Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans... Or Sleepytime... ...Or the English language...

Also, the fact that Raven's powers are acting up on things that are so simple like her enjoying tea suggests there are deeper, underlying emotions that are making her powers react this way. Just in case you didn't notice...

You'll understand why Raven smiled slyly later, but she caught him... And he didn't answer her at first... So that's kind of a part of it, like she was making fun of (teasing, as was said) him. Aww... And was Beast Boy confused? Oh ya, especially when Raven smiled slightly (as in the first time)... I guess I should've added that in there... "Her slight smile confused him..." or something...

In "The End" parts 2 and 3, all the Titans get a taste of Raven's powers... And if you don't understand some parts of it, that's because it's very metaphorical. Don't worry, I'll cut back on the allegories after the first few chapters. I made this one way easier to understand.

I'm glad you liked it... I wasn't happy with some parts, such as calling Raven's Sleepytime 'meditation tea.' Blergh... Yes, and it is Sleepytime. Not much of a big deal giving that away, it's just something that's in the third chapter. Good luck trying to figure it out...

Plus, when I say "It peaked over her shoulder, covetous eyes darting across an enticing form. She leaned her head into him as he whispered into her ear, relaxing into his soft words. His breath tickled her cheak and she smiled. His very essence traced every inch of her body, fingertips lingering on perfectely forged curvatures." I'm talking about the way the moonlight was hitting her from behind and running down her front... I just had no better way to explain it and thought that way was good. Moon's rays... Think of that...

When I say "Raven studied his face" or "She looked at him, watching him" in this chapter, remember, it's pitch black and Raven can't see him. What she can do, however, is feel Beast Boy with her mind. That's what allowed her to maneuver around the tower in the last chapter. The only time she can see him is when they're in the moonlight.

Something I just noticed: Raven only calls the Titans, or Beast Boy at least, friends when it's an episode dealing with her father.

Oh, when I say "on the verge of tears" and "it wasn't worth it" in this chapter, think "Unbreak My Heart" moment. I know, tacky, but it works. Try it in "nevermind" and "made a small hmph" too... Doesn't make any sense does it? I was just trying to use parts of the chapter that wouldn't give anything away...

You know how the common room is shaped, right? Well, Beast Boy was on the right, top-left side while Raven was on the left side making her tea. Go to my profile and you'll see the sites for the screenshots.

I thought the first part was a bit rushed, but it might be because I was the one who wrote it. I read too fast, not even paying attention to what I was doing. It was supposed to be only an introduction, but please give me your opinion. How do you do that? Simple, REVIEW! Note BB's bad grammar in this, i.e. 'seized to function.'

"H-How 'bout and angel?" Beast Boy nearly squeaked.

Raven quickly fought to regain her composure, succeeding as always due to her many years of practice. "What are you doing here?" She queried, her voice a clear monotone and her face as stoic as ever.

"I... um... I-I forget." He said truthfully, for his motives were as mystic to him as they were to her. He, in his unbalanced condition, had forgotten what only moments ago had been a serious cogitation.

"Oh, really?" Raven smirked. 'He should enter a lame excuse contest.' Beast Boy was sitting on the seat with his back straight up agaisnt the padding, giving him the appearance of a very proper person. 'The green skin kind of kills it, though. Or at least it would... if the lights were on...' She reached forward suddenly.

"Aaahhhh..." Beast Boy breathed, but relaxed as Raven set her tea down on the table. "Sorry Raven; my brain has seized to funtion." His voice seemed to be getting squeakier by the syllable.

"Uh... You had a brain to begin with?" Great! Of all people, she just had to be the one to remind him. But of course, if not her, then who else? She was, is, and forever will be, Raven. That's her job; bring him up with a look only to have him come crashing down with the next words her venomous lips shaped. Raven could be the sweetest thing when she wanted to... but when she didn't...

"Gee, Raven, thanks for reminding me," Beast Boy spat sourly. His blood began to boil, his heart a cruel world of felonious desireratum.

"Reminding you? Of what?"

"Of what I'm actually here for... duh! And thanks for reminding me you can be such a dolt!" He zinged her ferally.

Raven's head dropped slightly before she lifted it proudly. "Yeah, and thanks for reminding me you can be such a jerk." She rebuked in an admonitory monotone serving to end the matter. She turned to leave, but Beast Boy held her back, grabbing her arm and pulling himself up so he was at eye level with her.

