Beast-Boy watched, shocked and mad, as his brother left him. He heard John's footsteps quietly walking down the hall towards Raven's room.

"Oh no, you don't." Beast-Boy growled as he chased after John. He saw his brother turn to read Raven etched into Raven's room door. He smiled wickedly as he lifted his hand to knock. Beast-Boy wasted no time in morphing into cheetah and pounced on his brother.

"Oof!" Came the muffled cry as John hit the floor. Suddenly, a growl escaped John's throat as he changed into a cheetah, as well. John's eyes danced as he and Beast-Boy circled each other, intending to fight over Raven.

Beast-Boy used his paw to swipe the air, gesturing for John to attack. John bared his fangs and leaped onto Beast-Boy. Beast-Boy struggled as he was pinned under John's claws. He could almost see Raven's figure swirling in John's mind.

Over my dead body! thought Beast-Boy as he transformed into an ape. John's cheetah form was quickly flung off of Beast-Boy as he stood up, hunched. Beast-Boy raised his feet and carried himself in front of Raven's door, blocking it.

Just then, Raven stirred in her bed, hearing the commotion outside her room door. She sat up and put on her cloak as she opened her door. She allowed her eyes to show shock for a split second before she concealed her emotions and glared. Green, big, gorilla… Beast-Boy! Raven thought silently humming, "Azarath, metrion, zenthos." With her words, Beast-Boy was raised into the air and dropped teen feet away from her door.

"What are you doing?!" Raven hissed as she faced Beast-Boy, who now had changed into a tiny, green kitten, staring at Raven with big, sad, cute, green eyes.

"That doesn't work on me." Raven wanted to say, but was cut off by John, who was now in his human form walking towards Raven and Beast-Boy.

"Gar, I told you that I'm fine. I could get water on my own." Beast-Boy glared at John and he smirked. "Oh, hey, Raven."

"Sorry, John, but I told you not to." Beast-Boy muttered through his teeth.

"Whatever. Just shut up and stop bothering me." Raven warned in her monotone. She sighed and walked back into her room, closing her door behind her.

"Great, I didn't even get to have a conversation." John said, stalking back off to their room.

"Dude, what's wrong with you. It's eleven at night and you wanted to fight me?" Beast-Boy growled. "We're brothers."

"Well, you agreed. Swiping you paw at me… and so what? I wanted to say hi to Raven. Is that a crime?"

"Yeah, it is." Beast-Boy muttered, too low for human ears to detect.

"How so? Do you like her?" Beast-Boy rolled his eyes as he remembered John had heightened senses, too.

"Um—" Beast-Boy was stopped from finishing his sentence.

"You do! My little brother has a crush." John teased. He then grew serious. "Well, too bad. She's mine."

"You don't own her, John." Beast-Boy stated, matching John's tone. "If you say I like her, then you can't date her."

"Watch me." John threatened, ending the conversation.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Beast-Boy forced himself out of bed as he searched his room looking for clean clothes. He didn't bother trying to neaten up, he would leave his room messy for John just for what happened last night. Some brother he was.

As he entered the common room, Beast-Boy was stunned to see John and Cyborg playing video-games together. Cyborg's blue car was deleted from the screen as the words 'winner' appeared on John's side of the screen. That was his hobby with Cyborg.

Beast-Boy turned to find Robin challenging John to another game. Great, thought Beast-Boy, my friends would rather hang out with Blue-Boy than me.

"It is a joyous morning, is it not?" Starfire greeted Beast-Boy as Raven look up from her book.

"Yeah, morning, Star." Beast-Boy replied. Starfire, obviously having no more to say, went back to eat her... what ever it was she was eating.

"Look, my little bro!" John acknowledged.

"Morning, BB." Robin and Cyborg added, and turned back to the game, along with John.

Beast-Boy looked at John and then to Raven. He hasn't seem to have spoken to her. Beast-Boy turned slightly, swearing he could of saw Raven glance at John.

"Did you sleep well?" Beast-Boy turned to Raven, trying to strike up a conversation.

"There was a disturbance in the hallway from some green thing that woke me up." Raven glared at Beast-Boy.

"Just messing around with John. I was going to scare him when he came back from the ktichen..." BB laughed nervously. He didn't want to rat John's crush out, but he hated the thought of actually keeping his secret.

"Sure, whatever." Raven stuck her head back into her book, obviously wanting no further discussion with Beast-Boy.

The green changeling sighed as he walked over to the couch. "Can I try?" he asked, looking at Robin for the controller.

"Sure, here." Robin tossed the controller to Beast-Boy, seeming amused at the challenge Beast-Boy and John were in. John's car sped ahead, but Gar's came up and bumped it. This repeated several times until John beat him in the end.

"Sorry, Gar, I'm you're older brother, it's my job to beat you at everything." John teased, with an evil look in his eyes. It didn't take long for Beast-Boy to realize what that meant. John was sure that he was going to get Raven, and was positive that Beast-Boy would loose just as he did in the game.

"Not everything." Beast-Boy muttered sullenly.

John got up and stretched just as Raven left the room.

"I think I kicked enough butt today, I'm going for a walk." John sighed, smiling. He got up and went after Raven, while Robin and Cyborg looked at each other.

"Twenty-bucks they'll be together in two days." Cyborg bet confidently.

"I say three, you're on." Robin nodded.

Beast-Boy gaped at them. Were they so sure that John and Raven were going to be together? Was it obvious? Was Beast-Boy missing something? Beast-Boy's face hardened as he morphed into a little fruit fly and flew quickly after John and Raven.

"Thanks." Raven had just smiled ever so slightly.

"I heard the gem can enhance forehead chakra." John complimented again.

"Yeah, well, it can sometimes. Anyways, I have to go meditate. Bye." Without looking back at John, Raven walked into her room and shut her door. John contemplated the events, weighing whether or not it went well or not.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the door, Raven sat down to meditate, but her mind kept wandering. John was really cool and what not, but she wasn't even going to try to like him, because of what happened with Malchoir. She dismissed John from her mind and then suddenly began to think about Beast-Boy. What am I doing?! Raven complained to herself. She pictured John and Beast-Boy next to each other and started comparing them... She started daydreaming about Beast-Boy, her and John a little too much as one of her shelves exploded. Time to find myself again. Raven thought s she picked up her mirror and entered Nevermore.

Hey guys, thanks for the reviews! I was elated to see that people actually stuck with my story.

I have a question. It's 2:30AM, right now, and I'm not really sure how this Chapter is.

I'm really trying to build up small things that keep pushing Beast-Boy away from liking his brother.

So... any suggestions? Please review to keep me writing!

I hope you like this, I'm sort of in a daze and I think I'm babbling, so I'll stop now.

Thanks!
