The others saw Beast boy wrap his arms around Raven. It shocked them that she actually leaned into the hug. "Is... Raven... Crying?" Robin asked trying to look closer.

"Maybe we should leave them to talk about things. Come guys we'll find a spot and then we'll save Raven some food for later or something." Cyborg said, turning Starfire around. "Come on Rob." He said looking over at his team mate.

"Coming." He said as he turned and started to walk with Starfire and Cyborg.

"Why can't you just come back? Please, just come home. I'll help you through what ever it is that's troubling you. Just please come home." Raven said through his shirt. She was making him feel bad, he wanted to go back but he didn't.

"Raven, I can't, and I'd rather solve these problems on my own." Beast boy looked down on her. "I don't see why you of all people would want to help me anyway."

"That hurt." She smiled slightly. "Do I need a reason to help you?"

"Well considering the fact that you're Raven and I'm Beast boy, I think you may need a reason." He laughed remembering her throwing him out a window, and him almost being sent to another world.

"True... Beast boy, I shouldn't need a reason to help some one that I lo-" She choked on her words and then she felt her cheeks heat up. "Err; I shouldn't need a reason to help a good friend?" She knew it. She had been caught.

"Well then Raven, I always knew that I was good looking but man oh man. To get that sort of attraction from you, well then I certainly must be good looking." He smiled and laughed. Raven just looked at him; he didn't tease her about what she had almost said. He just made a small joke about it and didn't over look it. "Rae, you ok?"

She came back to reality and then sighed. "Yea, I'm fine. Look, I have to go find everyone else. I'll come around later." She tried to free herself from his grip, but realized he wasn't going to let her go. "Beast boy, come on let me go."

"Awww I thought we were having fun. Do you have to go?" He said loosening his grip on her waist.

"No, but wouldn't you rather be alone?"

"Now, why would I want that? Raven, I would rather have you around. I don't want to be alone, but I know that you would rather it so..." He let her go completely.

"I, I, I, I, I, I'm sorry."

"What for? Raven, you haven't done anything." His ears could here her heart; it seemed to be going faster. 'What's going on? What's she talking about?'

"For being a horrible friend, I always push you away. I can't believe you'd still-" His finger was on her lips before she could finish what she was going to say. Smiling she removed his finger. "You're not going to go all mushy on me now, are you?"

"Well, I could if you like." He took a step closer to her.

"Beast boy what are you doing?" He took another step so now he was close enough to her their noses were almost touching. Raven could feel his breath on her face he was that close.

"I'm going mushy on you." He laughed and then started to tickle her. Her eyes widened and then she started to giggle.

"Beast boy... Stop... Please... Don't...Tickle me." She managed to say between giggles. He kept tickling her and soon she was on the ground and Beast boy was next to her.

"I'm sorry, couldn't help myself. I didn't know you were that ticklish." He noticed she wasn't in her uniform; he didn't want to say anything though. 'Oh man, does she look good.' He thought to himself.

"I guess that's because you've never tickled me." He lay down next to her and looked up at the sky.

"I was scared that you would kill me though. I mean, you're always so..."

"Creepy? Unaccompanied? Solitary?"

"Raven, I didn't mean you to say creepy because your not. If you were unaccompanied well then that must mean I'm not really here and you were just tickled by your imagination. Solitary could be the word but you have friends Rae."

She smiled. He always knew what to say to make things better. "Yea, but sadly, my friends are slowly losing their trust in me."

"What? I still trust you. Who doesn't trust you?"

"I get this feeling from Robin; he has little or no trust in me."

"Why do you say that?" He sat up looking in her eyes.

"Because I told him that it was most likely my fault you left. It is isn't it?"

"Raven, what are you talking about? You know that it's not your fault. Raven what ever I said that day, I didn't mean. I just wasn't myself then." Raven sat up.

"Beast boy, please..."

"I'm sorry. I would love to. Really I would, but I can't. Lay back down Rae. Look at the clouds with me." His toothy grin made her laugh.

"But-"

"No buts. Lay." Pointing to the spot she had been laying on before. His face had a mixture of seriousness and an I'm going to tickle you if you don't look.

"What I was going to say, Beast boy, before you interrupted me, was that there are no clouds." He looked up and saw she had a point.

"Well, we could just lay here and talk? Would you like to do that?" He asked once she had lain back down.

"Ok." For the first time in her life, Raven had felt that she wasn't alone. Most of the time she was in her room meditating, and whenever she was with the group she just sat and watched or read her book. Talking to Beast boy the way she was now, made her feel wanted.

"This is nice huh?" A smile reached his lips as he released Raven and himself were slowly becoming better friends.

She sighed, "Tis."The wind gently lifted her hair off her face. The grass was freshly cut and the smell of the flowers drifted through the air. It was a nice day, but still Raven felt slightly upset.

"You look nice today, Rae." Beast boy finally spoke up about it. "Thepunk/emo/goth look really suites you."

"Oh, so your saying that I suite that kind of style huh? Don't expect me to start cutting myself Beast boy." She sighed.

"No, that's not what I meant, andI seriously doubt that emo means slitting your wrists, Rae."

"I know, but a lot of people that say that, well that's what they mean by it." Her voice was shaky, but it wasn't that noticeable.

"Who calls you emo?"

"No one." She looked away from the sky, and looked at her fingers.

"You sure? Cause if I find out-"

"No one." She said again, before looking back at the sky.


Well dere you go! chapter 4! whooo yay!