"You know what, Raven? I could be asking you the same thing! Here you are, at midnight, looking for Robin." 'Robin' dripped with abhorrence. "Why are you allowed to be the jerk, and I'm not?" His voice was cruel and harsh, and although Raven was unable to see it, his face was contorted with anger. Why was he doing this? She winced as his fingers tightened around her upper right arm. He pulled her closer to him forcefully. "Answer me!"

Raven pulled herself from him, stumbling backwards towards the moonlight. Beast Boy approached her menacingly, and though she could easily outdo him, his words hurt more than the slowly forming bruises on her upper arm. He watched Raven's staggering palisade. 'Finally...'

"Come on, answer me Raven. Say something! Aren't you gonna answer me Raven!" Raven flinched again as he said her name... The same way he said it when he'd defended Terra almost a year ago. Beast Boy was finally showing his true colors, as was with all the others. Malchior... How long would Starfire, Cyborg, and Robin last? "I'm finally talkin' back, huh? What? Your allowed to be mean to me but I'm not to you? I'm allowed to be pushed around by everyone, but when I give people a taste of their own filthy medicine I'm considered a JERK!" Fiery and relish dripped from his every word. And... Passion? Was he that vehemently desirous about doing this to her? She could feel power leaking from her in every direction. The kettle, the fridge, the microwave, the oven... All rendered useless by her destructive emotions, the stubborn contents of the cabinets emitted once again. She felt harrased as Beast Boy pommeled her with his piercing words, compunctious and conscience-stricken for having let him get close. She reached around herself, wanting to pull her cloak around her, to pull it tightly around her body. Wait! Her cloak!

'Of all the days...' She felt a pressure build up in her chest and another push up against her larynx. Her heart incandescent, she struggled to aggrandize control over her powers. He had ripped off her clothes, leaving her exposed for everyone to see and laugh at. "Beast Boy..." Her voice was wavering as she finally stepped back into the moonlight, who glowed gently and delightedly on her skin once again. Then he saw her... He saw her eyes. Raven... was on the verge... of tears.

Amazing... Seconds ago he was ardent to break down her stupid wall of scorn... And now, he wondered, was it really worth it?

"No." It definitely was not worth it...

"Raven... Raven, I'm sorry..." He stumbled towards her. She watched as he advanced, unsure of what to do. He reached out to touch her arm again, but she pulled away. He had the nerve to try and touch her after all he did? "Raven, listen to me. I-"

"Get away from me, you jerk!" She fought hard but futilely to keep her voice steady. Beast Boy seemed to give up, collapsing onto his knees before her.

"No... I'm so sorry, Raven. I didn't mean to-" Beast Boy sat on his legs, palms up on his hands, as if he were ashamed at having them dirty before dinner. His mother was about to spank him and he knew it. Or thought he did...

Raven stared on past Beast Boy. What was she to do? She remembered a similar occasion, where Beast Boy had said basically the same thing. She forgave him, but this was a second offense. This time, he wasn't under the influence any mind-altering substances. This was his free will. She looked up at the sound his voice, studying his facial expressions. She was no physiognomist like Robin, but she knew her share. This time he spoke in a firmer, contemplative tone. "I was just so frustated at my own problems that I took it all out on you." He sounded as if he were trying to explain something, more to himself than to her. The ligh of the moon reflected in his eyes as he spoke. "I was yelling at myself, actually..."

His quiet tone of voice was barely audible, but she still heard him. Impelled by her silence, he continued. "Please, don't be mad. I don't think of you that way." Raven worriedly searched his face, hoping or not hoping to see him slip up; to catch him in a lie and have some excuse to run away. Yet again.

"Please Raven," Beast Boy pleaded. "Forgive me. I think your the sweetest person in the world... not to mention cu- ...nevermind." He sighed. "What I meant to say is, even though I've never told anyone, I can't stand it when you... or anyone... is mad at me. Not to mention hurt because of me. I'm sorry." Raven tried her best to quell the 'sweet' part that was still replaying in her head as she spoke.

"I guess I should have been more considerate." Beast Boy looked up quickly, making full eye contact with her for the first time that night. He shook his head.

"No, Raven; it's all my fault. I was the one who blew up on you like I shouldn't have." Shouldn't have? "At least tell me if there's something I can do to make it up to you." He sounded a little too hopeful with that. "Trust me, Raven. You can ask me for anything you want." He stood up and took her by the wrists, bringing them up to his chest, and failed at an attempt to force a smile. "And I'm not taking no for an answer."

