A/N: I don't own Teen Titans. If I did, Raven and Beast Boy would be together by now. -- Also, the story's title is based off the song "True Color" by Cyndi Lauper.

True Colors

It was an average night at the Titan's Tower. Beast Boy and Cyborg were yet again battling each other in one of their many video games, Starfire was creating another 'masterpiece' in the kitchen, Robin was glued to his monitors, watching for any suspicious activity, and Raven was silently meditating by the window, a vein on her forehead pulsing as she tried to block out the cheers and hollers coming from the dueling boys.

"You're going down metal butt!" Beast Boy exclaimed as he passed Cyborg's car and pulled into the lead.

"I don't think so!" Cyborg replied, edging his car forward, knocking Beast Boy's off track.

Beast Boy's mouth fell open as Cyborg pulled ahead and crossed the finish line.

"BOOYA!" he cheered, hoping up from the couch to do a victory dance.

"That's not fair! You cheated!" Beast Boy hollered, gritting his teeth.

"No way man, I won fair and square!" Cyborg replied.

"Dude! You totally cheated!"

"Fine then, let's go again, and I'll PROOVE that there is no way you can beat me!"

Suddenly, a black aura surrounded the Gamestation and ripped it out of the TV. It floated across the room and into the kitchen, and was thrown into a cupboard with a thud. The lock on the cupboard clicked shut, and then the aura disappeared. The four Titans turned to stare at Raven. Without moving, she said,

"Maybe now you'll find something quieter to do."

"Raaaaveeennn! I was gunna kick his butt!" Beast Boy whined, stomping his foot on the ground.

"You wish!" Cyborg said, punching his friend in the arm.

Raven flinched in anger. She stood, and then turned to face the two boys.

"Will you shut up!" Raven demanded in her eerily calm voice.

"Raven, come on now. They were only having fun," Robin interrupted, frowning at her.

Raven sighed in frustration, and then used her power to unlock the cupboard. Beast Boy bounded forward to retrieve it. Raven glared his way, and then stalked off to her room. Beast Boy turned to see the edge of her cloak sweep around the corner. He sighed and returned the Gamestation to its rightful place.

'Why does she always do this?' he thought sadly.

"Yo BB, you ok?" Cyborg asked, seeing the hurt look on his friend's face.

"Yea, fine."

"Well, don't let Raven get to you, ok?"

Beast Boy nodded, but the truth was, she already had. Beast Boy had fallen in love with the dark beauty, and no matter what he did, he couldn't stop wanting her. Of course, nobody knew of his feelings for Raven. He knew it was completely hopeless.

Beast Boy faked a yawn then ran his fingers through his hair.

"Uh, I think I'm gunna go to bed. I'm tired," he lied.

"But friend, do you not wish to stay and try my 'mustard cake'?" Starfire asked from behind a pile of dirtied dishes.

"Uh, maybe tomorrow star," Beast Boy replied, with a frightened look at the creation.

The tall girl nodded cheerfully and wished him a good night. Beast Boy turned and headed down the hall towards his room. Just as he turned the corner, he ran right into none other than Raven. They were both caught off guard and stumbled backwards.

"Raven! I thought you were in your room," Beast Boy said cautiously, trying to not make her mad.

"I was. I forgot my book." She replied.

"Oh… well…" Beast Boy stuttered, trying to make conversation.

Raven looked at him warily and said,

"Were you going to say something, or are you just going to stand there stuttering like an idiot?"

Beast Boy glanced at the emotionless expression on her face, and suddenly became angry.

"Why are you like this? Why can't you be nice for once in your life?" he shouted.

Raven stared at him in surprise. She hadn't been expecting such an outburst from Beast Boy, who was usually so passive. And frankly, it was rather frightening to see him that way, especially because he had grown and now stood a few inches taller than her.

"Calm down," Raven said, regaining her composure.

"No! It's not fair how you treat us! We're supposed to be friends, so start acting like one!" Beast Boy said, pushing past her and heading towards his room.

Raven watched him leave the sighed. She returned to the common room to retrieve her book, where she was met with questioning stares. Obviously the other Titans had heard Beast Boy yelling. She ignored their lingering gazes, grabbed her book, and returned to her room. She tossed in on her bookshelf and settled down in the center of her floor, beginning to meditate. She was stressed out, and needed to calm herself.

