Better together (BBRAE)

41) petrified.

Beastboy's POV

I noticed a pain in my chest. I contemplated waking Raven up, but when I looked over at her sleeping, she looked so peaceful... So... vulnerable. So... attackable.

My body grew and my eyes went dark.

The beast was emerging. But I wasn't being protective like usual. This was something different. Very different.

My eyes focused on her. Everything in my body was telling me to hurt her.

Should I do it?

I attacked her, not stopping until she was dead.

When I came back to my senses, I noticed Raven.

I realized what had happened.

"NO! Raven!" I screamed. I began to sob.

Raven's POV

I woke up to Beastboy moving around. I noticed he was talking in his sleep.

"No! Raven!"

I saw a tear escape his eye and then he began to full on cry.

I shook him until he woke up.

When he looked at me, he looked at me in shock and wrapped me in his arms.

"Raven... you're ok!"

"It was all just a dream. I'm perfectly fine," I replied with a smile.

He smiled back, but it immediately turned to a frown.

"I need to go," he said as he got out of the bed.

"Gar no."

"Raven I don't want to hurt you," he said as he started crying.

"You're not going to hurt me Beastboy."

"Yes! I am! I already did. Now please just let me go," he said as he opened the door.

I used my powers to levitate him and bring him over to the bed. I placed him in front of me.

I tickled him and he started laughing.

"Raven *laugh* I'm being serious *laugh*"

I stopped and he lightly pushed me away.

When I saw him start to get up again I grabbed onto him as tight as I could.

"No. You're not going anywhere without me," I told him.

"Ok ok. I'll stay," he whispered.

He ran his fingers through my hair and kissed me on top of my head.

"When I agreed to be your boyfriend I didn't know you'd be so needy," he said, laughing softly.

"Hey! I'm not needy! I just like being with you sometimes," I said.

"Raven you can't even fall asleep when I'm not with you, holding you in my arms," he said.

I blushed and pouted.

"Let's just go back to sleep ok?" I asked.

"Ok. Do you want me to hold you?"

"Yes," I replied.

He laughed.

"And to think I used to be scared of you... even though I am still a little scared," he said.

I smiled and crawled onto his lap. His hands wrapped around my waist.

"Beastboy..." I said seductively.

"Um.. uh.. Yah?" He said with a voice crack.

"Now that we are together, you shouldn't be scared of me."

I closed my eyes and leaned in. He did too.

My lips brushed his and moved to his ear.

"You should be absolutely petrified," I whispered in a demonic tone.

Beastboy's POV

I opened my eyes in surprise, only to realize I was in the water by the beach outside the tower.

It was freezing cold, and my clothes were soaked.

"Wha... what? What just happened?"

I looked up, seeing Raven smirking from her window before turning and walking away.

"Man. She's absolutely petrifying. Hot as hell... but petrifying," I whispered to myself as I turned into a fish and swam back to shore.
