All Beastboy wanted was to get her a gift. He knew what he would get her, but he had no money. None of the other Titans had money, and EBay only got him so much a month. So as he sat in the café, drinking coffee and listening to the amateur singer, he thought and thought.
The gift was a purple crystal necklace that changed shape depending on the wearer's mood. It was held by Jinx, who said she paid two grand for it, which wasn't unbelievable. Beastboy wanted Raven to feel happy again, and even if she couldn't show it, the crystal would.
Beastboy knew he was in love, and for once it wasn't the hottest girl around, or the nicest, or the funniest. It was Raven, who was better than all those girls combined. Raven cared, and she never wanted to change him. Plus, they had a lot in common. They had both been betrayed, by Malchior and Terra, they both had a dark creature in them, Trigon and the Beast, and they both wanted love. Beastboy had always wanted it, and Raven had always needed it.
As he pondered this, the amateur singer stepped of the stage with her guitar. That's when it hit him, like the guitar had smashed into his head. Beastboy ran after the girl, an idea forming.
Raven sat in her room, sighing as she looked at the same line in her book once again. In truth, she was hoping her coming birthday, her nineteenth, wouldn't come. She hated birthdays, everyone wanting to be around her, and all those stupid gifts. She hated it, but she knew that it was all normal to them. They had always celebrated birthdays, while she loathed hers.
In truth, she wished for one thing. It was stupid, but it was something she always wanted. Ever since she was a kid and everyone saw her as nothing more than a monster. She wanted love. She thought she had it once, but Malchior was a liar. Thank any living god for Beastboy, being there for her. Damn, she thought it again. She hated that she couldn't stop thinking about him.
Raven went for a walk through town. She was in blue jeans, a blue tank top, and her black jacket was on. She went into a store, hoping for a good CD. That's when she saw it, Beastboy was sitting with a red haired girl, with an amazing body and deep green eyes. They had guitars in their hands, and they seemed to be singing together. Raven's eyes watered, and she ran out of the store.
