A/N: Thanks for your reviews! Although, I feel the need to address a review I got in public.

In case no one noticed, I'm writing my story how I want to write it. I don't appreciate being told what to put in my story, paticularly not by someone who can't spell words correctly and wants my story to be a giant orgy.
That flame upset me quite a bit and messed with my mind, so I had some trouble with this chapter. Sorry if it didn't turn out too well.
Disclaimer: I do not claim Teen Titans. I disclaim it. Hence, the disclaimer.
Summary: Beast boy is bored. He decides to read a book, which turns out to be Raven's Diary... BBRae
Chapter 12
Beast Boy panicked.
"Oh my god!" Beast Boy yelped, clutching at Love. "She's going to kill me! Hide me! Quick! Get me out of here!"
Brave leapt up. "I'll protect you!" she announced, going over to Beast Boy.
Rage laughed a cold, cruel laugh at Brave's foolishness. "As much as I'd love to see a fight, we all know that Raven would never hurt Beast Boy on purpose," she smirked, her four eyes gleaming.
"Why wouldn't she hurt me?" Beast Boy asked, confused.
"Because she loves you, you dope. That's why she let you in her room, why she flipped out at Overload, and why she didn't hurt you when she knew you'd read her diary. You should know that by now, moron," Rudeness droned, pausing to scratch her armpit occasionally.
"How should I know that?" Beast Boy asked.
"It was in her diary," Sarcasm remarked. "Far be it from you to actually remember something useful."
Rage shushed Sarcasm, and said, "Raven's almost here! Get ready for the action!"
"Shit," Beast Boy muttered, as Raven stormed up to him.

"Trust Beast Boy to leave my mirror under the bed," Raven fumed, as she finally located her mirror, after much searching. "Here we go!"Raven entered her mirror, traveling through the mystical red and black tunnel, and landed in a slump on the ground. When she stood up and straightened herself out, she noticed Timid was standing at her feet.
"Timid? Why aren't you at the council?" Raven asked, brushing her cloak out. "There is a council, right?"
"Yes," Timid said. "But I slipped away. No one ever notices anyway."
"Why'd you leave?" Raven asked, curious.
"Beast Boy met the newbie, Rejection, so he knew how you felt. There was no further need of a council. Plus, I wanted to talk to you," Timid finished quietly.
"Why do you want to talk to me?" Raven inquired, as she started walking in the direction of the council.
"To make a plea for Beast Boy. Raven, he's only human. He made a mistake just like the best of us do. Give him a chance to redeem himself," Timid said, falling into step alongside Raven.
"Why are you telling me this? Aren't you supposed to be timid in approaching confrontations?" Raven asked.
"I like Beast Boy. He's nice," Timid said quietly. "I'm petrified that you are going to yell at me right now, but sometimes you have to take a risk to get what you want."
"Good point," Raven said, as the council came into view.
"You'd best go back to the council now, Timid," Raven whispered through the side of her mouth. "You don't want to get caught."
Timid nodded, and vanished into the ground.
Raven looked at the council again, and seeing Beast Boy clutching at Love, felt fury fill her again. Timid's wise words flew out of her head, and she stormed towards Beast Boy.

"You low-lifed, sadistic, ignorant, cruel, inutile blockhead!" Raven yelled, storming up to Beast Boy. "You're lucky I can express my emotions safely here, or you'd be toast!"
"Raven-" Beast Boy started, but Raven interrupted.
"No! You listen to me for once now!" she fumed.
"I let you into my room, my sanctuary, so you could find entertainment. You violated my privacy by reading my diary. Then, you came downstairs to toss the fact in my face, and you didn't even pay me the courtesy of apologizing or telling me how you felt! I don't even know why I like you! I don't know why I put up with you!" Raven's yells turned to cries, tears streaming down her face, as Beast Boy stood before her. As Raven stood there, crying, she caught a glimpse of Timid watching her carefully.
Remembering Timid's wise words, Raven took a deep breath, and slowly let it out, trying to regain a grip on her emotions.
'Sometimes you have to take a risk to get what you want...' Timid's words echoed through Raven's head, as Raven decided to do something she had never done willingly before: expose herself.
Raven took a deep breath, and said brokenly, "Beast Boy, you've read my diary, you've talked to my emotions, you've seen me at my weakest. I'm real; I feel things too. You know how I feel towards you. Now, please just tell me what you want. If you want me to leave you alone, I will. Just please, Beast Boy, don't leave me in the dark again."
Raven collapsed on her knees, feeling weak from crying, and exposing herself so vulnerably to someone. Silent sobs wracked her body, as she cried all her pain out.
Warm arms suddenly wrapped around her, and held her. Raven looked up, as she felt Beast Boy lift her up, and place her on his lap, holding her.
Raven cried as Beast Boy rubbed her back and held her, whispering to her that everything was going to be okay. She nuzzled her tear-streaked face into his chest as he soothed her while she cried. She cried all her pain out, and Beast Boy held her, while her emotions silently looked on.
Slowly but surely, Raven calmed down. She looked at Beast Boy, and whispered, "Thanks. I know you didn't want to do that."
Beast Boy smiled gently, and turned Raven's face towards him. "Are you kidding?" he asked softly. "I'd do anything for you, Rae."
Raven's breath caught in her throat, and her heart leapt with renewed hope, as he continued.
"I'm sorry I invaded your privacy. I just wanted to know what you thought of me. The truth is, I've liked you for a long time now, Raven, but I just didn't know what to do about."
A gentle smile played around Beast Boy's lips, as he whispered quietly, "But I have an idea of what I can do about it now," as he leaned in and pressed his lips to hers.
Raven's eyes fluttered shut. She moved to embrace Beast Boy as they kissed each other tenderly, each clearly lost in the moment. Their lips moved against each other, dancing silently, proclaiming the love between the two teens.
A collective "Awww..." went up from the emotions, as the couple kissed each other lovingly. Finally, they pulled away from each other slightly, a smile playing on their lips.
"That's what I've wanted for a very long time," Beast Boy whispered, his eyes looking into Raven's.
"You're not the only one who wanted that," Raven whispered back, as the two kissed again.
.o0o.o0o.o0o.
Fluff :) Sadly, the end of my story is in sight. I'll probably write another one soon, seeing as I had a blast writing this one.
Please, review considerately. And don't forget to give me ideas for how Raven could get revenge on Beast Boy. I have major writer's block for that part.
Hint to come: The other Titans find out about BB and Raven!
