Hey guy's I just wanted to let you know I'm still alive and such... I'm sorry for the disappearance; as I stated in my other story I had a bad break up and I just... didn't have the urge to do anything I loved anymore. I lost myself, I went to counseling and even the doctor. I lost over twenty pounds in three months and I'm 115 I think now. But the good news is I am doing better :) I found out how much of a jerk my last guy was; he threw away my childhood stuffed dog I got when I was ten years old. I will never see it again but I hope someone out there, whoever it is; is taking care of him...
Anyway, here is Puppy Love 6; it's a little short because I had planned on making this one giant scene, but I was having such a hard time coming up with a concept to draw the middle of the story together and I decided not to wait anymore.
Puppy Love 6
"Meow meow meow…"
The world was dark and hazy as Beast Boy felt his thoughts slowly piece back together from deep inside. His dreams slowly slipped away he felt his breath lengthen and his senses back on track.
"Meow Meow Meow…"
What…what is going on…why am I hearing cats?
"Meow Meow Meow…"
Beast Boy groaned and opened his eyes, a shaft of light greeting him in his face. Squinting he looked to his right where the loud sound vibrated in his ears and rang in his skull. Reaching with his left arm Beast Boy pinched the side of the Hello Kitty watch and sighed; flipping over and closing his eyes, letting the sun beat off his eyelids.
Stretching his left hand to pet Elsa where she was the night before, there was a faint surprise when it hit only pillow. Sinking his hand in the soft fabric, panic suddenly rose in his throat and Beast Boy sat up, eyes snapping open; only just now realizing he was in Raven's room.
"Oh right, duh…I knew that."
He looked around the room noticing someone else was missing, staring at the empty bed he wondered where she must have went off to. He knew she was more of an early riser so she must have left without bothering him. Glancing at the watch he noted it was 9:30am and quickly stood up, throwing the blanket on the floor and ruffling his hair before starting forward; quickly grabbing one of his spare shirts crumpled on the floor and throwing it over his head in one quick sweep.
Suddenly a thought dawned on him.
What if Raven took…No…she wouldn't….
Anger spiked with his panic as he jumped forward and grabbed the door handle, yanking it open with a force. He took not even two steps in the hall before something threw him off balance, sending him toppling against the wall behind him.
There was a loud bark and Beast Boy's anger dissipated faster than letting out an airtight balloon. Looking down he saw little Elsa eagerly standing in front of him and with a shake of her fur he suddenly felt wet, very fast.
"Elsa! You're all wet!" He cried out, shielding his eyes from the water spraying in his direction.
There was another shadow, just seconds after the incident, racing toward him in haste as he bent down to pick Elsa up and to hopefully find a towel nearby.
Looking up he felt the water soak in his shirt. Bubble suds covered the top layer of Elsa's ears and he rubbed her head, feeling the soapy water run across his glove and drip to the floor. There were footsteps, first quick then slow, and the shadow suddenly covered the duo. Beast Boy looked up to find his teammate, hood down and arms crossed; she too was wet. Her cape bore darker spots at her torso, suds covering her shoes.
Beast Boy held his laughter, seeing the unamused look on her face, and before she could get a word in he piped up, "A bath? Which one got the bath, I'm a little confused."
Raven smirked, "Hilarious, I just thought it would be nice to not smell burned fur and wet dog in the morning." She paused, "but I can't really control the wet dog smell since that didn't come from Elsa."
Beast Boy huffed, "hey, I don't smell like…." He paused smelling the air for a moment then took back the comment, "never mind, maybe a shower is a good idea."
"You think?"
Beast Boy shrugged and lifted his limbs for Elsa to shift positions as she wiggled in his arms, laying her head on his right arm.
There was a pause, the two titans standing there, an awkward silence filled the air and Beast Boy rubbed his arms and looked around for a moment.
"You're kind of standing in my way…" Raven stated suddenly and Beast Boy looked around then she continued, "My room…" He looked up and smiled apologetically, "Oh, yeah, sorry." He quickly moved to the side, away from the door frame and shifted Elsa in his arms again as Raven began walking by. Looking down at his feet he felt a moment of relief pass through his bones and he stole a glance toward Raven as she passed him by.
"You know… for a moment there… I thought you took her back…" He stated quietly.
Raven paused and glanced his way, halfway in her room; her expression unreadable and replied quietly, "I may be dark and scary sometimes…but it doesn't mean I don't have a heart."
Beast Boy blinked; taken off guard, suddenly feeling bad for assuming the worst of her and watched Raven slowly shut the door, her figure disappearing from sight. Elsa nipped at his ears and Beast Boy pulled back in surprise, "Hey! What was that for?" He glanced at the blue eyes that stared at him and he narrowed his eyes in return playfully, "I didn't mean it; shesh, I'm not the bad guy around here." Elsa wagged her tail and barked; Beast Boy sighed and began walking forward toward the bathroom.
