Raven was used to pushing down her emotions, yet every single time that she did, they'd come back with a vengeance. She had hoped that after the incident with Malchior, she'd learn that love wasn't meant for her, but her mind never seemed to register this detail. No matter how hard she tried, there was a certain someone who caught her eye.

Beast Boy.

Although, Raven knew that she fell hard for the changeling, she knew that this was a case of unrecruited love.

After Beast Boy found out that Terra had been freed from the confines of the stone statue, he had been a love-sick fool. Every time he was given a chance, he would go and serenade Terra with flowers and other gifts. However, it always ended the same way; Beast Boy would be rejected. He didn't care though, and persisted, thinking that their love was real.

Raven could not help but sigh whenever Beast Boy returned home with a weak smile. He would say, "Next time, I just know it" only to have his heart broken again.

During the whole Tokyo trip, Raven was attempting to distance herself from the green changeling. She even smacked him several times to make sure he got the message. If he stayed away, maybe the pain would lessen. After all, Raven knew there was no future for them. However, the plan backfired, and Raven found herself forced to watch Beast Boy and his gazillion fan-girls as they chased after him.

Instead of confronting Beast Boy about her feelings, Raven chose to isolate herself from the entire team. Once in a while, she would converse with the other Titans, mainly Cyborg, but never Beast Boy. Once in a while, she could have sworn that there was a defeated expression on his face after looking at her, but she knew that it was meant for Terra. After all, she was only a teammate to him. Nothing more. Nothing less.

At least she had Cyborg. He was like a big brother to her. They were very close due to having bonded through fixing his car. But even he did not know of her feelings towards Beast Boy. Raven had enough common sense to know that if she told Cyborg, the news would be told to Beast Boy in a blink of the eye. After all, they were the best of friends.

But all that matters is that she had a confidant. Someone who she could unleash all her sorrows and regrets on. Someone who knew that she was not just a creepy and depressed hero.

But a persistent thought nagged her. What if Beast Boy could be that person?
