Day: Number 12
Points Of View Intertwined: Starfire, Beast Boy, Cyborg
Location: Selevence Fair
Setting: Roller Coaster Ride!
Time: 5:05 P.M.
"Come on, Star! Don't tell me you're scared of a roller coaster ride?! Haven't you ever been on one of these?! It'll be thrilling!" Beast Boy was currently trying to encourage an oddly stubborn Starfire to get on the roller coaster. Starfire tried to back away from the steel carts linked together. She bit her lip as she began to protest. "I have visited the Ferris Wheel before, but I have never gone on a ride on this...roller coaster, as you call it...I do not wish to suffer cardiac arrest!" Beast Boy gave her a skeptical look.
"What makes you think you'll suffer that?! And who told you about cardiac arrest, in the first place?!" Starfire simply pointed at a sign next to B.B. He skimmed through what it said. "Warning! May incite Cardiac Arrest to the elderly, or those with heart problems." He began waving his arms up and down at her. "This only applies to the sick and elderly! You're neither one of those!" Starfire shook her head, spreading her arms out. "I still refuse to join this insane joy ride of yours, Beast Boy." B.B. pouted at her, and smiled. "Don't be ridiculous! You won't get hurt!" Starfire still did not look very reassured.
'Okay, I'll try another ploy...' "All right Starfire, I'll have fun without you! See you soon!" Starfire began to make her escape. 'Okay, that is a relief.' She waved a her hands at him in a bye-bye motion. "Yes, see you soon!" B.B. stared at her, nearly falling over. He got up in a flash and felt a slight vein beginning to burst on his forehead. He shook his head as he intercepted Starfire's escape route. 'No, that definitely was not what I had in mind...' "No, no, wait, wait!" Beast Boy began to slowly push a resisting Starfire towards the car. 'Geez, she's quite strong, actually.' He was having a hard time moving her; she was leaving two trails of lines through the dirt. "Come on, you don't now what you're missing!"
"I do not wish to go!" Starfire leapt up and hovered over Beast Boy's head, so she would not be moved by him anymore. Beast Bo began hollering at her. "Hey, come back down here! Don't make me go up there, Star!" 'He looks so funny when he's mad.' She smiled down at him, and stuck her tongue at him. "Come and get me down from here, huh, B.B.?" Beast Boy slapped his face in frustration. He sighed as he looked up at her, thinking fast. "How can I get her to have some fun?! I thought she loved these things!" 'And I'd really loved it if she'd go with me...' B.B. slumped his shoulders and sighed. 'Really, though...I should respect her decision." He looked wanly up at her. 'Oh well...can't have everything, as they said.' His conscience berated him soundly.
'That's no way to treat her! If she doesn't want to go, let it go! Respect her wishes...its all about regarding others feelings over yours, remember?' Beast Boy nodded mentally. 'Chill out, you're right.' He resigned himself to a solo act. "Okay, you win. I won't make you go on, Starfire. I'll see you later." He waved at her and turned to get on the ride all by himself. 'Oh well...it wasn't nice forcing her on it, anyway.' Starfire watched him go, thinking. 'I am profoundly frightened by this odd earthly contraption...but Beast Boy seems to think it is safe enough...maybe I really should try it? Besides,' She smiled brightly as he sat himself down, 'I will be able to sit by his side.' Star made her final decision just then.
"Here we go...eh?" Beast Boy had just fastened his seat belts when a slight gust of wind blew by his side. He turned and found Starfire sitting there, right next to him, looking as calm and happy as can be. 'I thought she said she wasn't going to get on?" A large question mark began to float above B.B.'s head. Starfire began to clap her hands heartilly. "Aren't you just glad we will be sharing this experience together?" Beast Boy shook of his confusion and grinned. 'Of course I am glad.' "Glad you can join me, Starfire...here, let me help." Beast Boy secured the seat belt around her waist, securing her down, at the same time making sure his was properly strapped down.
"Okay, now just relax, Star...you're in for a treat!" Starfire ruffled Beast Boy's hair. "All right. I will!" The cart was okay; it was slightly cramped, but Star couldn't care any less. Six cars, two people each one held; making for twelve passengers. At first, it began slow..."This is not so bad," Starfire commented at first. B.B. gave her a side long look. Starfire's smile faltered as the cart began to pick up speed. "Trust me, it gets much worse than this!" Gradually the speed rose in excess of 75 miles per hour, roughly adding five miles to every three minutes. Starfire's eyes were wide as saucers as the cart reached the summit of a hill...'Get me out of here!' Her mind screamed.
"Oh no!!!" Starfire yelled out as the ride went down the first free fall. "Wahoo!" Beast Boy yelled out in delight; Starfire was screaming her head off, yelling for her life. The whole ride kept going up and down, through loops, spirals, and a few freefalls. Since it was moving at dizzying speeds, B.B. suffered temporary dizziness; Starfire was almost literally seeing stars. "Help me! How do you stop this crazy thing?!" Starfire began to scream in fear. To her, everything was zipping by in a scary blur, the world seeming to tilt at insane, kaliedoscopic angles.
"Calm down, Starfire! Just relax! What doesn't kill you will make you stronger!" B.B. spoke idly. Starfire was so close to B.B. when she yelled that he began to see stars floating into his vision. B.B. swore his hair was not being blown away by the speed of the ride; more like the force Starfire was screaming at him. "How can I relax when I feel like I am going to dieeee!" As interesting as it seemed, Star couldn't help feel scared of the pace they were going at, considering everything was zipping by so quick. 'Earthlings certianly have the wierdest taste for fun!!!'
" Beast Boy, I am going to kill you!" She shrieked aloud, her eyes clamped shut. Starfire tried desperately to find anything to hold onto...her hand strayed over Beast Boy's open fist. B.B. found his hand occupied with Starfire's at that moment. 'Hmm...This is sweet!' He squeezed her hand reassuringly. 'It's okay, Starfire...don't be afraid.' Starfire gripped his hand even tighter in response, causing some painful resizing of B.B.'s gloved hand. Beast Boy squirmed at first in discomfort. He cringed slightly, trying to endure the pain.'Yeow! Star, you certainly have a strong grip! Guess I'm sharing the pain, eh?' Starfire could not stop screaming; she did not even to pause for a breather! B.B. looked at her in concern.
'Maybe coaxing her to ride a rollercoaster was a bad idea after all.' The ride came to a stop six minutes later. Everyone on board enjoyed it...but Starfire was too frightened to even notice. She sat wide eyed, unable to scream for a hoarse throat, her chest rising and falling rapidly, as if she'd run through two marathons without water or rest. She was trembling, and barely reacted as Beast Boy whispered into her ear. "Uh, Star, ride's over...Um, you're safe?" Star only nodded dumbly, shakilly getting to her feet. 'Ooh...shoot. Now I'm in for it.' B.B. helped her out of the car guiltilly. Starfire was hyperventilating; Beast Boy had to rub her back reassuringly to calm the poor girl down.
'You jack ass!' His mind yelled at him. 'I know, I know...I'm sure going to regret this!' 'What an insane rush! I will never ride on any such questionably contraption ever again! That was too scary!' Starfire's breathing returned to normal after three minutes. Beast Boy flinched as her quaking form turned to face him. "B-b-beast Boy?" She collapsed forward, making Beast Boy grip her by the arms and right her, before she could fall down. Starfire held onto his shoulders for support, to stabilize herself. Her legs were wobbly, and her eyes weren't exactly focusing correctly.
"Just d-d-don't e-e-ever do that a-a-again!" She stated in a trembling voice. She was not angry nor spiteful; just shaken out of her wits, temporarily. 'He simply wanted me to have fun...he could not possibly foresee the end result...,' She gazed at him from the corner of her eye, 'And at least he got what he wanted.' Yes, Starfire did go in under her own decision...but Beast Boy had to admit, he had insisted. He placed an arm about her shoulders to support her shaking form, and began to walk a bit of a distance away. "Here. Lean on me." Starfire nodded. She leaned her head against his neck, unaware of the soft glances bystanders were giving the couple. "Just h-h-hold me...p-p-please?"
