It was a calm relaxing evening throughout the tower. Each Titan was doing there own thing somewhere. All that Raven knew was she had a quiet evening to herself and she enjoyed every minute of it. The clock ticked to 8pm and there was a quiet knock on her door. She put down her book to answer. She wasn't annoyed at all, just curious.

The door slid open revealing her favorite member of the team greeting her with a friendly, heartwarming smile, and what looked like a small red bag in his hands.

"Hey, Raven," he said.

"Hey, Beast Boy," she replied, curious as to what was up.

"Listen, uh, I was out today just doing my own thing and whatnot and I walked by this candle shop so I figured why not go in and take a look around."

She had a puzzled look on her face as to where this was going. He noted this and tried not to stutter and make matters turn to complete disaster.

"Well when I was in there, I happened to smell a couple incense and candles that I thought you might like."

He handed her the bag, "So I bought them for you."

Her lips parted in shock as she took the bag and peeked inside. She saw two smaller candles and a larger one. She took each one out, read the label and sniffed them. They smelled of a cool scent, like a midnight moon or something cheesy the candle company would come up with. Although, the larger one was a vanilla lavender scent. Which she chose to be her favorite.

"Thank you, Beast Boy," she said, hoping it came out sounding as sincere as she meant it to.

"No problem," he smiled to her, "And let me know if you end up not liking them or one gives you a headache or whatnot and I'll let you pick out another one."

"Oh no, I couldn't. This is too much already."

"No it's not," he brushed her arm in compassion, "Nothing's too much for my favorite girl," he winked.

"But don't tell Starfire," he quickly whispered, followed by a chuckle and a small smile escaping from Raven's lips and a slight pink tinge to her cheeks.

"Well, I just wanted to give you those. I'll let you get back to your relaxing evening."

He turned to walk away, but something was telling her to make him stay.

"Beast Boy, wait," she called before he got too far down the hall. He turned around and jogged up to her.

"What's up, Rae?"

Rae. She secretly loved that. At first she hated it, but after correcting him over and over and him still calling her that, she became accustomed to it and began liking it. Now it gave her a small amount of butterflies in her stomach.

"Would you want to light these with me and just... I don't know... talk?" She asked hesitant, unsure of his answer.

He smiled, "Sure. I'd love that."

She allowed him inside her room. She was about to warn him not to touch anything but he cut her to the chase.

"Don't worry, Raven. I swear I learned my lesson last time from touching things."

She chuckled, "Okay, I believe you."

He went to her bed and sat down, looking at all of her dark room accessories.

She pulled the candles out on her dresser and lit the vanilla lavender one. She turned around and started walking to her bed to sit next to him.

"So why the gift?" She asked.

He shrugged, "Why not? Think of it as an... early Halloween present! That's coming up and I remember you saying once that you really enjoyed Halloween."

She smiled at the thought of him remembering a detail about her.

"I do love Halloween," she smiled, "But you know, it's actually not my favorite holiday."

"It's not?" He looked puzzled, "But Rae, your room looks like it came from Halloweentown."

"Yes, but I actually enjoy Christmas more."

"Really now?" He seemed intrigued.

"Mhm," she nodded.

"So, why Christmas?"

"Well," she began, "You know that warm fuzzy feeling you get around Christmas time? I love it. I love being able to sense that in everyone. I love the joy Christmas brings and if I can't feel it myself, then I at least get to feel it through others and it's... nice."

"Wow, Raven, that was really cool. I mean it sucks you can't feel it for yourself."

She shrugged, "I'm used to it."

He snapped his fingers and perked up, "I got it. I will make sure you have the best Christmas ever this year. I will make sure you actually get to feel it yourself."

"Beast Boy, that's really sweet," she rested a hand on his leg, "But you know that's impossible."

He smirked, "No it's not, Rae. Haven't you ever heard of 'Christmas miracles'?"

He raised his eyebrows. She smiled, "Yes I have. But I'm afraid this is one miracle that won't happen."

"Yes it will," he smiled, looking deep into her eyes, grabbing her face and stroking her cheekbone. She blushed immensely and lowered her eyes hoping it would help, but of course it didn't, however Beast Boy found it incredibly cute. She tried to think of something to change the subject.

"So, what this about a Halloween party?"

"Oh! The Titans East want to get together and throw a party inviting all Honorary Titans and select fans."

Raven rolled her eyes at the "fans" part.

"I know you don't like screaming kids, but hey, it's only for one night. How bad could it be?"

"Well.. It could be awful. Having how many civilians in our home? Where we sleep?"

"Don't sweat it, Rae. There's going to be high end security so we can all have a good time."

"Well, I still really don't want to do this in general. Being at a big party like that makes me... uncomfortable," she lowered her head and looked down to the floor beside her.

"I know it does," he put a hand on her leg, "But I'll be there for you. I promise!"

She smiled, but counter argued, "No you won't. You'll be all over those girls in their tiny kitty cat costumes begging for a small green kitten companion."

"Normally, yes," he admitted, "But I've matured since those days!" He stuck out his chest and put his hands on his hips, receiving a chuckle from Raven.

Even though he was joking, he was right about that. He really had grown and matured. His body more define and man-like, his voice deeper, his height had shot up to 6'3", and he wasn't really annoying anymore, which was Raven's favorite thing about him growing up.

"You got me there," she chuckled again.

What are you doing tomorrow?" He asked her.

"Uhm, nothing really in particular. Why?"

"Let's go pick out our costumes!" He nudged her. She gave an unwary face.

"C'mon it'll be fun!" He begged. She took a small moment to think about it,

"I'll go, IF you do not pester me about having to buy something. If I don't want anything, then I don't want anything."

"Yes ma'am," he saluted.

"Well, Raven. I don't want to ruin this beautiful moment we've had by getting on your nerves, so I'll let you get some rest and be prepared for a full day off annoyance tomorrow!" She smiled as he stood up.

"Hey Beast Boy," she said. He waited for her to stand up. She hesitated and walked over towards him and simply hugged him.

"Thank you," she whispered into his ear.

"For what, Rae?"

"For being a really good friend."

"Raven," he began lightly rubbing her back, "You know I'm always there for you when you need me. Day or night."

"I know," she smiled and broke from the hug, "And same goes for you. But don't come to me with stupid things." She pointed her finger at him.

"Yes ma'am," he chuckled.

"Night Raven," he said as he walked out the door.

"Goodnight, Beast Boy."

She closed the door behind him and smiled her whole way getting into bed, blowing out the sweet musky candle on her way. She hated to admit it, but she was beginning to really like Beast Boy, in a way she normally would've killed herself for and she was actually... okay with it.

Beast Boy walked his way down the hall to his room smiling and filled with joy.

'Maybe I actually can win her heart over,' he thought, 'If I can manage to make the rest of our time together like tonight, then I'll definitely have her.'

He second guessed what he just thought about, 'That'll be difficult,' but he shrugged and entered his room and went to bed.
