I sat on the foot of my bed, Staring at my plain finger nails. Beast boy sat next to me, blankly staring around my room. There had been awkward silence between us for at least 5 minutes.

"It's so weird…" Beast boy broke the silence. "Being back in the tower."

"Yea…it hasn't changed much though." I replied. Me and Beast boy looked up at each other. I looked into his dark green eyes. It seemed like I could finally see all the pain and the horrible memories that were behind those eyes. It was like I could see all the tears he was holding back. "You know Beast boy…" I began. "It's okay to be upset, it's okay to be scared. You don't have to hide your emotions."

"Yea I know…" Beast boy said, looking away from me to the floor. "Right now the strongest emotion that I am feeling is happiness…"

I looked strangely at him. Happiness? How could he be happy after everything he's been though? "

"I'm just happy…" He paused. He cleared his throat. "To…" He paused again. It seemed like he started breathing heavier. "I'm happy to be with you again."

I could feel my face flush. I stared down at him and smiled. He wouldn't dare look back up at me though.

"Me too." I said quickly. He looked up at me and smiled.

"And I'm happy your wearing the locket I gave you." He said.

I completely forgot. I looked down at my neck and took off the necklace. "Yea well…It really pretty. But I could never get it open."

Beast boy took the locket and fiddled with the latch. It only took a few second for Beast boy to open the necklace . He smiled and handed it back to me.

I slowly opened it. On the right side was a picture of me and beast boy. It was one day that we were out getting pizza. Beast boy had his arm around my shoulder. He had one of the sweetest smiles I had ever seen on his face. I was slightly smiling, but it was more like a smirk. On the other side, there were the words:

Merry Christmas Raven, hope this makes you smile.

Love, Beast boy.

I smiled then, and not just one of my little smirk smiles either, a real smile. I looked up to see Beast boy staring at me. He looked like he was afraid I wouldn't like it or something.

"Beast boy…." I began. "Thank you. I…love it."

He smiled brightly at me. I looked down and looked at the picture and the message one more time. And that moment, was when I realized I was completely in love with Beast boy. I mean, I already knew that there was something about him that made my emotions go crazy, but at this moment, I knew for sure.

I closed the locket and fastened it around my neck again. When I put my hand down, and I accidentally placed it on top of Beast boy's. I was about the move it away, but Beast boy placed his other hand on top of mine. I looked up at him and he looked at me. He smiled slightly. Beast boy's smile caused my heart to skip a beat. One of the books that had been on the floor in my room suddenly exploded.

"Crap." I said. "That was my favorite book."

"I'm sorry." Beast boy said, moving his hands away from mine.

"It wasn't your fault." I said as I placed my hood up over my head. Crap, that could have been a real moment.

"Raven…" I looked over at Beast boy, who now was putting down the hood I had just put up. "Don't put your hood up, your face is too pretty."

Pretty? He thinks I'm pretty? "Really?" I asked. "You think I'm pretty?"

Beast boy nodded. I noticed that when he had taken down my hood he had gotten closer to me. I didn't know why, I don't know how, but some how, I scooted a little closer to him. I could feel his breathing on me. It sent shivers down my spine.

"Raven?" He asked. "You are the prettiest girl I have ever met."

My eyes widened when he said that, and I looked into his eyes, then to his lips, then to his eyes again.

"Beast boy, you are the most handsome green guy I have ever met." As I said that, I was leaning closer and closer to him, and he was leaning closer to me. I could feel myself trembling, and I could feel my eyelids closing.

At first his lips just faintly brushed against mine, and it was the most wonderful feeling I have ever experienced in my entire life. I don't know why I did it, but I pushed my lips up against his again, and he didn't pull away. This time It was much more passionate than the first time.

My communicator went off. I immediately pulled away and pulled out my communicator. I couldn't dare look at Beast boy. My face was beat red.

"Raven, it's Cy. We defeated the ugly dude, for now at least. Were coming back to the tower were are you?"

"Were at the tower." I answered.

"Oh. See you in a second." I hung up the communicator and stood up of my bed. I started walking toward my door.

"Raven, wait." Beast boy grabbed my wrist. "I…uh…"

"He don't have time for this now, Beast boy." I answered with out even looking at him.
