I don't own Teen Titans, Terra, Beast Boy, the lake, the stars, etc. etc.
What is Love?
Random one-shot I just thought up, LOL. Kinda fluffy…but, eh, oh well. Oh, also, this takes place after Things Change, but Terra magically remembers who she is.
Terra walked out to the lake, sat down and looked at the stars. She felt a hand on her shoulder, and she turned to see Beast Boy standing behind her, a smile on his face.
"Why are you out here so late," he asked.
"Ah, dunno, I guess I just like to sit out here, it's so peaceful."
"Mind if I join you?"
"Not at all," she replied, patting the ground beside her. Beast Boy sat down next to her, and wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
"I can see why you like it out here so much."
"Yeah," she sighed, and readjusted her position, so that she was leaning on Beast Boy's shoulder. "I just feel so calm and relaxed when I'm out here."
"Beast Boy," she said, "Can I ask you something?"
"Sure, what?"
"Well…what do you think love really means?"
"… I really don't know."
"Humor me."
"Well, let's see…I guess, for me, love would be when you care for a certain person more than anything in the world. They are perfect in your eyes, and nothing can ever change that. That the person that you love might not be anything special to someone else, but to you, they are so special to you. If you truly love someone, you would love them unconditionally, and without terms. Love is a special bond between two people that can never be broken." "How's that?"
"Wow that was really…sweet." A faint blush painted itself on Beast Boy's face when she said that.
"What do YOU think it is Terra?"
"Hmm…An unbreakable bond that exists between two people whose ties go deep. Also, two people that are connected by their hearts. Other than that, I don't really know. I have never been really loved in my life. My parents hated me, obviously, I mean, they threw me out of my home, and I was left to my own devices until I met you guys. I thought that I had finally found a good place to stay, but then I betrayed you all. You guys forgave me, and even made me a Titan, but I can tell that all of you still don't trust me completely."
"Terra, that's not true, we do trust you!"
"Really, I have seen the way you guys act around me sometimes."
"But, you are wrong about one thing, you know."
"What?"
"You were wrong when you said that you have never been loved in your life."
"Really, how so?"
"Because you HAVE been loved."
"And how do you know that?"
"Because I love you."
"…Really?"
"Yes, I have loved you all along, and I have just been too afraid to tell you up until now."
"I-I don't know what to say…"
"My question, though, is, do you love ME?"
"Um…"
"People always expect people to fall in love with superheroes, but do they really expect two superheroes to fall in love?"
"Well, people aren't always right."
"So, you do love me?"
"Yes, I do"
"So what does love mean really?"
"Well, I guess we'll just have to find out."
This story is most likely horrible *hides* heh...heh sorry. Still, Please Read & Review!
