[voice]
Tara!

We definitely need to talk, dude! Where've you been?! I even went through your house the other day! Anyway, that's gonna have to wait a bit 'cause it's Valentine's Day, and I've been waiting for this for a way long time!

[The only thing he might have done differently without the iris, was, maybe, remembering to filter it to her. There comes the sounds of fumbling noises in the background before a soundtrack of some sort begins to play...]

OK, here we go. One. Two. A-one two three --

You can't fade away
The way I feel for you there ain't no word I could say
What I'd do for you, and every single day...

By your side is where I'll be
Endless love and faith you'll see
When I walk you walk with me
Tara!
Together let the light shine! Together let the light shine... Together let the light shine~

[If Tara isn't properly mortified yet, Beast Boy caps this off with a --]

I love you, Tara!

[action]
[And then Beast Boy is triumphantly riding down the streets of Mayfield on his shiny new moped (when the heck had he ever owned this?!) with a giant bouquet of flowers.]

This is the best day ever!

[Naturally, he drives about as well as a 14-year-old could be expected to drive and promptly crashes at least 7 times. Maybe into you.]

This is still the best day ever!

[His bouquet is in pieces by the time he gets anywhere close to his destination. But there's a bunch of simple, elegant daisies growing in a flowerbed which he promptly plucks out of the ground.]

[sarcasmandbooks]

Ah....Beast Boy? Are you alright?

[You just crashed into a wall.]

[thebeastwithout]

Gaaaaaaah who cares about me quick make sure it's not dented!!!

[oh poor moped he will never allow it to happen again except for five minutes later]

[sarcasmandbooks]

[Walks over.]

It doesn't look too bad.

[Leans over and picks up one of the daises.]

Your flowers seem to be a little....squished.

[thebeastwithout]

Oh. ...Yeah, those are kinda important, too. I already ruined a bunch.

[Beast Boy pats his moped reassuringly before turning to Raven.]

Oh, yeah! Happy Valentine's Day, dude! I know it's probably like your least favorite holiday ever, but I gotcha something, anyway.

[sarcasmandbooks]

....you did?

[Around Mayfield]

[struckbylightning]

[Oh, Beast Boy... You're not supposed to drive into snowdrifts like that. It's all good, though. Tara's new not!dad is here to help out.]

Need a hand?

[thebeastwithout]

[Beast Boy's voice is muffled given that he is stuck head first in the drift with his legs poking out.]

Oh, nah, I'm good I've got too many of those already, dude.

[struckbylightning]

If you say so.

So, Beast Boy... I heard that song of yours on the phone today.

[thebeastwithout]

[Maybe those weren't hands exactly, but the ten squid tentacles he uses to eject himself from the snow drift seem to be plenty. Beast Boy bounces a little.]

Oh! Er. Yeah, I kinda meant to filter it, but I guess I was too excited, dude. But ya know what?! Why shouldn't everyone know? Tara's awesome, dude.

[struckbylightning]

Y'know? I had a feelin' there was somethin' goin' on with you two...

[Grinning, he claps an encouraging hand on Beast Boy's back... probably knocking him back into the snowdrift in the process.]

Well, good for you, kiddo. I'm happy for ya.

After the Phonecall, around town.

[forgotten_titan]

[She was horribly embarrassed alright. Her face flaming red, she's been debating with herself whether to answer his call or not. Having decided to take a walk around outside just so she can think, she found a bouquet of white daisies on the doorstep.

And Beast Boy, it so happens you're the first one she sees today. Shy, she raises a hand timidly and waves.]

H-Hi.

[thebeastwithout]

[Ha ha embarrassed what you should totally be honored and showering him in affection right?? If Beast Boy were less, uh, high on flowers, he'd be a little (a lot) worried, but he just bounds forward instead.]

I finally found ya! Loo -- ...Oh.

[...Beast Boy promptly tosses his own bouquet over his shoulder as he sees Tara already has one. Ta-da, instant box of chocolates out of his kangaroo pouch! ...Try not to think too hard about where it might have been when he wasn't a kangaroo.]

Happy Valentine's Day!

[forgotten_titan]

Are those for m-me? For...Valentine's Day?

[Silence. And then she throws herself at him with a hug.]

That's so sweet of you. Thanks Beast Boy!

[thebeastwithout]

[Yes his plan was working perfectly sob this was the kind of thing that only happened to French Beret Beast Boy in his daydreams.]

O-Oh, don't mention it, dude! You, uh, totally deserve it, haha!

[forgotten_titan]

...you don't hate me, right? I'm so sorry about what I said that time. I know I don't deserve you but...

...I like you Beast Boy. A lot.

[kinship]

[Oh good god, why is it whenever he sees Beast Boy it always ends in him being flattened by the other in some way?

Giving a squawk as a moped headed RIGHT FOR HIM, he managed to dive out of the way before it hit a trash can.]

Beast Boy?!

[thebeastwithout]

Huh?!

[And then Beast Boy hits the trash can and goes sailing sideways into Cain.]

Oh, hey, dude! How're ya feeling?

[kinship]

Definitely better than you.

[He raises an eyebrow as he reaches a hand down to offer help.]

You came off with quite a crash, are you okay?

[thebeastwithout]

Dude, I've never felt so good in my life! Look, look, I bet I really do win the Superhero Charity Moped Lottery in the future or something!

[Beast Boy seems perfectly content lying in a pile of broken bones with tears of joy streaming down his face.]

((Did you want to play around with the daisy effects? I wasn't sure, but I will just let you know I am cool with it!))

[kinship]

[((HAHAHAHAHA. Yes, that could be fun, why not? Does his bouquet have daisies in it, would they both be affected or just Beast Boy?))

[Bending down properly, he gives his friend a worried once over.]

Are you sure you're okay? You might have a concussion.

[phone]

[birthmarked]

[God what is wrong with everyone....]

That's a lovely song, Sir.

[thebeastwithout]

Thanks, dude! It took me forever to think of something awesome enough for Tara.

[birthmarked]

[Baww Beast Boy. ;;] Is she your girlfriend?

[thebeastwithout]

......No.

[birthmarked]

[sajdlaksj was this wooing then?!] I'm sure you'll win her over with this!