Raven pulled her arms away from him. It wasn't that she was still cautious towards him, but the fact that her hands were on his chest. That, in her book, was a no no. She was about to say a typical "No, thanks" when something popped into her mind. She'd never know...

"Okay, then tell me what's up."

"Huh?" Beast Boy's pupils shrank to the size of a ballpoint pen's point. 'Oh no'

"Tell me what's bothering you. You said anything..." He eyed her disbelievingly. Why did she have to be so perspicacious? Looking into her eyes, he could see the way the moonlight reflected into them. Those deep, dark, secretive violet gems... So overwhelming... The way they seemed to hide the secret to the world... The key to true happiness... The answer to every question ever asked and every thought ever pondered... He looked away towards the empty bay, it's vacuous waters dancing in the ever-brilliant light. Dazzling... But nonetheless an unsuccessful challenger to the beauty and serenity of a raven's eyes.

"Alright." He sighed with defeat. Turning, he walked to his former spot in the dining area, Raven his companion. Beast Boy sat down, Raven stopping just a few feet away from him. He sighed as she crossed her arms over her chest expectantly. So he was getting that spanking after all...

"First tell me why your here," said Beast Boy, trying fruitlessly to stall for time. 'Maybe there might be a way to work around the subject without actually getting to the point... After all, I do seem to be an expert at annoying Raven...'

"Oh, I'm always here at midnight..." Raven eyed him skeptically. So he was trying to stall for time... She felt a slight pang of guilt; he really didn't want to go through with this. 'Beast Boy likes to sleep... If it's something that important, maybe I can help him,' she thought, attempting to justify her actions.

"Oh... um... why?" Beast Boy was desperate for something to talk about with her that wouldn't envolve getting into the core of the subject.

Raven's face darkened a bit, then went back to it's usual state of impassivity. "You."

Beast Boy's ears drooped. Crud... He's only annoying when he's not trying. "Fine. It's just that... You all are so cool."

"Explain," Raven demanded, stoic as ever. Beast Boy smiled slightly at the fact that she was still Raven, not some Robbie-Poo lover. Regular, expressionless Raven. Don't ask, demand. His face desolated once more with what went on ahead, troubled, opaque, and descommoded.

"You guys are all so cool," he repeated. "You're all special in some way or another... Me? I'm just a little nobody. I always get my butt kicked; no matter what, I'm always the one to get beaten, the extra load that always seems to get in the way." His voice got higher as he spoke, but quieted down with the next thing he said. "Maybe... what I said twenty years from now was right. With Warp." Beast Boy stopped for a moment, then his face filled with coldness. He gripped the seat hard out of anger. "I'm always the chicken! The looser! The good for nothing-"

"Stop." Beast Boy looked up at Raven, who was regarding his acrimony with inspection. "We all need you," she said calmly. Inside, however, she was completely confused. Did he really think of himself this lowly? And here she had been thinking he was some braggadocio.

"That's not true, YOU KNOW IT'S NOT." Beast Boy closed his eyes, silently berating himself for taking his pent-up emotions out on Raven once again. He reopened his eyes; this time pain and anguish burned in them. "All you do all day; all you ever do, Raven, is make fun of me... Push me around... You have a reason for it... I'm nothing but a clown, Raven."

"But I thought clowns were supposed to be funny." Beast Boy looked up at her in shock.

OUCH

"Sorry Beast Boy, I-"

"It's okay, Raven." He looked down at his lap, bounding tears.

"No, sorry I put it that way." Raven stated, and she was about to explain herself when Beast Boy interrupted, admonishing himself once again.

"There I go again! I never understand anything. Why am I so stupid?" His eyes refocused on Raven. "And don't even try to tell me I'm not."

Raven was somewhat relieved that he was mad at himself for not understanding what she'd meant rather than being angry with her for using improper wording. The last thing she needed right now was for Beast Boy to be upset with her. She studied his solemn visage and compassion kicked in; it was time she did her part. "Beast Boy..." She started moving towards him, hand out in front of her.

