Raven and Beast boy

Chapter 12

Episode 46 (Raven)

Going to my room I realize that telling all of the truth is not that bad, it gives you a sensation of relief. For me at least... The others may try to stay positive, but I know they are afraid too. I acted like I didn't see anything, but Starfire is so worried that she followed Robin to his room tonight.

I'm about to enter my room when I notice a green fly on the wall, ever since he told us that he does things like this I've been extra alert. When I enter my room, the fly follows me and sits quiet in a dark corner of my room. I am tempted to make a joke or to start making him uncomfortable, but I guess it's not the time.

"I know you are here, Beast Boy" I say and he transforms back into his human form.

"I'm sorry, I was getting worried and I thought that, if I'm here, I could help if something..." he says

"I don't need anyone to look up for me, you already know that" I say trying to make him feel better although it might have sound like I'm upset. I appreciate him looking out for me, but I should be the one protecting him, all of them actually, and I'm not even sure I can to that.

"Yeah, I guess. Maybe I was the one who was scared, I know you can take care of yourself Raven, but it still worries me... I'm sorry" he says.

"Don't be" I say as I sit on the edge of my bed and make him a gesture to sit beside me. "I'm afraid too, I don't want any of you to get hurt" I say as I rub my hands together. "I'm not even sure I'm strong enough for all of this".

He stops me by taking my hands in his.

"You are the strongest person I know Raven" he says while looking me in the eyes. "You might not always trust yourself, but I do, I've seen all that you can do"

"And still you are my friend, that sure is amazing" I say thoughtfully, he doesn't care about all the weird stuff, he just sticks by you, that is something you don't see every day.

"You have seen all of the worst sides of me and you still are my friend" he says and smiles at me.

"Yeah, well, even your worst parts are better than any of my bad ones" I say, and I just let myself fall on my back, so my hood just falls too.

He let himself fall on his back too, but more carefully than I did.

"You just say that because you see it from the outside, our monsters seem the worst while looking from the inside, because we feel like we are alone with them " he says while looking at the ceiling.

Sometimes he can be so smart, I like when he makes his jokes and seems so carefree and happy too, but I just really enjoy these moments, his presence it's so warm, when I'm with him like this, it just feels so nice, so peaceful. I move so I rest my head on his chest, I can feel his heartbeat raise, yet still he doesn't move a muscle.

"Are you uncomfortable?" I ask to make sure everything is alright.

"Yeah, everything is... Perfect" he says and put his arm around me.

The movements his chest make every time he breaths, his heartbeats, his scent, everything is so calming that I can feel myself relax completely, my breath is slower, as my heartbeat, and before I realize it I feel asleep.

I only wake in the morning to the sunlight, we've barely moved throughout the night, so his hand is still around me. At first, I'm still sleepy so I don't really realize what is happening, and then I prefer not to move, so I don't wake him up, to prolong as much as I can this moment.

"Morning" I hear him say in a way huskier voice than I'm used to, it's so deep, it kind of makes me shiver a little.

"Good morning" I say as I try to get up. I rub my eyes in an attempt to gain clarity. "We felt asleep"

"Well, you felt asleep and I was planning to stay just a couple more minutes but... I guess I felt asleep too" he explains. "I didn't thought I could sleep last night, so I have to thank you for calming me down, you always do" as he says this my heart just fills with this warm feeling, I can cause him good feelings too, not just confusion and frustration. I don't know what I did but still.

"I wasn't sure I could sleep myself, so I have to thank you too" I say and smile back at him.

This feels weird, but good weird, we are so sleepy and our voices so scratchy.

"Well, if you want to, tonight I might transform into a pretty kitten and sleep at your feet" he says jokingly, although I can feel some intention in his words. I roll my eyes in response. "No? Are you more of a dog person? Cause that works too you know" after he says this, we both laugh.

We start hearing noises from outside my room so we both look at each other, the moment is over, it feels like we have been caught doing something wrong, but we didn't, did we? We are just friends... Still.

"I should go before Cyborg tries to wake me up and sees that I'm not there. Can you open the window?" he asks, and I think I look confused because he explains "I'm flying to the roof and getting inside from there, so I won't be suspicious"

"Yeah sure" I say as I go to the window and open it, he transforms into a raven and that makes me smile, he is so goofy. I look him fly away and get to the roof. I wish I felt worst, but I feel great, I'm doomed.
