AN: This is a trabble I wrote in the span of about twenty minutes. No, that's not a typo, I mean trabble. It's the term for a short story of exactly 300 words, for those that don't know. And yes, it's EXACTLY 300 words, not counting this author's note and the title. I checked. Underlined stuff is narration. So here we go.
Goose-bumps
The air coming in through my open window sends shivers down my back and raises goose-bumps all over me. I tremble alone, not even thinking of closing the window because I do not want to leave my blankets.
I can't help but wish that there were someone there to wrap their arms around me and keep me warm, but there is no one.
My mind drifts to a certain member of the team that I would want to be here with me…
No! I cannot even allow myself to think about it. I cannot show love… I am capable but I have no idea what my powers would do if I let go of that emotion.
I try to think of something – anything – else, but my mind keeps drifting back to him. Beast Boy. I want to love… I want to love him.
No. It's impossible. He would never love a monster such as me, anyway. Unable to feel, I am like a stone.
I jump as I realize I have been whispering my thoughts to the darkness.
Risking more than even I can imagine, I whisper five words "I love you, Beast Boy," and wait for something to explode. Nothing happens.
I picture his face – those eyes- but my slight smile vanishes as another gust of crisp air caresses my skin.
The cool air is now accompanied by frozen tears that trickle down my face despite me attempts to sway them.
I curl tighter into my blankets, trying to force the cold air away from me. It doesn't work, and I am left alone in the dark, rubbing my arms in an attempt to push back the bumps that have risen on my flesh.
The dark girl will never know that a certain green one could hear her whispering.
