A/N: So I'm still alive. And still trying to write something. And seeing as how I have the next 3 days off, I decided to share some of the stuff I've been working on. I hope you enjoy it. Also it is very sparse but that's because the song that inspired this is very sparse as well. Also anyone have a good title?
Disclaimer: I own nothing, especially not the Maria Mena song Dear that inspired this story.
She cherished their past together. Treasured those days when they had been young and naïve and never meant to last. Love like theirs, the kind you find when you're young and not looking for it, never lasted that long anyway. Not that it made her heartache any easier to bear.
She remembered why they began seeing each other. They were young, alone and scared of the world. Both of them were running from something and fighting their demons, although arguably hers were more dangerous. Together their darkness didn't seem so bad and the nights were never quite as long. They got good at forgetting their life before the team, good at freezing their moments together and holding onto to what they had.
But they blossomed, as one would say, and grew and somewhere along the way they realized that they were no longer little kids, that their demons were gone and that what they'd had wasn't there anymore. Robin never truly belonged with her anyway.
She moved on. Moved out. Tried to live her life and share it with someone new. Someone she believed she could save, and believed she could truly love. But Sebastian's rage was a force of nature, a roaring tornado that blew her world apart, and shook her hard-earned calm control and woke the Rage she worked so hard to keep at bay. It took a bloody nose, a broken arm and a beyond livid Tamaranean princess before she admitted that this love was slowly killing her.
She thought dating a civilian would be better, quieter, and safer. Thought that maybe this time things would be normal and life would go gently on its way. But he made their relationship public fodder and fed off the curious, invasive questions and stares. There were no sacred topics between them. She put the walls back 'round her heart and refused to let him in. She left him without a goodbye or a well wish. It was easier than she thought to walk away and just forget him.
She thought she'd seen it all before. After all she and Gar had lived together, she knew all his tricks and had been shown all he had to offer. But he threw her for a loop when he stopped playing games, when he challenged her opinions of herself and when he let the real him show through. When he showed up at her doorstep, heart in hand, telling her that she was the one he wanted and always had been. They were always meant to be together. They just had to grow a little first.
A/N: So this is barely 500 words. Goodness this is short. I hope you liked it. Leave me a review. Encouragement is always welcomed.
