Fireflies

-Beastboys POV-

Nightstar lay in her bed peacefully. The moon outside reflected on the mirror, it was a smiley face tonight, the stars were gleaming. Nightstar wasn't going out tonight, she was too tired. After her and Starfire came out of the restroom they had spent the rest of the day together. When they came home Nightstar was so tired she almost fell asleep in the bathtub, she got dressed quickly and jumped in bed and fell asleep almost instantly.

"Goodnight Beastboy."

That was the last thing I herd in that tiny sweet voice and her eyes closed, she was out.

I watched Nightstar for a couple more minutes than left the room. The hallway was a light blue, the candles and lights had been shut off, everyone must be asleep.

I had been walking for awhile now, this place was huge, it takes me around 20 minutes to get to Ravens room. I think that's why this place was so big, Starfire didn't want us to see eachother but she still kept us in the same building, because she needs us.

Maybe she knows that Raven and I see eachother but she hasn't caught us together in a couple of years, so maybe she can't get mad at us. Or maybe she thinks Raven refuses to see me, or is scared too.

Finally I made it to Ravens room, her door was a light red, just like every other door here. I slowly turned the golden door knob looking around just to make sure I was alone. The door squeaked as I slipped inside, then shut the door again.

Raven was asleep to, which surprised me. Usually she's meditating. I watched her breathing, slow and steady, just as it should be. I climbed in bed with her, the dark blue blanket was just as soft as I remember. She mumbled some, I didn't understand so I quickly made my way under the covers.

She was facing me, one hand under her pillow and the other under her head. I moved closer to her, she smiled as I wrapped my arm around her waist.

"Beastboy?" She whispered tiredly yet happy, her eyes still closed. I kissed her forehead, she made a small moan. (A/N:You know that happy feeling you get when you hug someone you hadn't seen in a long time or love? That small noise you make because you're so happy and you enjoy the hug or whatever?)

"Yes." I whispered smiling. She smiled and did a small giggle. She slowly looked up at me with her eyes only half open.

"Why are you here?" She asked smiling, still in a tired voice.

"Starfire wasn't walking around, she wasn't on patrol, so I figured it was safe to see you." I rubbed her cheek, she smiled more leaning into my touch.

"You have me to thank for that." Ravens eyes opened fully, she looked at me with a tricky smile on her face. My eye brows crunched.

"What'd you do?"

"I eased her mind, she doesn't know of course, I was very careful to make my presence unknown."

"You're a very sneaky telepath." I played with my voice and poked her nose with my index finger. She laughed again, quietly.

She shifted her body so now she was hugging me with her one arm and leaned up on the other, I had my arm around her waist and I was leaning on the other. I swear, I can stare into her violet eyes forever. She bit her lip and pulled me closer.

We kissed, we kissed for a long time. We hardly had time to get air because of how hard we were kissing eachother. Her lips soft and forceful, my hand on her back, pushing her closer to me. She climbed on top of me. To be honest I was getting nervous. We hadn't done IT in a long time. Raven stopped kissing me, I could tell she was smiling even though my eyes were closed.

"Beastboy, we don't have to if you don't want to."

I opened my eyes, she had her eyes closed but she opened them and looked at me. The tips of her long purple hair lay on my chest. I smiled and wrapped her in my arms. She laughed as I laughed, we were on our sides hugging eachother, we stayed like that for awhile. She kissed my shoulder, then my neck, then my cheeks, then my mouth.

"Shouldn't this be the other way around?" I asked as she kissed my chest.

"Nope." Her rasped came back when she said that, we slowly undressed eachother, enjoying the feeling of our warm body against eachother once again.

-Nightstars POV-

My eyes opened only to find I was alone in my blue room. I looked around for Beastboy but he wasn't here, maybe he went for a snack, sometimes he does that. I tired to go back to sleep but I couldn't.

I got out of bed and walked towards my window, it was tall and wide. The moon was a smiley face and the stars were shiny like mini starbolts. I opened my window and jumped into the open air.

The different types of plants surrounded me. Some of them glowed, some of them would disappear into the ground, and some would moved towards me. These plants were from my mothers home planet, Tamaran, the last seeds rescued from the saddest battle.

My mother says in that battle her little brother had to be sent away, many Tamaraneans died, including her parents, and that an outsider, named Blackfire, had sold my mother to the Gordians.

The battle had left their planet destroyed and without plant life for years, but it's slowly growing back. I've only been to Tamaran four times. The first two times I don't remember, I was a baby. I remember the third time I went there, there were patches of grass growing inside emperor Gal'fores castle. I spent time with Gal'fore and my mother as they spoke her native language.

