Fan Fiction ❯ The Real World: Teen Titans Style ❯ I can't think of a chapter name, sorry lol ( Chapter 14 )

It's been a long time, hasn't it, readers? A month? A year? A millennium? Far too long for my tastes anyway, I was beginning to think that I would never see your frowning faces again. Ok, enough with the Slade quote lol. But seriously, Sorry sorry sorry sorry for making you guys wait for 2 weeks and some days. Ahh… It was because well… I downloaded the episode “Stranded” and I must say… -sigh- its kind of heart breaking… well… once you all see it, you all will know why! So I got a little disheartened and didn't work on my fanfic for a (long) while… But, now I'm back on track with a little bit of RxR attack -shrugs just had to make that rhyme! ROBIN AND RAVEN FOREVER!!! ^^ I guess you'd be like “darn it, I waited forever and I get this flagpole!” but… whatever… more fluff … Enjoy?

 

The walk back home was certainly much less tense than the walk to the cave and all thanks to Cyborg. Even with the painfully pulsing wound on his back, Robin felt the happiest he had been in a very long time. Cyborg was happy he was able to help his friend and left them alone as he strode very far ahead of them just as soon as he saw them inching closer to each other. He chuckled to himself when they tried to pretend nothing much had happened between the two and tried avoiding each other but soon, they were once again pulled together by the incredible force we like to call, love.

 

“Raven…” Robin called her name as he watched the clear sky but said nothing more. Raven acknowledged his call and watched his face closely, remembering the beautiful eyes that he had revealed just for her. Robin turned his face towards hers, sending a warm sensation through his body and feeling that Raven was also going through the same emotions as he was.

 

They continued to walk in silence, but there wasn't anything to be said; they spoke as if they had known each other for their entire lives and would be able to communicate through their movements, breathing and thoughts. Robin's large grin and slow breathing meant the world to Raven at that instant, it reminded her of the words he had confessed to her and it only made her want to draw closer to Robin's warmth. Raven also smiled and blushed lightly as the afternoon sun glistened against her skin; Robin finally gave in and gently held her hand, needing to be united with her once again. She noticed his gloved hand against hers and instantly laced her fingers between his while moving even closer to Robin. It felt unearthly, what they had accomplished and were doing, it almost seemed as if it was a dream come true.

 

Raven breathed in the warm air also with the scent of Robin as she cherished the moments, each step they took and every breath they took together. Everything was once again lost from their own world; it was just Robin and Raven, walking together to the ends of the earth. Only it wasn't the ends of the earth and all too soon, they had already arrived to their destination. They both stepped into the dimly lit cave, with the only light from a candle in the middle and from the sun's rays that shone down from the large window. What they thought of, as home was no longer welcoming, especially with the two groping eyes that shot from the couch. How familiar it felt, it had only been yesterday when the same two faces were glaring at them.

 

“Robin… why is Raven's hand holding yours?” Starfire spoke with a hurried voice.

 

Raven gasped and pulled away from Robin, recoiling herself back into her cloak and throwing her hood quickly over her face to hide the bright red that glowed on her face. Robin threw his arms over his chest and crossed them instantly and bit his lip. Raven closed her eyes tightly and backed against a wall, she knew this was going to take place, why did she let it happen? Then again, she had never been so happy in her life when she was with Robin.

 

“See Starfire, I told you something was up.” Beast Boy waved his hands, his voice fuming with rage.

 

“Cyborg, please explain this, I do not understand what this “something was up” is.” Starfire pleaded Cyborg.

 

“Uh… not… a good time, maybe…later… gotta go bye!” Cyborg turned and sprinted from the cave after setting down the small ribbons of cloth that he had readied for Robin.

 

“I'll explain it to you, Robin and Raven are together now.” Beast Boy shot out with ease.

 

“Robin, is this true? You… and Raven, you are a couple?” Starfire asked, again with a small spark in her voice as always.

 

“I-… Uh…” Robin couldn't say anything, all he could so was lower his head and move away from her.

 

“Raven?” Starfire turned to her best friend. Raven stayed speechless and hid her face from light, feeling as clueless as to what to do as Robin was.

 

“What does this mean Beast Boy?” She turned back to the former green changeling after getting complete silence from the two.

 

“It means either they're too embarrassed to admit it or they've become mute.” Beast Boy managed to joke in such a tense situation.

 

Robin finally gathered up all his courage and spoke out. “Yes, we are together.” He winced and waited for an outburst of yells or cries but only received silence until Beast Boy began talking.

 

“Well, then we have something to tell you too.” Beast Boy said as-a-matter-of-factly.

 

“After thoughtful consideration…” Starfire said.

 

“We've decided that we're too good for you two.” Beast Boy said with a grin on his face but Starfire pushed him aside and innocently fixed his sentence.

 

“No! He means that we wish you two a prosperous relationship, for the happiness of our best friends is the happiness of us.” Starfire said cheerfully, but inside, who knew what she felt.

 

“Starfire…” Raven whispered, guilt softening her voice.

 

“Raven, please know that I wish for you to be happy, and if being with Robin is the reason to be happy, I will be more than joyful to see you two become a couple.” Starfire spoke with confidence as she flashed a large smile.

 

“Starfire, you're… a very good friend.” Raven said, feeling guilt and yet relief at the same time. How much this island had changed her, she was so emotional, she fell in love and was actually acting like she should to Starfire.