Meanwhile, Beast Boy was pacing around his room muttering to himself.

"Why is she so mean? It's not fair! I don't deserve to be treated this way! She HAS to learn how to be a friend!" he mumbled.

Beast Boy stopped at his mirror and stared at his reflection. His eyes were narrowed and his teeth gritted. He snarled and smashed the mirror with his fist. A sharp pain made him inspect his hand. His hand had been cut on a shard and a small trickle of blood was snaking its way down his wrist. Beast Boy cursed, then wiped the blood off on an old t-shirt that was lying around. He supposed he should bandage his wound, but he was still angry. He wanted Raven to understand how much pain she caused him. He at least needed to talk to her.

He stormed out of his room and down the hallway. He stopped in front of Raven's door and banged on it. When he didn't receive an answer, he banged louder.

"RAVEN! I want to talk!" he shouted through the door.

Again, there was no reply. Beast Boy growled and threw the door open. He stormed inside Raven's room, and slammed the door shut behind him. She looked up from her meditation is surprise.

"What do you think you're doing!" Raven asked furiously.

Beast Boy stared at her angrily as she raised her arms to toss him out of her room with magic. But he wouldn't go so easily. He suddenly transformed into a tiger, charged towards her snarling, and pounced, tackling Raven to the floor. She cried out in shock and pain as her head hit the hard wood of her bedroom floor.

"What are you doing? Get off of me!" Raven demanded.

Beast Boy snarled at her again, baring his long teeth. Raven's eyes grew wide as she started to panic a little.

Raven tried to push him off her chest, but he was too heavy.

Beast Boy! Don't make me hurt you!" Raven said, as her eyes began to cloud over with her magic.

Beast Boy transformed back into his human form and yelled,

"You already have!"

He grabbed Raven's wrists, and slammed her arms to the ground above her head, causing her to cry out again and loose concentration.

"Are you crazy? Get off me NOW!" Raven demanded desperately.

She caught the wild look in his eyes and felt fear well up inside her. She tried to squirm free, but Beast Boy was sitting on her abdomen and had her pinned.

"Why are you doing this?" Raven demanded.

"Why! Why do you think? I'm sick of the way you treat me! Like I'm nothing! Like you think you're so much better than everyone else! It makes me so angry! And you don't even care! You don't care about anyone!" he screamed at her, his grip tightening around her wrists.

Raven could feel Beast Boy's fingers digging into her flesh as her wrists were held tightly to the floor. She had completely lost her concentration and struggled against Beast Boy helplessly. He put more weight on her arms and gripped her small wrists tighter. She cried out in pain, feeling like her bones were about to snap.

"Beast Boy… you're hurting me!" she gasped.

"GOOD! Now maybe you'll know how I feel!" he shouted.

"What are you talking about? Get off me!"

"No! Not until you understand!"

"But I don't!" Raven growled, trying to struggle free again.

"I want you to understand! I want you to feel the pain I feel every day!"

"What pain? What are you talking about?"

"The pain that you cause me every time I see you… every time I even think of you! You're tearing me up inside!" Beast Boy hollered, squeezing his eyes shut, trying to hold back tears.

"What are you saying Beast Boy?" Raven asked, tears springing to her eyes from the pain in her arms and wrists.

He growled in frustration, and then stared into her eyes.

"I love you Raven! And every insult, every time you push me away, every time you treat me like dirt it breaks my heart!" he snarled at her.

Raven's eyes widened in shock and she could feel her breath catch in her throat.

"What?" she whispered.

"That's right! I said it! I love you! And it's KILLING me!" he hollered, slamming her arms into the ground again.

"Stop…" Raven pleaded, whimpering in pain.

"No! Not until you understand!"

"Please…"

"NO!"

Raven struggled uselessly against Beast Boy, as tears began to fall down her cheeks. She gazed up into his eyes and could see the rage and pain flickering behind them.

"Beast Boy… You're… scaring me," Raven whispered, her eyes pleading with him to let her go.

