Chapter 7: Fleeting
"I think it's better when she's not around."
"Good for you," Beast Boy replied to the earth-manipulator, rolling his eyes at her complaints.
"There's no need to be like that." She sat down next to him on the sofa.
"Well there is." He sighed and placed the comic book he was reading onto the coffee table beside him.
"Don't you agree with me though, BB? She's so boring. You guys are lucky to have me here to entertain you all."
"Robin wouldn't appreciate you talking about a teammate like that."
"Why are you defending her? You're in love with her or something, aren't you?" She scoffed.
"No, I'm not in love with Raven. I just think that you should keep your opinions to yourself sometimes, Terra."
"It's not my opinion." She waited until he looked at her before she continued. "It's the truth. She's a boring person. Like seriously boring. And she's always so negative, why is that?"
"I don't know, okay? And she's not boring, she's just unique." He got up from the couch and made his way to the fridge. He sighed in relief when she didn't reply, as he took that as a sign that the conversation was finally over.
His victory was short-lived.
"Unique or not, you should stay away from her. It seems that her negative attitude is already rubbing off on you," she called from the sofa.
"She's been at Titans East for two weeks. I haven't even spoken to her since she's been gone!"
"You're lying. I saw you writing a letter to your little pen pal." She rummaged through her shorts' pockets until she eventually pulled out a folded piece of paper.
He swiftly made his way over to her and snatched the paper out of her hand before she could react. He scanned it's contents quickly before asking, "Where did you get this?"
"That doesn't matter." She snatched the paper back. "I like the part where you say that you care about her more than me."
Beast Boy gulped nervously. Terra was holding his letter to Raven, which he thought had been sent to Titans East weeks ago.
Raven,
Dude, I am so so so so so so so so sorry! I didn't mean anything that I said and I care about you a lot! Please come back to the tower, we all miss you. It's not the same without you and don't think for a sekond that Terra could ever take your plase. Nobody could ever replase you.
Love from BB! XOXO
"You shouldn't have this," he said, attempting to get it back from her.
"And you shouldn't have wrote this." She took a few steps back from him and turned her attention to the paper. She cleared her throat before reading it aloud. "It's not the same without you and don't think for a second that Terra could ever take your place," she said in a mocking tone. "You've made a few mistakes. For starters, you spelt 'replace' and 'second' wrong. And secondly, you said that you like her more than me!"
"I never said that! Now give it back!" he shouted, trying to grab the paper out of her grasp.
"Not until you kiss me!"
"What?"
"Kiss me and I'll give it you."
"That's blackmail."
"I don't care. Kiss me." She began to slowly make her way over to him, like an animal would do to it's prey.
"I'm not kissing you. I'll just write another one."
"No you won't. You're going to kiss me and you're going to enjoy it, Garfield."
"What has gotten into you today? Just leave me alone," he said, silently praying that one of his teammates would walk in.
"You don't want a kiss? Fine, we'll go to your bedroom and get straight down to it then."
Before he could react, she grabbed the bottom of his shirt and pulled it over his head. She threw it on the ground and placed her hands on his chest.
"Woah woah woah, if you guys are gonna do that then please do it somewhere else!" Cyborg said, covering his eyes.
"It's not what it looks like!" Beast Boy protested.
"Uhuh," his half-robot teammate said, taking some bacon out of the fridge. "Well I'm just gonna make a couple sandwiches and then I'll leave you two alone."
"No!" Beast Boy shouted. "Please, stay."
"Dude, I-"
"Just stay!"
"Well, alright. But if you guys start gettin' crazy then I'm out."
Beast Boy shuddered and then nodded, pushing Terra off of him. He glared daggers at her and she replied with a smirk.
"To be continued," she whispered.
Meanwhile at Titans East, Raven and Aqualad were celebrating their two week anniversary.
Parties weren't really her thing, but she'd do anything to make him happy. Even if that meant sitting through a few hours of Speedy's terrible dancing.
"Having fun?" Aqualad asked, approaching his girlfriend. She nodded in response. "I'm sorry that the others couldn't make it."
"It's fine. I just don't know why they didn't bother to reply at all. I hope they're okay."
"I'm sure they're fine. I was debating whether or not to contact them via communicator but-"
"Robin gets pissed when you call when it isn't an emergency."
"Exactly."
"It's okay, really. The invitations must have just gotten lost in the mail."
"That's my best guess. Now come on, you're not going to just sit there throughout the whole evening, are you?"
"It depends," she replied with a small smirk on her lips.
He offered his hand out to her with a smile.
"May I have this dance, Raven?"
"You may, Garth." *
* Garth is Aqualad's real name.
Well this chapter was confusing, please feel free to ask me any questions if you're confused. BTW Terra and Beast Boy aren't dating and they haven't kissed or done anything that couples would do.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THEY ARE AGED ABOUT 17-19 IN THIS FANFIC AND NOT THE UNCONFIRMED AGES THAT THEY ARE IN THE SHOW, THANK YOU.
