It had been a month and half since beast boy and Raven started dating; but they didn't tell anyone about them. The only one who knew about their relationship was Starfire who swore not to tell anyone.
They had late night dates away from others' eyes; Raven made a secret door between their rooms for them to come and go without the other titans noticing. Beast Boy didn't Really know why Raven wanted to keep them being together a secret; but he respected his half demon love's decision and didn't question her.
Whenever one had a nightmare or was scared, the other one just needed to knock three times gently on the wall that attached their beds together; a magic door would open and let them inside.
There were nights when Beast Boy walked into Raven's room and played songs for her; they read books together, watched movies and comforted each other when the other was scared. Some nights they even ended up cuddling to sleep; as young emapth's head on the green changeling's chest and her hand scratching behind his ears.
Raven didn't know why, but she wanted to keep her dating the green changeling a secret; there wasn't anything wrong with Beast Boy, maybe something was wrong with her; or maybe she was afraid of others specially cyborg giving them a hard time.
She just didn't think it was time to tell anyone yet; even though it was hard for her to keep her cool whenever a girl tried to get near him for any reason. She had to do so, as no one knew about them and the fact that they're in love.
And on the other hand, they weren't even official yet, they were dating but he hadn't asked her to be his girlfriend yet; he was completely free to date other girls and that worried Raven. She was afraid he would change his mind about her and dating her; She was afraid to get her heart broken, again.
It was one of the many nights that the young changeling was spending time with Raven in her Room; his chest filled with bruises and scars from the fight they had with Cinderblock. Raven's hands glowed in light blue and white; she said as she was healing the scars "Gar, You're an idiot!"
Jade skinned teen kissed top of Raven's head tenderly and chuckled "For loving you?..."
Raven groaned "For jumping in front of me to block Cinderblock's punch." Young empath sighed, Removing her hands from his chest. "Here you go,... all healed."
"Are you okay Rae-Rae?... You look downer than you usually do when I'm hurt." Raven didn't say a word, looking down with a peach pink blush covering her cheeks; a grin appeared on Beast Boy's green lips "Is this about this afternoon when a girl flirted with me?" Dark sorceress looked away, pulling her hood up to her nose to hide her burning cheeks.
Beast Boy chuckled; "It Is about that!" Raven sighed, her head dropping in embarrassment. Beast Boy rose Raven's head with his hands, a soft smile on his face "Raven... first of all... I took an oath to be there for you no matter what and always love you;... secondly... those girls don't really like me, they just want to date me so they can say they've dated a hero or to get Robin, Aqualad or Speedy's number." Young changeling sighed "I mean... I don't even know why you actually love me; you're an amazing, beautiful demonic angel and I'm... just a green fr-"
"Don't say that!" Raven cut beast boy's sentence "You are NOT that!" Young empath cupped Beast Boy's head in her hands "I think your green skin is unique and cool, and..." Raven placed her head on jade skinned teen's chest "Even if you ARE a green freak, you're a caring, amazing and handsome one."
"You're really considerate and nice Rae..." Raven blushed and frowned "That's not what other say about me." Young changeling smiled softly "Cause you don't let them see the real Raven."
"That's why I love you green bean... you see right through me..." Raven said with a smile on her face.
"So... what's bothering you, your highness?" Raven smirked, the sarcastic smile on her face faded away. Young empath sighed "I'm afraid... Your love for me will change beastie... I'm a half demon girl with grey skin and still learning how to feel, there are many other prettier girls out there, better than me; Gar,... will your love for me ever change to... as... a brother to a sister?"
Beast Boy grinned "Will a brother do this?" He leaned closer, pressing his lips to Raven's.
Raven hooped her arm around green changeling's neck, pulling him closer and deepening the kiss; Beast Boy could hear Raven's heart beat lowering and calming as he felt her smiling on his lips.
They broke the kiss, a soft and wide smile appeared on Raven's lips "No..." She said, placing her head on young changeling's chest, now calmed and sure.
"Raven... No one Is better for me than you;... don't forget that. But... none of this will matter when I tell you this..."
Beast Boy sighed "Rae?..." Young empath's heart Raced like about to pop out of her chest; she looked up to her beloved shape shifter's emerald eyes with both fear and hope "Y-Yes?" Beast Boy sighed, holding Raven's hand gently with one hand and his other hand in his pocket searching for something "Ra-"
A red light that went on and off with a beeping sound following it, disturbed their moment; Raven groaned "The crime alert!"
"Yeah... we, we better go." Beast Boy said disappointed walking toward the door; Raven smirked, throwing his uniform's top part at him "Aren't you forgetting two things sweetie?" Young changeling chuckled, a blush on his cheek; he put on the shirt and walked toward Raven's bed again.
"See you in there mama!" He grinned, landing a soft kiss on dark sorceress' lips; he knocked on the wall three times gently, walking back to his room.
They walked into the ops room, keeping themselves from the urg to hold each other's hands; they looked at each other from the corner of their eyes, a small smile on their lips.
