I keep cranking these out, don't I? I guess, a) I have a lot of time this week (very rare), and, b) I love writing for you guys and myself. Anyway, BB's gonna get a lesson that "not all that glitters in gold..." Enjoy.
Beast Boy wept quietly into
his pillow, and knew that everything was turning to shit, and fast.
He upset the one girl he loved... and was afraid she'd never forgive
him. When he felt he had the mental strength to get up, he shuffled
into the hallway and into the living room. He noticed the rest of the
Titans were affected in a way as well- Cybrog and Robin were sitting
staring into space, and Starfire was pacing. "Oh, look, it's
Mister Man. Want to me shine you shoes?" Cyborg said
sarcastically. "Think you're too good for team?" "Guys,
Beast Boy replied weakly, "Something's wrong with me."
"DING
DING DING. We have a winner," Cyborg noted. "Argh! Guys! I
know, I know... this needs to stop. Friends don't treat each other
like this, it's just crap. Where's Rae? I HAVE to tell her I'm
sorry." "She's in her room, I think, but good luck trying
to talk to her. She's pretty upset," said Robin.
"Rae?
Raven? I need to apologize to you. God, you didn't deserve that.
Please, Rae, ope... Oh, hi Rae," said a weak-kneed Beast Boy.
"Come in Beast Boy," said Raven, no trace of emotion in her
voice. Beast Boy filled the door with his powerful frame, then went
inside. "Raven, what's wrong with me?" asked Beast Boy.
"It's really simple to figure out Beast Boy- you may have this
new body, but I want you to know, I respected you for the person you
were, the real you- kind, caring, and hands- I mean, joyful."
Raven stumbled. "Wait, Raven, you think, I'm handsome?"
asked Beast Boy with a grin. "No, yes, I mean, that's not what I
meant-" "Raven, interrupted Beast Boy, it's ok... it's ok.
And do you know why it's ok? We're letting go, Raven. Do you see
we've been holding these feelings for so long? Our hearts have been
trying to guide us, but we haven't listened. I love you, Raven. I
want to shout it from the top of my lungs, I wanna tell the world...
I'd do anything for you Rae... anything." At this, Raven began
to cry again. "Beast Boy, you know I'm the the kind of person to
show my true feelings- but you're the one that makes me happy....
without you, I'd shut myself away." Beast Boy gently bend down
and hugged Raven, a sweet, simple gesture that made Raven fill up
with warmth. She returned the hug, and they stayed like that for what
seemed like an eternity. Suddenly, Beast Boy kissed her cool, white
lips; an innocent, caring kiss- the best kind. She felt his cool,
green lips pull away after a couple minutes. "Does this mean you
thought my jokes were funny?" he winked. "Don't go that
far," she chuckled. Suddenly, beast Boy stood to him full frame.
"Rae, I know what I have to do..."
