A/N: ok, I did want beautiful to be a one-shot, but all you reviewer peoples asked so nicely, and I felt warm and fuzzy inside, so I am going to try my best to write more. Hopefully these following chapters will be good enough for you guys. If all the other reviewers on my other one-shot asked this nicely... -sighs and shakes head-
Anyone, who liked this story as a one-shot, you can pretend that these are two different stories if you want ok? The first chapter can be like, a one-shot prologue type thingy, and this is an entirely different thing that started out the same! :)
Please read and review!

Chapter 1
It was movie night. Beast Boy's favorite. And they were watching a video that he picked out! One that he'd been waiting for to come out for only forever!!
As they sat down and put the tape in, Beast Boy looked over at Raven, sitting all by herself in a corner. He felt a small fluttering in his heart as he observed her, curled up and reading a book. She seemed so fragile. Ever since he'd first seen her, he'd felt attracted to not only her dark mysteriousness, but also her delicateness. He felt that there were conflicts beyond her beautiful, passive appearance. She pushed away attention, yet Beast Boy found her seeking it with that very action. She was an enigma that he wanted to figure out, but was going insane with the trying and want.
/I'm finding my way back to sanity again
Though I don't really know what
I'm going to do when I get there/
At the moment, though, he was content just to watch her. Observe her. She seemed so very sad today. She always did, but especially so today. Her delicate fingers turned the page and he took in the grace with which she always seemed to move.
He felt the others sit down around him. The movie was starting and Beast boy tore his gaze away and trained it on the television screen. The others followed suit. Raven, however, was disgruntled and protested. Beast boy, realizing that no one had reacted, opened his mouth to explain the wonderfulness of the new release, but was cut off by Raven.
"I'm going to my room," she stated bitterly, but again, there was no reaction fro the others as she swept away.
"Hey, you guys? Is Raven ok?" Beast boy asked in confusion at this, poking Cyborg in the ribs.
"Huh, what? Oh, yeah Raven? Don't worry, she's just like that."
Suddenly, the wonderfulness of the movie, didn't seem all that great to Beast Boy anymore. His mind kept wandering back to Raven, and how sad and defeated she'd seemed when she left. Telling the others that he didn't feel well and was going to the bathroom, he got up and went up to his room. Stepping into the green colored space, he stood for a moment, thinking, then, crossing over to his desk, he slipped on a small sheet of paper, and began to write.
Dear Raven,
I noticed that you seemed kinda down- more so than usual. Are you ok? If you need to talk, I'm totally here for you. No strings attached. No need to rush either. You can come talk to me about anything, if you need it, whenever you're ready.
Love,
Beast Boy
He paused for a moment, wondering what Raven would think if nothing really was up. He'd probably be doomed, so he added:
P.S. Sorry to bother you. Please don't kill me!
Satisfied, he smiled and folded it. As he walked nervously down the hall to Raven's room, he thought over what he was doing. Why was he doing it, and was it really something he wanted to do? He thought he heard faint sobs from beyond the door, and his heart melted inside him. He'd probably be made to regret it later, but it was ok. Because if Raven really might need the note, he could not bring himself back out. Decision made, he took a final, deep breath, and slid the note under her door.
/Take a breath and hold on tight
Spin around one more time
And gracefully fall back to the arms of Grace/
Beast Boy turned around to go. He had only taken a few steps when he figured that if Raven really did want to talk, he should be there for her. And if she didn't want to talk, it wouldn't hurt, so he walked back and sat down outside her door. If she said anything, he'd listen, whatever she said, good or bad.
/'Cause I am hanging on every word you say
And even if you don't want to speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me/
Feeling content, Beast Boy relaxed. His eyes slid closed and his breathing slowed. He was asleep in a matter of minutes.
/'Cause I want nothing more than to sit
Outside your door and listen to you breathing
Is where I want to be/
The peaceful scene stayed that way for a while. Beast boy slept on in silence. He never realized when the door slid open and Raven slipped out.
/'Cause I am hanging on every word you say
And even if you don't want to speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me
'Cause I want nothing more than to sit
Outside heaven's door and listen to you breathing
Is where I want to be/
"Beast Boy?"
A/N: I know it was not as good as the first chapter and kinda short-ish, but I still hope you all review and stick around and read the next chapter when I write it! Lol. And if anyone's offended by how I use these songs to mean stuff they actually don't, sorry, but please don't mind it.
