Chapter 3 Part 2:
The day went by quietly, or… as quiet as it can get with six teens and a mutant worm around. No emergencies or trouble in the city. All was calm. Raven was sitting on the couch, legs crossed and book open, reading again.
Robin was sitting at the bar with a coke in hand. He was again thinking about asking Starfire out… He hadn't gotten to earlier, Cyborg had come in. As he thought about it though, Robin was thankful he hadn't had to ask right then though.
Terra had been watching music videos for the past while, staring at the TV and switching channels when a song she didn't like came on.
Cyborg had over come his little belching problem, though after that had been tempted to beat a certain little green dude up. But figured he would tease later and get his sweet peaceful revenge.
Starfire had been playing with Silkie most of the time, trying on as many different valentine outfits. Though a few times gave it a rest and sat at the bar and nibbled on what was left of the cookies.
Beast Boy had just been trying his best not to indicate that he had planted some kind of pranking trap. He had flirted with Terra a few times, not caring if it was a little obvious to the others.
Terra tore her gaze away to look over at Beast Boy. She smiled. Eh, he was better looking then the guys on TV anyways.
Beast Boy looked over at Terra when she looked at him, smiled and raised then lowered his eye brows.
Terra smiled, though she still didn't look away. Okay, so when she found nothing better to do, she stared at Beast Boy.
Raven looked over at Terra, then followed her gaze to Beast Boy. She furrowed her eyebrows. How could two people just sit there and stare at each other?
Beast Boy also just sat there staring at Terra, why not? She didn't mind, he didn't mind.
Cyborg rolled his eyes then stood up to go get himself a snack, even though it was probably almost supper time.
Beast Boy stole a quick glace at the clock, it was nearly seven already. Maybe he should ask if they should go out now. Or a minute or two later.
Yeah, you're gonna keep saying that till it's been hours then too late to go out! the voice in his head said. And Beast Boy had to agree. "Hey Terra, um..." He glanced around at the others before scooting closer to Terra so he could talk to her a little more privately. "Did you want to go now? I mean, if that's okay."
Raven shook her head, returning to her book.
Terra smiled. "Yeah!" she tried to keep her voice down a little. "Where are we going, though?" she asked.
"Dinner and a movie?" Beast Boy suggested, while keeping his voice low.
Terra smiled and nodded her head. "That sounds nice," she said before standing up.
Beast Boy smiled as well then stood up before starting for the door.
Cyborg watched him, "Well the first set of love birds are taking off," He told Raven, mainly just to tease BB and Terra duh.
Terra rolled her eyes before walking after Beast Boy.
"Knew it was coming sooner or later," Raven said.
Beast Boy looked over at Cyborg before he left the room, "Yo Cyborg! Tell me how your date with the T-car goes later okay?" He laughed then ran out of the room and soon was out of the tower.
Terra laughed before running after the green titan.
Robin also laughed at Cyborg. "You better watch it. He has pranks, and you're teasing him. Not smart."
Beast Boy turned to look at Terra as she came out and smiled once more. "Did you want a ride over? Or are you going to fly yourself over the lake?" he asked, not caring either way. But asked to be nice.
Cyborg only shrugged then flipped the TV channel, bored of whatever was on at the moment.
"Would you mind giving me a ride?" Terra asked with a grin.
Beast Boy smiled, "One ride for the pretty lady comin' up!" ha, flirt. He morphed into the flying dinosaur and gave a low caw like sound.
Terra grinned at his comment and walked over, getting up on the pterodactyl where his shoulders would be.
Beast Boy flapped his wings up and down so hard that the dust flew up around them until they were into the air. It was a steady flight, keeping his head at a good height so Terra could hold onto his neck if she needed too. He was careful about flapping his wings, trying not to flap too hard so he didn't get her too wind blown. Though he couldn't help do a few tricks, like doing barrel rolls so fast that she wouldn't be able to fall. Though after that he had stopped, and landed soon.
Beast Boy morphed human without much warning and had his hands gripping Terra's legs since she was still on his shoulders.
"AH!" Terra gave a short scream, and wrapped her arms around his neck gently so she didn't choke him or anything. "Beast Boy!" she laughed out. She rested her chin on top of his head, smiling.
"What? I was supposed to just drop you on your butt?" Beast Boy laughed, shifting his eyes to try and look up at Terra but failed of course. "Soo, where do you want to eat?" He asked as he started walking, strong enough to still carry her. "Or just eat popcorn at a movie," he laughed.
Terra laughed, not protesting and telling him to put her down or anything. "Hmm…" she thought a little about what to eat. "Well, there's the pizza place, the taco place, the burger place, or…. Ummm…" she was thinking like a teenager, of course. "Or there's… uhh… I think there's an Italian place somewhere, and China place too. Or there's the buffet," she tried to think up actual restaurants rather then just little fast food places.
Beast Boy laughed and would have shaken his head if he could have. But didn't want to move Terra's chin. "Where ever Terra, I honestly don't care...just as long as the new meat restaurant stays out of the question." He half joked.
Terra lifted her head, and leaned forward a little so she was closer to his face. "You know I wouldn't put you through that torture," she laughed a little before pulling back again to rest her chin back on his head. "Hmm… Italian does sound kinda good…" she said more to herself. "What do you think? Does that sound good?" she asked.