Gal'fore kissed me when he realized I didn't know what they were talking about, he wondered why I didn't know the language. My mother said it was because she had too many languages inside her so she couldn't get the exact language onto me.

The fourth time I visited, it seemed more pleasant, there were more grass patches and it even went outside. There were many warriors training and preparing for an upcoming battle, I didn't know who they were going to fight.

I remember I had started my training but my mother refused to have me trained. She said I had no use for it since I lived on Earth, and Earth is my home planet. She told me she would personally train me.

I flew close to the water, the moon reflected off the ripples of water I created. I stopped and stared into the water. There were plants in the water, the glowing kind, I could see the different colors of fish and other sea animals.

The fish swam in no particular order, following no rules and were still completely peaceful. I hovered above the water criss-cross, watching them swim randomly. I laughed, enjoying this feeling of calmness. Fireflies started to join me.

They danced around me, my smile now wide. I laughed as I flew into the air spinning around and around. We flew higher into the air, they bounced and danced around me. We flew higher and higher, the things around us got smaller, I laughed with my friends as we all danced together.

We flew higher, I laughed as we gained altitude but then I noticed some of them started to slow down. More and more slowed down and started to fly away, towards the ground. More and more stopped and followed the others, I watched as the last of them started to go away.

I frowned. I watched their lights get smaller and smaller. I was alone again. Alone in the sky. The cold winds blew through my hair, I shivered an rubbed my arms.

'Why am I alone? Why am I always alone?'

I looked dully at the water and plants that were miles under me. I saw the moon reflect on the water, the smiley moon, moving with the waves. I turned my head upwards and looked at the huge moon and gleaming stars. I smiled and began to warm up.

'Im not alone, I have Beastboy, Raven, Cyborg, my mother, my Father and friends. I have the moon and Stars-'

I flew in circle in the sky, smiling, and dived towards the water and land.

'-the water, the beautiful fish, the plants, grass, I'm never alone. Silly me. How could I think I was alone?'

I laughed off the silly thought, I was flying so fast through the trees and jungle life I caused some of their pretty green leafs to fly away with me. I caused a green glow to surround my body, I went faster and faster. I saw everything in time so I wouldn't hit anything, this was my first time flying so fast. I think Mother would be proud.

I stopped abruptly, my friends were outside playing in the shallow water. I flew to them, they smiled as I flew closer.

"Hello friends!" I smiled and waved to them as I sat on the flat rock.

They jumped towards me. I picked up my friend and pet her slimy head. My other friend sat next to me, purring. I pet her stripped back.

"Today mother started my training." I looked at both of them.

"Riii-bit" Mini silkie said.

"Puuurrr?" Miss.Stripe asked.

"Yeah, it was tough. I couldn't make a starbolt because I couldn't feel angry. Mother was mad and tried to make me angry, it didn't work. In the end she was disappointed, and I was tired."

"Raaaa-iieerrggh" Miss.Stripe yawned, she made me yawn. Mini Silkie didn't yawn.

"I did go to sleep. But I guess I'm disturbing you guys. I'll see you tomorrow then?" I stood up and nodded. Mini silkie jumped into the water, I giggled.

I started to fly towards my room, Miss.Stripe cried for me, I landed back on the ground. I looked into her green eyes.

'Im sorry, I guess I should've said goodbye to you too.'

I thought to myself as I pet her head, then kissed her forehead. We walked into the jungle in silence. Eventually I made it to my room, which was very high off the ground. I kissed miss. Stripe goodbye again and watched her go to her home, which was deeper in the jungle. I flew to my room and went back to bed, sad I couldn't talk to my friends longer.

Beastboy was still gone. He must be visiting one of his friends, he's lucky. He can have friends that look like him, well kinda. My mother banned me from having human friends, she didn't want me to have Beastboy as a friend either. I always wonder why I can't have friends, why I have to be so blocked off from the world. The only thing I can do if I want to communicate is to order the humans around.

But Beastboy says that's wrong, but Mother won't allow me to talk to them like the way I do Beastboy. That makes me sad. Mother says I am their superior. Which means I am better, stronger, and smarter than they are. But Beastboy says we're all the same. I want to trust Beastboy, but mother is scary when she's mad, so I have to listen to her.

I turned to face the door, the pillow was still cold under my head. I keep waiting for Beastboy, he helps me fall asleep, but he's not here. I stare at the door, the bad thoughts start flying through my head again. I try to force them out but they keep getting bigger.

