A/N: Hello, again! Sorry for the wait, but I've decided to take this story in a totally different direction. I hope you enjoy it! Thank you all for of your support! addicted2danny, I can't afford that stuff... but you can have some water! And about dialougue spacing... Oh my god! I totally forgot last chapter. Please forgive me.

Beast Boy expected to be left outside and was incredibly surprised when he was gestured in. The room creeped him out. It was like Halloween come early. It seemed like it was the middle of the night even though he knew it was early morning. Raven led him over to her huge bookcase. "What will it be? Fiction, Biography, How-To, Spellbook?"

"You mean, you trust me with your more important books?" She nodded, her cheeks turning a light pink.

"Yeah, of course, Beast Boy, you're... you're my friend."

"Yeah, you too."

They stared at each other for what seemed like hours to Raven before Beast Boy finally said, "I'm good with fiction." And then it happened. He smiled. You know, that smile. His smile. The one that sent shivers down Raven's spine, that made her heart flutter like it would fly right out of her chest, and that made her palms sweat enough to flood the tower. She scanned the shelf, looking for something, anything that Beast Boy would like. She couldn't find anything, so she closed her eyes and picked one at random. She slapped herself mentally. It was a love story. But he was watching so she had no choice but to give it to him.

They walked back to the common room together. Raven settled back into the chair where she had left her own book. Beast Boy pulled another chair next to hers, and his heart skipped a beat when she smiled the biggest smile he had ever seen her lips form. He sat in the chair, cracking open his book. The story seemed oddly... familiar. In fact, it was just plain scary.

The story was about 5 teenagers- all orphaned. They had decided to move in together. There were 2 girls and 3 boys. One of the girls had strange powers, fueled by emotion. She had to rid herself of all emotion so she didn't cause total destruction. The only emotion she could use she didn't get a chance to- love. One of the 3 boys- the prankster/comedy relief one had a crush on her, but was afraid that she could never love him back.
BB looked up from the book. He was seriously afraid now. He shook off the fear and returned to the book. The boy decided the best thing to do would be to slowly build up to telling her. He decuded he would give different hints to the girl in different stages. He decided to start by doing small, seemingly meaningless favors for the girl. Just everyday things normal friends do for each other.

"BREAKFAST!" Cyborg's call shocked Beast Boy out of the world of the book. He jumped, causing Raven to rais an eyebrow. He could feel his cheeks get hotter before turning around to walk to the table. He grabbed some tofu eggs and some soy milk, sitting down. They sat quietly until Beast Boy noticed Raven was running low on tea.

"More tea, Raven?"

"Yeah, sure," she replied. She realized who she was talking to. "Wait, what?" But he had already filled the cup and was smiling at her. She looked at Cyborg, who shrugged. Robin and Starfire were staring dumb-foundedly at him. BB, who was ignoring them all, just gobbled down his food. Everyone went back to eating. Later that night, Raven finished the book she was reading, and got up to go get another. Beast Boy, who had just finished yelling at Cyborg for "cheating" after losing yet another video game, got up.

"What would you like?"

"It's on my bedside table, but..." He took off before she could finish.

Raven let out a sigh of exasperation. "What the hell is up with him?"

"I was going to ask you the same thing," Robin sighed.

"Perhaps he is... sick?" Starfire questioned.

Raven shook her head and put her finger to her lips as Beast Boy came back in, handing her the book. She muttered a thank you. BB grabbed his own book.

"Well, I'm off to bed!"

"But B, it's only 8:00 o'clock!" Cyborg exclaimed in disbelief. But, he was gone, leaving the 4 other titans staring at each other.

Beast Boy sat on his bed, hunched over the book. The boy in it decided that the favor stage was complete, and decided to move on to something else. He pondered a while, before finally deciding on compliments. BB sighed. Tommorow would be a long day.

Beast Boy awoke the next day, prepared for the newest stage of the hinting. After Breakfast, he prayed he would keep his cool as he walked up to her.

"You know, Raven, I really don't get how you understand all those books you read. You're really smart."

Raven's face turned bright pink again.

"Er, thanks."

She was obviously very embarrased. BB smiled before going off to play video games with Cyborg. He was so happy he actually won! Raven hid a laugh at his pathetic victory dance.

That night, BB was going even more drastic. He couldn't believe what he was doing as he walked up the stairs to the roof, where Raven was meditating.

"Rae?" he asked quietly.

"Raven," she corrected. She hated that nickname. Or, at least that's what she told him.

"Er..."

Raven stared at him. He gulped before finally saying,"I just wanted you to know... I think you're really beautiful."

Her face flushed in surprise. His face turned bright red as well before he fled down the stairs. Raven stared at the spot where he had stood. Had it been a dare? Some kind of sick joke? Or was he sincere?

Back in BB's room, the book had been left alone. And it let out a soft yet maniacal giggle.

A/N: Dun dun dun!
