Hey all I'm back! And I've got some new ideas. Beast boy and Raven are both getting used to the fact that they are now in love with each other, and Beast boy is starting to lose control. PS: I don't own Teen Titans, mega monkeys 3 or Pepsi. Please enjoy R&R!
It was getting close to 9 o'clock as a green changeling and a dark girl wearing a blue cloak walked out of Speedy's grocery store with bags in both hands.
Raven staring behind her, at Beast boy, was now getting a bit annoyed. "Beast boy, do you think you can pick up the pace a little?"
"Alright already, just don't go all demonic on me ok?" with a snicker he realized that Raven (even though she had her hood on at the moment) was giving him the death glare.
"Your pushing you luck ya know" After she saw that Beast boy was practically cowering from her stare she let out a light giggle.
"Hey that wasn't funny" after giving Raven a big frown. He hurried up to her and they started on their way home.
"Hey Beast boy what were you doing, back in that store?" asked the Goth in a mischievous tone.
"Wha… what are you talking about?" replied Beast boy. As they stopped at a red light to wait to cross the ever so busy street, Raven could distinctively see him blush.
"What do you mean what? I saw you staring over at my ass when I bent over to pick up that can of tomato sauce" while crossing the street Raven was having fun watching Beast boy squirm.
"Well… uh… hey! What about you?" asked the Beast boy with one of his trademark grins on his face.
"Me? What about me?" Raven's face had gone totally red.
Enjoying his slight control over the conversation Beast boy went on embarrassing Raven (even though she would most likely get him back). "Ya you, when I went to get some tofu. I happened to notice that you 'happened' to swing by the cosmetics area. And I'm positive you were looking at one of those pink fuzzy hand bag thing that Starfire has" As the two arguing teens neared the docks seagulls could be heard.
"SHUT UP WILL YA!" even if possible Beast boys grin grew even wider and Raven face became more flushed. (Also a fire hydrant had exploded behind them, but neither took any notice.) "I… I was … looking for something to buy for Starfire's Birthday ok!" Raven was staring down at her boots to avoid Beast boy's grin.
"Ok, Wait, are you talking about the birthday that's in 'three months'?" Beast boy expression was that of 'not-so-stupid-as-you-think', which was ticking Raven off even more so.
"Well… uhh…dang" Raven face (even though was under her head was under her hood) was, even if possible, redder.
"He he he" Beast boy was having the time of his life embarrassing Raven, except that now he was positive that she would beat him for it. "Never knew you had a pink-fluffy-girly side too. Awww… it makes me feel all fuzzy inside. And all this time I thought you were gothic in and out. Maybe I was wrong"
"OK ALREADY! Can we just go home already?" "I am sooo, going to kick Happy's cheerleader ass when I get home"
"Fine…" Beast boys face had gone from disappointed to idea stricken in less then a second. "RACE YA!" at this Beast boy turned into a pterodactyl and flew over the water toward Titans Tower with his groceries.
"Hey! No fair! You got a head start!" Raven, with all her might, jumped of the pier and soared after Beast boy towards their home.
"Hey Starfire that Gorbash stew was pretty good." Robin and the rest of the titans were know stuffed from their huge lunch.
"Ya not bad Star, and I can't believe I'm saying this but maybe you should cook more often"
"Cyborg, no! For the love of my taste buds no!"
"Put a sock in it will ya Beast boy". "but I have to agree with Beast boy on this one most of Starfire's 'concoctions' makes me sick for a week" Raven haven put Beast boy in his place figured that it was time to do her daily meditation on the roof. "I'll be on the roof, and I don't want to be disturbed" With that Raven heads for the stairs.
Beast boy's face became troubled. "Hey… uhh… guys I'm going out ok?"
"Yo BB wouldn't you rather I beat ya at Mega Monkeys 3"
"Tempting offer Cy but I… just need some time alone ok" As Beast boy started to walk towards the door Robin puts his hand on the changelings shoulder.
"Hey Beast boy you wanna talk, you seem troubled?"