"There, there...I'm truly sorry for scaring you out of your mind...I won't, Starfire, I promise." Beast Boy led her away from the ride and sat her down on a bench nearby. They sat silently for about a minute. 'Well, I guess I'll start!' B.B. smiled lopsidedly at her. "Uh, want to kill me now?" Starfire was still quaking, but managed a smile. She slapped him playfully on the shoulder. "N-n-no, I don't want to. Y-y-you're too m-m-much of a nice g-g-guy to get rid of s-s-so easily. Umm, c-c-can I have a drink? I-I-I am quite thirsty." Beast Boy patted her shoulder. "It's the least I can do for you. Any preferences?" Starfire looked up at him warmly.
"L-l-lemonade will do fine...Iced p-p-please." Beast Boy winked roguishly at her. "Coming right up!" He zipped off in his quest for an iced lemonade. So intent was he on his search that he did not even see a shabbily disguised cyborg pass him by. Cy was looking suspiciously left and right. 'I knew I saw them around here; they just left that rollercoaster! Snapped up two good photoes out of that one...well, they can't be too far-!' A voice distracted him from his work. "Gotta get iced lemonade, gotta get-!" 'Someone in need of assistance. Well, I've been all over this park by now, so I guess it wouldn't hurt to make someone's day a little easier...' Cyborg was so caught up in his search he did not register Beast Boy. It was only natural for him to aid a 'stranger,' so Without thinking he tapped the passing-by B.B.'s shoulder.
Day: Number 12
Point Of View: Cyborg
Location: Selevence Fair
Setting: Streets crowded with People
Time: 5:35 P.M.
"Huh?" Cy pointed quietly to his left. "Yo. Iced lemonade. That direction. Trust me." B.B. smiled absently at the man. "Thanks, dude." Beast Boy ran in that direction. Only then did Cy really get a close look of who he'd accosted. He let out a surprised yelp. "Yow! Oh, man...that was too close! Well, at least I found them...," He looked about...and groaned loudly. "No, no, no!" The fanboys were back...but at least they hadn't seen Star...yet. Currently, they were lingering only twenty feet from where Starfire was seated. Only the fact that she was sitting down prevented any of them from seeing her...but if they moved up just a bit further...Cyborg began to stomp the ground in frustration. "Goddamnit! How can I do my work if they don't leave us all alone?!" Cyborg began to steam at the ears. 'Wait...they know that I know them! Maybe they'll tail me instead? If we can't all have a little peace, maybe I can manufacture some for our dear couple!"
Cyborg made his mind up. He walked resolutely, away from where Starfire was sitting. He purposely waved at the group of fanboys in passing. As he had predicted, the group began to move animatedly towards him. He smirked at the sight of these people. 'Catch me if you can!' Cyborg winked at them, and made a run for it. He could hear them sprint after him, yelling out for him to stop, or asking where Starfire was. "Slow down, man! We just want to know where Starfire is, that's all!" 'Ain't telling no one! No dice!' Cyborg ferverently hoped he would succeed in getting these village idiots away from Beast Boy and Starfire. "Those two deserve a break...hope they make the best of it!" Cyborg ran deeper into the Fair, making sure he didn't stay out of their sight for very long. He grinned to himself, knowing that he'd never be able to tell Starfire and Beast Boy of this misadventure...'This'll be my gift to you guys...have a nice day!'
Day: Number 12
Points Of View Intertwined: Starfire and Beast Boy
Location: Selevence Fair
Setting: Park Bench, then the back end
of a 'Haunted House'
Time: 5:42 P.M.
"Why, thank you, B.B. I feel much better now." Starfire sipped her iced lemonade happily, with a content Beast Boy by her side. Beast Boy squeezed her arm gently. "I'm truly sorry for making you go...I always thought that riding a rollercoaster was the closest any person asides from ourselves could get to flying...I guess I was wrong." Starfire waved it off easily. "Apology accepted, B.B. Well, at least it was an experience I will not soon forget...and now you know what part of an amusement park I do not cherish. It was very scary...but I see that you enjoyed it, so it was not a loss." He absently played with the strands of her hair, curling them around his fingers.
"I'm glad to hear it. Least you're not stuttering anymore. That's a good sign!" Starfire had drank up half of the drink by now. She glanced at it, and then looked up at B.B. 'Hmm...would he care for a sip?' Star tapped Beast Boy's hand and offered him her drink. "It is good. Try some!" At first Beast Boy stared at it. 'She's willing to...?' He shook his head. "No, it's cool, really. It's all yours." Starfire persisted with her efforts. "I now. Just try it! I am sure you will like this." Beast Boy smirked at her. "You just won't take no for an answer, will you?" Starfire shook her head, still smiling broadly at him. "Okay, then I accept your offer." Beast Boy took one sip...one long, drawn out sip. He handed the cup back to Starfire.
"You're right, it's really sweet!" Starfire listened to the sloshing inside the container. She raised an amused eyebrow at him. "Seems you've drank almost the rest of it, Beast Boy. I never realized you were so thristy for iced lemonade." Beast Boy rested himself easily on the smooth stone bench. "Hey, I don't drink dairy products, and fruit juices sure beat water in the long run. I guess you can say I love my fruit juices." Starfire nodded understandingly. Her legs felt slightly tired, as if she'd been running all day today.
'It must be because of that little incident with the rollercoaster ride.' Starfire allowed a quick yawn to escape. Beast Boy at the moment was stretching his limbs out. They looked at one another and smirked. "You too?" They spoke in unison. Beast Boy stretched his neck from left to right, listening to hhis neck making creaking noises. "Let's take a rest for a while, Star...I'm kind of bushed." Starfire stretched her limbs out. "Good idea, Beast Boy! That we shall. Mind if I use this for a pillow?" She sat closer to B.B., who assumed she was going to use his shoulder as a place for her head to rest. He gazed pleasurably at her; 'I'd love to be your pillow any time!' Of course, he decided not to say that out loud.
"Of course you may! Yes, please! Be my guest!" Beast Boy laughed casually. 'Okay. He seems okay with this.' Instead, she laid herself out and rested her head in his lap. B.B.'s eyes widened for a moment, and a rather large exclamation mark began to pulse above his head. B.B. began to sweat profusely, his agitation barely hidden behind a nonchalant expression. 'Wha-??! Okay, do not think about anything sexy! Do no-! No, no, no! You're thinking about it! Think of something else, dimwit!' Beast Boy tried not to think about anything that would...jump start his system. He did not want her to find any physical evidence of how much he liked her. 'I want Starfire to know what I feel, but I don't want her to know it like this! I'll be so embarrassed if that happens!'
"Thanks, Beast Boy...I like this spot very much," She mumbled sleepilly. B.B. reddened considerably as a thought passed through his mind; 'Ooh, what a kinky thing to say! Looks like someone's going to get some tonight!' His mind teased. Beast Boy closed his eyes and smiled, 'Yeah, that'd be nice...,' And then abruptly shook his head. 'Oh, shut up! You know full well that Starfire hadn't meant it like that! I never knew I had such a dirty mind!' Starfire felt his body shake. She opened her eyes to peek up at him. "B.B., is something troubling you?" Beast Boy stopped moving and gazed down at her. 'I guess I'll turn up the charm!' His conscience teased him once more. 'Or so you think.' B.B. ignored that voice.
"Nah, nothing really. Just admiring the view." B.B. tapped Starfire's nose lightly. She wrinkled her nose at him, making him chuckle softly. "What view would that be?" She asked innocently. 'Well, I guess I was a little cryptic on that last subliminal message. Time to be a little more...direct.' Beast Boy stroked her cheeks, his face burning a light red. "You." Starfire's eyes lit up for a second, but she said nothing. 'Hmmm...maybe he had other reasons why he invited me to the fair.' Beast Boy began to fumble with his hands. He cringed slightly. 'Uh, maybe I spoke too soon?' The pair were silent for about a minute, until Starfire spoke up once again. "Beast Boy, are we hanging out...or are we...on a date?" 'Well, gigs up!' B.B. bit his lip tightly, his eyes straying to the sides. "I, uh...?" B.B. stammered, unsure what to say. Starfire noticed his reaction. 'Symptoms of nervousness. Heh heh.' Starfire smiled up at his agitated face.
