Prologue
The sun shone down on the upper bunk of Beast Boy's bed. His eyes unwillingly fluttered open, but immediately shut tightly once again at the sight of the bright sunlight as it stung his eyes. He rolled over on his stomach, only to fall asleep again. Or at least he tried. As hard as he tried to relax, close his eyes, he could not fall back to sleep. Reluctantly, he just woke up altogether. He headed for the restroom to brush his teeth and relieve himself, and then walked towards the kitchen for breakfast.
Beast Boy sighed as he opened the fridge to get some tofu out, the clock said it was 6:03 A.M., but Beast Boy usually got up at around 12:30 P.M. He didn't know why he was up so early, Cyborg was still charging up and Starfire was probably still asleep. Robin was always training at this time of day and Raven… knowing her she was probably in her room. Although the changeling was proven wrong when he looked over at the common room, and saw Raven levitating by the huge windows, her legs crossed and hood down. Probably meditating, Beast Boy thought. But once again, he was proven wrong.
"You're up early," Raven said in her monotone voice. Beast Boy was going to say something, but Raven beat him to it.
"Any idea why you can't program your system to wake up this early every morning? It would be useful not having to wake you up every time there's a crime between 2 A.M. and 12 P.M.," she said plainly, not looking away from the window.
Beast Boy sighed groggily. "I'm not a robot. I can't just program myself to wake up earlier like Cyborg would. And it's not my fault I wake up so late…"
"It isn't?"
"Oh, um, well, I'm just a late sleeper, you know?" he said, trying to act cool.
"And that isn't your fault?"
This conversation was a lost cause. He got his tofu and sat down on the couch. Even though he didn't like waking up so early, there were quite a few morning perks he enjoyed, although he rarely was up early enough to experience them. The sunrise was beautiful indeed, although it had not nearly as many colours as the sunset, it was still amazing and Beast Boy decided it was worth getting up at 6.
As the sun slowly but steadily rose, the sunlight started to cover the room. But even though everything was as it seemed, Beast Boy felt there was something peculiar. He looked at Raven. She looked as stunning as ever. The sunlight engulfed her, making her soft violet hair shine and her pale grey skin beam. Her bright violet eyes radiated and glistened in the light, and seemed to glow. She was… beautiful. And Beast Boy knew that. He felt something he never had before. It felt like a spark had been united inside him, or almost like an electrical shock. But it felt good. Real good. Yeah, it was definitely worth waking up at 6 in the morning.
"Why are you staring at me?" The startled Beast Boy snapped back to reality in realization of what he was doing. He tried to think of an excuse.
"What? I wasn't staring at you… I was just… uh, watching a... fly fly around you, that's all," Beast Boy stammered anxiously and let out a nervous chuckle.
"You know watching the sunrise would have been a better excuse, right?" Raven said, not amused.
Dang it! She knew he was lying. "Um, well… uh, I better go… I still have some sleeping to catch up with…" and with that Beast Boy jumped straight up from the couch and sprinted off to his room like a green dash of lightning before any questions were asked. Raven just shook her head and sighed.
Beast Boy lied down in his bed, looking blankly at the ceiling. He had no idea what just happened, and didn't want to know. He felt good… but terrible at the same time. He didn't even have time to finish his breakfast, but now his appetite had faded anyway. He couldn't get back to sleep though, either. So he just thought in his bed, not seeming to do anything. But that wasn't true. Inside his mind, millions of thoughts flooded his brain. 'Why was I staring at her like that? Gosh, I don't even know what was going on. It felt like something I never experienced before… it felt as if I'm now… complete, in a way. It felt as if a million fireflies were flying around inside me… It felt wonderful. I never saw anything like her… so… amazing, stunning, magnificent, so… beautiful in the light of the sun... Wait, did I just think Raven was beautiful? No I didn't! I couldn't have! But… I did. Why though? Why?"
Beast Boy sat up and sighed. "I need a break"
A/N - This is a short chapter for the beginning of the story. It is most likely a prologue, and how this thing came to be. Depending on your point of view this may have happened years ago or in the present. The story can also either take place in the past, future, or present, you can decide that for me ;) School is starting in a day, and I just wanted to whip up something. Hope you enjoy, this will get updated soon enough!
