"What is wrong with you today Raven?" Robin yelled at the young empath who was staring at her feet without saying a word. Green changeling frowned and shouted at his leader, leaving everyone in shock; "Robin! why do you pressure her like this?" no matter how obnoxious and stubborn Beast Boy was, he never yelled at Robin liked that. His voice was loud and strong, making others believe he made the tower grumble.

"We almost lost the fight because of her." Robin yelled back at the jade skinned, angry shape shifting teen; Beast Boy Grabbed the collar of Robin's shirt "You have no idea how it is to be different, you're a normal guy." He said, filled with anger; Raven pulled up the hood to hide the blush on her cheeks and the tears in her eyes.

Weeks had passed the day Raven Realized the amount of affection she held toward the green shape shifter; every day, seeing his smiles and the way he cares about her, made her feel secure and happy, his smooth and now days more masculine voice always made her stomach flip and her mind blank, making her zone out. It some times lasted until he was gone. She admired the way he protected her and always was there when she was in need of him; yet the green changeling had never confronted their leader, not for her, not over something beyond their silly jokes.

"So what?" Robin said coldly, trying to release himself from the mad beast's grip; Beast Boy had became much more powerful, true he was still the goofy vegetarian teen, but in the time he had to, he became more mature and stronger, usually when extremely mad.

Pupils of his green eyes were thin, with a shine that made the hearts of whoever stared at them quiver; everyone except raven, despite her slight fear of his monster form, she found him even more attractive at that kind of situation, specially when it was about her.

This time but, it was different; it felt like a heavy weight on her heart, there was no sign of the feeling of relief and freedom, she felt weak and useless.

"You can't talk to her like this when you have no idea how it is to have powers beyond your limits." Beast Boy's slightly shivering in anger voice, brought Raven back to reality; Raven stared at Robin who had nothing to say, she slowly walked away as every one's eyes were locked on the fight. Before she closed the door, she heard the rest of the conversation clearly.

"It's hard to control." Green changeling said, putting Boy Wonder down on the ground; Robin cleaned the dust off of him and groaned "How would you know?" Beast Boy smirked, his emerald eyes now shining in a terrifying yellow light; his voice, horrifying and load, just like a beast "Like you don't know." He said.

Starfire's eyes rolled around searching for a lost shade of blue "Where did Raven go?" She asked innocently. Beast Boy frowned, his hands in his pockets; he answered coldly as he walked away from his teammates. "She's frustrated, I can sense it." His voice faded as his last sentence echoed; "You should really think, before you talk… Boy Wonder."

Robin groaned "The little buffoon is teaching ME life lessons." Cyborg frowned; "I can't believe I'm saying this but... grass stain is right!" Starfire nodded "Robin, Beast Boy has grown... His 18th birth day is near, he is not the little boy any more; he has become a grown man."

Alien princess floated toward the kitchen "I am afraid today you were the one acting childish, our date tonight will be canceled so you can use that time to think about your behavior." spiky haired teen sighed; half robot man laughed , leaving Robin even more bummed.


Young empath grasped to the plush chicken tightly as tears dropped from her eyes, she felt weak, she was in desperate need of joy; Raven knew who could make her smile, feel better and be hopeful. But she couldn't just go and knock on her crush's door asking for help; she gazed at the bracelet around her hand, she sighed. Green changeling had told her weeks ago, when she was in need, no matter how far, he'd be there for her; but now they were only one wall away, she was sad, weak and heart broken, and there was no sign of her beloved green beast.

She squeezed the toy chicken, a storm in her mind; she yelled, she yelled silently for help, she yelled for the green changeling 'BEAST BOY help!'

A few seconds after, she heard three gentle knocks on the door; the same way they knocked for the other when the other was sad "Raven...?" Beast Boy said softly, gently opening the door.

"B-Beast boy?" Raven said, shocked of his appearance seconds after her call for help; was it really just a coincident?

"Hi..." Young changeling said shyly walking toward her. Raven asked him, quickly hiding the toy chicken "What are you doing here?" Beast Boy sat down on the bed, saying softly "You called for me..." Raven stared at him in shock, his sentence repeating over and over in her head "you-"

Jade skinned teen gave her a wide yet concerned and soft smile, the smile that made the young empath's cheeks burn "Yeah... I sensed it, I wanted to leave you to figure it out yourself but... You needed me; this time... you actually called for me." He broke Raven's question with the answer; Raven looked at her lap and said nothing.

"Raven... it's alright, you don't need to hide your pain from me." Beast Boy said, lifting Raven's head "I..." Raven sighed, closing her eyes tight, trying to avoid glance of the emerald ones staring at her softly. "Powers are hard to control,... i know; it's hard for me to control my animal urges, like your demonic ones." Raven slowly opened her eyes, still silent. "But we get through it, once in a while it gets hard though; you just need to have some time to yourself free your thoughts and feelings."

