Reviews from Regress:
Wiseone21: Sorry about that! I hope you like future stories then! I've seen a few other stories on this site that are similar in subject matter to Childlike/Regress, so there should be other options if you want to read something similar. Glad you liked the story! :)
SkylineDWS: Thank you so much! That means a lot to me! I'm really glad you enjoyed Childlike and Regress! :)
RPGPersona: I'm glad that the subject of the story came across well; I feel like those kinds of subjects aren't discussed often enough and are therefore misunderstood, so I wanted to bring a certain light to them in a somewhat realistic manner. I'm really glad that you enjoyed the story! Hope you enjoy the one shots :)
Guest: Thanks! Glad you liked it! I can understand the feelings part; I often choose to binge read feelsy fanfiction with I'm feeling down. I'll definitely continue writing. I hope to do more stories that either have this theme, a similar theme, or at least a theme of feels, so stay tuned! :)
Hey! So I'm back with this series of one-shots! As stated in the description, these prompts are from Trash-by-vouge on Tumblr!
This first one-shot is based off of the episode "Go!" from Season 5.
Hope you enjoy! Please read and review!
"As a Hello"
The sun shined brightly over the town. Despite the destruction that had taken place, it had been cleaned up pretty quickly, and it was almost back to the way it was originally. The four teens stood on the small island off the coast of the city, with the fifth nearby, taking in the warm, summer air.
"That's quite a view," one of the girls named Raven said. She dressed very dark, with her black leotard and her dark indigo cloak. She seemed odd, distant, but there was something about her that he found remarkable.
"Somebody oughta build a house out here," the large man made of metal named Cyborg said. Like Raven, he had seemed distant at first, but quickly became more open and talkative as he got to know his new friends more. He knew that he wanted to build a stronger relationship with him as time went on; he seemed like a pretty cool dude.
"Yeah, if you like sunshine, and the beach," the green shapeshifting teen named Beast Boy said as he elbowed Raven lightly in the ribs.
"You know, you're kinda funny," Raven said, much to his surprise. She even laughed. It was such a beautiful laugh, one that he wanted to hear all of the time.
"You think I'm funny? Ohh! Dude, I know some jokes!" he beamed excitedly. The empath before him looked almost nervous, yet he found it adorable. All of the other teens that he had met seemed awesome, but she, by far, was the most interesting to him, and he wanted to get to know her the most. He had known that from the moment he had saw her.
The alien who he now knew to be named Starfire was terrorizing the city. He, Robin, and Cyborg were trying to stop her starbolt attacks while simultaneously trying to dodge them. They caused a lot of destruction and looked pretty painful, and he did not want to be on the receiving end of that. Out of exhaustion, she had dropped to her knees on the ground, panting heavily. The three of them were taking shelter behind a crushed bus.
"The girls gonna wreck the whole city," Cyborg said, also panting somewhat heavily. He was wearing a large, grey hoodie that covered most of his body.
"I won't let her," Robin said determined, "I won't lose this fight."
The three of them ran out from their hiding spot and towards the alien girl, with full intent on bringing her down. Their attempt was brought short, though, when a wall of black energy materialized before them. It was something he had never seen before, although it did remind him of Negative Man's soul self. When he looked up, he saw that the wall was no simple wall. Rather, it was in the shape of a bird – a raven.
"Maybe, fighting isn't the answer," a soft voice said from behind them. They turned and looked, seeing the dark empath behind them. Her cloak hid her body completely, and she stayed somewhat concealed in the shadows. She looked away shyly, a small blush forming on her cheeks, and her wall disappeared.
Her beauty was the first thing he noticed about her. She didn't look like the other girls, but then again, he didn't look like the other guys. But he thought she looked beautiful nonetheless. Her skin was pale and smooth like porcelain, and her dark, violet hair floated down her face and neck. Despite being hidden in the shadows, the street lights danced off of her eyes, making them glow and shimmer in the dark. He could faintly smell lavender on her, and it complimented her well. From that moment, he knew he wanted to know her. He wanted to know her more than anyone else he'd ever met. He knew that someday he'd love her, and if he was lucky, she'd love him back.
Being brought back to the present, he felt the sun's warmth beam down on his skin. He looked over at Raven again, and saw the smallest, faintest smile on her lips, and it was a beautiful sight. He'd make a point to see that smile again and hear that laugh again. He was sure of it.
I hope you all enjoyed! I'm not used to writing one-shots as I usually write longer pieces, so I apologize if any of these are awkward or too short/too long. Reviews are appreciated! :)
