Disclaimer: I do NOT own Teen Titans.

A/N: REVIEWS! Yipee! Yeah, I know the whole sex conversation thing was a tad bit weird, but, whatever...I thought it was funny at the time.

NO NEW TEEN TITANS ON TONIGHT! NO! NO NEW TEEN TITANS NEXT WEEKEND! NO! ...when the HELL will they show new episodes? I mean, come on, it seems like an incredibly long time since "Employee of the Month", and I had to wait an extra week to see that!

Woo, sorry, going off here...I just wanna see some Starfire/Robin action in "TROQ" (at least, I heard there was going to be some Star/Rob action in it, anyway). And then I wanna see "The Prophecy", 'coz Raven's my favorite character and most episodes focusing on her are excellent. (I didn't like "Spellbound" or "Fear Itself" very much.)

On to the story!

Chapter Ten: My Oh My

'Teen Heartthrob – Suicidal Threat or Just In Over His Head?

'Indeed, it has almost been four years since the disappearance of one of the fellow Teen Titans, but has the leader truly not gotten over it?

'In a press conference that took place six months after the disappearance, the leader, Robin, assured us that everything was under control and that none of them was suffering the loss of their fellow teammate. One of the reporters, though, got him to confess that him and his fellow teammate (the one who disappeared) were indeed dating at the time, which caused a stir in the crowd.

'Just last night, Robin, the leader, got admitted to the Jump City Hospital with cuts to both his wrists. Although none of the other Titans would comment on the situation, one of our insiders found out that one of the other Titans had saved Robin before he could do anymore damage.

'We have also learned that Robin is in stable condition, but that he is also unconscious for the moment. Doctors would not tell us much, but they did tell us was that he should wake up and that he should make a slow recovery, seeing that he will be put in an asylum for six months or he will attend regular classes (for those who are suicidal) for six months.'

Starfire's eyes started to fill up with tears. Robin had tried to kill himself...over her? She quickly closed the album and placed it under the bed, feeling the tears run down her face.

"Starfire?"

She quickly wiped away the tears and fled the room, quickly closing the door behind her. "Richard, is that you?"

"Yeah, I'm in the kitchen."

She walked into the kitchen and found him sitting at the table. His bag and jacket were tossed onto the table. His eyes were shut, but as soon as she entered, he opened them.

"So, how was your day?" he asked, pulling out a chair for her to sit in.

She sat down. "Oh, it was eventful! Summer took me out to the mall of shopping and bought me some new clothes, and then I came back here because she had to go to work."

"Oh, did she tell you were she worked?" he asked.

Starfire nodded. "Yes; she told me she was a nurse."

He nodded and stood up. "Do you want anything to drink or to eat...?"

She shook her head. "No, thank you."

He shrugged and looked through the fridge. After a minute of looking, he pulled out a can of Sprite and sat back down. He opened it and started drinking.

"Why did you do it?" she suddenly asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

He put his drink down and stared at her. "Do what?"

"You know..." She couldn't gather up the courage to really ask him. Instead, more tears welled into her eyes, causing her to look away.

"Star..." he said, scooting closer to her and wrapping her arms around her. "What's the matter?"

She sighed, closing her eyes. "You know what I am talking about...what happened so long ago that no one will dare mention..."

Richard paused for a moment. How could she have found out? He asked himself. He then took his arms from around Starfire and looked down.

"So it is true?" she whispered, not bothering to look at him.

"Yes."

"You...but, why?" She was near the verge of tears again but held them back.

"I...I couldn't stand life without you. No one could. The Titans were slowly falling apart, though no one could see it. One day, things..." He paused. "Things got out of hand, and I...just..."

"You tried killing yourself," the alien girl whispered.

"I did. And I regret it now. It was stupid, could've been prevented..."

"So, who stopped you?"

"Cyborg. He said he found me right after...I had cut myself."

"What happened after that?"

