Oh help me remember
The days that were so good
Those nights that we held, held on forever
When we weren't pretenders
We were as real as we felt
Oh I don't want to fight anymore
Don't want the first thing I hear tonight to be a slammin door
Baby let it be like before
Jinx looked longingly as Wally angrily left the room. "You okay, babe?" Cyborg asked, smiling. She faked a smile and nodded. He went back to playing video games and she sighed.
She didn't like this; this wasn't how it was supposed to be. She never wanted them to end like this; in fact, she never really wanted them to end in the first place. She couldn't even remember why she broke up with him. She knew she hurt him…badly. She knew she broke his heart. And her heart was aching too and she didn't know why.
She thought that she didn't love him anymore but she was wrong. She missed him. Even that first night she had missed the heat that radiated off of him and she found that she couldn't sleep with out the hum that came from his powers.
She wanted him back. She never realized that she needed him. She was Jinx she wasn't supposed to need anything. But she felt so empty now, like a part of her was missing. She was just half of who she was and she wanted the other half again.
She never really felt anything for Cyborg. He was just her rebound. She thought that if she started dating someone again the emptiness would go away but it hadn't. It wasn't until now that she realized that the only person that was going to make her whole was Wally. A little too late, right?
She politely excused herself and went to find Flash. She needed to talk to him. She walked the empty hall ways until she got to the room marked with his name. She knocked but there was no answer. She knocked again louder but there was still nothing. She went all around the tower and was going to give up when she noticed the roof door was open. She walked up the steps quietly and saw him there with his feet over the edge. He was lying on his back staring up at the darkening sky. She wasn't sure how to approach him so she just sat next to him and said nothing.
Wally knew she was there, he wasn't stupid. He just didn't want to talk to her right now. After a few minutes of awkward silence Jinx finally said, "I miss you."
Flash didn't no how to reply so he just sat there in silence.
"I've never felt like this before. I've needed something this bad before, but it feels like I'm empty on the inside. I don't like it. Please, Wally, I want it to be like it was before," she pleaded.
He was a little shocked. Jinx never begged for anything. She was Jinx. He finally looked over at her and gasped a little. Her hair was limp instead of in her usually horns and her make up was smudged by the tears that rolled from her cheeks. She looked up at him and then pulled her knees in and sobbed.
He couldn't take it anymore. He finally gave in to his instinct and wrapped his arms around her. She sobbed into his chest; little bits of what she was saying could be made out, "I 'sob' never wanted 'sob' in to be like this. 'Sob' I just…'sob'… I love you Wally." She looked up at him again but this time his face was soft and he looked at her with a mixture of concern and compassion. He wiped a lone tear off her face with his gloved hand.
"I love you too," he whispered and leaned down to kiss her. She immediately gave in and kissed back. After there broke apart for air, they sat in a comfortable silence; her in his lap as he unconsciously play with a strand of her pink hair.
After a while he said, "Why did you go?" She was silent as she thought.
"I guess I just wanted to prove to myself that I didn't need you. I didn't want to have to need someone. But…" she paused and looked at him, her eyes filled with love. "But I do need you and I wouldn't have it any other way."
The two lovers fell asleep entwined in each others' arms. The stars danced above them as they only dance when two people feel nothing but love for each other.