"Lay off man I just wanna go out AND BLOW OFF SOME STEAM!"
"Yo Beast boy no need to get all mad all of a sudden Robin only wanted to…"
"AND DON"T YOU START CYBORG!" Beast boy grabbed Robin hand off his shoulder with such force that he actually hurt him.
"Hey! Ouch! What's you deal Beast boy" By now Both Robin and Cyborg had gotten quite angry with the furry filled green teen in front of them, all this time Starfire had become very quiet and just hovered in one spot by the couch.
"MY DEAL IS THAT EVERYONE IS RIDING MY FUCKING CASE OK!" Beast boy was starting to growl at Robin, Teeth bared, so that you could see his fangs. By now Raven had herd the commotion and came down to ask them to turn the TV down, but when she saw the scene below Raven just stood at the end of the hallway.
"Friend Beast boy, why are you yelling at us when we only want to help you?" Starfire's words trailed of into the room like an echo.
"WHY? WHY? I'LL TELL YOU WHY!" Beast boy's manner had suddenly changed from a raving lunatic, to someone who looked like they would at any moment fall to their knees and start crying. "It feels like my insides are been ripped apart because of this… this… 'thing' inside me… this Beast, and I can't do a thing about it!" Beast boy words were not shouted but everyone new he was yelling on the inside.
Robin's hand face had turned to concern for his friend as the same with every else. "Ok we will help you get through this' together" at these word, almost on cue Beast boy's had turned to the madness that showed not even minutes before.
"SO LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!" Beast boy had dropped to his knees and started to claw at the carpet. Breathing hard, his eyes seemed to almost go totally black, the almost out of control Beast boy stared at Robin menacingly, because he was the closest 'thing' to him at the moment.
Everyone was aware of what was going to happen next if they didn't do something and quick.
Cyborg lifted his left arm and pointed at Beast boy who was at the end point of a very fine line between sanity and something else. "Sorry dude" from a hidden compartment shot out something to quick for the eye to see.
Beast boy flinched as something pierced his skin, and he started to feel drowsy. Looking at his arm he quickly grabbed and pulled out a tranquilizer from his arm. "Uhh… sssoorry" Beast boy field of vision went black and the last thing he remember is someone running toward him from the stairs.
The whizzes and hums of computers and other sorts of equipment were quiet but he could still hear them. As Beast boy opened his as he quickly shut them tight, for he had not yet gotten used to the bright light above him. Beast boy tried to talk but all he could do was let out a soft moan. Felling crisp clean
sheets and noticing that they were not his own, Beast boy tried to open his eyes to see were he had woken up. Still he could only see shades of light where some patches were dark and some were bright. Noticing a dark shape moving away from him Beast boy tried to sit up to see what it was, but he was still too weak from the tranquilizer.
"It's ok. Don't sit up. I'll turn the light down for you. You just rest"
After the lights had turned off Beast boy realized he was in the medical room could see much better in the dark, almost as he was more comfortable in the dark rather than in the light. "Hey Raven what's up" Beast boy tried his best to smile but he was still very tired so he stopped and just relaxed.
"Well you have your humor I guess I should be happy" after a long sigh, Raven's eyes rested upon Beast boys own "How you feel Beast boy? You alright?" Raven sat down in a chair right beside the groggy changeling's bed.
"Man, she is so freaking hot in the dark. I don't know what but she seems more mysterious in the dark almost like she's…"
"Hey. I said are you alright?" Raven bent over and put her hand on his cheek.
"Hey I'm fine" Beast boy still felt a bit sleepy but now he was starting to feel more awake. "But I feel like I was hit with a tranquilizer that could take down an elephant"
"Funny you should say that" With a smile Raven bent down further and kissed Beast boy for a few seconds and drew away.
Liking the gift that she had giving him, Beast boy started to sit up up. "Don't tell me he used an elephant tranquilizer" with a sigh Beast boy sat upright and propped up his pillow so he could be more comfortable.
With a light giggle Raven pointed to his sheets.
