Recent entry: I'm so sorry! Gel is on hiatus at the moment, until I finish Blood red feathers. Meanwhile, I was sorting through the crap on my computer, and found this. I thought I'd post it to amuse some people (shrugs) mainly cos I feel lonely without my little reviewers…
I had dreams about this and was like 'OK, I'll write it!' there's two versions, but I know the second one better so will tell you that. Rob-Rae-BB
Flashbacks are in bold AND Italics. Thoughts are in plain Italics.
Jealousy
"What the hell are you doing!" she screeched, running up to the two figures. Her sentence was directed at the one who was sitting on a rock. He was gazing at the other, his hand propping up his chin, like he was bored. The other was lying in a pool of their own blood.
"I-" the boy on sitting on the rock began, jumping up.
"I don't want to hear it, Robin!" Raven choked, looking at the boy who had she had gathered up in her arms, "he's DYING!"
Robin blinked and looked down at the girl, the man he despised in her arms and his blood on her body.
"You sat here and watched him dying! I can't believe…" Raven shook her head. She covered herself and the man with her cloak and transformed herself into her Raven soul form. Robin blinked again as the rain came down and thunder crossed the night sky. What had he done?
Raven had tried all she could that fearsome night, and eventually fell asleep by the bedside.
In the morning, when she woke off, she looked over at the heart monitor.
There was a flat line.
Beast Boy, the love of her life, was dead.
Raven had never done that before in her life. But that's all she ever did now. Cry.
When she was in battle, silent tears streamed down her face.
When she was reading, muffled sobs were heard
And at night, she cried herself to sleep.
Then one day, when Raven hadn't came out of her room; Starfire went in – with permission as her best friend - and saw Raven's body, two red slashes contrasting against her pale wrist, and an emerald jewel incrusted dagger stuck in her abdomen. It was said Starfire died right on the spot in shock.
Now only two Titans remained. Eventually, Cy entered Raven's room and found the book that had Sarasim in it. He created a replica of the portal that he had been lost in before, and waved goodbye to Robin. Now there was only one titan.
Robin sat on the inside window ledge, one leg swinging outside the window. He felt the wind whip at his face. In the space of a month, all his friends were gone. Three never to come back and getting the other one back would once again be defying physics. And he didn't have the power to do it. Once again, Robin was where he first started.
All alone, and empty – where he lived and where his soul lived.
So he decided to do it. He choked on his tears, sobbing, and shoved the window upwards, the way it opened. He looked down. Four stories sat below him, then the tower connected to ground below.
She won't catch me. She's not forgiven me. She'll let me fall.
But Robin took a deep breath, wiping away the last of his tears, and ignored the thumping in his chest.
"I'm sorry," he whispered to the night sky.
"I'm sorry…I was jealous."
He jumped, the wind caressing his cheeks, suddenly the speed went up – he was flying, falling, not flying. The wind slapped him – like Raven's stare on the night that he watched BB die and did nothing – out of jealousy. He didn't close his eyes – but braced himself for the hit.
But he never touched the ground.
A hand reached out for him, and picked his body up gently. He was already gone. The person the hand belonged to pulled him into a tight embrace and whispered, like the night's breeze.
"I forgive you. "
Okay, sweet little oneshot, which I admit, was more Rae-Rob than Rae-BB. But the reason Rob was jealous was that BB owned Rae's heart. So Robin watched BB die in a battle… or die after an accident, you decide. The first one is more likely.