He froze and saw the fear in her eyes. He suddenly felt all the rage wash out of him, but it was replaced by guilt. He had hurt Raven, and she was frightened of him. He felt sick and ashamed.

"Oh god…" Beast Boy whispered, releasing his grip on Raven's wrists.

"God… Raven… I'm so sorry…"

He stared at her with wide eyes as he moved his hands away from her arms. He closed his eyes and began to cry soundlessly. Raven was unsure of what to do, especially because she was vaguely aware that he was still sitting on her abdomen. His words were floating through her mind and she didn't know how to react. He said he loved her. Beast Boy… loved her, and it was driving him crazy. She felt terrible for being so mean to him over the years. She thought of all the horrible things she'd done and said to him and regretted it all instantly.

She reached up and touched his cheek gently. He opened his eyes and stared at her in shock.

"Calm down Beast Boy," she whispered.

"I… I can't… I'm so sorry Raven… I never meant to…" he said, trailing off.

Raven used her arms to prop herself into somewhat of a sitting position. Then she did something that she rarely ever does. She hugged him. Beast Boy's eyes widened and he tried to pull away, but Raven held him tightly. Finally, he surrendered and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into a tighter hug. He sobbed softly on her shoulder and Raven let him.

"I'm sorry…" he whispered again.

His warm breath on her neck sent a tingle down Raven's spine, a reaction she wasn't expecting. She pulled back and gazed into his emerald eyes, and she suddenly felt the air rush out of her. She couldn't breathe, she couldn't think. Her eyes widened and she forced herself to look away from his handsome face. Beast Boy pulled her close and she buried her face in his chest. Beast Boy's lips were inches from the flesh on her neck. He could almost taste her. He couldn't resist. He had resisted too long. Without warning, Beast Boy began gently kissing Raven's neck. She gasped in surprise, but soon found herself leaning into his lips. She felt hot all over and struggled to breathe. He bit her skin tenderly, causing Raven to half gasp, half sigh, mixing her feelings of surprise and passion. She then became very aware that he was still sitting on her. She could feel the bulge in his pants pressing into her abdomen, and it sent shivers of anticipation through her body. This was a reaction she was definitely not expecting, and her eyes widened at her recently found emotions. She kept telling herself to stop Beast Boy, that this was all happening too fast, but every fiber of her being longed for him to keep kissing her. She could feel his fingers pressed into her back as he clung to her desperately, afraid to let her go.

"Beast Boy…" she whispered.

He silenced her by pressing his lips against hers. At first, she was stunned and didn't know how to react. But after a few moments, Raven could feel Beast Boy's fingers graze her side gently, sending electric sparks through her. She gasped for air and when Beast Boy kissed her again, she kissed back passionately. Suddenly, Beast Boy's hand's reached around her waist and undid her belt. She froze, again unsure of what to do. After a moment of hesitation, Raven unclasped her cloak and tossed it aside. She began to fell awkward and shy. She felt strangely exposed without her cloak on. Beat Boy felt her tense, and kissed her again, trying to calm her. He placed his hand firmly on her back, drawing her closer to his body. She began to relax slightly, and leaned into Beat boy's kiss, edging him on. He moaned softly against her lips, causing Raven to pause again. She had never caused so someone so much pleasure before, and she hadn't really done anything to him yet. Beast Boy took this moment's pause to pry off his belt and strip to his underwear. Raven began feeling extremely awkward. Everything was very rapidly becoming reality. She was being swallowed up by her passion and she felt so out of control. It was disorienting.

"Beast Boy…" she began.

He moaned quietly is reply and began kissing her neck again. Raven's breath caught in her throat and she let out a small sigh of pleasure. Growing bold, Raven gently ran her hands down Beast Boy's chest and wrapped her arms around his waist. He grinned and began to strip Raven of her leotard. She tensed up, but allowed Beast Boy to strip her down to her underwear. She removed her arms from Beast Boy's waist and wrapped them around her body shyly. She had never felt so exposed in her life.

Beast Boy took a moment to take in her body. She was thin and had perfect curves. Her pale skin glimmered softly in the dim moonlight that shone through the window, and contrasted nicely with her dark hair and eyes. He was also surprised to see her wearing a lacy black bra and matching thong. He had never expected Raven to be wearing such sexy lingerie.

