WOOOO! Number 2!! YAYAYAYYAYYAYAYYAYAYAYY the excitement is almost overwhelming or however it's spelled! I'm soooooo sorry it took so long, it's just I'm working on another story that I haven't even let out yet and it's been keeping me busy because I want everything about it to be perfet. Anyway I hope you all like it! And here we go!
Landing in the middle of the city I looked around for him, my heart felt like it was slamming against my ribs as I continued my search. I had to find him before the rest of the Titans got here. "Red!" I yelled. It echoed across the seemingly endless street. "Red-X!!" I began to fly again looking for him, "Red-X!!" I yelled.
"You called?" I turned and saw him leaning against a brick building. Landing infront of him I did something unexpected, I ran up and wrapped my arms around him, "Miss me?"
Pulling away I looked into the eyes of his mask, "I was so worried. You just disappeared and anything could've happened. Don't ever do that again." I pulled him into another hug.
"What about Speedy?" he spat out the words with venom.
"Just because I'm with Speedy doesn't mean I can't miss you or worry about you." this time he pulled away. "Why did you leave?" I whispered.
His back was tense and he began to pace, "Why?" he looked at me, "I don't know, maybe because you chose him over me! Don't you get it!? I love you Raven, I've told you so many times! I left because I was hurt. It felt like my heart had been ripped from my chest when you told me your choice. But I came back, and I'm not leaving without you." he slid the bottom part of his mask up and kissed me, "I swear." then he was gone.
I leaned on the wall where he had been when the rest of the Titans showed up, "Where is he? Where's Red-X?" Robin asked, spinning around.
"He got away." I said, looking down. "I tried but he got away. I'm sorry."
Robin sighed, "It' fine. Let's go home."
We walked inside the silent Tower and I made my way to my room. The door slid open and I walked in, lighting the candles as I walked past. The wind from my window blew around me calming my restless thinking. "Why?" I whispered to myself.
I sat on my bed and looked at the candles, they flickered in the darkness of my room. I fell back and stared up at my ceiling, as the wind blew around me again. Suddenly I sat up, When had I opened the window? Getting up I leaned out and looked around, nothing.
Pulling back in I closed it and turned around, "Hello Raven."
Red-X sat on my bed, "Red." I whispered.
"I thought we could finish our conversation. Sit with me." he patted the space next to him. He looked a little taller now but that's all I could tell.
Carefully walking over I took the seat next to him, "How have you been?" I asked.
"Good, how about you and Speedy?" his hands became fists.
I took one in my hand, "We don't need to talk about him right now."
He pulled me close to where I was now sitting in his lap, he kissed my forehead. "I missed you." he held me tighter. "I shouldn't have left, God. I was so worried Speedy would break your heart or Robin would well be himself, or something bad was going to happen."
I looked up at him, "You were worried about me? I was more worried about you. Here I have people to protect me but you were gone so long and I was afraid something was going to happen and I'd never know." we sat on my bed in silence and let the calmness of my room wash over me. "Don't ever leave."
He stood up and dragged me to the window, "Come on, Raven. Leave with me. We don't need anyone. I'll show you the world, places you'll never see if you stay here." he reached out his hand, "Please."
My heart shattered, "Red, I can't."
Dropping his hand he turned away, and jumped out the window. "Red-X!!" Iscreamed.
"Yes?" I turned and saw him standing behind me.
"Don't ever do that again!!" I ran at him and pounded my fists on his chest. "That was the stupidest thing you could ever have done!!"
Grabbing my wrist he stopped my assualt, "Admit it Raven, without me, you'd fall apart. Why are you so afraid to admit it?"
"Because-" I started to say.
"Raven!?" Robin's voice came from outside my door, "Raven, what happened!? Are you in there?! RAVEN!!"
Red-X looked at me, "We'll finish this conversation later." and once again, he was gone.
The door slid open and the rest of the team barged in, "What's wrong?!" Beast Boy asked.
"Nothing." I looked down, "I could've sworn I saw him. He was outside my window and I thought he was trying to break in, I'm so sorry."
Robin walked up and laid his hand on my shoulder, immediatly I felt anger radiating from someone in the room. Red-X was still here. I glance around but couldn't see him, "Don't worry about it, Rae. Let's go back to the main room and get you some tea."
Starfire walked up and smiled, "Maybe it was the mind playing the tricks on you. Come! Let us make a feast!"
Beast Boy and Cyborg exchanged looks, "We are not eating tofu!" Cy yelled.
But BB had already left my room trying to beat Cy to the kitchen, "Whoever get's there first chooses!" came back BB's voice.
I smiled, "Alright." Star flew out of my room quickly after.
I went to follow but Robin stopped me, "Raven. Is everything alright?" he asked. His hand was still on my shoulder and Red-X's anger was still filling the room.
"Yeah, I guess I'm just a little worked up."
My breath caught at what Robin did next, our lips met and I had to use my powers to keep Red-X from attacking. Robin pulled away and looked down, "I'm sorry. It's just...Raven." he looked me in the eyes, "I think, that maybe I-I love you." I took a step back and almost tripped.
"I-I can't. Speedy. The team. Things. Oh Robin." I felt his saddness like rocks pelting on me, "Please, don't do this."
"You're right, I shouldn't have done that. I know you're with Speedy, but I wanted to atleast know. I won't do it again." his gloved hand traced my cheek, "I'm so sorry." he whispered.
I took a deep breath, "It's fine. But give me a minute and I'll meet you all in the main room, okay?" he nodded and left.
Red-X burst from the shadows as my door closed, "What the heck!?" he screamed.
"Calm down."
Anger slammed around my room and into me from him, "Calm down!? He fucking kissed you!! I swear, I'll kill him!" he began pacing me room, "He had no right!"
"Oh and you do!?" I shot back.
This caught him off guard and he stumbled as if I had physically hit him, "Well no, but-"
"But what? I'm not dating you either, and you've got the right? I'm dating Speedy! So I don't want to ever hear you say that again. Leave. We'll finish our other conversation later and this one will never be brought up again."
A small sigh escaped him, "Alright." he hugged me, "I'll see you tomorrow?"
"Alright." he gave me one last hug and vanished with the click of his belt
