Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans.
Please, please look at Tempest! So far, only one person (AWESOMENESS, animeobsessed3191!) has reviewed, and I feel unloved... -sad- Anyway, thanks to animeobsessed3191, Robyn J., and Radcliffeluverforever for reviewing! This is more one-shot ish then poetry, but I'll stick more up soon.
-Piece of Paper-
It's just a blank piece of paper.
She stares at it, defeated, by a blank piece of paper.
How? She wondered, resting her head on her hand. She has defeated villains too numerous to count, among which Trigon, Slade, and herself have made appearances. She had become a hero in the eyes of thousands, and day after day took down people who had turned to crime.
She was a Titan, and she had been defeated by a blank piece of paper.
Considering this, Raven studied the unassuming white parchment with a violet gaze.
Truthfully, when you're in love, not even words are enough to make it through.
With a soft sigh she leans back in the chair, running fingers through her hair.
Maybe she should just tell him…
A knock at the door startles her and she floats over, hood coming up as she opens the door two inches.
Outside, a very embarrassed looking Titan shifts his weight, looking nervous.
"What?" She would never admit it, but her heart jumped at the sight of him.
He shows her a blank piece of paper; she looks at it for a moment before sliding the door all the way open so he can see the one on her desk too. Their eyes meet, and he gives a little laugh as the tension drains away.
"Defeated by a piece of paper too?" Raven asks softly, not daring to let herself hope.
"Actions always spoke louder than words," he says, before impulsively leaning forward and kissing her.
Piece of paper be damned. He was right. After all, perhaps she hadn't been defeated by notebook paper-
she kisses him back tentatively-
But love.
