I am aware this could have been written better. I slightly altered Terra's past to work with the rest of this story. Don't Hurt me!
DISCLAIMER: Sadly, I don't own Teen Titans.
3: Pasts
TTTTTT
In Titans Tower, there was a green changeling who had fallen hard for a blonde geomancer. Of course, everybody knew they liked each other, but none of the titans knew how serious it was. Sure, Beast Boy had been sleeping in Terra's room for the past three nights, but they didn't mind. They trusted the two enough to know they weren't going to do anything. And even if they were, that was their business.
The third night at Titans Tower, Terra had insisted Beast Boy stay another night, reminding him that his teddy bear was still in there from the previous night, and why should it go back to his room? He certainly wasn't going to turn down that offer. So once again, he slept in her room, holding her in his arms. She had arrived on Monday, and now that it was Friday later that week, Beast Boy had plenty of time to fill Terra in on what she had missed when she was gone.
They had found that their favorite place to be was on the rocky shoreline of the Tower, where she had went to think the first night she arrived, almost a year ago. As the sun began to set, they went out there again, taking their places on the hard stone to look up at the sky.
"Terra?"
"Hmm?"
"I have something I want to tell you."
The geomancer turned to look at him. It was rare that he was serious, and she could tell quickly that this was going to be one of those times. "What is it?"
He turned away from her. "I wasn't born green, you know. I had a family, both of them were scientists actually. When I was little I was playing outside when I was bitten by a green monkey, and my parents had to create some sort of injection to cure me. I guess it didn't exactly work. I still have what they called sakutia. Anyways, my parents had taken me out on a boating trip, and the boat went over a waterfall," he paused, trying to pull himself together. After all, he was supposed to be the man in this relationship, and didn't want Terra to think he was weak.
"But if it went over," Terra started before coming to realize what had happened.
He nodded. "I saved myself, and I could have saved them."
"It wasn't your fault," she soothed, moving closer to him and putting her arms around his waist.
He laughed, though it was sad more than anything else. "That's what the doom patrol told me too. I was being 'raised' by a man who tried to kill me before they came in."
"Beast Boy…"
"Garfield," he said quietly.
"What?"
"It's my name. Garfield Mark Logan," he blushed, though still upset.
"hm… Gar. I like it."
"It sounds better when you say it," he mumbled, trying to hide his blush.
She kissed the small area under his right ear. "I don't think you should worry so much, okay? We've all had terrible pasts. That's why we make such a good team, isn't it?"
"I guess so," he sighed. "What's yours?"
"My what?"
"Your past," he explained, turning to look at her. "I don't know anything about you before you met the titans."
"Oh," she paled.
"You don't have to if you don't want to," he said quickly, not wanting to make her uncomfortable.
"No, it's alright." There was a long pause before she began. First off, my given name is Tara Markov. I refuse to be called Tara anymore; it brings back bad memories. I am, or was I guess, the illegitimate daughter of the king of Markovia. I have a half brother named Brion, and when we were little, we were captured by these scientists, who tortured us. When we finally escaped, we found that we had power over the earth. I'm not sure where Brion went, but I came here. Markovia wouldn't accept me back; they never really liked me in the first place. After that I found the titans and… you know the rest."
Beast Boy pulled her tighter, and kissed the top of her head. "I always knew you were royalty," he said quietly.
Terra rolled her eyes, though he couldn't see it. "You're such a flirt."
"Obviously. Only to my Terra."
She smiled, kissing the point of his ear. "I'm really lucky."
"What? Why?"
Terra giggled, and Beast Boy nearly melted. That laugh just had something to it that he loved. "Because I have you," she explained, causing him to blush.
They fell into silence, watching the sky as the sun sank down into the horizon in bursts of red and orange.
Terra turned, and rested her forehead against Beast Boy's. "I love you Gar."
He blushed, loving how his name sounded when she was the one saying it. He closed the space in-between them, neither of them breaking apart for what seemed like hours. "I love you too, Terra."
TTTTTT
This is really mushy, even for me. Next chapter might be a little less fluffy, with some other titans in it. Most likely Cyborg, because I already have an idea for that. ANYWAYS… I hope you liked it!
