The presence came closer, She sensed the tension coming off of it in waves. With a sudden lurch the presence moved in the opposite direction. Raven reached forward with her mind tracking it until it reached Beastboy's room. Realizing who was behind that tense presence caused a strange reaction. The shelf next to Raven exploded sending shards of ceramic shrapnel throughout the room.

Raven's eyes snapped open feeling the stings of the many splinters of ceramic that had dug into her skin. With a sigh she began to repair the damage that had been done to her body. She had been affected this way whenever she thought of Beastboy,(A pillow exploded on the other side of the room.) since he had saved her life. She had tried to suppress the emotions running rampant through her, but one of them, no matter how strong her will was, refused to be shoved away into some dark corner of her mind.

Love.

Such an emotion was denied to her by her very nature. With the demonic energies within her, her emotions were as dangerous as a nuclear bomb. Had it not been for her self control she probably would have destroyed half the city by now, but no matter how good she was at contolling her thoughts he would continuously appear in them throughout the day. Since the day when they had sat on the rocks together she had taken to spending all her time in her room meditating. Without it she would have lost control a long time ago.

With a sudden insight she headed toward the one place she could let her guard down without destroying something.

Her mind.

Down the hall in somebody else's bedroom sat a very miserable green elf. "Oh God, Why can't I just tell her." He began to slam his head repeatedly against a wall. "OW, note to self don't do that." Beastboy began to shake his head when he noticed a picture on the wall of his bedroom. It was the first time that he had taken a good look at it in a long time. It was a picture of the first day after the official formation of the Teen Titans. The people in it were having a big dinner on the island before they went into their new home. He remembered like it was yesterday...

The sun was shining brightly on the picnic like dinner. The Titans were standing around getting to know each other. Beastboy and Cyborg were having an arguement about meat. (Big surprise) Starfire and Robin were talking to each other about Earth customs.

Starfire quickly leaned in and gave Robin a quick peck on each cheek. "There I believe I have that tradition correct, do I not?" She asked Robin who at the moment was trying to hide a deep scarlet blush.

"er, Actually that's a French Custom." Robin replied after finally getting control of his blush.

Beastboy had looked around at his new teammates. He noticed the dark goth like girl sitting on a rock apart from the rest of the team. He moved closer to her until he finally sat down next to her. "Hi, I'm Beastboy what's your name?" He asked nervously. As she turned to face him his heart almost stopped beating, sitting next to him was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen.

"My name is Raven, please leave now."

With a sudden flash of inspiration he turned into a deep green raven and quickly returning to normal he squawked to the best of his ability. "NEVERMORE." He waited for the laugh he knew was coming. It wasn't until he looked up that he saw the glare that she gave him. "Uh, so why aren't you talking to the others?" he asked trying to think of what he had done to offend her.

"I am here to fight crime, not socialize." She levitated her body off the rock and went into the tower.

That day he had thought he had ruined any chance he had with her, but as time went on she did start to do things with the Titans. However she always treated Beastboy like a second class citizen.

"It's my own fault really." He sighed to himself. "I screwed up and now, at the most, she might be my friend." Quiet sobs could be heard from maybe a foot away and no more. He slowly sat on his bed and drifted off to sleep, with the stains becoming quite obvious on his pillow.

Hope you liked it. I sure enjoyed writing this chapter a lot more than the previous one.
