A/N: Well, I was going to wait for a week before I updated (since this is already finished from a while ago), but I just can't disappoint my fans! Aaaaannnywaaaay….. I like this chapter, I think it turned out to be one of my better ones. Mostly because its kinda weird, but, oh well. Here you go. Shout outs at the bottom.
:Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans. At least, not yet…. Muahahahahaha…
Robin woke slowly. Where am I? he thought groggily. He took his surroundings in: a softly lit room, with curtains parted to reveal the full moon. I must have been out for a while… He was sitting in a high-backed chair; in front of him was a small table with a red tablecloth and another chair directly across from him. On the table were…. Plates? This looks like a dinner table! This is too weird!
He tried to leap to his feet, only to find that his legs were chained to the chair. He couldn't even stand, as the chains reached to his lap, effectively restricting his movement to a minimum. He tried to pull at the chains, but it did no good. He arms were free, but he could not break the thick restraints.
"It's no use, Robin." Slade through the door, carrying two candlesticks. "Those are designed to hold elephants. Let alone a boy your size." He placed one candle on either side of the table, and produced a box of matches. He lit the candles and disappeared around the corner, still talking. "No, I think it's safe to say that you're not going anywhere. I really was hoping we could be a little more civil about this, but…" He came back in the room, pushing a cart with several plates with the same metal plate covers one would see in a fancy restaurant. "I forebear."
"What are you doing?" Robin demanded, confused and slightly frightened. He cringed away from Slade a bit; he could manage fighting him, but this was getting creepy.
"Isn't it obvious, Robin?" Slade placed the biggest plate on the table and pulled off the cover, revealing a large roast chicken. Slade sat down across from Robin.
"You're insane!" Robin shouted, tugging again at the chains, to no avail.
"Maybe so." Slade replied slowly, resting his chin on his intertwined fingers as he gazed at Robin. "I must admit, falling for you may have been the biggest mistake of my life."
Robin stared, his mouth agape. "W-what?" Falling for him? Slade falling for him!
"You heard me, Robin." He leaned closer. "And I know you feel the same way. Deep down."
Robin growled and tried to reached Slade. Slade grabbed his hands and held them between his own. "Robin, my love, look me in the eye and tell me you don't feel something- love- for me."
Robin gazed into Slade's eyes- well, eye- and found himself becoming lost in their depth. "I-I… I love you too Slade." He whispered without thinking. He stopped, slightly taken by his confession, but, looking back, it made sense now! That was why he followed Slade so relentlessly! That was why Slade was always on his mind! He was in love with him!
Slade was leaning dangerously close to Robin's face. Robin leaned forward to kiss him, when-
BANG!
"Robin?" Starfire called from outside the room. Robin looked over as the door swung open to reveal the Titans.
Robin looked back to where Slade had been sitting. But he was no where to be seen.
A/N: Ah, don't you just love cliffhangers? XD Shout outs:
Crash Slayer: My first reviewer! Ever! In any story! WEEEEEEEEEEE!
Pretty in Scarlet: See? I updated! Yay me! I'm glad you like it. Robin and Slade are such a cute couple, non?
El Violinista: The first chapter actually scared the crap out my friend. She is blind to see the truth of Robin and Slade's love! Hence the title. Though it was originally "The Truth: Kari's Nightmare". But only my friends and I would get it, so...
Congratulations! You all get m00fins.
