Day One: Nighttime Humor/Parody

Heat in the Night

Third POV

Beast Boy woke up. Sitting up straight faster than a car speeding down an interstate. Gasping for air as he tried to calm his racing heart. The sound of a waterfall disappearing from his mind from his latest nightmare.

'It was only a dream. It was only a dream.' He kept on repeating to himself. What he told myself every night he suffered from this nightmare. Or rather, a tainted memory. Turned into a nightmare by his subconscious.

After he got his breathing under control, he laid back down on his top bunk bed. Grateful that he hadn't hit his head on the ceiling this time. As several old dents showed from past times in the months before. And tried to go back to sleep.

He tossed and turned for a couple minutes. Trying to get himself comfortable again. And kept on failing to do so. He tried fluffing out his pillow to extract the heat that seemed to have permeated every layer of it. Trying to make it more comfortable for my neck. It still feels as hard as a rock. The result of it never being washed once in the past year. As well as the fact that fluffing it out didn't do anything to dispel the heat in it that felt as hot as lava.

He groaned in annoyance. Looking at the clock, which says 2:20 A.M., he let out another groan. Beast Boy had only went to bed an hour ago. And that stupid nightmare had decided to come again tonight of all times. When tomorrow was special training at seven in the morning with the rest of the team.

It was times like this where he wanted to kill the Boy Blunder. Him and his need to train early in the morning. On a Sunday of all times.

'I thought Sunday was nicknamed the day of rest for a reason.' Beast Boy thought as he continued to try and find that special cool spot in his bed that he had fallen asleep on before.

After another couple minutes of searching, he still hadn't found it. Meaning it was likely long gone now. He let out another groan of annoyance.

He tried stripping myself out of his tight uniform. Something he never really did at night since as the old saying goes, 'evil never sleeps.' But tonight, he was desperate to cool down so he could sleep. He didn't want to look like an idiot in front of the others tomorrow. Espicially not his girlfriend.

So he stripped himself to his boxers. And threw his clothes on the ground next to his discarded blanket. As he tried to sleep in a style worthy of a college student in a student dorm on campus.

Epic fail.

'****ing nightmare! It's like it literally wants me to suffer today!' Even with hardly any clothing on, he still couldn't find that cool spot on his bed. Or cool off in general so he could fall asleep. He looked at the clock again. 2:35 A.M.

'Screw this heat wave!' He thought as he jumped from his bed. Still in nothing but his boxers. He walked towards the doorway to my room and opened it. A breeze of hotter air hit his face. Making him growl in annoyance as he walked into it out into the hallway. Not caring at his indecency.

'Why did this heat wave have to hit today of all days! When the stupid A/C broke down!' He continued to complain inside his mind.

Yep, just a couple days ago, a heat wave had hit the city. The result of some mad villain who liked things hot. Even though he had been taken down, the affects of the battle were still hanging over the city. Even at night, the temperature was easily topping ninety degrees.

And then, to make things worse, the A/C broke two days ago. And Cyborg still didn't know how it had happened. The only thing he did know was that the parts for it wouldn't arrive until tomorrow.

He walked into the bathroom. Deciding a cold shower might do him wonders. He turned on the water to its coldest setting. And immediately walked in. Expecting to be instantly relieved. That wasn't what he got though.

"Ahhhh!" He screamed out in pain. 'Hot! Hot! Hot!' He thought machine gun mode in his mind. As he jumped out of the shower. His skin slightly red from where the scalding water had touched him.

"So I guess a shower is out of the question." He said to himself. As he walked out of the bathroom.

Beast Boy entered the main ops room. Which was way hotter than ever before. Due to the broken A/C. 'Seriously, the most technologically advanced Tower in the world. And Cyborg doesn't have a freaking backup for when the ****ing A/C breaks!'

Beast Boy continued to stew in his juices. Not even aware someone else was floating in the air in front of the TV of the room.

He moved to the kitchen and stood in front of the sink. Hoping he could splash some cold water in his face. When he touched the running water though, he pulled his finger back as pain took over the burned area. The water was hot!

'First the A/C, then the shower, now the sink! Is there nothing sacred left in this world!'

