There and Back Again
Disclaimer: No...of course I don't own Teen Titans...now shoo!
"When I am with you, I swear I can soar even higher, dive even deeper, charge even harder, in general kick-ass even better! I love you forever and always…"
My eyes always seem to tear up when I sort Beast Boy's little notes, whenever I feel bad, like after we have arguments I go through them. It reminds me of how much we care about each other, and would never deliberately try to destroy what we have. It's just…
The past arguments were over little things, which were brushed under the rug as quickly as they had risen. This one, I wasn't too sure. I think we both needed to cool down, I might've pushed him over the edge.
I know I should've meditated, but I thought I should talk to him first and foremost. Maybe in the morning when we both had cooled down, he'd want to sleep in. I looked out the window, he had taken flight out of the glass opening a few hours ago. I wondered what he was thinking about, I had a sickening nerve to chase him.
To relax I calmed myself with optimistic thoughts. He just needs to cool down, Raven, he needed to soothe his nerves. And you should be doing the same, wait to confront him in the morning. You'll both be calm by then.
I sighed reluctantly agreeing with my more rational conscience. I eventually lulled myself into a dark sexual dream, I really shouldn't have accepted that book from Starfire's sister. It had been affecting me in my dreams, there's always an image burned in my dreams of me and Beast Boy…in my bedroom, doing naughty things…that's all I will say.
"Rae…Rae! RAE!" He howled in my dreams and I continued my torture. The whip cracking, his face smiling, laughing, enjoying himself, although he winced in his pain.
I shuddered myself awake, I had always noticed whenever I woke up from these dreams, I was always aroused. It would be awkward at first, but eventually after some meditation I would be able to control my urges.
After my meditation routine, I'd go to the kitchen and join the others. I was right to think Beast Boy probably wanted to sleep in because he wasn't there by the time Cyborg was up cooking his protein mountain.
Everything was going normally until Beast Boy didn't show up, I did my best not to show any concern. Starfire, Robin, and Cyborg were a different story. Starfire was floating around with concern, Robin tried to dismiss it, but everyone knew he was worried, Cyborg was close to spazzing, "Why isn't BB up yet? It's 7:30 PM!"
I shrugged, my slight concern was normal behavior for me, if it wasn't I'd probably be doing what Starfire was doing or even breaking down his door like Robin or Cyborg would like.
I tried to read my book in peace, but I couldn't. They were really starting to annoy me, and I was starting to get really scared so I thought up an offer.
I slammed my book shut, everyone turned to face me, hoping for some sort of reassurance or something.
I asked them nonchalantly in my bored tone, "If you guys are so concerned, why don't we all just go and knock on his door?"
Starfire began clapping her hands gleefully, Robin nodded his head and Cyborg just mimicked Robin. I'm confused why none of them bothered to do this earlier, I don't get it, they looked at me like I was a genius.
When we arrived at our "destination", we noticed a small note on BB's door. I tore it off and read it out loud, with everyone peering over my shoulders.
"Dear Titans, I don't think I can stay any longer. I'm having my own personal problems. I'm not sure when I'm returning…or if I'm even returning. Thanks for the memories. Beast Boy."
I think everyone's heart sank at that moment, I felt the worst, I was reason he left, it doesn't get as bad as that. Everyone was shocked, there was no warning or anything, Aqua Lad came up to us and read the note, his face darkened and he had a grim expression.
The next few days were like Hell. No one said anything funny, BB usually did that, everyone tried their best to not mention anything about him. Well, other than Robin's meeting, he announced, "Without Beast Boy here, we all need to step up and take a little more heat than usual. He'll be back soon enough…"
Even with Robin's speech, I knew he was doubting the last part a bit, no one said it though. It was too much of a shock, nobody wanted to poke at the tender wound.
My fears had come true, he really wasn't joking, I can't believe what I said…I just wish I could take back all my words.
A/N: Ayyy...I've updated. The only thing I'm disappointed with this story is, how awfully short these chapters are! I usually type up a storm, but I've decided to really chop things up. I'm terrible I know! Anyway thanks for reviewing, I appreciate it. Hopefully I'll update the next few chapters soon.