"What?" just realizing that he had no shirt on Beast boy lifted his sheets only to see that the only thing he was wearing was his dark green boxers. Lifting up the sheets to his neck Beast boy gave the blushing girl next to him a suspicious look. "Hey when I was asleep did you… have a little fun with me?"
Waving her arms in front of her totally red face. "WHAT! No no no, of course not, how could you think that?"
"Ya ok, 'sure' you didn't" with a chuckle Beast boy lowered the sheet down to his waist.
"I never realized this before but Beast boy is pretty damn hot. Fairly muscular, but not to ripped. Also I kinda like his short green hair, sorta cute.
"Hey what are you starring at?" Asked a green changeling totally oblivious to what the dark beauty beside him was thinking about.
"Hu? Oh… nothing" Raven's face had a hint of blush on it.
"Hey uh Raven what time is it?" Beast boy couldn't remember if there was a clock in the medical room or not.
"Um last time I check it was 10:15, you were out the entire day"
"What did you guy have for dinner anyways? Cause I'm starved"
Listing to the rumble coming from Beast boy's Raven remembered that she saved some vegetarian pizza for Beast boy for later. She nearly had to hide a couple of slices from Cyborg who for some reason was especially hungry. "Ya I saved you some pizza… you want some?"
Beast boy couldn't put his finger on it, but as he lay their in the medical bed (not to mention in his boxers) Raven, seemed so caring all of a sudden. "That sounds nice about now" As Raven got up to head out the door Beast boy called after her "and if you don't mind telling me, were are my pants?"
"There under your bed. But…Cyborg doesn't want you getting up yet"
Standing in the door frame and leaning on her side Raven Looked like she as keeping a secret. Beast boy figured he would question her later about that. "Ok fine" Crossing his arms and giving her a childish face, Raven chuckled.
"hmmm…ok I'll be right back" With a wave Raven walked out of the dimly lit room and headed down the hall.
Beast boy looked down at his hands (which by the way didn't have his usual gloves on. "I almost hurt Robbing today, maybe I could've even… no I would never be able to do that." now clenching his hands Beast boy looked at the window to see his reflection "but the 'Beast' could"
"Vegetarian pizza anyone"
Beast boy looked away from the window towards the door to see Raven holding two slices of pizza in a waitress style manner. "Hey the service around here is great"
As Raven walked over to Beast boy bed she set the plate on a nights stand. "Don't I get a tip?"
Looking up at Raven standing with her hands on her waist, Beast boy flashed Raven a mischievous grin. Grabbing Raven by the waist and pulling her onto his waist Beast boy planted a kiss on the girl he truly loved.
Leaning forward to deepen the kiss Raven just wanted this moment with Beast boy to never end.
All of a sudden a distinctive alien redhead voice could be heard coming from the doorway. "Raven, what are you doing on Beast boy's lap?" Raven tore away from her deep kiss to see a confused Starfire in the doorway. "What!... Starfire… what are you doing here?"
"Ummm… friend Raven, were you kissing Beast boy, and correct me if I'm wrong, isn't that one of Earth mating rituals?" Starfire just stared confused at the red faced teen titans. Just know realizing what was going on. "Ohhh yippee does that mean you to are in love. This is great I need to go tell the others jumping off Beast boy's lap (which disappointed Beast boy because he was starting to like her there) used her telekinetic powers to pull Starfire into the dimly lit room and closed the door. Grabbing Starfire's shoulders Raven tried to quiet the Tamaranian. "Starfire it's not what it looks like… ok?"
"Even though the lights were off I could clearly see that you we sitting on Beast boy and kissing him" Starfire's reasoning gave Raven the look of defeat. All the while she still wore a big smile.
"Hey Raven time to give up… we've been found out" Beast boy was leaning forward on his hands and looking over to Raven with a slightly depressed face.
Rubbing her right arm with her left Raven looked over at Beast boy. "Starfire I… uh, we just don't want our love to be in the open quite yet ok?"
