.:: Chapter Eight ::.
Afterwards
Robin
At last things are clear to me. For all of my life I had been living in the Darkness, never knowing my purpose, never knowing what I was meant for.
I am finally at peace. But there is still one more thing to settle.
Amon.
Amon snapped out of the world of sorrow that he had built. His eyes widened as he felt the touch of Robin's lips on his.
Robin? But wasn't Robin.... Dead? But, she was right there, kissing him.
Instinct took over him and instinct preferred to concentrate more on Robin's lips than how Robin went from dead to alive.
Robin started to break off the kiss as soon as she realized Amon snapped out of his oblivion. But to her surprise, he pulled her closer to him and deepened the kiss.
This feels so right.... She thought, as she relaxed into the kiss.
Finally, for after what seems like an eternity, the two broke up for a breath of air.
Robin gazed into Amon's eyes. Once again Amon felt as if she was going through the very essence of him.
She's... so beautiful. Amon had never seen anyone prettier than her. It wasn't her physical looks either that made her beautiful to him.
"Robin.... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that," he apologized, after all of it had sunk into his head. "I shouldn't have kissed you.... I... nearly.... Killed you." Amon choked the last part out.
"Shh. Don't talk. I don't mind. You didn't kiss me, I kissed you." Robin put a finger on his lips. Then she leaned in for another kiss before Amon realized what was going on.
And then it sunk in. Everything sunk in, including....
Amon broke off the kiss, quickly. He turned his head away.
"Robin... You.... You're clothes...." Amon had turned his head away, more for Robin's modesty. After all, it definitely wasn't the first time he'd have seen a naked woman. He was hardly a virgin after all. For heaven's sake! He was 25. Go deal with it.
Robin blushed. Her face was beet red.
"Oh. I got your clothes all wet..." she said, a bit shy after all that had happened. Amon handed her a towel. She accepted it and wrapped it around herself.
"It does not matter. They'll dry. Now get dressed and then come out and tell me exactly what the hell was going on."
Robin nodded her head, though Amon couldn't see it. He got up from his spot on the floor and left the bathroom, closing the door behind him.
A few minutes later, Robin appeared, dressed. Her hair was still damp. She spotted Amon sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at her.
Hesitantly, she walked over to the bed and sat down beside him.
Silence reigned. No one knew where to begin. Finally Amon broke the spell.
"You worried me," he said simply.
"I'm sorry."
"Tell me. What happened? You had no pulse and you would not wake up."
"I.... I fell asleep. And I dreamed."
Amon raised an eyebrow. "Only dreamed?"
"Well.... It.... I don't know where to begin."
"I'm sure you can find somewhere to begin."
"It wasn't an ordinary dream. It wasn't like any of the other dreams of mine...." Robin blushed at this. She continued on.
"It wasn't exactly a premonition. It was like a talk with... myself." Amon raised his eyebrows again at this.
Robin blushed. Then slowly, she began telling Amon everything that had passed during her dream. She told him everything, down to the very last detail.
When Robin finished telling him the whole deal, silence reigned once more. Amon ran his hand through his hair and pushed back his bangs. He let out a breath.
Him? Adam? No way! And now that his powers have resurfaced. It was nearly more than what he could chew.
"What are we going to do? Should we let STN-J know about your powers? Should we let them know about my dream?" Robin asked.
Amon thought for a moment.
"No, I don't think that we should tell them. For now at least."
Robin glanced at him. In his eyes, she saw fear. It was buried deeply in his eyes that it was almost not visible, but it was there.
Amon was afraid. He was afraid of his powers and what Robin had told him. He was afraid that one day his powers would get out of hand.
But what if Robin's dream was just nonsense? But then again, Robin's dream did make sense. Amon wasn't sure what to do. He decided to sleep on it. Maybe he would make sense of anything.
But first, there were other matters to take care of.
"Robin.... In the kitchen...." Amon took a deep breath. Even though Robin knew about his feelings for her, through her dreams, it still didn't make anything easier. Actually, it kind of made things awkward.
"It's ok Amon. I don't mind. I... understand." Robin smiled gently.
Amon glanced at his watch. It was late.
