And now I feel terrible ;;

Perhaps I sounded a bit too 'RAROHEMGEESTOPTELLINGMETOUPDATEORI'LLEATYOUROVARIES'? Honestly, I didn't even realize you people actually read what I put up here... hm. Anyhoo, thank you all VERY much for the reviews, I feel all warm and cuddly inside every time I open my emails and there are a bazillion reviews waiting, and I really don't care if you ask me to update or not, just don't write anything like "OMG PLZ UPDATE RIGHT THIS SECOND K THX BYE"

Just watch, next chapter I'll be tearing people's limbs off in a most gruesome manner. That's just the kind of person I am.

-Fate-

Gar woke up to see a tall redhead glowering down at him.

"What are you doing in Raven's bed?"

The blond blinked once with surprise as he sat up, realizing he had fallen asleep on top of the blankets, next to Raven. He grinned sheepishly and quickly rolled off the bed, landing on the floor with a loud thump. Kori shook her head as she nudged him in the side with her foot, jerking her thumb towards the door of Raven's room.

"Vic says to go and help him cook breakfast or he'll castrate you with a butter knife, or something like that."

With a threat like that, it took only nanoseconds for Gar to jump to his feet and race out of the room, heading down the hall towards the kitchen. Kori smirked as she looked down at the younger girl, who was still sleeping soundly. As someone reached out to place their hand on Kori's shoulder, the redhead turned, one fist raised and flying towards her 'attacker.' Richard smirked as he held up one hand, grabbing her fist before she could land the punch.

"Easy there, Kori."

Kori blushed as she smiled at him, shrugging slightly as she lowered her hand, Richard's fingers still wrapped warmly around hers.

"Er, sorry. Just habit."

Richard grinned at his fiancee, arching an eyebrow. He had gotten used to Kori's violent nature; at times he even found it cute, unless he was the one who was the current victim. It was usually Vic, however, so he was usually the one laughing after Kori had landed a punch or two. Richard had never seen the crimson-haired show any form of hostile behavior towards Raven, however, even if she was only playing around. In fact, the athletic young man had never seen Kori act anything but motherly and protective towards the younger girl. Richard reached for Kori's other hand, entwining his fingers with hers.

"You know, I was thinking... how about December 17?"

Kori's bright eyes widened as she stared at Richard, her breath catching in her throat.

"You mean... for the wedding?"

Richard amused grin switched to a smile as he nodded, then quickly changed to the expression a small dog might make if a child were to wrap its arms too tightly around its neck as Kori threw her arms around his chest, resting her cheek against his sternum. The dark-haired boy curled his arms around Kori, lightly kissing the top of her head before he spoke again.

"Obviously, it won't be a very big wedding, but I'll do the best I can."

Kori beamed up at him, a wide grin spreading across her face.

"We don't need a big fancy wedding, Richard. We've got each other."

Richard chuckled, shaking his head as he reached up with one hand to flick the girl's nose.

"Do you have any idea how cheesy that sounds?"

Kori laughed as well, shrugging a bit.

"I have a fairly good idea."

The obsidian-haired young man smirked slightly before he ducked his head down, pressing his lips against Kori's. The redhead reached up, wrapping her arms around her fiancee's neck, and the two stood silently in the middle of Raven's room, their two forms pressed against each other.

"Ugh. That is not what I want to wake up to see."

Richard and Kori broke apart as they looked over at Raven, who was grimacing up at them.

"Do you two have to start making out in my room? Ew."

The two older teenagers laughed, faint blushes spreading across both of their faces. Kori stepped over to the younger girl's bedside, carefully sitting down on the mattress next to Raven.

"How're you feeling?"

Raven gave a one-shouldered shrug as she sat up, sitting cross-legged on her mattress, then reached up with one hand to run her fingers through her short, onyx hair. How did she feel? Physically, she could definately be better. Thanks to Gar's treatment, her shoulder felt much better, but she was still sore, and she had a throbbing headache. Emotionally... she was confused. Still horribly, terribly confused. She wasn't sure how to feel towards their newest roommate, or about the events that had happened last night that she could barely remember.

Richard's gaze traveled between the two girls before he slipped his hands into his pockets, walking towards the door and out into the hallway.

"I'm going to go make sure Gar and Vic don't burn the house down."

Kori and Raven grinned as the older girl tucked her legs up, imitating Raven's position. The redhead resting her elbows against her knees as she tilted her head, looking Raven clearly in her pale face.

"He didn't do anything to you, did he?"

It took a moment for Raven to realize who and what Kori was talking about, but when she did, a faint rose blush spread across the dark-haired girl's face, and she shook her head. Out of all of the men she had met recently, Gar had been the nicest to her. Of course, Kori didn't know that; as far as the redhead was concerned, Richard, Vic, and Gar were the only males in Raven's life right now. The pale girl felt bad, keeping secrets from the friends who might as well be her family, but...

If she told them, she knew it would kill them.

She had already done enough to them.

Sorry for the short chapter, but I wanted to at least get something up for you guys since I won't be able to write for about a week. Dun dun dunnn, a bit of Rob/Star (or Richard/Kori in this case) for you guys, as well as a bit of a cliffhanger-type thing. If I get a chance at my mom's house I'll try to write a bit, but otherwise I'll update next week. Au revoir, mes amis.