"So, you have taken me out on my first date, and I had no idea about it! This is certianly going into my notebook!" Starfire watched in amusement as Beast Boy began to fluster. "I...I...!" 'Oh, give it up! Don't try denying it!' He decided it was not a wise idea to deny it. He calmed himself down, and spoke his mind. "Okay, you got me. Yes, I was taking you out on a date all this time...I was just unsure what you'd react if I told you what this really was. Cyborg knew I was starting to like you...so he gave me a proposition I could not refuse, in an attempt to force me to move my rear into gear; he knows I'm a betting man, and I never break my word on a bet." Beast Boy paused to smile upon remembering the incident.
"I'll tell you all the details soon enough. He knew I wanted to do this, just I was too chicken to actually go ahead ad try it...Thanks to him, I screwed up the courage...and I finally stepped up to the plate." He paused to brush a strand of stray hair from Starfire's eyes. He gave her a lopsided look. "Truthfully, I was kind of hoping you wouldn't figure it out so soon...That way, I'd be able to get to know you better, without any risk of making you uncomfortable." Starfire smirked at him. She sat herself back up, placing an arm about his shoulders.
"I'm not uncomfortable with you; you know that I trust you! I meant it when I said I have faith in you; what made you think that?" Beast Boy shrugged, his tone sheepish. "Maybe nagging, 'first-time-dating' doubts? This is my first date, as well...I have to say it, I really like you, Starfire...I was really scared I was going to blow it...," Here he gazed down at his hands, "Big time. I wanted to leave myself a back door...so if you didn't like me in the same manner...I'd be able to accept it, and be able to control my emotions before I got too attached." Beast Boy finished, gazing away bashfully.
"Well, that's all of it...," He gazed ruefully up at her, "I blew that, didn't I?" B.B. closed his eyes, prepared to hear the bad news. Starfire held his hands in hers, rubbing the backsides softly. "Beast Boy, why are you beign so pessimistic?! You're always the optimist in our group!" Her eyes were no longer sleepy, though to B.B. they looked a little...dreamy. B.B. scratched the back of his head. "I only act that way, Star. As I said before, I'm not afraid to be who I really am when you're around. You just bring the real me out...," His smile made his dimples show, "Because...I want you to know who I really am, both the good, and the bad. I want you to see what makes me, me. I must say, though, I kind of wanted to hide the 'bad' away." She grinned.
"Oh, stop it. Your 'bad' side is simply a little...too pessimistic, but I do not consider it to be a flaw. I am still here, am I not? You do not see me running away; you did not do anything untoward...except make me go on that wacky joy ride!" She chuckled as Beast Boy shook his head, smiling. "I saw that one coming. You just had to bring that back up, didn't you, Starfire?" Beast Boy chuckled at the pout she gave him. He stopped and looked at her apprehensively. "So, you're okay with...?" He began shyly. Starfire rolled her eyes to the sky and placed her head by his shoulder. "Earth to Beast Boy! I just told you, I am 'cool' with us going out." Starfire squeezed his hands tightly; he did the same for her.
"I was not joking when I said I was having a good time either! I like you too, B.B. You have seen the good and bad in me...and it does not affect your judgment who I am. To you, both sides of me are what make me Starfire...and I know you would not want it any other way." B.B. began to blink rapidly, rubbing his eyes. 'Wow, this dream is becoming a reality! Or am I simply dreaming again?' "This is...unreal! Is this actually happening?!" She gazed mischieviously at him.
"Still think you're dreaming?" B.B. nodded. 'Calm your ass down, Beastie...This is not time to think about jumping her bones!' Starfire knew B.B. was holding back...again! 'He has such self restraint...but I suppose that is a very good quality of his.' She pretended to stare at something in the distance. 'I know just how to push his buttons just right!' B.B. gazed at her with concern written on his face. "What is it, Starfire? Something wrong?" She pointed at one direction. Starfire tried not to smirk as she fiegned surprise.
"Is that Cyborg scoping us out?" Beast Boy stood up, teeth gritted. 'I'm gonna pound tin can man if I find him!' "Where's that son of a-!" Starfire grinned to herself. 'He will not figure it out, until it is too late. Heh heh.' She stood to her full height and approached Beast Boy, slowly closing the distance between them. B.B. was confused; 'Where did that lucky bastard run off too?' He gave one more pass and found...nothing. By now, Starfire had gotten close enough to swipe something from B.B.'s pants pocket. 'Yoink!' She thought to herself. He turned back to face her.
"Are you sure he was there, Sta-!" For one moment, Beast Boy caught sight of Starfire, looking extremely giddy. "Uh, Starfire? What's with that smile?" He grinned playfully. "I know you have something up your sleeves, but I'm not going to fall for it!" Starfire feigned disappoint. "Oh, you caught my act. Oh well. I do not think you will be needing this, then. Later, Beast Boy." Starfire zipped away like a lightning bolt.
At first, Beast Boy stared with incomprehension. "What is she talking about?" He scratched his head; 'Why do I feel like something's missing?' Then he felt there was something missing, all right. Something from his pants pockets...Beast Boy's head was surrounded with pulsing exclamation marks, as alarms began to ring in his mind. "Wha-! Where's my wallet?!" Beast Boy searched around in a panic. Starfire whistled loudly to him. "Starfire, this is no time for-!" Star stopped running to face him. She waved a brown leather money purse at him, and kissed it once. Then she proceeded to slap her rear with it.
'Here, kitty, kitty...Or should I say, B.B...Let the games begin, heh heh heh.' She winked at him, and sped away. Beast Boy gawked in disbelief, his left eye growing huge as his right became a tiny speck. 'I know full well what that means!' "'Kiss my ass?!!' I'm not going to stand for that! Come back here, Starfire!" Starfire giggled at seeing B.B. racing speedilly towards her, a mischievious grin pasted on his face. "Naughty girl! Hand me back my wallet, and I'll make it quick!" Starfire winked at him solicitiously.
"Oh, I certainly would not want that, Beast Boy!" B.B. smirked at her. 'She sure has a way with words!' "Okay, Star...Here I come!" Starfire made certain Beast Boy was within hearing distance. "Already? We have not even started yet!" 'What a dirty mind!' Beast Boy blushed, saying nothing in return. He transformed himself into a cheetah, and tried to run her down. "Oh please, B.B. You can do better than that!" Starfire began to float to gain an advantage. "Hey! That's cheating!" He protested, "Oh, yeah, rub it in, why don't you, Star?!"
"Look at me!" She pretended to do a backstroke in midair, watching B.B. do his damnedest to catch up. "I'm going to get you...I'm going to get you...I'm going to need a rest after this," He panted, his speed falling considerably. 'Hmmm...looks like I am running him ragged...I think I will let him catch me soon enough.' She went everywhere, moving just fast enough so that B.B. was trailing her by less than thirty feet. B.B. did not pay much attention to his whereabouts; Starfire knew where she was going.
'Some place where we can be alone, where no one would expect to find us.' Starfire dashed into a dark building, grinning as she looked back. Sure enough, B.B. followed up in his relentless pursuit. 'Is this the right place? I guess it will have to do!' She allowed herself to touch down on the ground. "No more chasing me, please!" She hollered at him, pretending to be tired out. Beast Boy was naturally suspicious; he began to creep slowly up to her. 'What is that girl up to?' Star was hardly the type to be exhausted so easily; 'She's Miss Energy! How can she-? oh well!'
"Okay, Star...hand over my wallet! Nice and easy...," Beast Boy looked about his surroundings. By now, the day was coming to a close; night had begun its reign. But in this building, it was very hard to tell; there was very little lights in here! It was hard for him to make out where they were; 'Wait, are we in...a corn field?' B.B. frowned slightly. 'Where are we now?' Starfire held up the wallet, waving it in a tantalizing fashion, catching B.B.'s attention once more. "Hey there, Beastie. I have your wallet right here!"
'oh, who cares where we are? All that matters...is this little game of cat and mouse!' B.B. approached her resolutely, determined not to let her escape again. 'Well, no matter...This game was fun while it lasted!' He sniggered as he prepared to leap. "Hand over my wallet, Starfire! I've got you cornered! Now I've got you, my pretty!" Starfire fiegned innocence, as she stood in the middle of the cornfield. She pouted at him, and he raised an eyebrow in response. 'He has no idea who had caught whom! "Aren't you the bossy, dominating type!" Beast Boy countered back playfully. "Aren't you the frisky vixen, trying to act all innocent!" Starfire backed up, calculating when to make her move. 'Steady, steady...now!' She intentionally allowed herself to trip on a fallen branch. "Oop!" She squeaked aloud.
