CHAPTER 5: They Light Each Others Fire

Terra lay on her bed staring up at the ceiling. The lights reflected in her eyes. But it didn't bother her. She wasn't in a sea of deep black thoughts. But she was thinking of a green teen. She had feelings for him that she had for no one else. He set off fireworks inside her. She loved the feeling that she got when she was around him. She felt so free, so safe, so…loved? He lights her way. He lights her eyes, to where you can see the love in them. He…lights her fire!

Beast Boy sat on the sofa in her room, watching the blonde if front of his eyes. He was in a trance by her beauty. 'God…she is so beautiful! But why is she so abused?' He thought to himself. Suddenly he snapped out of his trance and he began to listen. He was listening to her heart. He could hear her screaming inside. He could hear her crying inside. He could hear her calling for him. He could hear her saying sorry. He knew that she needed him right now, but right before he got up to go over to her. He saw something amazing, which almost brought tears to his eyes. He saw a small but yet meaningful smile escape her lips.

She was smiling for the first time in two years. The two years, which brought so much pain, which broke so few hearts. Two years of crying because of that smile was gone, and now… She was finally smiling a beautiful smile, a smile that Beast Boy knew far too well.

Beast Boy sat in awe. It was unbelievable; she looked like a dream, smiling like that. A Dream that only Beast Boy could dream. He felt tears well up behind his eyes, but he held them back. He didn't want to spoil this moment of pure bliss. This was a moment that was always stuck in his head. He thought about it over and over again. It was like videotape that only BB saw.

But as quickly as the smile came, it faded. His tears evaporated as the smile disappeared.

Hope was a little smudged right at the moment. Seeing her smile was like a monumental moment. The smile revealed the real Terra. The Terra in front of him was her pain, her guilt, her broken heart. He only knew one way to heal a broken heart…He had to light her fire! He had to make her happy. He was going to get her to smile again.

He got up off of her sofa and sat down next to her on her bed. He thought she didn't notice him, but she did.

She loved to see him, but she didn't deserve it. She saw him as perfection. And she saw herself as a ragamuffin. She longed for him. She could only imagine a future with him. Going steady, getting married, having children… But it was only bright part of her lala land. The rest of it was terrifying, so horrible that if a mere child watched it, they would have nightmares for years.

"So…what are you thinking about, Earth angel? He asked. As soon as those words escaped his lips he realized what he had just said. 'Earth angel how stupid was that. Now she probably hates me! Why do I always get mixed up with my wording when I'm around her?' He thought to himself with dread. He thought he saw her eyes widen slightly, but he wasn't quiet sure.

She was stunned at his words 'Earth angel? I'm no earth angel, he heard Raven. I'm an earth demon. Does he really still like me like that?' She asked herself.

Beast Boy grinned weakly at her, hoping for a calm remark. He could tell that she was thinking of a reply.

"Oh…nothing I guess…" She said softly while trailing off.

Nothing? She was joking! he knew she was thinking of some thing. He could see it in her eyes. If she thinks she could hide her emotions that easily from Beast Boy, then she had another thing coming.

"Nothing? But T every one is thinking of some thing! Every human on this earth has something on their mind and you Terra are no exception." He claimed logically (which must be rare for him).

She looked at him in disbelief. Sure Beast Boy was smart at some things and by some things that was a very small amount. But what he had just said almost scared her.

"Okay, who are you and what have you done with BB?" She asked.

Beast Boy rolled his eyes. He thought that was funny, but right now wasn't really the time to laugh.

"Okay, okay, you're right; I do have some thing on my mind. But I don't want to tell you quiet yet." Terra confessed, turning over onto her stomach.

"Here, how's about this, you try to guess what's on my mind and if you lose you have to tell me what's wrong and if you win then you don't have to!" Beast Boy wagered.

Terra smiled at his enthusiasm. He cared about her. He wanted to make her happy. He wanted to banish all of her bad thoughts from her unguarded mind. So naturally she accepted his challenge.

"Well, let's see…Your thinking of some way to make me happy!" She guessed.

"No way…Dude Terra, that was right, how did you do that? He gasped.

She shrugged; she didn't know how she did it. It was as if she could read his mind. It was as if they had a mystical bond. And also she thought it was kind of obvious since he came to her with concern.

"I don't rightly know, it just kind of came to me like magic. I mean you did come over to see what was wrong and you always used to try to get me to laugh." Terra pointed out.

Beast Boy felt like that to. Apparently they had a connection to each other, to where they could read each other like an open book. Suddenly he had the best reply to her last comment.

"I still do…" He replied softly.

That same smile returned to her lips. And it seemed, along with the smile came the old Terra. The one that Beast Boy knew all to well!

Beast Boy was so happy to see her like this again; he couldn't hold it in any longer. He turned into a beagle and jumped on her and began to lick her face.

She screamed and giggled as he licked her face. She could barely talk, her face was turning red and it was hard to bear.

Beast Boy could feel her face turning rose red. He could taste the heat.

"Haha…Beast Boy…haha stop…haha!" She begged in between laughter.

Beast Boy came to a halt. He turned back to human form and lay down next to her. She rested her head on his shoulder and turned over to his direction. They stared dreamily at each other. Deep sighs escaped both of the young teenager's mouths.

It was happening again…They were falling in love. A love so strong that they had thought they lost when she had turned to stone, a love that burned brightly inside both of them. Because they lit each others fire!

But Beast Boy wasn't so sure yet about all of this, it wasn't that he didn't trust her it was the fact of that she was in a stage of incapacitation and turmoil. He wasn't quiet ready to start a relationship like this with her…not yet.

Terra's eyelids began to feel heavy and slowly, she started to drift off into slumber.

Beast boy took notice of this and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. He didn't want to leave her alone, he was the only one she had and he didn't want to abandon her in her time of need. He wanted to spend all of his time with her. And doubts are Raven was going to try another sneak attack. So he decided to stay with her just incase.

He soon found that he too was drifting off into a deep sleep. His eyes closed as he finally gave in to the sand man. He fell asleep and had dreams, dreams of Terra. And he was sure she was having dreams of him too. Because they both light each others fire!


okay I know that in the last chap Raven probably really kill Terra, but this is from my imagination, so don't get too mad. Just plz RR
