Constructive criticism and ideas are welcome.

Chapter One

"You think you're alone Raven, but your not." is all that she could think about as she lie in bed. Beast Boy had spoken those words to her hours earlier and still she couldn't shake them. With the events of the past week she had let her emotions loose more than she should have. After being betrayed by Malchior and then hearing these words from Beast Boy she had done something extremely out of character for her, she hugged Beast Boy.

Raven, queen of the emotionless had actually hugged someone. She was not forced, persuaded, or tricked into doing so either, but nor was it done completely on purpose. It was almost by accident except that she did not regret doing it one bit. Even though she had not meant to, this small show of emotion was an honest and pure reflex to what he had said. He accepted her for who she was whether she was creepy or not. Beast Boy actually cared for her. With this thought she slowly drifted off to sleep, but on the other end of the tower another Titan attempted sleep as well but with no such success.

Tossing and turning on his top bunk, Beast Boy had a lot on his mind. He could not stop thinking about the hug Raven had given him. He had had a crush on her ever since the Titans first met, at least that was until Terra showed up. She made him forget all about it and even after she had betrayed them he had not thought about Raven in this way. But now those forgotten feelings were coming back. He then wondered if they had ever really gone away. He began to think about the times he and Terra were together and realized that in the back of his mind Raven was still there.

The first time Terra had lost control of her powers he held her to calm her down. He then remembered the first time that Raven lost control and the adventure that had followed. Then when he and Terra went to the seaside amusement park he remembered the time he had won a four foot plush chicken for Raven and her sarcastic "luckiest girl in the world" remark. At the time he had just disregarded these thoughts as event triggered memories and nothing more, but had they been more than that.

He did not know what to think. Since Terra he had buried his emotions, at least the ones that made him care about her. Now those same emotions came flooding back over him yet they were different than before. He had cared for Terra but in retrospect it was because she was the first girl to ever really show an interest in him and think he was funny. How he felt about Raven was different. She never really seemed to like him and definitely did not think he was funny. However he still cared for her but he doubted that she felt anything for him.

He looked down at his alarm clock, "Oh Man, 3:13" he thought. He knew he had to get some sleep but his troubled mind would not allow it. "Maybe if I go and check on her and make sure that she is alright I will be able to get some rest" he said to himself. So he got out of bed and headed out of his room wearing his green and black cheetah pajamas. As he got closer to her room he began to second-guess himself. "Man, what am I doing? I can't just knock on her door at three in the morning." When he reached her door he put his ear to it but could hear nothing. "She must be asleep, of course she is idiot." he thought. "Well I guess I should go back to bed." But he knew he would still not be able to sleep, unless he could at least see that she was all right. So before he really knew what he was doing he changed into a spider and crawled under her door. Once he was in her room he got nervous. "If she knew I was in here while she was asleep she would kill me." But this did not stop him from changing into a fly and venturing further into the dark depressing realm of the lavender haired girl.

There on the far side of the room lay Raven, asleep in her large bed. He could not believe that he was doing this but nor could he stop himself as he landed on a pile of ancient books near the bed. Here he would have a good vantage from which to safely view her. She was so beautiful, even though she would never have thought so herself. As the moonlight shown in threw the giant hole in her ceiling, he was completely taken in by her gorgeous pale grey face that was perfectly framed by her lavender hair. As he gazed upon her, the ruby gemstone gleaming on her forehead drew his attention, but only because her eyes were softly closed shut. Though she was incredibly beautiful from head to toe, her eyes were definitely her most striking feature. They were almost the same lavender as her hair but somehow deeper and purer in color.

He found himself wishing they were open now, so he could look into them. But then he realized that would be a death sentence for sure. There is no way he would survive her discovering him in her room even if she did happen to care for him, which he was certain that she didn't. As soon as he had finished this thought, Raven rolled on her side and whispered "Beast Boy." With this he almost had a heart attack, and then she continued, "Thank You, Beast Boy." He realized that she was dreaming but he couldn't believe he was in her dream. Out of the fear of her waking and squashing him into a tiny fly pancake he made his way back to the door. As he reached the door he looked back at her one more time and saw a small smile of contentment shine upon her face. If flies could smile he would have.

He then became a spider once more and began to head back to his room. As he walked he morphed back to his human form, with a very concerned and confused look on his face. He could not help but wonder to himself what she could be dreaming of. At first he started to imagine some scary scenario, this would be expected in the Goth girls mind. "No wait, she looked happy and thanked ME for something." He then began to picture some overly romantic scene with Raven and himself at the center. "YEAH RIGHT!" He unintentionally screamed. He remembered what time it was and scurried into his room, praying that no one heard him. But someone did!
