Hey, whatd'ya know? I got four reviews! That's four more than I got for friends' first chappie! Anyway, good to see you CrazyDeafGirl, we should really talk with Emails or something.
Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own any of the Teen Titans, but if you all give me five bucks per word, I just might be able to sweet talk Raven into marrying me.
Chapter 2: Flu Bug, Love Bug and all in Between
Beast Boy woke up and looked at his watch, the green digits noted 6:47
"What am I doing up so soon?" he asked himself when a sharp pain went through his brain. The changeling grabbed both sides of his head while screaming "Mondo ice cream pain! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" He bolted to the kitchen and drank all the hot water in Raven's tea kettle in one gulp
"Glad that's over wi-" his words were clouded by his own loud sneeze. He sniffed and wiped his nose with his index finger, noticing it was wet; he walked to the bathroom and took a look in the mirror, what he saw there made him take a few steps pack and to take a fearful gasp. It was him, Beast Boy, but he didn't look like any other day, his nose was red and puffy, his eyes tearing and a rather disgusting looking green substance was at the end of his left nostril.
"Man! I look like…like-" the entire tower rocked from side to side and the walls were colored in glowing negative black, it lasted for a millisecond and the stopped, giving the green skinned boy enough time to leave the small bathroom and start racing towards the living quarters or Barracks as Robin liked to call them when it happened again, this time the boy was knocked off his feet and onto the red carpet which was now colored glowing black. Beast Boy got up and ran towards the second last room in the corridor, he knocked at the steel door and asked "Raven? You okay?"
"Go away" came the door's reply, Raven's voice sounded like she was talking with a stuffy nose. Although the direct order to go away, a green worm crawled its way under Raven's door and morphed back to Beast Boy, the boy looked at the dark figure who was lying in bed, Raven looked a lot like him, with a stuffed red nose, her long purple hair messed up, the usually violet eyes tearing and slightly red and her face flushed. The Goth looked back at him and sighed "You got it to?" she asked while blowing her nose in a white tissue
"Looks like it" he replied, waiting for the second "Go away" to come and escort him out of the dark room
"Well" she said while trying to get up, giving up on the idea shortly after trying "You can stay here, under two conditions: one, it's on your own risk and two, you'll get your own teacup and go warm up another go of hot water, deal?" she sneezed, black energy surged from her body and onto the tower, rocking it like a bottle of cola
"You mean I can stay? In your room? Cool!" he said after getting up from the floor. The boy bolted from the sanctum of the Goth girl and again, to the kitchen, he filled the silver kettle with water, boiled them and raced back to Raven's room
"Thanks B" she said and pored herself another cup of her infamous herbal tea. Beast Boy just stood there, rocking forward and backwards, never taking his eyes off Raven
"Hey Beast Boy, um…what's with you?" asked Raven, that snapped the changeling out of his trance
"I wa…was just la…looking for a…a place to sit at" he explained, mentally slapping himself with a voice screaming in his head "You idiot!"
"Oh" she replied, removing some of her dark purple blanket, revealing a patch of black sheets "You can sit here if you want ta…taa….CHOOO!" she sneezed again, nearly knocking the building off its foundations
"Bless you" he giggled while serving her with a tissue, he took a bow and said in a British accent "Your handkerchief milady"
Raven laughed lightly and took the tissue from his hand
"Wait…did you just…laugh? At one of my jokes?" he put his hand on her forehead and then pulled it back quickly, shaking it like he was touching something sizzling
"Wahoo Raven! You're burning up!" he screamed
the half-demon giggled again, pulling him a bit closer to her with a splash of black energy
"See, since this flu thing got my powers going haywire anyway, I decided 'what the heck? I might as well show some emotions" she explained "Oh and by the way, just for you to know, I always thought you were a little funny"
a few moments of silence went between the two teens, where they just stared at each other; those moments were interrupted by Beast Boy's loud sneeze
"Um…you know what we need? A little music!" said the changeling, seeing Raven trying to hide her already blushed cheeks, which just turned redder.
