I just want to SINCERELY apologize for this being SO late. TT; I had school, and then my computer fell ill. I had to get a new computer, and I lost the chapter I was working on in Fragrant Soul from that. So I had to write a completely new chapter. This goes in a really different direction than I first had in mind. But I'd like to end this fanfiction. I'm sorry. But I'm already thinking of writing a spin-off. ;
Also, as a sidenote, a friend of mine was continually sending me links, and I was having trouble writing this chapter. It's horrid, I'm sorry. Again.

The young man had hardly gotten out of the door, when Raven came barreling out, trying to stop him. He turned halfway at the call of his voice, and squeaked just as the girl collided into him. With a yelp from Beastboy, the two collapsed to the ground with Raven sprawled over Beastboy. Both stared at each other embarassedly, as a light red blush crept it's way over their chest.
"Erh..." Raven stared wide-eyed down at the changeling, her cheeks flaring as she registered how firm his body was under hers. She could hear Love goading her gently to make a move, to do something! Happiness giggled, while Bravery gagged, as the images Love sent to Raven richocheted around the empath's mind."
An equally bright blush started to creep over Beastboy's cheeks. The Beast had surfaced again, but not with any words. More with the feral desire of a creature when its mate is in heat. That constricting, blazing heat that wanted Beastboy's mind to melt and let his instincts take over. Instincts which, to Beastboy's mortified embarassment, started to send very R rated scenes to his brain. In the back of his mind, a realization registered: Raven was blushing.
Raven and Beastboy continued to stare at each other, unable to voice any intelligent conversation, or make a logical move away from each other. Both of their minds were swamped with the heat of desires so hot that any thoughts of restraint started to melt under the infernos. Vaguely, sensible thoughts would surface, making the empath and changling realize they should move away from each other, say something, anything besides stay there!
"I..uhm...I.." Attempting a futile effort to get her mind to work, Raven mumbled incoherently. Her purple eyes were still locked into Beastboy's feral green ones. Something in those eyes was distracting her, helping to take over her body along with the desires welling up in her own heart.
Beastboy didn't hear her mumble though, his thoughts were all blurring together. Working with instincts, the changelings hands slid up to Raven's upper arms, gripping them firmly. Pulling the girl farther down, while at the same time raising slightly to meet her half way, Beastboy pressed his lips to the empath's.
Raven's eyes widened in surprise, and above, the lights were engulfed in black auras before being crushed. Little dustings of glass sprinkled around the two of them, and Raven slowly relaxed into the kiss from sheer desire.
At first it was an innocent kiss, but it evolved into something more passionate as both members let go of any cares they may have had earlier. Who cared who saw them? Who cared what others thought? Who cared who they kissed? Both Beastboy and Raven closed their eyes as their arms tangled around around each other.
For that brief moment, only the two of them existed in that kiss. Only both of them was what mattered. Only them. But that moment came to a shattering finale as a shriek of horror filled the air from somewhere above. It could have made the air itself crack into a billion little splintery pieces.
Realization snapped back into Raven's mind, and she pushed away from Beastboy's still desiring lips. Her eyes were wide with fear, and embarassment had etched its mark across her cheeks in bright red. Stumbling off of Beastboy, she left the stunned, and slightly dazed hero laying on the floor at the feet of Terra.
More lights broke as Raven calmed down the emotions jolting around her body. Thanks to that fear and embarassment, about six more lights were shattered in the hallway, and a shattering sound from inside Raven's room indicated her powers had broken a few things in there.
Beastboy looked up into Terra's shocked expression, which evovled into one of rage. He had been basking in the afterglow of desire, but a the icy coldness of realization slammed into him full force. Scrambling to his feet, and holding up his hands in a surrendering type gesture, he started to babble, "Terra, it's not what it looks like! Well, I mean...it's not...what you think it is!"
With cold blue eyes, Terra's eyes shifted from Beastboy, to the still sitting Raven. The empath was still trying to catch her breath, and slow her shaking heart. The ground the Tower stood on started to vibrate slightly, causing any hanging lights in the building to sway gently. Glaring at the empath, the geomancer started to speak with a sharp edge, "Don't try to cover up for Raven, Beastboy. She just thinks that since she looks like me now that you'll actually love her. She's always been jealous of us. Of me."
Raven stared up at Terra for a moment, after finally reigning over her emotions, with a calm look. In the depths of her heart, Love bit back a retort, but Bravery ended up snapping it out, even though Terra couldn't hear it. Just as Raven stood up, and opened her mouth to say something, Terra's hand came slapping across the empath's face.
"Don't give me some bullshit excuse!" Shrieked Terra, obviously not liking the idea of Raven moving in on 'her' man. Raven just stared up incredulously into the face that once belonged to her. No one had slapped Raven before, and the empath was still attempting to figure out what to do about it. Her emotions didn't help her decision either; Wise was as shocked as Raven, Bravery was cussing out the 'bimbo bigass', Happiness was actually speechless, Timid was sobbing, and Love was actually simmering in anger.
Beastboy, however, had to hold back the urge to pounce on Terra and beat her to hell. The Beast was inwardly roaring about her insolence at hitting Raven. How the little 'stick' should be punished for her ignorance. Straining to keep his boiling anger out of his voice, however, Beastboy attempted to speak through gritted teeth, "Terra. Stop."
"I know you've always liked BB! But don't you dare try to make moves on him just because you're in my body, you skank!" Obviously the girl hadn't heard Beastboy's strained command.
Beastboy glanced quickly at Raven, seeing her avert her eyes to the ground in what seemed to be ashamed embarassment. Vaguely, Beastboy could feel a smirk from the Beast at seeing Raven embarassed at loving the scrawny changling. A wave of need flooded Beastboy's viens; a need to protect this empath, secretly sensitive to what others thought, yet trying to get through life by herself.
Maybe she'd fooled him once. Fooled him into thinking she needed no one to get through life, but that didn't matter now. His instincts were to protect her, whether the girl wanted his protection or not. And, oddly to Beastboy's animalistic satisfaction, he knew she wanted his protection.
Terra continued on, however, unknowing to how Beastboy was feeling, "That's why you hated me in the beginning, you whore, because he loved me, and still loves me, and ignores you! You can't keep pathetically hiding it for--"
"Terra, shut the hell up!" Roared Beastboy, his voice entwined with the Beast's gruff growl.
His eyes had gotten darker around the edges, and the whites of his eyes seemed to be whiter than humanly possible. Both girls turned surprised eyes to Beastboy, and felt a wave of primordial animal ferociousness radiating from his own being.
Silence fell over all three of them. Beastboy stood there, tensed and waiting for either to start to speak. In Raven's mind, her emotions were all struck dumb from the aura now wrapping itself around the young green man. It was distinctly wolf-ish in shape, and reeked of primordial background. Yet, it didn't scare the emotions. If anything, Love would have said it was a turn-on.
"Beastboy?" squeaked Terra, her eyes starting to tear up as her lips quivered. The mental blonde was confused. This was the second time Beastboy had gotten angry with her when she confronted that stupid empath! Did he actually like her? No! He couldn't! He loved her. But...Raven was in her body, maybe Beastboy just got confused!
'No, he didn't get confused. He knew.' muttered the distinct voice of truth in the back of Terra's mind.