"How? How do you know about all this?" Raven asked him; young changeling smiled, wiping the tears of off the young empath's pale face "Well... i am full of lies, i smile to make others happy when i'm, heart broken, frustrated; i rarely let my negative feelings free."

"I.. I usually d-don't show any..." Raven sighed, Beast Boy lied down and said softly "It's not dangerous to do so, not usually but... it can become... sometimes."

"you know more than you show." Jade skinned teen smirked, looking into Raven's indigo eyes "i told you before, i do have a brain; i just don't use it much."

"I-I had a nightmare, a nightmare about my powers going out of control; I... I didn't have the guts to use my powers after that." Half demon sorceress confessed, seeing no point in hiding and denial; Beast Boy sat, placing his hand on Raven's shoulder "It's okay... you'll get through this, we will; just, call me when you need me." A shy, small smile appeared on Raven's lips "I will..." Her eyes locked up on a wooden object near the green changeling that looked like a guitar; young empath pointed at it and asked "um... what is that?"

Beast Boy looked at where Raven's eyes were locked, seeing the wooden object; a soft yet sad smile appeared on his face "A ukulele..." He answered.

"You play?!" Raven asked in shock. Changeling chuckled "Yeah, I play a lot of instruments,... but THIS one is my favorite." Young empath asked with a voice filled with curiosity "why?"

Beast Boy sighed, putting the wooden ukulele on his lap "My dad made this for me; I used to play it and my parents danced. It has good memories..." Raven smiled softly and said with red blush on her cheeks "Would you mind playing for me?" A wide smile appeared on his green lips "sure."

He grabbed the ukulele, inhaling as he played a soft melody; he blushed "I... uh... I wrote this for you." His hands softly ran on Guitar Tab, making a soft and fast melody; Raven blushed, Beast Boy had written a song, just for her? she couldn't believe it, she looked at him softly willing to hear his song "Song's name is... our promise."

A soft melody stroked Raven's troubled mind, putting her at ease; he started singing, his singing made Raven freeze, his voice was soft and soothing.

"when you feel... there's... NO WHERE to go...

when you think... you are alone..."

Young changeling turned around to Raven with a soft smile on his face, his fingers fast and skilled.

"There is a person for you... to hang on to..."

Beast Boy blushed, a fast melody before he completed the hemistich.

Raven blushed, gazing at the jade skinned teen with a shy grin on his face; his green cheeks now pink. Beast boy winked, a soft smile on his face as the melody softened more and he sang softly.

"You'll NEVER be... on your... own..."

Raven could feel her heart melting as she drowned in the melody.

"Sitting right ... next to... you...

i'll... be here..."

Beast Boy closed his eyes and smiled.

"No matter how far... I am...

my heart will be... near..."

Raven rested her head on his shoulder, smiling as the green changeling kept playing.

"Just... think of me...

i'll never make you... feel... lone,ly...

day and night... with you... I will... be..."

Young empath's smile widened, hooping her arm around Beast Boy's arm; unable to stop what she was doing, the music had her control.

He music fastened, his voice became stronger; Raven's stomach flipped, her heart quivered as green shape shifter sang.

"I promise!

No matter what, I will ... be there.

I promise!

Just call. and I'm here...

I promise!

i'll never, leave you... a,lone...

I promise!

i'll be with you forever... even as a soul..."

Young empath shivered, she couldn't even think of him being away; she hugged him tightly; "don't you dare become a ghost." Beast Boy smirked and continued his song.

"And no matter when.

No matter what.

No matter how...

I'll come.

I'll, be...

You... Will... See..."

Music stopped softly, Raven looked into Beast Boy's emerald eyes; realizing she was hugging him, she pushed them away and blushed. Beast Boy said softly with a wide smile on his face;"How was it?"

"It was... wow! Just wow!" Beast Boy winked, saying with a wide smile on his face "Glad you like." Raven said shyly "Beast Boy?... " Beast Boy said as he played another soft tune "Yeah? ..." Raven stuttered "Will you please teach me how to play? it's... quiet calming." young changeling laughed "quiet calming?" He laughed hard, falling on the bed with tears dropping from his eyes; his laugh turned into a chuckle, though it lasted enough to make Raven blush. He said wiping tears off his face "Yeah... it is."

Beast Boy stood up and winked "We'll start our lessons tomorrow, every day whenever you have time." Raven rose on her feet and smiled softly, landing a kiss on young changeling's cheek; she said with a smile "can't wait!..."

Beast Boy smiled "It's good to know there's something that can make your smile last more than one sec." Raven's smile widened; jade skinned teen bowed; "see you later milady." He played a tone as he walked away, leaving Raven gazing at him with passion.

Raven lied on her bed and sighed, there was no sign of the fear or the sadness she had within; all was in her mind was the sound of Beast Boy's wooden ukulele, his song that was just for her and the fact that she could spend every day with him, playing her now most favorite instrument.