He took a look at the refrigerator/freezer in the kitchen. An item Cyborg had delivered in last week. And had been the new hangout area for the Titans since the heat wave hit. Well, except for his girlfriend. She still stayed in her room most of the time for some reason he didn't know.

Thinking that this would hold the key to escaping the heat, he rubbed his hands together evilly. "Heh heh heh, let's see this heat wave try to affect me now." He said out loud. Before he opened the doors.

His eyes bugged out comically. "What! Nooooooo! My tofu!" He yelled as he grabbed the package of warm rotting tofu. Yep, warm.

Turns out, the new refrigerator/freezer combo couldn't take the heat. (Then why the hell is it in the kitchen!) As he could tell when the smell of rotting food hit his senses. Almost making him sick. As the only thing worse than meat in his opinion, was rotten meat. And both sides of the once working appliance had been filled with meat for Cyborg's meaty breakfast in the morning.

Despite Cyborg's breakfast being ruined, which would have made him happy on a normal day, Beast Boy was beyond pissed now. As his last avenue of escaping the heat had just closed itself on him. It seemed like the new broken appliance was mocking him.

"Why is everything in this tower that could cool me off broken?! Why tonight of all nights is this happening to me!? Did the universe seem to forget how my ****ing leader is crazy enough to have special training in the morning!? In the heat! Without any sleep!" He shouted at the ceiling. Not expecting a reply.

"Uh… Beast Boy… are you talking to yourself or something?" He heard a monotone voice say behind him.

Beast Boy jumped a little in the air. Before he turned around slowly. "Uhhhh, hey Rae-" He started to say.

That was when he had turned around fully. As his mind seemed to stop working. Like the hamster in his head had suddenly died while still on the wheel. Whether from the heat, or the sight of his beautiful girlfriend in front of him, he wasn't sure.

What he did know, was that Raven was definitely not in her hero outfit at all. As she wore nothing but a tank top. A very revealing tank top. With some very short shorts. Almost showing as much leg as when she wore her leotard. Only, there was no cloak hiding any of it from sight. He was staring at her perfect figure like he was a heat drunken idiot. Which at the moment, he was.

She smirked. The hamster in his mind started running again. He snapped out of his shock. "Rae, why aren't you wearing…" He trailed off. Not really sure if what he'd say next would be offensive or not.

"Speak for yourself Beast Boy. Why are you hardly wearing anything?" She asked in an innocent monotone. Her eyes wandering all over his almost naked body as she did so. Lust and Love were definitely screaming inside her mind at the moment. It was probably then that Beast Boy realized his certain situation.

"Eep!" He went as he covered himself with his hands. Blushing so hard, he looked like an overripe tomato. He glared at his girlfriend.

"What? Don't think I didn't miss the way you were looking at me just before." She said. Her smirk growing even bigger.

His face reddened even more. Which didn't help as it felt like a desert already inside the room. And the heat coming off of his blush was certainly not helping his case.

"What are you even doing out here anyways? It's like 2:45 by now, and we have special training at 7 thanks to Boy Blunder. Shouldn't you be asleep?" Beast Boy asked. Wanting to take the subject off him and his body.

She shrugged. "It was getting a little too cold for me in my room. So I came out to meditate in the warm air here for a little bit. Why are you out here?" She said, concealing part of the truth while setting up the direction she wanted the conversation to go. Not that Beast Boy could tell of course. As his eyes widened at his girlfriend. Almost seeming to forget that she was almost naked. At the thought of their being a cold room in the Tower.

"Wait a second! How can your room be cold when the A/C for the Tower broke!? And every room feels like a freaking volcano about to erupt!" He shouted again in disbelief.

She smirked. God how he loved/hated when he saw that look on her face. "Wouldn't you like to know?" She said in a higher monotone voice. As I'd she was teasing him. His eyes bugged out. Was this his girlfriend, or had she been replaced by her evil twin or something.

But he was desperate to escape the heat. Oh boy was he and the animals inside him desperate to escape the heat. Raven knew she had him now. As he seemed to be having an inner battle inside his mind. As to whether to trust this Raven or not.

