Chapter 1:
Hang By A Moment
Beast Boy watched his friends and the warmth in his heart grew so massive that he was finding it hard to breathe.
There was Robin, yes, he and Robin had become friends again after Robin realizing that the best man got the best girl. Here now, Robin was passing round a parcel towards the other people in the circle. Yes, they were having a party. And yes, Raven was there too. Robin had certainly changed in looks, his black spiked hair had grown so the spikes now drooped a little. He even had taken his mask off to show his cerulean eyes, however had put it back on quickly to let everyone wonder and dream about his eyes. Even he, Beast Boy had dreamed of Robin's eyes. They were wonders, beautiful in a way. Of course, Beast Boy loved another pair of eyes more than he'd ever love the colour of Robin's eyes.
Looking down at the circle again he's eye's caught the grey ones of one of his best friend's in the whole wide world. Cyborg. Cyborg was one of the reason's Beast Boy was living his life of luxury. Cyborg helped him get over Terra with the help of tofu and letting Beast Boy win him over thousands of times on the game station - of course he had to be pushed to letting Beast Boy win by Raven. Cyborg was also the one who tried to get Beast Boy to eat just a tiny bit of meat - just a incy wincy tiny bit of meat. Thanks to Cyborg, Beast Boy had thrown up for 125 hours. Apart from that terrible day of pure annoyance and throwing up - Beast Boy loved his friend very much. When Beast Boy had been down, Cyborg had cheered him up with his witty humour and their devilish pranks which took Beast Boy's mind off anything that had been bothering him. Of course, there was someone else who made Beast Boy happy.
Moving his eyes to the violet haired person beside Cyborg, Beast Boy forced back a grin.
Raven.
Another friend of his - not his best but she was a very close friend to him and when she wasn't looking - he stuck up for her. When Colad had walked into her life, she had been a confusing person that Beast Boy just couldn't communicate with properly without acting like a fool.
Although now, Beast Boy could say that Raven liked him more than she did when they had first started being the Teen Titans, of course she liked him as a friend then but they hadn't been close and he knew for a fact that he annoyed her like crazy - that wasn't bad at all. It just gave Beast Boy something to laugh about when Raven got pissed madly at him. That was often, but now Raven got over it quicker than usual. He moved his gaze away from his empath friend when she caught him looking at her.
Next to Raven was Colad. Colad was also a good friend of his, brave and idiotic in a way Beast Boy couldn't explain. Like Robin, he had changed in appearance. He's long black matted hair was now put up in a very long pony tail that just stopped at his hips. He's tanned skin was covered in scars from the latest battle with Slade who had escaped from their clutches once more. His black eyes studying everyone carefully, he studied them because he didn't trust many people. Many people didn't trust him either, without Colad knowing, Colad had become one of the most dangerous people alive, nevertheless he's warm smile that showed his pointy canines made him look like a complete softie who had the knack to melt people into a pile of goo with that smile. Colad, Cyborg and Robin was like the three brother's he never had…That made his stomach squirm happily as thought about them being his brothers. Colad often went to visit his real family, all of them were dead. He had nobody apart from Raven and the rest of the Titans. Is that what made Beast Boy like the lycanthrope so much? Obviously he liked someone just as much and more…
Beside Colad sat Terra, she was cross legged and eating a chocolate muffin whilst watching the parcel being passed around. Terra made him happy too - even though she had broken his heart more than once. One, was when she had betrayed the Titans and had captured and broken the city. Of course, Terra by now had paid respect to the city and even helped in bringing it back when she stopped the city's destruction and turned into stone to stop the chaos that would have wiped out the whole city. She came back of course with the help of the mighty Shadow who turned out to be Colad in disguise - something else Beast Boy had to be grateful for. He also had to be grateful for having her.
And there was her. Her beautiful red hair wet from an early shower that just made it sparkle even more than it already had been. Her tanned skin prettier and smoother than Colad's ever could be…And her eyes…Those eyes that matched his perfectly as if they were brothers/sisters. Her smile, she was always wearing it even when she was sad - a sad smile but a smile all the least. He could tell she knew he was watching her as she looked up and smiled at him; she gestured for him to sit next to her. So he joined her in the parcel game.
Beast Boy passed the parcel towards Robin and then turned his eyes towards the other three members who had just come through the door.
"Speedy - a look alike wannabe of Robin. Always tries to say 'Dude' as cool as me but always has failed miserably. Poser.
