10. Resolutions


What are your New Years resolutions? Kyd Wykkyd asked Raven as they ate lunch on top of Titans Tower. It was risky bringing Kyd to hang out in this place, but Raven had a trump card up her sleeve:

She told everyone she was meditating and wanted to be left alone.

No one dared go up to the roof now.

"Didn't make any," Raven replied, chewing on an apple.

Kyd was surprised. Why not? he asked.

Raven shrugged. "No one ever keeps their resolutions - they'll end up forgetting and going back to the way they were by February," she said.

That's really nice Rach, Kyd deadpanned.

"Shut it," the empath chided, playfully throwing a bit of bread at Kyd.

Well, why don't you just make one anyway, for fun? Kyd asked.

Raven thought it over in her head. "Fine," she said. "I'll resolve to...not cause Beast Boy as much pain when he annoys me,"

Kyd nodded and leaned forward, kissing Raven. Raven returned the kiss, before breaking it and smiling. "Love you," she said, before flying off.

Love you too, Kyd's message was loud in clear in Raven's head even though she was now flying far from the Tower. Kyd looked over the edge and saw Starfire flying off carying Robin, and Cyborg riding on Pterodactyl-Beast Boy's back.

Kyd Wykkyd remained on the roof before shaking his head.

I resolved to try and give up crime, he said to himself, smiling sadly as he wrapped his cloak around him and teleported away.

Raven was right. People hardly ever keep their resolutions.


A/N: I am now offering to take requests for chapters, because I'm having writers block. Give me ideas people - and reviews, they're like cake, I can't get enough of 'em!