Opening the door he set the pup down and closed the door behind him. He noted the wet floors surrounding the tub and the skid marks of where Raven may have slid to catch Elsa from escaping. He laughed quietly, picturing her trying to give the hyped up puppy a bath.
You know, I never expected Raven to do anything like that before… that was… nice. Does she even do nice?
Beast Boy shook his head and put the thought behind him. Stripping off his clothes he jumped in the shower; nearby he heard little Elsa climb on the sink, her claws scraping on the marbled surface as he turned on the water. After a few minutes he shut the water off and grabbed his towel, stepping out he felt a wave of surprise hit him and he let out a gasp. Rolls of toilet paper were scattered all across the floor and in the middle lay little Elsa, sitting down, tail wagging and covered in toilet paper, head to toe.
"Aw man, Robin is going to kill me."
Elsa barked, stood up and raced toward him; wads of toilet paper were dragging behind her she leaped up in his arms. Beast Boy quickly reached to grab her, almost losing his towel in the process; toilet paper scattering across the bathtub and around his exposed body. Letting her weight crash against his chest he began to lose his balance. Skidding on the wet floor his feet flew from under him and he quickly reached out, grabbing the closest thing he could. It was a small shelf, solely used for the purpose of Starfire's morning beauty routine. But his weight deemed to be too much and the shelf cracked under his arm, sending him crashing to the floor, Starfire's hair supplies and makeup falling and caking his body. Orange powder coated his hair and he coughed, seeing the powder fly in every direction. Rubbing his eyes he grabbed the shower curtain and pulled himself up, only to rip out the curtain as well, toppling to the floor again with a yell. There were scampering's of little paws as Elsa managed to dodge the falling curtain, racing toward the closed door, dragging toilet paper with her and sat down a little ways away, watching Beast Boy sit there just taking it all in. Then there was a voice from the other side and Beast Boy snapped out of his slump.
"Friend… is everything good? I don't mean to invade your privacy… but if you need assistance…"
Beast Boy threw off the curtain and shook his head hearing his female teammate knock on the door, "Yeah!" He let out a cough and tightened his grip on the towel that wrapped around his waist, "Don't come in here Star, I'm ok!"
There was a pause then a reply, "Ok, I was just worried, I will leave now."
Beast Boy heard her footsteps grow fainter and Elsa let off a bark, his eyes traveled toward her and he inwardly let out a groan. White and orange powder coated her back and she wagged her tail with excitement, toilet paper dragging back and forth with each wag.
"What are you so happy about?"
The pup wiggled with excitement and bent down, chewing on a strand of toilet paper like a toy. Slowly standing up, Beast Boy wiped off the makeup that coated his body with another towel and rubbed it against his hair. Stepping forward toward Elsa he felt himself step in something squishy and looked down to see something green covering his feet. It moved.
Beast boy let out a yell, kicking up his feet and watched the slime hit the wall and crawl toward the covered window. He stared at it for a moment, backing up with uncertainty, and watched two pair of white eyes appear, and suddenly let off a loud, territorial hiss. Startled, Beast Boy quickly turned toward the sink where his clothes lay and threw them on without much thought; sliding on his socks, pants and shirt with speed that could compete with Kid Flash. Elsa sat nearby with an amused expression and while she was distracted he quickly picked her up, Elsa in one arm and his shoes in the other he quickly opened the door and shut it, leaning against the frame with tensed muscles. He put Elsa back down on the floor, strands of toilet paper covering her torso and quickly slipped on his shoes in the hall.
There was movement nearby and Beast Boy looked up noticing Cyborg standing behind him, having watched Beast Boy speed out of the bathroom as if demons were chasing him.
"Everything ok little man? You seem a bit out of place this morning."
It looked like Cyborg was about to continue but instead fell silent with a small, amused smile. Beast Boy shook his head and replied, cutting one hand through the air, "I'm so done with today, if you need me, I'll be outside taking a nap… I need to start the day over again."
With that he turned away and headed for the main doors, he glanced behind him seeing that his best friend had taken a different path elsewhere; perhaps to the training room or storage. Looking down he saw Elsa walking beside him, still dragging that toilet paper behind her like a train. Beast Boy shook his head with amusement and was about to bend down and take it off when he heard a voice. He paused where he stood and flicked his ears to catch the conversation.
It was no doubt he could hear the soft voice of Raven on the other side of the wall and walking closer he glanced up to see the door nearby that outlined the name: Robin.
"I just think we should give it a chance… Perhaps we're wrong."
Beast Boy glanced down at Elsa who sat at his feet, tail wagging with excitement. He put a finger to his lips in hope she would stay silent, the little dog tilted her head but didn't voice her opinion on the matter. Then he heard the more direct voice of his leader, vibrating on the other side of the wall.
"If he really wants a pet, he can go to the shelter and get a stray for all I care. But this is someone's dog, we have to do the right thing; I don't want the media getting a hold of this. I can see the newspaper headlines: Teen titans steals puppy from child."
