Warning, I do not own the Titans or any other DC characters I may use.
The morning had yet to begin, 4:45am, and Beast Boy is awoken by a loud buzzing from his cell phone, he groans, but quickly looks over and glances at whatever could be bothering him this early in the morning.
Hey you up? I need someone to talk to. It takes Beast Boy a second to figure out who the text message is from and he finally knows what to say.
Yeah just come on up, I'll be here. Beast Boy hits send, and a few minutes later, he hears footsteps, and a knock on the door.
"Come in" Beast Boy says softly, just loud enough to be heard, but not to wake everyone else.
The door opens slowly, Beast Boy looks up and smiles, it's Terra.
"Hey, are you okay dude? What did you want to talk about?" Beast Boy says, sitting on the edge of his bed, Terra then comes down and sits next to him, she looks visibly upset.
"I'm just have these nightmares again, about what happened... with you guys, with Slade, forgetting who I was... who I am... it's just a lot. I'm scared that I'm going to lose everything, you Beast Boy, the Titans, everything". Terra covers her face with her hands, tears slowly drip between her fingers, and she begins to cry softly.
Beast Boy can see that she's upset, he puts his hand on her back to try to comfort her, then he slides over to give her a kiss on the cheek. He then tries to think of something to say, but it's difficult, he was always worried that something like this would happen, he really did. He cared about her, maybe more than anything. But it was hard, she had been through a lot, and some of it had been traumatic, he was worried about saying the wrong thing, he tended to that something when trying to make light of the matter, but this wasn't one of those times, and he knew it. So, he said the only thing he could think of.
"Terra, I'm sorry. I understand what you're going through, it's scary, I know, I was there. But I was there. I helped you get through it. I promise, that nothing bad is going to happen to you, or me, or any of the other Titans, okay? It's going to be fine. We're going to be fine, trust me. I care really. Terra... I love you".
Beast Boy was sort of in shock after he closed his mouth, it was the first time he told her he loved her. He wasn't sure if it was the right time, or the right thing to say in that moment, but that's what he felt, what he wanted to say. He did love her, he loved her more than anything or anyone. She was the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with, all the struggles they have had, the silly fights, getting her to believe that she was really Terra, when she forgot who she was.
Terra, who clearly heard what she thought she had heard, moved her hands out of her face, she sniffled, and wiped the tears out of her eyes, make up from the night before was everywhere. She coughed, then laughed, and kissed Beast Boy. She then moved her lips away from his to tell him how she felt as well.
"Thanks, Beast Boy, that made me feel a lot better, I love you too." Terra knew deep down that she did as well, he was always the one who knew how to make her feel better, yeah, he was a little childish at times, and sometimes didn't take things as serious as he should, but what teenage boy does. She knew he really cared about him and that's what mattered to her, she also just wanted to be with him. She felt like in this moment, that everything was going to be okay, and that her nightmares just seemed to fade away.
Terra then wrapped her arms around Beast Boy and embraced him. She felt the warmth that radiated from him, he gave off a ton of heat, and it always felt so good, especially late at night or early in the morning. She was usually cold, so it helped a lot. She looked back up at him and smiles, feeling better, but still a little nervous.
"Hey, can I just stay in here tonight? I know we don't have to get up early or anything, but I don't think I can go back in my room alone, I'm just going to overthink things again, and worry myself..." Terra sighed, Beast Boy then brushed his hand against her hair.
"Of course, you can, I always enjoy your company" Beast Boy says, reassuring Terra that she was always welcome in his life, so of course she was welcome to stay in his room. Her scent always made him feel at ease, and lately with Nightwing being Nightwing, and all the new Titans interrupting his daily routine, Beast Boy had been on edge. So, having Terra around, helped him keep his sanity, he loved this physical connection of their relationship, but it was so much more than that, she was there for his emotional needs above all. He could talk to her about literally anything, his day, if he had a stomach ache, if he was feeling sad, if Cyborg was being mean to him or just whatever. Usually she would just laugh, and tell him to grow thicker skin, which would then involve a complaining Beast Boy morphing into a rhinoceros of some sort. But she meant well, and they were good together, they completed one another.
They were also good about keeping the more intimate parts of their relationship away from the rest of the team. They didn't want to make the rest of the Titans feel uncomfortable with PDA or anything. After all, the last thing Beast Boy wanted was more teasing from Cyborg, the amount he did was more than enough.
So, Beast Boy and Terra laid in their bed, half asleep, talking about anything that ran through their minds, silly things, serious stuff like her nightmares, thoughts about just leaving the team altogether and getting married, they weren't serious about that, but they always joked about what Nightwing would say if they did ever bring that up to the other Titans.
So, it was getting closer to dawn, and finally the two of them had drifted off to sleep. They knew they could just sleep in today unless, an emergency happened, so Beast Boy decided to turn off both their cell phones before they went to bed.
Do Not Disturb... I mean it! Beast Boy thought to himself when flipping off the sound, the best sound in the world. He was going to doze off and wake up in the middle of the day. The best feeling ever, so Beast Boy then closed his eyes with his arms around Terra and finally drifted off to dreamland.
A/N Chapter Finished! I decided to update on the Beast Boy/Terra relationship because it seemed to be a while. Let me know what you guys think! As always, read and review! :D