"I'm just a little nobody; a rug for everyone to wipe their feet on and then complain that there's still dirt on their shoes..." Raven's hand dropped to her side as she stopped, waiting for him to go on. "A little grass stain; a little nobody..." His ears dangled even further and his tone became softer, his eyes wide in an attempt to fight back tears. "I'm the one always spewing corny jokes in your direction; can't blame you for getting mad... Sometimes I think it'd be a better world if I wasn't a part of it; it I didn't exist..." Raven's heart began to beat faster and finally exploded at the next thing he said. "If I were dead..."

"NO!" She ran to his side and pressed his head against her stomach defensively, as if to fend off the fears of a coulrophobic child. Only this time, the big scary clown was in it's head. It was his way of thinking. Shivers ran up her spine and neck as she heard something in the backround shatter... A computer screen, no doubt. Maybe just this once... For Beast Boy. "Beast Boy, no. That isn't true. We all care about you... We all need you..." She lowered her voice to a whisper. "You should know that..." He was startled by her gesture, her vocables, her expressions, her tone of voice... Nevertheless he was still enjoying being this close to her, physically and socially. 'No! What am I thinking? Here I am making Raven all worried about me... She doesn't deserve it.'

"Yeah? How?" He mumbled into her stomach, finally getting over stupifaction and wrapping his arms lazily around her waist. He held his right wrist with his left hand and nuzzled into her midsection. Raven could barely understand the muffled sounds that were tickling her stomach, sending a shiver across her skin and a blush to her cheeks.

"Cyborg needed you to put him back together, reconstruct the T-Ship, and find Robin and Starfire in that planet we got stuck on a couple of months ago. Isn't that something?" Raven countered, normal tone returning. Still, her concern for the green lad and want to persuade him was slightly betraying her monotone voice, as was her position, which made Beast Boy wonder if this was a dream or a nightmare. He turned his head and pressed his pointy right ear against her abdomen, fully aware she would be able to hear him better that way.

"You could of done better, anyone could've. Cyborg spent the whole time yelling at me and telling me how clumsy and stupid I was... am..." Raven searched her mind desperately for something that could possibly appease the stain's misled heart.

"What about that time we were unable to defeat Soto void of your assistance?" She was absentmindedly running her long fingers through his unruly hair, which to him felt very commendable.

"I had gotten to spend time with him," he repudiated. "I knew somewhat how to defeat him. Nobody needs me; you'd be better off without me." Her arms tightened around his head, and her fingers clutched his hair softly.

"No, Beast Boy. I need you. Believe it or not, your important to me. Your my friend, and if it weren't for you... I probably wouldn't be here right now. Beast Boy, you saved my life."

Beast Boy was surprised at hearing her refer to him as 'important' and 'friend.' Sure he remembered the little 'let's go to Raven's head' and the 'Raven's father is going to kill us all' episodes, but she'd never said it again. And he wasn't expecting her to. He pushed down the thought as another one came into his dome. "Yeah? What about all those times you saved me from getting my butt fried in battle? Adonis was there after me, and when you came to help me, he ended up getting you to..." He closed his eyes as he nestled his head further against her midriff. "If it weren't for me and my stupid 'Beast Boy-ness,' you probably wouldn't have gotten endangered in the first place... No, you definitely wouldn't have gotten hurt. I should have listened to Robin..." His face contorted as his lips formed his name. "...about those chemicals, but no. I just had to be an idiot, like always." Raven sighed.

"Beast Boy, you are not an idiot. It wasn't your fault. You just got a little livid, that's all. Remember me and Dr. Light?"

"I put your life on the l-"

"Speaking of Light, you saved me from my fa- myself that time when your 'stupidity' led you into my mind."

"I mistrusted you-"

"Don't you get it?"

"I never do."

"Listen to me, Beast Boy." She unwrapped his arms from her and grabbed his shoulders, looking squarely into what she thought to be his eyes. "I need to here your corny jokes everyday. Just as I need to here Cyborg rant about how some villian spilled milkshake all over his front seat. I need to here your noisy videogames and your pointless fights on the importance of tofu at the breakfast table." She was letting everything come out in one sitting; everything she'd ever wanted to tell the Titans. 'For Beast Boy... He needs it.' She softened her introspective look, as if remembering something pleasant. "I need Starfire to spoon-feed me alien killer puddings with sides of mustard..." She felt Beast Boy's gaze softened, almost into a smile, but dried profusely while awaiting the next person she would undoubtedly mention. "And I need Robin to-" She stopped and Beast Boy frowned. What was going on between those two? "What I meant- mean- is that we, the Titans, the team, are all part of a puzzle. You've noticed how when one of us gets injured in battle it either causes distraction or motivation. We've been trained to take it as motivation. If one of us is missing, it doesn't seem right. Like the battle with Warp and the festival of friendship... We all fall apart, not only as a team, but individually..."