"Ha ha! Now I've got you! Can't run anymore, can you, Starfire!" Beast Boy sprang on top of Starfire, grinning triumphantly. 'Can't escape from me any longer, my sweet!' "You will not regain your money purse; not over my dead body!" She taunted him. 'Come on, do it! Do it!' Starfire still held her hands high over her head, trying to make Beast Boy reach for his prized possession. She was giggling uncontrollably, her whole body shaking with her laughter. "Get off me, you perv! I know you are desperate to get laid, but that does not mean you have to hump my leg!" 'This chick!' He hid his embarrassment with a smirk. Starfire's heart was pounding hard; 'Will this work?'
Away from Me
"""I hold my breath as this life starts to take its toll.
I hide behind a smile, as this perfect plan unfolds.
But, oh God, I feel I've been lied to...
Lost all the faith in the things I have achieved,
And I!"""
"That's not going to stop me, Starfire!" He took the bait, stretching himself and flattening himself out for a better reach. 'Uh, Beast Boy, don't you think you're a bit too close to Star? You are laying on top of her!' B.B. flushed at the thought, but disregarded it. 'Almost got it...almost...' The two teens thought at once. Beast Boy's face was less than an inch away from Star's. 'Good enough.' Starfire allowed B.B. to grab his wallet. B.B.'s hands closed over the money parcel. 'Ha! I won!' He winked down at Starfire. 'You are mine now, B.B.'
"I've got it!" Starfire smiled up at him. "So have I." She abruptly rolled positions before he could stand up. B.B. went down with a giant sweat drop forming on his forehead. 'Huh? What is she doing?' He blinked twice, looking uncertainly up at Starfire. She was gazing at him...in a way that reallywas starting to turn...something on. "You can run away now, you know that, do you not, Beast Boy? You know you can get away from me...Let us see if you want to, though!" B.B. tried to get up; his body refused to obey. His mind began to be overwhelmed with sensations.
"""I've woken now...to find myself,
In the shadows of all I have created!
I'm longing to...be lost in you,
Away from this place I have made...
Won't you take me away from me!"""
'Wait ! This can't be happening! My self control! Failing! I must-! Oh man, this is...something! That felt nice! I kind of like this...Stop! No no no!' He tried a vain attempt shake off his desires. "I must not think-!" 'Provocative? No, no, Beast Boy, resist the urge! Don't give in! I command you-!' "Wha-? Starfire? What are you-!" Starfire put her arms around his neck. 'Let us see where your button lies.' She breathed against his throat, making him shudder involuntarilly. The warm sensations she was giving him were intoxicating to his poor, unprepared mind.
'Losing...battle! I...can't...help it! Want this...now!' B.B. closed his eyes, relaxing his tense muscles. "Starfire...," He tried to protest, but his tone was far more submissive than Starfire imagined. B.B. felt vulnerable...'But this isn't the worst time to be feeling this.' Starfire looked him straight in the eyes. 'Time to play with my little boy toy,' She grinned. "So, what do you want to do now, B.B.? I will not make you do what you do not wish to do. Want me to be a proper lady, and let you up?" She made as if to rise. Beast Boy gazed up at her with disappointment.
"""Crawling through this world, as dis-ease flows through my veins...
I look into myself, but my own heart has changed...
I can't go on like this...I loathe all I've become!"""
'No, not now!' As she had predicted, B.B. was not willing to stop just now; his self control had been cast to the winds. 'I'm not letting this opportunity pass...not like last time!' B.B. wrapped his arms around her waist vehemently. "No! Please, stay, Starfire. Please," Here he bit his lips, "I want this." His eyes conveyed his wants clearly to Starfire, "And I want you." Starfire kissed the tip of his nose. "My, Macho man sure has taken a turn to wimpsville, now has he?" She chuckled as B.B. glared up at her with mild outrage in his eyes. "Hey! You didn't have to put it like tha-!" Star silenced him with a pouty glare. "I am playing, B.B. Besides, Mr. Tough Guy does not suit someone as sweet as you." He gazed into her eyes...those pretty jade eyes...B.B. was fully mesmerized at the sight of them.
"Maybe you're right about that..." Starfire pressed herself against him, enjoying the feeling of him squirming with light discomfort as she placed all her weight over him. 'Hmm...someone's been working out.' She bit her lip, admiring him for the first time up close. His eyes strayed over her, doing the same in return. His hands were running across the sides of her body, making her flesh tingle wherever his hands strayed. For a few minutes, they simply lay there, saying nothing, but expressing themselves with their eyes and hands. "Pretty...," B.B. murmured quietly. "So are you!" B.B. smirked despite himself. "Girls are pretty, and guys are handsome, Star." She simply arched an eyebrow twice at him. "You know what I mean." She winked sweetly, before making her move.
"""I've woken now...to find myself,
In the shadows of all I have created!
I'm longing to, be lost in you,
Away from this place I have made...
Won't you take me away from me!"""
"Smile for me, B.B.!" She brought his face closer to hers. B.B. tried one last attempt to control the situation. "star-!" Starfire did not let him. 'Let us give him a sampler, shall we?' She rubbed her face against his neck, quickly bringing B.B.'s protest to a screeching halt. Her hair brushed across his face, tantalizing his senses of touch and smell. His breaths were coming in faster and faster, as his attempts to calm down failed. Starfire's breath was controlled and relaxed; she would draw this moment as long as she needed. B.B. rolled positions this time so he was on top of her. "Hold still a moment, please." Starfire obeyed him. He began to give soft love bites on Starfire's throat, making her whimper ever so slightly. B.B. growled, drawing shivers from Starfire.
"Wow, this getting kind of kinky...," He murmured as planted a trail of kisses starting from the base of neck, all the way up to her cheeks. "Tell me about it." Starfire rolled back on top, holding his face with both her hands. The couple stared at one another, waiting to see who'd be first to begin the festivities. Beast Boy found he could not wait. "What are you waiting for?" He pressed his nose against hers, enjoying the sensation immensely. 'Apparently, so is she.' Starfire's eyes were closed tightly; she was savoring the moment.
"""Lost in a dying world, I reach for something more...
I have grown so weary of this lie I live!"""
"B.B.?" Beast Boy paused to gaze lovingly at her. "Hmm?" She smirked at him. "You know we are making out in the Haunted House!" B.B. rolled his eyes as he finally realized why they were in the middle of a cornfield. Nearby, a scarecrow stood, facing away from them. He could clearly see people going in and out of the rooms, as fake ghosts and zombies thrilled the comers and goers. He gazed pleasurably at the tittering Starfire. "What! Of all the places! You have the wierdest choice for a love scene, Starfire!" He kissed her cheek, and then her chin. "But I enjoy your originality!" They chuckled at one another. Starfire stopped first to gaze at him. "B.B.? You know I love you, do you not?" She looked at him expectantly.
"Of course I do, Starfire." He smiled playfully, and then turned serious. "Starfire? You've made this the best day of my life... Just don't let me go, please? What I'm trying to say is...I love you too." She nodded assent. He grinned once more. 'Time to start the fireworks!' B.B. stopped rubbing noses, and plunged ahead. He closed his own eyes as his lips touched hers, at first only a soft brush. Surprisingly, he was not feeling embarrassed as he thought he would; he felt bold, not to mention a void within him...seemed to be filled to the brim. All thoughts of their other dream lovers faded out from their minds, their concerns only for one another. Her tongue snaked out from closed lips, and he willingly began to suck on it.
"""I've woken now, to find myself,
In the shadows of all I have created...
I'm longing to, be lost in you...I!
I've woken now, to find myself,
I'm lost in the shadows on my own!
I'm long to...be lost in you..."""
"Stay with me..," Star groaned as she began to nibble on his ear. She placed her arms behind his head and drew him in, making certain he would not draw away too soon. B.B. was willing not to disappoint; he would last as long as he could. The couple began to roll about, moaning softly as their desires took over their conscious thoughts...B.B. grinned as Starfire continued to cry out each time he nibbled on a sensitive spot on her neck. He laughed as he made a crude jest at her expense. "All right, you can come now." Starfire blushed deeply as she drew him back in. She whispered into his ear before she began to ministrate to him, enjoying his own groans. She cooed softly to him. "Just kiss me, my furry fool."
"""Away from me..."""

