There and Back Again
Disclaimer: No...of course I don't own Teen Titans...now shoo!

"The past arguments were over little things, which were brushed under the rug as quickly as they had risen. This one, I wasn't too sure. I think we both needed to cool down, I might've pushed him over the edge."

"I KNOW. He's prying! He likes you, we all know!"

"So?"

"'So?' SO? Rae! C'mon!"

"What's bothering you so much? We're together remember?"

"Exactly! That's why it bothers me! Whenever he flirts with you, you don't stop him! You go along with it!"

"We BOTH agreed that we wanted this relationship under the radar! What better way than by going along with it, we're supposed to look like we aren't dating!"

"He'll take it too far!"

"Oh yeah? How?"

"He'll ask you out, and you'll reject him!"

"That's good-!"

"NO! Then he'll get angry and ask why not! You'll say there's someone else! He'll ask who, and you'll eventually give in and tell him you're taken! Then he'll get real pissed off-"

"Like you right now?"

"…Yeah! Then he'll tell everyone! And we'll have to deal with Robin spazzing, 'You are supposed to follow orders, not get distracted!' Blah blah blah, duty this duty that! He's just going to screw it up!"

I turned to look out the window, too irritated to talk to him, "Beast Boy you're acting irrational!"

"Fine! Don't believe me! But let me ask you, do you like him?"

I spun around, now facing him, I managed to splutter a response, "W-what?"

He sighed, "Do you like Aqua Lad?"

I blinked, what was I supposed to say? This was BB! He can be sweet and sensitive! Sure Aqua Lad was charming, but Beast Boy, with some maturity, could eventually outmatch Aqua Lad. I can't believe what I did next, I guess I was just tired of all the arguing, so I just decided to piss him off even more.

I turned away, crossing my arms, eyes closed with my chin high in the air.

"Who doesn't? He's gorgeous! Strong, brave, Atlantian! He's like the perfect guy and hero rolled into one!" I turned only to see BB frowning, eyes glistened and ears drooped downward, I sneered in anger, "Why do you care?"

"…I-I…"

I saw a solitary tear roll down his sad face, we were in our later teens, and Beast Boy's face had begun to mature even more. I felt a pang of guilt, as I saw his expression, knowing I had caused him the pain. I wish I could have taken back my words, it wasn't right to compare Beast Boy to Aqua Lad. There were plenty of things Beast Boy was better at than Aqua Lad could ever dream to be!

"What?" I snapped.

He wiped his eyes, standing tall and manly, he pulled from behind his back a black rose. Strange I hadn't noticed it before, my expression softened, and I slowly uncrossed my arms. I could sense his emotions radiating off of him, anger, hurt, sadness, it was rolling off of him like crazy.

"Do you want Aqua Lad?"

Before I even responded, he continued, "Of course you do, don't even think about denying it! If you want your damn perfect hero, then, FINE! I am done with this, I don't deserve to be compared to! I sure as hell am not a perfect hero, I'm not as good looking as he is, and of course, I'm green! Well Raven," He spat, "You are not a perfect penny! But I was able to see past your flaws to the inner beauty! I thought you did the same to me, I thought you saw who I really was! Not some...some…FREAK! I'm leaving!"

I was frozen, I was never yelled at before, and especially from Beast Boy! He always feared me or cared too much for me! There I stood, my mouth slightly agape. BB approached the window where I was standing, he gently placed the delicate rose on the window sill, before looking me in the eye, and transforming into a raven soaring into the night.

I will never forget the look in his eyes, he looked so sad, I feared what he might do to himself, as much as I doubt I will ever forgive myself for letting him go.

A/N: Hi! I'm EggrollEmpress, this is my first Teen Titans fic. I'm a fan of Raven and BB! :3 They're just too cute! Anyway, I know in the beginning it doesn't really explain what happens during the dialogue, I kind of just want you guys to visualize how these guys would act IC. So yeah...kay bye...
