For the first week or so of their relationship, Beast Boy was almost afraid of letting his body make contact with Lightnings. A part of him remembered that the yellow colored teen was capable of surging electricity through himself. He also remembered how painful it was to be shocked.
Often he would tell himself that his fear was silly. Lightning wasn't going to shock him for no good reason. Maybe if he pissed him off enough he would. But that was a different sort of issue.
Beast Boy was mulling over this in his mind when Lightning's yell broke him out of his thoughts.
"Cursed book!" Lightning cried, holding one of his hands up to his eye level to inspect it.
"What happened?" Beast Boy asked in a concerned voice.
It was probably nothing. This was a book after all. Still, it was one of Raven's rare books that weren't supposed to be a spell book. So better safe then sorry.
"It's nothing." Lightning responded, looking slightly grumpy now.
Beast Boy ignored Lightning's gruff response and without even thinking of it, took Lightning's hand gently in his and looked at the finger. Just a paper cut.
"Your right." Beast Boy said. "It's nothing."
Lightning said nothing for a moment before allowing himself a light smile.
"Not entirely nothing… it did finally get you to touch me for once." He said.
For a moment Beast Boy stared at Lightning in surprise. Finally he smiled back and spoke.
"Heh, guess you have a point there." Beast Boy said.
And for a bit, his hand lingered on Lightnings.