Silence followed. Raven backed away and motioned for Beast Boy to scoot over, taking a seat next to him. He placed his gloved hands on the table, palms down, and was suprised to feel the weight of Raven's push down against his right one. A shockwave ran up his hand to his elbow and he looked at her face as she continued, his cat-like eyes well adjusted to the dark. "As I was saying before, I need you. All of you. The puzzle, our friendship, though at times... frustrating..." She nearly smiled, sure of his sheepish grin. "They're what keeps me stable, what keeps me going; willing to wake up and tackle life every single day..." Her voice was a sweet, deep melody. "Beast Boy, with all your insanity, your what keeps me sane..." 'Or what drives me insane,' she thought, remembering all the times he's driven her up the wall. She gave his hand a squeeze before pressing on. "Beast Boy, it might not seem like it, but I really, really do care for you." She felt his heart accelerate. "Oh, Beast Boy, not like that. I meant, as a friend," she said, but frowned at the fact that he was horrified at the possibility of her liking him. Hearing him sigh disappointedly, she wondered if she had reminded him of Terra. A mixture of cynicism and anger flowed through her mind, but she quickly pushed it down.

"I care for you too, Raven. A lot," he said carefully. "As a friend," he added. Raven's face dropped. Was that really necessary? 'Hmm... Must have reminded her of Malchior... Robin...' He frowned. "I've never seen you open up like this before." Raven almost laughed at Beast Boy's incredulous tone.

"I've never seen you open up like this before," she answered.

"Who are you and what have you done with my Raven?" Beast Boy's eyes widened and his heart skipped a beat as Raven smiled, and almost laughed. It was the most beautiful smile he'd ever seen. Her eyes shown brilliantly, an intriguing contrast to the absolute dark that currently enveloped them in it's care. But he didn't know that it was more for the fact that he had said 'my Raven.' "See what I'm talkin' about?" Her smile grew and Beast Boy was proud of himself for a job well-done. He had pulled an emotion out of the young ice queen, and it wasn't anger or pain, it was happiness. "Excuse me for just a sec." Beast Boy stood up on his seat and started to dance. "Woo! Go Beast Boy! Go Beast Boy! Iiit's your birthday." Raven rolled her eyes and he sighed, flopping back down and quickly sliding his hand beneath her's once again. "You know, after so many years of trying, it feels so good when you finally succeed."

"In what?" Raven asked. She knew, she just wanted to here him say it. Just for kicks...

"In making you smile." He put his hand up to her chin and gently shook her head from side to side. She smiled contentedly until she noticed Beast Boy had to turn around to do this. She looked in the direction of her left hand, which was subconsciously rubbing his thumb. Clearing her throat, she immediatly took her hand from his, using it to brush his other hand from her face.

"We'd better go; it's getting late." She got up and began walking towards the stairs.

"Ya think?" Beast Boy got up after her. Something was still on his mind, though, and it wasn't Robin. "Um... Raven...?" The directed stopped at the foot of the stares and turned around.

"Hm?"

"Can I, um, can I... have a, uh..." He figured he'd better get on with it as Raven raised an eyebrow. This was still Raven, after all. "Hug?" She raised her other eyebrow.

"But I already gave you a hug..."

"Yeah, well, I didn't hug you back..." Raven lowered an eyebrow. "...that much. So it was only a half sort of..." He trailed off, his throat dry. Sighing, he thought of the possibilities of him getting temporary insanity. What was he thinking? She'd never do it. "Nevermind." He walked past her, but was stopped at the first step by a hand around his arm.

"Wait..." He turned around to face Raven. She studied his silhouette, so sad... disappointed... The way he was slouching gave that away immediatly. She wasn't, however, going to disappoint the small glimmer of hope that still shined in his eyes. "Beast Boy..." Her hand right hand reached up to the back of his neck as her respective cheek brushed against his. The feeling of her smooth, soft, warm skin sent warm shivers down his spine and a shocking feeling to the area surrounding his lips. Beast Boy never got to feel anything with his own skin because he always wore gloves, and the feeling was great. Her left arm found it's way over his shoulder and she made a small 'hmph' sound as her body came in contact with his.

