M FOR MESSY

The morning sun filtered through the window of Raven's room, casting a soft golden glow over her surroundings. As she stirred from her slumber, Raven was greeted by an unexpected sight—a tantalizing aroma wafting from the kitchen.

Curious, Raven followed her nose to the source of the smell, where she found Beast Boy surrounded by an assortment of ingredients, his sleeves rolled up and a mischievous glint in his eye.

"Morning, Raven!" Beast Boy exclaimed, grinning from ear to ear. "I'm baking cookies for you!"

Raven raised an eyebrow, intrigued by his sudden culinary endeavor. "For me?" she echoed, unable to hide the surprise in her voice.

Beast Boy nodded enthusiastically, his enthusiasm contagious. "Yup! I thought it would be a nice surprise," he explained, flashing her a lopsided grin.

Raven couldn't help but smile at his thoughtful gesture, touched by his sincerity. "Thank you, Beast Boy," she said softly, a warmth spreading through her chest.

As Beast Boy set to work mixing ingredients and shaping dough, Raven watched in fascination, marveling at his newfound culinary skills. But as the minutes passed, it became increasingly clear that Beast Boy's enthusiasm far outweighed his expertise, and soon the kitchen was transformed into a scene of utter messiness.

Flour dusted the countertops, chocolate chips littered the floor, and sticky batter clung to Beast Boy's hair as he attempted to salvage his baking endeavor. Raven couldn't help but laugh at the sight, her amusement bubbling over as she watched him struggle.

"Looks like you could use a hand," Raven said, unable to suppress a grin.

Beast Boy flashed her a sheepish grin, his cheeks flushed with embarrassment. "Yeah, I may have gotten a little carried away," he admitted, his tone sheepish.

But instead of feeling frustrated, Raven found herself swept up in the moment, her laughter mingling with Beast Boy's as they embarked on an impromptu flour fight, tossing handfuls of the powdery substance at each other with gleeful abandon.

For a brief moment, all worries and responsibilities faded away, replaced by the simple joy of being in each other's company. And as they stood amidst the mess they had created, breathless and covered in flour, Raven couldn't help but feel grateful for the unexpected moments of happiness that Beast Boy never failed to bring into her life.

And as they shared a warm embrace, Raven knew that no matter how messy life got, as long as she had Beast Boy by her side.
