Fan Fiction ❯ The Real World: Teen Titans Style ❯ sunsets ( Chapter 9 )

Here, I promised that I would update this chapter real quick but I wrote it and it came out really corny. So I threw it out and wrote another one but then that was even worse so I went back into the trash to take out the corny one lol. Guys, thank you for all those reviews. Like before, I checked it and saw that I got 5 more I was like “AWESOME!” Because I usually get like… 1 or none… ^^ Oh yeah, and some of you are interpreting things the wrong way, but I'll sort everything out in the end. Well anyways, thanks and… Enjoy?

 

“Starfire, do we need to go?” Robin said as the Tamaranian dragged him by the heels.

 

“Yes, Raven and Beast Boy are going on a date, why not us as well?” Starfire said.

 

“W-Wait, what?” Robin froze for a second as the words slipped out. They were in the entrance, Beast Boy and Raven were only a few feet away, Raven was tapping her foot impatiently and gritting her teeth while Beast Boy kept talking about where they will go.

 

“Alright! I'm ready for that date!” Beast Boy said as he got up from tying his shoes.

 

“Um, didn't I tell yo-” Raven glared at him again; trying to explain to such a stubborn boy was impossible, he cut her off and began talking about the scenery again.

 

“They're really going on a date?” Robin thought, not really noticing that he was nervously breathing and clenching his fists. He looked at his feet and pensively stared at them for a while until he noticed what he was doing, he suddenly snapped back to reality and began walking, Starfire followed while cheerfully skipping along.

 

“Ok, so like this is a rock. And this is… a…. rock… and- OH yeah! This thing, its… also a rock…” Beast Boy picked up a few rocks, pathetically showing Raven around the island.

 

“Oh god, please hit me with a lightening bolt right now, kill me, kill me, KILL ME I TELL YOU!” Raven's mind screamed as she twitched and followed miserably.

 

While somewhere nearby, Robin and Starfire were also walking around, Starfire was explaining how to grow fungus and making it into pudding while Robin held his stomach, almost about to puke.

 

“Um… that's nice Starfire… lets take this turn ok?” Robin ran ahead and threw up a little before Starfire turned the corner.

 

“And this is… aha I told you I won't be talking about rocks all the time, as you can see… this is a…” Beast Boy grinned and began.

 

“A rock, ok can we go back home now?” Raven sighed.

 

“No, no, that is where you're wrong, this is not a rock… IT'S A BOULDER!” Beast Boy proudly announced.

 

“That's great, ok you keep playing with rocks, and I'll go home.” Raven turned to leave when Beast Boy pulled her back.

 

“Wait, look! It's the fungus that I got lunch from.” Beast Boy pointed at a small moss-like fungus on a tree.

 

Just as Robin had turned again, he saw Beast Boy and Raven just standing around. He decided that the only way he can make Starfire stop pummeling him with unwanted information and hugs is to have other people with him so he waved to them and ran up to them. Starfire followed quickly and nearly pounced on Raven.

 

“Hey Star, look, this is the fungus that we ate today right?” Beast Boy remained at his place, pointing and poking the fungus.

 

“No, I am afraid it is not. As you can see, this fungus is…” Starfire began talking about different types of fungi.

 

“You don't know how happy I am to see you, Beast Boy is annoying the crap out of me.” Raven whispered to Robin.

 

“You're telling me…” Robin glanced back at Starfire to make sure she wasn't about to hug him again. “So I'm guessing your date's a great success?” Robin said with sarcasm.

 

“What date?” Raven shrugged.

 

“Weren't you going out with Beast Boy?”

 

“Nope, Beast Boy keeps thinking it is but I don't consider it that. Come on, do you really think I'd go out with… that?” Raven pointed at Beast Boy, who was climbing the tree and acting like a monkey.

 

“Heh, I guess not.” Robin let out a slight laugh and for some reason, he felt that inside, he was smiling.

 

“So what now?” Raven leaned against the tree, bored out of her mind while watching Starfire and Beast Boy arguing about the fungus.

 

“I don't know… should we stop them?” Robin stared at the fight as well.

 

“Are you sure they're not going to spit fungus on us and try to kill us if we do?” Raven chuckled.

 

“Good point. We should get as far away from them as possible.” Robin backed away a little from the group as things started getting violent, Starfire was screaming in her own language and Beast Boy and trying to peel the fungus off the tree and explaining. Raven backed up too and began running followed by Robin.