He was thunderstruck, but he left it aside, snaking his arms around her thin form. Not about to let an opportunity like this go by again, his right arm reached up her back, taking charge and hugging Raven closer up Beast Boy's body. He was thankful he had been on the first step, for it made him taller than Raven for once. She slowly and cautiously slid her cheek from his face down to his neck, snuggling into his warmth. Heat shot through his body a Raven purred delightedly against his skin and he congratulated himself on another job well done. 'Go Beast Boy, it's your birthday,' he thought silently to himself. Wait a minute, it WAS his birthday. That was coming up in a couple of weeks. 'Oh, well. Right now I have better things to worry about.' He looked down at the girl in his arms and a shocking feeling ran up and down his spine, coursing through his body. It started in his lower abdomen, only to end in his lower abdomen with much more ferocity than it left. This caused Beast Boy to shiver as he held Raven closer. He reached his left hand completely around her slim waist, astounded at how thin she was. They stood there for, to him, what felt like hours but all the while three measly seconds. He wanted it to last longer, it hadn't lasted long enough. He seemed so content and secure in her arms, but of course he would, because she's his friend, right? He was pulled from his thoughts as Raven shook in his embrace. She seemed to shiver slightly, then slowly relax into the comfort of his wrap once more.

'He's so warm. I haven't felt this good in ages. I love being with him, but of course I would. He's my friend., right?' Just then another wave, just like the one that had made her shuddder before, issued flutters in her abdomen once again, making her unpremeditatedly snuggled closer into Beast Boy. All she could here was his breath, his heart beat, mixed with hers. Nothing else existed, just the feeling. All she felt was his warmth, all she was able to smell was his scent. She turned her head slightly so her lips were touching his neck, making him quiver with pleasure. All that was, was inhalation, exhalation. Pump-pump; Pump-pump; Pump-pump. She shifted in his grasp, laying her head on his chest and facing the same direction. Her hips were pressed against his, and when she moved, the rip from earlier was acknowledged. Her skin met his uniform and pleasure ran up and down her body, jolting her back to reality. What was happening? This had gone too far... They were just friends.

Raven slowly and carefully backed away from the embrace, fearful that the world would explode if she went too far. They wanted it to last forever, but knew it couldn't. Besides, they'd have more hugs, right? She hoped so.

Beast Boy softened his grip on her, but didn't let go. She took her right hand from his neck and pulled it down to his chest, something she did not want to do earlier on that night. Okay, so it wasn't such a no no. Though it wasn't much, Beast Boy spoke first.

"Wow..."

"Yeah," Raven breathed. Looking down, he could see she was staring at the space between them, noticing for the first time how shy the girl really was. She tried to hide it behind her cloak, her mask, her monotone voice... She did a pretty good job of it to. But deep down inside, she was just like him. All those things were covering up her personality; the beautiful person that existed behind that deadpan face. The big difference between them, though, was that she used intimidation instead of humor to escape situations in which she was vunerable to exposure. All you had to do was get close enough to understand... Taking a chance, he pulled her close once again, letting her head rest on his chest. Now he was REAL glad he had been on the first step. She sighed, content, but it was time to go.

"Beast Boy, I..." She began, lifting her head from his chest to look up at his eyes. She couldn't see them, but she knew there was a window to a forest right in front of her. "We... should go. It's getting late, and I'm tired. I know you are too, and we have training first thing tomorrow." She sighed. "We should get our rest, so..."

"So... I guess this is goodnight, then?" He said, releasing her and placing his hands on her shoulders.

"Yeah, I guess..." Her voice was sweet as she closed her hands around his wrists. Hesitating a moment, she took his hands off of her.

"Walk you to your room?" Please, please, please...

"Sure, why not?" She replied, noticing the hopefulness in his voice.

"Yes! I mean, uh... come on, let's go." He ran a hand through his ruffled hair, thankful that she couldn't see the blush on his face. She could feel it however, and raised an eyebrow before brushing it off as him finally breaking through her wall.