Beast Boys eyes shifted to look at Terra when she leaned her head closer to his face. "Italian it is then!" He grinned then shrugged his shoulders so Terra fell to his back. Titan or not anyone sitting on his shoulders for too long would start to hurt. He looped his hands around Terra's legs so he held her up. "Onward to supper!" He shouted before starting a soft jog (if that's possible) to the nearest Italian restaurant.
Terra laughed, leaving her arms around his neck. She laughed almost the whole way. She was having a lot of fun already, and they'd only been gone a few minutes. Heck, they could find a way to have fun locked in an empty room with nothing to do.
Beast Boy carried Terra most of the way, though let her down a block or two from the restaurant. His hand went up and down his back in mock pain. "Jeez! Mizz bony butt!" he laughed, giving her a playful shove.
Terra laughed and shoved him back. "You've fought demonically ugly monsters, crazy masked med, and WAY more and you complain about me?" she joked back, pushing him a second time.
Beast Boy looked at Terra with a blank look before nodding. "Yes, yes I do!" He laughed then pushed her back with his shoulder.
Terra laughed, a little bit and pushed him once again, though harder this time. "Well, that doesn't make sense!" she protested. …Who said they had to make sense though?
"So what? Making sense is no fun! How else do you annoy people if you make sense?" He asked then pushed her again and then laughed. He looked at the restaurant they were coming too, just a little place but they were pretty good.
Terra shrugged. "I dunno, you tell me," she joked. Her eyes looked up to the restaurant and she almost instantly became hungrier. Alfredo sounded really good… And they had REALLY good bread here… and bread sticks!
Beast Boy looked around the dining room as they walked in. The walls were a nice cream color and the floor carpeted dark forest green. Little mini bars separated a few spots around the booths. "Wanna sit in a two seater?" He asked referring to one of the little tables with only two seats.
Terra nodded. "Yeah, sure," she replied as she headed over to one. She looked around as she walked, she liked it in here. It always smelled good.
Beast Boy ran ahead and pulled the first chair out for Terra and smiled at her warmly.
Terra slowed and watched him pull the chair out before smiling back and walking over to take her seat. "Thanks," she said, looking up at him.
"No problem," Beast Boy pushed her chair back in then took his own. "So, watcha gettin? I'm getting the salad." He looked around; he thought this place would be a little more crowded. Truth be told for a regular night this place was pretty busy. But got Valentines Day night it was kinda empty.
Terra thought for a moment. "Well, I was thinking about getting Alfredo, it sounds really good right now," she said as she picked up the menu to scan through real quick. She looked back up and around a little bit before looking at Beast Boy.
The waiter soon came and took their orders. A minute or two later Beast Boy was digging into his salad.
Terra's food took a little longer to get there. But when it finally did, she happily started eating as she drank out of the glass filled with cherry coke they'd given her.
Beast Boy forked the last of his food in his mouth and resisted the urge to let out a loud belch. He looked over at Terra and tried to act surprised. "Oh my god, I got done eating before you!"
"Oh shut up!" Terra laughed. "You got your food before me, too!" she protested with a laugh. She finished just a few minutes later, draining the last of her cherry coke before setting the glass down again.
Beast Boy laughed then looked around before stretching his arms out and yawning. "We should hurry if were going to catch a movie," he chuckled.
"Yeah," Terra agreed before pushing her chair back and standing up. "So… what movie are we gonna watch?" she asked.
"I dunno," Beast Boy shrugged then stood up, "You can pick. I'm gonna go pay the bill, meet you outside?"
"No way," Terra smiled a little. "You have to let me pay for at least half of it!" she told him as she started towards the counter. She truly doubted he would let her pay for any of it, even just her drink.
"I knew you where going to say that!" He half laughed then ran ahead, "I'm paying! That's final! Ha-ha!" He ran to the counter and slapped the money on it and stuck his tongue out at Terra.
The guy at the counter gave them weird looks but shrugged and took the money.
"You suck!" Terra joked. When she came up to him she playfully punched him on the arm. "I call dibs on movie!" she stuck her tongue back out at him and laughed before heading to the front doors.
Beast Boy laughed then followed Terra out the doors and into the night air. "Terra, it's the guys job to pay, your so... difficult, you know that?" he laughed then returned her play punch.
Terra laughed along. "Yeah, I know," she agreed, not really joking. She looked around a little, it was a nice night. As she looked 'around' her eyes somehow stopped on Beast Boy. Nothing new, that happened just about every day. Okay, it did happen every day. Multiple times.
"So, what movie did you want to watch?" Beast Boy asked as he stole a quick glance at Terra, noticing she was looking at him he looked away quickly and blushed.
Terra's eyes fell to the ground as she thought. "Uhh…" she turned her head to face in front of her again. "Well… I dunno…" she said. "We could always just pick a random one, and if we don't like it, we could leave." She glanced over before saying, "Or there are always… pranks," she suggested with a grin as she looked over at him again.
Beast Boy grinned at the very word 'pranks'. "I like how you think," he laughed. "C'mon let's hurry up! First one to the movies has to pay!" Beast Boy morphed into a cheetah and sprinted off to get a good start. Even though his words had sounded weird, but they had almost always argued over who bought.