Raven caught Beast Boy staring at her and a blush crept across her pale cheeks. He grinned at her and gently ran his fingers along her cheek.

"Don't be shy," Beast Boy whispered.

Raven gazed at him thoughtfully, and then kissed him passionately. Every emotion she was feeling seemed to suddenly burst through in their kiss. Raven couldn't hold it all in any longer. She let go and lost herself in her desire. She wrapped her arms around Beast Boy's neck and pulled him down on top of her. The cold floor on her bare skin made her shiver as she continued to kiss him. He ran his fingers along the bottom of her bra, and then reached around her to unclasp it. She began to feel hot as Beast Boy tossed her bra aside and peeled off her underwear.

He couldn't hold back anymore. His animal instincts were taking over and he couldn't control his passion. Beast Boy placed his hand underneath Raven and pulled her body up towards his. He pulled off his boxers and ran his free hand down Raven's soft leg. She moaned in longing, pressing her body against his. Suddenly, he paused, and gazed at Raven. He waited for her to hesitate, to tense up and back out, but she merely gazed back at him. He kissed her softly and after a moment, Raven parted her legs and hooked them around Beast Boy's. He kissed her again, and gently thrust into her. She gasped and gripped his hair tightly as a wave of pain and pleasure washed through her. Beast Boy paused and checked to make sure she was ok. She nodded for him to continue. He began moving in and out of her, slowly at first. Raven moaned and arched her body up into his thrusts and he kissed her neck feverishly. It wasn't long before they both could feel their pleasure climaxing. Beast Boy moaned and clutched Raven tightly as he orgasmed. She climaxed soon after, and together they lay on the hard floor, sweating and panting for breath. Beast Boy gently stroked Raven's stomach as they lay in silence. After a few minutes, Raven reached out and pulled her cloak over the two of them. Beast Boy smiled and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close. They lay on the floor in each other's arms for what seemed like hours before Beast Boy finally thought of something.

"Huh… you know what I just realized?" he said, kissing Raven's shoulder lightly.

"What?" she asked, unable to think of a sarcastic comment.

"Well… your powers… I mean, they didn't blow anything up," he said.

Raven remained silent. She hadn't even thought about her powers. She had been so caught up in the moment she had completely forgotten to worry about loosing control.

"Rae?"

"Mmhm?"

"Why didn't your magic go all… freaky?"

"I… don't know," Raven admitted.

They were both silent for a moment, then Beast Boy said,

"Rae?"

"Yes?" she said, sighing.

"Are you ok?"

She glanced at him questioningly.

"What do you mean?"

Beast Boy hesitated, and then sighed.

"Never mind. Forget it."

He sat up and began pulling his clothes on. Raven sat up as well, clutching her cloak around her body like a blanket.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"Uh… nothing. I just figured… you know, that I should get outta here before the others come looking for me," he replied.

Raven looked at the clock. It was 1 AM, and the other Titans were surely all in bed by now. She sighed and stood up, gathering her clothes off the floor. She slipped back into her underwear and bra then re-wrapped her cloak around her. By the time she was finished, Beast Boy was fully dressed and standing by the door, watching her. She sighed again and walked over to him. He was gazing at her with a strange expression that was a cross between longing and sadness. Raven tore her gaze away from him and stared at the floor. Beast Boy reached out and stroked her cheek with his finger, and then tilted her head up and kissed her softly. She wrapped her arms around her abdomen awkwardly and closed her eyes. Beast Boy turned and opened the door, but he paused in the doorway and turned back to look at her.

"Good night Raven," he whispered.

Before she could reply, he had stepped out of the room and closed the door. She sighed yet again, and then walked over to her bed and flopped down on the soft mattress, pulling the blankets over her. She was exhausted in every way possible, and within minutes she had fallen asleep.

Beast Boy, however, collapsed on his bed, but couldn't will himself to fall asleep. All he could think about was Raven. Was he dreaming? Did it all happen? He lay awake all night replaying the events in his head trying to find some clue that it had all been a dream, but by the time the sun had risen, he couldn't find any proof that his night with Raven hadn't happened. No, it was real all right, and Beast Boy suddenly feared that he had made a huge mistake.
