Whoa! Well, it seems I shall continue..

Chapter 2

Beast Boy dropped the razor blade in his hand and wrapped his arm around Raven. She was holding him tighter than anyone else had. He lifted his head up and looked at her cloak; it was covered in his tears.

"Why is she crying?" he thought. "Rae…" he tried to say something else, but he could only uttered her name. He was too tired physically, mentally, and emotionally to go any further.

Raven lifted her head and looked in to his tear-filled green eyes. "Why? Why would you want to end it? I should be the one who…"

He silence her by raising his hand and shaking his head. "Rae… every time I hurt you I.." he showed her his forearm, the sleeve was pulled up and she could see faint light green scars. "… I hurt myself.."

"Gar…" Raven couldn't say anything. She was also wondering why her powers didn't react and destroy the room or the whole tower for her great display of emotion.

"It's a way to scold myself I guess. As a 'this wasn't funny, look what you did to her.' And it seemed it had no purpose as you continued to hurt me.. I was getting double the pain… but I guess that has no meaning to us anymore…"

"What do you mean?"

"Rae, I know that in your past terrible things have happened; but you stay strong.. You're an inspiration to me. To show me that I can keep going on. I've lost everything, but because of you; I can remain happy. It's because I live to make you happy… but… if I can't then I have no reason to go on.." Beast Boy dropped his head and stared at his wrists. They were locks to his afterlife; blades were the key.

"Garfield… I have something to show you." Raven removed a glove and pulled up a sleeve, revealing scars of her own. "I never wanted to cause you pain.. I just get my emotions tangled and the wrong ones come out.. It's hard not even to be able to test and try them… Don't think I don't care Garfield, I do. I started to like you when you went in my mind, I wanted to get closer to you after Terra, and I wanted to love and be with you sense that damn dragon, Malcior.. I love you, Gar. I can't lose you." After confessing, she hugged him tightly and did something she thought she could never do. She kissed him. The kiss was soft and brief, but it was what bound there hearts.

Beast Boy wrapped both arms around her and returned the kiss. "Rave… I love you too. I won't leave you.."

Raven felt his hands leave her back and the next sound she heard was ripping paper. Her eyes lit up when she saw a very small smile on his lips.

"I can't and I won't.." he placed his arms around her waist and gently laid them both down. "Don't leave me tonight Rae.."

"I won't.." She placed her hand behind his head and pulled him close, kissing him once more. "I can't.."

They both smiled softly and in a while, they were asleep.

Awaking in his arms, Raven was met with his trademark grin.

"Hey Rae. Mornin' "

She gave a smile small. "Good morning. Nice to see you normal again."

"Well there's one thing different this morning…"

"What?"

"This." He kissed her softly and pulled away.

"Why'd you stop?" she was slightly annoyed

"I didn't know what your powers could do.."

Raven smiled "There not going to do anything as long as I'm with the one I love." She moved in and gave him a kiss, then without warning her tongue was in his mouth.

"Oh, dude…" were his only thoughts as his eyes rolled back. When she withdrew, he looked at her dreamily saying "Whoa… sweet."

She gave a warm smile before kissing his forehead and getting up.

"Wait, where are you going?"

"I need a shower and your room doesn't have a bathroom."

"Ok, but please hurry."

"You got it."

As she left, Beast Boy realized what a fool he was before. A fool for what he did and for not being able to notice things sooner. He closed his eyes and smiled, thinking of her. Robin walked by and stood in his open doorway.

"Hey BB"

"Hmm?" He didn't want to open his eyes or lose concentration over his mental image of her.

"I'm glad you two are together…"

"What?" his eyes jutted open and he turned his head quickly to his leader.

"I saw you two last night. Your door was open."

"Aw dude.."

"Don't worry, only me and Star know; and Cyborg probably wouldn't bother you about it."

"Thanks."

He smiled and nodded as he left.

Beast Boy placed his arms on the back of his head and fell back on his bed.

"I won't be goin' home yet. I've found my angel here.."

After her shower, Raven got dressed and went to the kitchen for herbal tea. There, she found Beast Boy alone at the table; he had gotten a shower too and was dressed in a fresh, clean uniform. "Hey Rae!" he called she walked beside him and he stood helping her with her seat.

"Manners? Who knew?... sorry" She was worried she would offend him again, but instead he smiled and whispered in her ear

"That's not all I can do.."

Raven blushed slightly. "A little fast are we?"

"Huh?... Rae! Get your mind out of the gutter. I meant I also cleaned my room, for once, and I was wondering if you would like to go out tonight."

"He cleaned his room? Whoa, he really likes me." "Sure."

"Great! How's eight?"

"Sounds good to me."

"Thank you." He kissed her cheek. "Thank you for giving me a purpose."

"Thank you for letting me love." "And for making me glad I was born."

"Same here…"

"You just read my thoughts!"

"Yeah, I guess we rub off on each other.."

Before the conversation could go any further, the alarm went off.

"Damn crime…"

(Thanks to everyone! Y'all are great! Tha rating might change, I like lots of useless, crude cussin'. BB and Rae forever! I'm out.)