"HEY! That's not fair! CHEATER!" Terra yelled after him as she pulled up the piece of concrete under her feet and sped off after him. The night breeze whipped through her hair, making fly behind her as she sped off after the green changeling.
Beast Boy was so tempted to morph human his corny joke about a cheating cheetah, but didn't. Because he wanted to pay dag gone it. He morphed from a few animals to the next, keeping pace and not slowing down. And even though Terra was literally right on his tail he one.
Beast boy morphed human as he skidded to the stop, since he had been in a sitting position as a grey hound he was on his butt. "Woot! Who's your daddy! Oh yeah! No one beats me!" Beast Boy stood up then started doing a winning dance. "Woot woot!"
Terra frowned. Dude… that was NOT fair! He paid for dinner! So, instead of stopping, she sped up, stopping right at the little ticket booth. She jumped off the rock, pulling money out of her pocket and nearly slamming it down on the counter. She turned to Beast Boy, grinning cockily. "Who's your daddy now?" she replied with a smirk set placidly on her face.
Beast Boys arms dropped to the side as he stared at Terra disbelieving. "Girl! I-gr-you-" he kept cutting himself off and finally crossed his arms in a pouty way.
Terra grinned in both an innocent and cocky way, if that's possible. "Was there anything you wanted to see?" she asked. "If not, I'll just choose at random," she laughed, not joking in any way at all.
Half of Beast Boy's lower lip came up as his eye brows lowered. "I'm paying," he said before walking past and forcing the money in her hands. "One way or another," he then let his own cocky grin on his face as he walked into the movies.
Terra stared, slightly dumbfounded, blinking as he walked off. The two tickets were set on the counter and she grabbed them up before running after Beast Boy. "Beast Boy!" she whined. "Take it back! I don't want it!"
Beast Boy walked with his hands held to his chest crossed. "No," he was grinning. "It's my job to pay, your just gonna have to deal with it." he laughed then opened one closed eye to look at her.
Terra glared at him, jokingly of course. "You're impossible," she mumbled, pouting in mock sadness and anger. She looked around a little, stealing a couple glances at Beast Boy. "So, did you wanna go straight to the movie, or…" she trailed. She didn't really need anything to snack on, seeing as how she'd just eaten.
"I don't care," Beast Boy let his arms drop and his other eye to open. "You pick."
"Okay, then," Terra said before heading towards the room the movie would be playing in. She pushed the door open to find the lights still dimply lit and the screen showing some advertisement. "Where do you wanna sit?" It wasn't too full yet, and Terra wasn't sure it would get much fuller.
Beast Boy looked around the movie room, scanning each row till he found a couple of empty seats near the middle. "Over here!" he grabbed Terra's wrist and led her to the seats.
Terra grinned when he grabbed her wrist, instant reaction, and she followed him to the two empty seats. She sat down in one, and looked up at the screen. "I'd say we have a few more minutes until the movie starts. Er… previews start," she corrected herself.
Beast Boy took his seat next to Terra and let go of her wrist. "Yeah... so what are two teenagers supposed to do while they wait?" he asked himself while smirking in an 'I already got the answer' type way. He looked at the people in front of him and leaned forward before poking the dude in the head.
"Ow!" The guy yelped.
Beast Boy smuggled laughs.
Terra tried not to laugh, though she grinned. She faked a yawn before leaning back in her seat and putting her feet up on the back of the chair of the girl in front of her.
The girl turned around, giving the green teen and the blonde girl both weird and annoyed looks.
Terra merely smiled sweetly and left her feet where they were.
Beast Boy did his best to make his laughter sound like coughs. though his laughs were a little too high pitched for the laughter to make a good coughing noise.
Terra had laughed when Beast Boy did, she loved his laugh. It wasn't long afterwards that the previews started, and then soon, the movie was on. Terra finally forced herself to gain control and stop laughing. She looked up at the screen, watching the movie.
Beast Boy watched the TV screen as the movie played. It wasn't too bad, some romance and comedy. He was doing voice overs a lot though, why did Cyborg get all the fun? Voice overs were very amusing, though the other people didn't seem to think so. One guy even threw popcorn at Beast Boy. At that B had turned around and whispered "Okay fine, see if I save you next time some psycho rampages through town" then turned back around and smuggled his laughs.
Terra had been trying to contain her laughter at the voice overs. She thought they were funny. When Beast Boy talked to the popcorn guy, Terra couldn't help but laugh, attempting to cover it up with coughs. Turning back, she saw the guy giving Beast Boy weird looks as if he hadn't caught that exactly, as if he didn't know they were Teen Titans. Terra shook her head, muttering something.
"People these days, no respect for super heroes!" Beast Boy said as seriously as he could... okay so it didn't really work because he was hardly ever serious about anything.
Terra laughed a little. As the movie continued on, Terra started becoming bored with it. By the middle of the movie, she was glancing around, glancing at Beast Boy more then looking up at the screen. Sometimes she would stare at the back of the head of the girl in front of her, wanting so bad to just… flick her or something. She would always glance over at Beast Boy and forget about the brunette girl.
