Me: Chapter four up! Oh and I must correct my numbers in the previous chapter, We're making this story 7 chapters not 5. I typed too fast! And 5 is long, not 4!
Eric: Just a reminder, we don't own Teen Titans, sadly…
Before She Wakes; Chapter 4: Living Day 2 Day
"You're early," Raven said as Beast Boy sat beside her in the grand library of the Central Thought Hall. Beast Boy handed Raven a sheet of paper and leaned back against a desk." BB What's this?"
"It's a list of things that I love," Beast Boy said with a grin. Raven skimmed down the page and stopped when she read her own name." I thought it might help you with your quest to define love… Though I see that you're hitting it already…" He gestured to the stack of romance novels by her chair." Can we see Affection's realm tonight? I've seen everyone else's… I wand=t to see where Mrs. Affection resides."
"Not tonight!" Raven cried. She blushed and stood trying to calm herself." What I meant was let's keep the at for the fourth night… Why don't I show you my memory bank? You wanted to see Azarath and it's in my memory…"
"Okay," beast Boy shrugged. Raven led him through the Central Thought Hall until they reaches a grand, black oak, door. Raven opened the door and pulled Beast Boy in by his hand. The room was empty except for a large TV screen and a couch." Um Rae I think we found the TV room…"
"NO silly, " Raven said with a light chuckle," The screen shows my memories, and we watch from the couch. It's controlled mentally though, so you can think of a memory we share and it will appear. Now sit and I'll show you Azarath…"
They sat and flipped through memories for a while, before Beast Boy thought of something and he and Raven appeared on the screen.
"It was that beast that saved me though," Raven on screen said. The real Raven felt her face flush bright red and looked up at Beast Boy, who was in rapture of the screen. He thought again and he saw him handing Raven the penny before Trigon's attack. Raven's face was looking much like a sun burnt tomato at the moment and Beast Boy kept flipping through memories they had shared." Stop!"
Beast Boy jumped at her cry and looked over to see her crying. He immediately grabbed her into a hug and tried to soothe her.
"Raven I'm sorry!" Beast Boy murmured in her ear." I didn't mean to upset you! Damn, I did it again! I messed up and hurt you!"
"It's not that," Raven said. Her face was nuzzled into the crook of Beast Boy's neck and as she spoke her lips brushed against his throat. Beast Boy shivered in delight and hugged her curved waist." I don't deserve you! You're so sweet and kind and you hold these memories we shared so dear to your heart! A half-demon like me doesn't deserve this!" Beast Boy tilted Raven's chin up." Beast Boy I-"
Beast Boy kissed her. He didn't know why (A.N: Okay he knew why but he didn't know why he did it right then!) he did it, just that he needed to reassure Raven that he loved her. Raven tried to push him back, but he held her tighter, and she melted at his warm embrace. Beast Boy pulled back for a gulp of air then kissed her again, sliding his tongue into her mouth meeting hers. They fought for dominance, tracing and memorizing every plane in the others mouth. Beast Boy pulled back and kissed her gentler this time.
"Raven," He murmured across her lips. Raven gave a contented sigh and snaked her arms up around his neck. She laced her fingers into his green hair and held him firmly in place." I love you…"
"Beast Boy," Raven said pulling back. Beast Boy kissed her temple and cradled her against his strong frame." I-"
The world around them began to fade. Raven gave a cry of anger and tried to hold onto Beast Boy, but he was waking up; slipping away before she could stop him.
"Raven hold that thought!" Beast Boy cried. He kissed her swiftly before fading away with a cry of," I love you don't forget that!"
"Beast Boy," Aaron said shaking the young man awake. Beast Boy groaned and punched the young man as he rolled out of bed." Dude! I'm sorry but A.J. ordered me to come and get you! Having a good dream or what?"
"I was this f'ing close!" Beast Boy roared. He ran down the hall to the twins' room and slammed in." Dude! I was so close to having her! Why did you wake me up?! She was in my arms! I was kissing her! What the friggin' hell?!"
"Are you done?" A.J. asked calmly. Beast Boy gave a growl and Joy rolled her eyes." You have to make her want to say she loves you, BB. And besides, you need to see this…" A.J. handed him a letter." It's from our cousin… She says that Trigon is attacking Gotham…"
Me: Bwahahaha! A cliffhanger ending! You will have to wait until next time because it's like 2 a.m. here and the author needs rest!
Eric: R&R so far and we'll post more soon!
