Author notes: This was originally written for a romance challenge, but I deleted those. Now I'm going back and reposting the best ones separately. The prompt for this one was "Dawn". Written before the episode Things Change.
Every morning by dawn's light, Beast Boy comes to visit me. Every day he brings a rose and a smile, and sometimes the other Titans. He tells me about the events of the day before and how much he misses me. I miss him, too.
I remember him telling me about their trip to Tamaran, and Starfire's arranged marriage. I can just see the look on Robin's face now! I'm glad she didn't go through with it, though. Robin has his issues, but he really loves Starfire...even if he'd never admit it. At least they should be happy. He told me about the time he accidentally gave Cyborg a computer virus. I wish I could have laughed at all the things he did. Beast Boy felt horrible, though. So guilty he transformed himself into a amoeba to help fight off the virus. And who could forget Silkie?! Who knew Beast Boy would actually keep one of Killer Moth's mutant worms as a pet?! But the day I remember the most was the day he told me Slade was still alive.
"Well, not alive alive," he had said. "Robin said he was like a skeleton, at least he was last time he saw him. He said Slade was trying to get back his body from Trigon, but we don't know if he ever did." He seemed a little hesitant to go on. "We've known about him for a while now, but I wasn't sure if I wanted to tell you. I mean...if you can hear what I say, you would be scared and..." He sighed at the thought. "But you can't hear me, can you?"
I wanted so much to answer him, to tell him I could and how much it meant to me that he would come and talk to me every day. But I couldn't. I guess that's why he didn't want to tell me about Slade. He knew I couldn't do anything, even if I knew.
"I won't give up, Terra," he told me. "I won't give up until I find a way to bring you back." Then he kissed my cheek and walked away.
I hope he finds a way soon. I'm tired of not kissing him back.