Beast Boy made fake snoring noises a few times, and then getting threatened to be kicked out of the movie theater. But over all he actually had fun.
When the movie came to an end Beast Boy stood up and screamed "It's finally over! I lived through it!"
All the people (mostly girls) were in tears because it had been so 'cute' stared at him and mumbled.
Terra stood up, stretching. "Yeah, I thought we wouldn't make it through that one," she joked before looking around. She stared at all the girls in tears. "What babies…" she said. "It wasn't that sad, or cute or whatever." Then she paused before grinning. "Uh oh… I think we outta sue whoever made this movie. IT was so bad that people are actually crying because of it!" she joked.
Beast Boy laughed at Terra's joking. He looked around at the other teenagers and few adults. They looked ready to start throwing things, and didn't seem to care Beast Boy and Terra where Titans.
"C'mon Terra, better go before we start a war with the normal people." he joked before starting his walk to the door.
Terra grinned again as she looked around at the people shooting them glares and dirty looks. She jogged to catch up with Beast Boy, and when she did, she slowed to walk by his side. She hadn't entirely meant to do it, but her hand bumped into his, and she went on, pretending not to have noticed.
Beast Boy felt the slight bump and smiled a small one. He stole a glance over at Terra before turning around to look over the people before leaving the room.
"Thank you all! You have all been a wonderful mean of amusement! I hope to see you all soon when defending the city! And remember the motto! WHENS THERE'S TROUBLE YOU KNOW WHO TO CALL! BEAST BOY! Woot!" he cheered before jogging out of the room full of annoyed people.
Terra laughed before taking the attitude of a theatre worker. "And thanks again, for keeping our lovely theatre clean." She spotted the guy that had thrown popcorn at Beast Boy. "Except you, popcorn boy, I'll be watching you," she assured him in a dangerous voice before running out after Beast Boy.
Beast Boy laughed out loud before waiting long enough for Terra to catch up, then walking about as close as he could to her. "That was... fun," he laughed again.
Terra laughed too. "Yeah, I got kinda distracted by the middle of the movie, I got bored," she said. "But the rest was fun." By 'the rest' she meant tormenting the people.
"Yeah, when it comes to annoying people, we're cool like that" Beast Boy grinned and gave his best 'cool' look.
"Oh yeah," Terra agreed in her best 'cool voice' with the coolest look she could come up with. She laughed a little bit again; she couldn't keep that look on her face for very long without laughing. She looked around a little, up at the ceiling for no real reason, around at the people and advertisements for movies. "So…" she started. "Are we going home? Or was there anything else we wanted to do?" she asked.
Beast Boy dropped the look then glanced at Terra and shrugged. "I dunno... wanna just... go for... a walk maybe? We haven't had much time alone lately." he blushed as he said this.
"Yeah," Terra agreed, "I noticed," she was blushing a little too, even as she said, "A walk sounds… nice," with a gentle smile as she glanced over at him.
Beast Boy smiled at her then walked out side, again holding the door open for Terra. "After you," he said with a joking bow.
Terra chuckled a little before replying, "Why thank you, kind sir," in a joking voice. She stepped outside and looked around again. It was a nice night, not too cold, open, cloudless sky. A few people here and there, walking along from shop to shop, maybe doing some late night shopping. Or, maybe spending time with the person they cared for, a lot of teens, and even adults were walking down the sidewalks together, some hand in hand, others not.
Beast Boy chuckled then let the door close behind him. "So... are we walking around aimlessly OR want to head some where?" He asked, standing right next to her and looking at her with a gentle smile plastered on his face.
Terra looked back at him as he spoke. She loved that smile, it made her instantly smile back. "Well… I guess we could just walk around aimlessly, and then when we decide to head home, we can actually walk somewhere," she said.
Beast Boy nodded slowly, "works for me!" He looked around at the small part of town they where in.
C'mon, hold her hand! You know you want too! the little voice nudged. Not like she is going to throw you into the building if you do.
Beast Boy listened then let his hand slip into hers before starting a slow walk and wishing he could hide the light pink blush that was sprayed over his face.
Terra was almost startled at what had happened. She just hadn't expected it. Her head turned to look at him as her eyes glanced down at their hands, just to make sure she wasn't imagining it. A smile spread across her face, as well as a blush, as she looked back to where they were going and let her fingers lace through his.
Beast Boy's pink blush turned more into a red one.
"S-so..." He stuttered. Okay he couldn't really think of anything to say. He hated it when he stuttered, it was embarrassing. He was almost sure he would mess his words up tonight too, happened all the time when he was around Terra.
Terra couldn't find anything to say… she couldn't find her voice to even repeat his 'so'. Her face was nearing a bright red blush as well. She tried to talk, opening her mouth, but then closing again. "So… uhh…" she was at a loss for words.
Beast Boy looked down at his feet as he walked then looked back up. For being February, it was fairly warm. "Hey, wanna see something cool?" he turned his head to look at Terra. It was clear out and the moon was bright in it's prime in the deep ocean blue sky. The lake would reflect the moon up above, and that mixed with the stars was something worth seeing. The mountains in the distance would only add to the scenery.
