Winged-Raccoon-The-Dragon: yah, it is kinda funny if you think about it. It was meant to be angsty, cuz they are so very close but don't know it. But seriously, wow, what a coincidence, huh? And don't worry about your IQ. I didn't know what nostalgia meant either until someone said it on a show that I'm obsessed with on an episode I kept watching over and over. Heh. Yah, I'm crazy. So is everyone else. So anyways, nostalgia means when you want everything back the way it was. Kinda, missing stuff, you know? Umm, the dictionary says "A bittersweet longing for things, persons, or situations of the past." So yeah. That's what nostalgia is. Mm-hmm! Did that help? Lol.
Disclaimer: before I forget it, I don't own the teen titans. I don't think they would be able to fit in my house. Plus, I like tofu, and I plan to keep liking it.
Chapter 2
Beast boy woke up late in the morning. He always did now that there wasn't any competition over what breakfast was. He got dressed and sat on the bed for a while, thinking about the dream he'd had the last night. About the subject of every one of his dreams nowadays. Raven.
Today was the rainy, one year anniversary of that day. One year later, and Beast Boy still remembered every detail of it.
"Raven!"
Beast Boy called after her in vain. After she had phased through, the glass had become solid once more. She wouldn't have been able to hear him. And if she did, would she turn back?
"no..." Beast Boy answered his own question. She wouldn't have come back. And she wouldn't come back ever again. This, he knew deep inside. Because he suddenly understood why she had left. Her emotions were a bomb, and he had struck a match.
He had forgotten. He had let himself think she was a normal girl, free to feel. Let himself worry over the normal 'how do I tell her.' He'd forgotten to consider how hard it would be for her. Especially if she really did like him back.
"IDIOT" he screamed at himself, causing echoes in the large room. A million thoughts swirled 'round his head. He couldn't stay here. Not without her. There were far to many reminders. The walls themselves whispered of her. He ran to his room and packed away all his possessions. All the necessary ones. He took the communicator with him and left a note, saying that he had to leave. That they should call him whenever they were shorthanded in battle. But he wasn't going to be a full-time titan any longer.
As he headed to the roof to leave, he passed by Raven's room. Following an impulse, he went in and grabbed her meditation mirror. To serve as a reminder of her. It occurred to him, in the back of his mind, that she hadn't taken anything with her. Would she be alright?
Still mentally beating on himself, Beast Boy climbed up the last few steps and emerged onto the roof. He looked around one last time. Night was falling behind the clouds, hidden to all the rain touched. Just as daybreak had been. Beast Boy sighed, and changed into an eagle. He grasped his bag and the mirror with his talons.
And flew away.
"idiot." Beast Boy once again muttered to himself. He was a part time titan now. While it didn't pay as much, he had enough for the small apartment he was living in now. He was doing ok.
He walked over to his dresser and picked it up. Raven's mirror. His one memento of her. He wasn't afraid of the mirror anymore. It hadn't pulled him in since the last time with Cyborg. Besides, should it ever happen, he knew how to get out again. At times, the mirror would clear, and Beast Boy could look into Raven's mind, and see the dominant emotion at the time. It was almost as good as seeing Raven herself. Almost.
Beast Boy was lucky today. The mirror shimmered and the reflection changed to reveal the dark landscape that was Raven's mind. But today was also a little different. The surface of the mirror wavered a little, like water that has been disturbed. Beast Boy instinctively touched the mirror. And fell in.
A/N: sorry about shortness and cliffy. I have more planned, but I felt like this'd be a suitable place to end. Sorry. Is the chapter bad? Sorry about that too. I tried. And I want to get it up before they make it so you can't log in. please review. be gentle if you hated it please. And do keep reading, cuz I will write more. Possibly sooner! And better! ;) Lol. Review please!