"It's Adonis! his breaking into a ship full of those chemicals that mutated him and Beast Boy!" Robin said crossing his arms and sighing in frustration. Smile faded away on Beast Boy and Raven's lips; Starfire walked to Robin, saying in worry "We have to stop him before he turns into the evil red beast again."
They all nodded and went to the T-car, heading for the ship.
Raven shot the red beast with a magic blast; they were too late and Adonis had gotten his hands on the chemicals, managing to mutate himself again.
"You can't stop me" Adonis growled; throwing Raven away, making her hit a wall. Beast Boy snarled; morphing into a gorilla. He Ran toward the red beast, ready to punch him; Adonis cut the green gorilla's chest with his long nails deeply.
Young changeling transformed back into his half human form, groaning; he grabbed his chest tightly. Young empath rose up on her feet "GAR!" She Ran toward him, slightly shivering; her left foot was hurting badly.
Raven sat on her knees, holding Beast Boy's head in her hands "G-Gar are you okay?" Jade skinned teen managed to crack a small smile on his lips "I'm fine; you need to get Adonis." He said with a grunt, falling on Raven's shoulder. Young empath gasped in fear, pushing him and looking at his chest.
"You're bleeding!" The three cuts on his chest were deeper than the dark sorceress had thought, blood was running from them nonstop. beast boy frowned "I'm okay. GO!"
"First let me stop the bleeding." Raven said, her hands glowing in light blue and white; Jade skinned teen's eyes widened, he pushed Raven away. Adonis punched him instead of Raven and then... every thing went black; the last thing he heard was Raven yelling his name in fear.
"GARFIELD!"
Sky grumbled, black clouds coming together tightly; forming one big Rain cloud. Lighting lightened the sky and then Rain drops dropped from sky quickly, dropping on faces of the four titans unconscious on the floor. One of them was the green changeling who was badly hurt.
Beast Boy slowly opened his eyes, his heart pumping fastly; a unbearable pain in his chest. He looked around, seeing every one of his friends on the floor hurt and bleeding.
"Robin! Cy! Starfire!"
He suddenly realized there was one missing; he turned his head looking for the shade of dark lavender.
"RAE!"
He yelled in fear as he saw his beloved half demon girl in trouble; Adonis was grabbing her from her cloak making her dangle high above the floor.
Beast Boy grunted, pupil of his eyes thinned, his nails growing longer and black; he howled and Ran toward them. Adonis punched Beast Boy, pushing him away "No one can stop Adonis now!"
Red beast grabbed Raven who was trying to push his grip by the neck "I'll take YOU with me;... as a prize."
"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HER!" Jade skinned teen yelled his eyes starting to shine in yellow.
"What can you do about it? you can't even morph." Beast Boy howled, Running toward Adonis again.
"You're not powerful enough!" Adonis said as he cut young changeling's chest again with his free hand.
"Now where were we?" He said with a grin that showed his sharp teeth, looking at Raven.
Young changeling shivered "Leave her, alone." he said weakly, angry and with a shivering voice.
"What? I can't hear your weak voice." Red beast said sarcastically.
Beast Boy frowned "I said..." .
He snap opened his eyes, the eyes that were now shining in a terrifying yellow light; he yelled "LEAVE HER, ALONE!" Jade skinned changeling ran toward the red beast.
He punched Adonis strongly, making him loosen his grip on Raven; Beast Boy roared, as his body was covered with green and yellow sparks. Beast Boy cut red beast's back, Adonis howled and let go of Raven, turning to the green beast who was looking at him in fury; Raven grasped on her throat, deeply inhaling air into her lungs.
Two beast fought strongly; a green weak and bleeding but mad changeling and a powerful, full of energy beast.
As hard as it was for Beast Boy to fight, so he fought; he fought strongly.
As they were on the edge of the ship, he yelled and cut Adonis' chest several times fast and strongly.
Young changeling cried out of pain as Adonis pushed his nails into his waist, luckily the opposite side heart was; Beast Boy led out a howl of pain, he looked at Raven who was still panting. Young changeling snarled, sparking in green, his eyes shining in yellow; Beast Boy yelled and finally ended the fight with a strong punch, pushing the red beast away; Adonis groaned, trying to stand up. Red beast quivered and fell down, finally defeated.
Raven moaned finally healing herself and able to breath normally; she slowly rose on her feet, walking toward beast boy in joy "G-Gar... you-you did it!" Beast Boy looked at her smiling back at her.
Beast Boy suddenly started to feel the pain from all the cuts and bruises on his body, he grasped his waist tightly, he's breath starting to fade away.
Realizing young changeling was weakening, Raven tried to walk to him faster; Beast Boy's sight started to get black. Beast Boy tried to lean on some thing, forgetting he was at the edge of the ship; his foot slipped and then he fell into the water.
"BEAST BOY!"
Every thing was blurry, the salty water of the ocean was making his scars burn; he saw a white and black shine getting closer to him. The last thing he saw before every thing going black was the face of his beloved empath with a pair of white glowing eyes, tears running from them.
