I Hate You, Don't Go

Beast Boys POV;

Raven didn't want to go back to sleep after her nightmare, so I offered to hold her on the club until she had calmed down.

Now I'm laying on the couch, with Raven cuddles up to my side, her head laying gently on my shoulder.

"Hey, Rae." I whisper to her as I brush her hair back. She lays there motionlessly, her breathing even and heavy. She fell asleep. I could help but smile down at her.

"Beast Boy?" Starfire asked, coming over slowly, taking in what she was seeing carefully. "Is Raven asleep?" I nodded as she sat down on the table across from the couch. She just looked at us for a while before smiling, "she cares so much for you, you know?"

I nodded, "I know she does."

She smiled at Raven, "why are you out here?"

"Rae had a bad dream. I offered I lay with her on the couch because she didn't want to go back to bed." I shrugged.

"And yet she fell asleep on you?" She asked. "She must be very comfortable with you, Beast Boy." Her voice was soft as she sighed and stood up. "Everyone's going to be up soon... I'm not sure of you want them to know about this." She warned.

I smiled, "thanks, Star." After she went back into her room, I nudged Raven gently. "Hey, everyone's going to be up soon." I whispered in her ear, resting my head against hers. "I hate to wake you."

She heaved a sigh and moved so she was sitting up, my side feeling cold and bitter without her laying there.

"Are you feeling better?" I asked softly as I sat up and leaning near her.

She leaned her head against my shoulder and sighed quietly. "I can't believe I fell back asleep."

She must be very comfortable with you, Beast Boy, repeated over in my head, small smile spread over my lips.

"I'm glad you were relaxed enough to get a bit more sleep." I said softly as i nuzzled close to her. I heaved a sigh, "I suppose I should make breakfast."

"Go make me some waffles." She said as she pulled away from me and laid back on the couch.

"Anything for you, Rave." I said with a chuckle and went to make breakfast in the kitchen.

"You are infested with the stupid!" Star fire yelled loudly, stomping out into the living area.

Robin ran after her, hot on her tail. "You know, maybe you shouldn't put out so many mixed signals!"

"I don't even know what the mixing of signals has to do with this!" She yelled.

Robin folded his hand over his face. "It means you keep acting differently toward me, Star."

"I am only ever nice to you! You are my friend, Robin!" She crossed her arms over her chest.

Robin seemed so aggravated as he let out a slow breath, "Star. What if I wanted to be more then friends? I'm tired of acting like I have no feelings toward you."

"You're kidding me right?" Raven interrupted their argument. "You never act like uo don't have feelings for her. You've always worn your infatuation worth Starfire on your sleeve. She's just to oblivious to pick up on it."

"Not helping, Raven." Robin growled.

"What are you talking about? What is this, infatuation, you speak of?" Star looked to me.

"Oh come on." I muttered, "Star, he's always had strong feelings for you. How could you not tell?" I said as I put another waffle on a plate.

"I always jus thought he was being nice..." She turned back to look at me, "how long-"

" I'm right here!" Robin yelled.

"Fine." Star said, turning her full attention to him. His face flushed red, "how long have you had these feelings of the love toward me, Robin?"

He opened his mouth, but words didn't come out. He jut shook his head, looking to me for help.

I sighed, "basically sense he's known you, Star."

"He's always been crazy about you." I agreed. "I can't remember a time when it wasn't all about you."

Starfire looked a bit sad as she looked to Robin. "Why have you never informed me of your feelings?"

He sighed and his his face behind his hands. "I was scared of rejection. I always thought that keeping it simple as friends would be best..." He slowly dragged his hands down his face.

It only took Star a few seconds to grab his hand and smile at him, "shall we go to my room and talk this over?" Robins face was full of shock as she dragged him back to her room.

I gawked at them as they retreated, then started laughing. "Those two, finally."

"It will be nice to not have to deal with him talking about her all day anymore." Raven said as she stood and came to sit at the table, helping herself to the waffles.

I smiled, "what if it just makes everything worse? They will be making out everywhere, always holding on to each other, pet names." I shivered, "that's not what I wanna see."

"Crap." She muttered. "We will have to set ground rules, I guess."

I kept my eyes on the table as I drew in a deep breath. It was better to ask quickly then to drag it on and get nervous over the answer.

"Should we talk about us?" I asked quickly, closing my eyes tightly. Raven and I had kissed and I had even stayed with her last night, but that meant nothing. She could have just wanted someone with her lasts night. She might have been scared- and that's what provoked the bad dream.

"I suppose we should." She said quietly through bites of her waffles. "Thank you, by the way. For the food."

I glanced up at her to see her watching me. I smiled at her and nodded, "Anytime, Mama."

There was a long silence before Raven let out a slow breath. "What if I'm asked to leave tomorrow? What if my time is up that quickly, and you could never see me again?"

"Then I would be happy that I got the last day or two to spend with you like i did." I answered without even thinking. "Memories will last a life time... But there's nothing keeping me from coming after you after you leave."

"If you come after me- I'll kill you." She said, making me flinch away from her. "Garfield, I won't be me. I'll be a demon with no feels or considerations. I'll see you as another soul to sweep." She leaned forward and took my hand in hers. "You can't come after me when I leave."

"But, Mama-"

"No buts."

"Then be with me." I said softly. "We don't have much time- and I want to spend it all with you. So be mine." I squeezed her hands in mine.

She smiled tenderly at me, and I've never seen her eyes hold so much adoration toward anything. She nodded, "of course I will." She whispered.

"Morning, Beast Boy!" Cyborg bellowed as he hurried down the hall to us.

We quickly pulled apart, "hey, Cy." I said happily as I dropped two waffles on a plate for him. "Nice and fresh."

He stopped and eyed us for a second. "Morning, Rave." He said, coming I sit down across from us. "Did I... Interrupt something?" A small grin started to pull on his lips.

Raven scoffed, making one of the waffles fly and hit Cyborg in the face. "Don't be gross." She hopped off her chair and went back to the couch where she pulled out a book and cuddles into her cloak to read.

And for the rest of the day, I couldn't take that stupid smile off my face.
