A week later Seleena lay in her bedroom. It was on the same floor as Raven's and Starfire's and had formally been used for storage. The girl had put her own flare into the dull space. Golden stars were painted on black walls, and a forest scene was on the ceiling. The windows were, for obvious reasons shut and painted.
However, our focus is now on the girl above the bed, in fact, she was floating about two feet above the mattress. The blanket fell around her waist and her chest was bare. Her skin was the creamy yellow of bees wax and her hair, jet black, brushed the sheets below.
A hesitant knock went unheard and the door creaked open about half and inch. "Seleena?" No answer. "I'm gonna come in." Still nothing. "You there?" Silence. "Ok." The door pushed open all the way and Beastboy stepped in. at seeing the girl he was looking for…naked… he turned immediately in to a turtle to hide his head.
Seleena sat up when Beastboy hit the ground. Shocked awake she fell hard on the bed. "What? Who's there?" she spotted the turtle. "Oh, hi BB, something I could help you with?"
"Pmuphclotedpht." Came his muffled response.
She seemed to understand. "Aww, you're shy. That's cute." With lightning speed she zipped herself in to a cat suit but left the head piece off as it was night and there was no threat of sun. "All dressed. Better?"
"Mmckmp." He turned back in to a human. "Much, I'm sorry I didn't know you'd be asleep."
"Most people are at four in the morning." She smiled.
"Yeah, ok, you're right. But you kind of struck me as a night person." He stopped and his train of thought derailed when her saw her in the light from the hallway. "Your eyes, they're…" Gorgeous, say gorgeous dude! "Purple." Way to blow it.
"Oh, hey yeah, I guess I'd forgotten." She touched her cheek as though there was something missing. She shook her self from the memories. "So, what can I do you for?"
"What?" Beastboy asked either confused or intrigued.
"In short, why are you here?" Seleena clarified.
"Oh nothing, it's just—stupid, it's stupid now." He couldn't look away from those perfect almond shaped eyes.
Seleena was flattered but also a little embarrassed. "Well if it's stupid you can go back to sleep now."
"No see that just it. I couldn't sleep because I've been having this weird dream." He stopped and realized he'd just told her want she'd wanted without meaning to. Man she was good.
"I'm good with dreams. Tell me about it."
No way out. "Ok well I'm a fish and I'm swimming and I hit a wall."
"Dam." She corrected.
"Not really cause it doesn't really hurt. So any way then--" he continued.
"No I meant—never mind. What happens next?" she waved it off.
"Well then I get really dizzy, form hitting the wall I guess. And the next thing I know I'm a bird flying dead center around a tower."
"This tower?" she interrupted again.
"No, like Repunzil or something." Then he continued. "And the Titans are at the bottom of the tower and this figure is at the top, but its legs are tied to the roof so it can't get away. There is a fire on the roof and it's going to kill this person and there is a flood down below and it's going to kill the Titans. So I figure the choice is pretty clear, save the? Titans right? Even though this figure, who ever it is, will die. But for some reason this person means more to me than anything, so every night I try and save both and every night I fail." He ended dejectedly.
Seleena swallowed. "Who ever or what ever this person is to you, you feel you will be pulled away from your friends for it. My suggestion; put the person with your friends, you'll get a lot more sleep that way."
"Uh, thanks, I think." His lips pressed together.
"No problem."
Beastboy mumbled something else and left the room. Seleena yawned, her fangs shining (that's just for those of you that haven't figured it out yet.) She unzipped the suit and climbed back into bed. "Good to know the feeling's mutual BB." And she was out.
Beastboy was asleep almost before he hit the bed. Immediately he was swimming, and smacked head first into that same wall, er, dam. Then he was flying again by the tower. The figure was at the top with its foot chained. The fire was approaching, below the water rising. Beastboy needed to clear his head. He rammed into the wall again, and when he opened his eyes the shadowed figure was down with his friends. He knew how to save them. Falling quickly he changed into a whale, the figure below looked up at him, her searing purple eyes filled with gratitude. Beastboy hit the water with a belly flop. At that moment he woke up, out of breath and wide awake. The realization of who the person was left him up all night in deep thought.
