There she stood, in all her dark and elegant beauty. Raven stood on top of Titans Tower's rooftop staring out at the sea as the sun came down to begin the beautiful evening. But she was not alone, oh no, she was being accompanied by someone very special to her; someone very special to her indeed. He was there for and by her ever since they first became teammates. Through everything, he was always there. He always gave her the slight feeling of hope, no matter how hopeless the situation may have seemed. When Robin, Cyborg, or even Starfire couldn't help Raven out in her most emotional traumatic experiences, he was there. In all his annoying, green, but very loyal glory. And Raven for one, couldn't be more grateful. She heard his footsteps move closer and closer to her, and she smiled softly as she grasped a small penny in her hand as if she would certainly meet her doom if she lost it. To anyone else, they would have thought that penny as worthless or useless, but not to Raven, it was her most prized possession, and a personal memento she held close and dear to her heart.

"Hey! That's a cool penny you got there Rae!" she heard his voice break the comfortable silence. Raven stifled a laugh but still smiled gently up at him

"Yeah, it's very cool indeed" Raven replied with a smirk

"Can I see it?" he asked softly

"Sure" Raven spoke hesitantly, before she slowly lifted her hand and placed the penny in his gloved hand. She saw him look at the coin, then look over at the sea. He pulled his arm back and prepared himself to launch the penny into the crashing waves below.

"What are you doing!" Raven shouted as she grasped his arm and stopped him from flinging her most personal item

"Huh? I was gonna see how far I could throw the penny. Why?" He asked, somewhat confused

"Beast Boy! That penny is special to me!" Raven shouted, not angrily, but definitely not in a friendly manner either.

"What? Why? It's just a penny?" Beast Boy responded, still not grasping the situation.

"Beast Boy! Don't you remember?" Raven asked, quite frankly in shock by Beast Boy's obliviousness to the small coin

"Uh...remember what?" Beast Boy chuckled nervously before scratching the back of his neck like he always did when he was ashamed or embarrassed. Raven stood there for a second, just staring up at him. It had been a whileago, so she could understand why he probably would not remember.

"You…gave me it, before, you know…my father came…"Raven spoke unsurely, feeling slightly hurt that he didn't remember that far back. When she looked back at him, she saw a big smile on his face, a smile that she learned to truly appreciate and love. She raised her eyes, for now it was her turn to be confused.

"Raven…you kept that penny, after all these years?" Beast Boy asked in disbelief, but with his smile still plastered on his face

"Of course, it's very…important to me" Raven whispered before turning her head away from him and bowing her head in embarrassment.

"Important? But it's just a stupid penny I found in the park" Beast Boy laughed. Raven turned around and grew a little hot and furious at the green man.

"It's not just a penny! It's a part of me! It helps me control my emotions, and helps me remember that I can…" Raven's voice steadily drifted away at the last part

"That you can what?" Beast Boy asked her softly

"…that I can…love" Raven finished before again turning her head away, afraid of looking at the green man of her affection

"Oh…" Beast Boy responded in such a way that he almost sounded confused and disappointed

"So…do you mind me asking who you love?" Beast Boy asked nervously

"…take a wild guess" Raven responded emotionlessly

"Uh…firstly, is it a guy?"

"Beast Boy, I'm not a lesbian" Raven responded dryly

"Sorry, just making sure" Beast Boy chuckled nervously again

"Well….is he a titan?" Beast Boy asked

"…yes…" Raven answered, still refusing to look anywhere near Beast Boy

"Um…is he from Titans East?" Beast Boy asked, sounding a bit afraid and uncertain

"No" Raven answered immediately, she heard Beast Boy exhale deeply, seemingly out of relief, but she shook the thought away as she saw him look at her again