Looking a bit depressed the alien red head admitted defeat. "Ok fine I will not as you say 'spill the produce' alright"
"Spill the beans Star, anyway can I get some quiet? I plan to get some more rest after I've eaten" Beast boy laid back down on his pillow and started too munch on his pizza.
"Ok, sleep well Beast boy, you too friend Raven." With a wave Starfire left the room to head for her bedroom.
"Hey Beast boy?" Raven had stopped in a mid turn to
head out towards the door.
"Ymff whff." Beast boy swallowed
the food in his mouth and tried again. "Ya what Raven?" as Beast
boy stared at the serious face staring back at him, he had the
felling that time had just stopped for a split second.
"In the morning, we should start your meditation. You know to control…" Raven was at a lost for words and all she could do was stare at her feet
"The Beast" Beast boy had laid the unfinished pizza slice onto the plate beside him, deciding that he wasn't very hungry anymore.
"…yes… well, good night, see you in the morning" After blowing a kiss Raven turned and headed out of the room. After closing the door Beast boy laid back in his bed with his arms under his head.
"Tomorrows another day" with a yawn Beast boy turned onto hi side and dosed off to sleep.
"Why can't I get to sleep?" After many times turning to one side and another Beast boy looked over his should to see that the clock still read 2:34 am. "Oh man, I can't sleep." Stepping out of bed and slipping on his pants (and gloves, Beast boy never did feel right going anywhere without them on) "Where are my shoes and shirt?" "oh well don't need them" Heading out of the medical room and quietly making his way towards the kitchen Beast boy figured that he would get some water and try and get back to sleep.
Walking into the dark main room and making her way towards the kitchen. A familiar red head wearing her favorite purple pajamas and fuzzy pink bunny slippers walked over to the fridge and opened it. After filling a mug with mustard and sitting it down on the counter, Starfire took her seat and started to sip her strange drink. "Why can I not sleep?" After taking a big gulp of mustard the sleepy Starfire turned her head to look at the clock on top of the fridge. "It is 2:30 in the morning and yet I am not able to sleep" It had started only a few days ago that Starfire was having trouble sleeping, but she tried her hardest to seem cheery and not trouble anyone. "Only if I could tell him…"
"Hey Star you having trouble sleeping to?"
Startling Starfire Beast boy walked into the kitchen and opened the cupboard to grab a tea bag. "Oh! You startled me" taking a sip from her cup Starfire didn't try and put on a smile, because she figured that of all people Beast boy should know of 'pretending' to seem happy when they are troubled "Yes… I am…"
Putting a kettle of water onto the stove Beast boy took the seat next to Starfire. "Hey what's with the long face?"
Felling her face Starfire looked confused at the green changeling sitting beside her "My face is not elongated"
"No, that's not what I meant, never mind" Remembering that Starfire new few of Earth's phrases Beast boy sighed. "I meant, what's troubling you?"
"Oh… well…" Starfire started to fell uncomfortable, with telling someone what she truly felt (especially something that may cause trouble some way) so she started to unintentionally play with her hair between her fingers.
"You have always there to listen when any of use have a problem, now it's my turn to listen" Hearing the kettle whistle Beast boy got up from his stool. After poring the water into a cup and dipping the tea bag into the water Beast boy sat back down.
"Isn't that Raven's Herbal tea?" Starfire went back sipping her mustard, and stared at something invisible on the counter top.
"Ya… but if it helps her meditate and be at peace, maybe it will at least settle me down so I can sleep" Taking a sip of the tea Beast boy raised an eyebrow "not bad, but I kinda like Pepsi bit more"
"Hmm, maybe I can try some of Raven's tea"
Seeing Starfire depressed made Beast boy want to help with what ever she needs. Every one else is always looking out for him all the time, even more so than usual… "Hey let's get back on topic" leaning on cross armed and on his elbows Beast boy looked over at the red head alien and wondered what could possible bother her this much.
"Well… it is that… you and Raven… what you have…" Starfire was trying to hold back her tears, but Beast boy noticed this.
