Raven and Beast boy

Chapter 1

End of Episode 35 (Raven)

I bit my lips trying to decide, he is all alone feeling like a monster, and I can help, but maybe he doesn't want my help, maybe he just want to be alone, I, myself, a lot of times I just want to be left alone.

I wait another ten minutes and I decide to go where he is. As I step outside, I can feel the breeze from the ocean, it is so peaceful here, at least sometimes.

He is sitting on the rocks and looking at the ocean, as I get close to him, I can see him better, he seems, sad.

"So, he was the one who hurt you right? Not me?" the worry in his voice makes me feel a hole in my stomach. I can feel his pain.

"He broke into the tower to attack you and end up attacking me too" I explain.

"Augh, I can't believe I ate meat. I acted like a jerk, I'm sorry"

"You weren't yourself"

"Cyborg says the chemicals at the lab messed with my DNA, unleashed something primal"

"And they give you an antidote, you're better now" I say, he's looking at himself on the water, I do that myself sometimes, when I feel like I don't recognize myself anymore, I just stare at myself in the mirror.

"Yeah, but that thing, that beast, it came from inside me, and it's still there I can feel it"

"Good" I say as I sit beside him, we all deal with our demons inside, ones are bigger than others, but we should not be afraid of controlling them. "If it wasn't for that beast I might not be here right now, having that thing inside doesn't make you an animal, knowing when to let it out makes you a man"

"Hmm, maybe you should call me Beast Man from now on" He says, his voice it is much more gleeful.

"We are having a moment here, don't ruin it" I mean it, sometimes I feel like no one truly understands me, but he is the one who gets closer, because our demons have similarities.

"Beast Dude?" he asks again jokingly, but softer this time.

"Hmm" I groan.

We are both on silent, this is nice. Another breeze made his smell get to me, I always tease him about smelling so bad, but it is interesting, he smells like gras or hay mixed with soap. I really want him to feel better, even in those conditions he still saved my life.

I can feel his mood switching, he is more relaxed and is feeling more like himself.

"I'm sorry if sometimes I seem too mean" I say, breaking the silence. "I know it makes you feel bad sometimes".

"It doesn't, it just seems that we are spending less time together, we used to be... Very good friends" he says.

We did spend a lot of time together before, but sometimes my feelings around him are weird and I cannot always afford that, I must be in control all the time, for everyone's sake. Besides, it's not like I'm avoiding him it's just that we don't spend an entire afternoon together like before, that's all.

"Well, do you want to see a movie? I will pick it" I say trying to cheer him up. And I can feel it works.

"You know it!" he says as he gets up in one jump.
