Hello everyone, it is I, Soraoathkeeper. This is my first Teen Titans fic. It is, as you can see, a Beast Boy/Raven fic, which I have dubbed as Raveast. I'm hoping to make a few others too. This is a one-shot, which means I will probably not be making a second chapter. However, I might if I get a good idea as a continuation on this. Enjoy!

Beast Boy sat on the edge of the roof, feeling the cool night air ruffle his hair. "Ahhhhhh....", he sighed happily. "The air feels so good up here." Bending over, he put his elbows on his thighs and rested his chin in his hands, looking at the horizon where the sun had been a few minutes earlier. There was still some light from the sunset, and it turned the sky into a spectrum of colors. Gold, orange, pink, deep blue, purple and, he squinted, black at the very top. He laid back, hands behind his head as he looked up at the stars that were just appearing in the sky.

Purple.....

For some reason, that color brought a certain titan to mind. A certain titan that had been on his mind for a loooong time now. He sighed again. He didn't know why she kept popping up in his mind, or why whenever she was around his heart started to beat fast.

"Why can't I get her off my mind?"

Lately he had been noticing her. Not that she had ever been neglected by him; that was her job to do to him. No, he had been noticing things like how the wind lifted her violet hair out of her face, the way her eyes shined when ever she was reading her book or drinking her favorite herbal tea, or how pretty she was when she allowed her emotions to show. And he had also noticed, along with the rest of the Tower's inhabitants (save Raven, thank god), how he acted around her. How he would always blush whenever their eyes met, how her daily humming of "azarath, metrion, zynthos" was quite pleasing to his ear, how he would try extra hard to get her to notice him.........

And although he tried his hardest, he was always met with resistance. At first, that hadn't done much, after all, he knew that he would get her to smile and laugh at his jokes someday. But as time wore on, as she kept meeting him headway and sent him back with a sarcastic comment, he started to get tired. It felt like no matter how hard he tried, no matter how many jokes he told, he would never make her take her walls down, never even make a dent. But Beast Boy was persistent; he had made a promise to himself, and he wasn't someone who breaks promises. Someday, somehow, he would make her laugh, and make her feel.

Feel happiness, feel anger, feel calm, just feel. It didn't matter if he was the one she was angry at, if him being hurt was the source of her happiness; all that mattered to him was that she, even if it were only for a day, would feel. Because Beast Boy was the type of person who shared his feelings. If he was happy, he wanted to share that feeling with his friends. If he was angry, he would tell them exactly how and why. And if he was having fun, he wanted the others to have it too. The only feelings that he kept locked deep inside him, was his pain and guilt.

So when he had taken that trip through the mirror, he was surprised to see all the emotions that went on inside of Raven's mind. It made him feel happy and sad at the same time. Happy, because that meant that she was human, and that maybe, just maybe, he was, slowly but surely, taking down her walls. Sad, because she never had the chance to express them. It had felt good to finally be able to crack a little of the code that was titled Raven.

"I mean, it's not like I like-like her..." Beast Boy mused aloud. "We're just friends. I mean, that's all we can be right? Even if, and I'm not saying that I am." he added hastily, "...but even if I did like her, there's no way, no way, that she would like me back." he finished, not without a little disappointment. "...after all, this is me, the annoying prankster."

Beast Boy chuckled. "I'm talking to myself now, aren't I? First sign of losing your mind is when you start to talk to yourself."

Suddenly, he saw a star streak across the sky. "Oh wow! A shooting star!" he exclaimed. "I've never seen one of those...." And in fact, shooting stars were rare, according to Beast Boy. And this one was really rare, he thought, because it looks like a purple star. Indeed, a purple star itself was uncommon, much less a purple shooting star.

"Make a wish Beast Boy..." he said absentmindedly. But what to wish for? He had a home, great friends...what more was really?

Out of the blue, a thought hit him. No, there was one thing he wanted. But even if he wished for it, it would probably not come true. However, Beast Boy was never one to doubt, especially in magic.

"I-I wish..." he whispered. "I wish that Raven would accept me. As someone to talk to, as someone worth knowing and maybe, someday..." he gulped, "as someone to love."

The star twinkled merrily, and disappeared from view as it faded into the night sky. Beast Boy sighed, happy that he had finally gotten that wish off his chest. He continued to gaze at the stars, sometimes looking for familiar constellations that he had memorized years before when he had started to hang out on the rooftop, and sometimes just looking at them, grateful for their warming brilliance.

And in the shadows at the top of the stairs, something shifted, silently making its way into the tower, so as not to disturb the stargazer. At the bottom of the stairs, Raven took of her hood and softly whispered.

"Someday...someday you'll get your wish."
