--Chapter XI--

Disclaimers: I don't own Teen Titans.

(Cyborg's POV)

After Raven left, there was another resounding knock on the door. I sighed. Who was it now?

"Come in." I said convincingly while I felt ripped apart with Raven's problems. I hoped that it would be someone who wants to talk to him about the party. It had to be finished by now. But I sincerely hope that it wasn't Beast Boy who needed some advice, because I might just say something wrong to him about Raven and her insecurities.

But it was. Beast Boy was practically going through all emotion and I could tell he wanted to break down from the weight of all his problems.

"What's the matter, BB?" I said in the friendliest tone I could manage.

"Nothing much." Beast Boy sighed and said, "Man, I can't lie. Yeah, there's this huge problem."

"Come on, BB, tell your old pal Cy about it." I said, trying to hide the fact that I sort of knew what he was going to tell me.

"Listen, I told you I had feelings for Raven, right? Well… she's pretty mad at me right now. That's because I was such an idiot! I hugged Terra and I told her I forgave her for everything she's done to me and the Teen Titans. Then Raven saw it! She positively ran up to her room. And it's all my fault! So I came to her room and banged on her door, begging her to forgive me. When she wouldn't, I was determined not to be a chicken, so I came after Terra as she was leaving and I accidentally lost my temper with her. And now the two of them are mad at me. I'm so pathetic! What did I do wrong to deserve this, Cy?" Beast Boy told me desperately. He looked totally wrecked. He wasn't his usual bubbly, funny and corny self. This was the serious side of Beast Boy.

I was surprised to think that I could give my pal advice on his big dilemma. And I remembered all that Raven told me and confessed about Beast Boy. She was pretty devastated, too. I could remember her expression when I told her that she could also possibly love Beast Boy. And now I saw the connection between my two friends.

I felt guilty when I thought about my supposed "attraction" to Raven. It wouldn't work out, anyway. She was taken, and by my best buddy. I couldn't feel happier for the both of them. I realized then that I only thought of Raven like my sister and fellow teammate. I resolved to help my two friends.

"Cy, tell me what you think!" Beast Boy pleaded desperately.

"Well… for one thing… you know, BB, I've actually wanted to go on a heart-to-heart talk with you. And now we are. So I guess I'll just tell you what I think." I started, taking a deep breath. This wasn't so easy.

"…" I hesitated. Could I possibly tell Beast Boy that Raven was in love with him? 'Maybe I shouldn't. It might complicate things up, and if Beast Boy learned that, he might go wild.' I thought logically.

"It's a big dilemma," I said quietly. "I think you should really convince Raven that you don't want her to think bad of you. Since you're sincere about her, right?"

"Of course I am. I can't help admitting this, Cy… I think I might just be in love with her. She matters so much to me. I can't take her off my mind." He said wildly. He had really matured over his crush, which had turned to love.

"Yeah. I know you love her. Now all you need to do is prove it to her, I guess. You never know, she might feel the same too. She doesn't really let out her emotions but she might, just for you. After all, you already told her that you liked her."

"Yeah… I guess you're right. All I can do know is to hope that she'll forgive me." He sucked in his breath, a determined look on his face. "I'll do anything to make her forgive me. Anything," he said.

I was proud of my buddy. He was so determined and serious. Like I said, he had matured. And it was a purely big change.

"That's the spirit, BB. Never give up…" I told him.

"Thanks for the encouragement, Cy. I really appreciate it." He said modestly as he stood up to leave.

'There, Raven. I gave him the hope… I just hope you will forgive him.' I thought. I was now pretty sure that he could get Raven back. 'Go, BB. You can do it!'

A/N: That's done! Yay! Anyways… I hope you like it even if it's pretty short. Please review, thanks!