"Love?"
"Yes… that's right… love…" wiping her tears Starfire took a huge gulp of mustard (which kinda grossed out Beast boy how much she liked to drink it). "And I'm afraid that… there is no love on this planet for me…"
"I'm sure there is" realizing that the seriousness about the conversation was far greater than some home sickness or Earth's 'strange' ways, Beast boy figured he should go on a (fairly well known) limb. "What about Robin. You seem to drool over him"
"I try not to salivate on him. But yes I have considered him" Starfire had not changed from her depressed state, so Beast boy figured the problem was a bit deeper than finding ones true love… like he had done.
Figuring he could finally help someone out Beast boy smiled "So what's the big problem? I'm sure he's crazy about you. Trust me, he seems awfully protective of you, and remember when Killer moth's daughter Kitten danced with Robin, well, he seemed a whole lot happier dancing with you."
"Yes… but…"
"What?" having a confused look Beast boy wondered what was wrong with the Tamaranian.
"I'm not sure it seems that when I get close to… 'expressing' myself to him… his attention goes elsewhere… maybe he doesn't like me at all…" Starfire practically slammed her head onto the counter top and began to cry freely.
Beast boy tried to reassure the red head, who had her face turned away from him, as if she didn't want anyone to see her sad. "Well… maybe… you know, he's not the most open kind of guy" looking for something to say Beast boy continued. "Hey, you know what?"
Turning her head, not caring about her dried up tears, she looked at the green changeling beside her, and thought to herself "I cannot remember when Beast boy was so caring,, maybe this 'thing' inside of him also changed him in other ways, other than being fast to anger" "What?"
"Well maybe he likes you, but he his sensitive about those things and avoids them, so what I suggest to you is to just corner him and ask him out"
Starfire sat up strait at Beast boy's words of encouragement "You know, you may be right"
"You think?"
"Yes, Because Raven gave me similar advice"
"Never new Raven could be so caring and give such good advice, must be a girl-to-girl talk thing"
"Although she said 'Why don't you just ask him out already, and stop crying like a baby. Now if you are done, could you please leave my room' so I figured she just wanted me 'out of her hair." "Even though I cannot even fit under her hair"
With Starfire's best imitation of Raven done, he chuckle to himself. "I could always be wrong" "So you're going to ask him out then?"
"Yes I will build up my courage, and 'ask him out', yes I will not fail"
"Alright you do that" Beast boy got up from his stool and headed for the stairway. Beast boy stopped at the foot of the stairwell and turned his head. "Aren't you going to bed as well?"
"Hmm? Oh yes I am" after drinking the rest of her mustard beverage, Starfire put her mug into the sink and floated off towards her room past Beast boy. "Have a good sleep" with a yawn she silently disappeared down the hallway.
Figuring that he should go back to sleep in the medical room Beast boy tiptoed over there. As Beast boy open the door to the medical room he stopped for a second. "What was that? Probably nothing" after dismissing the sound as most likely the tower creaking or something Beast boy headed into the room and laid down for a good night's rest.
"AHHHHHH!" bolting upright and sweating Raven looked around her room. After getting out of her bed and putting a simple black nightgown on Raven headed towards her bathroom. After rinsing her face with cold water, she looked at the worried teen in her mirror. "What is wrong with me? After a dream I can usually remember it. But I feel it was the same dream I had last night to. But I can't remember, no matter how hard I try" stumbling over to her bed she flopped down not caring to pull the covers over. After she looked at the clock which read 2:40 in the morning, Raven rolled over to her side "Maybe… I could call my brother… for some help..." after a yawn she had fallen asleep.
Hey I hoped you liked this installment. I realized that this one turned out to be a bit of a Beast boy-dealing-with-his-problems-chapter, but I tried to add some other stuff to ;) I hope you liked it; my next chapter will be done hopefully soon. Please R&R
PS throughout the chapters (especially upcoming ones) I'm going to make stuff up that may or may not be true to the 'Teen Titans universe' you know just to make sense or twist or what ever.
