I do not own Teen Titans! Please review don't sue!
Chap. 4
Beast Boy grinned happily as he sat down on the semi circle couch and propped his feet up onto the cluttered coffee table.
He felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off of his once burdened shoulders. But there was something else, a strange yet uplifting feeling that added to his joy.
He shrugged it off for the moment and let put a long and tired yawn. He had, after all woken up at 6:00 a.m. (Wow how early!) But anyhow, he was still tired.
Sleep soon overcame him.
"Where is it?" groaned Raven, disgruntled to no one in particular.
It had been two hours since Beast Boy left and she still hadn't found her precious list. It was a list of everything she wanted to do before the end of the world, of all her goals were written on that list, and she was determined to fulfill them.
She sat on her bed and sighed in defeat. She wouldn't be able the find that list alone no matter how hard she tried.
"Maybe Beast Boy can help me." She mumbled.
She rose from her bed and drowsily headed for the common room where she was expecting to find Beast Boy playing a one player game on the game cube and try to beat his personal best on Mega Monkeys 4.
But what she found wasn't what she expected but wasn't so surprising.
Beast Boy was asleep on the couch, his mouth open and drool smothering out of it.
Raven rolled her eyes at this and suppressed a giggle. She reached for a nearby napkin on the coffee table and wiped the drool off of Beast Boy's chin, disgusted.
After disposing of the wet napkin, she sat next to Beast Boy and waited for him to wake up. She didn't want to disturb his sleep.
"Mom…" mumbled Beast Boy softly in his sleep. Raven stared inquisitively at his sleeping body.
Deciding it was just him having some happy dream that involves moms, Raven shrugged off her suspicion.
"Mom!" Beast Boy said again this time with more fear in his voice. His eyes were still closed and he appeared to be asleep, but his hands were shaking.
Raven hesitantly shook his shoulder and whispered soothingly into his ear "Beast Boy wake up!"
His only response was "Mom!!!!!!!!"
She was now very worried and shook him harder.
Beast Boy screamed at the top of his lungs with great panic in his voice "MOM!!!!!" and awoke with a start.
He looked around cautiously and heaved a sigh of relief.
"It… it was all a dream… just a dream, you're never going back there Beast Boy" he told himself shakily.
"Beast Boy are you okay?" Raven asked worriedly.
He didn't respond and unsteadily rose from his place on the couch, still shaking with fear.
"Are you- Beast Boy are you crying?" questioned Raven, surprised.
"N-no" he responded with absolutely no confidence. It was obvious he was lying.
"Don't lie to me Beast Boy, what's wrong."
Beast Boy sighed and let a few tears flow freely down his cheek.
He plopped down next to Raven and buried his head into her shoulder.
"I could have saved her Raven it's all my fault!" he sobbed.
Raven was a bit taken aback by his sudden approach. She definitely hadn't been expecting this.
Raven mumbled words of comfort to Beast Boy and he soon dozed off into her arms.
She felt a bit uncomfortable with his head digging into her shoulder but didn't want to move in fear of waking him from his now peaceful dreams. Besides that Raven felt sorry for Beast Boy. When the Teen Titans first elected a leader and became a team, Robin made it clear that everybody should tell about their pasts.
Everyone's story was sad, Robin's parent's fatal circus act, Star's crazed big sister and dead mother, Cyborg's car accident and dead mother, Beast Boy's deceased parents. Raven had made her past very generic: An alcoholic dad (she didn't mention the word demon) who killed her mom.
(A/N- I'm not sure if these stories are right, but I did the best I could.)
About twenty minutes later Beast Boy woke up with a yawn. He stretched his hands out to the side, accidentally bonking Raven on the nose with his hand.
"Ow!" she yelped, startled.
"Sorry" yawned Beast Boy.
"S'okay," Raven mumbled back. "Umm… Beast Boy you can get off of me now."
"Right" he muttered with a blush as he scooted away from her.
"Look, this might not be the best time considering your little disrupted sleep," she said referring to his nightmare. "But, can you help me find a list I misplaced."
Beast Boy grinned ear to ear and reached into his pocket.
"You mean this list?" he asked teasingly waving the list in front of Raven's face.
"Beast Boy give that back!" shouted Raven, annoyed.
"Ah ah ah" he teased, waving his finger disapprovingly.
"Not until you…" He glanced at the number 10 thing on the list. "Learn to cook!"
Raven heaved a huge sigh. This was going to be a long day.
Muahahahahaha! We kept you in suspense. Sorry for the long wait but we have the FCAT.
For all you northerners, that's the Florida Curriculum Assessment Test.
We like to call it the Florida Child Abuse Test. Lol.
Please review and make our day!
