You Are My Sunshine
Chapter 2

"TERRA!"

Raven's eyes shot open, snapping her out of her dreamless sleep. She turned onto her side, her dark purple hair spilling over her pillow. She glanced at the gray alarm clock sitting on the shelf opposite her bed, reading the Roman numerals painted onto its face. "6:45" She read silently to herself. "Beast Boy, what are you doing up at this hour?" Raven wondered. She easily recognized the voice that had woken her up, anyone who had known Beast Boy for two minutes would have. She knew that crackly, high-pitched voice anywhere.

Raven wearily got herself up from her bed and put on her midnight blue cloak while walking over to her door. She opened it as silently as she could. This was an art that she had acquired from waking up early in the morning herself. It was the only time of the day when she could be alone and people wouldn't bother her. She moved carefully down the hall, almost gliding, toward Beast Boy's door. Both of their rooms were on the same floor, something that she constantly begged Robin to change. Sometimes Beast Boy's sleep-talking and snoring kept her up all night.

As Raven walked down the hall, she passed Terra's door, whose room was right between her and Beast Boy's. After the former Titan's 'death' the other Titans saw no more need for the room, so they were going to turn it into another workout room, before Beast Boy protested. Raven recalled that day as if it were yesterday. The truth was, the Titans didn't really need a new workout room, it was just that Terra was too painful a memory, that everyone wanted to forget her. Everyone but Beast Boy, that is. Robin had made a deal with Beast Boy, that they would keep the room preserved as long as he could find one other Titan who thought it was a good idea. It seemed an impossible task, since everyone seemed so determined to forget, but Beast Boy didn't give up.

:Flashback:

Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg walked away, leaving Beast Boy standing in front of Terra's door protectively. He had a look of hopelessness on his face. Raven turned and began to walk away with the other Titans toward the main room, when she felt Beast Boy's gloved hand on her shoulder, pulling her back.

"Raven!" Raven turned her head, to see Beast Boy up in her face. "You've got to help me!"

"Does personal space mean anything to you?" Raven said, pushing Beast Boy back at least two feet away from her.

"Raven, please! Robin's going to turn Terra's room into a workout room if I don't do something! And we don't even need a new workout room!" He seemed so distressed, Raven didn't even bother to make a sarcastic remark and walk away. Instead she stayed, for some reason, to listen to him rant. Raven sighed.

"What do you want?" She said in her monotonous tone.

"OK, I need you to side with me! Please! I know how you try to hide it sometimes, but I know you miss her too! She was your friend, Rae! Are you honestly going to stand there and let the others turn her room into a stupid… useless… stupid workout room?" Beast Boy struggled with his words for a minute and recovered as well as he could.

"Uhh…" Raven didn't know what to say. What he had said was true, but she wasn't going to admit that. She wanted to erase Terra from her mind, as well as the others, but she couldn't just see Beast Boy alone against such impossible odds. Usually, she loved to see him suffering, that was part of their twisted friendship, but this just wasn't fair. Before she knew it, Beast Boy was on his knees, tugging at her cloak and looking up at her with those puppy eyes of his.

"Raven, pleeeeeeeeeeeeease?" He said in the whiniest tone he could muster. "I know I can trust you, and this means so much to me!"

"I can see that. Get up." Raven said without breaking her stoic state. She grabbed Beast Boy's elbow and hoisted him up from the floor.

"So you'll help me?" He said, a smile a mile wide crossing his face. He brought his hands up in a praying position and looked hopefully at Raven.

"I guess so." Raven said after a long pause and a weary sigh.

"YES! THANK YOU SO MUCH, RAE!" Beast Boy said, flying at her and grabbing her in a bear hug. Raven went stiff.

"You're hugging me." She said in a tone that made Beast Boy back off instantly.

"Heh… Sorry. I'm going to the main room. See you there!" He said, running down the hall.

Raven stood there, watching him turn the corner. She tried to pretend she was relieved that he wasn't groveling at her anymore, but she couldn't help but feel glad that what she had done made him so much happier.

:End Flashback:

Robin held true to his word, and, sure enough, Terra's room was preserved as a memorial. Raven walked past the door as quickly and as silently as she could. She always felt bad vibes coming from within whenever she was near the room. She dared not ever go in. She turned her head and walked past and towards Beast Boy's door.

For some reason she wasn't all that surprised at what had woken her up. She noticed the day before that this day would be the day that Terra had been lost, and she had been preparing herself mentally for what Beast Boy's reaction would be. And for nights past, she had been picking up stray emotions coming from his room: fear, anger, and loneliness. Sometimes she could hear him calling out in his sleep, but never as loud as how he had this morning. Remembering this, Raven picked up her pace. She soon reached his door and knocked softly. She heard a commotion from inside.

Beast Boy heard a sudden knock on his door and practically fell out of his bed. He quickly put the strip of pictures he was holding under his pillow and tried to wipe the tears from his eyes. His door opened and Raven stepped in.

"Beast Boy?" She said, searching his eyes.

"I WASN'T CRYING!" Beast Boy tried pathetically to cover up. He hoped she didn't notice his bloodshot eyes and tear stains on his pillow.

'Does he really think I wouldn't notice his bloodshot eyes and tear stains on his pillow?' Raven thought to herself. She tore her eyes away and tried to think of something to say "Are you okay in here?" She asked in the nicest way she could.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Uhh… What do you want?" Beast Boy said confused.

"I heard you—" Raven quickly stopped herself, she didn't want him to know she heard him scream Terra's name only minutes before, it would have been awkward for both of them, "tossing in your sleep." Raven covered up as well as she could.

Beast Boy cocked his head and raised his eyebrow, "You did?"

"I'm a light sleeper."

"Okay…"

An awkward silence followed. Raven's eyes wandered around his room for a minute. 'Filthy' she thought to herself. She saw his calendar, poorly nailed above his clothes-covered dresser. August 21st was highlighted with a yellow marker. In black marker it said "The Day." Raven knew all to well what "The Day" was. She turned back to Beast Boy and a something caught her eye. There was a small corner of paper sticking out from under his pillow. She could guess what it was. On his first and last date with Terra, they had gone in a photo booth and took a series of pictures. She saw him holding them when he walked in that night. For a couple of weeks afterwards, she occasionally saw them taped on his wall when she went to his room to tell him to wake up in the morning. He always slept in and all the Titans took shifts waking him up. But after a while, the pictures had disappeared. 'I guess now he keeps them under his pillow.' She thought to herself.

"Ok, so… I'll see you downstairs in a couple hours, I'm guessing?" Raven tried to finish with.

"Yeah, sure. See you later." Beast Boy looked away and waited for her to close the door. Instead, he heard her walking up to his bed. He looked up and saw her standing over him.

"Beast Boy, I know how you must be feeling, but Terra isn't coming back. We've tried everything."

"And I guess everything wasn't enough, huh?" Beast Boy tried to smile. "I'm sorry, Rae. I'll be fine, don't worry about me."

Raven paused for a minute, searching his face for the truth. "Whatever you say." She said, walking out of the room and closing the door behind her.

Beast Boy sighed heavily and fell onto his back, staring at the bunk bed above him. 'Today is going to be a long day.' He thought to himself.


Review if you want please! It'll get a lot more interesting, I promise. I have some really good ideas. Again, it's up to you whether this is a bbrae fic.
