Beast Boy hummed happily to himself . It was the middle of the afternoon on a Saturday. A lazy Saturday, which didn't happen very often for superheroes. Each of the Titans were doing their own thing.

Robin was training in the gym, Cyborg working on his car, as always. Starfire's probably in her room reading up on some girly magazine, and Raven was in her room meditating. She had been doing that a lot more since she and Beast Boy started dating.

Beast Boy was on his own, and for once he was glad. Since today marked the second month in his relationship with Raven and he wanted to do something special for her. Something that will hopefully show her how happy she had made him.

"Now, where did I put that thing?" Beast Boy mused to himself, entering the common room. His prized guitar wasn't hidden under the bed like it usually was, somewhere no one would search. Usually he was careful of putting it back in its home, but he stayed up so late the night before, strumming on the roof, he must've been too tired.

Beast Boy searched every inch of the common room. He didn't leave any place unchecked. You would think a tan guitar would be easy to spot. Perhaps he didn't leave it here after all. Maybe he left it on the roof. Thankfully it hadn't rained at all today, so it should still be in pristine condition. Then he spotted it.

Beast Boy felt his entire world come crashing down on him in one instant. His guitar, the most important possession to him laid on the kitchen counter in pieces. Not just a couple big pieces that could be easily repaired by Raven, but hundreds of tiny pieces, the strings poking in various directions. In fact it didn't resemble a guitar at all. Instead it looked like a wooden mess. Right next to it is a note in Starfire's loopy handwriting:

Friends,

My sincerest apologies to whoever this item belonged to. I found it on the sofa and was trying to figure out how this mysterious object worked. I squeezed it too hard and it broke. Please forgive me, for I meant no harm.

Starfire

Irrational anger swelled in Beast Boy. He knew that he shouldn't be so angry at Starfire because of her curious nature, but he couldn't help it. She destroyed the one possession that mattered to him the most. The guitar his father gave him. Now he had nothing left of his parents. Beast Boy could feel the rage inside, the Beast trying desperately to come out. It was as if it was trying to break his ribs and escape through his chest. He had to calm down, otherwise he would destroy the whole tower without the need to morph.

Beast Boy stormed over to the couch, then slumped onto the soft material, grabbing the closest pillow to his chest. Tears of immense sadness fell from his eyes like a fast river. The emotion quickly took over the anger that swelled in him, though the anger was still present. He felt as though he had lost his parents all over again. He wanted to die.


Raven looked at herself in the mirror, a smile appeared on her scarlet lips. She resembled her newest emotion a lot. Love. Another emotion that had been a sub part of affection, but now a emotion-clone of its own.

Shoulder long hair, white cloak and a soft smile. Built of every kind of love a person could feel and kindness and compassion.

It didn't take long after a happy relationship with the handsome changeling for her blue and black uniform to turn white. And the Color lasted more than it ever had.

"I really should do something about this, I'm glad my powers are more in control than ever, but I don't want my every clothing to turn white."

Young empath reached for her hand mirror, Nevermore appeared on the glass.

"We should do something for him," Happy said energetically in her mind. "I mean we've been with him for two months!"

"Two glorious months!" Love squealed kissing a photo of Beast Boy and hugging it to her chest.

Raven shook her head, but couldn't help but smile to herself. The multitude of positive emotions had be a strange, yet welcoming change. She didn't realize how much better her powers worked when she was in such a positive mood...when she was Happy. And it was all thanks to her Beast Boy. Her emotions were right. She should do something for Beast Boy to let him know how happy he had made her.

"You're right," Raven told her two emotions. "But what should I do?"

"Well..."

Raven didn't hear a single word Happy said. Instead she started to feel really sick. Her stomach was so tight in knots it was painful. Her chest hurt so badly she thought at first that she was the one who actually had a heart attack. Then she felt it: the intense anger, followed by pain and sadness. Sadness so agonizing the tears started flowing down her cheeks instantly. When she closed her eyes, she located the real person who was feeling the pain. Beast Boy. Something had happened. Something big.

Without thinking twice, Raven put on her white cloak, leaving the hood down and exited her room. In a matter of seconds she found the green man sitting on the sofa, clutching tightly onto the small blue pillow. His green hair was messier than usual, his eyes red rimmed, tears still falling from them. She sat beside him. "Beast Boy? Hey, what's wrong? I could feel your sadness from my room."

"None of your business," Beast Boy groaned with a hoarse voice. The one thing about their relationship that bothered him was the fact that she could read him so easily. She continued to stare at him, making him feel suffocated. "You're not exactly being helpful."

