Chapter 12-If You Fall I Will Catch You
---------------------
As Kori and Richard stared at Kori's parents and Bruce, too many thoughts were rushing through their minds, would they be forced to divorce? Would their parents be ok with this? Did they even know they were married? Lynn finally spoke up, breaking the scilence, "Kori...what were you and Richard doing together?"
Kori sighed, "The truth is mom, me and Richard have been together a long time. When we first met at the New Years Party five years ago, we talked a little bit, and as years went on we got to know each other better, and at the start of this year we were officially together." Richard's hand had found its way into Kori's as they stared at the three adults.
Bruce noticed a ring on Richard's left ring finger, then noticed the matching one on Kori's left ring finger, "YOU TWO GOT MARRIED!?!?!?"
"Um..."
"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!?!?" Yelled Mark, who was now standing up along with Bruce.
"Mark, Bruce, calm down, let them explain." Said Lynn.
After Bruce and Mark had sat down, Kori and Richard sighed before telling them what had happened, "Ok, so here's what happened, Kori and I started seeing each other after she moved here, knowing that we couldn't be together but still we didn't care. Well after going out for about two weeks I asked her to marry me, I'd been with her before, and I knew we could make things work. I know I'm a rash person, but we did what was best for us." Said Richard, staring at Kori's parents, then at Bruce.
Bruce stared at them, "So you just decided to get married? Richard are you aware that you have ruined your life now?"
"And you too Korina, I can't believe you, going off and getting married, especially to Richard Grayson! Why not that Xavier Redd fellow? He seems like a nice young man." Said Mark, shaking his head.
"Are you implying that Richard is not good enough to be with me? Because Xavier Redd is the last person I'd want to be with, he's quite the player." Said Kori, leaning back in her seat as she stared at her parents.
"Honey of course we're not, we just want to know if this is really what you want." Said Lynn, giving her husband and Bruce the 'Play nice' look.
Kori and Richard smiled, "Thanks, and this is what I want." Said Kori, turning to Richard, "This is what we want."
"Then I'm guessing you two will be moving out and into your own place." Said Bruce, leaning back in his chair.
Richard nodded, "Yes, we'll be fine, we're quite capable of living on our own."
Lynn looked at them, "You're sure? I mean we can give you some money to start off with..."
Kori nodded, "That'd be nice mom, thank you."
"What do you mean give them money? They're married they can handle themselves." Said Mark.
"Mark, knock it off." Said Lynn. Turning to Kori and Richard, she pulled out five hundred dollars from her purse, "That should start you off for now, but thats all and I expect you Korina to be out in the morning."
Kori nodded, "Yes mother, I'll be out in the morning."
Lynn nodded, and dismissed the two of them, letting Kori go pack her things. Richard followed Kori up the steps, "Are you going to be ok?"
Kori nodded, "Yea I'll be fine." Looking back at Richard, she took his hand in her own as they walked into her room to pack her things.
--------------------
The next afternoon, Kori and Richard stood infront of the new apartment that they'd bought that morning, "Wow, this is actually really nice, but you do know we have to get jobs and stuff because the rent is not going to pay for itself." Said Kori, taking her suitcases inside.
"Yea I know." Said Richard, following her inside with his own stuff.
Kori turned around to Richard as they entered their already furnished apartment, "Richard what are we doing? We're only in high school, we don't know how to maintain a life without our parents, we've always had whatever we wanted and now we have to do it all on our own."
Richard put his stuff down as he saw her break down in tears, "Kor don't cry." Walking over to her, he put his hands on her shoulders, "Everything will be ok I promise."
Burying her head in his chest she began to sob, "Everythings just so confusing right now."
Richard held her close, rocking them back and forth, "It'll be ok Kori, I promise."
Kori nodded, "I hope you're right."
Kissing the top of her head, Richard let go of her and began to unpack their things. Kori began to do the same, she loved the already furnished apartment it had everything they'd need except for their food which was on their to do list today. "Ok so do you have any idea what you're going to do, I mean job wise." Said Richard, hooking up his Playstation 2 to the tv.
"Actually I applied for a job down at the local cafe a few days ago, I start tomorrow." Said Kori, hanging up her and Richard's clothes in their closet.
Richard looked up at her, "Thats great Kor! Now all I have to do is get a job myself."
Kori chuckled, "Yea thats true." Plugging in the stereo, Kori put in a cd and hit play, "So Richard you think you can give your wife a dance?"
Richard smiled as I'll Be by Edwin McCain began to fill the apartment, "Gladly."
Wrapping his arms around her waist, Kori wrapped her arms around his neck, letting him pull her closer to him, "My God I'm so in love with you." Said Kori, resting her head on Richard's shoulder.
Richard looked down at her, "Kor I don't think I could live without you, you're my everything."
Kori smiled as he leaned down and kissed her softly, "Same for me, I mean if I didn't have you I would be incomplete."
Richard smiled as they continued to sway back and forth, "What do you think will happen?"
"I'm not really sure..."
Burying his face in her hair, he kissed her neck softly, leaving a trail of butterfly kisses as his lips searched for her own. Kori nipped at his lips as he kissed her softly, causing him to pick her up, letting her wrap her legs around his waist. "Richard we really need to finish unpacking..."
"Five more minutes..." Said Richard in between kisses as he layed Kori down on the couch.
Kori chuckled as Richard began to nip at her neck playfully as his hands slid up her shirt, "You always know how to get your way dont you?" Kori whispered seductivly as Richard pulled her shirt over her head.
"Always have..."
