Author's note: Hey guys guess who it is! First of all, I would like to apologise to those of you who anticipated this final chapter a lot earlier. The past month has been hectic for me and I am really building up a lot of stress. But none if that matters, because after nearly a year of writing I present to you the final chapter of my first fic ever, 'The Loneliness'.
Response
: Thanks for the support. Though I really couldn't help just taking a peak.
Now for this chapter we have to go back. Back to the beginning... of the story I mean. Just a few hours before the actual start of the story.
Enjoy the fic.
Robin paced around his room, his thoughts jumbled together in his mind with a common topic.
'Where had it all gone wrong?'
They were a happy couple. They went on dates, they had fun together,they did everything a normal couple would. Then suddenly they start arguing over petty things, that would leave them sulking for days.
Sometimes he didn't even know what they were arguing about!
Then one day out of the blue she walks into his room and says it would be best if they took a break from being a couple.
What in the world was that supposes to mean.
Does she want to breakup with him? Does she already have another guy in mind?
Come on, everyone knows that a little break always means someone is tired of the relationship.
But he wasn't about to give up on her just yet. All he needed was some friendly advice to get him going on the right path.
Now who to go to for advise?
'Well Beastboy and Cyborg didn't seem like the best candidates for girl advise' He thought, 'The best option would be Raven and she isn't a guru if emotional advise either. But she's the best I've got right now.' Walked out of his room and down the hall to the room of the teenage half demon.
Raven on the other hand levitated peacefully, meditating over her bed. She could almost smile in content at how peaceful and quiet the atmosphere around her was. Well almost...
A loud series of knocks erupted from her door.
'I knew it was too good to be true Robin walked in and gave her a nervous smile.
"Um Raven, you got a minute?"
She gently settled on the bed and folded her arms. "Sure, what do you want?"
He cleared his throat. "Well It's about Star and I."
Raven already knew where this was going. "You know I'm not the best for relationship advise Robin."
Robin still pressed on. "Come on, you know as well as I do that Beastboy and Cyborg probably wouldn't be much help. I need a feminine insight to this ... and you are a girl so..."
Raven sighed "What's the big deal anyway?"
Robin smiled then frowned slightly. "Star thinks it would be best if we took a break from being a couple for a while."
Raven raised an eyebrow. "So?" she asked not really seeing the problem. "That would probably be best considering how much you guys argue these days."
"Yeah but what if she's already got other guys in mind?"
"Oh come on Robin, you two are practically made for each other, and even if you aren't, it would be best to just watch things happen naturally, I'm sure it'll turn out better in the end."
Robin still looked uneasy.
"Look, why don't you head out for a while, have some alone time, calm your nerves..." 'And leave me alone so I can meditate in peace.'
The idea seemed to brighten him up. "Maybe you're right. I have been on edge lately. Some relaxation would do me good. Why don't you come with me?."
Raven shook her head. "I would, but you'd need that alone time all to yourself. Emphasis on 'alone'!"
"Oh, OK... well, see you later I guess." he said as he began to shuffle his feet towards the door. His face downcast.
Raven sighed "Fine, I'll go with you. Geez, I'll expect that move from anyone but you Boy Wonder."
Robin turned and laughed. "I spend a lot of time with Star. She pulls that out any time she wants me to take her somewhere."
Raven let out a little chuckle then coughed as If trying to cover it up.
Robin smiled and exited the room.
Ten minutes later, they were walking down the busy streets of Jump City. A comfortable silence filled the air as they were walking down the street and neither wanted to break it.
Further down the street, a small café came into view. It looked small, but through the large see through doors of the place, it seemed to be packed with customers.
They decided to go there, and as they walked in, they were instantly bathed in the warm air that had the scent of coffee and pastries.
The seats were packed with customers who were clearly enjoying chatting with each other as they drank beverages and ate snacks and pastries that were served to then.
At the front if the caféwas a counter which was occupied by a middle aged man dusting the shelves.
He turned and saw them approaching, gave them a warm smile.
"Welcome to Le Café de Jump City. How may I help you." He paused and looked them up and down. "Hey, your part of that superhero team... The Teen Titans. Wow superheros in in my shop, This is amazing."
"Yeah, we are. Um... can we order now."
The man smiled and reached into a cupboard under the counter and brought out a laminated piece of paper that was used as the menu.
"We serve a different variety of coffees and teas, but if that isn't for you, we also have numerous sodas on ice." He grabbed the edge and flipped it in Robin's hands to the back which had a list of pastries and snacks.
"We also have a variety of freshly baked treats."
Robin stroked his chin as he read the menu. "Um which of these teas I'd best in terms of relaxation?"
