[01.11.2015] Hi everyone. It has been many years since I worked on this story, let alone updated it. I'm bring it out of hiatus, but I will first lightly edit through the current chapters to provide better coherence, starting with this one.

Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans, or its characters.

Chronic Love

Raven's fists were curled up into tight balls. "Azarath, Metrion, Zenthos!" She chanted and boxes and crates started floating in the air. She rose up and sent them flying at her target. The sign with confetti writing was smashed to smithereens. She crossed her arms with satisfaction.

"Raven! Watch out!" Raven heard her name being called out by a familiar voice. She turned around but didn't miss the laser beam that came out at her. The red ray of light hit her just below her left shoulder. She started falling, and braced herself for hard blow to the floor. She never touched it. She felt like she was soaring in the air being held like she was a fragile doll. She looked up at her savior and saw that he was green, instantly knowing who it was. But, why would he save her? Did he somehow find out that she had developed feelings for him over the course of their friendship?

Deciding to not worry about that now, she put her hands around his neck and snuggled into the warmth that his body produced. Beast Boy looked down at Raven because of her movements. His eyes widened slightly but soon recovered and held her more secure. He hadn't morphed into his animal form, so his landing was coming sooner than later. He landed on his feet in a matter of seconds, and it was graceful.

He stopped to stare at her for a minute taking in her beauty. He could smell her scent of raspberry and he inhaled it softly. Oh how he loved her scent. She always brought happiness to his life even though she acted cold towards him. He kept her in bridle style in his arms and walked to a nearby chair. He sat down and placed her in his lap. He silently cradled her until he heard her give a slight mumble.

"Beast Boy, thank you," Raven whispered silently, looking up into his eyes before falling into a deep sleep, exhausted from the hit to her shoulder. He took in everything he saw- her eyebrows and eyelids resting peacefully; her pale cheeks that produced a light pink color; and even down to her lips that looked soft and subtle. Oh, how much he wanted to kiss them tenderly. Most of all, he wanted to hear an 'I love you' from those lips. He sighed and decided he would tell her his feeling when she woke up.

"What! That did not just happen!" Robin cried out in agony. He lost to Cyborg. He threw the game controller on the floor and poked his finger at the metal man.

"You cheated!" He yelled, allowing his anger to control his actions.

"No I didn't! I'm just better than you. Admit it! You know it's true!" While he sounded provoking, Cyborg was slightly taken back by Robin's increasingly violent actions. Over the past year, Robin's anger had become worse and worse, and he had started to take it out on the rest of the gang.

Robin responded only with a low growl that escaped from his throat, and suddenly began to charge toward Cyborg. They knocked over lamps and the couch turned over. They ran out of the room and raced down the hall.

"Friends, please stop!" Starfire called after them, but they were long gone. She sighed and went off after the two. She only hoped that the entire tower would not be torn to pieces over their silly argument over the human video games. She turned the corner but then she saw that her two fighting friends had stopped in front of the training room. Since the door was open, she slid between them to see what they were staring at. Her eyes widened for a moment in surprise, then she broke out into giggles.

After some time, Beast Boy felt Raven begin to stir, and he knew she was waking up. He watched her blink a few times, taking in her surrounding. As if realizing something, she looked up to him with widening eyes. Her arms were wrapped around his waist, and from her perspective, Beast Boy was just staring at her. A blush spread across her face, and she jumped out of his lap. "I'm sorry," she said, a small blush creeping across her face. "Why are you looking at me like that," she added, noticing the look on his face that she had never seen before. Anxiety began to creep up her neck and she suddenly began to worry that he knew how she felt about him, and he was disgusted.

"Hey, don't worry about it! I was the one who was holding you." Beast Boy said with a warm smile, realizing he had been staring. He nodded his head and straightened his shoulders, as if to physically prepare himself for his next words. "There is something I need to tell you. I don't care if you don't feel the same way, but I just have to get this off my chest. I love you."

Beast Boys face turned scarlet red. He looked down at his shoes and shifted his weight from one foot to another while he waited for a response. He braced himself for the worst, even preparing to run. Raven, on the other hand, stood shellshocked. She couldn't believe what had just entered her ears. Beast Boy actually loved her. She felt like she would explode into a thousand hearts. All of her worries had been in vain.

"Beast Boy, look at me. I… I love you, too. I have for quite some time now. I just never had the courage to tell you. I'm glad you think the same way." Raven smiled at the sheepish looking Beast Boy. He looked up at her and couldn't believe his ears. She loved him back! This was the best day of his life! He didn't think that his life could get any better.

Raven took small steps towards him until she was right at him. Slowly, she lifted her arms and wrapped them around his neck, pulling him in closer. He reciprocated, wrapping his arms around her waist and hugged her back. Before he could receive any enjoyment from the embrace, however, he heard a familiar giggle. They both turned to see their teammates with red faces, on the verge of laughter.
