A/N: I'm really tired to do tht review-y thing i do. But hey guys! i didnt read this one over so sorry for mistakes. AND let me no who u think she shud choose ;) morphious444 helped me out, id be nothing without her.
I wake up and yawn. Yesterday was… unusual. I guess I'm kind of screwed.. In both senses of the word. Now that X likes me, well… I guess he still gives me that fuzzy feeling inside and- AZAR! WHAT AM I SAYING? I sound like Starfire! I sit up and swing my legs over the side of the bed, deciding to sit there for a bit until my mind comes back. 8:00am. I OVERSLEPT! I quickly get up, throwing on my cloak and leotard. I turn to the bed to yell at X- who's not there? I don't have time to think about it as I make my way to the kitchen, hoping that maybe he made me coffee or tea. He's not there either. I feel confused and slightly nervous but I have to get back to the tower. I run through the apartment building and when I get down stairs I decide to levitate myself home.
I get in through my window to see my room empty. I feel slightly nervous still, but relieved. I stand in the middle of the room, trying to think through what happened. I decide to mess up my bed and throw some clothes on the floor, make it look lived in. I get into some purple and black plaid flannel pajama pants and one of Robin's loose t-shirts, making sure to ruffle my hair.
I walk out of my room and make my way toward the living room. I open the door, and attempting to look normal, I ignore everyone and go into the kitchen. I hear slightly muffled laughter from the living room and chatting. It's unusually quiet, like no one's yelling. That's new. I clang around the kitchen a bit, taking the tea kettle and filling it with water.
"Hey, she's awake!" I hear a man say. I'd recognize that voice anywhere, X, err, Jason.
I drop the kettle. It drops to the floor with a clank and the water flows onto the floor. I fluster about, picking up the kettle and putting it on the counter and reaching for a cloth. I look into the living room quickly. Jason is sitting on the couch, his arm over the side, and slightly twisted to see me. Beast Boy is sitting on his right, and Starfire wearing a gleeful smile on his left. Robin is leaned against the window, arms crossed, watching Jason skeptically.
I start mopping up the mess with the small dishrag. "W-what are you doing here?"
He smiles, "Well, I just thought I'd come see you this morning."
"Yes, friend Raven, your cousin is most glorious!" Starfire exclaims.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE RELATED!" Beast Boy yelled, "He's soo cool! And funny!"
I roll my eyes, "Thanks for saying I'm not?"
Cyborg chuckles, "BB's having a bromance."
They all turn to look at Robin, who hadn't has his input on the subject yet. He just glares at Jason from under his mask, "Yeah. I can't believe you're related either…"
I get up and set the cloth on the counter. I stumble over to the couch.
"Shouldn't you be at work? " I ask, gesturing toward the door with my eyes.
"No," he replies, "Why'd you wake up so late?"
I grunt, asshole. Bastard. Fucking asshole. Jerk face. What's his deal? Can't he just make this easy for me?
"I was up meditating. I lost track of time…"
"Oh," he smirks, "Then uh, why don't you give me a tour?"
I glance at Robin, hoping his trust issues will come in handy, and he'll get me a way out of this.
"Uh, well, Robin doesn't really-"
"No, Rae, it's totally fine," Robin saunters over to me and wraps his arms around my waist, "Show him around."
I know for a fact that he doesn't trust Jason. I can sense it, it's radiating off of him, he doesn't trust either of us. He leans down and kisses me, gentle this time, as if he's savoring it. Like it won't happen again. Like it's our last.
I smile, but for some reason want to cry. I turn and walk, knowing Jason is right behind me. We get out in the hall and the act ends.
"You know, Sunshine, you can't get rid of me that easily."
I tighten my lips and turn to him. "Why'd you come here? Why are you making this hard on me? What is your problem?"
"MY problem? Why, Princess, I don't have a problem. It's you who has the problem. I told you last night, I like you. And your words clarified it last night, you said I could've left, that I don't have to share you. Well, I agree. I don't have to share you. You're going to have to choose, Rae."
"Azar, X, please don't do this…"
"Though, you don't have to choose. If I told Bird Boy, well, then you'd only have one choice…"
Then is when my mind pulls up the cheat code to this game. This stupid, pointless game.
"No, X, you can't do that."
"But, Sunshine! It's my game! I live by my own rules…"
"No, X. This is my game. You can't tell Robin. Here are the new rules: You can't tell Robin. You can't tell any titans. And you can't just show up and strut around the tower!"
"Oh? And why is that?"
"Because I know your full name. I know your location. I have your picture, your identity. If I were to tell Robin any of this…"
He scoffed, "Well done, Sunshine. But there's a difference between you and me…"
"And what's that?"
"You don't have the guts. You don't have the heart. You would just be getting rid of me and Robin. Wouldn't you have to explain to Robin how you obtained such information?"
Shit. He got me. He randomly turns to the door next to him.
"What's in there?"
"It's Robin's room," I answer.
He punches in a code and the door opens. At first, I don't even think about the door opening and him stepping in, I think about how he got in.
"Uh… you know his override code?"
He smirks and a smug expression sits on his face as he pulls me in and lets the door slide closed, "It was a guess."
"You guessed his override code on the first time?"
"One-four-three-five."
