Zatannas POV
I placed my hands on his chest, smothering my senses to the extent that I couldnt feel anything else. One of hands went up slowly, leaving a trail of warmth up my back and into my hair. I felt him shiver against me as I buried my face in his neck, unintentionally placing my lips on his skin.
I didnt say anything.
I didnt do anything.
I was frozen.
But I could feel a sense of dread toying with the strings of my heart. Like I could feel a looming shadow over my figure. I tried to ignore it, telling myself it was just a mere anxiety, but the rapid beating of my heart only increased as the seconds ticked by.
At first I thought it was Robin that was making me feel so. That the sensation of his presense had suceeded in making my heart go haywire. Which of course, this idea seemed sensible and completely logical to me.
But I knew it wasnt that.
My magic senses were telling me something. Warning me about something.
To my later regret, I ignored the feeling.
I saw him smile at me as I looked back at up him. His beautiful blue eyes held such sadness. Sadness, regret and anger. All the emotions I couldnt even begin to fathom at the moment. I didnt understand it. We were together now, wasnt he happy?
He bent down, placing his warm lips on mine for the briefest moment. I responded in confusion as I felt his hands settle tightly on my waist, as if he was protecting me from something.
I looked back up at his eyes, and felt my own widen in alarm and fear at the darkness I saw in them.
I clutched onto him tighter, afraid he was going to just dissapear right out of my fingertips.
He kissed my forehead, his sweet breath upon my face. I closed my eyes, relishing every moment.
Then that sense of dread tolled at my heart, and I knew something was coming.
The hold on my arm was tightened, almost to the point of discomfort. I struggled slightly in his grasp.
"Robin?"
Then I realized he was only clutching on to me to restrain any movement. Any movement I might have done to escape.
He raised his hand, revealing a silver liquid inside a glass flask in his fingers. My eyes widened as my senses automatically drew back from him, but I couldnt. He injected the syrum into my neck. I gasped at the momentary shock of the needle being inserted into my skin. Then I looked up at him, sadness gracing my features.
He smiled at me almost comfortingly. It was a guilty smile, a little regretful.
"I love you" his voice said, but by then, my eyes were already half closed as my senses continued to blur ever so slowly.
I felt him kiss my neck lovingly, then he raised his head to kiss my lips.
I fully closed my eyes, letting the feeling of him completely envelope me.
"I love you Zatanna" he said again.
"I love you Robin" I answered back autmotically.
I blinked tiredly as my vision began to dim.
"Why?" I whispered as I fought to stay coherent. I knew he understood I was referring to him drugging me.
Tears spilled from his eyes and mine.
"Because I love you"
I kissed him again desperately, feeling my heart break in two pieces.
Was he really so unwilling to stay with me just for the sake of my safety?
His lips were the last thing I felt before my vision completely blacked out and I felt myself go limp in his arms.
Robins POV
I saw her blue eyes widen but resolve in comprehension as I injected the needle into her skin. A beautiful kind of sadness graced her feautures.
I tried to smile at her. Trying to reassure her everything was gonna be okay.
But I knew the smile didnt reach my eyes.
"I love you" I said truthfully. It was the truth and nothing short of it. It was the reason why I was doing this. Constantly hurting myself, dragging my already broken heart through a bed of thorns. I did it for her.
I did it all for her.
I placed my lips on the spot on her neck which had been previously punctured by the was as if I was saying sorry. I kissed her lovingly, adoringly. Conveying everything I had into every move I made.
Including the fear and desperation I felt to be with her.
I moved my head up, kissing her lips.
My head felt dizzy as I tasted her breath in my mouth.
"I love you Zatanna" I said again.
"I love you Robin" was her response.
I saw her eyes were already half closed as she fought to stay awake. I felt a pang of pain and guilt hit me, yet I didnt stop it.
"Why?" she whispered. Her eyes held sadness.
Tears spilled from her own eyes the same time they spilled from mine.
"Because I love you"
I kissed her again, almost desperately.
Though after a moment, she stopped. And I knew the poison had taken its affect.
Her eyes fully closed as she fell limp in my arms.
AUTHORS NOTE: were obviously not done, are we?
The drug Robin had given to Zatanna was a sleeping toxin that would erase her memories of the past 24 hours.
I know Ive been gone a really long time and Im really sorry about that. Schools started and I also got sick at the same time. I wasnt allowed near the computer either.
