Fan Fiction ❯ The Real World: Teen Titans Style ❯ Sunburn (ok I couldnt find a better title) ( Chapter 7 )

Ok I've been mega busy these weeks because of projects and essay, ugh the essays…. Anyways, I'll try to get them before a week goes by because people just happen to keep popping at my house and requesting a party or something lol… well… I still don't have a lot of ideas but here we go (darn flags...-shrugs-). Enjoy?

 

“Wait up will ya?” Raven let out a sigh and scaled the tree as fast as she could.

 

“Ha, only if you can catch me!” Robin smirked and practically hopped up ten feet. He flipped around and hanged on a branch, looking down at Raven. “Think of it this way, you owe me this climb since I saved you from the robots.” He swung around in the tree like a monkey as he reached closer to the top.

 

“GR…” Raven couldn't resist it, why fight when you can't win? She tried to move faster, ignoring the splinters and the high altitude. She was reaching for another limb when she heard a tree branch snap, she closed her eyes as expected to fall and crack her head but instead, she was still in her place, perfectly safe. She sighed again and looked up to see Robin hanging on to the bark with his fingertips, barely able to scream from all the concentration he needed to hang on.

 

“AHH!!” Robin finally fell, not having enough sense to grab a branch or land on one from the sudden rush. Raven reached out her arm, hoping to be able to catch him and catch him she did, but only barely. She grasped onto his cloak and almost fell along with him but fortunately she held onto a thick branch.

 

“…I guess we're even?” Raven gave an evil smile to Robin, even a little giggle; he just closed his eyes while climbing onto a branch, pitying himself.

 

In her triumphant moment, she closed her eyes and laughed some more until she was reminded what she was doing by the sound of her giggles. She gasped and covered her mouth with both hands, as of another giggle would set her on fire. She lost balance from letting go of the branch and slipped, Robin's hand grabbed her around the waist and pulled her back up, throwing her against himself. Raven's eyes enlarged as her face flushed with fear, she looked up at the boy holding her and pushed away, her face burning even more.

 

“I guess not! You still owe me!” Robin laughed, good thing for Raven, he didn't notice her red face so she started scurrying down the tree.

 

“Can we at least get down from here, I am so sick of this tree right now.” Raven said, already halfway down the tree.

 

“Um…” Robin lifted his finger and opened his mouth to object but when he saw Raven glaring at him, he just sweat dropped and followed. “Fine…”

 

“Hmpt…” Raven dropped to the ground and already headed for the T-Cave.

 

“Hey, slow down.” Robin hopped down and sprinted after Raven, who was already gone from sight. “Hey, hey, what are you so upset about?”

 

“I'm not upset, I'm just dandy.” Raven forced the fakest smile in the world, still power walking.

 

“Aw, come on, please?” Robin skipped in front of her, losing his usual seriousness and giving her his puppy eyes, although she wouldn't be able to see them.

 

“Ok fine, maybe I'm just a little ticked off at how when I was able to do something to make me feel like I'm not useless, I slip and fall and then I feel like I'm a weak, helpless girl again.” Raven lied, but only partially. Yeah, it made her feel a little helpless but what also irritated her was… her feelings, the feelings that always bursted inside of her when Robin was near her, feelings that she didn't want.

 

“Oh, silly me, maybe I should have just let you fall then?” Robin sarcastically said.

 

“Yeah maybe a little independence would be nice, do you live to just save people?” Raven said, still trying to lie until she found the idiocy of her words.

 

“Well, technically, yeah. I'm a superhero remember?” Robin resisted from mocking her.

 

“Ugh, just shut up.” Maybe she couldn't find a better comeback or just didn't want to argue anymore, whatever it was; she really wanted him to shut up.

 

“Well before I do, just remember this, I will never let you or any of my teammates fall without me at least trying to save them.

 

“Oh cut the superhero speech crap.” Raven rolled her eyes.

 

“Alright, don't pop a vein.” Maybe Robin was getting a little irritated at her complaining.

 

“Maybe I want to pop a vein, then I'd bleed to death and never hear your talking ever again! Or are you going to try to save me?”

 

“Why are you so pissed off because I saved you? Shouldn't you be grateful? And plus, I only saved you 2 times since we got here.”

 

“Only.” Raven repeated, mocking it.

 

“Ok, fine I don't see why you don't want me to help you, so next time I won't.”

 

“Good.”

 

“Good.”

 

“Good.”

 

“Good.”

 

“What's good?” Cyborg said, while they were arguing they had already reached the T-Cave.

 

“Nothing!” The both of them turned quickly to glance at Cyborg and said simultaneously only to start screaming at each other.

 

“Stop copying me!” Raven said.

 

“What are you talking about?” Robin laughed; they were just trying to start a fight again.

 

“What, do you think I'm incapable of saying my own words that you need to follow me and say it too?”

 

“Well maybe if you-“

 

“Stop it! You guys sound like an old couple or something.” Cyborg intervened.

 

“…” The tension changed, Raven gave a disgusted face to Cyborg and wrapped her cloak around herself, marching into the “living room”.

