AN: I've never owned the Teen Titans, so why would I now? Quite asking!
Chapter 2
Beast Boy decided to find Terra and have a talk with her. He knew that she should be in a good mood since she just ate. He found her in her room brushing her long, beautiful blond hair. She really was a pretty girl.
"Hey BB," she said with a smile as she set her brush down on her dresser. "What's up?"
"Oh, nothing," he lied. "Uh… can we talk?"
"Sure," she said with a smile and patted her bed so he would come and sit down. He took a big breath in and sat down next to her. "What do you wanna talk about?"
"Okay, I'm not sure how to get into this or anything," he said nervously. "But here it goes. Uh, Terra, lately I've felt like we're not close. Like there's something missing."
"What are you talking about?" she asked with a confused smile.
"Oh boy," he said to himself. "Um, well, I feel like we don't have anything between us anymore. That there's no spark."
"No spark?" she asked. "I feel a spark. I love you!"
"I know," he sighed. "And, trust me, I've tried to get the spark back in our relationship, but nothing's seemed to work."
"So… you're bored with me?" she asked, hurt.
"Well, no," he said trying to think. "Well… kinda. But I want to see if we can try anything else."
"Or what? You'll break up with me?" she asked nervously.
"Terra, I don't want to be with you if you're the only one putting anything into this relationship," he said, remembering Ravens words. "It's unfair to you."
Terra was shocked and she tried to process all of this. "So… how long have you felt this way?" she asked hesitantly.
"A while now," said Beast Boy.
"A while? How long is a while?" she asked.
"Does it matter?" he asked.
"Yes, it matters," she said, starting to feel anger welling up inside of her.
"A long time," said Beast Boy. "For the past year, at least." He wasn't about to tell her that he had lost interest six months into their three year relationship.
Terra was shocked. "Why didn't you tell me this earlier?" she asked demanded.
"I thought I was just going through a slump or something," said Beast Boy. "But I can't go on like this anymore. Something needs to change."
"No, you need to change!" she said, standing up angrily. "I'm just fine with our relationship. I'm happy. You just don't realize how good you have it!"
"Terra, I need to be happy too!" he said standing up. "And things aren't obviously as good as you think they are if I'm not."
"I can't believe this," she said with tears in her eyes. "Get out!"
"Terra, I didn't come here to fight, I came here to work things out, if they even can be worked out," he said firmly.
"Well I don't want to talk to you," she said with tears running down her cheeks. "You have to realize that this is as good as it gets. You have a beautiful woman who loves you, what more could you possibly want? I have everything I want, so don't ruin it!"
"Terra, this isn't about you!" he said angrily. "And that's the problem. No matter what, everything always has to be about you, what you want, what you feel. Well, I'm sorry, but this is about me, about my life."
"I am your life, Beast Boy!" she screamed.
Beast Boy looked at her for a few seconds and sighed, shaking his head. "Then… I guess my life is over."
Terra stared at him and said, "What… what do you mean?"
"I'm sorry, Terra," he said sadly. "But we're… we're done." And with that he left her alone in her room.
She stood there for a few minutes, silent and stunned. She then fell to the floor and wept. A half an hour ago everything had been fine. She was happy and in love with a great guy. Now she was alone and heartbroken. No. She couldn't just let it end here. She would never be able to love anyone else.
Beast Boy felt horrible. He had genuinely wanted to work things out with her, but she just wasn't getting it. She really didn't care about how he was feeling. He felt very low, so he decided to go to his room. He wasn't sure what he was going to do now.
Raven walked down the hall quietly, as she usually did. As she passed Terra's room she heard crying and she had a funny feeling she knew why. She sighed and decided to see how Beast Boy was doing. Knowing her luck, he would blame her for ruining their relationship. Oh yeah, that's all she needed. For Terra to hate her again.
She stopped at his door and knocked. At first she heard nothing, and then there came a rustling of clothes as he kicked them out of his way. The door opened and there he stood, looking tired and sad.
"Hi Raven," he said with a sad smile.
"It didn't go well with Terra, I take it?" she asked, a little hint of concern in her voice.
"No," he sighed. "I really tried, too. But she just isn't interested in changing anything. So… I broke up with her."
"Oh," she said. "Well… I'm sorry things didn't work out. If you need to talk again you can come to me, as long as it's a mature conversation you want to have."
"Thanks, Raven," said Beast Boy, smiling slightly.
She nodded and then headed off to the common room. She was sad that Beast Boy and Terra didn't work out, but she knew their relationship was doomed from the start. She only hoped he didn't mention to her that she had given him advice. She dreaded the next few weeks. She knew Terra would be despondent and Beast Boy would feel horrible that he had to break up with her.
"Well, I'll be back in a few days," said Cyborg. He was going to visit the Titans East. They were having some technological problems and since Cyborg designed the place he was the only one who knew how to fix it. "Don't burn the place down."
"Would you just go already," said Robin. "You've been saying good bye for ten minutes. We're not going to ruin the tower."
"Okay, I'll see you then," and with that he went down to the garage.
