A/N: As I said in Princess and the Bird, stories that starts with U1 means its part of the same universe. I'm still working on my other story however I am going to be spreading my work over multiple stories so everything happens along with same time frame.

Writing of a letter

After traveling the world to battle the Brotherhood of Evil, then forming a network with all the super powered teenagers around globe, finally going to Tokyo for a action filled vacation, it was obvious that the five Titans were very glad to get back home and actual stay there a while. They have all grown a lot since the start of this journey both mentally and physically yet this would be the first time they got the time to come to terms with some of it.

Tokyo was a turning point for two teenagers. There were deep conversations between the two heroes, as well as one kiss at the end of a horrible battle. It wasn't surprising that the kiss or budding romance between Robin and Starfire was happening, which was obviously pointed out by Cyborg when he calmly said it was "about time". Now they will have a chance to think clearly of what that all meant but that will have to wait a little bit.

At this time the team was just too tired, by many of the things that transpired on their vacation. The first order of business was to rest, though Robin wanted a debriefing first, Starfire talked him out of it. As they all went traveling to their rooms, it was obvious that Beast Boy was a bit out of it which wasn't surprising, they all were.

As Beast Boy entered his room he flopped backwards onto the bottom level of his bunk bed. He was tired but his mind was spinning still. It wasn't the big fights, the long flights, or all the stalker-esq fan girls that made him unable to sleep. In fact the one thing on his mind was a girl who didn't pay him any special attention at all.

She was always enigmatic, silents, and closed off to the world. It wasn't the first time Beast boy spend time laying down thinking about her. Seeing the kiss between his two teammates during the trip seemed to have invigorated the part of his mind that thought about such things. He knew that he had a crush on Raven for a while but he never thought about trying to make something happen between the two of them especially after Terra.

Comparing the two girls in his mind seemed like mixing water and oil, fire and ice, or tofu and meat. Sure there was some things that they had in common, like how they didn't have complete control over their powers all the time. That was one similarity compered to a several differences. Terra wore her emotions, it was never hard to guess what she was feeling. Even before her betrayal he knew that she was feeling guilty over something. Raven was hard to read, period. He knew when she got angry but other then that it was like reading a book with no words in it.

He wasn't sure how long he laid there just thinking of those two girl. He was just thinking and comparing them to help him better identify exactly what he felt about Raven. She was cute, beautiful, smart, and powerful. He had always thought so but those were almost like facts that would be put on a pamphlet, not personal feelings.

Terra slowly worked out of his mind. She betrayed him and his teammates, turned into a statue, then after awakening claimed she had no memory of him. He still held on to the idea that she was a good person and she still remembered him regardless of what she told him. She has made up her feelings when it came to her past, perhaps it was about time he made up his mind about his future.

After his mind worked this out he went to work on the "how" part of convincing Raven to give him a chance. He could tell her directly but he didn't think that would work in his best interest, or the best interest of the light bulbs and windows now that he thought of it. He decided to take some time to think about Raven and how she seemed to think.

Some time turned into two months before he finally figured out how he wanted to go about it. She liked to read, he has seen her do nothing but reading for hours on end. Of course that would be if he didn't interrupted her. 'I might want to stop bugging her as much' he thought to himself as he made his way over to his computer.

'How on earth am I possibly going to start this'. He already spent so much time getting to this poing that he didn't want to think much more. So he went and typed the first thing that popped into his mind. 'Dearest moon', to say he was proud of those simple two words would be an understatement. He found them to be poetic and he knew that she might like a letter that started off that way.

He may have faltered with the remainder of the letter but he was getting more and more exhausted. Upon looking at the clock he figured out why. It was 9:58 in the morning. No one else was up so far, he would have heard them walking around. He quickly printed out the simple letter, cut the paper to make it less likely to be traced to him. He grabbed the closest thing to put it in and made his way to Ravens room, all the while making sure he wasn't going to be seen by any cameras. Once at the door he used the most generic knock he could think of before slithering away.

-6 days later-

'She didn't even say one word about that letter' He thought, though he wasn't sure why she would. He knew that she was a secretive person. Why would she openly talk about a letter that was randomly dropped at her door that didn't even say much.

That's why he found himself in front of a book store in the mall. He normally wouldn't go to something like a book store unless it was to buy comics, though he still wouldn't go because he was a regular at a local comic book store that was closer to the tower than the mall was. He wasn't here to get more comics though, not that he thought he had enough of them but this was a special outing.