Raven felt taken aback. He had never spoken to her like that before. "I-I'm sorry. I'm not exactly a people person..."

Beast Boy chuckled bitterly. "Or a beast person."

"Hey! You're not referring to yourself are you?"

He raised an exasperated eyebrow at his girlfriend. "Who else would I be talking about?"

Raven took his hand gently. It was difficult to do since he was still clutching tightly to the small pillow. "Garfield, what's wrong? You know that you can tell me anything, right?"

Beast Boy pushed her hand away. "I just want to be alone, Rachel."

"Gar..."she scooted closer to him, putting her hand on his shoulder. She could feel it shake from the multitude of emotions that Beast Boy was expressing. If she was honest with herself, seeing him like this scared her. She wanted to help him, but wasn't sure how.

"Rae, leave me alone." He choked out, pressing his face into the pillow.

Raven knew that she should just back off and let him calm down before trying to help him. But a part of her just couldn't let it go. She promised him and herself that she was going to be a better girlfriend. She was going to stick to that promise, even if that included being there for him when he didn't want her to be. "I-I'm just trying to help you;" Raven said stubbornly, obviously not paying attention to the changeling's warning. "Garfield, what happened?"

"I SAID LEAVE ME BE!" Beast Boy roared, making Raven jump. He attempted to calm down seeing her reaction. "Rae I-I-"

Raven's eyes narrowed in anger. Objects started levitating in the air, the game station, a bookshelf, and a lamp. She didn't care. She was starting to get sick of his attitude. "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! I'M ONLY TRYING TO HELP YOU!"

"I DIDN'T ASK FOR YOUR HELP!" he yelled back. His anger was suppressing Raven's quickly. His voice changed from miserable to a vicious growl. "ALL I WANTED WAS TO BE LEFT ALONE WITH MY MISERY!"

Raven recoiled as if he had slapped her. Tears formed in her amethyst eyes. "All I was trying to do was be a good girlfriend."

"Well you're not doing a good job of it, are you?!" Beast Boy snapped. "You should know when to back off!"

"All I was trying to do was get you out of your comfort zone! You helped me open up a little, I wanted to do the same for you!" She said, clenching her fists in anger and sadness. Why would Beast Boy act like that? It's not like him at all...

Fire could be seen in the emerald eyes of the changeling. "My situation is different, Raven!"

"How different?! We both have inner demons and both our powers can be affected by our strong emotions!"

Beast Boy clenched his fists, the blue pillow falling onto the floor, forgotten. He couldn't stand looking at her anymore, so he looked at his feet. He had calmed slightly, but he was still very angry and far from being okay. "You never hurt others when your powers get out of control." His head lifted and Raven could see the tears in his eyes. Angry, yet regretful tears this time. "But I do! I get mad, crazy mad! Mad enough where I might hurt someone. I have claws, fangs, and animal urges! I'm a fucking beast! And if I tell you what's wrong you won't get it! You'll just think I'm overreacting over something stupid! You'll call me a wimp!"

"Beast Boy...I would never.." Raven stuttered.

"Forget it," Beast Boy said, getting up from the couch. He stormed toward the door.

Raven's heart was pounding hard in her chest. All the objects that had been levitating in the air had broken, laying in shambles on the floor. She didn't care. Beast Boy had no idea how wrong he was about himself. He had to know how much she cared for him, fangs claws and all. She couldn't let the argument end like this. She had to get through to him somehow, calm him. Then it hit her. "Wait!"

Beast Boy stopped by the light switch, but didn't turn to look at her. "P-play for me," Raven stuttered. "Please."

Instead of helping the situation, it would seem that Raven's words made it even worse. Beast Boy let out a strangled sob. "My playing days are over;" He turned to look at Raven with his tearful cat eyes. "And so is our relationship." He walked away, disappearing in the darkness of the hallway.

Raven stood there, stunned. Her vision became blurry, yet she couldn't take her eyes off her boyfriend- ex-boyfriend as he left the room. How could this day get any worse? Raven buried her face in her palms and sobbed, her chest ached as her heart broke.

Once she finally calmed down, she decided the only way she could completely calm down. A cup of tea. Slowly she got off the couch and made her way to the kitchen. That's when she spotted it. The crumple of wood on the counter. It looked suspiciously like Beast Boy's guitar. Then she saw the note from Starfire. That explained Beast Boy's emotional roller coaster!

