Last chapter…
'Now I am going to die.' I thought desperately and closed my eyes tightly, waiting for her to drain my blood and suck my soul out. Shivers surged through my body as her cold hand clamped onto my right shoulder…
(BB's POV)
I prayed hard, hoping she would not kill me. I trembled as I felt her hot breath on my neck.
"Beast Boy." she called out.
'Oh no she knows my name and she is so going to skin me alive.' I knocked forcefully into her so that she fell onto the floor. I went over to look at her face. But she wasn't she, it was…
"Raven?" I asked when I stretched my hand out to help her up.
A/N: Yup, I have decided on a BBXRae pairing, hope you guys will like it and sorry to have interrupted the story. I shall take my leave now. (hides behind the curtains)
"Thanks a million Beast Boy. Is this how you treat someone who is concerned whether you were hurt or not?" Raven said sarcastically when she took my hand.
"I thought you were…I didn't know…I thought it was, hey why are you home?" I stuttered, trying to hide my fear.
(Raven's POV)
Why does he look so scared to me and why is he so nervous? Am I that hard to be with?
"I am not feeling well so I did not go to the café." I replied flatly.
"Really? Are you feeling okay?"
"I am…" I spoke up but stopped when Beast Boy placed a hand on my forehead. I could feel my cheeks getting warmer when the warmth of his hand sent a tingling sensation down my body.
(BB's POV)
Is she really okay? Why is her body so cold and why does she seem so weak and pale?
"Raven, are you sick? Do you need me to take you to a doctor?" I asked frantically, afraid that she was bottling things up again.
"I didn't say I was sick, I said I am feeling unwell."
"Can't you tell me? Maybe I can help." I was getting tired at this whole mystery thingy.
(Raven's POV)
Why is he so insistent, can't he tell I don't wish to say it?
"Well, it's…" I shifted uneasily, my face growing hotter. "a girl's thing."
"What is it? Can't boys know about it?" he asked, his emerald eyes staring at me with great curiosity.
"You know, it's…" How can he possibly expect me to tell him? Why is he so stupid and insensitive at times? "the time of the month."
(BB's POV)
"Er so are having your…" I could feel my cheeks getting hot, "period?" Raven nodded and glared at me. She winced and clutched her abdomen suddenly.
"Cramps?" I asked as I supported her body. She nodded. I was utterly shocked by what I did next. I carried her bridal style and walked towards the sofa, risking the possibility of getting killed.
(Raven's POV)
What is he doing? I didn't say he could touch me, what if he triggered my powers?
'Yay Raven!' Happy started jumping around in my head. 'Go Beast Boy, go Beast Boy…" she chanted and began Beast Boy's victory dance.
"Wait here for me, I'll go get something." He said after putting me down on the sofa and ran up the stairs.
What is he up to and why did I let him? Maybe I should just go back to my room and meditate. I could feel my emotions threatening to escape. I tried to stand up but Beast Boy gently pushed my body down.
"Lie still Raven, don't move." He said softly, placing a water bag on the lower part of my stomach. He took my hand and placed it on the water bag. "I've filled it with warm water. Hold it there and you will feel better." Beast Boy said with a smile before covering me with a blanket. The pain subsided as the warmth from the water bag reached my stomach.
"Thank you Beast Boy." I said gratefully but blushed when my stomach growled.
"You hungry? I'll go get something for you." Beast Boy stood up and starting to walk away.
(BB's POV)
No wonder her body is so weak, she didn't eat anything at all. I blushed when she grabbed my hand.
"I'm not hungry, can you get me some painkillers instead?" her stomach gave another growl, not agreeing with that statement. "I mean I have no appetite."
"I'll be right back, you will like it." I assured her with a big smile. I couldn't help it but to give her hand a gentle squeeze, it is so soft.
She looks so cute when she blushes, but why isn't anything blowing up? Maybe she can feel but just doesn't want to. I would still like it to stay like this though.
(Raven's POV)
I held up the blanket to my nose and smelled. Animal smell plus tofu smell, definitely Beast Boy's blanket alright. I closed my eyes and took in his scent. It smelled so nice, so comfortable and soothing.
'No wonder I am part of you.' Rude interrupted, 'Smelling people's dirty blanket is just as disgusting and unrefined.'
'It's because Raven loves Beast Boy, right Rae? Raven and Beast Boy sitting on a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G." Happy began clapping and jumping around.
'Happy is right Raven, you should be brave and face it. All of us know you like Beast Boy. Come on, be brave and admit it, confess your love.' Brave encouraged and drew a big heart in the air with her index fingers.
'We shouldn't. Beast Boy doesn't like us and will hurt us like Malchior did. We shouldn't be feeling at all. What if we like to feel and can't stop feeling? It will only hurt others.' Timid argued, trying to sound strong.
'I would like to remind you of something Raven. When you are weak, your powers would also be weakened. Meaning even if you lose control over your powers, the degree of damage would be greatly reduced.' Knowledge said dryly, adjusting her glasses.
'Meaning you should take this chance to feel. Opportunities do not come easy you know, once you let it slip, it might be gone forever.' Brave gave me a wink. 'Don't worry, we've got you all covered.' She turned to Happy, who caught Timid and covered her mouth with one hand.