"Good bye!" said Starfire waving with a smile. She turned and saw Raven entering. "Raven! I am so glad to see you. I was hoping you would come with me to the mall of shopping."
"Sorry Starfire, I'm just not in the mood," said Raven. "Why don't you ask Terra? I think she's a little upset and might want to get out of the tower for a while."
"Why's she upset?" asked Robin.
"I'm not at liberty to say," she said going to sit down on the couch. "It's her and Beast Boy's business."
"I shall see if she is in need of the comforting," said Starfire, who then flew off. A few minutes later she returned with Terra, who was… fine? "Raven, why did you say that Terra was upset?"
"Uh…" Raven tried to think. "I heard crying coming from your room so I just assumed…"
"No, I'm fine," said Terra with a smile.
"Oh, well, I'm sorry I misunderstood," said Raven.
"Are you sure you do not wish to accompany us to the mall of shopping?" asked Starfire again.
"Yes, I'm sure," said Raven plainly. "You two enjoy yourselves."
The two girls smiled and left. Raven was very confused and she decided to go talk to Beast Boy. This left Robin all alone in the common room. He was confused as well. He wondered how it was possible for him to be out of the loop when he was the leader of the team.
Raven headed down the hall to Beast Boy's room, but saw him walking towards her. He still looked a little sad, but nothing that he couldn't get over.
"Hey Raven," he said with a small smile.
"Hi," said Raven. "I wanted to talk to you for a second."
"Sure," he said stopping so the two could talk.
"How did Terra take you breaking up with her?" asked Raven.
Beast Boy stared at her for a second and the asked, "Why?"
"Because she and Starfire just headed off to the mall and she seemed… happy," said Raven. "Are you sure she knows that you've broken up?"
"I said that we were done," said Beast Boy. "When I left, she was crying. Are you sure she was happy?"
"She was smiling and she seemed fine to me," said Raven. Now it was Beast Boy's turn to feel confused. Raven could tell by the look on his face that something wasn't right. "Do you want to talk?"
She couldn't believe what she had offered, but the guy looked like he needed it. They decided to go to one of her favorite cafés to talk. He had skipped lunch and was starving now.
"I just don't understand," said Beast Boy as he took a bite of his salad. "She was mad and crying. Why would she be happy all of a sudden?"
"I don't know, Beast Boy," said Raven as she sipped her tea. "How do you feel about actually breaking up with her?"
"Actually, I feel like this great weight has been lifted off of me," he said with a small smile. "I mean, I'm sad that nothing could be done to save our relationship, but I'm relieved that it's finally over."
"Well, maybe she's just in denial," said Raven thinking.
"I don't know," said Beast Boy. "Are you sure she was smiling?"
"Beast Boy, I'm not blind," said Raven sighing. "She and Starfire were smiling and practically skipped out of the tower to the mall." Beast Boy sighed as well and took another bite of his salad. Raven could sense that he was still feeling confused. "Are you okay?"
"I don't know," said Beast Boy, putting his fork down. "What am I gonna do now? I mean, I've been focused on breaking it off with Terra for so long that I didn't think about what I would do once the deed was done."
"Well, now you can focus on finding that spark you've been looking for with someone new," said Raven.
"Like that will ever happen," Beast Boy grumbled. "I'll never find another girl who'll like me."
"Now why would you say that?" asked Raven as she stirred her tea a little more.
"Come on, Raven, look at me," said Beast Boy. "I'm green! Not many girls are attracted to guys with green skin."
"Beast Boy, if you want a long lasting relationship with a girl, she should see past your green exterior from the start," said Raven. "Who you are on the inside is more important than who you are on the outside. Besides, you're a great looking guy. You have nothing to worry about."
"You think I'm good looking?" he asked, his ears perking up.
"Of course I do," she said matter-of-factly.
Beast Boy couldn't believe how she had said it; like it was common knowledge or something. And if Raven said it, it had to be true. He began to feel a little better and attacked his salad once more.
"Thanks for talking to me about this," said Beast Boy with a smile.
"No problem," she said sipping her tea.
"It's nice to know that I have someone to talk to," he said. "I know that I don't seem like someone who thinks about stuff or anything, but I do."
"I always knew there was an intellectual under the mediocre comedian," said Raven, a slight smirk on her face.
"Yeah right," he chuckled.
"Yeah, you're right," she said plainly. "This is the first time I've seen any part of you that's intellectual like."
Beast Boy laughed again and finished up the rest of his salad. "You know, if you practiced you could be the funny one on the team."
"No thanks," said Raven. "You've already disgraced that profession."
There was a playfulness in her voice and Beast Boy chuckled again. "How can you think so fast?"
"Actually, I think at a normal pace," said Raven. "You're the one who's a step behind."
"No, I think normally," said Beast Boy. "You're brain is working faster than normal."
"Yeah, you're right," said Raven.
"Wow, I've been right with you twice in one day," said Beast Boy with a smile. "This is definitely a record for me."
"Don't get cocky," said Raven. He smiled and turned into a rooster for a second. "Cute," she said sarcastically. He turned back and smiled at her.
