Chapter 1 - cpt 1

“Injury”

I don't own the Teen Titans. I only pretend I do. But I don't so Disclaimer (I really don't know what this is supposed to mean or so or whatever…)



“Raven, you're…bleeding…”

She hadn't wanted him to see. She hadn't wanted any of them to notice. But he had seen, and there was nothing she could do about that now. What is he going to do now? she wondered. He may have made a joke or something, like any other time, but this time he sounded worried, like how he had sometimes sounded with Terra.

“Yes” she stated simply after he said nothing else.

“Umm…well…” he stammered “uh, can't you…heal yourself or something? Like….you sometimes do for us?”

“No, I cannot. I actually take the pain of others and make it my own. I would not be able to do that to myself.” When had they started walking again?

“Oh. That must be…unpleasant.”

“I'm used to it. Worse has happened.”

There was silence for a few moments. What would he say next? Was he thinking the same thing about her? Was he waiting for her to speak? What should she say? Or should she just stay quiet? They were nearly passing her room, should she enter it? {so many questionz!!}No, they passed it. She looked down a moment. How long had he…

“Ummm….How long have you been holding my hand…?”

“I uh……I…umm…” He quickly let go and turned his face away. He didn't want her to see, even though she did, that he was blushing. She turned her head a little the other way because she did not want him to see her turn red. They both felt awkward. What should they say to the other? After what just happened it was harder to think of what to say than to think of the other. Finally, Beast Boy looked down at Raven's arm again.

“It uh looks like it's worsened a little. We'd better get you some BandAids or a Tourniquet soon.”

She made a sound that was a little like a laugh.

“What? Was it something I said?” he said trying not to blush.

“Well, this isn't really funny or anything, but `Tourniquet'…well, it's a song that I like that reminds me of the things that have happened…before…” she stopped talking. She remembered those things that have long past. “My God, my Tourniquet! Return to me salvation! My Wounds cry for the Grave, and my Soul cries for Deliverance. Will I be denied Christ? Tourniquet! My Suicide…”

They were both silent after that until they reached the room of their destination.

“Thanks for…uh walking me here, but I think that I can take care of it from here.”

Beast Boy shook his head. “I want to help you” then, seeing the part of her face that was not covered in the shadows caused by her cape's hood, he quickly added “I mean, I've come with you this far, and I want to make sure that you'll be okay…”

She sighed, “Fine”. He started looking through the cabinets for Peroxide while she searched for cotton balls and BandAids. He helped her put the Peroxide and BandAid on {cuz tis pretty hard to put a BandAid on your upper right arm by yourself…}. She did not wince from the Peroxide, even though it must have hurt quite a bit, judging from the amount of blood coming from it. When he put the BandAid on, he did it with such care and love that she smiled—a rare thing for her to do. He looked up, and their eyes met, and he smiled back.

They stood there for a little while, face to face, smiling at each other, thinking their own thoughts. When they left it was only to go into Beast Boy's room, together. In his room, he sat on the top bunk while she got the bottom. There, they talked about nothing and everything all at once {“Basket Case”! lolz} until evening turned into night. When Raven woke up the next morning, she was still in Beast Boy's room, on the bottom bunk, and Beast Boy was in the form of a cat, curled up next to her face.
