This is my first Teen Titans fanfic (actually, it's my first fanfic... hehe.) so if it sucks, I apologize! Spare me! -bows- I'll try not to butcher the show too badly! Might make it a bit too angsty, but oh well. Angst and drama makes the world go round.

Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans in any shape, way, or form. I do own this story and plot and whatever. So yeah. Steal it and you'll have a bazillion people chasing after you with pitchforks, torches, and sporks. And meat loaf. Oh. You're scared now. I can tell. -cough- Anyways. Enjoy.

It had been nearly two weeks since the Earth had been saved.

Two weeks of freedom.

Raven stood alone on the roof of the Tower, the moonlight casting a soft glow on her dark features. The breeze toyed with her violet hair, her cloak swirling about her ankles. Emitting a small sigh, the girl sat down on the edge of the roof, her deep blue eyes staring out at the water.

Two weeks of freedom, and I don't feel any different.

How long was it going to take for her to finally figure out her emotions? How long would it be until she could finally hang out with her friends and enjoy life without having to worry about killing everyone around her?

She was usually a very patient person, but by now, she was getting a little irritated.

"Raven?"

The quiet voice was easy to recognize, so Raven didn't both to turn around. Glancing sideways as Beast Boy say next to her, she arched an eyebrow slightly. Wasn't he supposed to be the lazy one? What was he doing awake?

Not that she minded him being there or anything. It was just weird.

"You're up late," said she. Beast Boy shrugged a little and stretched his arms out, yawning. "Couldn't sleeeeeeeep," he said as he let out another yawn. "Since when can't you sleep?" Raven asked skeptically. "Did you take too long of an afternoon nap earlier or what?" "Ha ha, funny," Beast Boy gave her a playful glare, then looked out at the water.

"Actually... I was kind of worried about you."

Raven's eyes widened a little with surprise as she folded her arms across her chest, following his gaze out to the water. He was worried about her? Since when? More importantly, why? Her dark eyes traveled back to him, giving him a semi-curious look. Beast Boy grinned and blushed a little as he looked back over at her, reaching up with one gloved hand to scratch his head. "I mean, y-you know," he stuttered slightly, looking mildly embarrassed. "The whole Trigon thingy. You've just seemed kind of... I dunno." Raven's eyes narrowed at his words, forming a trademark Raven glare.

"I've seemed kind of what?"

Beast Boy visibly gulped, looking as though he wished he hadn't said anything at all. "Just..." he trailed off a bit, shrugging again. "Just kind of lost." Raven blinked once, watching him curiously.

Lost? What does he mean by that? Yeah, I've been confused, but that's a given. You don't just destroy the creature that's been haunting you for sixteen years and then leave the battle feeling perfectly normal.

"Are you okay?"

She snapped back to attention at Beast Boy's voice, and nodded her head a little, reaching up with one hand to brush a few strands of violet hair out of her dark eyes. "Yeah, fine," she muttered. She shrugged a bit as she folded one pale, bare leg over the other and looked back out at the moonlit waters. "You'll tell me if you need anything, right?" Beast Boy asked, concern lacing itself into his words.

Raven remained silent.

And Beast Boy couldn't help it.

"Come on, Raven!" he exploded. "When are you going to trust us enough to tell us things? I'm your friend! I just want to help you!" Raven turned to glare at him, her eyes narrowed threateningly as she stood up. "If I wanted you to know things, I would tell you." Her voice came out in a low growl, her eyes narrowing further as Beast Boy stood up as well, tilting his head up so he could glare at Raven.

"Why won't you tell us anything? What do you think we're going to do, make you the hot gossip topic?"

"Wouldn't be surprised if you did!"

"Raven, I won't tell anyone if you tell me something important!"

"Really? Just about everything comes out of that big mouth of yours."

"If it's something private, I'm not going to run around telling everyone!"

"I'm sure. You told Terra a lot of our secrets, if I remember correctly."

Oh, crap.

Raven's gaze dropped, trying to avoid the hurt look in Beast Boy's bright green eyes. Apologize, you idiot. He didn't deserve that.

Even if he had told Terra a lot of things.

When Raven looked back up, Beast Boy was walking back towards the stairwell that lead to the inside of the Tower. She wanted to reach out to him, call him, ask him to come back, but for some reason, she couldn't. So she merely watched as her friend disappeared inside their home before she turned to look back out at the ocean.

I have to be the biggest idiot to ever walk the face of the Earth.

Beast Boy shook his head, reaching up with one hand to massage his forehead. "Stupid, stupid, stupid," he muttered as he made his way back to his room. Why couldn't he ever talk to her without messing up? As he reached his room he slammed his fist against the button, causing the door to slide open with a hiss. As it shut behind him, Beast Boy transformed into a sparrow and fluttered to the top bunk, then quickly shifted into his human form as he collaped on the bed, his emerald eyes staring up at the ceiling.

Way to go, Gar. You just couldn't keep your big mouth shut, could you? She didn't have to bring up Terra, though. Maybe I deserved it, but still.

He groaned and rolled over onto his stomach, kicking his shoes off onto the floor of his dwelling.

Why couldn't he talk to her the way he did to everyone else?

To the rest of his friends, or whenever they were around, he was just a goof. A total dork. And he knew it.

But around Raven... he just seemed to always screw things up.

Letting out a frustrated sigh, he thumped his pillow, his eyes glued to the wall in front of him. Why do I always act like such an idiot when I'm around her? he thought, gritting his teeth together. You're such a lady's man, Gar. Yelling at them always makes them swoon.

Ha. And yet I always wonder why Robin gets all the girls. Maybe because he doesn't spaz out like I do.

He wasn't quite sure why he was asking himself all of these questions. He already knew the answer. He didn't want to admit it, or acknowledge it, but he was pretty sure he knew why he kept messing up every time he was near Raven.

She's not like Terra.

His feelings towards her might be the same as the blond girl, but for some reason, he couldn't act the same way around Raven as he did around Terra. Or, as he had.

That was really the only question he didn't have the answer to.

Shifting restlessly in his bed, he sat up as he heard a soft sliding noise coming from the hall. Raven had probably gone back to her room. He flopped back down on his bed, one arm dangling over the edge of the mattress as he shut his eyes, rehearsing what to say the next time the two were alone.

"Sorry for being an idiot. I really like you, and I hope that you'll forgive me for always being so stupid."

Even if you could be a bit less of a royal jerk.

Letting out a strangled groan, Beast Boy rolled over on his side, running one hand through his hair. "Gah," he muttered, pursing his lips.

Crap, crap, crap.

This majorly, majorly sucks.

And I'm the biggest idiot to ever walk the face of the Earth.
