Beast Boy P.O.V.
She didn't like that I was following her. If looks could kill, a whole city block would have been destroyed from the look that Raven was giving me while her student tuned the instrument. It was worth it. To know that she was actually here, was just incredible. I almost couldn't believe it. The girl was perfect in every way shape and form and to watch her teach others to strive for her perfection was the most beautiful thing that I had ever seen. Her glasses would fall to the edge of her nose as she leaned down to correct an error that the student made and she would use kind gentle soothing tones that I have never heard from her. I liked that side to her. The sweet, gentle, caring, compassionate side that she tries so desperately to hide. I liked that she was getting comfortable enough around me to let that side show of her. I don't want this moment to end.
"Beast Boy. Beast Boy!" Someone was shaking my arms and she sounded annoyed but this chair is so comfortable. "Beast Boy. Garfield Mark Logan is this what you call making sure I don't run away? Its a good thing that you look adorable when you sleep otherwise I would be gone." The duty that I had given myself came rushing back to me... and something that she said.
"You think I am cute Rae?" I opened one of my eyes to find her cheeks blood red. Oh that was cute, I didn't know that Raven could blush.
"I don't know what you are talking about. Now get your lazy butt to the car or I'll throw you to my apartment, and yes, I am perfectly capable." I gulped, my butt still remembers how good she was at throwing me out the window.
"I am up. I am up like GPA." She gave me her well rehearsed look that said you are the biggest moron and walked out the door in her blue converse, her student no where to be found. I ran to catch up with the beautiful girl... well there is something that happens often. "Hey were is your student?"
"Her parents picked her up an half an hour ago."
"What did you do for that half an hour? Did you really like looking at this beautiful face that much?"
"In your dreams BB. I went out to get a Starbucks next door." Sure enough she held up a paper cup in her hand that I didn't notice before. Wow I am great at this whole babysitting thing. She went out and got Starbucks for half an hour without me noticing. "I needed some alone time to catch up on my reading and you aren't exactly letting me have that time." That was unfortunately fair.
"You know Rae, if you just promise that you won't just leave again then I promise to leave you alone." She looked at my with that sad look in her eyes again. I knew that she was being cautious of her words right now, thinking them through over and over in her mind.
"You don't understand Gar. You don't know what happened that night, what the beast did to me that night. If you knew than you would understand but I can't tell you, Gar. This is my burden to bear in life."
The look in her purple eyes was shattering. Here was the girl that I almost certainly was falling in love with, be scared of me. Scared of growing close to me and her past again. The truth was I didn't know what happened that night, and I am the one that was hurting her. The only other one present besides the broken scared little girl next to me. Why doesn't she understand that I want her to trust me with what happened that night of the incident. She looked away from me, staring at the space above her car that we were walking towards, the color in her face turning a shade of pure white.
"Rae. Stop look at me, please." She didn't look at me. I gently took her chin in my hand and tilted it towards my face. "Rae what you said is true. I don't understand but please make me understand. I am so sorry for whatever it was that night that I did. I want to know what I did to you Rae. Please tell me what happened. I want you to trust me again. Please Rae, let me in."
She looked at me for a few moments while the color again in her face turned back to normal. Slowly and unsure she nodded with tiny movements of her head. "Maybe tomorrow." Well that was a bigger start than I thought that I would get. I gave her a hug then and for the first time since Malichoir, she hugged me back.