"You should go to bed. It's late." Without waiting to reply, Amon got off the bed and walked into the bathroom.
A couple of minutes later, Amon came out of the bathroom, a towel wrapped around his waist, shirtless, to find Robin sitting on the bed, with her knees tucked under her chin and the comforter covering her.
"What are you doing up? I thought I told you to go to sleep."
"I couldn't sleep. I wanted to wait for you."
Amon did not reply to this. So much was still new to him and he had not adjusted to it all.
The dream of Robin's.... He didn't have to tell her of his feelings for her, she knew now. And he knew of hers. But somehow, it wasn't right.
And what about his strength of will? If he submitted tonight, then what would happen? What if he couldn't hold back and forced himself too quickly?
She is willing though.... Amon cleared his mind. It wouldn't do any good to go down that path. But it wouldn't hurt, to just go on impulse for once? Wouldn't it? Amon sighed.
He grabbed his shirt and pajama pants and headed back into the bathroom to change.
Meanwhile, Robin wasn't without her own thoughts.
Things are getting so confusing? Perhaps I shouldn't have.... Things are too rushed. I am not ready for this. Robin sighed. Would things ever go back to normal? She kind of wished the gang back at STN-J wouldn't have put them through this. But it wouldn't have mattered. Either way, this would've happened, and my feelings for Amon wouldn't have changed. But.... Perhaps I have lived too sheltered. I should take a chance for once.
Amon appeared once more after a couple of minutes.
Wordlessly, he turned off the lights and climbed into bed where Robin was waiting for him. He did not bother to create the gap that was once there, but still, he laid there stiffly. It was an awkward situation.
Robin turned to face Amon, even though she couldn't yet see his face in the darkness. Slowly, she began to drift to sleep.
Amon sensed Robin falling asleep. He could hear her breathing becoming even. But he still laid there, awkwardly, constantly aware of the girl next to him.
Amon was shocked when he felt Robin roll over towards him and snuggle against him. He tensed up. Finally, he relaxed and wrapped his arms around her. Slowly he began to fall asleep, breathing in her scent.
There you go! Another chapter! Pretty uneventful. I'm sorry about that.
I believe that the updates from now on will take a bit longer. Reasons? A) I'm busy with my new domain: and getting the layout up and getting the site running. B) I have to make the layout and revamp Silver Cat Designs, my graphics site. C) I am still trying out DeviantArt, so right now I'm pretty much obsessed with it. D) The chapters are getting more and more complicated to write, so that takes a while.
I would like to make a note. Please, however nice your reviews are, don't ask me to read your fanfics and telling you what I think about them. Do not e-mail me about it either. And please, if you want to e-mail me about things, do not send me chain letters. I get enough junk mail as it is.
Also, please don't tell me what I did wrong in the story concerning the plot, etc., I know what I'm doing. I don't mind if you guys tell me what grammar, spelling mistakes I made. But remember, I'm Canadian, so some of my spelling will be different.
Thanks to the following reviewers for reviewing!
Amon's Angel of Darkness: LOL. Well, I still haven't decided what powers they will have. It will be fun though.
Koharu: Thanks for saying the story rocks!

Vanyaer: Yeah, I'm sorry if you didn't understand the other chapters. But I had it all worked out and this is what's supposed to be going on. You'll see, I'll make everything fit together! LOL.
Sakura-Chan79: Do you live in Canada by any chance? Because my TV channel (YTV) only finished Simple Mind last Friday too!
Escawing: Thanks! Glad you like it.
Sakura Blossom-Cilla-85:P: Yeah, that would be funny. I wish something like that did exist. It'd be so kawaii!

Ami4: I wait until Friday's 11:30 to watch it. Then after it plays, I got straight to bed, because then I can go over it and bla bla bla.
Seashah: There, at last! No cliffie!
Meeko Melody: Yeah, it is getting a bit more serious. But I'm trying to keep it light, without causing the characters to go OOC. But that's hard.
Tvsweetie: Aw.... Don't be sad. Turn that frown upside down! (That's what my friend Megan says to me when I'm sad.... It makes me smile because she does this whole weird thing.)
