To most viewers, nothing would seem out of the ordinary in Titan Tower. Raven was reading one of her books, Cyborg and Robin were battling on the Gamestation, and Starfire was trying out more of the earthly cultures and customs she had read about in a magazine, but... There was an air of oddness throughout the living room that everyone felt, of something amiss-out of place. Raven was the first to figure it out, strange as it was, pinpointing the exact cause of the oddity that shrouded the other clueless Titans. Everything was seemed almost normal except... Beast Boy.

Beast Boy was silent. In fact, he hadn't joked around or said anything all morning.

Not one word.

Raven peeked her head over her book to watch him from across the sofa, covertly examining him in his time of silence and stillness, marking off reasons as to why he was so quiet. Was it some special day today? A birthday? A holiday? The Day Raven had Ended the World? ...Terra Remembrance Day? What was it? Why was he so... quiet?

On Beast Boy's part, he was staring off into space at nothing in particular, idly tracing circles onto the arm rest, eyes clouded over, deep in thought. And that was it, the answer to Raven's question, Beast Boy was lost in his thoughts, thinking, daydreaming perhaps. She had never seen him so... still, so silent. Almost vulnerable. He was off in his own world entirely.

As normally happens, with one question answered, more were asked. One in particular: What has Beast Boy thinking like this?

Beast Boy shifted, and Raven became aware at how long she had been staring. At that same moment, Beast Boy seemed to have become aware too as his face angled towards her, and withing a moment-

Amethyst met jade, each as glittering jewels, enchanting, mesmerising, making their owners greedy as they wished the opposites pair of jems was theirs to gaze into whenever they wished. To get lost in without getting caught, to be their own. And it was a curious feeling that swirled throughout Raven, making her mind dizzy and her stomach twist. It was a moment, the two owners shared on their own, strange, silent, and beautiful, that left Raven wondering just what was happening to her, just what was going on. A moment neither owner would let the other break.

Although, after a moment, it shattered as Cyborg too realized the silence. With loud words in such a stormy silence, Raven jumped as she and Beast Boy were pulled out of their haze.

"Hey BB, why so quiet? Cat got your tongue or something?"

Beast Boy and Raven looked away from each other, both blushing slightly. Cyborg spared a glance at Raven when she got up, book in hand, as Beast Boy replied.

"Nothing Cy, just thinking."

Faking incredulously, Cyborg exclaimed, "Wait, think? Do you even have a brain up there?" Cyborg tussled up Beast Boy's hair as he and the others laughed.

"Cut it out, Cy!" Beast Boy laughed, wriggling away from his outstretched hand.

No one paid any attention to Raven, who was still red in the face, until the doors to the common room whooshed shut, and she was gone.

Looking at the place where she had been standing a moment before, Robin asked cluelessly, "What's eating her up?"

Concerned, Starfire stepped up and out of the room, leaving behind her stack of magazines, saying with a small frown upon her face, "I will do the talking of girls to friend Raven and do the finding out of things."

With another whoosh, the doors shut behind Starfire, and she too was gone.

Shaking their heads, the boys each got back to their video games, not thinking anymore of the happenings of a moment before, except Beast Boy, who went back to being lost in his thoughts.

Leave a review, and the next chapter will come soon. I have a good idea for where to take this, and I'm sure you'd like to see where this will go. Even I want to see where it'll go, and all it'll take is a review or two...

Yes. I am resorting to blackmail.

Plus I want to know if this is worth continuing. So please let me know.

Thanks. Yours truly,
