Destined For Each Other
Tarzan Boy
A/N: Alright folks! I'm officially starting my own one-shot collection today! Yay!! Anyways, in case you all don't know me, I'm ChicoMagnifico. I'm the author of "What Doesn't Kill You, Only Makes You Stranger!" Perhaps my MOST popular story! Lol! If you haven't already, you should definitely give it a look see, and review while you're at it! Anyways I hope you all enjoy my first Teen Titans one-shot!
Disclaimer: I do NOT own the Teen Titans…alright now that, that's out of the way, let's get started!! : )
It was a quiet, early morning in the Titan's Tower, a little too early for a certain green-skinned teenager to be up. But if you haven't guessed it, he was up watching a movie. Interestingly enough, he was watching Tarzan. Beast Boy's eyes were glued on the screen as he saw Tarzan maneuver instinctively through the jungle. He watched in amazement as the ape-man swung on vines, slid on tree branches, and jumped high above the tree tops. Suddenly the door to the common room swished open to reveal Cyborg yawning and scratching his rear end as he made a beeline to the fridge. He looked over at the couch to see Beast Boy, watching T.V. zombified.
"Yo BB, don't tell me you pulled an all nigther!!" Cyborg shouted from the kitchen. Receiving no response from the green teen, Cyborg made his way over to the couch. He walked up in front of Beast Boy and began to wave his hands up and down in front of Beast Boy's face, but still received no reply. Cyborg began to grow frustrated but was interrupted as Robin and Starfire came beaming through the front doors, holding each other's hands.
"Hey BB, the two love birds just came bursting through the door! Doesn't that give you an idea? Huh? Huh?" Cyborg nudged Beast Boy, winking at him and giving a knowing smile. But still, Beast Boy was unmoved.
"Forget ya man!" Cyborg shouted as he walked back to the kitchen
"Greetings friends! Is today not the most glorious morning?" Starfire greeted gleefully, while Robin nodded his head with a big goofy smile on his face. Cyborg raised his eyebrow at Robin, but went back to cooking his bacon. Finally Raven entered the common room, and went straight for the cup boards. Beast Boy's nose twitched a little at the strong smell of lavender radiating from Raven. He quickly snapped out of his trance and headed to the table to sit with the rest of his team mates.
"Oh sure! Come over for Raven" Cyborg grumbled, Raven heard and blushed lightly under her hood. Beast Boy just shrugged it off as he prepared himself a tofu breakfast and sat down in between Cyborg and Raven.
"So, friends, how have you all slumbered this past evening?" Starfire asked sweetly
"Good" Cyborg answered as he chewed his eggs and Bacon
"Can't complain" Raven answered deadpanned as she took a sip of her tea
"Eh…I didn't sleep, I was too busy watching movies and playing Mega Monkeys 4! Oh and Cyborg, you should really check out the top scores!" Beast Boy smiled cockily
"Pfft! Just wait until I finish breakfast, and then I'll pop your bubble nicely!" Cyborg smirked
"Ya sure! Anyways, how was your night Star?" Beast Boy asked with a friendly smile
"It was marvelous! Me and Robin spent the night…"
"UM!! What she's means to say, is that we spent the night chatting away!" Robin answered swiftly
"Ya suuuuure" Cyborg grinned knowingly, Robin blushed a ruby crimson on his cheeks.
"Anyways, dudes! I just got the coolest idea ever!!" Beast Boy cried out excitingly. Everyone looked at him with quirked eyebrows.
"Well?" Robin asked
"I'm gonna spend a whole week…in the wild!!" Beast Boy said, exposing his trademark boyish grin. Everyone looked at each other, before bursting out in laughter, minus Raven of course.
