13: Makeshift Ball
TTTTTT
"Oh friends!" Starfire exclaimed as she flew through the tower in pure bliss. "This shall be the greatest night ever!"
Beast Boy snuck a glance at Terra. She was sitting on the sofa, looking up at Starfire with amusement. Ever since Robin had agreed to let the Titans have a ball, the alien princess had been planning the night's events. Even Terra had to admit, it sounded kind of fun.
She turned to look at Beast Boy. "You excited?" she asked.
He furrowed his eyebrows. "I'm not really sure."
"What do you mean 'you're not sure'?" she asked, turning her body to face him and propping her chin up with one thin arm.
"On one hand, I have to dress up," he made a face. "On the other hand, you have to dress up," he was now smiling, rather mischievously.
Terra rolled her eyes. "You're corny."
"But…" he prompted.
"But I love you," Terra sighed, trying to look frustrated.
"That's what I thought," he smirked, pecking her on the lips.
"Friend Terra! It is time to get ready!" Starfire called from the doors.
"Lord, help me," Terra muttered as she headed off to be made over.
TTTTTT
"What's taking them so long?" Beast Boy complained, unable to stand still in his tux. He nervously shifted from foot to foot, wishing something would happen to take his mind off how uncomfortable he was.
"They're girls," Cyborg muttered, from where he sat in the main room. Even he had dressed for the event, donning a tuxedo jacket and tie.
"Still, I wish they'd…"
The doors swished open, and the changeling was cut off mid-sentence. Starfire came out first, smiling larger than life at Robin, and Raven and Terra followed behind.
The geomancer walked over to Beast Boy, swaying her hips and trying not to blush. "How do I look?" she asked, looking anywhere but his eyes.
Beast Boy found himself unable to speak; apparently, his breath decided it had somewhere else very important to be at that moment. "You… uh… you look…"
Terra smiled. "You don't look so bad yourself," she smiled, kissing his nose.
The doorbell rang, echoing throughout the tower. The others had arrived.
Starfire squealed with joy. "Our friends are here! Let the party begin!" She exclaimed as she headed for the front door.
In a matter of seconds, the living room was filled with Titans from nearly everywhere. Robin had consented to a ball, yes, but only for the Titans who had their own group somewhere in the country. This didn't bother anybody, as it included all of the Titans East (Aqualad having found Raven the second he walked in), and the new branch of Titans who had their base further north. These included Argent, Hotspot, Jericho, Kid Flash, and Jinx (most of the time anyway. Jinx was a new Titan, and was prone to leave the tower if Kid Flash ticked her off.)
"No way!" Terra could hear Beast Boy's voice rising up over the music. In a moment he was by her side, tugging on her arm. "Dude! You have to see this!"
Terra simply rolled her eyes as she let her boyfriend drag her into the dining area. She looked around for a moment, trying to figure out what it was that had gotten him so excited. "You mean Jinx and KF?" she asked, looking at the two slow dancing. "I kind of knew about that."
The changeling wrinkled his nose. "No. I'll give you one more try," he said, his small fang poking out a little as he grinned.
"Um…" she glanced around again. "Cy and Bee look like they're getting along pretty well. And Aqualad's hitting on Raven."
Beast Boy rubbed the back of his head. "Dude, you are such a girl sometimes."
"What is that supposed to mean?" she teased, putting her hands on her hips.
Beast Boy turned around and thrust his hands out repeatedly. "Chocolate. Fountain. Hello? How could you not notice that?!"
Terra's smirk blossomed into a full-fledged smile. "You're such a child."
"But you love that!" he said defensively, throwing his hands in the air.
"That I do," she replied. "Now what do you think we should cover in chocolate?"
TTTTTT
"That was arguably the second-best night I've ever had," Beast Boy announced as he and Terra sat on the rocks outside the Tower.
"Second best?" she questioned.
"The first was the day you came back," he responded quietly, trying not to blush.
"You're sweet," she said, only half-joking. They lapsed into silence, and Terra began to play with the hem of her dress aimlessly.
"You really shouldn't be out here with that thing on."
"What?"
"The dress. The salt water could ruin it."
"I don't care," Terra responded, digging her bare feet deeper into the sand. "It's not like I'm going to wear it again, right?"
"In that case… Try to catch me!" Beast Boy shouted, jumping up and nimbly leaping from rock to rock.
"Come on!" the geomancer shouted, pulling up a rock and jumping on. She sure wasn't going to catch him on foot, and he never said she couldn't use her powers…
She turned the corner of the Tower: no Beast Boy. She shrugged, and circled the building, ending up where she had started. Where was he?
"Beast Boy?" she called out, half afraid he was going to jump out at her, half hoping he would.
"You rang?" came his voice, almost laughing, from behind her.
Terra gave a little scream, and momentarily lost her grip on the rock they were both standing on, sending them into the shallows of the cold ocean.
She fell first, on her back with Beast Boy above her, on his hands and knees. His emerald eyes were wide, and the stiff white collar of his shirt stuck up rather haphazardly.
"Terra, I'm so sorry, I didn't…"
She silenced him with a kiss. "That. Was. Awesome."'
This brought a high-pitched laugh from the boy on top of her. "Seriously?"
"Seriously," she repeated, blue eyes staring up at him. "But not entirely fair."
"What?"
Faster than Beast Boy thought possible, she had flipped him over, drenching his tux. Her wet hair hung down limply, sending droplets onto his neck.
"Okay, now it's fair," he smiled. "Happy now?"
"Very," she replied, kissing him again.
TTTTT
Sorry it took so long! I had major writers block, and school, and a massive essay to write (which I still have to edit. Don't tell my teacher!)
Hope you guys like it! Let me know in the reviews (Or PM) if there's anything you want to see!