 

“Do you think they'll notice we're missing?”

 

“Nope, and plus, we're like 100 feet from them, it's not like we disappeared into thin air.” Robin shrugged and sat down on the soft grass.

 

“So we're waiting for them to stop arguing and then we're going back with them to go back to the T-cave right?” Raven explained the plan carefully sat next to Robin.

 

“Yeah…” Robin lay down and watched the wind blowing lightly on the green grass. The sky was dimming slowly and the air was turning colder but still smelled of fresh grass, flowers and a small hint of dinner. “So what do you think of this place?” He asked, trying to strike up a conversation to kill some time.

 

“Its okay, I guess… it's really nice and all but it's so weird here…” Raven pulled her knees to her chest and watched the horizon from the hill they sat on.

 

“How is it weird?”

 

“Well, it's the whole power thing and stuff. Oh I'll tell you some other day…” She didn't really want to talk about it now; she just wanted to relax for now.

 

“Alright then…” Robin said with uncertainty.

 

For a few more minutes, their conversation was dead consisting with only a few sighs or quiet laughing from what Starfire and Beast Boy were fighting about. Robin would peer through his mask and look at Raven for a few seconds, hoping that she would pick up the conversation again. He had to admit, it was weird here, and it felt awkward near Raven. It wasn't like never felt weird near Raven before, but it had never been this awkward. He finally let out a long sigh and began talking again.

 

“So, when do you want to go training again? I promise I'll try not to save you this time, heh.” Robin shrugged.

 

“We can go training every day in the morning. You cannot believe how sore I got from that little climb, I really need to get more fit.” Raven shook her head at how pathetically out of shape she was.

 

“Great, it's better than watching those two fight over fungus, that's for sure.” Robin joked and Raven gave him a small smile. She quickly turned her head and frowned again. “So, around the time we wake up?”

 

“Yeah.” Raven smirked again; Robin sounded like it was an appointment for a date.

 

“…” Robin nodded and stared back at the golden sun lowering itself into darkness, Raven lean forward and held her head up with her hands.

 

The sun was like a ball of yellow-orange yarn, its threads stretching across the sky and tickling the cold dark sky with warmth. The large ball of fire, the same thing that would light up the day, was creeping down the sky to hide under the horizon again. The sky around them turned darker and beyond all the trees, they could see the ocean shimmering from the sun's light. It was like those silly romantic stories, the ones where two teenagers watch the sunset and all of a sudden, they start kissing. That was what Robin saw when he watched the sunset, it was too weird. Was he really watching the sunset with Raven?

 

“Well, at least the sunset still looks like the ones we see from the Tower.” Robin finally said, breaking the tension.

 

“Yeah… I guess it reminds me of… home.” Raven hesitated when it came to saying it.

 

There it was again, complete silence. Raven was probably blushing but she didn't know, her world was revolving around the sunset now. Maybe it was because of the silence, or the presence of Robin, or maybe it was just really hot. She couldn't find anything to say but she kept asking herself the entire time. “Why does it feel so weird?” She had felt this feeling before, but she was still unsure of what it was. Was she sick? Was she tired? Or was it something more complicated?

 

Robin breathed in the crisp air as the sun finally left the sky, leaving them cold for the night. He took a quick glance at Raven, noticing that her shoulder was almost touching his; he could feel the warmth of her body from just sitting that close to her. He couldn't take the uneasy feeling; he stood up and dusted himself off. Raven stood up as well from instinct.

 

“Well, how long has it been? Think we've killed enough time?” Robin rubbed the back of his neck and turned to where Starfire and Beast Boy were fighting, only to find no one was there. “WHOA HEY!”

 

“They ditched us…” Raven rolled her eyes.

 

“Aw, where'd they go now? Lets go find them.” Their attitude changed and they started walking back to the T-Cave.

 

“I can't believe they just left us like that.”

 

“Well, technically, we did run away for a few minutes.”

 

“Did you think I would actually stand there and watch them argue aimlessly about food?”

 

“Another good point. Come on, I bet they're in the T-Cave already.” Robin passed by, his cape swaying softly from his steady walking.

 

“Alright.” Raven sighed and followed quickly, trying to hide her slight excitement. Maybe she was happy and she knew why now.

 

Ok yea… sorry you had to wait like 5 days for THAT! Lol. I can't promise that my other ones will be any better lol. So just stick with me? Thanks! I feel like I'm begging lol.
