, I was just afraid I’d scared you off or something.”
“No, I just needed some time to think, that’s all.” They sat in silence for several minutes, before Raven continued, “You’ve changed a lot since we’ve started dating.”
“My priorities changed. You’re more important than the other stuff I used to worry about.”
Raven couldn’t hide her smile, “You’ve grown up a lot, Beastboy.” Raven put an arm around Beastboy and pulled him closer. “I will.”
Beastboy was dumbstruck for a moment, “You will? You mean…?” He cut himself off as he dug into his pocket, pulling out the ring box. He pulled the box open and stared for a moment at the glittering diamond, before pulling it out of the box and turning to Raven. He smiled as he took her hand and slid the ring onto her finger. “I love you, Rae.”
