Authors note: so I recently watched "Things Change" again. This will do one of two things: send me into a depression that requires a lot of eating or inspire me. I guess it did the latter, thankfully. I so do not own the Teen Titans, DC, Cartoon Network or whatever brand names I happen to mention in this story. Hiatus over, enjoy.
Chapter 6
(Terra's POV)
Breakfast with the team was an adventure to say the least. Between the constant questions from Starfire since she missed what had happened and the snide remarks from Cyborg, I was ready to go back to bed and call it a day by 10 am. Beast boy sat next to me and was red in the face through all of breakfast which he actually woke up for. He probably did so I didn't need to face this on my own. 'How sweet.' I thought to myself.
Soon enough, Starfire had been included on what was going on. She was now questions our "intentions" to each other. I spent most of the time with my head down staring at my plate of waffles and bacon, only speaking up every so often to defend myself and Beast Boy.
"All I'm saying is, why not just take those two steps into his room so the door would close and save you the embarrassment?" Cyborg said.
"You've said that three times now." I replied while putting my dishes into the sink. I looked to Raven who was also finished with breakfast. "Can we just go get started on my control issues?"
She nodded to me and we headed up to the roof. It was a silent walk up. She was the only one who hadn't commented on my public display last night and had been jabbing Robin in the side whenever he spoke about it. I briefly wondered what was going on between the two birds but I figured I'd know soon enough because there are no secrets in Titans' Tower.
"I know your concentration may be lacking today because of Cyborg's antics but I really need you to try to control yourself." Raven told me as we sat down on the roof.
"Why are you being so nice to me about this?" My curiosity was getting the best of me.
"Because Robin and I were caught by Cyborg also when we first started dating a few months ago. He seemed to have forgotten how annoying it is to have someone air all your personal life out to other people. I would've rathered to not have gone through it so I don't see the point in teasing you two.
I nodded and closed my eyes. I allowed the calming sound of the waves wash over me and I let my mind relax. Getting myself to relax after that breakfast took some time and even more effort. I wish I could not be affected by all of this but I was. I bet Raven and Robin had been calm when they had gotten caught, I wanted to ask but I knew better. We still were rocky and it would take a long time for us to be friends again.
(Beast Boy's POV)
I got up for this shit?
Cyborg wouldn't shut up about it. I was slightly missing the bacon vs. no bacon debate and the waffles vs. tofu waffles argument that we normally had every morning.
Terra had left with Raven when she had finally had enough. She hadn't looked at me all breakfast. I figured she was just embarrassed and she didn't want to talk to anyone right now. I'll try talking to her later.
"Dude, but really, I like teasing you and all but I hope you know I am happy for you. You finally got the girl of your dreams after years of waiting. If there's anyone who deserves her, it's you. Don't worry, everyone gets this treatment, Robin and Raven sure did a few months ago." Cyborg told me in a more serious voice.
"Wait, you got teased and now your teasing me and Terra? Wouldn't you feel bad for us and not want us to be teased so you won't tease us?" I glared at Robin. At least this explains why Raven had been silent all breakfast.
"I am just paying it forward." Robin answered in-between bites of waffles.
I shook my head and left the room. I figured I could go play video games in my room or something until Terra was done with Raven and her meditation.
It's going to be a long day.
(Terra's POV)
After meditating with Raven longer than we had scheduled, I felt better. Yeah, I didn't like sitting still but I knew I had to. Then we trained and I started to feel worse. Everybody was so strong and fast and I was like "I've sat around and had a lot of ice cream." Plus everyone else had control of their abilities and I was like "I moved a pebble across the room." After that disaster I just wanted to take a hot shower but I ended up getting first shower in the low water pressure shower. At least it was hot.
Nothing was going my way today.
About an hour after I had gotten out of the shower I heard a knock on my door. I opened it to find Beast Boy.
"Hey." Fuck, I'm so lame.
"Hey. How you doing?"
"I'm hanging in there. Wanna come in?" I stepped to the side and allowed him in. "Training was awful."
"You didn't do that bad. You're just out of practice. It's not a big deal." He put his hand over mine and we sat on my bed. "So about last night."
"I'm sorry about that. I just thought you liked me and that I was stupid for kissing your cheek when you left my room so I wanted to go make up for it. I didn't plan on making out in the middle of the fucking corridor and Cyborg being a prick. I just really wanted to…" He cut my rant off with a kiss. It was a kiss a readily responded to. His mouth was warm against mine. His arms encircled my waist and held me close. My hands went around his neck and deepened the kiss. He traced my lips with his tongue. I greatly accepted it into my mouth with a soft moan. His hands gripped my sides at this and he reluctantly pulled away from me.
"So you do like me then?" I asked stupidly. I meant to say that in my head.
"Obviously. Don't worry about Cyborg. I can handle teasing." He kissed my fingertips. "Wanna go out for dinner?"
I nodded. We left a note for the others on the counter and said we'd be back by 8 or 9 at the latest so Robin didn't have a conniption fit.
We went into the city and ate at an Italian place in the center of town. It was the first time I had ever seen him eat something besides tofu, tofu waffles, or pizza. It was strange. After dinner we went to a movie and laughed at the bad acting. We had decided to see the worst rated movie in the theater. It was some zombie thing. I couldn't remember the name of it, I just knew that I had fun when I was with him.