Day: Number 12
Points Of View Intertwined: Starfire, Beast Boy, Cyborg
Location: Selevence Fair
Setting: Roller Coaster Ride!
Time: 5:05 P.M.
"Come on, Star! Don't tell me you're scared of a roller coaster ride?! Haven't you ever been on one of these?! It'll be thrilling!" Beast Boy was currently trying to encourage an oddly stubborn Starfire to get on the roller coaster. Starfire tried to back away from the steel carts linked together. She bit her lip as she began to protest. "I have visited the Ferris Wheel before, but I have never gone on a ride on this...roller coaster, as you call it...I do not wish to suffer cardiac arrest!" Beast Boy gave her a skeptical look.
"What makes you think you'll suffer that?! And who told you about cardiac arrest, in the first place?!" Starfire simply pointed at a sign next to B.B. He skimmed through what it said. "Warning! May incite Cardiac Arrest to the elderly, or those with heart problems." He began waving his arms up and down at her. "This only applies to the sick and elderly! You're neither one of those!" Starfire shook her head, spreading her arms out. "I still refuse to join this insane joy ride of yours, Beast Boy." B.B. pouted at her, and smiled. "Don't be ridiculous! You won't get hurt!" Starfire still did not look very reassured.
'Okay, I'll try another ploy...' "All right Starfire, I'll have fun without you! See you soon!" Starfire began to make her escape. 'Okay, that is a relief.' She waved a her hands at him in a bye-bye motion. "Yes, see you soon!" B.B. stared at her, nearly falling over. He got up in a flash and felt a slight vein beginning to burst on his forehead. He shook his head as he intercepted Starfire's escape route. 'No, that definitely was not what I had in mind...' "No, no, wait, wait!" Beast Boy began to slowly push a resisting Starfire towards the car. 'Geez, she's quite strong, actually.' He was having a hard time moving her; she was leaving two trails of lines through the dirt. "Come on, you don't now what you're missing!"
"I do not wish to go!" Starfire leapt up and hovered over Beast Boy's head, so she would not be moved by him anymore. Beast Bo began hollering at her. "Hey, come back down here! Don't make me go up there, Star!" 'He looks so funny when he's mad.' She smiled down at him, and stuck her tongue at him. "Come and get me down from here, huh, B.B.?" Beast Boy slapped his face in frustration. He sighed as he looked up at her, thinking fast. "How can I get her to have some fun?! I thought she loved these things!" 'And I'd really loved it if she'd go with me...' B.B. slumped his shoulders and sighed. 'Really, though...I should respect her decision." He looked wanly up at her. 'Oh well...can't have everything, as they said.' His conscience berated him soundly.
'That's no way to treat her! If she doesn't want to go, let it go! Respect her wishes...its all about regarding others feelings over yours, remember?' Beast Boy nodded mentally. 'Chill out, you're right.' He resigned himself to a solo act. "Okay, you win. I won't make you go on, Starfire. I'll see you later." He waved at her and turned to get on the ride all by himself. 'Oh well...it wasn't nice forcing her on it, anyway.' Starfire watched him go, thinking. 'I am profoundly frightened by this odd earthly contraption...but Beast Boy seems to think it is safe enough...maybe I really should try it? Besides,' She smiled brightly as he sat himself down, 'I will be able to sit by his side.' Star made her final decision just then.
"Here we go...eh?" Beast Boy had just fastened his seat belts when a slight gust of wind blew by his side. He turned and found Starfire sitting there, right next to him, looking as calm and happy as can be. 'I thought she said she wasn't going to get on?" A large question mark began to float above B.B.'s head. Starfire began to clap her hands heartilly. "Aren't you just glad we will be sharing this experience together?" Beast Boy shook of his confusion and grinned. 'Of course I am glad.' "Glad you can join me, Starfire...here, let me help." Beast Boy secured the seat belt around her waist, securing her down, at the same time making sure his was properly strapped down.
"Okay, now just relax, Star...you're in for a treat!" Starfire ruffled Beast Boy's hair. "All right. I will!" The cart was okay; it was slightly cramped, but Star couldn't care any less. Six cars, two people each one held; making for twelve passengers. At first, it began slow..."This is not so bad," Starfire commented at first. B.B. gave her a side long look. Starfire's smile faltered as the cart began to pick up speed. "Trust me, it gets much worse than this!" Gradually the speed rose in excess of 75 miles per hour, roughly adding five miles to every three minutes. Starfire's eyes were wide as saucers as the cart reached the summit of a hill...'Get me out of here!' Her mind screamed.
"Oh no!!!" Starfire yelled out as the ride went down the first free fall. "Wahoo!" Beast Boy yelled out in delight; Starfire was screaming her head off, yelling for her life. The whole ride kept going up and down, through loops, spirals, and a few freefalls. Since it was moving at dizzying speeds, B.B. suffered temporary dizziness; Starfire was almost literally seeing stars. "Help me! How do you stop this crazy thing?!" Starfire began to scream in fear. To her, everything was zipping by in a scary blur, the world seeming to tilt at insane, kaliedoscopic angles.
"Calm down, Starfire! Just relax! What doesn't kill you will make you stronger!" B.B. spoke idly. Starfire was so close to B.B. when she yelled that he began to see stars floating into his vision. B.B. swore his hair was not being blown away by the speed of the ride; more like the force Starfire was screaming at him. "How can I relax when I feel like I am going to dieeee!" As interesting as it seemed, Star couldn't help feel scared of the pace they were going at, considering everything was zipping by so quick. 'Earthlings certianly have the wierdest taste for fun!!!'
" Beast Boy, I am going to kill you!" She shrieked aloud, her eyes clamped shut. Starfire tried desperately to find anything to hold onto...her hand strayed over Beast Boy's open fist. B.B. found his hand occupied with Starfire's at that moment. 'Hmm...This is sweet!' He squeezed her hand reassuringly. 'It's okay, Starfire...don't be afraid.' Starfire gripped his hand even tighter in response, causing some painful resizing of B.B.'s gloved hand. Beast Boy squirmed at first in discomfort. He cringed slightly, trying to endure the pain.'Yeow! Star, you certainly have a strong grip! Guess I'm sharing the pain, eh?' Starfire could not stop screaming; she did not even to pause for a breather! B.B. looked at her in concern.
'Maybe coaxing her to ride a rollercoaster was a bad idea after all.' The ride came to a stop six minutes later. Everyone on board enjoyed it...but Starfire was too frightened to even notice. She sat wide eyed, unable to scream for a hoarse throat, her chest rising and falling rapidly, as if she'd run through two marathons without water or rest. She was trembling, and barely reacted as Beast Boy whispered into her ear. "Uh, Star, ride's over...Um, you're safe?" Star only nodded dumbly, shakilly getting to her feet. 'Ooh...shoot. Now I'm in for it.' B.B. helped her out of the car guiltilly. Starfire was hyperventilating; Beast Boy had to rub her back reassuringly to calm the poor girl down.
'You jack ass!' His mind yelled at him. 'I know, I know...I'm sure going to regret this!' 'What an insane rush! I will never ride on any such questionably contraption ever again! That was too scary!' Starfire's breathing returned to normal after three minutes. Beast Boy flinched as her quaking form turned to face him. "B-b-beast Boy?" She collapsed forward, making Beast Boy grip her by the arms and right her, before she could fall down. Starfire held onto his shoulders for support, to stabilize herself. Her legs were wobbly, and her eyes weren't exactly focusing correctly.
"Just d-d-don't e-e-ever do that a-a-again!" She stated in a trembling voice. She was not angry nor spiteful; just shaken out of her wits, temporarily. 'He simply wanted me to have fun...he could not possibly foresee the end result...,' She gazed at him from the corner of her eye, 'And at least he got what he wanted.' Yes, Starfire did go in under her own decision...but Beast Boy had to admit, he had insisted. He placed an arm about her shoulders to support her shaking form, and began to walk a bit of a distance away. "Here. Lean on me." Starfire nodded. She leaned her head against his neck, unaware of the soft glances bystanders were giving the couple. "Just h-h-hold me...p-p-please?"
