His Awakening

--------------------------------

Pain. Something he thought he would be used to. But it still hurt. Damn did it hurt.

Beast Boy floated in void of blackness with nothing but his thoughts to keep him company as he tried to control agony. He tried to swim around to distract himself but wasn't going anywhere. He also tried to count the hairs on his arms but quickly lost interest. Man was he ever bored!

The last thing he remembered was Raven pointing towards him and him flying backward then things went blank.

"I must have pushed her too far," he shook his head, "it was bound to happen sooner or later. I just wished she smiled…maybe even laugh again."

!FLASHBACK!

"You are going to upset his stomach Beast Boy," Raven stated in an abolishing monotone, "stop feeding Silkie tofu."

Beast Boy stuck out his bottom lip so he was giving her a pouty face. All the while taunting Silkie, Starfire's pet larva with a cube of tofu who was trying it's best to consume the treat.

"But he likes it." Beast Boy whined.

Raven went back to her book.

"Fine but don't say I didn't warn you."

Beast Boy gave me a triumphant smile then stuck his tongue out at her when she wasn't looking up. Turning back to Silkie, Beast Boy lowered the treat low enough so that he could get it.

Silkie let out a small squeal as it greedily devoured the tofu cube.

"HAH! See Raven, I told you he liked it!"

Beast Boy started to do a victory dance as around the kitchen when Raven look up at him. A blush started to color her cheeks as a smile crept along her lips. Luckily her hood was up.

"Fine, so Silkie likes your tof….ummmm Beast Boy. You might want to turn around." Raven pointed to something back behind him. Her voice showing no trace of her current amusement just her normal monotone.

Beast Boy stopped dancing and gave her a questioning look. Then turned around to the counter top where Silkie had been chewing on his treat.

He managed to glimpse Silkie's eyes pressed shut and its mouth wide open before a tidal wave of grayish goo completely drenched him. He was too dumb founded to move, even after he heard a small belch and PLOP as Silkie fell to the floor and raced away.

Finally recovering, Beast Boy reached up and wiped some of the goop covering his eyes so he could see. What he saw before caused him to take a step back…slipping slightly in the mess on the kitchen floor.

Raven stopped just a couple of feet from him holding her nose. Her hood had fallen down as when she jumped up to try and save Beast Boy from a horrible fate. But what caught his attention was her face was beat red and her lips sealed together but her cheeks where bulging.

He took a step forward and opened his mouth to ask a question when his foot slipped again but this time sent him crashing to the tiled floor. He landed on his butt with a squishing sound that filled the entire room.

Raven couldn't help it anymore and laughter escaped her lips. She was laughing so hard at the sight in front of her that she doubled over to hold her aching ribs. Ravens hair cascaded around her face as she tried to breathe in-between her laughter.

Beast Boy just sat in the goo just completely in shock. He couldn't believe his ears

'Raven laughing? This is defiantly worth being puked on by a larva.' A smile made its way onto his face.

Oddly Beast Boy wasn't put off by her laughter but found himself enjoying the sound. He leaned back against some cabinets allowing him to be encased by her laughter with a big smile.

! END FLASHBACK!

Beast Boy smiled as wide as he could while remembering her laugh. He hadn't been bothered by pain since he started thinking about Raven, plus he was no longer bored.

'Yeah, gooy goo was worth hearing Raven laugh. Even if it meant smelling like a garbage pile for a week.'

Beast Boy felt himself become quiet calm and relaxed when thoughts of Raven entered his head. One of his fondest memories was watching her read out of the corner of his eye as he played Cyborg in Killer Battle Robots Instincts 4.

He loved the way she sometimes chewed on her lower lip when she was completely into a passage. The way she twirled her hair as she read page after page. He loved her hair for some reason he couldn't explain. It was weird to say the least…he just like being around her.

Beast Boy's eyes narrowed in thought.

'Does that mean I like her? Even though she torments me and is mean to me but i'm being the same to her. Being around her is like….eating chocolate covered pancakes. Awesome.

Beast Boy eyes lit up like fireworks as the thought fully sunk in.

'I'm in love with Raven! Holy crap!' Beast Boy just started off into space. Then another thought struck him.

'How am I going to get out of here?' Looking around he began to think of ways to escape where ever he was.

"Please Beast Boy…just come back." A voice echoed in the void around him causing Beast Boy to clamp his hands over his sensitive ears.

'What the hell was that?' Beast Boy started looking around for the source. 'Wait…that was Raven's voice…where is she?'

He began to feel a warmness encompass his body. It became warmer and warmer then suddenly it stopped as quickly as it began.

'Well…that was even stranger.'

"I am going to miss you Beast Boy. I hope one day you can forgive me. Maybe someday we will meet again."

Ravens voice once again echoed around him but this time Beast Boy was able to pinpoint where the source was and began to move toward it. He felt something cool touch his cheek then something he didn't expect…softness against his lips.

'She kissed me….she actually kissed me.' With renew vigor; Beast Boy began to move faster towards her voice…a soft light distinguished itself. He shifted course slightly so that he was traveling towards it. It unhurried grew in size. Urgency began to drive him.

"Goodbye Beast Boy."

Suddenly feeling of emptiness struck him so hard that he almost stopped but moved even faster.

'Wait…what? NO! RAVEN…..just a couple more seconds. Almost there!'

Beast Boy fought harder and faster as he was slowly engulfed in soft warm light. Its warmth tickled his cheeks then he felt the sudden urge to breathe!

Drawling in a breath between cracked lips, he said the first thing that came to his mind. A name that meant more to him than any other. Hoping he wasn't too late.

"Raven….."
