Be Mine
Tonight was the night. Sunset, on the beach of the Tower. He was ready to ask her. He couldn't resist any more.
"Hey BB!" exclaimed Cyborg, finally finding something to lull him out of boredom. "What's up?!" This got BB's attention, abruptly pulling him out of his trait of thought. "Not much, Cy, just thinking about tonight…" "Tonight, what's up tonight… wait, are you finally gonna tell her?" asked Cy, slight notes of skepticism laced in his voice. "Yah, dude, I think it's been long enough." said Beast Boy, confident in his decision.
You see, BB's planning on telling a special someone his feelings tonight, after much contemplation over… past experiences…
_-Flashback-_
BB ran back to his room after visiting Terra's grave once again without the others, no longer able to portray a mask of strength. As one could predict, after losing a loved one, even if dying a hero, after an already heart-wrenching betrayal. He couldn't believe she was just… gone. He honestly thought he could change her perspective of the Titans, to change her back to the old Terra he knew and loved, but clearly that didn't work…
'I… will never fall in love… again' he whispered to himself.
And from that day on, he built guarded walls to his heart, vowing never to fall in love again…
_-End of Flashback-_
It had been two years, and BB had officially broken the vow, maybe even for his greater good.
He was, in fact, hopelessly in love.
Yes the traumatized changeling, who had previously stuck his toe in the rushing river called love and suffered the cost of the unforgiving, rushing current many lovers fall into, had once again hopped in for another chance.
But this time, Grass Stain didn't simply skinny dip into the perfectly notorious, blissful waters, yet rather chunky dunked.
Yep, he was hopeless alright.
And tonight, he was going to confess to the lucky maiden his intense feelings, and hope she felt the same, if that were possible
"Alright man, if you think you're ready…" replied Cy, still slightly hesitant.
"Dude, I was born ready!" stated BB with a newfound boldness.
"Okay then, in that case… Go get 'em tiger!" said Cy, officially meeting the confidence pulsing through BB's veins. "Booyah!"
"Thanks dude, I'm gonna go prepare for tonight…"
"Already?!" remarked a baffled Cy. "It's only, like, 9 o'clock!"
"I know dude, but tonight has to be perfect for the lil' lady…" And with that, BB left the Ops room, preparing for the night, excited for what may be in store
'He's so hopeless…'
/Time Lapse: 4:30 PM/
Beast Boy, now in his room, preparing the final details he planned for the upcoming evening, was not feeling as confident as earlier on that day.
'Man, what was I thinking? What if I mess up, stutter, what if she says no? What if…'
Then, as if on command, Beast Boy thought back to the dream he had just a couple nights ago, his inspiration and source of conformation in his rather bold decision…
_-Flashback-_
It was dusk, Beast Boy was running in the barren streets of Jump City, a little blonde beauty cradled in his arms, both laughing out of pure bliss. Their surroundings vanished, it was just the couple, nothing could break the two. Beast Boy could not imagine a better scenario, he couldn't imagine someone better than her. She was too good, too precious to let go of, he couldn't, he wouldn't.
But, as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end.
And, to a certain changeling's dismay, the girl's complexion turned from lively to an inhuman translucent coloring.
"Terra, please…. don't go, I-I …can't lose you …again…" whispered the distraught Green Bean, stifling a sob.
"Beast Boy, what has to be done has to be done. I will always love you, you know that."
"I know Terra… and I love you the same. Can't we stay together, be happy …as a couple?"
"Beast Boy, you know that simply cannot be done. But even so, would you really be happy."
"What do you mean, Ter?"
"You know what I mean. You have been harboring feelings for another for over a year, pretending their nonexistent, but ,Gar, they are. I am sorry, but I must leave, and, as your lover, I want you to move on. You may not realize it now, but she needs it… as much as you do."
And with that, Terra was transparent, slowly fading, once again, from existence. Just from BB's reach.
With great care, BB placed his lost lover on the ground, watching her delicate frame disappear into thin air.
As this reunion neared its expiration, Terra muttered, "Gar, I want you to move on, for me. It's unhealthy to want me at this point. And remember, she needs your love as much as…you…do…"
And with that, Terra was once again
gone.
"Terra…"
At that instant, the Changeling was back at the Tower, the silhouette of a beautiful maiden in the not-so-distant distance, and at that very instant, he knew what had to be done.
"… I'm doing this for you… and for me."
And with that, the now confident Beast Boy ran toward the silhouette with an open mind and welcome, outstretched arms.
"I've missed you…"
_-End Flashback-_
And when remembering this, BB was once again confident in his choice, doing it for his sake and hers.
/Time Lapse: 5:45 PM/
It was time. Beast Boy was restless but paralyzed at the same time. He was donned in simply a sweatshirt and baggy jeans, not the most fashionable choice, but for now, that was of no matter.
