Inspired by Pink's song, "Leave Me Alone, I'm Lonely." Check it out!
I know it's very short. But I think it portrays the characters more accurately than some too-fluffy Raven Beast Boy stuff.
Enjoy!
More than anything, she wished he would leave her alone. Wipe that stupid grin off that green face, tell all those idiotic jokes to someone else.
More than anything she wished he could stay forever. Make her laugh so much it hurt.
Raven had never done that, but imagined it was a good hurt. The kind of hurt that made her love him when he was off in some faraway place where he was a perfect figure, and she could enjoy the memories with a longing like for a character from a book. Her own imaginations were fed by a stream of truth from the ocean of, "please come back," and, "I'm sorry."
He knew she was worth it. Under the purplse hair, dark lids, the glaring eyes, she was there. Beneath all the yelling, the tears, the curses, the confusion, there was a girl who loved him.
Beast Boy knew she was difficult. Most of the time his mere presence bothered her. She would be tart and sour, glaring with folded arms when he brought her tea or changed the channel. "Leave me alone."
For rare moments thought, she was his. She wanted him around, wanted him to hold her tight and never let go. Kiss her softly to sleep while moonlight streamed his silhouette on her quiet form.
Two or three days at most. Sometimes no more than an hour. And then she would stop fearing loneliness and loss because he was there, tangible and real. She never tired of himer, exactly. She simply stopped feeling the loneliness that made her want to love.
When he left, said goodbye, that was when fear and hurt and loneliness crept in to that empty space where Beast Boy should have been.
The farther he went, the closer she wanted him The closer he was, the only place she could tolerate him was far away.
"You aren't alone, Raven," he would say over the phone, and she believed it to the point of pain for his abscence.
"You aren't alone, Raven," he said as she raged silently, turmoil building in his presence.
"I wish I was." No, I don't. I just love you too much to tolerate it.
You're so sweet, too much sugar will rot me.
"Please Raven." Whatever I've done, I'm sorry. I never wanted to leave. But leaving is whatt makes you love me. And I need that like the desert needs the spring rain.
"Go. Away." All I need is one day, I'll love you again, I promise. You'll get all you deserve for me. For this. For all the cold kisses and unreturned "I love you's" and missed birthdays, I'll be your Raven again.
"Why do you do this Rae?" I'm not angry. I promise. I just don't get it.
"Leave me alone, Beast Boy. I love you when I'm lonely."