"Is he… from our Tower?" the young Changeling asked Raven silently

"…Yes…" Raven responded again, taking in a deep breath

'Now or never Raven' Bravery spoke from inside Raven's mind in Nevermore

'Yeah! C'mon Rae! You can do it! Tell that cutie how much we love him!' Happy Squealed from inside Nevermore starting a large chorus of 'yes' and 'agreed' from the rest of Raven's emotions. Except from Timid who pleaded Raven not to tell Beast Boy out of fear of rejection, but she was slowly being brought out of her shy thoughts as Bravery egged her on. But before Raven could actually saw anything, Beast Boy's voice broke the silence again

"Is he half robot?" Beast Boy asked

"No" Raven responded. She heard Beast Boy exhale disappointedly, as his shoulders slumped down and his ears drooped down, much like a depressed or wounded dog

"He wears a mask, and shouts 'Titans Go' all the time doesn't he?" Beast Boy assumed with a very depressing look on his face

"Oh hell no!" Raven answered in disgust, feeling herself vomit a bit in her mouth. Beast Boy's ears raised again. Suddenly he grew a smile from ear to ear, but then it faded just soon as it appeared. This threw Raven for yet another loop.

"Then I don't know who it is" Beast Boy said as he turned away

"Are you really that dense Beast Boy?" it was Raven's turn to ask the questions

"Hey! Don't go insulting me while I'm down" Beast Boy shot back, but not as angrily as he wanted it to come out

"Beast Boy, what other male did you not guess from this tower? C'mon I know even you can figure this one out" Raven replied with a slight smirk, despite the fact that she felt like caving in and falling flat on the ground, from her nerves getting the best of her.

"Ummm….silkie?" Beast Boy asked

"Ok, now you're starting to get on my nerves. Damn it Beast Boy! I love you!" Raven practically shouted to the heavens. As soon as her confession slipped out, she slapped her hands over her mouth. Her cheeks as red as could be. Beast Boy looked down at her and gave her a smile.

"I knew the entire time Rae, I just wanted you to say it first" Beast Boy chuckled confidently. Raven felt shocked that she was just outsmarted by Beast Boy of all people.

'Wow, even I didn't see that one coming' Knowledge commented from nevermore, while fixing her glasses nonchalantly.

"Uh…." Raven was at a loss of words, as her cheeks felt red hot. But she felt a soft grasp at her hands; she looked down and saw Beast Boy grab her hands gently.

"I love you too Raven" Beast Boy smiled as he leaned down and gently kissed Raven on her charka

"Really?" Raven looked up, fighting the strong urge to jump for joy in a very uncharacteristic manner.

"Really, really Raven" Beast Boy replied with a smile, Raven smiled back

'Kiss him!' Bravery shouted

'Smooch that green hunk!' Happy concurred

'Pfft! Kiss him? Ravish him where he stands! Show him how sexy we think he is!' Lust suggested in a very…well, lusty approach

'No! Just wait! Maybe he doesn't…want to kiss us' Timid whispered still unsure of the situation

Raven just stood there stupidly staring at Beast Boy, while he just looked across the sea with a content smile on his face.

'What are you waiting for Raven! KISS HIM!' Knowledge yelled

'C'mon droopy, kiss that handsome barrel son of a b—'

'Rude!' Happy scolded the very vulgar emotion

'Well he is' Rude tried to justify herself

"Uhh…."Raven stuttered as she continued to stare at Beast Boy with wide eyes from beneath her hood. Beast Boy looked down at her and raised an eyebrow out of concern.

"Hey Rae, are you ok?" Beast Boy asked worriedly (A/N: Hehe! That line rhymed XD)

"KISS HIM!" Ravens emotions yelled so loudly, it nearly gave Raven a headache

Raven just looked up and did the unthinkable. She grabbed Beast Boy's cheeks and smashed her lips against his. Beast Boy was in complete shock but quickly regained his composure as he returned the favor by holding the small of Raven's back with one of his hands and stroking her cheek with his other hand. Raven and her emotions were ecstatic by the feeling of Beast Boy's lips against their own. Yes, even the emotions could feel the kiss in all its admiration and love. Even Anger was feeling weak at the knees by her so called 'Beast's' hungry lips against her own, she could practically feel the Beast inside the kiss and she was in seventh heaven to say the least.