"Well, apparently, Raven teleported herself, Cyborg, Beast Boy, and my body to the hospital." He sighed. "I was in a coma for a week. When I woke up, all the doctors surrounded me, asking me a whole bunch of questions. The other Titans finally got the doctors away, and once the door was shut, THEY started bombarding me with questions.

"They wanted to know everything; what happened, why I did it, was this some sort of joke..." He quietly chucked, slightly smiling.

"I do not think this is a laughing matter," Starfire muttered, still not looking at Richard.

He frowned. "Sorry. Anyway, I just told them the truth. I really could not handle life without you. They then sent me to this...place for six months where I attended daily meetings."

"Meetings?"

"I went to a room with a bunch of other people and we all just...uh...kinda talked about life and why we were there."

"Oh."

"Yeah, when I first arrived there, I swore I had already died and went to Hell. The people there assured me, telling me I was surely alive and that the building I was in was surely not Hell. I just...kept to myself. I knew the other Titans thought I was crazy...and I knew they wondered if I had done anything like that before."

"Had you?" she asked, turning around and looking at Richard with somber eyes.

He shook his head, looking away from her eyes. "No. I wanted to...almost got the chance, but I knew you wouldn't have wanted that. I was really, really hoping you'd come back. Gosh, I even remember praying sometimes...but, I knew it wouldn't necessarily work, since I'm not the religious type..." He paused for a moment.

"Is that all?" she asked.

He shook his head. "No, just had to remember where I was...oh, that's right. I eventually opened up to people, but it was a week after I arrived..."

x...flashback...x

"Robin, have you decided to talk to us today?" Shelby, the nurse, asked in her overly-happy tone.

Robin inwardly sighed. Why is she always asking this? He asked himself. He sighed and stood up. "Yeah, whatever."

"So, tell us your name and why you're here," Shelby said, grinning.

Robin groaned and looked at the other eleven people that sat in chairs the formed a circle. "Hello everyone, I'm Robin."

"Hello Robin," the other eleven people said.

"Yeah, anyway, one day, I decided to try to kill myself."

"Oooh," the patients said.

"Yeah, is this it?" Robin asked Shelby, almost pleading.

"Well, not really. Why don't you explain to us WHY you tried to kill yourself," Shelby told him.

Stupid psychiatric witch, he thought to himself. He sighed. "Alright, here's the deal. My girlfriend disappeared four years ago, and one day a while back, my friends and I got into this pretty big argument of whether..." He paused. He couldn't reveal that he was a Titan. "Of whether we should be friends or not. Some words were exchanged, and I was pretty mad, so I went up, and just kinda went through some flashbacks, thought I shouldn't be there, and cut my wrists."

Everyone was silent. No one in the room really talked unless they were asked to. They all stared at him in amazement.

"Yeah, um, I'm gonna sit down now..." he muttered, sitting down.

x...end flashback...x

"So, what were you and the rest of the Titans arguing about?" Starfire asked, looking at him.

"Oh, um...we were wondering if we should remain as the Titans," he said. "We were slowly falling about, always arguing..."

"About me?"

"No. We did bring you up, but that's how the arguments started, anyway..."

She hung up her head. "I am sorry."

"Ooh, no, it's not your fault," he assured, grabbing ahold and hugging her. "It was all bound to happen, anyway. Maybe not in the way it happened, but it was going to."

She nodded and buried her head in his chest. "Then what happened?"

"Three months after I got back, we decided to end the Titans. We spent a month packing, telling the press about our decision, preparing for our life after that..."

"How did everyone else take it?"

"Well, the police were upset...but not as much as our fans. I heard they were in tears for a while...Well, I know Titans East was around for a few years after we ended...but, I came back here to Gotham, lived with Bruce, err, Batman, for a while, then started working with him, and then found my own place," he explained.

"Um, I do not mean to sound nosy or anything, but how did you meet Summer?" she asked.

"Uh...let's see...oh, yeah, I work with her brother, Daniel. One day, some of the other workers and I decided to just go out one night and have a little fun...heh, we ended up going to a café, where Summer used to work part time. Some of the guys dared me to ask her out, so I did, and we've been going out since...and that was about two years ago."