"G…good idea B" she replied
"did he see me blush?" crossed a thought through her brain
"of course he did, silly" replied a giggling voice
"I'm afraid so" added a somewhat tired voice
"yup" summarized Valor
"Umm…hey BB, how about some music?" asked Raven
"Music 'ill be good" he said shortly, grabbed the remote and hit the PLAY button
I could stay awake…just to hear you breathing…
Watch your smile while you're sleeping, while you're far away dreaming…
I could spend my life, in this sweet surrender…
I could stay lost in this moment…forever
Where as every moment I spend with you, is a moment I treasure…
They both looked at each other's eyes; both couldn't control the wide smile spreading over their faces
I don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep, cuz I miss you babe
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cuz even when I dream of you…the sweetest dream will never do
I still miss you babe
And I don't want to miss a thing
"Um…Beast Boy? Can you stop making goo-goo eyes at me? Wait; did I just say goo-goo eyes?" Raven still stayed at the same position, so close to the boy that he could almost sense her
"You stop it first" he said in a dazed voice
"I…I can't" she replied shamefully
"Well I can't either" he said with a smile that made Raven almost fully convinced that he was drugged
"Beast Boy? Can I tell you something?"
"Sure"
"Just don't go on telling this to everyone"
"Okay"
"I…"she gulped "I l…lo…lo…CHOOO!!!" they were both blasted back, banging their heads against the opposing walls of the dark room.
"You okay Rae?" asked the shape shifter
"Yeah" she muttered "I just banged my head against the stupid closet"
"The closet?! Well….will you look at the time" Beast Boy looked at his watch "8:20, gotta go make some breakfast" and with that, he raced out of the room, leaving Raven confused, staring wide eyed at the closet's doors, rubbing her head
He ran to the living room, finding the other three Titans watching T.V when the building rattled again, this time it was stronger
"Earthquake!" screamed Starfire
"Monster attack!" shot Cyborg
"We're under an air strike!" said Robin while ducking under the large table
"Dudes, it's Raven!" shouted the shape shifter
"Raven? What'dya mean Raven?" asked The Boy Wonder while getting up from under the table
"She's got some Azerathian flu thing going on and every sneeze she sneezes is…well you just felt it" explained the green teen
"Great…" sighed Cyborg "A flu bug turned Raven into an artillery cannon?"
"In a way…yeah" said Beast Boy
"I think we should quarantine the Barracks" suggested Robin
"and where will we be sleeping?!" roared the mechanical man
"I call on the living room!" yelled Robin
"I'll stay in the garage, with my baby" added Cyborg and walked away
"And I'll be in the 'Barracks', well, someone's gotta keep her company right? And seeing I'm also si…si….CHOO! I'm the best man for the job" declared Beast Boy and trailed off towards the 'contaminated area'
"Pardon me robin, but may I also dwell in the room of living along with you?" asked Starfire
"S…Sure Star"
"Goo…."she yawned "…D, as I am still tired from contest of flying that we have conducted last night"
"Yeah…I forgot to thank you for helping me test flight the R-Jet's super sonic flight engine last night"
"And how is the engine of super sonic flight doing?" she asked
"Like clockworks, thanks to our little race, I've been able to sort out a few bugs in the flight computer…if you want I can set you a flight in a few hours" suggested Robin
"That will be marvelous! Thank you friend!" she kissed him passionately, their lips locked tight together, Robin put his arms around her and held her close to him when she suddenly broke loose and flew away, leaving The Boy wonder staring into space, still in the same position he was when their lips came together, thinking "What just happened? Did I kiss her wrong? Maybe it's the wrong way to kiss someone in Tamaran? Did I hurt her? Did my breath smell? What did I do wrong?!"
He ran to the flight hangar that him and Cyborg built last week, he loved that place, it was like his own private Ivory tower and he could think when he was in there. "Think, Yeah, that's a good idea, all I need is to think and I'll solve this. Man, this is so ironic, I've battled evil monsters, psychotic villains, Robot commanders and that crazy Kitty chick, but I can't tell what I did wrong when I kiss one girl? Jeez, so much for the all knowing superhero" Robin sat on the left wing of the R-Jet, his own hands work, like the R-Cycle and the R-fighter, also known as the R-Copter. His legs dangled from beneath the wing as he rocked them back and forth, pondering about what happened.
Author Notes:
I wanted to make one story that will be fluff-less, I really did, honest. But then I heard an angry mob forming in the back of my head screaming "We want fluff! We want fluff!" I couldn't help writing Tales of the Closet. I promise my next story will have as less fluff as possible and to the people who love fluffy stories, don't worry, this one has many more fluff-dripping chapters….I think.
Sayonara dudes!
Peace out!
