Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans. I wish I did, but I don't.
Raven sat at the kitchen table, stirring her tea. She surveyed 3 other Titans looking out from the gigantic windows. Eventually, curiosity overcame her and she went to look at what they were looking at. She scoffed at the sight before her. A certain green boy was sitting on the edge of the island, skipping stones over the water. "Not that this isn't interesting, but I prefer to read." She said. Starfire was looking out sadly at Beast Boy. "He is most depressed. This is not our Beast Boy… ever since his meeting with the new Terra… he has barely talked to us. I am most worried." Raven sighed irritably. "He'll be fine. He's just in shock." Robin shook his head. "I think it runs deeper than that. He hasn't eaten in a week, and it shows. He can barely fight on missions anymore. We need someone to talk to him." Starfire, Robin, and Cyborg turned and faced Raven. After a moment, she groaned. "Why me?" She mouthed to the heavens. She trudged off, and was soon down on the island. She walked slowly over to Beast Boy.
"Go away." He said. His voice sounded empty, hollow… like he was an empty shell. "Fine, but after we talk." Said Raven. She sat down beside him, and she stared out at the water, sparkling with the clashing dusk and sunset. "So… you haven't eaten in a while." She said almost jokingly. "I'm not hungry." He said in the same hollow voice. "I'm here to listen, so talk." She said. After a minute, Beast Boy finally opened up. "I… I just thought that… she liked me, so why couldn't she like me again?" He said sadly. "As much as it pains you to accept Beast Boy, that wasn't Terra. When she came back, everything she knew was gone. The Titans, Slade, and… you."
Beast Boy's head was bowed. "I know… it's just that… for so long… I thought that she was my… yin." At this, Raven looked at Beast Boy with a furrowed brow. "She was just one girl… how could she be your other half?" Beast Boy still stared out over the water. He still had sad eyes, but he put a smile on. "Of course. How could you ever understand? You've never felt this feeling before. What you thought was love was actually loneliness. You've never felt like I've felt."
Raven stiffened up. Why did he have to bring that up? "You thought that you two were… in love?" He nodded. Raven shook her head, and she looked back out at the water. "Look… she was just one girl. As much as I hate to admit it, you two were awfully close… but that's in the past now. You should focus on other girls. Now, if you'll just come inside and eat something…" Raven got up and waited for Beast Boy, but he never followed. Raven sighed and sat back down. "I'll admit that everyone has an other half, but she wasn't it for you. Sometimes, your other half could be right in front of you."
Beast Boy finally looked at her. "Alright, I'll tell you about someone I once liked, but I realized that she wasn't that interested." Raven sighed, realizing that this meant, of course, more talking. "Who was it?" Beast Boy looked at the water again. "She's a dark girl. She once told me I was funny, but I ruined that. I think she hates me, but I still harbor deep feelings for her. I wanted her to know that I liked her, but I couldn't work up the nerve to tell her. She talks to me every once in a while, but she doesn't have any trace of anything close to love for me in her voice. I've always tried to make her laugh every day, but she just puts me down. So, if you could answer me this… why am I still in love with her?" Raven was envious of his ability to say 'love' that many times in a day.
"Wow, in love with two people… maybe you're looking too hard. Sometimes, your best friend could be the one you'll be spending the rest of your life with. Instead of gazing from afar at her, maybe you should ask her about how she feels about you." Beast Boy gave a half-hearted laugh. "I can't… she'd kill me. Seriously… she would." Raven almost chuckled at this, but she held it in. "I think I'm hungry now… let's go in." He said. Raven gave a thumbs up to the other Titans in the Tower, and she received a thumbs up in return.
On the way back to the Tower, Raven tried to keep his spirit on the bright side. "You know, she may find your devotion attractive. Women do look for that, you know." Beast Boy smiled. "She's not like other women; she's really close to me. In fact, she's right in front of me." Raven was confused for the first time in a very long while. She shook her head, and she went inside with Beast Boy.
That night, Raven's thoughts were racing. She was confused by what Beast Boy said, and why she felt that somewhere deep inside, she knew what he meant. At around four in the morning, the idea of her and Beast Boy popped into her head. 'That's absurd… he couldn't mean me… could he?' for the rest of the morning, she had fit together everything between what Beast Boy had said and her own relationship with Beast Boy. 'Oh my god… he does mean me.' What really freaked Raven out was not that Beast Boy liked her, but that she started feeling different about the whole idea of them… together.
"I'll think more about this in the morning." She said. "Hey, Raven! Wakey, wakey!" Called a voice from outside her room. She sighed. "Wrong… it is morning." She muttered. "I'll be right there!" She called back to Beast Boy. Raven walked out of her room in a sleepy daze, ready to blast someone's head off if they made any loud noise at her or near her.