Finally, it stopped. As desperation won out. Beast Boy got on his knees. "Oh Rae! Please! If you have a way to escape this damn heat! I hate it so much!" He said loudly in a begging tone. Much like whenever he was begging her to join in a video game with him.

"What? I'm not sure I heard that right? Could you rephrase it so I could understand." She said. As if she didn't know what he was talking about.

He sighed. "Please… can I sleep in your room with you? If it means getting out of this horrid heat." He asked. Putting his head down as he did so. Expecting to be thrown into another dimension because of what he was asking of her. 'I at least hope she sends me somwhere cold.' He briefly thought to himself.

Raven let out a small chuckle. The smirk on her face turning into a small smile. He looked up at that. "Well Gar, since you asked so nicely…" She trailed off. Leaving him to connect the pieces.

And then she started to walk out of the room.

His brain caught up, just in time for her small form to walk out of the room. He instantly started running after her. Despite the heat.

"Wait, Rae! What did you mean by that? Rae! RAE!" He yelled after her. Expecting her to stop.

Only she didn't. As her small form seemed to be staying the same amount of space ahead of him. Despite how fast he was running after her.

He was really starting to sweat bullets now. As running through all the hot air was really heating him up on the inside. Apparently, running around in heat is not the best idea in the world. Still, he chased after her. Desperate to find the cure to this record breaking heat.

Finally, Raven turned into a doorway. And Beast Boy, throwing all caution into the wind, ran into the room after her. Forgetting for a moment why she had left her room in the first place.

"AHHHHHHH! C-C-C-COOLLLLLDDDDDDD" He screamed as the coldest gust of wind he had ever felt in the world engulfed his whole body. Freezing the sweat that had been covering his body. It was even colder than Siberia, when he had been fully clothed. At least, that's what it felt like to him. He was really regretting that he had escaped the heat now, only to be in his boxers.

Raven hadn't been kidding when she said her room was cold.

Speak of the devil, she was standing right in front of her hooded bed now. Staring at the intruder that was in her room. Only, she wasn't thinking of him as an intruder this time. As she was smirking widely at him.

"Now who said you could come into my room? Don't you know what I do to intruders that enter my room?" She asked in monotone. Despite the smirk that was on her face.

Beast Boy, realizing where he was, started to blush again. Grateful for the little warmth that it provided now. "I'm so sorry Rae! I'm just feeling so hot right now! And all the different things I tried to cool myself off weren't working. And I know you don't like people in your room… and… you know what, I'll just go now. Save myself from embarrassing myself any farther." He sighed out at the end. As he hung his head to walk out of the room.

Raven's hand on his shoulder stopped him. "Gar, you can be such an idiot at times. Do I have to spell it out to you?" She said in a soft monotone. Despite the insult that had been in it.

He was staring dumbly at her. "Uhhhhh…" With his beautiful girlfriend so close. Beast Boy found he was suddenly incapable of speaking coherently. "May...be…"

Raven rolled her eyes. But the smirk/smile was still there. "Gar, why do you think every item in this tower, that could cool you off, stopped working simultaneously. Leaving my room the only cool place left to go to?" She said. Wanting him to connect the dots for himself. No matter how many tries it took.

Beast Boy was confused at first. Then shocked. Then realization dawned on his face… then he was pissed off. Did I mention he still felt cold?

"What the hell Raven! Why would you take away my every chance of cooling off! And then lead me here where it's colder than ****ing Antarctica! Did you want me to suffer or something! I thought you were my girlfriend! And don't you dare say this was a prank! Because I am so not in the mood to hear that now!" He yelled.

Raven didn't even flinch. She had been expecting him to come to that conclusion first afterall. "Think Gar. Why would I leave my room cold? And sabotage every other cool source in the Tower? The same night you had that nightmare again? Why would I possibly go through all that trouble? To get you to come to my room."

Garfield looked blankly at her. "Wait, how did you…"

She got even closer. The heat coming off her body feeling so great to his. "Gar, you have the same nightmares on the same days each year. The days you had the fondest memories for your parents. After all this time, do you think I wouldn't have noticed the days you were feeling off?"

