B.B. was alone on the roof, and he was looking sadly the waves crushing
down on the sea cliff. In the past two days he acted like a ghost: all he
did was staying in his room with the pillow pushed against his face so
strongly that he could barely breath, and going up on the roof when he was
sure that nobody could have seen him. He felt too much shame to look again
the others in their eyes: he acted badly, and he knew it, but he didn't
really know what he was doing: he felt angry because he offended Raven and
he didn't knew how to apologize. He loved her, or, at least, it was what he
believed. Now he wasn't anymore sure of anything, he just wanted to
disappear. He moved a pace towards the edge of the roof and looked down: it
was a fall of 20 of more meters, surely a deadly one. A long fly before
peace. He opened his arms and he was ready to jump when he heard a voice
behind him:
"Leaving without goodbye?"
He recognised immediately the voice: it was Terra's one. He didn't turned, just said:
"hey Terra...I was just... looking the sea..."
"We can go further... Just give me a second" said Terra, while her eyes became yellow and a big rock lifted in front of them. They descended in this way on the rocky beach in front of Titans tower. Beast Boy walked slowly to the sea and let the waves wetting his shoes, always avoiding Terra's eyes. He morphed into a fish and started swimming away from Terra; she looked him for a while and then called his name:
"Beast Boy! Come back! I have to talk you!"
Beast Boy seemed to ignore Terra, but then turned and swam back. He morphed back into human form and sat near Terra, small drips of water falling from his dress; he looked her and stayed silent, but his eyes were saying "ok, talk.". Terra took a long breath and then said:
"ok Beast Boy, I know how do you feel... I felt like this other times... I know well when other people thinks that you're a redhead and all you can do is fight and destroy... I don't consider in this way, but the others..." said Terra with an evil smile, but Beast Boy didn't noticed it.
"What the others said?" asked Beast Boy inquisitively.
"Uhm, nothing... They just said that you acted badly at the restaurant, and..."
"I understood, thanks, Terra..."
"Raven was particularly angry with you... she even proposed to expel you from the team..."
"Raven... did this?" said Beast Boy, feeling like a thousands of cold daggers were hitting his heart repetitively.
Terra looked him, with a little smile and said:
"But I defended you from everything they said... because... it think that... you're a very special person..."
Beast Boy looked her full of surprise, but Terra kept talking without looking him:
"And, recently... If I decided to went back here, the only reason is you... because.. I think that.. I think that..." Terra interrupted abruptly, but Beast Boy had already understood:
"Terra, I..."
She moved hastily, without leaving the time to Beast Boy to react: she put her hand behind his head and kissed him. Beast Boy tried to get her off of him, but then gave up and exchanged the kiss. In a moment, he forgot everything about the past days, he forgot all he did, and he forgot Raven. She could have saw that Paul every time she wanted, now that he had Terra, a person that finally understood him. He felt like he didn't need anymore anybody except Terra.
"Hey, where's B.B?" asked Starfire, entering in the hall. All the titans turned and looked her, feeling guilty, because nobody has tried to talk him for the past two days. Only Raven ignored the question: she was still angry with him. And she doubted if she could ever forgive him.
"I dunno" replied Cyborg, looking sadly the GameStation, theatre of so much challenge between him and the young green boy "I thought he would have be left alone..."
"I thought the same" echoed Robin, who was looking out the window "but we haven't seen him for two days... I think it's better if we go and talk to him... Raven?"
"Don't expect me to come. If you want to talk to him, this doesn't mean that I'm ready for it."
Robin sighed: what was happening to all of them? He, Cyborg and Starfire headed to Beast Boy's room, silently. Everyone was trying to find out something to say, but it was like someone had erased their memories. They reached the door and knocked; no answer came. They waited for a while, then tried again: still nothing.
"Maybe he's sleeping... Hey Beast Boy! Open, please! it is us!"
"I think he's not in his room... or he's angry with us..." said sadly Starfire.
"no, he's not in his room, I can't see him even with my x ray vision... maybe he went out for a walk... Let's go back in the hall" said Cyborg
"I saw Terra walking around here, maybe he went out with her..." said Starfire, when they were opening the door of the hall.
"Maybe... but where are they now?" said Robin.
"They're just down here... Look." Said Raven, emotionlessly.
Everyone went near the huge window over the bay and looked down: there were Beast Boy and Terra kissing.
"Leaving without goodbye?"
He recognised immediately the voice: it was Terra's one. He didn't turned, just said:
"hey Terra...I was just... looking the sea..."
"We can go further... Just give me a second" said Terra, while her eyes became yellow and a big rock lifted in front of them. They descended in this way on the rocky beach in front of Titans tower.
