Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans. Never did, never is, never will. I do, however, own the poem at the end.
It's 5 in the morning and I can't sleep due to a stomachache. So I'm typing this instead...
EDIT: The poem has been edited. I didn't like the last verse...my brain was dead at the time and now...IT LIVES! And I thank you all for your reviews. I love you all like cookie-dough Oreo ice cream. You don't know how those reviews just made my morning today.
Chapter 7
Raven and Robin were mostly free of the symptoms of food poisoning by the sixth day, so were able to participate in the rest of the activities. They went on a helicopter ride where they saw the tops of shield volcanoes and lush Hawaiian forests. The view was spectacular. For no reason whatsoever, Raven would grasp Robin's hand throughout the flight, which caused Robin to smile so wide he felt his lips crack.
Cyborg and Starfire had to take a separate helicopter because Cyborg took up so much weight. Beast Boy was stuck with the two love-stricken teens that caused him to cringe every time they would look at each other. The rest had figured out it was more than a friendship between the two. The hand-holding and love-looking were huge clues. Dude, this is really freaky. I'm stuck with two lovebirds, one being an emotionless cold gothic girl, and the other being a stubborn leader, and both of them are as soft as tofu now!
Raven noticed Beast Boy shuddering behind Robin and cracked a grin. She leaned forward and kissed Robin, causing the shape-shifter to turn dark forest green. Raven giggled, causing Beast Boy to jump in surprise. This was the first time she had ever laughed, well, at least in front of him. I'm going to faint...
It was the day before the last, and Robin and Raven were sitting on the beach, watching the sunset like they did since their first kiss in the same secluded area. They would sit down and watch the masterpiece of the setting sun in silence, hand in hand. When the rays shot up for one last breath in the darkening sky, Robin would stare into Raven's majestic eyes and they would kiss, just like the first time.
This last time, however, Robin spoke during the setting of the sun. "Raven, I have always liked you since the first time you saved me. You fit into my heart like a perfectly carved diamond puzzle piece. As long as the sun continues to set each evening, my love for you will never falter."
Soft music played in the background of a parked car nearby. The soft melody floated gently towards the lovers, intertwining them like the gentle breeze with the dancing notes.
Raven looked up into the mask of Robin. "Remember that time on the balcony where we leaned towards each other? I-I wanted to know what color your eyes were." She gently reached up and fingered his mask, playing with the ties at the back. Robin took hold of her hand, and brushed it tenderly on his cheek. He let go, and untied the knot.
Robin's mask finally fluttered down into the sand, and the pool of color before her in his face captivated Raven. His eyes were the color of the Hawaiian oceans, dark blue swirling with bottle green. They were the most divine things Raven had ever seen. She felt lost in their brightness. "Richard, they're beautiful. I never knew such stunning existed."
Robin pulled her closer and looked into her dazzling amethyst eyes and thought, "Me neither."
"I love you, my Raven, and I will always be there for you."
Before Raven could say anything, Robin pulled her into a deep kiss, and both were lost under the star-filled sapphire skies, their thoughts close to heaven.
Hold me close,
Love me true,
Whisper in my ear,
I love you too.
Catch my falls,
Wipe my tears,
Open your heart
To embrace me dear.
Make me laugh,
Cure my sorrow,
And promise me,
You'll be there tomorrow.
Follow me,
To my heart,
And swear to me,
We'll never part.
Forever we'll be,
Robin and Raven,
And can't you see,
We're so close to heaven.
There, now this is finished. Not my best piece, but thanks for all the compliments.
