Author's note: This is SLADIN or Slade/Robin. This is Slash. Take note if this offends you hit the back button. Do not flame the pairing. Songfic to Tracy Byrd's song "Keeper of the Stars". May be OOC because I have trouble thinking as Slade. So sorry if it is odd/OOC.
Late at night and I can't sleep. Well I barely sleep anyway but that is beside the point. Looking over I see Robin is laying on his side mouth slightly open while he breaths. He looks I don't know…pretty. Yes, that's it he is a very pretty boy. Odd, I song I heard on patrol seems to fit how I feel about him even if I won't admit it out loud.
It was no accident me finding youSomeone had a hand in it
Long before we ever knew
Odd to think that the first time we met I was in disguise and nearly destroyed his precious city. He and those idiotic Titans won and his saw my mask and symbol for the first time. He knew was I for Gizmo gave my name. Little did he know my sights were now set on him and I always get what I want. Now I just look at my bid as he sleeps.
Now I can't believe you're in my life
Heaven's smilin' down on me
As I look you tonight
My bird saw my when soon after and came to my side. He realized he loved me and needed me. I was all too happy to let him come. Now seeing him sleep I carefully, so as not to wake him, I take him in my arms and hold him close to my chest. I hold the world when he is in my arms.
I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars
He sure knew what he was doin'
When he joined these two hearts
I hold everything
When I hold you in my arms
I've got all ever need
Thanks to the keeper of the stars
Looking at him I realize that the moonlight is coming though the window landing on his faces. Looking at his face I notice how his eyelids seem to flutter. I love seeing his face now that he does not wear his mask. We both don't now that there is only each other to protect. I don't deserve you.
Soft moonlight on your face, oh how you shine
It takes my breath away
Just to look into your eyes
I know I don't deserve a treasure like you
There really are no words
To show my gratitude
I still don't believe that he came to me willingly. I need him in my life.
I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars
He sure knew what he was doin'
When he joined these two hearts
I hold everything
When I hold you in my arms
I've got all ever need
Thanks to the keeper of the stars
"Slade? What are you doing up?" Oh it seems Robin has woken up.
"Thinking."
"Oh, are you going to sleep soon?"
"Oh, course my little bird."
Lying down with my bird about to drift off I whisper "Thank you" to the keeper of the stars.
It was no accident me finding you
Someone had a hand in it
Long before we ever knew
If you made it to the end please tell me what you think. Nightwingrules out.
