He stood there, the rain made it difficult to make out the fain lights of the city across the bay.
Locks of his green hair wet and sticking to his forehead, his breathe visible in the cold of the storm, the rain falling harder by the minute. The patters of the drops hitting the tower's roof were mere background noise to the changeling, his arms loosly hanging to his sides and hands unclasped. His knees shaking unbeknownst to him, only they were aware of the cold.
From behind him, the click of the roof's entrance was followed by a figure walking out onto the roof. Cloaked and hooded, the figure stood hidden beneath the darkness of the night and turned to the titan watching over the crashing waters below.
"Beast Boy." She said. He remained a statue, the clouds above and calling of his title falling on deaf ears.
The heroine sighed. "Gar.."
His pointed ears flicked at the nickname, his body shivering from the chills the voice gave him. "I know you hear me, Gar." She said louder, nearing her silent as of late companion.
He sighed, turning his body to rest his eyes on the cloaked female. Her head protected by a dark violet hood, though he still felt her eyes on him in the darkness.
She walked until she stood a foot and a half away, and only a half foot taller. She sensed the grief within him, it was one of her many gifts. She could see the agony and hurt in his face, his once always grinning face, happy demeanor and joking personality replaced with this...this emptiness that was the crestfallen titan before her.
"Everyone's been looking for you." She started, "Hell, I was the only one to suspect where you were. You're going to catch death out here."
To that he sighed, her words seemed to barely hold an effect against him with his expression hardly changing. She sighed.
Her pale hands slid out from her parting cloak, reaching up to pull back her hood. As the fabric slid over her head he could see her face, the deadpanned empath's lavender whirlpools meeting his emerald gems, cracking and bloodshot.
But what once was the emotionless face he was used to was replaced with one of concern. Her arms now wet from the rain reached out and snaked around his neck, their chests just barely meeting.
"Say something, Beast Boy." She asked, though he could her her own resolve breaking out to her knew was walking the line before begging.
"I..." His voice hoarse, the single letter falling from his lips and dropping with the rain. Feeling her presence, her arms around him, giving him strength the long she was. His own hands began to show signs of life as they slowly found their way to her waist. "I-I'm...sorry..."
With that, he nearly fell into her hug. Burying his head into her neck, wrapping his arms around her as her own arms tightened their grasp around him. With the space between them filled, she could feel the shuttering of his body and the jerking of his chest. The sorrow within him fully bloomed as he gave into her affection.
"I.." I tried once more, her hand reaching up to his head. "...I miss them..Rae..."
"Shh..." Raven shushed her changeling love, rocking them back and forth in her grasp as if a mother would a crying child. "I know, Garfield. I'm here now...let it out."
With that, he held her tighter as he let out a shout of anguish, drowned out by the clouds crashing with a great force and sounding with great bass. Raven held him, both now soaked from the yearly storm which graced Jump City on that day.
The same day Beast Boy became an orphan and his parents were taken by fate.