Terra looked back over at Beast Boy. "Okay," she said with a smile.
"Great! c'mon!" Beast Boy tugged at Terra's hand, unwilling to let go as he dashed for the beach.
Terra laughed at his enthusiasm and ran with him, still gripping his hand. "Where are we going?" she asked him.
"The beach! It's really nice when the moons out," Beast Boy replied.
They weren't that far to begin with, so they were at the quiet beach only a minute or two later. Beast Boy had stopped his run and it had turned back into a jog, though still gripping Terra's hand of course!
A couple or two were there, but not too many.
The moon's silver reflection rippled in the mock waves the lake made. It was warm out, almost as if it was summer. A west wind blew every now and then, but not too often.
Terra looked around the near empty beach when they came to it, her hand still laced with Beast Boy's. Her head tilted back, looking at the clear night sky, the white-silver moon, and the shimmering stars. Her gaze dropped to the lake, the moon's reflection rippling, as well as the silver flecks that were stars. They danced in the rippling water, sparkling in the dark blue water. It was beautiful. Terra couldn't decide what to look at, the reflection of the night sky in the water, or the real thing
Beast Boy's eyes darted over to watch Terra. He would rather gaze at her more then any moon any time.
"Like it?" He asked, his voice in a soft whisper, though he hadn't meant for it to be.
Terra nodded. "Yeah," she said, her voice coming out the same way, causing her to clear her throat a little. She looked back at Beast Boy, smiling.
Beast Boy smiled softy at Terra after turning his head to get a full look of her face. His mouth was half open in the smile, showing his teeth barely, his head was slightly cocked. His green eyes scanned Terra's face then locked into her eyes.
Terra glanced back at the lake and sky before looking back to Beast Boy. It seemed near impossible to turn away from that face for too long at a time. Her eyes were locked into his as well; it felt like she couldn't look away. She could see stars reflecting in his eyes, which only made her stare more.
Beast Boy could match the sound of the moving lake to the look of Terra's ocean blue eyes. The wind blew gently over the water and sand. Picking some up but hardly any though making rustling noises as it did so.
Beast Boy couldn't stand the temptation of standing so close to Terra, both locked in the same position. His hand gripped hers a little tighter and pulled her closer, not much but a little as his head leaned forward. Again not much, but enough to suggest a kiss, and this time with no renegade Silkie to bump into him.
Terra allowed her hand to tighten a little bit too as she took a small step closer to him, almost closing the gap between them, but there was still space. She leaned her head in as well, agreeing to the suggestion of a kiss. Her heart picked up the pace a little, beating harder and faster as her breathing became a little sharper out of excitement.
Beast Boy watched her come closer before taking a gulp of air and closing his eyes as the gap closed. Even though they where kissing, he held on to her hand, gripping it slightly tighter from his own excitement. Though not hard enough to hurt her. His other hand made its way to the back of Terra's head.
As Terra's eyes closed and she felt Beast Boy's lips against hers, her hand tightened as well, though not too much. Her spare had had come to rest on first his shoulder, but seconds later moved to the back of his neck.
Beast Boy took his time, making it a slow kiss. It was valentines, and he saw no hurry anyways! Besides, it had been their first kiss in probably months.
Though when the changeling started to run out of air he was forced back, though fought against his need of oxygen as long as he could. He didn't go back far and when he did he pulled gently at Terra's lips, making a slight noise.
Terra's knees were shaking slightly, she felt like she might faint. When he pulled back, she did too, taking in a few gulps of air. Just looking at his face made her want to faint sometimes, so this had even more of an effect.
Beast Boy's stomach felt twisted, though in the good type of way. His head was still cocked and the soft smile painted on his face. His eyes half closed and his eye brows up.
"Happy valentines Terra," he whispered softy.
Terra smiled a gentle, soft smile. "Happy Valentine's, Beast Boy," she replied. She found she still couldn't look away from his eyes.
"Hey Terra..." Beast Boy whispered once more, leaning pushing his body a little closer to hers. "You're it!" at that he pushed away from her and let go of her hand. Then started running backwards.
"Beast Boy!" Terra yelled at him before laughing and running to catch up with him. The wind whipped through her hair as she ran after him, sending it rippling behind her as she chased the green teen.
Beast Boy made mocking faces at Terra before turning around and running from the pursuing blonde. "Ha-ha! Slow poke!" he laughed before morphing into a turtle to tease her then into a grey hound and ran through the wet sand the waves left behind.
Terra grinned before summoning a rock to her. She jumped on, she could fly faster then she could run, even though she could run pretty fast. The rock continued gaining speed until the blonde found a speed she liked and stuck to it. If she needed to speed up, she would.
Beast Boy's thin dog formed head looked up at Terra and he barked before shrinking, morphing into a crab and burring under the sand, yeah he was a bit of a cheater.
Terra stopped and frowned. "Cheater!" she yelled at the spot he'd buried himself under. Though a moment later, a light bulb went off in her head and she grinned. Sand was little grains of rock. She brought a gloved hand up and lifted the sand in the spot Beast Boy had been hiding and threw it all to the side. "You forgot one thing," she told him with a triumphant smirk on her face.
