Chapter four - the first encounter

That evening, Raven had dinner quickly, and got away.

She was terrified that Starfire may have said something.

She, herself, wished that they hadn't talked. 'Although' Raven thought, as she paced up the stairs 'it did feel pretty good to talk to someone.'

She'd never done that before, she'd always been used to dealing with things in her own head, in her own way.

But this was something too strong. Talking aleviated some of the pain, which was a start.

Raven stepped into the dusk, on top of the titans tower.

It was about 7.00pm, so the air was cool, but only mildly, as it was half way through summer.

She took a deep breath of air, and sat on the floor, pulling her hood up.

She looked over the viewpoint.

Rae had never really appreciated how calm it was up here, and easy to think.

Her legs were stretched out infront of her, and her hands behind her, holding her up.

She looked up into the sky. Lost in a whirl of thoughts, she did not hear the footsteps on the roof behind her.

"Errrm?" a voice began.

Raven suddenly lost her balance and fell flat on her back.

Looking up, she saw a pair of upside down green eyes looking down at her.

'Please let it be Star,' she thought, though she knew those emerald eyes all to well.

"Hello, Beast boy." She said uneasily, but covering it up well enough.

Her emotionless voice sounded as cold as the night air.

"Hi.Can I join you? Or do you want to be..." Beast boy said as uneasily as Raven.

"No," she interrupted." You can sit. This isnt my room you know. I was just thinking."

"Oh, yeah? What about?" said BB amicably plonking down on the floor next to her.

Rae blushed under her hood. She had a good coverup, luckily.

"I was...musing over my poems." she droned, looking anywhere but at BB.

"Why did you come up here?" she asked casually, making her voice as normal as possible.

"I wondered if you were okay. Earlier, Robin said you seemed upset about something."

"Oh, did he now?" said Raven, slightly angry, but glad all the same that BB cared.

"Yeah. Dont tell him I told you dude, please." said BB nervously.

"Sure."sighed Raven. "Theres no point anyway."

The shapeshifter breathed a sigh of relief. "Thanks Rae." He smiled. She looked at him.

"So, are you okay then?" he asked, sounding more concerned than Star.

"Really, Im fine, Robin was....exaggerating." Raven sighed sadly.

BB looked at Raven properly. "I didnt expect you to talk to me. I just thought you might want some company. When I feel low, I just go hang out with Cy, play some games. But..your...different."

Raven felt a tear rolling down her cheek. 'BB obviously thinks im boring too' she thought.

"But," Beast boy continued cautiously "Thats cool. I mean, everyones different. Thats what makes us...y'know... unique. And you are unique, and special Rae. Dont let anyone tell you any different."

Another tear fell down Ravens face. Then another. And another, until she was crying silently.

She opened her mouth but she couldnt speak. Tears began to leak into her mouth.

Beast boy looked at her. He knew she was crying. But he didnt say anything.

He just put his hand on hers. "Its okay,dude," he reassured her "to cry sometimes, you know."

Raven didnt move his hand.

She felt the most reassured she ever had in her life. 'He must know Im crying' thought Rae.

She finally found her voice.

"Thanks Beast boy." She gripped his hand tightly. "Your a real friend." she sniffed.

"Heh. Im also the champion at PS2!" he giggled.

Raven pulled her hood down with her free hand. "I bet I could beat you."

BB looked at her. She had slightly red eyes, but still looked as gorgeous as ever. He smiled.

"Could not." he said sticking his tongue out. (a/n: this is bb remember!!!!Gotto love him! ^^)

Raven actually smiled. But as she did, the window behind her exploded.

Her smile vanished suddenly.

She stood up, loosing her grip on BeastBoys hand.

"I have to go." she said, with a hint of sadness, covered up well enough.

BeastBoy stood up and looked at her.

"I know." he said, not disguising his sadness.

She turned to walk off, her hair blowing in the wind.

She suddenly turned back, and with a slightly red face said "Thanks."

Then, pulling her hood up, turned and stalked off to her room.

BeastBoy nearly melted on the spot. He smiled.

"Your welcome Raven." He said, even though she had already slammed her door.
