Eternity
He sat on the roof wondering about life and how long his would last. 'Not very long…' he thought. He wasn't always thinking like this, actually he never thought like this. Something happened today that made him think. The person he thought was just his friend got hurt. She almost died. Almost. But it got him thinking about life, if his 'job' was really worth it, and most importantly is she really just a friend?
He heard the door open but he already knew it was her. She always came up here. He did too. He wondered if Cyborg had told her what he did. And what he said. He sighed as she sat down next to him. "Robin?"
She knew. "Hey, Raven…" he looked at her for what felt like the hundredth time that day.
She looked at the water and shivered. She almost drowned today. Plasmas knocked her into the water. That's all she remembered. Cyborg and Beast Boy told her the rest. Robin had dived in almost immediately after her. He brought her out just as they beat the 'giant ball of goop' as Starfire put it. He gave her CPR and brought her home as fast as he could. He ran off to the roof as soon as she was awake and okay. "Thank you for saving me…"
"You don't need to thank me. I-I was just… Ya know?" he was stumbling over words. That's not good.
"Robin?"
"Raven?"
One of them had to answer. "Yeah?"
"Will you be here for all eternity?" He put so much more into that question than just the meaning of words. There was a question inside the question, and that was the one he wanted the answer to.
"As long as you are…"
That's all he needed. Except this, "Raven, do you love me?"
"Yes." She watched him fall to his knees. He was crying! The strongest of the Titans was crying… she knelt down next to him. Without warning he pulled off his mask and fell into her arms. He cried like he never cried before and Raven held him.
He stopped suddenly and looked into her eyes. "I almost lost you today…"
"But you saved me…"
"And I promise you I always will… for all eternity…"
It Has Ended