"So this is just a publicity outlook to you?"
"No, this is just for the best of the team; she doesn't belong. "
There was suddenly a pause in the air, Beast Boy felt a prick of annoyance and felt his fist tighten outside the door.
That was a poor excuse. If she doesn't belong, then why do I?
It seemed as though the words had an effect on Raven, but Beast Boy couldn't tell since he wasn't nearby to read her expressions and body language. Perhaps she was going to say something, and decided against it, but the opportunity came and went as the boy wonders voice piped up again, filling the stagnant silence.
"Look, I think it's really nice of you to take the time to stand up for Beast Boy like this, honestly I didn't see this day coming. You two don't exactly get along all the time." There was another short pause, "I understand the attachment between him and the dog, but you out of all people know that emotions should not get in the way of doing your job."
There was another short silence and a soft reply from Raven in return.
"Yes, I understand and you are right…I…" But Robin cut her off mid-sentence.
"I am trusting you to do the right thing Raven, can I count on you?"
There was a quiet shuffle of feet and then a short "yes" in return.
Beast Boy's eyes widened, hearing the footsteps near the door. Spotting a closet nearby he quickly opened it and shoved Elsa inside. The pup let out a yelp of surprise as she slid into spare blankets and pillows covering the floor and quickly and quietly as best he could, closed the door. In return Beast Boy shifted into a fly and flew away, hearing the door handle to Robin's quarters turn and the door open. After turning down the corner he transformed back to his normal self and raced back down the hall where he was, looking back and forth with "unamused" fake expressions.
Both Raven and Robin had exited the room at the time and they both glanced at him with mild interest. But to look like as though he wasn't snooping by his leader's door he came up with the only plan he could think of and yelled out with fake annoyance.
"Elsa, come out, come out wherever you are!"
"You lost her…" Came the voice of Raven, standing with a slightly amused expression next to their leader who also bore an amused smile but didn't voice his opinion.
Beast Boy let off a fake smile and shrugged his shoulders, "Just playing a little bit of hide and seek this morning; you know… start the day off right and all that good junk."
Robin raised his eyebrows but didn't question anything, just spared a glance toward Raven before turning around and walking toward the lobby doors without a word, shaking his head.
Turning toward the closet door Beast Boy heard a quiet yip on the other side before opening it and revealing little Elsa, who jumped up in excitement and raced toward him. The toilet paper was still dragging behind her, and a bit of makeup smeared on her sides from the catastrophe in the bathroom.
"And I suppose she just opened the door herself and sat here in the dark waiting for you." Raven stated, watching Elsa sit in front of Beast Boy, looking up with bright blue eyes.
"Oh yeah, she's quite the talented dog, you should see her other tricks, this is nothing compared to them." He boosted with fake confidence.
Raven stared at him and a couple seconds passed by before she spoke up quietly again; "Stop lying, I know you were listening."
Beast Boy paused in his act and lowered his eyes, knowing he was caught red handed. Rubbing the side of his arm he felt Elsa stretch on her hind legs, reaching toward him, begging to be picked up.
"How do you know that?"
"For one… that was a terrible lie, I could have thought of a better one; and for another I can sense people remember? I knew you were there the whole time."
There was a shocked silence as Beast Boy let out a quiet, "oh." It then dawned on him that not only did she allow him to hear her conversation with Robin, but she didn't tell him of his snooping. That was odd, even for Raven.
Looking down Raven let out a sigh, noticing Elsa's appearance, "Why do I even bother?"
Beast Boy glanced up then down toward Elsa and picked her up with an embarrassed sweep of his hands, grabbing the toilet paper and tossing it to the side. Using his sleeve he rubbed down her fur and the make up soon disappeared.
"What did you do, have a party in the bathroom?"
Beast Boy smirked, "Yeah, something like that. Though if Starfire asks, tell her Silkie got in the bathroom this morning and trashed the place, it's a mess don't go in there." He replied sheepishly.
There was a short pause and she shook her head, "I don't want to know." She was about to turn toward the lobby doors when she stopped and looked back at him, "I don't think the bathroom was the only mess this morning…"
Beast Boy tilted his head in confusion and she continued, "Your shirt is backwards and your pants are inside out."
Beast Boy blinked then glanced at her before looking down at his own apparel. Elsa wiggled in his arms and barked with agreeance. He glared at Elsa with joking eyes, "Why didn't you tell me?"
Elsa barked again and put her front paws on his shoulders, proceeding lick his cheek. By then Raven had turned around and disappeared through the lobby doors. Beast Boy shook his head and slipping into the closet he put his clothes on the correct way the second time around.
Hey I feel like this was better than nothing since it's been sitting on my computer for weeks now. I just need to get on connecting my two major parts of the story and get the ball rolling! Trust me this chapter would have been huge if I waited XD
I hope you liked it, even though it was short! Peace Love n Writing :p
