Happy birthday
I was deciding whether or not to make this a one shot or just add it to another of my stories. Guess it turned into a one shot. Please enjoy!
Disclaimer: yes, I own the Teen Titans. I also own a fat cat named Garfield who dances to disco. No, I do not own Teen Titans.
Beast boy lay in bed, starring at the ceiling. Checking the time on his digital clocks, he got up, and slowly made his way down the hallway, making sure to be as quiet as she could. Slowly sliding the common room doors open, he poked his head through and did a quick search before walking in and silently closing it back.
He slowly made his way to the kitchen, opening the refrigerator; he took out a small cupcake. Letting out a long, and drawn out sigh, he sat down at the table. Pulling out a lighter and a candle from a nearby drawer, he lit the candle and stuck it into the cupcake, watching as the wax slowly drips down.
"Happy birthday to me." He whispered, almost inaudible. He starred at the lit candle for a few more seconds before blowing it out, engulfing him in darkness.
"Beast boy?" The lights suddenly turned on, temporally blinding him. It didn't take a genius to guess who it was, with that monotone voice of hers, it could only be Raven. Slightly shocked, he instinctively shot up, causing his chair to fall back with a loud thud!
"Raven! Oh um…what are you doing up this early?" He said, picking up the fallen chair. Raven walked towards the changeling, sitting down across from him.
"I always get up at this hour; it gives me time to meditate. What are you doing up? You usually don't even get out of bed until noon." Beast boy sat back down, staring at the small cupcake with the candle sticking out of it. She put two and two together and… "Today isn't your –"
"Birthday? Yeah, it is." He said this with no emotion. Almost as monotonous as Raven's. Raven's mind was buzzing with thoughts.
'Today is Gar's Birthday? How come I never knew about this? Come to think of it, why haven't any of us celebrated this? Come to think of it, we celebrated all of our birthdays, except for his. Now I feel guilty.'
"Why haven't you told anyone?" She whispered. He look in her eyes, showing no sign of his usual happy-go-lucky self.
"Because me being born is not worth celebrating." Raven starred at his in disbelief.
"What do you mean?" Beast boy scoffed, bringing his attention back to the cupcake.
"Come on Raven, you know all the things that happen to me. All the things I've done. You of all people should know that there is nothing to be happy about my birth." He chuckled slightly. "I'm even more unlucky then Jinx."
"No, you're wrong." Beast boy looked up. "Look, you know I'm not the one to get all touchy but…I'm really happy that you were born."
"Raven I-"Beast boy began quickly cut off by Raven.
"Listen you moron. Without you, the Titans would've never even formed. If it wasn't for your pestering, Cyborg would still be roaming around streets, not knowing where he belonged. Starfire would've been abducted by those alien freaks, and Robin would be patrolling the city, barely even getting time for rest."
"And you?"
"I… I would be dead. The world would be dead. If it wasn't for you…I wouldn't have experienced life and friends, so don't you dare say you are unwanted to this world. The past is past Beast Boy, it's time to start living in the presence."
"Thanks Rae." Beast boy said, giving her a rare, genuine smile. Not one of is goofy grins that usually earned him a smack in a back of the head. But I real smile. Raven got up, and gave a quick peck on the cheek.
"You're only as nauseating as you act. Don't forget that." As she neared the door, she gave a half turn, with a small smile. "You should probably get some rest, because later we are going to have an actual celebration." Beast boy chuckled again, as she stepped the rest of the way through the door.
Beast boy slowly touched the place where she had laid down her kiss, allowing a small smile cross his face. At least now he knew that someone cared.
A sappy ending, I know. It's almost twelve and I am typing while watching Pretty Little Liars. Does anyone else watch that show? Isn't it awesome? Please review!