Aw crap... Beast Boy thought as the sand was swept aside, he morphed back human then looked up at her, "Does this mean I'm it?" he asked, with a smirk of his own.
Terra thought for a brief moment, before grinning again. "Yep!" she exclaimed, still standing her rock. Next second, she sped off again in the other direction, laughing to herself a little.
Beast Boy growled playfully before taking off after the speeding Terra. He morphed into a cheetah to catch up. Then jumped into the air as a hawk. He was right above her and knew there was about only one way to 'tag' Terra back. Grinning to himself Beast Boy swooped down at the last moment morphed human and tackled Terra from the rock. Rough landing but the wet sand was soft enough so the fall didn't hurt too much.
"AH!" Terra yelled as she was knocked off the rock and it crashed, tumbling to a stop a little ways away. Though, Terra saw none of this, her eyes had been jammed close when she'd lost balance. She grunted as she hit the ground, leaving her eyes closed for a moment.
Terra brought one hand to her face, rubbing her eyes before opening them. She was startled when she opened her eyes and immediately blushed a both bright and deep red. She opened her mouth to say something, but no sound came out at first. She'd lost her voice again as she came to realize she wasn't on the ground at all, but had landed on top of Beast Boy. No matter how hard she tried to say something, she couldn't, and she also found she was immobilized with embarrassment.
Beast Boy took a minute to finally speak, though it came out in a whisper. "Have a nice landing?" he joked. His eyes locked in hers once more as his blush deepened into a crimson color. He was almost afraid to breath, because that would mean puffing his chest up. Which Terra was currently lying on top of.
Terra finally came to realize she hadn't moved. "Sorry, I'm so sorry," she said quickly as she brought her hands down on either side of him, ignoring the fact that she was quite comfortable, to push herself up. Her blush became ever redder out of embarrassment.
Beast Boy took small slow breaths so he didn't have to move his chest as much. "Hey, it's cool." He grinned faintly, and the crimson blush stayed sprayed over his face.
Terra tried to grin, but it came out as more of a tiny, nervous grin as she pushed herself off of him, to allow him to sit up. The blush spread over her face stayed there, as much as she didn't want it too.
Beast Boy used his arms and pushed himself up, taking notice of the fact that wet sand was hiding in his messy green hair. Beast Boy ran his fingers through the spiked hair and then tried shaking out most of the sand. "This is going to be 'fun' to clean out," He joked while stealing a glance at Terra and grinning to himself. Okay, even though the moment a minute ago was rather... awkward, he hadn't minded really.
Terra was sitting with her knees up to her chest and her arms loosely around them. She glanced over as Beast Boy ran his fingers through his hair though immediately looked away in fear of drooling. She looked back to him, and laughed a little, still nervously though. "Yeah," she agreed, letting her gaze fall back to the water. She couldn't say she hadn't liked opening her eyes to find that had happened, but it was still embarrassing.
Beast Boy set his eyes on Terra, and was helpless against the grin that swept over his face. He scooted over so he was sitting next to Terra. His arms hanging loosely over his knees that were half way to his chin. Course he was slumping too. His blush had started to fade away.
Another mock wave pushed its self on shore, coming to the two Titans feet before recoiling back to its body and leaving a trail of wet sand.
Terra looked over at Beast Boy as he came to sit next to her; a small smile came up her face. As a small breeze came in, Terra felt her hair be pushed behind her a little, blowing with the breeze. She mainly watched the waves come in and out, but every now and then stealing a glance at Beast Boy. She didn't want to stare like she thought she would. Next moment, she let her hands fall to her sides, her legs laid flat, and she let herself fall down on the sand, staring at the sky, again taking a glance at Beast Boy.
Beast Boy looked down at Terra with a slightly cocked eye brow. "Comfy?" he chuckled.
Terra grinned, letting her eyes fall back on him. "Very," she assured.
Beast Boy chuckled again, his shoulders moved up and down slightly. He stood up and stretched before walking over to the lake's shallow shore. He removed his glove and stuffed it in his pocket before skimming the water with his hand. He smiled before scooping some up and cupping it in his hand then walking over and dropping the water on Terra's face. Beast Boy laughed, he had done that for no logical reason. But then did teens ever really have any logic in their 'fun'?
"Holy-" Terra cut her self off from saying anything else and wiped the water off her face with her arm. She shook her head at Beast Boy before getting and walking into the shallow part of the lake as well. She came back to Beast Boy with water cupped in her own hands, which she splashed at him.
Beast Boy watched Terra, just waiting for the water. It was warm enough and he didn't mind getting a little wet for the sake of fun. "Dude!" He yelled, making a weak attempt to block the water with his arm. Even though he had been waiting for the cold lake water. "This means war!" He yelled while pointing to the air before dashing for the lake's shallow water shore.
Terra laughed at his reaction before running up behind him at the shallow water shore and pushing him in an attempt to push him into the water.
"AH!" Beast Boy yelped as he waved his arms in the air, keeping balance. He turned around and gave a mock glare at Terra. "Pushing now are we?" He laughed before pushing her, though not hard.
Terra stumbled, though had known that was about to happen. "We are now," she said as she pushed him a second time, a little harder then the last time.
