"Raven I have to talk to you," Garfield said. He was standing outside of her door, looking at her from the crack that she peered through.

"Can it wait? I want to be alone right now," Raven said, about to close the door on him.

"No. It has to be right now," he said. Raven looked down and saw that his right hand was bleeding. Realizing that she saw his hand, he quickly placed it behind his back.

"Okay, come in."

"Raven we've known each other for a while now," he started slowly.

"Oh no, I think I know where this is going," she began talking while he was talking.

"And I have been feeling a little different lately," he continued.

"Your getting caught up in your emotions, and probably feeling something that you are recognizing for something else," she also continued.

"And I've come to the conclusion that I really like you, possibly love you," he said.

"And though I am flattered that you might have some feelings for me, it really can't be," she said.

Pause

"Why not?" BB said.

"Because I just don't see you like that. There are other things also. My powers react to my emotions, and that could mean trouble for anyone that I might care for. Our personalities are really different, and I am a dark being. My only hope for having a semi-normal relationship can exist with another dark being," Raven said. There was a pause where neither one said anything. It last for several minutes. Raven waited for BB to say something, but hearing nothing from him made her think that the conversation was over.

"I don't care," he said as she was closing the door.

"What do you mean you don't care? Come inside my room, lets get out of the hallway," she said.

"No, I'm fine, "he said. "Those are all pretty good reasons, but they don't help me at all."

He is being difficult she thought. "Beast boy, please come in." Beast Boy finally walks into her room, but he doesn't take a seat. He just stands right by the door, now on the opposite side. Raven closes the door and turns around slowly. "I can't give you what you want Beast Boy, and I'm sorry, but your going to have to understand that."

"Raven, once, maybe twice in a guys life will he do something for someone that is completely irrational, and he knows its irrational. He knows that the odds of staying with this person forever is the exact same as hating this person next week, but still, he's going all out for this crush," he said.

What in the world is going on she thought. Is he serious?

Raven, I don't care what you think, I'm going all out for you. From now on, know that if we are in the same room, all of my attention will be on you. From my viewpoint, you just don't feel it. But I am going to make it impossible for you not to feel it. Really soon, you will feel the love that I have for you wherever you go. You'll just know that I care about you and its not going anywhere," he said.

Raven was speechless. Or rather, her speech couldn't compare to his. She had never seen him this serious before. "How can you be so serious? Your never this serious?"

"Not many things can be taken seriously Raven, but when I decide that something is important to me and it should be taken seriously, then for atleast a moment, I have to make it serious. I had to do that now, because I didn't want you to think I was joking. I want it to be perfectly clear that I am serious about wanting to be with you. So if you see me joking after this, and think I was playing a prank, remember this moment. This one serious moment I gave you," he said.

Beast Boy maneuvers his way around Raven and begins to leave her room. He turns to face her one last time.

"You are a positive effect on me, and if I had my way, you would always be near me," he said.

"Beast Boy, why can't you respect my choice?" Raven said.

Looking down, he says, "Because this is about my heart, and its too important to leave up to you right now."

He exits, and Raven lays down on her bed. "Well that was unexpected."
