Side notes for Chapter:

SR-71 inspired.

It's a song people.

Enjoy.
(PS, I have a bunch of undone chapters laying waste on my hard drive
Here's one that I managed to finish. XD)

Oh, titans aged between 17-20

Short and simple.

Edit: Well. I just reread this.. without the music playing in the background.
And it's simply ridiculous. I barely understood the plot and everything.

But I want to share it because its 2:17 in the stupid morning and I have to get up early for

church and I only stayed up to finish writing this horrific failed one shot.

But it if you listen to it with the music, its cute. Lol.

SR-71's My World. Get it. Listen to it first. Then read.

I warned you.

002 : My World

--

Starfire laughed as Beastboy turned into a kangaroo in mid-air to kick the volleyball back over the net.

"Oh! I got it friends!" She flew towards the ball as Robin quickly stepped aside. She brought her fist back and slammed it into the ball.

Smack!

Silence ensued as the titans heard the volleyball flop to the ground. A stunned green gorilla reverting back into its human form, a large visible red mark on his forehead.

Everyone burst into laughter.

"Starfire, girl! That was great!" Cyborg wiped a tear from his eye as he flipped a hamburger on the grill, while he shook his head.

"I.. Did I hurt you Friend? I am terribly sorry!" Starfire was horrified but smiled a little by everyones' laughter.

"Don't worry about him Star, he's tough. Good spike though." Robin patted her on the back with a floppy grin.

"Dude. That like.. Oww.." Beastboy shook his head as Starfire flew to him in urgency as everyone chuckled.

Raven let her eyes linger on their laughing forms for a moment before she simply rolled her eyes and turned her head back to the sunset, her body levitating in a meditation form. How they convinced her to join the rooftop, she still doesn't know.

A sigh escaped her mouth as she heard the sounds of another game starting. A thought occurred to her and a sudden gust of wind made her cloak pick up. It settled down.

She spoke, tone flat, "I was wondering where you went."

"Why? Miss me?" A cocky grin appeared on his face, like always.

"Hardly." Her eyes remained closed.

Wally chuckled, "But you did." He stood next to her, the edge of the roof only a couple feet ahead of them.

"I suppose."

A moment passed.

Cyborg's voice vibrated, "COME AND GET IT!"

"Glorious! My stomach has been hungry for quite some time now!" And other various comments were made as the others made their way to the wooden table next to the grill.

"Raven, Wally, Food's cooked!" Robin yelled at the two who remained where they were.

Wally turned his head, but his eyes remained on Raven, "Be there in a sec!" He turned his head back.

"What is it that you need Wallace?"

He remained silent and turned so all of him faced her. His arms folded against his chest. No grin in place.

Raven sensed this and floated to the ground as she opened her eyes and stared straight ahead at the sunset.

"I want to talk to you."

She rolled her eyes, "We're talking."

Wally made a small grunt, "Fine." A pause, "..About last night-"

"There's nothing to talk about."

"But-"

"No," Raven turned her head towards him, her face unreadable, "Wallace, last night was a fluke. It was an off day, that's all there is to it-"

"I don't believe that."

She turned away. "Believe what you want, but the truth will not change."

Flashback

"Raven, good, I was looking for you." Robin smiled.

Raven turned around, her hand paused above her keypad, her door sliding open. "Mhm?"

Robin chuckled, nervous, his hand scratching the back of his head, "You're a girl, right?"

"..Last time I checked, yes. What is it Robin?"

"Well.. You've been inside me Raven, and you probably know me the best out of all of us," He paused and grabbed her hand, his smile never faultering.

A figure disappeared around the corner.

Raven looked at Robin, her eyebrows drawing together, "You're nervous. Spit it out."

"Heh, straight to the point, I want to tell Starfire something, where do you think I can take her?"

She rolled her eyes and gave a quick glance at their hands still entwined.

He noticed this and quickly let go with a smile.

She brought her eyes back to him, "Depends. What are you doing to tell her?"

Robin seemed to glow for a second before opening his mouth, and in that small moment; Raven knew.

Her breath stopped as her vision blurred and slowed down to a stop, his face in mid sentence.Time slowed as the realization of what he was going to say came thundering.