Finally I start to think about Beastboys story. The one where my mother and father get married, the one where Beastboy realizes he loves Raven.

I like Raven, she's pretty and nice. Cyborg is funny, although he scares me, he's half human, half Robot. Mother says Cyborg is dangerous but he seems nice. But I try to keep my distance.

I replay the story in my head, I start to fall asleep as I imagine what my father looks like. Black hair, blue eyes, white skinned.

Raven says that when I get older I'll be the same white skinned as my father, but for now I'm as orange as my mother.

My mind is slowly drifting, slowly turning into black, slowly turning hypnotic. I fall asleep.

-Beastboys POV-

Raven and I lay in her bed, breathless, we held hands.

"That-That was how many?" I asked her out of breath.

"4 or 6, I wasn't keeping tract." She replied also breathless.

Sweat ran down our head and bodies, my lower waist covered by the blanket, her body covered by the blanket. Our cloths were on the ground, I laughed and looked at Raven.

"I think we beat our personal record."

She laughed.

"Yeah, I think we did." She touched my chest and kissed me again.

"I love you." She rested her forehead on my chin.

"I love you more." My hand touched her bare sweaty back and I pushed her towards me, we were hugging. Yes we were naked and sweaty but who cares? We don't. After awhile I was forced to break the silence.

"I have to go to Nightstars room now, Starfire could wake up any minute."

Raven tensed and held my chest.

"No please stay, I'll keep her asleep." She hid her face.

"Raven, I have to go. If she wakes up after sunrise she'll know something's up..."

Raven stayed in her position, breathing a bit harder, I shook her.

"Raven? Tell me what she does."

"No."

"Raven!"

"No. I can't."

"Tell me!" I half shouted. I got up in bed, I leaned on my one arm, Raven got up with me. Covering herself with the blanket, she leaned in my chest again.

"Beastboy..." She started to cry. "Trust me okay. I can't tell you. Please don't force me to tell you?"

She begged, and begged, and begged. I leaned against the wall and held her, trying to comfort her.

"Shhh Raven...it's okay, you don't have to tell me okay? I promise I won't ask anymore. Okay? I love you."

I was holding her tighter in my arms. She stopped crying and was relaxed. She wrapped her arms around me, her head still on my chest, she told me that she loved me. I told her I loved her. It was true. So very true. I can never live without Raven and seeing her breakdown crying tore my heart into pieces.

We stayed like that until we heard a door slam shut.

"I have to go now." I whispered, shifting out of our position. She let me go. I grabbed my cloths and kissed her, I transformed into a tiger again, carrying the cloths in my mouth and walked out of the room. She had opened the door with her powers.

I ran down the many hallways, heading towards Nightstars room but as I turned the next corner Starfire was there. Starfire was walking down the hall, in the opposite direction. I was relieved at first until I noticed her walking towards Nightstars room.

It couldn't possibly be sunrise already, at least not for another hour...maybe 30 minutes? I held my breath as she got closer and closer to Nightstars room.

'Whats she going to do to me when she see's I'm gone? Was tonight the last Night I got to spend with Raven? I didn't get to tell her my proper goodbyes! What about Cyborg? How will they go on with me gone? What about Nightstar? Surely she can't kill me if Nightstar still cares about me!'

I watched, panicked, surely I was sweating more right now than I was with Raven. Starfire will kill me and no one will know! Unless she tortures Raven with my death.

'How will Raven take it? Will she kill herself? Will she try to bring me back?'

Starfire was at Nightstars door, she paused at the door. This was it, I'm dead. She turned and walked another direction, towards the gardens. The tension and stress lifted from my body, did Raven do this? If she did I'll have to thank her later.

I dashed towards Nightstars room. I opened the door quickly as a monkey, I glanced at Nightstar, who was still asleep. I ran into the restroom and took a shower and washed my cloths. I turned into a dog when I finished and shook off the water, then I turned into an ant and let the water drip off me, then into a cat and cleaned myself.

My cloths were dry with me and I went back to Nightstars room, she up and had actual cloths on. She wore her one piece outfit, it was sort of like a dress, but it was short. She had tiny metal bracelets on and combat boots, like what Starfire used to wear.

"Why are you wearing that?"

"My training. I have to go now, mother expects me at sunrise."

Before I could stop her and talk to her more she left. Why was Starfire training her? When did she get that outfit?

I shook the thoughts away and decided I would keep them for later, I lay in Nightstars bed, exhausted, and fell asleep.
