" Hey Beast you want some eggs?" Cyborg taunted.
" No. That'd be like going cannibal. I'll stick with my tofu thanks." He picked at his food for once not really all that hungry.
He ate half the plate and then stood dumping the rest in the trash. He flopped down on the couch and was instantly asleep.
Robin's communicator beeped and he pulled it out. " We have to go. There's trouble down town." They all stood up.
" What about Beast Boy? He looks not well am I correct maybe he had the catching of the sick yes?" Starfire asked looking nervous.
" I'll stay with him." Rave voulenteered.
" Alright Titans move out." They all headed out the door no one noticing Cyborg's smirk.
Raven sat down by B.B.'s head and put a hand to his forehead. He had a fever. 'What had he caught? He hadn't been around any one who was sick lately... had he? 'Wait why do I care? I'm mean it's not like he's my boy friend or anything.' She shook her head roughly.
Beast boy made a slightly disturbed noise and rolled over his head some how managing to end up in Raven's lap.
She smiled and absently ran her fingers through his dark green hair. She realised that he was changing her... she was smiling and didn't feel the ever present weight on her sholders. The weight of the world, litterally, she would decided on her next birthday weither she would save the world or end it. She didn't seem to understand how he could be doing this, making her... smile.
She needed to keep a better handel on her imotions, she couldn't keep up like this. If she keep up such an emotional turm oil the whole planet was in danger. She needed to dissapear again, turn back into a piece of the wall like she'd been before hand. Before what happened last night.
Raven opened her eyes to the dark room. Beast Boy was still asleep his breathing even. Raven watched quietly trying not to feel any emotion. She watched his chest rise nad fall in an ever rythm and his eyes fluttered. She'd never seen him like this, this... light and ungarded. Even if he was always cracking jokes he was never this open while he was awake, She lay there wide awake for hours just watching him sleep thinking she could get use to this. Not that she ever admit it.
She didn't want to give this up though. She liked feeling almost normal, almost completely human. She was human but she wasn't completely human or so she thought. Now she watched, his head still resting against her pale legs, with a impartial look on her face.
Her eyes trailed down his side to his feet and back. He was so much taller than she remembered. She use to be at least three inches taller than him but now, now he towered over her. His hair was a little longer, still spiked though and his eyes were as dark green as always. She was suprised to notice it had taken her till last night to realise just how much she noticed Beast Boy. She once again let an impassive look pace over her pale face. Her violet eyes studied him while he slept. He was on side his face toard her his hands under his head, against her thighs. He was smiling in his sleep though he still had a bad fever that seemed to be rising. Her eyebrows met and her forehead crinkled... this was not good. She gently picked up his head and set it down on the couch walking into the bathrrom and then the kitchen.
She turned on the tap, making sure the water was cold and rang out the wet washcloth walking back over to the couch. She sat down gently next to him and he shot up now awake.
" What? Huh? What happened?" His head was pounding. He looked around his head whipping form side to side.
" Hey relax you have a fever and you need to relax and lay down." His emrald eyes found her violet ones and he relaxed just slightly.
" Where is every one?" He asked looking around wondering why they weren't being watched.
" They left on a mission and I volenteered to stay here with you. You need to lay down but you should probly be in your room." He stood up and stumbled, Rave stood just as fast and caught him her arm around his waist. " Can you walk?"
" I think I might need a little help." His face flushed.
They walked slowly to his room and Beast Boy pushed open the door. His room was unsuprisingly green. His bunk bed was purple and he had a few posters on his walls. He noticed Raven looking around and shot her a sly smiled.
" What, you like what ya see?"
" No-I-mean-well." She flushed and looked down. She helped him over to his bed and then turned to leave.
" Hey. Don't go." He pulled her hand till she ended up sitting on the bed. He started to lay down and she adjusted her spot at just the right time so his head landed in her lap. He put an arm around her kneck and pulled her face closer to his. " This could work." Raven could feel his warm breathe on her face.
" Beast-"
" Garfield. Garfield Mark Logan." He was still so close she could feel his breath on her lips.
" What?" She stopped confused.
" My name. It's accually Garfield Logan..." He shrugged. " Thought you would like to know."
" Alright... mine's Rachel Roth." She smiled widely.
" I'm starting to fall for that smile. Among other things about you." Raven had no idea he could be so charming.
" I-" Beast Boy -Logan- closed the small distant between his mouth and hers. She froze, her whole body shutting down for just a second. Logan wasn't gonna give up though, he tightened his arm around her neck.
' I am not allowed to feel any thing, I am not allowed to feel anything, I am not allowed to feel anything.' Raven chanted over and over again in her head like a montra. She couldn't help it though, when her finger knotted in his hair.
He pulled away his eyes wide, his face flushed. His lips were slightly parted and he was smiling sheepishly.
" I didn't mean to get you sick." He started to pout his green hair falling in his eyes.
