Author's Note

I know I have this other story I'm supposed to be doing but I did mention that I will be working on multiple stories at a time. I just can't help it. I have a billion ideas in my head that I want to write about. Just know this story is going to include out of character. (Basically most of the stories I write will include it)

Disclaimer: I wish I owned the teen titans but I don't.

Third person

Every since Beast Boy told Raven about his parents, she has spent her time looking through books to find a spell to bring his parents back. She never told him this, she wanted it to be a surprise if she finds the right spell. The sorceress owed the changeling big time. After being there for her, she wanted to repay him.

She was in her room with books all over the floor. She looked through at least twenty so far. It was around twelve in the afternoon and still haven't left her room. She's actually been up all night looking for it. This is how much she wanted to pay him back.

Raven wasn't going to stop searching, she just didn't want to give up. She literally cried after hearing about Beast Boy's past. She closed another book and went to her shelf. Before she could grab a book, there was a knock at the door.

"Rae you haven't been coming out lately and I'm really worried. It's like you and me grew apart. We started being best friends just a few days ago. Did I do something wrong?" Raven walked to her door and cracked it open to see the green elf there.

"No Gar, you haven't done anything wrong." She said and was about to shut the door but his foot stopped her from doing so.

"Then what's been wrong with you lately?" he asked. She didn't know what to do or say at that moment. She couldn't just tell him what she was doing. Especially since she didn't find the spell yet. The half demon fully to let him in.

They sat on the edge of her bed in silence until it was broken.

"Wow, you've been reading a lot lately huh?"

"I guess you could say that."

It was another silence. Usually Beast Boy would talk her ears off, but he's changed some over the last few years. He was taller, taller than Raven. His hair was now a little pass his ears. He didn't wear his usual uniform a lot anymore, instead, he'll wear regular teen clothes and wear his uniform in battles. He no longer kept his room a mess and he now beats Cyborg all the time while playing videogames. He didn't really annoy Raven like that, but he still tries to get her to do stuff he likes to do. Actually, the sorceress and the changeling have gotten closer. It's like they were best friends. The only that never changed about Beast Boy was he never gave up on trying to get her to smile.

As for Raven, only a few things changed. She still locked herself away from other people, but not as bad as she used to. She didn't loose control of her emotions at all. Since she decided to visit an old friend from Azar a few months, he taught her stuff she didn't even know about herself. Every since then, she was able to open up more and show emotion without blowing things up. Just like Beast Boy didn't wear his uniform a lot anymore, she didn't wear her cloak as often. Instead she'll go shopping with Starfire and pick out clothes that were her style. Not all that colorful clothes Starfire would choose.

"Rae, I know somethings bothering you. So why don't you just tell me?" Beast Boy asked breaking the silence.

Once again, Raven didn't know what to say. She just couldn't tell him the truth until she found out if there was really a spell that could bring his parents back. She hated to do this, but she had to lie.

"I've been thinking about my past lately, and I just been depressed a lot." She said while looking at her books scattered across her floor. She's actually been depressed every since he told her the story

She was over her past, she was focusing on the future. Sure what she went through hurt really bad, but things happen.

"You haven't been, you know." he was eyeing the side of her head while she still looked at the floor. She knew what he was talking about, but she decided to play dumb for a few minutes.

"Actually no I don't." she said turning towards him.

"Yes you do, when you're depressed you always do that one thing that upsets me." Their eyes met each others and they stayed like that for a few minutes until the empath turned her attention back to the floor full of books.

"I'm lost."

He sighed, he knew she knew. The changeling was the one who always was there to convince it wasn't worth it.

"Cutting yourself. That's what you do when you're depressed. I'm always the one by your side to stop you." He grabbed her shoulders and turned her towards him. "Have you been cutting lately Raven?"

Tears started to form in her eyes. She tried to hold them back but it was to hard for her. She started to cry in his shoulder.

"I-I-I felt like it would m-make me b-b-better." She stuttered

"Rae, it just makes things worst." He said while comforting her. "When you're depressed, just let me know ok?" she shook her head yes.

That was another thing that changed about Beast Boy, he was serious about everything. During battles, he'll always focus on the threat going down instead of who fought best. When Starfire would tell one of her Tameranian stories, he didn't put on shades and fall asleep. He'll sit there and see if he could learn a lesson from it. While sparing with Robin, he wouldn't tease saying things like "is little bird Boy getting mad" or "wow maybe spending all your time with Star made you loose your dignity". Instead he'll fight like he's in a real battle and not give up. When he worked with Cyborg in the garage, he wouldn't destroy things like he used to, he'll do whatever Cyborg instructed him to do. While Raven meditated, he didn't interrupt her. He'll make her tea and sit down and watch her. Good thing she never caught him. Yep he really did become serious.

Raven fell asleep in Beast Boy's arms. He laid her down and began to head for the door until he felt a tug on his pants. He looked down to see Raven with her eyes half open.

"Gar, please stay with me." He smiled and laid down beside her and soon fell asleep with her in his arms.

So first chapter complete. What do you guys think? Should I continue? Let me know please and thank you.