"There, there...I'm truly sorry for scaring you out of your mind...I won't, Starfire, I promise." Beast Boy led her away from the ride and sat her down on a bench nearby. They sat silently for about a minute. 'Well, I guess I'll start!' B.B. smiled lopsidedly at her. "Uh, want to kill me now?" Starfire was still quaking, but managed a smile. She slapped him playfully on the shoulder. "N-n-no, I don't want to. Y-y-you're too m-m-much of a nice g-g-guy to get rid of s-s-so easily. Umm, c-c-can I have a drink? I-I-I am quite thirsty." Beast Boy patted her shoulder. "It's the least I can do for you. Any preferences?" Starfire looked up at him warmly.
"L-l-lemonade will do fine...Iced p-p-please." Beast Boy winked roguishly at her. "Coming right up!" He zipped off in his quest for an iced lemonade. So intent was he on his search that he did not even see a shabbily disguised cyborg pass him by. Cy was looking suspiciously left and right. 'I knew I saw them around here; they just left that rollercoaster! Snapped up two good photoes out of that one...well, they can't be too far-!' A voice distracted him from his work. "Gotta get iced lemonade, gotta get-!" 'Someone in need of assistance. Well, I've been all over this park by now, so I guess it wouldn't hurt to make someone's day a little easier...' Cyborg was so caught up in his search he did not register Beast Boy. It was only natural for him to aid a 'stranger,' so Without thinking he tapped the passing-by B.B.'s shoulder.
Day: Number 12
Point Of View: Cyborg
Location: Selevence Fair
Setting: Streets crowded with People
Time: 5:35 P.M.
"Huh?" Cy pointed quietly to his left. "Yo. Iced lemonade. That direction. Trust me." B.B. smiled absently at the man. "Thanks, dude." Beast Boy ran in that direction. Only then did Cy really get a close look of who he'd accosted. He let out a surprised yelp. "Yow! Oh, man...that was too close! Well, at least I found them...," He looked about...and groaned loudly. "No, no, no!" The fanboys were back...but at least they hadn't seen Star...yet. Currently, they were lingering only twenty feet from where Starfire was seated. Only the fact that she was sitting down prevented any of them from seeing her...but if they moved up just a bit further...Cyborg began to stomp the ground in frustration. "Goddamnit! How can I do my work if they don't leave us all alone?!" Cyborg began to steam at the ears. 'Wait...they know that I know them! Maybe they'll tail me instead? If we can't all have a little peace, maybe I can manufacture some for our dear couple!"
Cyborg made his mind up. He walked resolutely, away from where Starfire was sitting. He purposely waved at the group of fanboys in passing. As he had predicted, the group began to move animatedly towards him. He smirked at the sight of these people. 'Catch me if you can!' Cyborg winked at them, and made a run for it. He could hear them sprint after him, yelling out for him to stop, or asking where Starfire was. "Slow down, man! We just want to know where Starfire is, that's all!" 'Ain't telling no one! No dice!' Cyborg ferverently hoped he would succeed in getting these village idiots away from Beast Boy and Starfire. "Those two deserve a break...hope they make the best of it!" Cyborg ran deeper into the Fair, making sure he didn't stay out of their sight for very long. He grinned to himself, knowing that he'd never be able to tell Starfire and Beast Boy of this misadventure...'This'll be my gift to you guys...have a nice day!'
Day: Number 12
Points Of View Intertwined: Starfire and Beast Boy
Location: Selevence Fair
Setting: Park Bench, then the back end
of a 'Haunted House'
Time: 5:42 P.M.
"Why, thank you, B.B. I feel much better now." Starfire sipped her iced lemonade happily, with a content Beast Boy by her side. Beast Boy squeezed her arm gently. "I'm truly sorry for making you go...I always thought that riding a rollercoaster was the closest any person asides from ourselves could get to flying...I guess I was wrong." Starfire waved it off easily. "Apology accepted, B.B. Well, at least it was an experience I will not soon forget...and now you know what part of an amusement park I do not cherish. It was very scary...but I see that you enjoyed it, so it was not a loss." He absently played with the strands of her hair, curling them around his fingers.
"I'm glad to hear it. Least you're not stuttering anymore. That's a good sign!" Starfire had drank up half of the drink by now. She glanced at it, and then looked up at B.B. 'Hmm...would he care for a sip?' Star tapped Beast Boy's hand and offered him her drink. "It is good. Try some!" At first Beast Boy stared at it. 'She's willing to...?' He shook his head. "No, it's cool, really. It's all yours." Starfire persisted with her efforts. "I now. Just try it! I am sure you will like this." Beast Boy smirked at her. "You just won't take no for an answer, will you?" Starfire shook her head, still smiling broadly at him. "Okay, then I accept your offer." Beast Boy took one sip...one long, drawn out sip. He handed the cup back to Starfire.
"You're right, it's really sweet!" Starfire listened to the sloshing inside the container. She raised an amused eyebrow at him. "Seems you've drank almost the rest of it, Beast Boy. I never realized you were so thristy for iced lemonade." Beast Boy rested himself easily on the smooth stone bench. "Hey, I don't drink dairy products, and fruit juices sure beat water in the long run. I guess you can say I love my fruit juices." Starfire nodded understandingly. Her legs felt slightly tired, as if she'd been running all day today.
'It must be because of that little incident with the rollercoaster ride.' Starfire allowed a quick yawn to escape. Beast Boy at the moment was stretching his limbs out. They looked at one another and smirked. "You too?" They spoke in unison. Beast Boy stretched his neck from left to right, listening to hhis neck making creaking noises. "Let's take a rest for a while, Star...I'm kind of bushed." Starfire stretched her limbs out. "Good idea, Beast Boy! That we shall. Mind if I use this for a pillow?" She sat closer to B.B., who assumed she was going to use his shoulder as a place for her head to rest. He gazed pleasurably at her; 'I'd love to be your pillow any time!' Of course, he decided not to say that out loud.
"Of course you may! Yes, please! Be my guest!" Beast Boy laughed casually. 'Okay. He seems okay with this.' Instead, she laid herself out and rested her head in his lap. B.B.'s eyes widened for a moment, and a rather large exclamation mark began to pulse above his head. B.B. began to sweat profusely, his agitation barely hidden behind a nonchalant expression. 'Wha-??! Okay, do not think about anything sexy! Do no-! No, no, no! You're thinking about it! Think of something else, dimwit!' Beast Boy tried not to think about anything that would...jump start his system. He did not want her to find any physical evidence of how much he liked her. 'I want Starfire to know what I feel, but I don't want her to know it like this! I'll be so embarrassed if that happens!'
"Thanks, Beast Boy...I like this spot very much," She mumbled sleepilly. B.B. reddened considerably as a thought passed through his mind; 'Ooh, what a kinky thing to say! Looks like someone's going to get some tonight!' His mind teased. Beast Boy closed his eyes and smiled, 'Yeah, that'd be nice...,' And then abruptly shook his head. 'Oh, shut up! You know full well that Starfire hadn't meant it like that! I never knew I had such a dirty mind!' Starfire felt his body shake. She opened her eyes to peek up at him. "B.B., is something troubling you?" Beast Boy stopped moving and gazed down at her. 'I guess I'll turn up the charm!' His conscience teased him once more. 'Or so you think.' B.B. ignored that voice.
"Nah, nothing really. Just admiring the view." B.B. tapped Starfire's nose lightly. She wrinkled her nose at him, making him chuckle softly. "What view would that be?" She asked innocently. 'Well, I guess I was a little cryptic on that last subliminal message. Time to be a little more...direct.' Beast Boy stroked her cheeks, his face burning a light red. "You." Starfire's eyes lit up for a second, but she said nothing. 'Hmmm...maybe he had other reasons why he invited me to the fair.' Beast Boy began to fumble with his hands. He cringed slightly. 'Uh, maybe I spoke too soon?' The pair were silent for about a minute, until Starfire spoke up once again. "Beast Boy, are we hanging out...or are we...on a date?" 'Well, gigs up!' B.B. bit his lip tightly, his eyes straying to the sides. "I, uh...?" B.B. stammered, unsure what to say. Starfire noticed his reaction. 'Symptoms of nervousness. Heh heh.' Starfire smiled up at his agitated face.
