Ch 3

"So, I thought it would be cool if Titans East came over. It's been along time since—

"You've seen your girlfriend. We know you miss her," said BB as he took his tofu out of the microwave and setting it on the table before he dug in.

"Oh yes it would be most glorious to see our friends again after we defeated the Brother of Evil," said Starfire.

"You're making all the arrangements, right Cyborg?" asked Robin.

"Don't worry bird boy I got it covered," he said as Robin glared at him.

"So, it's a party?" asked Raven.

"You bet it is Raven. We're going to party until we drop!" said Cyborg.

"Great, do I have to come?" she asked as BB laughed.

"Unless you want to spend all day in your room making out with BB," he teased.

Raven smirked. "Sounds like a great idea," she said as she saw the confused look on his face and the blush on her boyfriend's face. "What do you say Garfield?" she asked as she smiled at the changeling.

"I uh well are you just teasing me or—

"Relax Beast boy, I was just trying to confuse Cyborg," she said as she rinsed her teacup in the sink and put it away on the table.

"Oh right of course I knew that," said BB as he blushed while rinsing off his plate and putting it away. He heard her laugh, and he thought he was going to die from how amazing it sounded to his ears. "I can definitely get use to your laugh Rae."

"Ok, well I'd better get started on the party for tomorrow," said Cyborg as he left the kitchen along with Robin, who wanted to make sure he stuck to a budget and Starfire, who had some ideas for the party.

Beast boy followed Raven to the living room where he saw a book lying on the couch, and he knew what her plans were. He wanted to spend time with her, but he knew how important books were to her.

Deciding he wanted to take a nap, he changed into a kitten and settled down on the cushion beside Raven's. He had felt the pain from the transformation, but he ignored it. As he felt himself drifting off, he felt the gentle hands of his girlfriend carry him from the cushion to her lap. The warmth of her legs and her fingers stroking his fur was enough to lull him to sleep and make him. 'I'm the luckiest guy in the world,' he thought.

Raven smiled down at the adorable kitten sleeping in her lap before she opened her book and started to read. She found herself distracted by Beast boy. She was still worried about him deep down. She knew him well enough to know that he wasn't all right, and she needed to find out what was going on.

'You could just ask him,' Knowledge suggested.

'A part of me is afraid of what his answer will be,' said Raven.

'You love him Raven. Whatever it is, you will love him no matter what,' said Love.

'I know but what if it's something I can't fix?'

'All you can do is be there for him Raven,' said Knowledge. 'That's what he needs from you.' Raven picked up the kitten on her lap, lightly kissed him on the head, and placed him back down on her lap. She got back to her book.
