In the Stars
A/N: I was listening to Nelly Furtado's song "Childhood Dreams" from her second album and somehow this story was born. The title really has nothing to do with the story but somehow I thought it fit. And to those who read my stuff I was going to update DLS with a chapter on Bumble Bee, Speedy and Aqualad, but I keep getting sidetracked. But have no fear I will get to them eventually.
Disclaimer: I don't own even a tiny piece of the Teen Titans pie. If I did it would be shaped like Beastboy. All own is my muse, who has once again run away.
I have always prided myself on my inner strength. I have never lowered myself to the level of asking others for assistance or relying on someone else. But this time is different. At this time, in this moment I need him. I need to rely on him, to draw from his strength. I need him to be the strong one, to rise up and take control of the situation. Because for once I know not what to do, know not what to say. For once I am weak.
I can't believe he chose me. Out of so many others he chose me to be the one. The one he leans on, the one he relies on. The one who will lean on and rely on him in turn. It boggles my mind and confuses my heart. But he says he's always known it was me he wanted. That I was always the one in his heart, on his mind.
He carries me. Raises me above the tumult of emotions that threaten to overwhelm me. He breaks down my walls; my fortress of stone he destroys only to find the fragile me that lay hidden beneath it all. He pulls my soul, with all its scars and cracks, towards his own tattered and broken spirit. Together they heal each other, put each other back together. Buoy each other away from the darkness and back towards the light.
In the descent that follows I realize that he is now a core part of my strength. He is now a part of what I rely on, what lean on. He is part of the place from where I draw my strength. He is what I will lean on when it becomes too hard to face the day. Together we will be strong.
A/N: Well there it is. Short I know, but I thought anymore would be overkill, and I wrote this while on the Metro to work so I didn't have the time to sit there and mull over it's length. Anyway for those who wanna know I see this as a BB/Raven piece. But since I give no names and no real descriptions the couple is up for translation. Pair it up as you see fit. Thanks for reading.