"So, you have taken me out on my first date, and I had no idea about it! This is certianly going into my notebook!" Starfire watched in amusement as Beast Boy began to fluster. "I...I...!" 'Oh, give it up! Don't try denying it!' He decided it was not a wise idea to deny it. He calmed himself down, and spoke his mind. "Okay, you got me. Yes, I was taking you out on a date all this time...I was just unsure what you'd react if I told you what this really was. Cyborg knew I was starting to like you...so he gave me a proposition I could not refuse, in an attempt to force me to move my rear into gear; he knows I'm a betting man, and I never break my word on a bet." Beast Boy paused to smile upon remembering the incident.
"I'll tell you all the details soon enough. He knew I wanted to do this, just I was too chicken to actually go ahead ad try it...Thanks to him, I screwed up the courage...and I finally stepped up to the plate." He paused to brush a strand of stray hair from Starfire's eyes. He gave her a lopsided look. "Truthfully, I was kind of hoping you wouldn't figure it out so soon...That way, I'd be able to get to know you better, without any risk of making you uncomfortable." Starfire smirked at him. She sat herself back up, placing an arm about his shoulders.
"I'm not uncomfortable with you; you know that I trust you! I meant it when I said I have faith in you; what made you think that?" Beast Boy shrugged, his tone sheepish. "Maybe nagging, 'first-time-dating' doubts? This is my first date, as well...I have to say it, I really like you, Starfire...I was really scared I was going to blow it...," Here he gazed down at his hands, "Big time. I wanted to leave myself a back door...so if you didn't like me in the same manner...I'd be able to accept it, and be able to control my emotions before I got too attached." Beast Boy finished, gazing away bashfully.
"Well, that's all of it...," He gazed ruefully up at her, "I blew that, didn't I?" B.B. closed his eyes, prepared to hear the bad news. Starfire held his hands in hers, rubbing the backsides softly. "Beast Boy, why are you beign so pessimistic?! You're always the optimist in our group!" Her eyes were no longer sleepy, though to B.B. they looked a little...dreamy. B.B. scratched the back of his head. "I only act that way, Star. As I said before, I'm not afraid to be who I really am when you're around. You just bring the real me out...," His smile made his dimples show, "Because...I want you to know who I really am, both the good, and the bad. I want you to see what makes me, me. I must say, though, I kind of wanted to hide the 'bad' away." She grinned.
"Oh, stop it. Your 'bad' side is simply a little...too pessimistic, but I do not consider it to be a flaw. I am still here, am I not? You do not see me running away; you did not do anything untoward...except make me go on that wacky joy ride!" She chuckled as Beast Boy shook his head, smiling. "I saw that one coming. You just had to bring that back up, didn't you, Starfire?" Beast Boy chuckled at the pout she gave him. He stopped and looked at her apprehensively. "So, you're okay with...?" He began shyly. Starfire rolled her eyes to the sky and placed her head by his shoulder. "Earth to Beast Boy! I just told you, I am 'cool' with us going out." Starfire squeezed his hands tightly; he did the same for her.
"I was not joking when I said I was having a good time either! I like you too, B.B. You have seen the good and bad in me...and it does not affect your judgment who I am. To you, both sides of me are what make me Starfire...and I know you would not want it any other way." B.B. began to blink rapidly, rubbing his eyes. 'Wow, this dream is becoming a reality! Or am I simply dreaming again?' "This is...unreal! Is this actually happening?!" She gazed mischieviously at him.
"Still think you're dreaming?" B.B. nodded. 'Calm your ass down, Beastie...This is not time to think about jumping her bones!' Starfire knew B.B. was holding back...again! 'He has such self restraint...but I suppose that is a very good quality of his.' She pretended to stare at something in the distance. 'I know just how to push his buttons just right!' B.B. gazed at her with concern written on his face. "What is it, Starfire? Something wrong?" She pointed at one direction. Starfire tried not to smirk as she fiegned surprise.
"Is that Cyborg scoping us out?" Beast Boy stood up, teeth gritted. 'I'm gonna pound tin can man if I find him!' "Where's that son of a-!" Starfire grinned to herself. 'He will not figure it out, until it is too late. Heh heh.' She stood to her full height and approached Beast Boy, slowly closing the distance between them. B.B. was confused; 'Where did that lucky bastard run off too?' He gave one more pass and found...nothing. By now, Starfire had gotten close enough to swipe something from B.B.'s pants pocket. 'Yoink!' She thought to herself. He turned back to face her.
"Are you sure he was there, Sta-!" For one moment, Beast Boy caught sight of Starfire, looking extremely giddy. "Uh, Starfire? What's with that smile?" He grinned playfully. "I know you have something up your sleeves, but I'm not going to fall for it!" Starfire feigned disappoint. "Oh, you caught my act. Oh well. I do not think you will be needing this, then. Later, Beast Boy." Starfire zipped away like a lightning bolt.
At first, Beast Boy stared with incomprehension. "What is she talking about?" He scratched his head; 'Why do I feel like something's missing?' Then he felt there was something missing, all right. Something from his pants pockets...Beast Boy's head was surrounded with pulsing exclamation marks, as alarms began to ring in his mind. "Wha-! Where's my wallet?!" Beast Boy searched around in a panic. Starfire whistled loudly to him. "Starfire, this is no time for-!" Star stopped running to face him. She waved a brown leather money purse at him, and kissed it once. Then she proceeded to slap her rear with it.
'Here, kitty, kitty...Or should I say, B.B...Let the games begin, heh heh heh.' She winked at him, and sped away. Beast Boy gawked in disbelief, his left eye growing huge as his right became a tiny speck. 'I know full well what that means!' "'Kiss my ass?!!' I'm not going to stand for that! Come back here, Starfire!" Starfire giggled at seeing B.B. racing speedilly towards her, a mischievious grin pasted on his face. "Naughty girl! Hand me back my wallet, and I'll make it quick!" Starfire winked at him solicitiously.
"Oh, I certainly would not want that, Beast Boy!" B.B. smirked at her. 'She sure has a way with words!' "Okay, Star...Here I come!" Starfire made certain Beast Boy was within hearing distance. "Already? We have not even started yet!" 'What a dirty mind!' Beast Boy blushed, saying nothing in return. He transformed himself into a cheetah, and tried to run her down. "Oh please, B.B. You can do better than that!" Starfire began to float to gain an advantage. "Hey! That's cheating!" He protested, "Oh, yeah, rub it in, why don't you, Star?!"
"Look at me!" She pretended to do a backstroke in midair, watching B.B. do his damnedest to catch up. "I'm going to get you...I'm going to get you...I'm going to need a rest after this," He panted, his speed falling considerably. 'Hmmm...looks like I am running him ragged...I think I will let him catch me soon enough.' She went everywhere, moving just fast enough so that B.B. was trailing her by less than thirty feet. B.B. did not pay much attention to his whereabouts; Starfire knew where she was going.
'Some place where we can be alone, where no one would expect to find us.' Starfire dashed into a dark building, grinning as she looked back. Sure enough, B.B. followed up in his relentless pursuit. 'Is this the right place? I guess it will have to do!' She allowed herself to touch down on the ground. "No more chasing me, please!" She hollered at him, pretending to be tired out. Beast Boy was naturally suspicious; he began to creep slowly up to her. 'What is that girl up to?' Star was hardly the type to be exhausted so easily; 'She's Miss Energy! How can she-? oh well!'
"Okay, Star...hand over my wallet! Nice and easy...," Beast Boy looked about his surroundings. By now, the day was coming to a close; night had begun its reign. But in this building, it was very hard to tell; there was very little lights in here! It was hard for him to make out where they were; 'Wait, are we in...a corn field?' B.B. frowned slightly. 'Where are we now?' Starfire held up the wallet, waving it in a tantalizing fashion, catching B.B.'s attention once more. "Hey there, Beastie. I have your wallet right here!"
'oh, who cares where we are? All that matters...is this little game of cat and mouse!' B.B. approached her resolutely, determined not to let her escape again. 'Well, no matter...This game was fun while it lasted!' He sniggered as he prepared to leap. "Hand over my wallet, Starfire! I've got you cornered! Now I've got you, my pretty!" Starfire fiegned innocence, as she stood in the middle of the cornfield. She pouted at him, and he raised an eyebrow in response. 'He has no idea who had caught whom! "Aren't you the bossy, dominating type!" Beast Boy countered back playfully. "Aren't you the frisky vixen, trying to act all innocent!" Starfire backed up, calculating when to make her move. 'Steady, steady...now!' She intentionally allowed herself to trip on a fallen branch. "Oop!" She squeaked aloud.