Out of all the pain she's endured in battles, this was the worst. It was as if someone clutched her life in their hands and mocked her. How could this happen? She knew that some day it would.. but.. she never thought.. just.. it would happen. There was always the doubt.

And then.. time sped up and came crashing down on her.

Robin continued, "Honest, I love her. I can't help but do." His grin faltered seeing Raven's reaction. "..Raven? Are you crying? Did something happen?" His hand went to her shoulder.

Raven blinked, a tear falling down her face. And then she saw his face of concern. And as quick as time had stopped, she broke into a grin, hiding her ache. "No, I'm just really happy for you two, it's been years, and only now you're going to tell her?"

Oh, how hard it was speaking, no less those words, without a trace of her inner turmoil and sobbing.

Robin chuckled and hugged her quickly, "I know, great isn't it? I think I'm going to take her to the park, she loves it there."

Raven only nodded with a small smile.

"Thanks Raven." He smiled and turned away, walking and disappearing behind the corner.

Rave stared where she last saw him, her smile slowing dropping. She pursed her lips together and closed her eyes as the remaining tears fell down.

Raven let out a breath as she opened her eyes to look to the side.

Seconds passed. Her eyes traveled to the other hallway where it turned.

"Think nothing of it. They are tears of happiness."
Her voice said otherwise.

She stepped into her bedroom, her door about to swish close.

She suddenly found herself wrapped in an embrace. Raven closed her eyes as she brought her forehead to his chest, her hands traveling around his waist and holding tight.

Wally held her close as her shoulders shook with sobs.

End Flashback

Her voice repeated in his mind, "Believe what you want, but the truth will not change."

Wally brought his eyebrows together in anger, his voice low, "What truth Raven? Your tears of happiness?"

Raven whipped her face towards his, her eyes sharp, "I do not lie."

"Not intentionally, but you do. I see it in your eyes. In your movements. Even in your words. They may not be there to others, but it's there to me."

"And tell me, what exactly is there?" Her voice becoming angered.

Robin looked over, sensing the tension. Beastboy and Cyborg was too busy eating and Starfire was happily talking about.. something or the other. He couldn't remember.

Wally visibly softened, his anger dissapating. "..Is he everything to you?"

Raven turned her body to him, confusion on her face, "What?"

Wally stepped forward to her, she made no move to step back. "I can still find the smell, on my clothes and skin." His voice was soft, almost pleading, "Is he all the things you'd want me to change into?"

"..Wallace, what are you-"

Wally stepped forward, this time she stepped back.

Robin watched, wondering why Raven looked distressed. He nodded to something Star asked, his eyes still on the duo.

"Tell me.." Wally went to grab her hand but she pulled away, slowly shaking her head.

"Does he make you high, make you real?" His voice was soft, "Does he make you cry? Does he know the way you feel?"

"Stop-"

"Love is all around you, your universe is full." He stepped closer. Raven only stared at him, her mouth partially open, trying to speak.

He grabbd both her hands in his, his eyes boring into her, "I've had enough of fears, you let them out." He suddenly pulled her to him, his face buried in her hair, his arms wrapped around her figure.

Raven, still shocked, hand her palms against his chest, but made no move to push him away.

He whispered, "Now I wrap myself around you, like a blanket full of doubt."

Wally pulled back just enough to let her look up at him, he smiled sadly, "..Is he your everything?"

"..Wally.." Only a whisper.

He let out a breath, a small grin on his face, "You make me high! You make me real!"

The corner of Raven's lip turned a bit.

Wally smiled as he lowered his head to hers, his forehead touching hers. He brought one of his hands to her shoulders, "You make me cry.. Now you know the way I feel.."

Raven felt his hand travel up her neck and hold her face, she watched as his grin disappeared.

"..But in my world.." He lowered closer so much that she could feel his breath on her lips.

She watched as he looked into her eyes and then saw his eyes travel to her parted lips. Before she could say anything, he kissed her. Softly. In want, in need, in love.

Her eyes closed.

But before that, a whisper, his; "..There is only you.."

Finis.