" Oh trust me. I don't mind." Raven still didn't quiet get how she ended up on the green teen's chest but... she didn't care.
Beast Boy suddenly realised just how intamite he and Raven were at the moment. She was on his chest alined perfectly with him, her legs lined perfectly with his, her chest with his, her hands tightly gripping his hair in a way that sent his heart spinning. He could feel her heart beat through his spandex shirt and her swimsuite type outfit. He was to concern with what she was wearing to accually think of what to call it.
It was dark purple long sleeved but that was wear the hiding ended, it fit her legs like a swimsuite and left a view of her legs that made Logan's heart race through his chest so fast Raven was scared he might pass out. He smiled though, he had many intentions but passing out was not one of them. He gave her a sly almost sleepy smile and brought her mouth to his again. All the voices in her head were screaming at her; they were all screaming different things but the one dominet thing was: kiss him. She let her lips press against his matching his intensity. Her fingers locked in his hair, suddenly she had to fight to keep her lips on his. Half of her was screaming at her to keep holding on and see where this would take her but the other half was saying how wrong this was, she couldn't let her emotions do this already the rocks that B.B. always trailed into his room were exploding in small pops. His lips parted ever so slightly. She knew he wouldn't force her to do anything she didn't want to but she could feel him wavering as she rolled over, so he was now on top. He adjusted his position holding him self up with his hands so none of his weight touched her. His emrald eyes wer bright and light staring into her violet ones with an almost lust like look.
She studied the face she already knew so well, just wanting the chance to look. His skin was as ever as green as a tree, his eyes were a dark emrald green and full of light. He was smiling that one little, lone, pointed tooth sticking out. His ear were pointed and his hair was also dark green and ruffled, but that wasn't his falt. He kept smiling at her studying the face he also knew by memory.
His emrald eyes trailed along her face, her hair, which was only a shade darker that her eyes. Her face was pale and comepletely smoothe apart from the chakra on her forehead. He smiled and finally his eyes met hers. They stared at each other for a long time searching each other's eyes for... well they really weren't sure but they liked what they both found.
It was very hard for Logan to keep his lips from Raven's but he managed. He sat-or lay- over Raven and waited to see if it was killing her like it had been killing hIm. She tightened her hands in his hair and pulled his face to his again. She could feel his warm breathe and she let her eyes slip closed. His hands trailed down her neck and back sitting comftorably in the dip in her hips.
" Rachel..." Logan tested out the name. " I like it." His lips were still on her's.
" Of course you do... Logan." She sighed the name, something she rarely did.
They didn't talk any more they were a little preoccupied with a few other things.
" Starfire!" Robin called as one of Slade's many technicall toys pounced at her just missing her.
" I am not injured friend Robin." She managed to shoot him a smile that left him breathless.
" Okay Cyborg wait for it... wait... wait... and... NOW!" Cyborg threw Robin and he landed right on Slade throwing him to the ground.
" Robin. You don't honestly think you can win do you?" Slade's voice was as cruel as Robin remembered.
" I'm stronger than you, faster, and besides I've beaten you before I can do it again." He gave Slade a cocky smile.
Slade produced a glowing rod and Robin brought out his staff. The battle began. Robin had the upper hand parrieing, thrusting and jabbing he quickly knocked Slade off his fis feet. Slade jumped up and shot Robin with the rod sending electricity coursing through his veins. He shuttered and quickly knocked the rod away befor hitting Slade again. Cyborg and Starfire had their hands full with the robots and couldn't help him. The fight was long and on both sides painfull. Niether could gain the upper hand but both fought for it. Finally Robin managed to get Slade off his feet and pin him to the ground. Knowing this wasn't the real Slade, it had been much to easy to beat, he jammed the staff into his face breaking open the mask to reveil the wires inside.
" One down one billion to go." He mutterd under his breath turning back to Star and Cy. They were surronded by metal pieces and wore a tired expression.
" Let us head back to the house and do the resting yes?" Starfire asked lowering herself to the floor.
" Ya Star that sounds nice." Robin smiled and they left not noticing they were being watched by a small black camera.
Raven and Beast Boy pulled apart both panting like well a couple of animals. niether had noticed or cared about the dark. He had a huge smile on his flushed face. She was smiling too and her cheeks were pink. She was curled up on his chest his fingers playing with the yellow belt she wore around her waist but which had slipped lower down. He pulled it back into place and twirled it around her waist making her... giggle. ' Wow it's kinda fun to watch her smile and giggle.' The smiled on Garfield's face refused to fade.
" So ya love me yet?" He asked his eyebrows raised.
" Maybe. It all depends." She streched and kissed him again. Their hearts were pounding in a jagged rythem and her finger were now exploring his back trailing down his spine and back up. He was so very skinny, though he was always eating. His arms were around Raven who was suddenly so very small and fragile. They had no idea of the time and they really didn't care. They knew the team would be back and they would most likely be caught but they once again didn't care. They did though pull the blanket over their heads... just in case.