"Ha ha! Now I've got you! Can't run anymore, can you, Starfire!" Beast Boy sprang on top of Starfire, grinning triumphantly. 'Can't escape from me any longer, my sweet!' "You will not regain your money purse; not over my dead body!" She taunted him. 'Come on, do it! Do it!' Starfire still held her hands high over her head, trying to make Beast Boy reach for his prized possession. She was giggling uncontrollably, her whole body shaking with her laughter. "Get off me, you perv! I know you are desperate to get laid, but that does not mean you have to hump my leg!" 'This chick!' He hid his embarrassment with a smirk. Starfire's heart was pounding hard; 'Will this work?'
Away from Me
"""I hold my breath as this life starts to take its toll.
I hide behind a smile, as this perfect plan unfolds.
But, oh God, I feel I've been lied to...
Lost all the faith in the things I have achieved,
And I!"""
"That's not going to stop me, Starfire!" He took the bait, stretching himself and flattening himself out for a better reach. 'Uh, Beast Boy, don't you think you're a bit too close to Star? You are laying on top of her!' B.B. flushed at the thought, but disregarded it. 'Almost got it...almost...' The two teens thought at once. Beast Boy's face was less than an inch away from Star's. 'Good enough.' Starfire allowed B.B. to grab his wallet. B.B.'s hands closed over the money parcel. 'Ha! I won!' He winked down at Starfire. 'You are mine now, B.B.'
"I've got it!" Starfire smiled up at him. "So have I." She abruptly rolled positions before he could stand up. B.B. went down with a giant sweat drop forming on his forehead. 'Huh? What is she doing?' He blinked twice, looking uncertainly up at Starfire. She was gazing at him...in a way that reallywas starting to turn...something on. "You can run away now, you know that, do you not, Beast Boy? You know you can get away from me...Let us see if you want to, though!" B.B. tried to get up; his body refused to obey. His mind began to be overwhelmed with sensations.
"""I've woken now...to find myself,
In the shadows of all I have created!
I'm longing to...be lost in you,
Away from this place I have made...
Won't you take me away from me!"""
'Wait ! This can't be happening! My self control! Failing! I must-! Oh man, this is...something! That felt nice! I kind of like this...Stop! No no no!' He tried a vain attempt shake off his desires. "I must not think-!" 'Provocative? No, no, Beast Boy, resist the urge! Don't give in! I command you-!' "Wha-? Starfire? What are you-!" Starfire put her arms around his neck. 'Let us see where your button lies.' She breathed against his throat, making him shudder involuntarilly. The warm sensations she was giving him were intoxicating to his poor, unprepared mind.
'Losing...battle! I...can't...help it! Want this...now!' B.B. closed his eyes, relaxing his tense muscles. "Starfire...," He tried to protest, but his tone was far more submissive than Starfire imagined. B.B. felt vulnerable...'But this isn't the worst time to be feeling this.' Starfire looked him straight in the eyes. 'Time to play with my little boy toy,' She grinned. "So, what do you want to do now, B.B.? I will not make you do what you do not wish to do. Want me to be a proper lady, and let you up?" She made as if to rise. Beast Boy gazed up at her with disappointment.
"""Crawling through this world, as dis-ease flows through my veins...
I look into myself, but my own heart has changed...
I can't go on like this...I loathe all I've become!"""
'No, not now!' As she had predicted, B.B. was not willing to stop just now; his self control had been cast to the winds. 'I'm not letting this opportunity pass...not like last time!' B.B. wrapped his arms around her waist vehemently. "No! Please, stay, Starfire. Please," Here he bit his lips, "I want this." His eyes conveyed his wants clearly to Starfire, "And I want you." Starfire kissed the tip of his nose. "My, Macho man sure has taken a turn to wimpsville, now has he?" She chuckled as B.B. glared up at her with mild outrage in his eyes. "Hey! You didn't have to put it like tha-!" Star silenced him with a pouty glare. "I am playing, B.B. Besides, Mr. Tough Guy does not suit someone as sweet as you." He gazed into her eyes...those pretty jade eyes...B.B. was fully mesmerized at the sight of them.
"Maybe you're right about that..." Starfire pressed herself against him, enjoying the feeling of him squirming with light discomfort as she placed all her weight over him. 'Hmm...someone's been working out.' She bit her lip, admiring him for the first time up close. His eyes strayed over her, doing the same in return. His hands were running across the sides of her body, making her flesh tingle wherever his hands strayed. For a few minutes, they simply lay there, saying nothing, but expressing themselves with their eyes and hands. "Pretty...," B.B. murmured quietly. "So are you!" B.B. smirked despite himself. "Girls are pretty, and guys are handsome, Star." She simply arched an eyebrow twice at him. "You know what I mean." She winked sweetly, before making her move.
"""I've woken now...to find myself,
In the shadows of all I have created!
I'm longing to, be lost in you,
Away from this place I have made...
Won't you take me away from me!"""
"Smile for me, B.B.!" She brought his face closer to hers. B.B. tried one last attempt to control the situation. "star-!" Starfire did not let him. 'Let us give him a sampler, shall we?' She rubbed her face against his neck, quickly bringing B.B.'s protest to a screeching halt. Her hair brushed across his face, tantalizing his senses of touch and smell. His breaths were coming in faster and faster, as his attempts to calm down failed. Starfire's breath was controlled and relaxed; she would draw this moment as long as she needed. B.B. rolled positions this time so he was on top of her. "Hold still a moment, please." Starfire obeyed him. He began to give soft love bites on Starfire's throat, making her whimper ever so slightly. B.B. growled, drawing shivers from Starfire.
"Wow, this getting kind of kinky...," He murmured as planted a trail of kisses starting from the base of neck, all the way up to her cheeks. "Tell me about it." Starfire rolled back on top, holding his face with both her hands. The couple stared at one another, waiting to see who'd be first to begin the festivities. Beast Boy found he could not wait. "What are you waiting for?" He pressed his nose against hers, enjoying the sensation immensely. 'Apparently, so is she.' Starfire's eyes were closed tightly; she was savoring the moment.
"""Lost in a dying world, I reach for something more...
I have grown so weary of this lie I live!"""
"B.B.?" Beast Boy paused to gaze lovingly at her. "Hmm?" She smirked at him. "You know we are making out in the Haunted House!" B.B. rolled his eyes as he finally realized why they were in the middle of a cornfield. Nearby, a scarecrow stood, facing away from them. He could clearly see people going in and out of the rooms, as fake ghosts and zombies thrilled the comers and goers. He gazed pleasurably at the tittering Starfire. "What! Of all the places! You have the wierdest choice for a love scene, Starfire!" He kissed her cheek, and then her chin. "But I enjoy your originality!" They chuckled at one another. Starfire stopped first to gaze at him. "B.B.? You know I love you, do you not?" She looked at him expectantly.
"Of course I do, Starfire." He smiled playfully, and then turned serious. "Starfire? You've made this the best day of my life... Just don't let me go, please? What I'm trying to say is...I love you too." She nodded assent. He grinned once more. 'Time to start the fireworks!' B.B. stopped rubbing noses, and plunged ahead. He closed his own eyes as his lips touched hers, at first only a soft brush. Surprisingly, he was not feeling embarrassed as he thought he would; he felt bold, not to mention a void within him...seemed to be filled to the brim. All thoughts of their other dream lovers faded out from their minds, their concerns only for one another. Her tongue snaked out from closed lips, and he willingly began to suck on it.
"""I've woken now, to find myself,
In the shadows of all I have created...
I'm longing to, be lost in you...I!
I've woken now, to find myself,
I'm lost in the shadows on my own!
I'm long to...be lost in you..."""
"Stay with me..," Star groaned as she began to nibble on his ear. She placed her arms behind his head and drew him in, making certain he would not draw away too soon. B.B. was willing not to disappoint; he would last as long as he could. The couple began to roll about, moaning softly as their desires took over their conscious thoughts...B.B. grinned as Starfire continued to cry out each time he nibbled on a sensitive spot on her neck. He laughed as he made a crude jest at her expense. "All right, you can come now." Starfire blushed deeply as she drew him back in. She whispered into his ear before she began to ministrate to him, enjoying his own groans. She cooed softly to him. "Just kiss me, my furry fool."
"""Away from me..."""