Bumble Bee - Cy's ex girlfriend. They broke up after Cyborg discovered that she was dating Herald before she got kidnapped by Brother Blood. Bitch.
Aqualad - The only guy I like out of the three, he's Terra's boyfriend and he's the only one I respect out of these three. Cool dude." Beast Boy kept this to himself as he smiled at them. "Dude's! Come join us! We've got loads of parcels to pass!"
Cheering, all three of them jumped into the circle. Bumble Bee sitting next to Colad - which made both Raven and Terra secretly hiss, Speedy sat between Robin and Cyborg whilst Aqualad sat next to Terra.
Beast Boy felt his emerald eyes turn towards the right, he felt her gaze fall onto his and he smiled warmly at her.
Starfire was beautiful.
Playfully, Beast Boy made his hand walk towards Starfire's slowly, teasing her lightly as he pretended to miss her hand and go try to find it again. Once or twice he faked his fingers to trip over hers, except that when their skin touched, Beast Boy found that a shiver was going up his spine.
Finally finding her hands, he put a hand over hers and squeezed it lightly, smiling at her while looking at her sideways. She was returning that smile too - which made him even more happier.
He was brought out of this trance reluctantly by a shout.
"Hey! Lover boy! Pass the parcel!"
Beast Boy looked up to see the smirking figure of Colad. His eyes were wandering over Beast Boy's and Starfire's hands. His eyes did the talking as he changed the smirk into a wide, friendly grin.
"Bastard Colad."
Frowning lightly, Beast Boy passed the parcel to Starfire who was blushing deeply at being caught.
Beast Boy also had the decency to blush, he had decided when he and Starfire had got together. If she was sad, he was sad. If she was lonely, he was lonely. If she frowned, he frowned. If someone ever hurt her, they would hurt him. And then he'd kill the person who hurt her.
This is why he blushed, because if she was embarrassed, he was embarrassed too. He could get back at Colad later, despite that he loved Colad like a brother; Beast Boy never said what kind of brother. A annoying one.
It had been 6 months, 6 months since he had started dating Starfire. He was 16, she was 17. She called him her 'little gorftog' meaning 'toy boy' in Tamaranian language.
He's hair was spikier than normal and stuck all out of place, he wore goggles on the top of his head and his headband helped the hair get off his face. He's pointy ears had gotten even pointier and from a lot of help from Cyborg he now had what looked like computerised enhanced muscles.
Starfire on the other hand, her hair was also in a pony tail. Her red hair lay on the floor it was that long. Her hair also had two plaits that hung over her eyes. Starfire also had grown muscles from her gym activities and her mind had grown more to the human world thanks to Raven's meditation and Beast Boy's often help of understanding what things meant.
He had also grown more mature, of course he still had that streak to pull pranks on people but he couldn't help but act more mature.
He hadn't just grown mature in act but in looks too. He had fan girls swooning over him - More than Robin and just a little less than Colad had. Of course, Starfire would shoot them evil looks and would sometimes 'accidentally' shoot a star bolt at their heads.
He laughed out loud at that thought.
Heads turned towards him, eyebrows raised.
Grinning as he passed the parcel around, Beast Boy lifted his eyebrows back at them.
He felt her eyes burning towards him and he looked at her, he's grin still pasted on his face.
She returned his smile, while getting her hand from under his and placing it on top of his.
"Starfire, you sure hit my fan girls hard." With that, Beast Boy rubbed the back of his head and chuckled freely.
In front of him, Raven smirked. Beast Boy had matured more than she had. In fact, she hadn't matured at all - well, hardly matured. Whenever Beast Boy chuckled or laughed out loud, Raven didn't find it weird. She knew he was remembering, remembering the good and the bad times they all spent together. Beast Boy who used to be a idiotic prankster was now named in her little book 'The Thinker' because he did think. He day dreamed too. Beast Boy had changed a lot, everyone had.
Raven glanced at the person beside her. Cyborg…He'd changed a lot too. Especially him. He had gotten stronger ever since the betrayal of Bumble Bee. More determined than he already was and he wasn't always spending time on his 'baby'. Actually, he was coming with her to the library while he could be doing loads of stuff. She had taught him how to meditate and be calm whenever he lost control of his rage and he had taught her how to control her emotions much more easier than it had been when she first joined the Titans.
