Raven
Every day it's the same thing, everyday is like a record stuck in loop. She just repeats the same procedure, and it's the most painful thing in the world. She finds herself walled up in her room trying desperately to block off the outside world. Four walls give her comfort, the corners give her solitude, the darkness blankets her and eases her mind.
Here Raven lies, back against her bedroom door, ignoring the world around her. It was just another day, another piece in her re-occurring puzzle. She sat in the main room reading a book. She never would glance up, her powers gave her enough sight to know that Beast Boy was hammering away on the game station controller, desperately trying to be successful.
She could feel Robin and Starfire walking from the fridge to the dinner table placing plates casually down as they spoke tenderly to one another. Happiness, content, joy, peacefulness. She could feel everyone in the room and it pained her terribly so. Suddenly Beast Boy shifted, she knew what was coming next. His eyes darted between the game and her form preparing for a conversation he knew would end in his demise.
Before he was given the chance, Raven slammed her book shut and made a move towards the main room doors. "Rae why are you always doing this! Why can't I just talk to you?" The green teen had done as he always does, persisted, insisted, chose to meddle when she only wanted solitude.
"I have nothing to say to neither you nor anyone else." That was a lie of course. It always was. How she wished she could talk to him, talk to the others. But with all their emotion, it only made her angry, made her cold, hurtful. She couldn't feel like the rest of them, the idea made her sick to her stomach.
"You can't keep hiding in your room like a hermit Rae! Com'on, ya know you wanna play Mega Monkeys 8 with me!" That cheesy smile he always bore, that torrent of emotion he always cast outwards. It was making her upset, she could feel her irritation rising, the next part of her routine was coming.
"Come on Beast Boy just let Raven b-" Robin never got the chance to intervene, as usual, he was too little too late.
Raven turned on her heel and gazed angrily into the Green Boys eyes, "You egotistical little twit, listen up. I have NOTHING to say to a pea brain like you who can hardly entertain an intelligent conversation let alone generate an accurate SENTENCE for one…"
Robin walked from the kitchen with his hands raised preparing to come between the two. "…You insist on trying to get me to play your mind-numbingly IDIOTIC games and simply REFUSE to listen to a flat out NO so let me put it in terms you can understand…"
Robin was now in between the two mouthing the words Woah Woah Easy Now.
"I will NEVER play with you, I don't want to TALK to you, I don't want to SEE you, I don't dislike you, I HATE you, I hate everything you STAND for, I can't put up with 5 minutes of your company let alone 5 SECONDS!"
Robin attempted to grab her shoulders and block her view of the now stunned Beast Boy but she simply pushed Robin out of the way and marched directly in front of the dumbfounded Titan.
"Do me, this team, and the WORLD a favor, find another replacement for your ex bimbo of a girlfriend and leave me the HELL ALONE!"
That was it, that was her routine, he would try to include her in everyday life, and she would blow up at him and turn the kind gesture down, stomping it into the dirt and then spitting on the remains. No sooner would she finish did she see the error of her ways. Beast Boy's expression wasn't hurt, no far worse, he was defeated, and he felt destroyed on the inside.
He looked into her eyes and forced a smile, he choked back a nervous laugh as his eyes turned glossy from tears beginning to well. "G-geez Rae, never knew you "felt" so strongly about me, I'm honored that you feel for me at all." There it was, the noble jester with his kind words. He would take her spite and give back only kindness.
Raven knew she was wrong, she knew she had gone too far again, she didn't mean a word of it; she was just trying to protect him. She had to push him away, if she didn't use force he'd make her feel, he'd make her admire his kindness, he'd make her yearn to laugh with the others, he'd make her embrace her emotions. That was something she wasn't willing to do unfortunately.
Her eyes were wide and the sound of Starfire comforting Beast Boy as Robin scolded her was drowned by her own thoughts. She would phase through the floor and lock herself in her room for the remainder of the night.
So here she sits, back against the door, within the four walls that protect. The walls that keep her from hurting anyone; the cage she has given herself, a place she feels she deserves. "I'm so sorry Beast Boy… I could never hate you…" She pulled her knees to her chest and wallowed in her self-pity. The sad little girl who can't feel without hurting others.
Haven't made another one of these in so long I forgot how I formatted them before (x.x).
Welp, here you go, Ravens first of many sob stories to come, any suggestions on who I should do next?
*Looks at Titans cast*
Beast Boy: "Duude you already got me and FIRST!"
Raven: "I'm done for one day."
Cyborg: "Hahaha, you got NOTHING on me!"
( ̄ー ̄)Is that a challenge my friend?
Cyborg: (0_0;)
