A/N: LAST CHAPTER! WEEEE! Just a brief warning: this chapter is rather dark and angst-y. Though I find it hysterically funny. Looking back over this, I realized that it's all terribly out of character. Oh well. XD
Disclaimer: Do I /look/ like I own Teen Titans?
"Uh….Uh….." Robin stammered.
"Slade must have brainwashed him!" Cyborg immediately decided.
"No, guys, really-"
"Don't worry Robin, we know you would never-" Beast Boy began, but was cut off by Slade.
"No, Titans! You need to understand something. Robin and I are in love." Slade proclaimed proudly.
"Yeah, guys, I know this sounds crazy, but I love him." Robin confessed, gazing lovingly at Slade. "I'm not brainwashed."
There was a long pause, then the Titans charged forward. Raven quickly used that black crap to hold Robin back while the others attacked Slade. Slade could have killed some of them, but he did not want to harm friends of Robin. But Slade would not allow them to capture him.
Robin, meanwhile, was struggling violently to escape and help Slade. "Guys, stop! I'm not brainwashed, I LOVE HIM!" He shouted desperately.
"No, you don't Robin. When you look back on this, you'll thank us." Raven assured him.
"We can't take him alive, guys!" Cyborg called, taking aim with his mega-blasting arm.
"NOOOOOOO!"Robin screamed at the top of his lungs.
Things seemed to move in slow motion as Slade realized that Cyborg was preparing a killing blow, as Robin finally escaped Raven's grasp, and as the mega blast was fired straight at him. The explosion was huge. The ground shook. The dust cleared, showing a huge crater where Slade had been standing.
Robin, tears streaking his face, ran to where Slade lay. "S-S-Slade? A-are you alright?" He stammered tearfully.
Slade seemed to smile wistfully. "No, my love. My time has come." Robin gripped Slade's hand tightly.
"No! You can't die!" A fresh wave of tears streamed down Robin's face.
Slade coughed slightly, blood trickling down his face. "Yes. I think you'll find that I can." He gazed lovingly into Robin's eyes. "Don't cry, my love, my Robin. Someday, we'll see each other again. Someday…." But he never finished. The life vanished from his eye as it slowly closed, and his hand went limp.
Robin collapse onto Slade's chest, sobbing hysterically as the Titans watched, dumbfounded.

"Robin?" Starfire knocked cautiously on his door. Ever since they had come back to the Tower six hours ago, he had not emerged from his quarters. "Are you alright?" She entered slowly. When Robin did not still say anything, she examined the room, searching for him. Then she noticed a note on his bed, which read as follows:
To my friends:
When you saw Slade and I at the beach, you automatically assumed that Slade had tricked me. But it was I who was tricking myself. The reason I was so obsessed with Slade was because I had fallen in love with him. Deeply, passionately in love. But none of you could accept that. I will give you the benefit of the doubt in this, that you were acting on my behalf. I don't think you meant to kill my love, and if only you had known… But my point is that you mustn't blame yourself for what I am about to do.

Robin stood at the edge of the roof of the T Tower. Hopefully they will finally understand from what is written in that note…. He thought grimly, as he gazed down at the rock-strewn ground with bloodshot eyes. Not that that matters any more… Nothing matters anymore.
-----
Starfire's eyes began to fill with tears.
This is the only way. I feel dead inside. My true love is gone forever. I have nothing to live for anymore. I do hope you will understand and forgive me. But somehow, I don't think you will be able to accept that Slade and I were in love. Are in love. Not even death can keep us apart.
Robin

Robin gazed at the hard ground so far below him for a moment. Then, suddenly, pushed himself off the edge. I'm coming, my love! I'm coming…
A/N: That's all folks! Hope I didn't disappoint anyone. -chews nails- Farewell for now!
