--Chapter X--

A/N: Another chapter! Guess what, no more Beast BoyxTerra involved! So good news for all of you who positively hate Terra. Anyways, this fic will have 15 chapters… okay, here's a hint for this chapter, there's someone here who will act really strangely. I mean, like, he or she is not acting like his or her usual self. This chapter is kind of short, by the way, but I hope you will enjoy it.

Disclaimers: I don't own Teen Titans.

(Raven's POV)

Great. Just great. Now I've just sent Beast Boy away, and I think he won't ever speak to me again. This was supposed to be good, right? After all, that was what I felt about him in the first place: Prankster, someone who doesn't give a damn about other people's feelings, and so immature. This was what he deserved, right?

And I had to admit that it was pretty insensitive of him to show up at my door, begging for forgiveness. He was the one who hurt me—I had a good reason why I didn't want to show my feelings.

So, then, why did part of me want to forgive him? Why did I feel that I didn't want to see him hurt like that? Wasn't that only what lovers felt? But if that summed it all up… it didn't make any sense. I may like Beast Boy, but I don't need or WANT to show my feelings, especially to him. But that dance with him… I had enjoyed it… and the time when he confessed that he liked me… that was real, right?

So what on earth was I supposed to do now? I'm not an expert on these things. They're so complicated. I know that I should just sit down, meditate, and forget about the whole thing, but the more I kept shoving the topic at the back of my mind, the more it resurfaced. It was totally unbearable.

'I need to talk to someone… someone who knows about both of our feelings…' I thought. 'That's it! Cyborg… He knows about all this!' I realized.

There was my solution… and it was there all along.

(Cyborg's POV)

Another knock on my door. I got up to answer it, and to my surprise, of all the people to come to my room, it was Raven. What could she possibly need from me?

But I couldn't say no to any damsel in distress, even if I knew Raven was capable of protecting herself.

"Hi, Raven." I said.

"Cyborg. Um, listen. I need to talk about this… I don't know what to do about it." Her voice was quivering, and it seemed like she wanted to release her feelings and just break down.

"Um, sure. Go spill." He said.

"Well, I thought that, since you knew about what Beast Boy feels for me… I was wondering if you could help me figure out my feelings for him." She started.

I let her continue. "…I kind of like him too." She blurted quietly. "During the party… he danced with me… he made me feel like I was special. And sparks shot through my body… it's not like anything I've ever felt before."

I opened my mouth to speak but she went on. "Is that love? I've heard so many things about it… they say love brings you pain and sorrow, yet it makes you happy. But love can't be sorrow and happiness at the same time. I don't understand any of this." She half-whispered. She looked bewildered, and I have rarely seen her like this. She was usually the calm sort of person who never panicked in times of caution.

But since she did come to me for help, there was nothing I could do but answer her. "Yeah. That's what love means. It's pretty hard to understand, but—" I paused for effect—"I think you love Beast Boy, too."

Raven's expression changed into something neutral. But I could tell that deep inside, her clouds of confusion were cleared. "I see. But I asked him if he was over Terra. But they're obviously going back together, from what I've seen a while ago."

"Hmm… yeah. But I don't think BB likes her that way, ya know? I think he likes you. I know my bud. He may be a little bubbly sometimes, but deep down he knows what he feels, and where his sensitivity is. That's Beast Boy." I told Raven.

She still remained neutral. I couldn't tell if her emotions were spilling out or if she had no reaction to what I said. I continued, "Anyways, would you like me to tell him for you?"

"No. No thanks… I think I'll have to figure out what to tell him." She stood up.

"But I'm just gonna talk to him for you, you know, a heart-to-heart talk." I explained.

"What kind of heart-to-heart talk?"

"Well… I'm gonna make sure that he really does like you, Raven. You know…" I asked her for her approval.

Raven thought for a moment. "Um, okay. Sure. I guess I'll just leave it to you, Cyborg. Thanks." She said.

And with that, she left the room without another word.

A/N: Yeah, REALLY short. I guess Chapter 11 will be sort of short too, but I don't think Chapter 12 will be. Anyways… I hope you enjoyed, and please review. Thanks!
