I don't own Teen Titans.

I sit here every year.
Sometimes I speak.
Sometimes I don't.
This year I brought someone along with me.
She hasn't said a word, being respectful, as she always is.
But this year, I've found my self speaking quietly.
I introduced her, she smiled slightly.
I told them how I was, how we were.
She and I.
They would've been happy, she had said quietly. They are happy. She stuck in as an after thought.
I smiled.
That was true.
I felt her link her arm through mine and lean her head on my shoulder as the wind blew around us.
I hoped that she could come with me, she could speak with them, get to know them.
I would tell her what they used to say to me, the jokes he used to tell, the food she used to make.
How the lion loved her,
How the elephant loved him.
How all the animals hated me.
She laughed.
I laughed.
I stood, setting a rose next to them.
She stood and bowed slightly to them.
Grasping her hand I led her out of the yard.
Opening the gate she smiled and took my other hand in her small cold ones.
I love you, she spoke quietly, reaching up and wiping a tear from my face, one that I hadn't even noticed had fell.
I leaned into her touch, then bent down and set my lips on hers softly.
When I pulled back from her, she came down off the tips of her toes, as she always did, eyes still closed, as if she were thinking about it, then she opened her eyes and blushed softly.
Oh her eyes.
Walking down the streets of Gotham, I would point to interesting things, tell her about them, she would listen contently, asking questions in the right places, or when she got confused, which was not often.
When they got to the train station, I wrapped my arms around her, my hands in my pockets, her arms around my waist beneath my thick coat.
Thank you for taking me with you, Robin. She spoke quietly, resting her head on my chest.
I spoke nothing, knowing that I was not going to get much else out of her, instead I kissed her lavender hair.
My beautiful bird, my one and only.
I wish to spend so much more than a few moments with you.