 

“Cyborg, that's the oldest joke in the book.” Robin said in monotone.

 

“Well its kind of true, you ARE starting to talk like her.”

 

“What are you talking about? How can I talk like her? How can we be like an old couple when we're not even a young couple? Pfft, like I'd want to be one. Why are you doing this? Do you do this to everyone?” Robin said it as fast as he could, his face turning red from lack of air from talking so much and anger.

 

“Why are you being so defensive? Do you have something to hide?” Cyborg bent down and wiggled his eyebrows the way Beast Boy did at Robin.

 

“Come on, I'm not hiding anything. What would I be hiding?” Robin's voice went back to normal as he took a step back.

 

“Hmm… sounds like you ARE hiding something. You're hiding something don't you?” Cyborg sinisterly looked at Robin.

 

“Ugh, I don't even know what you're talking about anymore.” Robin pushed through Cyborg to sit on the stool by the “counter”. He glanced over Raven and rested his head on the table, steaming from screaming for the past minutes. He looked at his reflection from the side of the bowl on the table and thought to himself. “Hold on a second, why WAS I being so defensive…?”

 

“Aw, I'm sorry man. I was just bored.” Cyborg crept up behind Robin, apologizing after seeing how enraged he was.

 

“It's ok…” Robin rolled his eyes and poked at the left over breakfast on the table.

 

“I know you wouldn't like Raven anyway, you're going out with Starfire.” Cyborg smiled while bringing his scraps of metal and tools to the counter. Robin jumped up from what he said.

 

“Wait, what? No, me and Starfire aren't going out.” Robin was almost offended by what Cyborg had said. He seriously didn't want anyone getting any ideas.

 

“So what, you don't even like Starfire either? Are you…” Cyborg stopped there, only mouthing the word.

 

“WHAT? NO!” Robin practically fell off his chair. “What's with the whole relationship talk?”

 

“I don't know, maybe the air's messing with me or maybe my full human mind is starting to make me think about these stuff more.” Cyborg messed with his far-from-being-a-masterpiece-…thing.

 

“Ok…”

 

“Well, before I leave, who DO you like?” Cyborg picked up his creation again.

 

“Actually, I don't know myself.” Robin spun around to face Cyborg.

 

“How can you not know? Ok, Ok, if you could pick from Starfire or Raven, who would you pick?”

 

“Ugh, why are you doing this? It's so stupid, stop fooling around and go work on the generator.” Robin blushed from the question; it reminded him of those school girls, hanging out after school, talking about boys and whenever someone asked that question, they would all giggle and tell the girl to tell the boy, it was actually very embarrassing for him to hear it coming from a masculine figure like Cyborg.

 

“Come on, it would be Starfire right? But I don't know…” Cyborg continued, having a good ol' time.

 

“No! I mean, Grr... shut up!” Robin stood up from his seat and started to leave.

 

“So it'll be Raven?” Cyborg wiggled his eyebrows again.

 

“Will you stop?” Robin twitched as his face turned red.

 

“AHA! You see? I know everything!” Cyborg laughed. “You're blushing!”

 

“I am not! It's sunburn!” Robin clenched his fist and ran into his room.

 

“HAHAHHAHA!!!” Cyborg fell over laughing at Robin's pathetic attempts to lie. “WOO! S-UN B-URN! HA!!” He could barely say between his outbursts of laughing and giggle.

 

“…Will you please shut up?” Raven glared at Cyborg from the couch, only hearing Cyborg's laughing the entire time the two boys were talking.

 

“Yes mam…” Cyborg cringed from Raven's deadly glare and shrunk into his work once again.

 

Robin entered his room with a mind full of thoughts. He knelt by his window and stared out into the sunny sky. What happened to his always calm and composed posture? Why did he just suddenly become so defensive? Why did he feel warm when Cyborg asked? Why couldn't he make up his mind, what was going on inside of his head?

 

“So it'll be Raven?” Cyborg's voice rang in Robin's head.

 

“Ha, I could laugh…Cyborg is so stupid.” Robin said out loud in the privacy of his room.

 

“You're blushing!” Cyborg's words were still echoing.

 

“Its… sunburn…” Robin removed his glove and felt his torching face.

 

“Who would you pick?” Cyborg's voice echoed again.

 

“What the hell, Cyborg?!” Robin turned around to see Cyborg saying what he said before but in a more eerie voice.

 

“Um… Hi?” Cyborg blinked and smiled innocently.

 

“Get out…”

 

“HA! you're blushing again!” Cyborg said before sprinting out, yeah, it was totally too bored here, Cyborg needed something to do.

 

“Gr… I don't like either of them!” Robin finally said, but was it true? How could he ever know? He fell backwards and sat on the floor, mumbling his thoughts to himself.

 

 

Totally rushed. I feel that this whole event was totally not even thought out and just written blindly by none other but your idiot host, me! Well, if you're still reading this, just to warn you. More fluff on the way, too much if you ask me lol. Maybe I'll kick this chapter in the shins and change it later. But for now, I just want to give you people something to hold onto since I haven't updated for like 1 week.