She brushed her hand against the wooden guitar gently. "Oh Gar..." Her hand glowed with a black light, a small smile spread across her lips. She was going to fix this and make Beast Boy happy again. After all, that's what good girlfriends are supposed to do.


Beast Boy couldn't stop pacing in his room. It had taken a while, but he had finally calmed down enough to think. He still was really upset and angry, but also felt strong guilt inside. He knew that he was being too harsh on Raven, and he certainly didn't mean to end their relationship. But she was pushing his buttons and trying to make him talk about things he didn't want to talk about. He needed to apologize and hopefully win her back after a long night of groveling.

'Knock Knock'

Beast Boy trudged over to the door. He was not in the mood for visitors, but if it was Raven he'll make an exception. Sure enough, there she was standing outside his door. Her hands behind her back.

"I'm sorry." They both said at the Same time. A awkward silence filled the room. "You go first." They said together.

The green changeling rubbed behind his neck. "Rae... I, I'm really sorry." He said, a heavy sigh escaping his lips. "I shouldn't have lashed out like that. It's just, a really bad thing happened to me. So bad that even thinking about it makes me feel queasy. And I didn't want to destroy the tower." He clasped his hands together, looking down at his feet. "I wish I had destroyed the whole damned tower but hadn't yelled at you like that." He rose his head. His eyes filled with affection and guilt. "I didn't want to... To break up with you. I'm sorry, I, I really am. Could you please forgive me? I don't want us to break up. Can we, get back together? Please?"

Raven smiled gently. "Gar... I saw the guitar. I know what happened now. I get the feeling." She sighed. "I have a book, it's a gift from my mother. If anything happened to it, I'd be mad too. Cause it's the only thing I have left of my mom. Of Azarath. The last time I tried to go there was, well when Trigon attacked. But I saw my home was burned to ashes. I don't know if it was Trigon's mind game or not, I'm not brave enough to go there again... It was like a nightmare. It was the same as it was before, then it suddenly-" She shook her head, she was starting to leave the current matter." The point is, I know how it is to have a possession that matters to you a lot. It's the memories it carries, the person who gave it to you. So... "

All of Beast Boy's dark emotions dissolved instantly seeing the newly repaired guitar in Raven's hands. "Now will you play for me?" she asks softly. Beast Boy continued to stare at the empath in shock. Hesitantly he took the guitar from her. "Rae... It's-It's perfect..." Closing his eyes he began strumming the first tune that came to mind (A/N: Lyrics from "I'm Sorry by Brenda Lee)

"I'm sorry," Beast Boy sang softly, getting lost in the music. "So, sorry. That I was such a fool. I didn't know, love could be so cruel."

Raven closed her eyes, her mind getting lost into the music. She could feel Beast Boy's regret for yelling at her, yet intense happiness for what she had done for him. All her emotions have calmed down too. She'll have to ask Beast Boy to play for her more often.

"And I was too blind to see," Beast Boy said, finished the tune. He hugged the guitar close to his chest as if he had just been reunited with his best friend. "I'm sorry, Raven. For everything."

"Me too," Raven said. "Your life is your business. I had no right to push you. I'm just glad I was able to make you happy again."

He put the guitar beside his desk, then wrapped his arms around Raven, drawing her in close. "You always make me happy, Rae. Because you're not a good girlfriend. You're a great girlfriend."

A twinkle sparkled in Raven's eyes. Her heart pounded hard in her chest as Beast Boy leaned closer. She could feel his breath on her lips, sending chills up and down her spine. His green eyes were full of tenderness and love. "From now on, I'll talk to you about my feelings more." He stopped, looking at Raven again, asking her if he could move further, if he had permission, without saying a single word. Raven smiled, nodding gently and leaning closer as he did the same.

Raven closed her eyes as she felt Beast Boy's lips touch hers in their first real kiss. Warmth spread through Raven, starting at her head and traveling all the way down to the tips of her toes. The kiss was slow, steady, as if Beast Boy was in no hurry. Raven didn't mind. This new feeling was amazing and she never wanted it to end. Without hesitation Raven kissed Beast Boy back, pouring all her feelings into him. Beast Boy pulled her closer to him, her arms circling around his neck.

Reluctantly Beast Boy and Raven pulled away once air became a necessity. Beast Boy grinned at the goth girl, a smile she returned. Raven laid her head on Beast Boy's chest, concentrating on his racing heartbeat. Everything was finally back to normal. Now that this fight was behind them, they could continue to strengthen their relationship as the days go by.