Beast Boy stumbled back a few steps, using his arms for balance. "You're goin' down blondie!" he laughed before walking/running up to her and pushing her slightly harder.
"AH!" Terra almost lost balance that time, though laughed still. She pushed him a third time, harder then the second. "You'll have to do more then that to take me down!" she exclaimed.
Beast Boy laughed, even though he was pushed into the water. His butt and some of his back were soaked, but he didn't really care. "Okay fine, wanna play that way?" He grinned ina cocky way before pushing himself up and giving Terra another push, harder. The pushing game was more fun then it sounded.
Terra grunted as she hit the water, and just sat there for a minute, laughing. From her legs, to her lower back was soaked. She looked up at Beast Boy, grinning mischievously. Next moment she pounced on him, instead of pushing him, she decided to tackle him into the water.
Beast Boy was standing there triumphantly with his hands on his hips and a cocky grin on his face. Though he hadn't been expecting the tackle and was taken by surprise. "AH!"
THUMP-SPLASH
"Duuude! Now I'm completely soaked!" Beast Boy whined but laughed as well.
Terra sat up, laughing and completely soaked as well. "Well, so am I!" she pointed out as her hair dripped water. Hey, sometimes you had to risk something to gain something. Terra had to risk getting wet, so she could gain the pleasure of seeing Beast Boy with his hair all soaking wet and in his face. Yeah, she liked that.
Beast Boy sat up laughing. His hair wasn't spiked up, but in his face. The water dripped from the spiky points on his forehead and some in his eyes. "Dude, you messed my due! Great going!" He was obviously joking around. Beast Boy pushed the hair out of his face and smiled at Terra. Watching the water drip from her hair to her face.
Terra smiled as she watched Beast Boy. She couldn't help it. It wasn't very often that she saw him like that, so she might as well stare as much as she can now. She shook her head a little, trying to get her soaked hair away from her eyes. "Yeah, Beast Boy," she joked along. "It was all part of my diabolical plan: Ruining your due." She laughed a little bit.
"I knew it!" Beast Boy joked along, laughing. He morphed into a dog and shook his hair off, re-soaking Terra before morphing back into his human form standing up and laughing down at her.
Terra turned her head and brought an arm up in a weak attempt to shield herself. She laughed again, looking up at him when he morphed human. "Thanks Beast Boy, just what I needed," she rolled her eyes in a joking way as she stood up too, more wet then before. She doubted they'd be let back in the tower like this. Her hands gripped her hair and she wrung the water out as much as possible. By the time she had finished doing the same with her shirt, and she the best she could with the sides of her shorts, her hair had managed to be dripping water again. She once again wrung it out as much possible.
Beast Boy watched Terra try to dry herself off in humor. His arms crossed at his chest and that cocky grin found its way back onto his face. "Robin's going to kill us if we track all this water in the tower." he laughed again though not real loud. It was caught between a chuckle and a laugh.
"Yeah, I know," Terra grinned in a wary way. "We're as good as dead if we do," she added, still pulling at her hair. When she did decide her hair was dry enough, water was again dripping from her shirt and shorts. She sighed in a 'this is hopeless' way.
Beast Boy stared at her, about to make a comment but didn't.
You like her; you think she's h-awt! You want to hug her- the little voice chanted, but Beast Boy ignored it... sorta, it did make him grin slightly.
"Problems?" Beast Boy laughed before walking out of the shallow water. His shoes made -SHOUSH SHOUSH SPLAT- noises from being half filled with water.
"Yeah," Terra laughed a little bit. She tried getting out as much water as possible, but she was still soaked. "I give up," she finally surrendered.
Beast Boy laughed once more, though again not a loud one. He shook his head to regain his spiky hair. (ah the magic of cartoons XDD) "So... did you wanna head home or get sick from standing around in wet clothes?" He joked, his voice didn't say he was joking around but his face did. That cute joking face with the cocked mouth and bright laughing eyes.
Terra once again looked at him, laughing at how cute his face was. "As much fun as I'm having, I don't wanna get sick," she informed him, her way of saying she wanted to head home and change clothes.
Beast Boy grinned the uncrossed his arms, making weak attempts to shake the water out from his sneakers. "So home it is! Need a lift or do you got it?" He asked Terra, turning to look at her.
"I got it, I guess," Terra smiled as she made one last attempt to wring water out of her hair. A second later the rock she'd used earlier was at her side. "What about you? Do you want a ride?" she asked.
Beast Boy looked at the rock a bit unsurely then back at Terra and grinned. "Sure, I trust you not to drop me into the lake... unless you do it on purpose..." he joked before scrambling on the piece of earth.
Terra jumped on with a small laugh. "I won't, I promise," she said before taking off towards the tower, not to fast, but not really slow either. Kind of just… medium speed. She wanted the ride to last a little bit, she liked being with Beast Boy.
Beast Boy sat on the rock with his legs dangling over the edge and a childish look painted on his face. His legs kicked back and forth as he talked, "This is fun, being able to fly without working." he joked.
Terra laughed a little. "Yeah, it is," she said, taking a seat next to him from her standing position. She had gotten a ride from Beast Boy earlier, not needing to work. Although, him flying was probably more tiring then her flying. She figured his arms might get tired after awhile.
