Chapter 6: In Your Eyes.

I lie on the bed in the medical bay, just starring into Raven's eyes. She just stands there, gazing into mine from across the room. Neither of us know what to say. She does not know what she should do, but I do. The moment she said my name, my worries and confusion went away. I knew exactly what I had to do.

I reluctantly pull my gaze away from her eyes, and concentrate on removing the various medical devices attached to my body. As I do, each monitor begins to give off an annoying, continuous sound. With that job done, I return my gaze to Raven's beautiful eyes.

She isstill just standing there. I know she is too shocked and overwhelmed with happiness to move. I slowly move my feet to the ground. I'm now sitting on the bed, as well as in a tremendous amount of pain from my sudden movement. I don't care about the pain, though. The happiness in Raven's eyes is enough to make me mostly forget about the pain. Mostly.

I slowly struggle to my feet, keeping one hand against the wall next to me for support. I give Raven another smile before I begin to slowly walk towards her. The pain increases with each step, until I can no longer bear it. I collapse to one knee just a few feet from my destination. My sudden cries of pain snap Raven out of her trance.

"Beast Boy," she cries before rushing to my aid. She kneels down, and helps me return to my feet.

"Thank you, Raven," I say asmy eyes once again meet hers.

She says nothing. Instead, she continues to gaze into my eyes. Only a foot separates us. All is silent until she speaks.

"Why did you do it?"

"Do what?" I ask quite confused.

"Get up. You looked like you were in a lot of pain."

"I was," I smile at her, "but it was the only way I could get to you."

Raven's eyes widen in shock when I said that. I take this opportunity to gaze into them deeper. I believe that someone's eyes are a gateway into their very soul. Looking into Raven's eyes, I can see two things, hope and fear. I guess that she is hoping that I meant what I said in the way I know that she wants me to. I know that she is afraid that her hopes are unfounded. They are, though. I want to tell her, and I will.

"Raven, a lot has happened in such a short time. During that time, I learned a lot about everyone. While I was in a coma, I could hear everything going on around me."

Raven's eyes grew even wider. The only thing I could see in them now was fear.

"I heard how hard everyone worked to save me, I heard everyone pay their last respects to me, and I heard… you. I heard you cry. I heard how you really felt about my jokes." I lean closer to her and whisper into her ear, "I heard you say that you love me."

Raven was afraid. I could see it in her eyes, even though she now refused to look at me. She lowered her head. I could tell that she was ashamed of what she had done. She was ashamed of what she had said. She was afraid that I might mock her. I could see all of these tings in her eyes. If she only knew what I was going to do.…

I placed my hand under her chin. I gently raised her head so that her eyes returned to mine. I slowly close the gap between us. I know that all of her fears and doubts disappeared when I kissed her, because she kissed me back.

'I was right,' I think. 'This is heaven.'

We were together for what seemed like an eternity. Neither of us wanted to pull away, but eventually, the need for air overpowered our need for each other. I look into her eyes and admire how beautiful they are up close.

"I love you, Raven," I softly say as I pull her closer to me.

"I love you too, Beast Boy," Raven says before pulling me into another kiss. "I love you too."

I smile at her, and hug her tightly to me. Everything is okay. Everything is perfect. Well… almost everything. I look in the direction of the doorway. "You can come in now."

Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg slowly walked into the room. They each share the same confused expression on their faces.

"How did you know we were there?" Robin asked.

"Well," I began, "I remembered that you said that Cyborg had linked his systems with the monitors monitoring me. I figured that since all the monitors are now flat-lining, Cyborg would take notice. I was surprised when he never rushed into the room. I guessed that he was, until he saw me alive. I figured that he woke all of you up, and knowing what kind of person he is, decided to spy on my moment of happiness with Raven.

"Wow," Cyborg says stunned. "And I thought Robin was the detective of the team."

I smile at each of their dumbfounded expressions. "It's good to see you all again."

"Beast Boy," Raven says, trying to get my attention, "do you want to go get some breakfast?"

"I'd love to, Raven," I reply smiling. "I'd love to."

THE END

I hope all of you enjoyed my second fan fic. I really enjoyed writing this one. I hope I see all of those who reviewed again for my next fic.
