Scars

Tell Me Everything

Raven was determined to find out what Beast Boy was hiding. Ever since that day he's been avoiding her, she just knew it. Every time she found herself in the same room with him, he would find an excuse to leave. Fortunately no one else has really noticed. Raven has had enough of it. She walked right up to him. "Hey Beast Boy, you got a second?"
Beast Boy looked at his watch. "Sure I've got a second and-whoops there it went!" And with that he turned and began to walk away.
Raven placed her hand on his shoulder. "Come with me." She ordered. "Now."
~outside~
Beast Boy sat on the edge of a rock and threw his legs over the side. "Alright so what do you want?"
Raven stood close behind him. "For you to tell me why you're avoiding me." Her patience was wearing thin with this kid. "And don't tell me it's nothing."
"Trust me, it's better if you don't know." Beast Boy stated simply.
Raven clenched her fists. "Then you're a coward. This is a team, we shouldn't keep secrets."
At this Beast Boy stood up and dug his nails into his palms. "I put up with a lot of names you call me, Raven." He bared his teeth. "But don't you EVER call me a coward! You know nothing about me!" Beast Boy turned his back to her. "And I'm not the only one who keeps secrets."
Raven was shocked at his sudden outburst. Beast Boy never gets angry. She took a deep, calming breath and held her tears back. "I have secrets to protect the people I care about." She choked out.
"Oh so what, do you think I have secrets just for the fun of it?" Beast Boy shot back. "If any of you guys knew...you'd never treat me the same way again." He quietly sat back on the rock. The waves rolled up against his legs. "None of you understand what it's like to be me."
Raven sat next to him. "What do you mean?" She asked him quietly.
"Don't worry about it."
"I worry about it because believe it or not, I care about you."
Beast Boy turned to meet Raven's eyes. "You mean that?"
Raven nodded, which got a smile from Beast Boy. "Now." Raven turned to give him her full attention. "Tell me everything."
