(A/N: This one is short, and has no action on it. Just kinda a little thing I wanted to do. So I added it in with a happy little conscience and decided to make it work for the story!)
Raven sits in her room and thinks about the events that had happened earlier… Beast Boy. She sighs and flops back on her bed. Something about him soothed her. Maybe it was his light sense of humor; he wasn't very funny, but the fact that he still tries to make her laugh comforted her. He tried to comfort her so many times… It could also be the fact that deep inside of him, Raven could sense fear and agony. She knew something was buried deep inside of Beast Boy that troubled him… maybe some day, he would tell her. She thought it could be his inner anger that drew her to him. He had something dark inside of him that tried to take over often.
When it had succeeded, he had tried to save her… he had been torn apart when he had thought he was hurting her… but he wasn't… he could never hurt her. That was what had drawn her to him. He could never hurt her. He had an innocence that assured her he could never be brought to harm her. Even when his dark side took over, he would always fight to protect her. Raven sat on her bed with a deep sigh. He wasn't here now… and she felt lonely.
Just at that moment, there was a knock at the door and Beast Boy's shy voice, "Raven… can I come in?"
Raven nodded, and realized he couldn't see her and added, "Yes."
He walked inside. He seemed troubled, his eyes darting around the room, as if he had never seen it before. But she knew he had. Something was on his mind. When he glanced up at Raven, he saw her bloodshot eyes and tears on her cheeks. Forgetting all of his troubles and nervousness, Beast Boy walked forward and asked her, "What's wrong, Raven?"
Raven just shook her head. "I don't get it," She whispered.
"Don't get what?" Beast Boy asked, sitting next to her.
"Why has all of this happened? How could we have gotten so close in such a short time?" She knew her questions didn't make sense. It happened because the Harpies of Havoc had pushed them together, and they had been getting closer and closer through many years; not a short time at all.
Beast Boy took Raven's hand, "Raven…" He searched for words and Raven smiled inside, remembering when he had come into her room that morning. He had been nervous, unable to find the right words, just like he was now. Was he going to say something profound; something more profound than 'I love you'?
"Yes?" She prompted after Beast Boy had not said anything. She gave his hand an encouraging squeeze, hoping it would help him.
"Raven, this is fate. We're together because we belong together. And now that we both realize this, nothing can take us away from each other; nothing can tear us apart." He smiled and looked up at her, "Raven, anything that happens after this point will happen for the soul reason that we are meant to be together and we love each other…" He paused and looked at her nervously, "You do love me… right, Raven?"
Raven smiled and replied quietly, "Yes, Beast Boy." Her voice was full of emotion and care as she said quietly, "I love you."
Raven had felt alone at the beginning of that night, but she no longer felt that way. She had Beast Boy by her side to comfort her. She lay in her bed, still wearing her cloak and leotard. Beast Boy was also fully uniformed, although he had removed his gloves and shoes earlier in the day. Raven found one hand resting on Beast Boy's chest, her other in his hand. One of his hands was wrapped comfortingly around her waist. Her head rested on his shoulder and his head rested on hers. She breathed in the smell of his light cologne and smiled to herself.
She felt happy. Not the Happy that lay deep inside of her mirror; evened with all of her other emotions, eager to get out, but truly happy. She felt a happiness that could not be expressed in words or any other way of communication. She felt a happiness growing inside of her that she could never calm or suppress, even if she wanted too. She felt a happiness that people had often tried, but failed, to sum up into one word. She felt Love.
More comforting than the love that she felt swelling up inside of her, was the feeling that she got as Beast Boy woke slowly. He opened his eyes and found hers, taking her into him like a treat he never thought he would get. His eyes were full of the same happiness Raven felt. And she knew her eyes were also full of the happiness she saw in Beast Boy's. He smiled a huge smile. But it wasn't his clown smile he had often worn, but a serene smile she had only seen once before, when he had come to calm her and scare away the Harpies of Havoc.
Raven couldn't see how the Harpies of Havoc had done anything but help the two. They hadn't caused havoc, they had cause love. They hadn't brought hate, they had brought happiness. Nothing could ruin what the Harpies of Havoc had done for Raven and Beast Boy. Raven felt that nothing could go wrong. Nothing could cause sadness or havoc. Raven felt that everything in the world was right, and she moved closer to Beast Boy and touched her lips to his, in a heart felt kiss.
(A/N: The end, you ask? Well, allow me to leave you with this little note: Happy endings are only unfinished stories. wink)
