Forbidden
Once the teen heroes got home, Robin searched in the central computer for recent deposits in the docks, trying to find the responsible behind Plasmus transportation.
During the afternoon occurred a few bank and jewellery-store robberies. Nothing more of strange happened again. Raven's powers hadn't failed again. And words between her and the green changeling were kept.
The hours passed and from the orange sky changed to the dark night.
After several encounters with criminals, the today's work was done and they returned to base.
The teens entered the living room.
"It is so wonderful to be home again!" Starfire spoke with joy.
"I couldn't agree more." Robin affirmed.
"Specially after one of those days!" Cy added.
The team had dinner at the TV. No one really talked much. Probably because of the hunger.
Cyborg gave a huge yawn while he stretched his arms.
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm off to bed." Cy declared.
"If you excuse me, I will retreat to my room." The alien girl respectfully said.
"Already? I mean…It's not that late." BB said.
"Two words for you: Busy-Day." The tin man informed.
And so, Starfire and Cyborg left the room, and the green one followed them, silently.
As they walk through the corridor Starfire asked:
"You are going to rest as well, friend?"
"Naaa…I'm just going to take a walk…" the animal shifter responded, with a smile.
"Good night for you two."
"For you as well." Starfire wished.
"Yeah, BB. See you tomorrow."
While the two teens went to their respective rooms, Beast Boy went upstairs, to the roof.
Once he got there, he observed the night. Stars were shining above him and the green changeling felt a small tranquillity.
"It's so beautiful. So quiet…"
"Like that night."
He hears the wind. Everything was so peaceful.
"You said that you wouldn't make that mistake again."
"I know, I know."
"That you would work together as a team."
"I know!"
"…"
"It's her, isn't it? You feel it, within you…"
"Just... Give me a second."
His mind was filled with mixed thoughts. Couldn't clear his head. Not in that place.
"I think it's better if I go down again." He thought as he sighed.
He went down stairs, to the living room.
He passed through the door. Nobody was there. He moved to the sofa, and sit.
After a while without doing anything he laid down.
"You really don't have anything better to do, do you?"
"Nope."
"Okay, if that's what you want."
"…"
"Then don't say I didn't warnnnn…"
Soon even his thoughts begun to slowly be ignored, and a light sleep took over him.
His eyes were shut, yet he could see in a more complete way than ever.
His hearing crossed the room and found something.
A body cutting the air with quick movements. The sound of a fist hitting letter.
His sense of smell…Detecting the odour of sweat drops.
And all of the sudden, he senses another thing, that makes him snap out of his sleep.
"Wow!" he said when he quickly gets up.
"What a…"
"Was that…Robin? He did went to the training room…But how did I…?"
He was breathing fast. What he had felt was so unreal.
But then it happened once more.
His ears caught another sound. Someone walking, heading to the corridor. And sensed a sweet smell. Like a perfume.
His heart started to beat like crazy.
"It's her."
The door opened. The gothic girl entered the room, her face uncovered.
He waits a moment before turning around.
She was picking a book from a chair. The green one took the initiative.
"Hi."
"Hi." She responded.
"Forgot the book?"
"Yeah."
The silence prevailed. He turns away his gaze.
She silently gets out of the room.
He listens the door closing.
He gnashed with his teeth.
"Damm it…"
He gets off the sofa in a flash. He walked to the door. It opened.
She was about the middle of the hallway. She stopped walking.
And looks at him.
"It was my fault. I endangered you when I should have kept with the team."
The green one spoke, impulsively.
"I can take care of myself."
Her voice, so cold…
He observed her. His eyes met hers.
"I was afraid to lose you."
She was surprised. She turns her face away.
He walked to her.
"I realized how much afraid I was to never be with you again."
Both hearts begun to beat faster.
He was now right in front of her.
"Beast Boy… You can't…" she tried to say, in a weak tone of voice.
"What? Have feelings for you?" he asked, in an impetuous and frustrated way.
Words were silenced.
The animal shifter's eyes kept focused on her.
Again that feeling.
He approaches to her. She looks at him once again.
His face goes toward hers.
She closes her eyes.
BB sensed that perfume. Her hair touching lightly in his skin.
And then his lips touched hers.
All stopped for a moment.
A passionate kiss.
And a growing sensation. Like thorns piercing his heart.
His body became numb.
The senses made him step back. The moment was interrupted.
He fell on his knees, and then curved his back, his arms leaning on the floor.
"Hurrgh…"
The green one was being tortured from the inside.
"What…Is…Happening?"
He gasped for breath. His heart felt like was going to burst. A dark aura appeared over him.
He was suffering. Right in front of her. It was her fault.
Tears filled her eyes. A hand covered her mouth.
"I told you…Beast Boy, I told you… I'm not supposed to feel… It is forbidden to me…" she said as the tears fell, in a heart-breaking voice.
BB slowly raised up his head.
"Raven…" he called.
She couldn't look. Not into his eyes.
With one quick movement she turned around and ran down the hall.
"Raven, wait…" he tried to say, with one hand in the air and the other leaning on the floor.
His vision soon becomes a blur.
The last thing he sees it's the dark-blue cloak disappearing from the hallway.
His eyes closed, and shadows fell upon him...