"But… how would you know that… that was before…"

She was inches in front of him now. The space slowly closing. "Gar, even though I might have acted like I hated you back then. I didn't. I cared about you even back then. And having the power of empathy to add to it. Well, I'd be surprised if I had never known about it in the first place." She said. Her voice soft.

Beast Boy took a moment to process what she meant. And then started to smile. He'd question her more about the nightmares later. But now, he had some payback to get to.

"You know Rae, I think you still need to spell out what you meant earlier to me." Raven was caught off guard.

"What…" She said. Confused for once at her boyfriend's antics.

"Since you obviously put so much thought into this. I must ask. Why would you go through all that trouble? Just to get me into your room? You could have led me off to anywhere else in the Tower. Or the city for that matter. So how could your room be so special to me?" He asked. Smirking inwardly as he turned the tables on her.

Raven blinked at him. 'Is he really that thick in the head?' She thought. "Beast Boy, how can you not get it already? I thought I left you every possible clue in order for you to get it."

The smirk was now on his face. "You know me Rae. I'm just the dumb comic relief on the team. The handsome green eye candy who hardly uses his brain. So I think you need to explain it to me. Word... for... word." He said slowly at the end. As if she was the idiot and not him.

The look of anger on her face was totally worth it. "You idiot! How is it not obvious to you by now! Holy Azar! How could I have fallen in love with the biggest, most thick skulled idiot on this heaping hunk of-"

She was cut off, however, when his lips found hers. Pressing tightly against her to keep her from speaking. At first, she fought against it since she was still angry at him. Then, she just went with it and kissed him back. As she liked the feel of his lips against hers.

After a couple minutes, they finally separated.

"Well, Rae? Are you going to ask me now?" He asked in a high teasing voice similar to hers from earlier. A blush formed on her face. As she finally understood what he had done. She had to admit to herself that she hadn't seen him turning the tables back on her.

She sighed. "Gar, would you spend the night with me? In my room?" She finally asked in a sort of timid voice.

His smile couldn't be any bigger. "Of course Rae. All you had to do was ask."

She grimaced. "I'm sorry. I just thought that you wouldn't want to sleep in the same room as me if you were given the choice-" He raised his hand, cutting her off.

His smile dropped as he became serious. "Rae, if you had only asked at first, I would have gladly said yes. Heat, or no heat. I'd do just about anything you asked me if it meant I got to be with you." He said.

She started to smile again. Her nervousness gone. "Since when did you become so great with your words?" She asked him mockingly.

He also started to smile again. "Hey, I'm dating the smartest girl on the planet. I had to have learned a thing or two along the way to land someone as smoking hot as her."

"Oh, and what makes you think this smart girl of yours is hot." She asked him in a not so innocent tone. As he pulled her close again.

"Because she isn't hiding herself from the world this time. And I could have sworn that when I saw her in all her glory, she looked like an angel." He said, before he kissed her again.

The kiss was only a few seconds before he disconnected it. He smiled at her in a big way, making her smile just a little bigger on her lips as well. "You know, I think, for once, I'm going to sleep well tonight." He said to her.

"Well, it's only 3:00 in the morning Gar. So I suggest if you want to sleep well, we better do that now." She replied in a soft voice.

The two walked the short distance to the bed. Both of them getting under the blanket and lying next to each other. Raven still in her tank top and short shorts. And Beast Boy in nothing but his boxers. As they cuddled up to each other to keep warm again. Not that they wouldn't have done that if it hadn't been cold. A thought came to his mind.

"You know, Rae. You still haven't told me how you kept this room cold unlike the rest in the Tower." He said as they were on the verge of sleeping.

"Another time Gar. Tonight, I just want you all for myself." She said before she fell asleep in his embrace.

Beast Boy smiled as he kissed the top of her head. "I think I could get used to this. I just hope she doesn't go through all this trouble next time." He said softly to himself. As he started to fall asleep, no longer affected by the heat outside of the room. Next to the love of his life.

Just as he fell asleep, one last thought crossed his mind.

'I hope Cy isn't too mad when he finds his rotten meaty breakfast in the fridge tomorrow morning.'