As she led him to her door, what had happened only moments ago scrambled across her mind in every direction. He had watched her silently, verbally attacked her, begged for forgiveness, spewed out all his sorrows, and made her feel the best she'd felt in ages. Incidents tripped over one another in her head while she walked. He, however, had only two things on his mind. The prevailing one was the nice feeling he still had inside from finally seeing to the real Raven, but he couldn't help but wonder, why Robin? What had she been doing with him the other night? This was way worse than what he had thought when he heard a man's voice in Raven's room at noon only months ago. Why? Robin had a girlfriend, and she was one of Raven's best friends... He looked to Raven, who seemed to be deep in thought, and all the bad thoughts vanished. She wouldn't do that, she would never do that... Would she? He shoke his head as their little journey came to an end.

Raven turned to him, obviously waiting for him to say something. "Uh, Raven?"

"Yes, Beast Boy?" She said, placing her hand on the door.

"Do you think I'm funny?" She heard him say hopefully, but knowing nonetheless what her answer would be.

Raven smiled. "Goodnight," and she phased through her door.

"I'll take that as a... maybe." Beast Boy grinned as he walked to his own room, comtemplating on whether or not the other Titans would skin them alive for the mess that they had made in the kitchen. Well, the mess that Raven had made, but he was still part of it. Unable to shake off the feeling that there was something wrong going on between Raven and Robin, he decided he'd do the cleaning before anyone else had a chance to get up. He didn't want to risk getting mad at anyone.

Raven had gone from practically his acquaintance to a best friend in one night, and he loved it. As he lay in bed, he wondered what he would do to thank her tomorrow. If Raven had said he was important, then he definitely must be. She would never waist her time with him just to make him feel better, and she always spoke the truth when speaking of a person.

Uh... He's cute.

Okay, maybe not always, but most of the time. He shut his eyes and a picture of his newest best friend came into view. How will he thank her? 'I'll dream it up... That always works.' Seconds later snores shook the foundation of the tower.

Back in Raven's room, Raven sat at the foot of her door. Her mind in a jumble, she decided to sleep on it. She'd straighten everything out tomorrow. Her relationship with Beast Boy had changed, drastically, but she knew it had been for the better. He'd never be able to talk to Cyborg about these things, nor Robin or Starfire.

As she got up, another zap spread itself throughout from her abdomen. She felt around herself out of habit, but was disappointed to not feel the smooth fabric of her cloak. She felt around for it, and there it was, lying smugly at the foot of her bed.

I care for you too, Raven.

Can I have a, uh... hug?

Wow...

I guess this is good night...

She walked over to her bed and lay down, staring up at the ceiling with an arm behind her neck and another crossing over her abdomen. The naval chakra... She yawned and looked over at her clock. 1:50 looked back at her, telling her to get some sleep. She rolled over and snuggled into her pillow, the smell of her shampoo reaching her nose. Her conversations with Robin never lasted more than an hour, so she'd better get some rest. As the tick-tick of the clock rocked her to sleep, she smiled at the thought of her newfound shoulder.

Sweet Dreams, Raven...

He looked around at the dining area. Seconds later he had said it was going to be an extremely long morning, but now everything was set. The kettle's remains were in the waist, the refrigerator's door placed back on it's hinges, the oven's dials had been replaced and so had the microwave's bulb, and a plausible explanation was at the ready for how the computer screen had broken.

The smell of eggs, bacon, pancakes, and of course lemon zinger swam around the room. He sat at the table and sighed, happy and content with himself for the first time in weeks.

Raven rolled over in bed, reaching her hand to the nightstand and grabbing her alarm clock. She sent it hurling at the door and smiled as it was silenced. Getting up, she sent power flying out of her in all directions. Her alarm clock floated back into place as she walked past it, and the door moved out of her way as it greeted her with a good morning and a why the heck did you throw that stupid thing at me again? Her cloak fastened it's way around her neck with a click, and her black boots walked under her as her feet slid into them, turning them their original, trademark blue. She stopped at the door to the bathroom and crossed her legs, sitting in mid air. A towel came by and streched itself across her lap as she waited for exactly five minutes.

Robin stepped out of the shower, drying his hair with a towel, and was greeted by a humming Raven. "Morning... you seem happy," he observed. She looked up at him and winked.

"Looks like it's gonna be a beautiful day..."

Okay, I definitely need to get the hang of this more. This is theumpteenth time I posted this chapter because the first time it looked creepy, and the others I messed up.

Here's my preview:

"What happened to, 'I can't take you to see Enid tomorrow, Karyan, I've got training.' Training my-"

"Shut it. Robin decided to postpone, is all."

Please, review... I loved the first ones and I'll try to do better next time. 'Til then.