Starfire walked down the hall with a brightly wrapped square present in her hands. Finally, something for Robin. It had taken some thinking but she had found something worth giving him.
Robin was back in the main room. He glanced around for some sign of Starfire, but he hadn't seen her in awhile. He sat down on the couch, staring at the TV, again flipping channels. All that had been on nearly all day was mushy valentines stuff, but he would look again.
Starfire walked into the main room with the gift behind her back. Trying to keep the blush from her face she walked up behind Robin. "Umm... Robin?" she said in a small voice.
Robin looked up as he heard the gentle voice of Starfire. He stood up and looked over at her. "Hey Star," he said with a small smile.
"Yes, greetings..." Starfire shifted her eyes around though a small smile planted on her face. "I have umm… prepared a gift for...you…" she looked down at her feet before holding out the present wrapped in shiny green wrapping paper out.
Robin looked down at the gift. "You didn't have to," he assured her before taking the gift. He had a warm smile on his face, though a slight blush as well. She kind of seemed nervous too… Robin looked down at the gift before unwrapping it.
"Oh I know, but I wished too. It would not seem right for you to get me such items and get nothing in return." Starfire stated with a larger smile. She looked down at the present as he unwrapped it, almost ready to jump up and down from excitement.
Robin pulled back the last layer of paper to find a book. He opened the front cover, and turned the first page to find pictures. A warm smile went up the Boy Wonder's face… it was a photo album. He realized he didn't have one. As he looked through the pages, he could remember almost everything. As he looked through the pictures of all the Titans, he found himself looking at ones of Starfire longer then the other Titans. He had skimmed the pages, he would look through more thoroughly later, he turned the last page. That page made him smile the most. It was a page that looked dedicated to himself and Starfire; the pictures were only of the two of them. His eyes scanned over every picture of her until he finally looked up at the real thing. "Thanks," he said with another smile. "I really like it." He liked it a lot… more then he knew how to say.
Starfire was again blushing lightly when Robin turned to the last page, she looked up from the book and at him, glad he liked it. "You are of the most welcome." she said sweetly. Her eyes scanned the living room, they were the only two in here, Cyborg must be working on something and Raven reading or meditating. With great courage and guts Starfire leaned over and kissed Robin gently on the cheek... though unluckily that is when Cyborg came in rubbing his hands on an old once red grease towel. He saw the scene and smirked from ear to ear.
Robin was so surprised at her actions -though that doesn't mean he wasn't happy- and he had not noticed Cyborg enter the room. His face had gone into a red blush and he looked dumbfounded as though his brain was trying to process what had just happened. He didn't know what to say, so he just didn't say anything, though he was grinning.
Starfire looked down at her feet with a grin and a blush painted on her face. She didn't regret the little kiss, but she was going to regret not making sure Cyborg wouldn't walk in. He didn't usually tease her about these things, but she knew the temptation would be all too hard for the half robot.
Beast Boy and Terra walked in, both pretty wet even from the ride and several attempts to dry off.
Cyborg glanced over at the younger couple; "I'm going to have a teasing field day! YO RAVEN!" Cyborg yelled before running to find his partner in teasing.
Terra sighed. "Oh goody," she said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes a little.
Robin moaned. Could he never get a single moment alone with Starfire and not be teased about it?
Raven had just been coming down from her room and was at the stairs. "What?" she asked Cyborg, unaware of what had just taken place.
"Well look Terra! Looks like we got here just in time to catch not only our own teasing but Robin's too!" Beast Boy laughed. He would live with the teasing as long as he got to see Robin get teased, that was always funny.
Starfire sighed in a slightly annoyed way. Alwell, her Valentines Day had gone fairly well. She looked up at her friends and smiled, even though the teasing would be starting soon and lasting for a long time.
Cyborg walked up to Raven in a hyper excited way. "Guess what! Starfire kissed Robin! AGAIN!" He started laughing. "Besides, I need someone to help me tease these guys" he jerked his thumb out at the four Titans.
And so it started, the long week, of teasing! Du du du DUH.
Yay! You made it to the end! And as a treat here is a mini fic!
Speedy walked into his room with a small package in his hands. A grin was on his face as he walked over to his desk, where sat his most favorite comb. "Hey Combie! Happy V-day! Got you something!" he opened the gift for the red comb to show a white pillow for the comb to sit on.
"Do you like it?" He asked the comb as if it was alive.
"I'm telling you...something is really wrong with him.." Aqua Lad said as the East Titans watched Speedy from a spy camera.
"I think I'm going to have to agree with you on that one..." Bumble Bee nodded with a slightly disgusted look on her face.
Mas Y Menos pointed to the screen and made 'he's crazy' faces at Speedy who was now petting his comb.
"Yo, pay up! You took the bet, and I won! He did get something for that stupid comb!" Bumble Bee laughed at remembering their bet.
"He loves his comb more then anything else I swear! Wanna make a bet?" Bumble Bee asked.
"Not even Speedy is that crazy! You're on!" Aqua Lad had agreed.
Aqua Lad made whining noises before fishing out the dollar and placing it in Bumble Bee's hand.
Okay, this is the end of the Vday fan fic! We (Greaser and I) both hope you enjoyed it!
