Comic Book Love

Just a one shot. I don't own Teen Titans.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Yo, have we found out who writes this comic yet? Dude's getting creepier and creepier with each issue, it's like he's one of us."

"Sorry Cy, even with Batman's help, I can't figure it out."

"Please, how are we to find this Terry O'Neil? I wish we would soon..."

"I just wonder how he's managed to get everything right, except for one thing, I'm not in love with Beast Boy." A bitter monotone voice said, how the hell had he discovered her deepest secret? And while she had liked the idea of Beast Boy secretly being in love with her, yet too shy to admit it, she knew it wasn't true...right? "Where is he anyway?" Raven quickly went to his room and checked in on him. "Odd, he's not here...What the?" Raven saw a cartoonist-drawing easel near Beast Boy's bed. She went over to it and gasped in shock and horror. "HE'S TERRY O'NEIL?!?!" Raven suddenly felt betrayed by Beast Boy as she realized he actually had used their lives as comic book stories. She rushed to the common room and told everyone what she had found.

"So...what will we do now that the O'Neil of Terry has been revealed to be Friend Beast Boy?"

"I don't know Starfire, but he better have a good explanation for this sick joke of his." Raven fumed.

"Raven I don't think he was joking about the feelings of the characters in his comic."

"AND HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?!" She yelled angrily, with her infamous four red eyes appearing. Suddenly they vanished as the common room door swished open and Beast Boy ran in wondering why Raven had yelled.

"Hey guys, I heard...Rae yelling...uh...what's going on?" He asked in pure confusion as his animal senses picked up betrayal, hurt, confusion, sadness, and mostly confusion.

"Gar-" Robin began before Raven cut him off.

"We need to talk, privately." She said sharply before dragging Gar off.

"O...kay? Um...Raven?"

"Shh!" Raven scolded a little more harshly than she should have and felt a little guilty because of the very hurt look on his face. "I'm...sorry that it was a bit more harshly than I intended, but it just isn't wise to speak right now, not until we get to your room Gar."

"My room? Why my- No, there's no way she knows...right?" He thought to himself, but when he saw the look on her face when they got to his room, "Crap, she knows."

"Yes I do know Garfield Logan, that Terry O'Neil is actually you." She said as they entered his room.

"Rae, about th-"

"RAVEN!" She said almost venomously.

"S-Sorry...Raven...I-I *sigh* I owe you an explanation more than anyone else on the team." He admitted.

"Why Gar? Why did you create it? AND WHY THE HELL DID YOU MAKE SOME SICK JOKE ABOUT US BEING TOGETHER?! WHAT GAVE YOU THE IDEA THAT IT WAS OKAY?! WHAT GAVE YOU THE IDEA THAT IT WAS OKAY TO SAY THAT WE HAVE FEELINGS FOR EACH OTHER WHEN OBVIOUSLY YOU DON'T!!! AND HOW THE HELL DID YOU THINK IT WAS OKAY TO LET THE WORLD KNOW THAT LITTLE TIDBIT ABOUT ME?!?!" She screamed in anger, but suddenly it disappeared when she saw the look of pure hurt and being an empath, felt his heart crack.

Taking a deep breath, he responded. "I wanted to tell the world about the Teen Titans, I also wanted to show off my artistic skills...and...you say you're an empath, but obviously you hate me too much to see the truth Raven...all I can say is I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I ruined whatever we could have had by doing the comic." Raven could feel the heartbreak of her green companion, which made her very confused.

"I-I don't hate you, I just want to know why you hate me. Because...you don't really have...a...crush...on..." The look in his eyes said it all.

"Yes, I do Rae...But it's more than just some crush! I'm in Love with you! The comic was the only way I could tell you because I couldn't get the actual courage to do so! But now, I don't even know if you want to be friends with me anymore because of what I did! I've wanted to be more than just friends with you since the day we met, and now my chances are sh-" He was suddenly cut off by a pair of soft, sweet lips pressing hard against his own. He realized that it was Raven kissing him on the lips, with that knowledge he closed his eyes and kissed back just in time before she broke it off.

"Does that answer your question? And I'm sorry for what I said. And isn't there something you should be asking?"

"Can we do that again?" He asked, still in a daze.

"Depends on your next question." She asked, blushing hard.

"First I want to say I forgive you, and second, will you be my girlfriend?" He asked seriously.

"Hmm...let me think." She said playfully before kissing him passionately on the lips, which he returned eagerly. "Yes"
