Haha. This is a weird chappie, but hopefully a little humorous. It's a continuation of the Beastboy POV. Sorry it's so short...

BeastBoy POV:

Chapter 2

With sweaty hands, I knocked softly on the metal surface of Raven's door. The small tapping of my knuckles seemed to reverberate throughout the whole hallway making me even more nervous than I already was. But, there was no response from the demon-girl that lurked within, who was probably busy plotting the quickest and cleanest way to dispose of an annoying green changeling. I gulped and every fiber of my being screamed at me to get out of there while I still had all my appendages.

"Hey Raven, it's me Beastboy." I whimpered in a voice that resembled the sound of a small animal pleading for its life.

Silence.

It seemed Raven did not wish to see me at the moment. Huh, go figure... I stood there for a moment, pondering my next course of action and decided it would be best just to apologize to the door, who was obviously taking Raven's calls at the moment. At least that way I could say sorry and still have time to flee, should she decide to do me in right here and now. So after clearing my throat with a soft 'ahem' and whipping out a sheet of paper, I began my very well rehearsed apology.

"Dearest Raven, I have come to you today to ask forgiveness for my….out-land-ish (what the hell does that mean…?) erm, my outlandish behavior and wish to express my utmost sin…cerity when I say it truly… grieves me to know I have caused you dissss…atisfaction and aggravation… wow that was a long sentence… So from here on forth I will now refrain from…. What the heck….? I didn't know they made words that long!" Cursing Microsoft word and all the incredibly complex synonyms they provide in exchange for common English, I threw down the paper in disgust and decided to start from scratch.

"Ok, well what I really mean to say, is I'm sorry Raven. I really am. I don't mean to make you mad or upset…well okay sometimes I do… but the truth is I'm just trying to spend some time with you, and everyone in this tower knows that I make stupid mistakes. I don't mean to. I just want you to have fun, and I know with your powers and all you can't show emotion but you should at least have a little laugh once and a while, and I feel like I owe you that for some reason…" I paused here and sat down against her door, with my head resting on the cool metal.

"You're a great person Raven. A better person than I'll ever be probably… And whether you realize it or not, it's fun to be around you. You're smart, funny, and pretty… and I know you're caring too even though you like to push people away. I just want to bring you out a bit, get to know you and spend time with you. I want to talk to you, even though I always end up saying the wrong thing like today… so please forgive me Raven. I don't think I could live with myself if you didn't." I sighed and closed my eyes.

"I like you Raven, I like you a lot…" A great weight felt like it had been lifted off my chest as I uttered these words and a smile formed on my lips in contentment. 'I like you Raven, I like you a lot.' I repeated in my head. Those glorious words made all my anxieties vanish like yesterday's pizza. It was amazing what a few little words could do to your outlook on a situation. I no longer wished to hide from the girl I had feared for reasons beyond my comprehension, but now I longed to see her, to hold her and to hear her tell me the same…

"Beastboy what the hell are you doing?" My dreams shattered like glass as I opened my eyes to see Raven peering down at me like I was something the cat had left on her doormat.

"R-raven?" Stuttered scrambling to my feet.

"Who else would you expect?"

"But, I thought you were in your room…"

"And I thought you would have more sense than to sit in front of my door after I just about threw you out the window. I don't think I wouldn't have."

"Where were you?" I asked feeling my hopes sink lower and lower.

"I was up on the roof meditating, trying to calm down after a certain someone provoked me beyond self-control."

"Oh so you weren't…. and you didn't…and you still don't know that…."

"Beastboy please finish your sentences."

"Oh never mind. I just came by to say sorry." I muttered in defeat. Her gaze softened ever so slightly, going from a look that could make brick walls disintegrate to something that could make grown men cry.

"Apology accepted THIS time. And you better hope there is no next time." She warned and I gave a forced smile.

"Of course."

"Good." And with that she stepped past me, punched in her code, and disappeared into the dark depths of her room. I felt the air of the door as it swished shut behind me, separating me and the girl who was still oblivious to my feelings for her.

"This is all your fault." I hissed to the paper on the ground. It stared back defiantly in all its printer paper glory, undaunted by my insult.

'If brains were ink cartridges, you wouldn't have enough to print the word moron.' It told me smugly.

"Why you little piece of recycled tree parts." I snarled picking it up and crumpling it into a little ball. "Ha what are you gonna do now huh!" I taunted, throwing it on the ground again before squashing it flat with my shoe. Satisfied with my victory, I turned around to head back to the common room, and nearly fell over when I came face to face with a purple tube top.

"Friend Beastboy I heard much yelling so I came to investigate. Are you well?" Asked Star anxiously. I gave a small blush and picked up the crumpled paper.

"Ya, Star I'm fine. Just uh, practicing, for uh…. in case the tower is invaded by evil printer paper. You can never be too careful!" I smiled weakly and Star gave me a quizzical look.

"The Earth paper can be vicious?" She inquired almost like a child would ask if a dog could bite.

"Very vicious!" I replied with emphasis. "You know when you open envelopes and you get the little cuts on your fingers? That's what happens when they get a little out of line. Can you imagine what would happen if all the paper on earth started a revolt against humanity! The whole world as we know it could be destroyed!"

"It would be most terrible! I am not fond of the paper bites at all… Thank you friend Beastboy for educating me. For your advice I am most thankful." She smiled then glanced at the paper in my hand fearfully. Perhaps I had gone a little overboard…

"Well keep an eye out. I'm going to go dispose of this fiend once and for all." And with that I marched off, the paper in my hand held out at a good distance as if I was afraid it would suddenly attack. As I rounded the corner, I could not help but chuckle. I may have lost my chance to tell Raven about my feelings, but the expression on Star's face when I told her printer paper was capable of world domination, was priceless.

Good fun. Well now I must go type my school essay. Till next time!
