Another RaeRob. I'm sorry, but they're the COOLEST. I'm PROMISE I'll have all sorts of pairings before these oneshots are done and over with. I 've been working on this one for quite a while, and I hope that you all like it. :D It's kinda short, though, and that saddens me, but oh well, all that matters is that you guys like it. :D
Raven stood in the moonlight which beamed from her window. Ivory skin aglow, face glistening as tears rolled down her cheek silently, splashing down on the floor, echoing in her mind. Reverberating, she stood still, death's glow surrounding her. Steel razor held in one petite hand, she slid it across her arm, applying slight pressure.
One slash. This was for Starfire, the only other female in the Tower, her confidant, her pal. Even whilst Raven acted like a jerk, Star always looked up to her, never leaving her side, always eager to help. She was the cheerful one, giving all the others a reason to continue, to keep fighting. Her strange, alien ways were odd to them all, but rather funny. Somewhat of comic relief, the alien princess had found a way into Raven's heart, as did all the others.
Two slashes. For Beast Boy, whom was like the little brother she never had. Regretting all the times she had screamed at him for insignificant reasons, for stupid things. Never did she allow him to catch on that she always knew about his little pranks, and never would she allow him to know that secretly, she loved him like a brother.
Three slashes. Cyborg, her eldest brother, one of the wisest Titans. Cheerful and protective, no harm ever came to her when he was there. He protected them all, loving each of them like family. She filled a void in his life, taking the place of his younger sister, and he loved her just like one. And she returned that love with every fiber of her body.
Four slashes. Robin, the leader, the thread holding the Titans together, keeping them going. Protective, arrogant ways were gotten used to, and eventually, loved. Dark and mysterious, their leader was strange in some ways, but caring and kind. Undefeatable, he never allowed an enemy to bring him down, to bring the others down. The aura of mystery surrounded him, as he hid behind his mask, disallowing senseless, useless emotions to create problems. Each time her eyes fell upon him, her stomach would tighten, butterflies would flutter in her stomach; she would lose all composure and poise, sweat would drip off her forehead, nervousness taking over. She had fallen in love, wishing only to be with Robin. But never could she belong to him, Starfire was the pretty one, the one he had his eyes on. And it tore her to pieces each time she saw they flirted, their obvious attraction towards each other radiating off them in waves, bombarding Raven with emotions.
The final slash. This last one, for herself. Ridding herself of the pain, the unhappiness, she watched as crimson regret poured out of her newly found wounds, as tears merged with the gore, stinging slightly. Weakening, knees buckled as she fell on the floor, bleeding. Sobs wracked her body, trembling as she lay on her dark carpet, head resting on her bloodied arm. This time tomorrow, the others would come looking for her, and find her dead. Sure, they would grieve, but this was for the better, this was a way to put them all out of their misery. Their agony.
Regret rung out in her head, questions popping up in her mind. Why was she doing this? What drove her to this decision? Crawling towards the door, black began to consume her eyesight, everything becoming fuzzy, losing its edge. Before she was even halfway there, she had to rest, all energy, all life draining out of her.
"Help me." She mustered up the strength to whisper the harsh lyrics, but her plea was to no avail. No one could hear her now; she was to die, alone, a mistake. A grave mistake. That's all this was…a nightmare come true.
Just as the dark began to creep behind her, preparing to take her once and for all, a knock echoed through the silent room, echoing and reverberating for what seemed like hours. Violet orbs, glazed and emotionless, sparkled with renewed hope. Mouth moved, words not finding their way to her tongue. Swallowing, she tried to speak louder, begging for her very life.
"Help. Please." More tears found themselves sliding down her cheek, as she grappled for the door.
"Raven! Raven!" Alarmed voice replied from the other side of the door. Again, she tried to form words, and louder now, she plead. "Please…help…" Her words drug on, repeating in her mind again and again. Unconsciousness found its way to her, as the darkness consumed her.
Heavy, steel door was knocked in, as the Boy Wonder barged in her room, frantically looking for the girl. Alarmed, he found her sprawled on her floor, crimson blood staining the carpet around her, staining her porcelain skin. Kneeling towards her, he placed her lifeless body in his lap, rocking back and forth. Lips pressed against her forehead as he checked for a pulse. A weak one was found, weak, but still there. Picking up her bloodied, mangled body bridal style, carrying her into his own room. Masked eyes would look down upon her, tears forming in the corners of his eyes. He hadn't got to tell her how much he cared. And it could be too late. She could die any second now, in his arms.
Her pulse began to weaken, her life slipping away. Placing her on his bed, he softly stroked her lilac hair, the mixed aroma of lilacs and copper wafting from her. Suddenly, her eyelids fluttered open, revealing glazed, glassy amethyst orbs. Pools so deep one could drown in their loveliness.
He smiled, a feigned one, hoping to somehow trick her to belief all was right. She struggled to find the words she so desperately searched for, but somehow managed to choke them up. "Robin…I love you. I'm sorry." She smiled weakly, preparing for death's embrace.
"It's okay…shhh…" He ruffled her purple hair, then smoothed it back down, stroking it.
A tear splashed down on her, its origins from the Boy Blunder himself. A real smile flooded over his visage as he leaned forwards, kissing her soft lips. Pulling away, he replied. "I love you too."
She whispered a forced good bye before dying in his arms, sending floods of tears flowing down his cheeks. Cradling her body, he kissed her lips, which were beginning to become cold with death. Sobbing, he simply sat with her lifeless body in his arms, not saying a word.
Unable to find the will to live, he grabbed a birdarang from his utility belt, using the sharper edge to slit his own wrists, crimson trickling out him, merging with Raven's. Waiting to die, he lie down, wrapping his arms around Raven. Tonight, sweet rapture would find them both as they would die together, forever loving one another…