Starfire nodded. She really didn't know what to say, and she knew nodding would convince him enough. "And how long have you two been engaged?" she finally asked.

"Six months."

She thought about it for a moment before replying," That is when Raven and Gar moved to Jump City!"

"Eh, Raven and who?"

"Beast Boy."

"Together?"

"Why, yes!"

Richard paused for a moment. "Are you serious?"

"Were they not together when you last saw them?"

"They were...or I thought they were, anyway...they've been together for the past ten years?"

"No, they broke up a couple of times."

"Oh. Yeah, I didn't think they could be together that long, anyway."

She gasped. "Oh, before I forget, I have invited them over tomorrow!"

"Here?"

"Yes."

"When?"

"Between three and four tomorrow...or whenever Raven gets off work, which is around that time."

"Well, I guess we should get ready."

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

"...How close are we?"

"Close enough."

"Nuh-uh, that's not an answer and you know it."

"Close enough to where I can turn around and make everyone upset."

"So...we're close, huh?"

Raven groaned. "Yes, for pity's sake!"

"So...how was she?" Garfield asked.

Raven shrugged, turning another street. "Happy, I guess."

"You think he told her?"

"Maybe."

"I wouldn't bet on it."

"I wasn't going to...but I do agree with you."

"Yeah, betting would be pointless. I mean, it is Robin, err, "Richard" after all," he muttered.

"Well, maybe he is the same. Or maybe he's changed. Or maybe she found out somehow and he told her the whole truth...?" Raven suggested.

"Or maybe he just plain ol' didn't tell her – hey, isn't that his place?"

Raven looked over to where Garfield was pointing. "Oh, yeah, it is."

"Really?" he asked, grinning. "Man, that was one great guess."

"Oh, so that's why you said that," she muttered, turning off the car. "I don't remember telling you the address."

"WE'RE HERE!" Gar then exclaimed, jumping out of the car and jumping around.

Raven smiled as she got out of the vehicle. She then walked over to Gar and took his hand in hers and she stared at the building in front of her. "I'm slightly nervous," she muttered.

"Raven?" he questioned. "Nervous? Oh, my God, call the press!"

"Can it," she hissed, crossing her arms and turning away from her boyfriend.

He grinned and wrapped an arm around her. "Oh, you know I'm kidding."

"And you're just sucking up to me," she told him. "Not working."

"Oh, really?" He then morphed into the cutest little kitten. He looked up at her, his eyes full of innocence.

"You asshole," she muttered, bending down and patting the kitten's head. "You know I think you're adorable when you do that."

The kitten let out a meow and then morphed back into Garfield. He grinned and let out a chuckle. "Heh, I'm a weakness, aren't I?"

"Let's just get inside before they begin to worry," she muttered, walking into the building.

"Oh, my God, what a rich guy," he said.

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?" a guy (or a butler, who knows) asked, walking up to them.

"Yeah, can you tell us where apartment 3C is?" Raven asked.

The man nodded. "Of course. If you go straight ahead, you'll see a set of elevators. Take one of them up to the third floor. As soon as you get out, take a left and go down that hallway. 3C should be the second door on the left."

"Thank you," Raven said as they walked off towards the elevators.

"You think that dude back there knew who we are?" Garfield asked as they got into the elevator.

Raven shrugged. "Maybe."

They quickly arrived to the third floor. They got out and walked down the hallway. Within the minute, they arrived at Richard's apartment. For what seemed like minutes, they stood in front of the door, staring at it.

"It's now or never," he whispered, grabbing her hand and giving it a squeeze.

She sighed and nodded. Letting go of his hand, she knocked on the door.

Footsteps could be heard from the inside. Then, within seconds, the door opened, revealing Starfire.

"Why, hello friends! Please come in!"

A/N: I GOT THIS UP! HECK YEAH! ...sorry, it's just that I haven't been able to write much and I finished it in school today! Well, on a notebook sheet of paper, then I had to transfer it onto the computer...yeah...please review!
