Chapter 2:
Raven was floating in the air, meditating. She tuned out the sound of the thunderstorm. She was in the far side of the room, away from the window. Beast Boy was lying on the couch, bored out of his mind. He wanted to ask Raven if she would want to do something with him such as play a board game or just talk, but he decided against disrupting her concentration. He smiled when he realized that eventually she would stop meditating and probably jump into his lap again for protection from the storm, which obviously scared her. He also remembered that she had her book with her, so that was one thing that could keep her busy. His smile disappeared when he thought of this and he contemplated on whether or not he should hide the book. This was one of the few times when he would be alone with Raven for a long time. He wanted to use this time to get to know her.
Beast Boy got up from the couch and grabbed the book from the coffee table. He tried finding a hiding place, then finally decided on hiding it under the couch cushions. He sat down again, noticing that the book made the couch a little lumpier, but figured Raven wouldn't notice. He sat there for a while and eventually laid back down, slowly falling asleep.
Raven opened her eyes, and was surprised to hear the room so quiet. She thought that Beast Boy would be going insane being locked up in a room like this. She looked around the room for him, but couldn't see him anywhere. She walked to the couch and saw him laying there, fast asleep. She smiled when she saw him looking so peaceful. His fang still poked out, which Raven actually thought was kind of cute. She decided to let him sleep so she went to the other end of the couch and sat down, watching the rain on the windows slowly roll down. Thunder and lightning struck, taking her by surprise, and she let out a small scream. Beast Boy had heard this and woke up. He looked to see Raven on the other end of the couch, hugging her knees to her chest. He sat up and moved next to her.
"It's okay, Rae, the storm will pass." He said as he put his hand on her shoulder.
She calmed down a bit and put her legs down to sit normally.
"Have a nice nap?" she decided to change the subject.
"Yeah. Have a nice meditation?" he said as he leaned back on the couch. He felt the book again and shifted uncomfortably. He thought about moving it but thought it would be hard to with Raven now talking to him.
"Yes."
They sat there in awkward silence for several minutes, both staring out the window. Thunder and lightning startled them out of their staring, and Raven jumped, accidentally landing closer to Beast Boy, closing the gap between them.
"Sorry" she said quietly as she scooted a few inches away.
"No no, it's fine. I get that you're afraid of the storm"
Raven's eyes widened. "I'm not scared."
"Oh come on Rae, every time thunder and lightning goes off, you get totally freaked out"
"...don't tell the others" she said quietly.
Beast Boy smiled at her and said "Don't worry Rae, your secret's safe with me."
It got silent again.
"Wanna play a game or something? To pass the time?"
"I'd rather not."
"Oh, uh okay. How about we just talk then? It won't be any fun just sitting here for hours."
"Fine" she sighed.
"So, what did you think of that show we were watching earlier? Pretty dull right?"
"I've had more fun watching you and Cyborg play video games"
"And I've had more fun watching you meditate"
"Since when do you watch me meditate?"
"What? Oh um..never mind"
"...ooookay"
Thunder and lightning went off again, and Raven jolted in her seat.
"You know Raven, if you want, you could sit closer to me. Until the storm passes. If it'll make you feel safer."
Beast Boy was shocked when Raven actually took him up on his offer and scooted closer to him, so there was no space between where they were sitting.
"Thanks" she said meekly.
"No problem Rae" Beast Boy said, his voice cracking when he said "Rae."
Raven giggled and blushed at this. Maybe being stuck with him all night wouldn't be so bad after all.
