Raven was sleeping very soundly, to Beast Boy's suprise, but he could exactly tell because her face was hidden by her dark hair. Cautiously, he brushed her hair aside so her could see her face. It was rigid with pain, a small frown across her silent face. Beast Boy wished very much that he could rid her of that pain. He hated to see her suffer, even if she never laughed at his jokes.

He glanced down at her shaky hand, which had fallen of the end of the couch. He took a deep breath, and knowing the consequences of his actions, and unconsciously stroked her hand gently. He palms were rough from sliding on the pavement, and hot to the touch. But he could tell that she was cold, so he unfastened her cloak and draped it over her like a blanket. She was so beautiful asleep. Just the way her light cloak fell across her sore body, and the way her eyes were shut perfectly so. Not squinting but not shaking. There was the feeling of pain in them, but they still fell shut flawlessly. He looked down towards the end of her body, and noticed that a single bare foot stuck out under her cloak. He smiled, though he didn't know why.

He wanted to touch her face so badly, but when he tried, it proved to be too much of a risk. Raven winced, and struggled to open her eyes. When she did, she saw Beast Boy in the corner of the couch, a little frightened.

Beast Boy.... Wha.... she paused for a moment as she rubbed her eyes. What are you doing?

he couldn't think of what to say. He was already lucky that she didn't notice her cloak was draped over her. I couldn't sleep. I wanted to come see if you were awake and okay. I wasn't here long.

Raven sighed and nodded. Then she slowly pushed herself upright, and her cloak fell off her onto the ground.

Beast Boy blushed a little with embarrassment, because without her cloak, all she had underneath was a black leotard-like thing. Raven finally noticed and looked down, her hair fell in her face. But she looked up right after and met Beast Boy's eyes, and all she could do is smile at their childish behavior. It wasn't a kind of smile just to make someone feel better, it was a genuine happy smile. Beast Boy had never seen such a thing across her face before. It was nice.

So, are you going to the hospital tomorrow? Beast Boy asked.

I don't really want a whole bunch of people following me around, and doing tests on me to see if I'm normal'. Just think about what would happen if they tried to check my blood pressure or something! They'll have to take x-rays too!

But it's just your ankle.

They still do all those kind of tests. Besides, I don't want to be around so many people. I'm not really like that. If it really is broken, it would always heal by itself. It won't walk around. I just don't want to go.

Beast Boy just decided to not talk about it anymore. He didn't want to get her annoyed, as usual.

Raven got up and floated to the window, and opened the blinds. The moon shone in, lighting to whole room with an eerie sort of light.

I love the moon, she said to herself. Beast Boy walked up beside her. It's the one type of light I don't mind. The night is filled with incredible things. So many of them go unnoticed, or unrecognized. It's a shame.

Yeah. You know, I've never really thought about the night before. You're right about it going unnoticed.

Do you want to go outside. It's an amazing night.

Are you sure you're up to it?

For the night? I'm always up for it.

Raven floated out the door, with Beast Boy walking behind her. They stopped at the water's edge. They were both silent for a while.

Then, Beast Boy broke the silence. He muttered something, hoping that maybe Raven wouldn't hear him, but she did. She hear every word, and smiled.

I love you, too, she whispered in his ear.

Beast Boy's eyes lit up, as he looked down at the water, a little afraid to see Raven's face, but when he finally looked up, it was worth it.

Raven had the same shinning sapphire look in her eyes as she does when she's fighting. That sort of come and get me' look. but it was much softer, and much more inviting.

Raven came down from where she was hovering, landing a little shakily on her good foot, and fell into Beast Boy's lips. The kiss was long and passionate, but soon Raven lost her balance, and fell the the ground, but didn't hit completely, because Beast Boy caught her at the last second. She looked at him and smiled gently, but her eyes were a little hazy, and she looked ill, so they headed inside.

You're okay now, right? Beast Boy asked.

I'm fine. Actually, I've never been better.

Raven laid down and curled up next to Beast Boy on the couch. His body was gently and warm. In a second the both fell asleep. And Beast boy's wish came true. He did take away Raven's pain. She wasn't sore or in pain the whole night.
