Chapter 4

All week Raven had been trying to get Beast Boy to open up to her in some way, but she also had to make sure the others were unknown of her intentions. At first it was merely trying to start a conversation with him, so that they could at least have a conversation that was more than a one word answer from him. It did not really take; he would still only give single word replies or maybe a sentence at the most.

She then tried a different approach, where she would almost deliberately give him advantages to pull a prank on her or make a joke. But each time he would just shrug his shoulders and continue whatever he was doing or leave. She also tried praising him after a battle, but Beast Boy would merely keep his stoic demeanor to her.

Raven had tried almost everything she could think of, but that does not mean she was ready to give up. However, she did not know if she would be able to get everything back to normal by herself anymore. And she really did not want to ask the Titans for help. So she decided to keep trying all of her tactics, in the hope of him breaking soon.

The Titans had returned home after defeating Johnny Rancid, and his new mechanical pet. They were slightly sore from the battle, and could not wait to relax. Dusk was already starting to set, and the day beginning to dwindle down. The Titans entered the Common Room going to the couch. They all sat down and sighed at the relaxation of their home.

"I don't know about y'all, but I'm ready to kick back, relax, and enjoy a good movie," Cyborg said as he got up from the couch and went over to their DVD collection.

"Oh yes, that sounds like a most wondrous idea. I shall fetch the "corn of pop"," Starfire said as she flew from her seat on the couch. This left Robin, Raven, and Beast Boy on the couch to talk.

"Great work out there guys. And good idea distracting his pet, while Raven and Starfire were able to destroy it, Beast Boy," Robin complemented.

"Yeah, way to go Beast Boy," Raven said stoically.

"It was no big deal guys. Who doesn't love a good chase," Beast Boy said, as he remembered turning into a cat so Johnny's "dog" would chase him. This gave Raven time to wrap her magic around the creature while Starfire bombarded it with starbolts to destroy it.

"But Beast Boy, it was most ingenious. The Johnny Rancid did not expect his monstrosity to be destroyed so easily. And could not have happened without your assistance," Starfire said as she returned with a bowl of popcorn in her hands.

"Yeah man, backing it into that alley, was defiantly one of your best ideas," Cyborg also complimented after he put the movie in the player.

"Thanks guys guess maybe I should come up with all our battle strategies from now on," Beast Boy proclaimed with a big toothy smile. The others looked at him fearfully, thinking what it would be like with Beast Boy setting the plans. They all imagined him, leading the team and saying 'dude' all the time, and cracking bad jokes left and right. The other Titans nervously laughed at his comment, finding some way to change the subject.

"Yeah… Oh look the movie menu is open, I say we start it, and just enjoy our night," Robin said. He got comfy in his seat. Starfire sat down next to him and placed the bowl of popcorn on the coffee table. She then wrapped her arms around his right arm and leaned into him. They had been dating for about three weeks now, and they were still in the gooey lovey stage.

"Yes let us partake in the movie," Starfire said as she leaned on her boyfriends arm. Cyborg sat on the other side of Robin, in the middle of the couch. Beast Boy was next to him and Raven next to Beast Boy.

The movie menu showed the title of the movie which was, Godzilla. Cyborg picked up the remote and pushed play which began the movie. During the opening scenes, where they showed the nuclear testing. Raven scooted slightly closer to Beast Boy, so that she was close to him, this she was hoping that he would see she enjoyed his company.

Beast Boy glanced to his left and saw that Raven was close to him, not as close as Starfire and Robin, but close. He breathed out and leaned back into the couch folding his arms across his chest. Raven saw this and turned her attention back to the movie.

About an hour and fifteen minutes into the movie, the Titans were watching the events unfold. They were beginning to look for the nest of the creature. Starfire had never seen this movie and was fascinated by Godzilla, and how an accident could cause such a creature. Robin was enjoying his girlfriend leaning against him as he continued the movie. Cyborg loved this movie. Monster, sci-fi, and action all rolled into one, was defiantly one of his favorites.

Beast Boy had not moved an inch from his spot. He still was leaned against the couch with his arms across his chest, watching the movie as it continued. Raven also did not move she was still relatively close to Beast Boy, as she watched the movie. She was thinking that Beast Boy would talk through the movie like he normally had done, but this time he remained quiet, just merely watching it.

Raven decided not to worry about it anymore and just watched the movie. But she also felt her adrenaline get really low, she wasn't bored, but the battle from earlier wore her out like the others. She did not know if she could stay awake for much longer.

The movie was ending, and the credits were showing. It was a two hour and 15 minute movie, which was much longer than the average movie. Starfire had fallen asleep close to the end and was just leaning against Robin. He did not mind at all. Cyborg got up and took the DVD out of the player and put it back in its case. Robin also got up and picked up his girlfriend carrying her bridal style.

"I think it's time we all went to bed," Robin said as he made his way over to the door which led to the hallway.

"Yeah, sounds like a plan to me," Cyborg agreed. He went over to the doors as well but first he put his hand on the palm recognizer. The tower locked up and the lights turned off. "Night y'all." And with that Cyborg left as well. This left Beast Boy and Raven in the room.

Beast Boy got up from his seat ready to leave, that is until he noticed that Raven was asleep on the couch. She must have fallen asleep at some point, and laid down on the remainder of the couch. He sighed and went over to her. He placed a hand on her shoulder and shook her slightly. "Raven, come one time to wake up," Beast Boy said, hoping she would wake up.