Raven slowly and softly moved her lips in rhythm with Beast Boy. Raven licked his lips for permission to enter, which he agreed by opening his mouth and having his tongue meet hers in a lovers dance. Raven's knees finally gave way as she fell forward but was caught in time by Beast Boy, without having to break the kiss. Finally after a few more minutes of euphoric lip locking, the two new lovers slowly broke away with red cheeks but happy smiles on their faces. Beast Boy reached and cupped Raven's face again.

"I love you Raven, and don't you ever forget that" Beast Boy whispered softly. Raven smiled and took the penny that was still in Beast Boy's right hand and held it up to her lips as she gently kissed it before bringing it down and clasped it over her heart.

"I could never forget that Beast Boy" Raven whispered as a tear of pure happiness slipped down her cheek.

"Yeah, neither can I" Beast Boy responded as he lifted the back of his top uniform to reveal numerous scars he received from Raven over the years. Raven looked guilty and was about to apologize before Beast Boy yet again beat her to the punch

"This one is my favorite" Beast Boy pointed to a spot above his naval to expose a pretty big scar in the shape of a heart, but what got Raven the most was what looked to be a tattoo of a Raven and a Beast inside the scar.

"How…"

"Don't ask" Beast Boy laughed. Raven looked up and laughed with him. Beast Boy smiled before he embraced Raven and the two lovers stood there the rest of night, knowing very well that the rest of their lives would be spent together.

"So you see Hope, that's why that penny is very important to mommy" Raven explained to her four year old daughter. Her daughter looked down at her small animal slippers and twirled her feet in shame.

"So can you help mommy to find the penny?" Raven asked her small daughter softly

"Ok mommy" Hope responded quietly

"Good" Raven responded with a smile as she held her daughter's hand and proceeded to search her suburban home.

Beast Boy, or Garfield Logan, as he was now being called, was in bed feeling under the weather thanks to a flu he caught. While he was napping and Raven was miserably trying to cook him a decent vegetarian meal, Hope snuck into her parents' room and took her mother's 'shiny' penny and played with it along with her other toys. When she heard her mother call her for dinner, Hope dropped the penny and lost it somewhere in her room. So when Raven entered her room she shared with her husband Beast Boy, she noticed that her precious penny was missing. So that where she and her daughter were now, in Hope's room searching every inch for that one little penny.

"Found it mommy!" Hope cried out happily as she held the penny in the air like a trophy. Raven sighed in relief before gently taking the penny from her daughter's small innocent hands and hugged Hope.

"Now do you know not to play with mommy and daddy's things without permission?" Raven asked tenderly again

"Yes mommy, and I'm sowwy. I thought it was just a penny" Hope explained innocently. Raven smiled before kissing her daughter on her own Charka and pinched her pointy ears lovingly and gesturing for her to leave. Raven smiled as she saw her daughter run off happily to play with some of the toys Beast Boy bought for her. Raven walked across the hallway and entered her own room to see Beast Boy sitting up in bed and slowly and hesitantly sipping the tea Raven made for him. He figured Raven's tea was a wise choice over her home-made tofu chicken noodle soup. A wise choice it was. Raven chuckled as she saw her husband make funny faces and stick out his tongue after every sip.

"It takes an acquired taste, but drink up, you need it to feel better" Raven informed him as she sat on his lap and stroked his cheek. Beast Boy smiled as he finished the tea and drifted to sleep. Raven smiled again before she laid down on top of Beast Boy and rested her head on her husband's chest. She reached in her pocket and pulled out the lucky penny and placed on top Beast Boy's heart.

"It's not just a penny" Raven whispered before she too drifted off to slept along with Beast Boy.