Her eyes met with Colad's as she gave him a side ways glance. This game was boring…
Colad seemed to think that as well.
Stretching and yawning at the same time, Colad picked at his earlobe as they all stared at him curiously.
"Why don't we all go get a movie to watch…This is boring." Colad said, slapping his face with his hand to try and awaken himself from this dreary state. "Who suggested this game anyway?"
Raven's lips twitched into an evil smile.
"You."
Colad rubbed his cheek, his memories starting to piece together.
"Oh." He said blandly.
"Well dudes…Who's going to get the movie?" Speedy asked, his voice deeper than it was the last time he had talked to them.
"Jesus…Does he have to steal my 'dude'?" Beast Boy thought with a full frown.
"Me and Star will go fetch it. Won't we Starfire?" Beast Boy shot her a foxy grin, his one canine flashing cunningly at her.
"Yes, come Beast Boy!"
With that Beast Boy and Starfire literally zoomed out of the room.
Robin sighed. "They aren't going to be back."
"No shit Sherlock." Terra agreed, whilst leaning her head on Aqualad's chest.
"Who wants to play Monopoly?"
Raven sighed…
OXOXOXOXO
"They expect us to be back Beast Boy." Starfire said, breathless from the kiss they had just experienced.
"Nah, they don't Starfire." Replied Beast Boy, his hand caressing her cheek as he pulled her in tighter for a long hug.
"Beast Boy…What is your real name?" Starfire asked, smiling lightly as the cheek he was caressing turned red.
Beast Boy dropped his hand, watching Starfire's eyes made his heart race. They were full of curiosity.
"Garfield Logan."
"Koriand'r"
Beast Boy grinned. "That's a beautiful name Dudette. But can I call you something else instead? Koriand'r is a little too long for me!"
Starfire smiled sweetly and nodded slowly. "Of course. Garfield." She said seductively - kissing his pointy ears.
Ever since watching Bridget Jones. Starfire had become more seductive…Not that Beast Boy was complaining.
Blushing shyly, Beast Boy scratched his chin to try and figure out a cool nickname that she wouldn't mind.
"Hmm…How about….Kori? Kori? And you can call me Gar! Kori and Gar! That sounds like the perfect couple huh Dudette?" Beast Boy smirked as he watched his girlfriend twitch uncomfortably. She only did this when she was shy or couldn't find the right words.
"Gar…Garfield. It sounds better…Handsomer." Starfire replied quietly, staring at the ocean that mirrored bright stars in the dark night sky.
Grinning like a idiot, Beast Boy scratched the back of his neck as he realized that sweat was trickling down his neck. HE was still NERVOUS around STARFIRE? Impossible.
"Well, uh, thanks…Star -"
"Please Garfield. Call me Kori." Her sweet smile shone brightly at him, as if she knew that this would make him weak.
Damn straight. It wasn't just making him weak, he was bloody melting at that smile that warmed him up.
"Okay Kori. Listen, and listen very closely Dudette." Beast Boy began, looking up at the stars and smiling. "You know you are supposed to wait a long time to say three words don't you? Well, not a long time. Just when you're ready, right?"
Starfire knitted her brow together in thought, then slowly nodded, trying to understand what her little gorftog was trying to say.
"This is going to sound really corny…"
He gripped her chin gently, forcing her to turn her crimson face towards him so their emerald eyes met.
Pressing his lips against hers, Beast Boy deepened the kiss the moment their lips had touched.
"I love you…" He breathed as they pulled slightly apart.
"Ti amo troppo." Replied Starfire, giggling as Beast Boy pulled away from her. A confused look on his face.
"It means I love you too. Friend Raven learned me how to say that in Italian."
Pulling Beast Boy into a hug, Starfire didn't even hear his bones groan as her grip tightened around his waist.
"Kori! Loosen up your grip!" Beast Boy panted as he tried his hardest not to groan in pain.
Pulling back, her eyes wide and glassy. However, she sniggered as Beast Boy stuck out his tongue in exhaustion.
So together, they both sat, for how long, they didn't know. Whispering and gazing at the stars.
Both thinking that happiness would last forever for them. Luck would always be on their side. Because they was happy.
Beast Boy threw a rock into the ocean, well…That's what he thought anyway.
OXOXOXO
"Speedy you dofus! You smashed a fucking mirror!"
"It wasn't me! A rock hit me on the head and then it hit the mirror and smashed it!"
"Idiot!"