"Y-you! In t-the w-w-wild!?!?!" Cyborg cracked up
"Ya Beast Boy, you wouldn't last two days!!" Robin said in between laughs
"Dudes!! I so would!!" Beast Boy retorted, crossing his arms over his chest
"BB, you're the first one to complain when the power's out" Cyborg stated dryly
"And the first to complain when the water is too cold" Robin added
"And the first to whine that 'there's nothing to do'" Raven said in her usual monotone
"And did you not request to sleep in my room last week, claiming that you had a 'bad dream?'" Starfire added
"HE WHAT!?!" Robin was fuming
"So!? Did you guys forget that I was raised in Africa??" Beast Boy defended
"Still, what made you have such a 'brilliant' idea?" Raven asked
"Well I was watching Tarzan last night, and I just got all these funny feelings of going back to my African roots!" Beast Boy explained
"You mean nostalgia?" Raven asked
"Gesundheit! (Bless you!)" Beast Boy smiled at Raven, who sighed in exasperation
"Beast Boy, let's think logically for a moment…where would you go? And what if there's an emergency? And what if something happens to you?" Robin tried to reason
"Robin, first off, I would just hang at the island across from the tower! Secondly, there's hasn't been an emergency since Tokyo! And thirdly, dudes! I have animal powers! Duh!" Beast Boy clarified confidently
"Hmm…he makes a good point Robin, besides, I can't wait to see him crawl back crying after the first night!!" Cyborg laughed again
"Very well Beast Boy, you have one week! That's it!" Robin made clear
"Dude!! You're the best!! I'll get ready right now!!" Beast Boy yelled eagerly as he dashed out the common room in record time.
"I have a bad feeling about this" Raven admitted wryly
"We all do, that's why you're gonna convince him to stay" Robin declared
"What? Why me?" Raven questioned
"Because, the little green bean has a MAJOR crush on ya Rae" Cyborg snickered, receiving a blush and a death glare from Raven.
"It's true Raven. Besides I know you…return his feelings" Robin chuckled
"I do NOT" Raven replied frustrated
"Um…Raven, mind connection, remember?" Robin chuckled again, as he pointed to his temple. Raven blushed as her secrete admiration for the green titan was out in the open. Starfire was beaming with joy, before trapping Raven in a hug. Raven broke out of the hug and headed towards the exit.
"Consider our mind connection over, bird boy!" Raven grunted angrily as she headed out to find Beast Boy. Robin just shrugged as he continued to eat his breakfast.
Meanwhile, Beast Boy was checking himself out in his mirror before growing a cocky smile on his face. He left his room and proceeded to exit the Tower. As he turned the corner, he accidently bumped into Raven.
"I'm so sorry Raven!" Beast Boy apologized as he offered his hand to Raven. Raven accepted the help, but when she looked up, her eyes grew wide in shock. Beast Boy was wearing nothing but a loan clothe. Raven's cheeks grew hot and red, at seeing Beast Boy in this light. She pulled her hood over her head. Beast Boy saw her blush, and grinned cockily again.
"You like?" Beast Boy asked in a deep voice as he puffed out his chest in emphasis. For once Raven found herself at lost for words.
"C'mon Rae, you know I'm your Tarzan Boy!" Beast Boy gloated as he began to flex. Raven rolled her eyes, but had a ghost of a smile on her face.
"You're my sexy ape-man alright" Raven replied in her trademark monotone
"Ha! I knew it!!" Beast Boy pointed and grinned widely. Raven was shocked that Beast Boy read past her emotionless statement.
"What makes you think I wasn't being sarcastic?" Raven questioned
"Your smile tipped me off!" Beast Boy smiled, pointing at her mouth. Raven blushed and turned to leave, but she felt Beast Boy's gentle hand grab her shoulder.
"Don't be embarrassed…I…uh…like it" Beast Boy said as he rubbed the back of his awkwardly
"Like what?" Raven asked
"Your smile" Beast Boy answered, smiling warmly. Raven returned the gesture
"Thank you" Raven whispered as both their cheeks turned red
"But don't get used to it" Raven clarified back to her monotone as she walked away and headed back to the common room
"Raven! Wait up!" Beast Boy ran after the empath, but not before he tripped over his own feet and stumbled into the common room. Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg turned their heads to see Beast Boy, half naked and on the floor in an awkward position
"Some Tarzan boy" Raven acknowledged sarcastically as the other three titans burst out in hysterical laughter again.