He walked into the store and quickly asked for help at the kiosk so that he could find a book of poetry. The person that ended up helping Beast boy recognized him in a second. After asking the regular questions to the pseudo-celebrity they directed him to his designated isle and asked if he needed anymore help. He could never figure out why people looked up to him as much as they did but by now he knew all the tale tale signs of a fan so he quickly dismissed them. He didn't want anyone to know that he was looking for a book to help him write some romantic poems.

He wasn't sure what book he was specifically looking for, not like he knew a whole lot about the subject that was confronting him. His brows squeezed together as he concentrated on the shelves that seemingly went from the ground to the ceiling. There was one book that kept on catching his eye but he wanted to feel more accomplished than choosing a book with a title like that. However after a little more looking he felt that that "Romantic Poems for Idiots" was in fact, the best thing he could buy for himself.

Upon returning to the tower he decided to fly to the roof and walk to his room from there. This decreased the chance of bumping into his best friend while in route. Beast Boy knew that if Cyborg caught him with the book he purchased that he wouldn't ever hear the end of it. He was also careful not to bump into anyone else for similar reasons, this was his secret and he wanted to keep it that way.

After getting into his room without incident he sat down at his computer desk and opened his book. Reading was never much fun for the young changeling and even though he was reading this time with a purpose he still made slow progress through the pages. After a little bit of time reading insightful tips and a few examples he started writing his second letter.

"Dearest Moon," This letter started with the same two words his first one did but he liked those two words so well that he wasn't going to change it. "Sometimes it might seem you are alone in the sky but you are not". It was a short message but he felt like if he continued on he would only mess it up. This revelation made Beast Boy think of his past interactions with Raven.

He printed out the letter and proceeded to work with the caution he used with his first. All the while thinking of how many times he got in trouble with Raven and the others simply because he wouldn't let go of a subject or quit when he was ahead. He decided that perhaps he should start changing this and see how it worked out for him.

Although the note was already written he wanted to wait till the same time he left last weeks note, 10am on Wednesday. For now he left his room he walked to the common room. Upon entering he noticed Raven getting ready to start reading. 'Ok, just say hi or something then don't bother her afterwards'. He thought to himself, this was a test of a new tactic he was going to use to talk to Raven. He wanted to see if he bothered her just a little if she would still get annoyed at him.

He walked up to her just as she was about to open the book, "Hello Raven, are you going to be reading?" He asked her, 'Oh that was a smart question' he thought to himself immediately afterwards.

She rolled he eyes at the obvious question that was just put to her. "No Beastboy, I brought this book out just to stare at the cover" she quipped without missing a beat.

"Then I hope it's an entertaining cover" was his response before ending the short conversation and walking over to Cyborg to challenging him to a racing game.

Raven couldn't help to notice how this interruption from Beast Boy was rather short. He normally would still be talking and annoying her about some random fact or trying to make a joke or two, however she couldn't even say she was annoyed at him from their interaction. He left well enough alone and she was grateful as she started to read.

After a few hours of gaming Beast boy and Cyborg heard a rumbling in their stomachs. They looked at each other at the same time, there was a moment of silence between the two of them. They communicated in a way only best friends can, without words and only a small glance. They both decided to go to the pizza place as if they were telepathic. "Pizza?" they both asked in unison before the answered each other also in unison "Sounds good!

Before leaving Beast Boy stopped in front of the reading empath, clearing his throat to grab her attention. As she looked up he gave her his signature smile. "Hey Rae, Cy and I are going to get pizza, wanna come with?"

She was enjoying reading without much interruption at all so she wasn't all to annoyed. "Its Raven, and no, I just want to stay here and read if that's alright right with you" There was a bit of sarcasm in her voice, even if it wasn't alright with him she still wasn't going to go.

Beast Boy chuckled a little and muttered some form of understanding before taking off. 'Hmm, no begging or further pestering for me to go. That's not really like him' Raven thought as she eyed the green changeling as he left.

The next Morning

Raven woke up at her usual time, got her tea from the kitchen and went back to her room to start her morning meditation. She was at it for a little while before she heard three knocks on her door. This was an eerily familiar knock but she didn't spend much time thinking about it. She opened her door a little, fully ready to give whomever interrupted her a good piece of her mind, however there was no one there. What was there was a white envelope. That was what was familiar with that knock, it happened last week when she also opened her door to find similar white envelope.

Grabbing the letter she walked back inside her room and closed the door. Standing just inside her room she opened the letter and read it to herself. Her annoyance left her when she read the note, noticing how this letter was far less awkward then her last. She then walked over to her nightstand and put the letter on top of the one she got last week. It wasn't as though the note could be worse then the last one but she liked the fact that it wasn't as bad. It wasn't much better but improvements are improvements.
