The two walked inside the large bookstore, Beastboy's eyes practically jumped out of his sockets.

"THERE'S SO MANY BOOKS!" He exclaimed, throwing his arms up in the air.

"That's why it's a 'book store'" Raven muttered and pointed to the Teen section. "Over there is the Twilight books. Don't go too crazy.." She murmured and starting walking off.

"Aren't you going with me?" He asked, looking a little rejected. She shook her head.

"There's some books in the horror section I want to look at." She said flatly and walked off. Beastboy stood there staring off into space before he chuckled and walked towards the Teen section.

"That's just like Raven."

Beastboy skipped throughout the store, clutching his copies of New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn. A big goofy grin was plastered on his face as he searched for Raven, eager to go home and read. Wow, not something Beastboy would normally want. He went over the mystery and horror section, but the gloomy girl was not there. He scratched his scalp and started to search the store. He checked the biographies, the non-fiction, and the foreign language sections… but still, no Raven. He started heading back to the horror section when something caught his eye.

It was Raven. She was sitting in an aisle reading. Once again, his eyes popped out of his head. The section she was in was romance.

'Raven likes…Romance?' He screamed mentally. He slowly approached her and cleared his throat, alerting the Titan. Bright crimson appeared on her pale cheeks and she quickly shut the book and hid it. Beastboy cracked a smile at how cute she looked.

"W-what are you smiling at?" She snapped, obviously embarrassed. He shook his head and continued to smile.

"Nothing." He held up his 3 books. "Ready to go?" After a moment of silence she nodded and placed her hood over her head, hiding her still burning cheeks.

After they finished at the register, they started walking home. Neither said a word up until they passed a park. Beastboy's eyes widened and he laughed.

"Raven! Let's go swing!" He exclaimed bouncing up and down.

"…what are you… six years old? Let's just go home." She answered grimly, still embarrassed about being caught reading a romance novel. Beastboy whimpered and looked at her with big childish eyes, and she caved.

"Fine." She sighed, making him squeal like a toddler. He grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the swings. Raven gasped at the spark she felt when his hand touched hers. That simple gesture sent a tingling sensation up her arm and into her chest. She felt her stomach flutter and her cheeks burn again. Yet, it was all so pleasant. It confused her.

They reached the swings, and Beastboy had let go of her hand. The tingling was gone, and replacing it was an urge to have it back. He set down his bag on the woodchips and turned around to get on the swing where he froze in place. Raven's cloak was off, revealing her slender legs. She had taken it off to sit on the swing better, but maybe it was to torment him as well. Shaking the thoughts out of his head, he sat on the swing next to her. For a few minutes they swung in silence.

"So… I never knew you liked romance novels." Beastboy started and smiled softly at the blushing Titan.

"You tell ANYONE and I'll make this swing set plow its way up your green ass." She snapped, her cheeks bright red. He chuckled, knowing she didn't mean it.

"Okay, Okay, deal." He said and smiled.

"..I've always liked them." She whispered. He looked over at her, hoping she'd share something about herself with him… open up to him. "I've always wished that what happens in those books would happen to me…" She whispered and turned away, embarrassed. Beastboy's eyes widened, obviously shocked by the confession. Regaining his composure he smiled.

"It will." He replied and she shook her head.

"No.. it won't. Because of my powers, I can't love. If I love someone, and my emotions get the best of me… I could hurt them… or worse." She whispered. "Besides… no one would love me like the girls are loved in those books."

Beastboy's heart ached and he wanted to hold her close so bad, but he resisted. She'd probably freak out and run off. He stayed silent until the smell of salt water filled his nose. She was crying. Raven, was crying. All logic then flew out the window and instinct took over. He jumped off the swing and pulled her into his arms. Shocked, she sat there, tears falling, and cheeks red.

"I guess I'm no one." He whispered and held her closer. Her eyes widened and she pushed him away gently so she could look him in the eye.

"What..?" She whispered, confused. He said nothing; he just stared at her with sad eyes and a pained smile.

"I know you'll hate me for this… but, I can't hide it anymore. Raven… since the day I met you, I've had feelings for you. I pretended they weren't there because I knew you didn't like me. But now.. Seeing you cry… I needed to say it. Go ahead and run off, hit me, yell, never talk to me again… But still, I love you." He choked out, clenching his fist and closing his eyes. Raven sat there in disbelief, she even pinched herself to make sure she was awake. She was. She could practically hear his heart pounding as loud as her own heart was. It was too much.

"I…I'm sorry!" She exclaimed and disappeared, leaving the young man heart broken. He slowly walked over to his books and picked them up.

"I guess not every person receives a happy ending…"