 

“Thank you Raven, and I wish wonderful days for both you and Robin! Now, Beast Boy, we must leave.” Starfire smiled again and ushered Beast Boy out of the cave to their farming area.

 

“Hey! I thought we were going to yell at the two.” Beast Boy laughed.

 

“Please Beast Boy, let them have peace.” Starfire said with some disappointment in her voice.

 

“Fine…” He said almost nagging.

 

-

 

“Thanks Robin.” Raven whispered to Robin after the two had surprisingly left the cave without making much of a deal.

 

“For what?” He turned to her, tilting his head slightly.

 

“For saying that we were together, it felt good to hear that… and for saying it first.” Raven smiled and began walking towards the couch.

 

“I wouldn't have said anything other than that.” Robin grinned back at her and followed, limping slightly and cringing with each step.

 

“…” Raven watched him in silence until she remembered that Robin was wounded. “Oh, Robin, please, sit down, you're still hurt you know.” She helped him set himself down on the hard couch. She rushed to bring the scraps of cloth and a towel that Cyborg had left on the couch and turned to Robin's back. Her face quickly turned grim and worried as she peeled the blood soaked clothing from Robin's back, removing his entire upper uniform. She glanced quickly at his injured expression and then at his bare chest, blushing quickly but pretending not to notice.

 

“Robin, this is pretty deep… I'm going to have to wash it.” He acknowledged this with a nod as she grabbed the clean bucket of water they had set for the dishes. “Hold still, this might hurt.” With that, she threw a cloth into the water, squeezed the water out and began wiping the bloody gash. She placed a hand on his shoulder for support and wiped gently against the wound, removing the dirt and blood while holding herself back from either throwing up or crying. This was all her fault…

 

Robin was wincing and she knew it, he would shrink back from the cloth every time she pressed it against his bare flesh. Raven threw the cloth back into the bucket, which was now colored a deep red-brown from the blood and dirt that had been rinsed off. She quickly wrapped the wound with the dry cloth and bit her lip, thinking of what she had done to Robin. “I'm sorry Robin, if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have been hurt.” She needed to apologize, she felt so guilty.

 

He placed a reassuring hand on top of hers and turned his head enough to see Raven from the corner of his eye while wearing a grin on his face. “Raven, if it wasn't for you, I would be nothing…” This made Raven smile; she encircled his neck with her slender arms and pulled him against her body while at the same time, draping a clean towel over his shoulders. Robin jumped a little, mainly from being surprised but also because it felt so different for Raven to show her feelings so openly this often.

 

“If only I could stay here with you forever. I feel so free, Robin. I can show my feelings without consequences and I'm loving it.” Raven spoke with her chin on his shoulder and closed her eyes.

 

“We can, we don't have to leave, who's to say we'll even find our way back home? We can stay here forever.” Robin said unrealistically.

 

“We can't do that Robin, the people in Jump City need us.” Raven remembered a similar conversation just the night before.

 

“Raven, I'll go anywhere with you and if you want to stay here, I'll be here with you…”

 

The room quickly fell silent, each not knowing or wanted to say anything, Raven quickly recoiled from her embrace and threw her head over the side of the backrest of the couch, staring at the sun watching them from behind the tall palm trees. It still felt amazing, it felt like a whole new life that was going to come for her, she was actually going to want to stay on this island forever. Robin turned slowly towards Raven and wrapped the towel around his exposed body. He grinned softly while placing his gloved hand on her face and leaned closer to her, wanting to once again touch her lips with his own, when Raven moved to the side, staring at the window, obviously looking disturbed. Something dark had moved outside and with just that flash of movement, she was getting paranoid.

 

“Cyborg?” Robin jumped from his seat, clutching his newly wrapped wound and forgetting their moment.

 

“I don't think that was Cyborg…” Raven stood up as well, jogging towards the window and inspecting it. “There's someone out there…”

 

“Are you sure it's not Starfire or Beast Boy?” Robin crouched off the side, looking out to every inch of the island he could see.

 

“No, I'm dead positive that it isn't Beast Boy, Starfire or Cyborg.” Raven whispered under her breath as she turned to see if anything was above her until she stopped in her tracks, there was something above her. Suddenly, the dark figure grabbed hold of Robin and pulled him down towards the lake the waterfalls fell into.

 

“RAVEN!” He hopelessly screamed, not having enough energy to put up a fight or grab hold of anything as he began to pummel to the shallow water underneath.

 

“ROBIN!” She called back to his name, reaching her arm as if to catch him even though it was impossible for her to.

 

O0o DUN DUN DUN!!! Kay just consumed about 10 minutes of your life. Lol, I don't know, I guess I was kind of rushing this to have something for you to hold onto before the 3rd week comes.

 

I personally thought it was a little (What do I mean a little) too fluffy. And cotton doesn't fluff right when you fluff it too rapidly… it fluffs left… Well, as we all know, this fanfic is coming to an end, I know a bunch of you are like “Hallelujah!” so I'll just finish this up probably in the weekend. May, just not the best month, very very busy with all the blah. So anyways, thanks for the reviews and thanks a lot for sticking with me even after that long time without the updating, and if you thought this chapter was terrible, I don't blame you! Perhaps I'll fix it up or write another one entirely different and stick it on later. So, bye and see you again… on the STRANDED WITH YOU Zone… -eerie music-
