Sorry this chapter took so long, I had a brief writers block. Sorry that it's just a little bit short.
It was approximately four days since Raven and Robin had left for Earth and Beast Boy was now hanging out with Flame; practically everyday. She had given him a tour around the palace, they had visited the creatures in the menagerie and he knew a bit more about her family history. Beast Boy, Cyborg and Starfire had also had a chance to taste the cuisine of Azarath; they had all loved it! Starfire loved the way the food simply melted in your mouth. Cyborg loved the way the meat tasted ten times better then anything on earth. Beast Boy particularly liked the fact there were several hundred vegetarian dishes at every meal. It seemed that being 'captives' on Azarath wasn't as bad as it had first seemed.
"So" asked Beast Boy casually "Do you have any holograms of the beach?"
"The beach?" asked Flame looking confused
"Ohh, man" said Beast Boy slapping himself on the face "I forgot, this is Azarath, you guys probably don't know what a beach is" he hadn't meant to be mean but Flame looked a bit offended.
"Well sorry" she said sharply
Beast Boy registered her reaction with shock; did she think that he was calling her ignorant or worse, stupid?
"Woah, its okay" he said reassuringly "I didn't mean it that way"
"Sure sounded like you did"
"Well I didn't" he said a little too sharply
They didn't talk much after that. They just continued down the path that they walking on. After ten minutes of awkward silence they both decided to say sorry
"I'm sor….." they began simultaneously; they both looked at each other and grinned.
"You go f..." began Flame
"I'll go f…." said Beast Boy at the same time
"Its unanimous then" said Flame
"Right" he said, smiling "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to act like a jerk, even if that's what I sounded like"
"That's okay" she said "I probably shouldn't of reacted like that"
"No, you had every right to" he said smiling at her
He's so sweet she thought to herself, Should I?
She looked into his eyes and he seemed to be asking himself the same question. They both grinned and took a step towards each other. They came closer until they were practically breathing on each other. Then Beast Boy took the initiative and leaned forward and kissed Flame. She smiled happily at him when they parted and he smiled back at her. Before he had a chance to do anything else Flame had thrown her arms around his shoulders and kissed him back.