He walked up to the special lil lady's door, she having no idea what was in store. He walked up and knocked, energetically yet softly, about to sake her the heavily rehearsed yet foreign invitation, bringing her in to seemingly an innocent outing, surprising her with an extravagant night to remember.
"Hey, you wanna go to the pizza parlor tonight?" Said BB.
"Um, with the time?" she asked, clearly confused.
"Uh, he he, no, actually, I mean just me and you? As friends, of course."
"Oh! Uh.. sure, as friends, I thought you meant… yah." she said, uncharacteristically stuttering, slightly blushing from the whole affair.
"Okay! I mean great! Meet me in the Ops room in 5?"
"5 minutes? O-okay, I guess I'm basically ready… okay, see you in 5."
" 'Kay, 5, got it!"
"Bye"
'Okay, really awkward invite,' thought BB, 'but tonight will make up for it all, it has to…'
/Time Lapse: 5:55 PM/
The two Titans met each other in the Ops room five minutes later, both unprepared for what was in store that night.
"Nice outfit, Grass Stain." she remarked, seeing he was still in his… undesirable, sweats.
"Oh! Uh… thanks…" he remarked, red as a tomato at the season's peak.
She smirked in victory. "Well, shall we? Or are you just going to stand there for a couple of hours blushing like an idiot…"
"Oh, yeah, right… let's go then! He he…"
Really a rough start…
'Remind me exactly how I find this idiot charming…'
Or not…
/Time Lapse: Outside the Tower/
The duo was out of the tower, BB walking toward the beach.
"Hey, Grass Stain, I'm no expert on pizza, but last time I checked, the pizza parlor's this way."
"Actually, I kinda fibbed 'bout that… he" remarked a tentative BB. "I… have a surprise for yah, on the beach."
"Okay then… lead the way…" she said, hoping the changeling didn't notice her trace of a blush, unsure rather to be flattered or afraid. Or both.
BB led the unsuspecting girl over to the newly built dock, where a trail of violet and white rose petals lay on the ground, leading up to a picnic blanket, trademark basket lay in the center.
The changeling sat on the mat, patting the place beside him, motioning the girl to sit next to him.
"BB, t-this is…" she chastened herself for stuttering like a fool, but who could blame her? Who wouldn't be flabbergasted at such an extraordinary sight, all for her? "beautiful." She began to wonder if this was much of a 'friendly' outing.
"Thanks… I'm not a terrific cook, but I hope you'll like it," he smiled his trademark loop-sided grin that most girls melted for.
"BB, someone has never done something so nice for me before… thank you, really." She was not usually this sentimental, but who wouldn't be?
BB, who had regained his confidence at the whole affair, replied, "No problem! Especially for you, you've tolerated me for so long, it's time for me to repay you…"
'He's so thoughtful… I never knew…'
"Well, come on, I'm famished!" joked BB, and he had much more from where that came from.
"Maybe I thanked you too soon…"
"Hey! I speak the truth! What's wrong with that?"
"Well, if you say so, let's eat this already!"
And with that, the two dug into the basket, BB pleased with veg-out pizza (hey, he promised, didn't he?), the lady pleasantly surprised at the monstrous stack of waffles…
_-Time Lapse: 6:20-_
After the two Titans finished their amazing meals, they caught up on much needed conversation, learning even more about the other, BB failing harder each minute, really just wanting to hear his lady's sweet voice.
The two were currently watching the sunset, too early yet to be star gazing. BB knew it was time, time to ask the question, the main reason he set up this very special occasion.
He patted the velvet box in his oversized sweatshirt pocket, as if for luck, for he surely needed it.
He turned his back to the clearly confused girl, pulling off his sweatshirt and baggy pants, revealing to have been donned in a black tux with a deep pink tie and green undershirt. It really suit him (pun intended).
"BB, what…" she asked, now really flabbergasted.
He grabbed the little box out of his forgotten sweatshirt's front pocket and got down on one knee.
He stared right at those beautiful eyes, those eyes he swore he could get lost in for hours. "I've wanted to ask you this for a long time, so…"
He thought he was seeing things when he appeared to catch a glimpse of a tear, hopefully a happy one, on the angel's eye lids, daring to stream down her cheek, quickly to be wiped off. He, not being the best with words, knew no better way to put this statement than up and honest, rehearsed yet foreign on his tongue once again.
Times 10, of course.
He opened the velvet box, revealing a beautiful charm bracelet, but without any charms.
"I want us to fill this bracelet together, to make memories together. I can't stand one more moment without you, I really can't…"
This time, both were aware of the tears, free-flowing from the empath's eyes, a broken dam to gushing pools of the most precious amethyst.
"Rae, will you be my girlfriend?"
A/N: Finally, some fluff! Booyah! Anyway, please review, you don't know how much it means to me, and vote if you want me continue with this! Love y'all! :3
