A/N

This will be just a short chapter story about bbrae as usual. I don't think it will go for that long.

Disclaimer: if I owned teen titans it would never have been cancelled.

Beastboy scratched his arm again. Raven glanced at him but he didn't meet her gaze. She had noticed he had been scratching for a while now, though the other titans didn't even glance at it.

It annoyed her how she didn't know. Beastboy seemed to have set up a mental barrier stopping her from finding out what he was scratching.

That night raven got up out of her bed. She had been thinking about what he had been scratching all night and wanted some herbal tea to calm her mind. In the kitchen she poured some tea into her mug.

Suddenly a blast came from behind her. Spinning around, she got into a fighting stance. Who would attack at this time of night? She thought. Hands glowing, she noticed her tea boiling. Quickly putting down the mug, she noticed that the game station was still on.

Sighing she went to turn it off. "Hey!" came a voice. "I was playing that!"

"Beastboy, why are you playing in the middle of the night?" raven asked the green teen who was sitting on the couch. "Couldn't sleep," he said dully. "Wanna play?" he then asked, with a grin and handed a controller to her.

Usually raven would decline. But Beastboy had been scratching for 2 weeks and she wanted to know why. So she took the controller out of his hands and sat next to him. He seemed surprized she accepted.

"Do you know how to play?" he asked. On the screen there were zombies surrounding two players. "You just aim at the zombies and click the button to make them go away right?" she said.

"Y-yeah" Beastboy stuttered. "I guess watching me and cyborg play all the time rubbed off on you," he said, making light of the heavy tension in the air. "I guess it did" raven replied.

Beastboy had stopped playing ages ago, just sitting staring at the screen as raven totally smashed through cyborgs high score. Raven didn't want to admit it, but the games Beastboy played were really fun!

When the game was over she turned to the changeling. "Beastboy?" raven waved her hand in front of his face. "Huh? Oh… uh your really good you know." He said. "Yeah I guess" raven said and fell into silence.

After an awkward moment in silence, raven turned to Beastboy. "Do you want to watch a movie?" she asked. Beastboy looked surprised. "Um yeah sure. Which one?"

Rooting through all the movies she pulled out beauty and the beast. "Is this one ok?" she asked the green teen. He nodded quietly.

Halfway through the movie, raven looked at Beastboy. He was very engrossed in what was happening on screen so she took this chance to try and find out what was going on in his head.

Going into his mind she found, to her disappointment that his barriers were weaker, but not down. Sighing she left his mind only to find him scratching again.

Later, when the movie was over, Beastboy went to the fridge and got some tofu out. "Want some?" he asked raven. She shook her head and he absent mindedly started scratching again. Raven was growing annoyed at this and decided she was going to find out. Now.

"Why do you keep scratching your arm?" she deadpanned. Beastboy suddenly froze and started to choke on the tofu. He got up and got a drink then turned to raven. "I haven't been scratching my arm." He said blandly.

Raven rolled her eyes. "You just started choking when I said that, you cant pretend you haven't been scratching. I do notice."

"I don't wanna talk about it," Beastboy mumbled, turning away. Raven hesitated for a moment, then quickly moved forward and grabbed his arm.

"No raven stop!" Beastboy cried, struggling against her grip. Raven started to pull his sleeve up and he turned away, unable to look at her or his arm.

Raven gasped as she revealed his arm. All the way up his arm were scabs of little knife wounds; a few of them were still fresh. Dropping his arm in shock raven stared at Beastboy, who would still not look her way.

"How long have you been doing this to yourself?" she whispered to him under her breath. His answer was mumbled and inaudible. "What was that?" she asked. "Since doom patrol, maybe a bit before." He answered.

Raven took no notice to the tears that had suddenly pricked her eyes. "How did we let this happen?" she whispered, as much to herself as to him. "It wasn't your fault, I didn't want you to know. They're disgusting, I can't even look at them." He told her.

They sat together for a while; raven kept kicking herself that she never knew and Beastboy was upset she found out. "Im sorry" raven said. "So sorry."

"Rae, you're crying," Beastboy whispered to her. Only then did she feel her wet cheeks. She looked at Beastboy. "You are too," she choked out.

"You can't tell anyone Rae! Please!" Beastboy said, suddenly jerking up. Raven thought for a moment. "Only if you promise to come to me when ever you feel like doing… this." Beastboy hesitated. "Please Beastboy, I can help." She whispered to him.

"Okay. I-I'm sorry you had to see them." He said after a while. And neither of them bothered to get up. So they sat on the couch, arms rapped around each other for comfort.

Well that was chapter 1. It was short, I know but the chapters will get longer! R & R please! I like hearing feedback! Also tell me if raven was a bit OOC in this. I think she was a bit but I'm not sure so tell me! Also tell me if you want her OOC or still normal.