------------------------------
Waking up the next morning, Kori realized that she and Richard were still on the couch, and that they were going to be late for school if they didn't get up. Rolling off the couch, Kori escaped into the bathroom to get a shower. Noticing the temperature had dropped, Richard opened his eyes to see that Kori wasn't beside him, "Kor?" Hearing the shower running, he relaxed as he got up and pulled on a pair of sweatpants. "Ugh its Monday..." Muttered Richard as he walked into the kitchen and sat down on the counter.
"What did you expect it to be? Saturday?"
Turning his head around a smile spread across Richard's face as he saw Kori standing there in her dark blue robe with her hair dripping wet. "Maybe." Said Richard, walking over to her and wrapping his arms around her.
Kori snuggled her head into the crook of his neck, smiling to herself, "Come on Richard we'll be late if we don't get moving."
"Haven't I heard this before?" Asked Richard, resting his forehead on her shoulder.
"Yes now lets go." Kori released herself from him, and escaped into the bedroom to get ready while Richard made his way into the bathroom.
Standing in the closet Kori examined her clothes, "What in the world should I wear?" As she began flipping through her clothes, she finally decided on a white cashmere sweater, skinny leg jeans and knee high black boots. As she sat on the bed zipping up her boots, Richard came out of the bathroom buttoning his white long sleeve shirt, leaving the top three buttons on buttoned. Looking up at him Kori smiled, "Well hey hansome, you sure must have some pretty little girl wrapped around your finger."
Richard laughed as he picked her up bridal style, and spun her around, "Well you certainly are wrapped around my finger."
Kori laughed as she wrapped one arm around his neck, "You always know just what to say don't you?"
Richard smirked as he sat her down, "Not always, but I try my best."
Kori smirked as she pulled away from him, and went to do her hair, "Yea yea."
Rolling his eyes playfully, Richard began to put his tennis shoes on as he watched Kori straighten her hair. "Why do girls do that?"
Kori turned to him while she straightened her hair, "Do what?"
"Make their hair straight."
Kori shrugged, "So our hair looks nice and straight. Not everyone likes the way their hair is, so why not straighten it?"
Richard shook his head, "You women are crazy."
Kori laughed as she unplugged the straightener and ran a brush through her hair, "We may be crazy, but there are these people called men that we like to impress."
"Who said we were never impressed before?" Asked Richard, watching her apply black eyeliner.
Shrugging her shoulders, Kori placed her eyeliner back in her makeup bag, "You all just act different when we look nice." Walking out of the bathroom, she smiled up at him, "So you ready?"
Richard picked up his bookbag while Kori picked up her's, "As ready as I'll ever be."
Kori laughed, taking his hand in her own, "Its just school."
---------------------------
Entering the doors of Gotham High, Kori rubbed her hands over her arms, "I hate winter."
Richard laughed as he put an arm around her shoulders, "You and everyone else here hates it."
Kori giggled as she snuggled into Richard's side as they walked through the main hall of their high school, "Can you believe that our whole school know's we're married? Well I mean just about the whole school?"
Richard smirked, "Yea, that one's going to come back around and bite us in the ass."
"How so?"
"Just trust me in some way it will."
Kori shrugged as she walked down the hallway her locker was located in, "Whatever you say."
"Whats this? Gotham High's perfect couple having a fight already?"
Groaning to themselves, Kori and Richard turned around to the voice of the person they despised the most, Kitten Moth. "We're not fighting Kitten we're having a discussion." Said Kori, grabbing her books, then shutting her locker.
"Right, a discussion that involved you two arguing? Honestly how long do you two really think this marriage will last? Richard's a notorious playboy, and well Kori we know that once you're pregnant Richard won't want anything to do with you." Turning on her heel, she walked away, leaving Kori and Richard alone.
Shaking her head Kori walked away, with Richard right behind her, "Kor you don't believe those things that she just said do you?"
Kori turned to face Richard, "I'm not sure what to believe right now Richard."
Richard watched her storm off down the hallway, and shook his head, "Women..."
"What about them?" Asked Roy Harper as he joined Richard in the hall.
Richard turned to Roy, "They're really confusing thats what."
Roy laughed, "Hey you're the one that got married."
Richard rolled his eyes, "Yea and if I see you making those eyes at my wife again, you'll be blind."
Fear had struck Roy Harper as he watched Richard walk away and chase after his wife. Sighing to himself, Richard shook his head, "What the hell is my problem?"
"I believe your problem is that you're not used to me being all moody."
Turning around a smile spread across Richard's face, "Aww its alright, you're entitled to being moody sometimes."
Kori walked into Richard's open arms, and wrapped her arms around him, "I'm sorry I was just really pissed at Kitten. I still am, but I'll get over it...eventually."
Richard stiffled a laugh as he took Kori's hand in his own and lead her down the hallway, "Just to let you know I'd never leave you."
"Sure you wouldn't, you are quite the notorious playboy after all."
"And whats that supposed to mean?"
"It means that I know about your past and how you can't keep it in your pants."
Richard stopped, and turned to her, "Are you implying that I'm cheating on you?"
Kori placed her hands on her hips, "I never said that Richard, I'm just saying that you have slept with a lot of other women, and you never know you may get bored with me."
Richard was becomming slightly angry as he crossed his arms over his chest, "How can you even say that Kori? I'm married to you! Why would I ever do that to you?"
Kori looked away knowing that she'd chosen the wrong things to say, "Richard..."
Richard shook his head as he walked down the hallway, leaving Kori standing alone in the middle of the hallway with tears rolling down her face.