"Oh that would be my family's own secret recipe. It is yet to be named, but if that's what you need, nothing can calm you down faster." The man then brought his voice down and whispered to them, "But be warned, taking it in large quantities can have a serious effect on you."
"Well that sounds like something that's to be served in a public café." Raven said sarcastically.
"We'll have that and two donuts."
The man nodded, and went through the double doors at the back, coming out minutes later with a try filled with their order. He placed it before them as they took their seats on the counter top chairs.
"So how do all these arguments even start." Raven asked as she blew over her tea and took a sip.
"It's always the same thing, she says one thing, I say, we disagree, then it just continues from there." Robin said as he blew over his tea and took a large gulp. "Wow, this tea is amazing. Not too much sugar, but still not too sour, and is that a hint of ginger?"
Robin downed the rest and called for the man to bring out another cup. As he approached the table, he repeated his warning about large quantities having serious consequences.
Robin took his donut, dipped it in his tea and took a bite out of it. He took another bite, finished up his tea and ate the rest of the donut.
With a content sigh, he placed the cup back on the tray. "That was nice."
"You sure were hungry." Raven commented as she took the last bite of her donut and placed it on the tray as well.
Robin reached into his pants pocket and pulled out his wallet as Raven called for the man again.
Robin feeling suddenly tired placed his head on the edge of the table, mumbling about how strong the tea must be.
The man took the tray in and came back to calculate their price on the cash register.
"$2.50" he said as he held out his hand.
"OK, Robin pay him... Robin?" she turned to him and found him snoring lightly, his head down on the table.
"The tea has gotten to him. I suggest taking him home and putting him in bed." The man said as Raven took his wallet and paid for the teas.
"Really Robin." She did with a groan. "Thanks for the tea." She said as her eyes glowed white and a black aura engulfed them "
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos" she chanted, a slight echo to her voice as they disappeared from sight.
They reappeared in Raven's room Robin slumped on the bed and Raven stumbling trying to regain her posture.
"Ugh that tea is strong." She said as she rubbed her forehead, clearly using her powers in this state would be stressful. She looked at Robin as he snored soundly on her bed. "Well you're not staying here tonight." she said as she tried to lift Robin.
"Ok I'm either really tired or you are way heavier than you look." she then tried dragging him to his room.
10 minutes and a lot of breaks later, Raven pulled Robin into his room and began trying to lift him into his bed. she pulled him as high as he could, but ended up having his leg wrap around her thigh and his hand around hiis neck.
She pushed him onto his bed, but ended up falling with him.
She tried to get up, but was trapped by his arms wrapping around her a little tighter. It was then that she realized the position they were in.
Her arms had fallen under him and were trapped there as his weight and hers combined left them immobile. His arms were wrapped around her neck and there legs were tangled about in a way that was hard to explain.
Then she looked at his face. Being this close to him allowed her to faintly see his eyes through his mask. He could feel his breath on her face as he snored lightly. Then her gaze trailed down to his lips. Opening and closing slowly in order to push out and take in air. She suddenly couldn't look away, and found herself drawing closer. She couldn't help it, it was like a magnet. She began to close her eyes.
Then a groan was heard below her.
"Ugh Raven?" her eyes shot open as she watched Robin's eyes blink under his mask, he looked up at her, then seemed to smile as he tilted his head upward closed the gap between their lips.
Raven's eyes already wide, got even wider as she felt the sensation of Robin kissing her. Before long she too began to close her eyes and return the kiss. She moved her hand that had been freed from Robin tilting his body and tangled it in his hair.
Them suddenly, the pressure on her lips ceased, and their lips disconnected.
She opened her eyes to see that Robin had passed out under her.
She smiled and rested her head on his chest. She had no idea what just happened or why, and she knew that the next morning will be incredebly akward, but she would cross that bridge when she got to it.
They both didn't seem to notice the shadow close the door and dash down the hall in a pink blur.
Author's note: I'll let you guess what's supposed to happen next.
Well guy's, it's finally here. After almost a year, my first fic is finally complete. I'm so sorry for the long delay. Apparently my unlimited bad luck affected my chances at boarding school, so I'm gonna be here for a little longer. As for why I didn't update, all my stuff has been taken away so I can concentrate on my studies... and just to torment me, but even with all those challenges, I still managed to post this final chapter to at least end this fic once and for all.
But fortunately, due to an unbelievable amount of homework, and my parents not having enough time to help, or just not wanting to do it (I don't blame them), they've finally agreed to fix my banged up laptop. It should be done in at most a month. So once I update and complete my other Gravity Falls fic, expect a lot more chipman27 in your future. See ya there.
-Chip.