'Yeah, in Beast Boy's smelly blanket.' Rude said with a burp.
I was pulled away from my emotions when I smelled something sweet. Beast Boy walked towards me with a mug of steaming drink and I could feel my mouth water. He put the mug down on the coffee table and came to help me up. I tried to sit up on my own but Beast Boy insisted on helping me.
"Now now Raven, you are the patient here so don't try to move around so much okay?" he gave me an angry look and crossed his arms. I gave him a weak smile, grateful at his gesture.
(BB's POV)
She smiled! I blinked a few times, not believing what I saw. Raven smiled! I got out of my daze when her stomach protested again.
"Oh, hot chocolate." I grinned as I passed her the mug. "You will feel better after drinking it." Raven wrapped both hands onto the mug and brought it to her lips. "Be careful, it's hot." She nodded and blew at the surface of the liquid before taking a sip.
"Thank you Beast Boy, it's good." She said after taking a few sips.
"Glad you like it." I said happily and sat down beside her.
(Raven's POV)
"You feeling better?" he asked after I finished the drink. I nodded. It really felt much better when the warm liquid reached my growling stomach, making the pain go away.
Why is he always so nice to me? It makes me feel so guilty for mistreating him. Why do I always have to be so mean to him and why can't he just leave me alone like the others, why?
'First answer, because there is a high possibility that he likes you. Second answer, because he loves you and you are afraid you would fall in love with him.' Happy replied and started singing. (L-O-V-E I love you and you love me)
'I won't fall in love with him, I don't feel love.' I shot back at the pink emotion.
'Of course you feel love Raven, or else I wouldn't be here.' Affection said in a gentle voice.
"Raven, may I ask you a question?" Beast Boy asked after placing my mug on the coffee table.
"Of course." I was taken aback by his sudden politeness.
"Why are you wearing a white robe?" he asked, eyeing my unusual attire.
"My leotard is quite tight-fitting so I got myself some loose clothes to wear. It will be more comfortable in this way on the outside since the inside of me is already so uncomfortable. Why do you ask?"
(BB's POV)
"I was frightened when I saw you, I thought you were a ghost."
"Sorry I scared you." She turned and looked down at the floor.
Why am I so insensitive? Did I hurt her with my words? Why am I just so stupid?
"No it's not that Raven, I don't mean you are creepy. I watched a horror movie just now and I thought you were the dead girl's spirit." I scratched my head and tried to think of something to say. "You know…the spirit uses her voice to lure her prey so when I heard a beautiful voice, I thought you were her."
"You heard me sing?" She gave me a surprised expression and then blushed.
(Raven's POV)
Oh Azar he heard me sing, it must have been horrible.
'Ask him how he thinks about your voice.' Brave shouted.
"Yeah and your voice is beautiful Raven. I didn't know you could sing so well before."
"Really, you think it is nice?" I blushed and eyed him hopefully.
"Really. What is the title of the song? I've never heard it before."
'BB likes your singing, he loves your singing.' Happy, Brave and Affection jumped around an uninterested Rude and chanted.
(BB's POV)
"It's a song Azar would sing to me when I was a child. It would always calm me down." I caught a tinge of sadness in her eyes.
"Are you very close to her?"
"Only Azar is willing to talk to me, the others despise me and always avoid me. Without Azar, I would not have even been borne."
'She is feeling sad, go console her. Hug her, talk to her, do anything that will make her happy.' A voice in my head shouted.
(Raven's POV)
Why am I telling him all these? No, I can't continue, I can't let my emotions out. I've got to meditate now.
I wanted to pull my hood up but I forgot I wasn't wearing my cloak.
"Raven, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought up your sad memories." He scratched his head. "You know I'm so stupid and insensitive. I'm always hurting your feelings."
"It's not your fault. Father is right, I am evil. I will only bring destruction no matter where I go. I…I just hate myself, why should I be even born in the first place." I felt tears rolling down my cheeks and quickly wiped them away with the back of my hand.
(BB's POV)
I lifted her chin and felt something squeezed my heart when I saw her tearing violet eyes.
"Raven…" My vision blurred as tears welled up in my eyes. Why does it hurt so much to see her cry?
'Because you want to protect her and because you love her. Hug her you stupid. If you can't protect her, I'll protect her.' The beast growled.
I did as the beast instructed and wrapped my arms around her. I could feel the shock radiating off her when I pulled her close, but I was glad that she did not try to struggle out of my arms.
"Beast Boy, I'm sorry but I have to go. I have to meditate, my emotions are escaping." Raven tried to get up when her mug was encased in black.
"No Raven, I'm not letting you go this time." I hugged her tightly and pulled her into my lap.
"Please Beast Boy, I don't have time to fool around with you. Let me go!" She shouted angrily and pushed me away.
'Don't let her go, never let go! Do you want her to suffer alone?' the beast bellowed and threatened to take over. I quickly tightened my grip and pulled her close to me.
"Beast Boy stop playing. Don't make me hurt you, let me go!" She yelled and struggled violently.
"I'm not going to let go of you. I'm dead serious, even if you hurt me, I won't let go!" I shouted at her squirming form before her mug shattered in the air…