Raven stirred for a moment but did not wake. Her breathing was steady, quiet and even. She was completely knocked out. Beast Boy shook her again and said her name one more time. However this still did not wake her. He then removed his hand and left her where she was. If she was asleep, he would let her sleep. He walked to the Common Room doors, but stopped just after entering the kitchen area. He looked back at the couch where he knew Raven was sleeping. He sighed deeply and turned around and headed back to the couch.

Raven was still curled up sleeping peacefully. Beast Boy walked until he was in front of her. He looked at her with his emerald and eyes, and breathed in and out. Kneeling down, he put his arms under her head and legs. Carefully lifting her into his arms. Once he stood up again he adjusted Raven so he would not strain to hold her, and so that she would not awaken either. Once he felt comfortable that he would have an easy time holding her, he walked back to the doors and went into the hallway.

Beast Boy walked the hallway holding Raven in his arms just as Robin had done with Starfire. Because he had Raven in his arms he had to walk slower so she would not wake, and kill him for carrying her. As he was walking he heard footsteps coming towards him and wandered who would still be up. He thought everyone went to bed. He stopped as the other person continued on forward. "Who's there?" He asked.

"Beast Boy?" said a familiar voice.

He knew who the voice came from. "Cyborg, what are you still doing up? I though you went to bed?" Beast Boy asked.

"I did, but I wanted to get a snack before I hit hay," Cyborg replied. He then noticed that Raven was in his arms, and she appeared to be asleep. "Uh, why are you carrying Raven?"

Beast Boy looked at the sleeping girl in his arms and sighed. "Raven fell asleep like Starfire, and I tried to get her up, but she was too far asleep. So I'm taking her to her room before I go to bed," Beast Boy explained.

Cyborg was confused as to why he didn't just leave her on the couch. "Uh, ok. Why not just leave her on the couch to sleep? Why take the time to take her to her room?" He asked wanting an answer out of him.

"I've slept on that sofa, not the most comfortable place to sleep, if you wanna get your eight hours," Beast Boy replied.

Cyborg thought about this for a moment and then a realization came to him. A big smile came on his face as he said, "You like her, don't you, you little grass stain."

Beast Boy was shocked at his assumption. "Uh dude, I don't at least not in the way you are thinking about," He said to his metallic friend hoping he'd end this conversation.

Cyborg's smile remained and said, "Yes you do, why else bring a girl back to her room from the couch. And why would you carry her like that instead of throwing her over your shoulder?"

Beast Boy began to blush as he continued, "Dude, I don't know what you are talking about, but I do not-" He was interrupted by Cyborg.

"Beast Boy," Cyborg stated trying to get him to break.

"Dude, I don't like Raven-" and once again he was interrupted by Cyborg.

"B, you're not going to win this, so stop kidding yourself and just admit it," Cyborg said with his arms folded across his chest.

With a heavy sigh, Beast Boy adjusted Raven again so her head was leaning on his shoulder now instead of his chest. "You're right Cy, I do like her, more than I thought," Beast Boy said admittedly. He looked at his shoulder and saw Raven slowly breathing in and out. He smiled a real genuine smile at her for what seemed like forever.

Cyborg approached him and placed a hand on his other shoulder. "Man then why don't you just tell her how you feel," Cyborg said to his green friend. Beast Boy's smile quickly turned into a frown as he looked at his friend.

"You heard her, a month ago Cy. She thinks I'm nothing more than an annoying animal," Beast Boy said with a heavy heart filled voice. "Besides, since I've said I was done with her, she has got more time for herself, which is what I think she would want. Just some peace and quiet."

Cyborg looked at him and said, "I don't know man, she seems kind of down since she said that. I think she just wants everything to go back to normal, you pestering her, and she makes snide comments at you."

"Beast Boy smiled and said, "Yeah, but I told her I was done, and frankly I think I am, what she said it really hurt. And I was never mad at her, only at myself. So I figure the only way she gets what she wants is for me to finally leave her alone, and so I am."

"You sure you want to do that B, I mean she looks pretty happy right now," Cyborg said as he pointed to the girl in Beast Boy's arms. Beast Boy looked at her again, and as soon as he did, she moaned slightly and adjusted herself in his arms. Her arms tucked near her chest and her head lying under his, just on Beast Boy's collar bone, with a small smile on her face.

"She's asleep Cy, if she were awake, I'm sure she would have killed me by now," Beast Boy said.

"Maybe, maybe not. I still think you should tell her Beast Boy," Cyborg told his friend. And after that was said he went back to the kitchen to get himself a snack before bed. Beast Boy stood in the hallway for a moment, but then made his way towards Raven's room.

Beast Boy entered her room and saw that nothing had really changed. The book case was still where it was, her globe, the two face statue. And even the wallpaper and carpet design had not changed. He sighed and figured why change what you know. He made his way over to her large bed and gently placed her onto it.

Beast Boy then removed her cloak from her so that she would not be to warm while she slept and placed it on the night stand near her bed. Raven had already made herself comfy on the bed and continued her deep sleep. Beast Boy got the comforter and put it over Raven so that she would be fully comfortable.

After he was sure that she was ok to sleep in her bed he made his way to the door to leave. Once the door opened he stood in its frame and looked back at the sleeping girl in the room. His eyes were now looking down at the floor as he felt a heavy pull in his heart. He walked out of the room and went to his own, his thoughts on what Cyborg had said to him.
