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 7

(Beast Boy's POV)

Going to the movies with Terra had me transported back in time two years ago when I first met her. It was just like the old times before all the drama went down, before Slade reared his ugly head, and way before the stoning and memory loss. My night with her just reaffirmed my belief that she was everything I could ever want. She was smart and funny and beautiful and strong. She was perfect.

The morning after our date we were greeted by the same teasing and taunting but this time we joined in on the teasing and started to make fun of ourselves. This quickly annoyed Cyborg so he gave up making fun of us since it lost it's fun. Robin and Raven quietly giggled at his exasperation. Starfire merely sat there pouring mustard on her waffles before devouring them. It was like harmony had been restored to the tower.

We went through the daily routine; meditation for Terra, training, eating, and of course battling for the one good shower. It was 7 when we were all clean and dinner had been served and Terra and I sat in front of the T.V. with a video game controller in each of our hands.

"Go go go go go, no!" I screamed when she beat me in the racing game for the 5th time that evening.

"Wooo, yes!" I looked over and saw her dancing around with her hands in the air. I loved this side of her. The fun, care- free girl that I fell in love with in the first place. Unfortunately, we've both grown up since then; we had responsibilities as well as fun times and sometimes those responsibilities got in the way.

I figured we could handle those responsibilities together.

*Two weeks later*

(Terra's Birthday)

On the day of my birthday I knew one thing, I didn't want to go to school today. So I woke up, got dressed for school like everything was normal and then quickly put on my make-up. Then I shined a flashlight onto my forehead in an attempt to make it heat up. I then practiced my sick face and fake cough in the mirror. I left my room with my backpack. When I got down to the living room, I initiated my plan. I hunched over, put on my sick face, and wrapped an arm around my stomach.

"Hey guys." I said as I entered the room.

"Happy day of birth, Terra." Starfire came over to me and gave me a bone crushing hug.

"Thanks Star." When she released me I went back to my sick state.

"Terra, stop faking sick, I know you don't want to go to school on your birthday." Robin told me without even looking up from his coffee and waffles. "Go change into sweats, you don't have to go."

"How did you… fuck it, I don't care. No school!" I ran up to my room and changed back into my sweat pants and a white tee. After I changed, I heard a knock at the door. "Come in!"

"Hey, Terra, I wanted to be the first to say happy birthday to you before you go to school. Wait, why aren't you dressed for school?" Beast boy came into my room and hugged me and kissed my forehead.

"Well a. Starfire already said happy birthday to me and b. I faked sick and Robin caught me and told me that I didn't have to go to school today. But I think I still have to train with you guys later, Robin doesn't do birthdays that well."

"Dammit. Oh well, at least we get all day today."

I sat down next to him and took his hand in mine. "Wanna go get breakfast and then watch movies in my bed all day?"

"Of course."

Half an hour later we were watching "The happening" in my bed.

"This is so awful." I whispered to him.

"I know."

He leaned over me and kissed me. Our kisses were less tame then they normally were. He kissed my face and down my jawline then down my neck. His hands pulled my waist so I was even closer to him. One arm held me close against his body while his other hand roomed over my entire body. He stayed on my chest for a few minutes, playing with my breasts and teasing my nipples. My brain had completely shut off. There was a weird knot in my stomach. Part of me thought I should stop him before things got out of hand but then the other part of me wanted to continue this to see what would happen.

"Can I do something?" He whispered in my ear.

I nodded. My hands were shaking as I ran them through his hair and down his back, raking my nails across his skin as I went.

He laid me down on my back and ran his hands across my body. My breath caught in my throat as he reached my hips and continued lower. I wiggled my hips as his hand went through the waist band of my sweat pants and my panties. My hands tangled themselves in the sheets as he touched me and brought me closer and closer to something truly spectacular.

"Where on Earth did you learn to do that?" I rasped out when he finished.

"Just something I've picked up in my life."

"Well, happy birthday to me."