I tilt my head to the side, "That's random."
"No it isn't. It means, 'I love you, Raven."
I smile and silently 'awww' in my mind. 1- I. 4- Love. 3- You. 5- Raven.
Then panic hits as I take in my surroundings. I'm in Robin's room! With a criminal! This isn't good! We shouldn't be here!
"Uh, Jason, we have to get out of here. Now."
I turn to leave and he grabs my arm, pulling me back.
"What's the rush there, Sunshine?" He leers at me.
"We can't be in here, X."
"But, we already are. Why not spend some more time?" He throws me onto the bed.
"No, I'm serious. We can't be in here." I move to get up but he just pushes me back onto the bed.
"What's wrong, Little Bird?" He asks, taking his shirt off and tossing it to the floor.
"Uh, JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING!" I move again to get up and he pushes me back down, holding me down this time. "Let me go! This isn't funny!"
He wastes no time in pulling my pants off and throwing them to the floor. He then plays with the waist of my panties.
"Not funny? It's not a joke, Cutie. I want you. Here. Now."
"No, not here. Please," I plead as he kisses my neck. He hesitates but decides to kill some time by trying to pull my shirt off. I kick my legs, my powers not working from being too flustered. He straddles me, holding my arms down, trying to restrain me.
"You're making it harder than it has to be," he regards.
"So are you! Please, X, not here…" I beg. I feel him let up, he's getting off. Thank Azar…
"But why not, Rae?"
"This is Robin's room…"
"Then it'll be more fun. I mean, don't you think it'd be kinda dangerous and fun?" He obviously really has no reason except for spite to Robin. I sigh and eventually agree. Letting him take off my shirt and kiss my neck, touching me with those hands…
Robin POV
That guy is nothing but trouble. He's definitely not her cousin. There's something going on here. I sigh, leaving the living room and heading to my room. She wouldn't cheat on me- uhm, but she is? Well… I don't know that yet. For all I know this actually could be her cousin. I walk over to my room and punch in the override code. I walk in and- WHAT THE FUCK? The picture before me is, well, messed up. 'Jason' is straddling Raven on the bed. MY bed! I stand there in shock for a second as he kisses her neck. She whispers something to him that I can't make out. Then, I hear her moan.
"Mmmm, Jaaason…"
I just gape, I swear to God, if they get off on my bed…. I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE'S CHEATING ON ME! I feel sadness, disappointment, betrayal, then, anger.
He slips his hand down her panties, beginning to peel them off.
I walk over and tap on his back, how they didn't notice me is beyond my knowledge. He turns and looks at me, that smug look held in his smirk. I punch him, hard. He hits the floor and I quickly turn back to Raven. He lies there, in her sexy little panties and bra. I can feel my face getting hot.
"Raven?" I shout, then without anything really intelligent to say I yell, "WHAT THE FUCK?"
Her face goes from shock, to fear, then she quickly scrambles off of the bed.
"Robin!" She addresses me. Obviously she doesn't know what to say either. We're both just speechless, until someone breaks the silence.
"Sorry, Bird Boy, but Sunshine here needs a real man," Jason says from behind me, spinning me around and landing a heavy punch to my stomach. Then everything becomes so much clearer. I hit the floor and it's like the world freezes, yet I'm just pumped with adrenalin. Red-X. I can't believe it.
Even though I have no idea what's going on, I get up to see him caressing her shape as she tries to push him away from her.
I get up and grab him, spinning him just like he did me. I land a right hook to his jaw, then a round-house kick to his face. I go to throw another punch but he grabs my hand, twisting my arm back. I throw a foot back, landing it right to his crotch. Low blow, but I have no mercy. I quickly climb on top of his lying form, throwing punch after punch to his face. Then, what I couldn't believe happened. I was thrown off him, then restrained on the ground on the floor.
I struggle to get up, but her black magic holds me tight. I see her cheeks stained with tears, "Please, Robin. You must understand…"
"What's there to understand?" I ask, "That you cheated on me? That you lied to me? That you snuck around behind my back?"
I look over to see she is restraining Red-X too.
"That it wasn't- I'm not-" She struggles and stumbles for the right words, she lets out a sob then tries to correct herself, "I love you."
I scoff, "Then, why Raven?"
Jason POV
I swear to God, if she starts groveling and saying how much she loves him and that I mean nothing, somebody will get hurt. I can't believe the way this worked out.. It worked out perfectly! As planned, well mostly. I didn't expect Boy Blunder to attack me, or for hi to come in so early. I mean, we didn't have sex yet. So if she picks him, I don't even get a parting gift! Still, though, I'm not sure what I'll do if she chooses him.
Raven POV
Azar, what do I say? Maybe I could try the truth? I take a deep breath, get it over with.
"Robin, you wouldn't have sex with me. I kinda needed that. But you wanted to wait, I understood that. I understand now that it was because you wanted it to be special, you wanted there to be love. But, I didn't get it, so I guess Jason helped me through that."
He looks pissed. He looks like he wants to cry AND tear my head off at the same time. I look over to Jason. Robin pretty much punched the smug look off of his face. I don't know what more to say or do, and Robin's pretty speechless.
"I just need some time to think and clear my mind…" Robin said. I let him go. I let Red-X go to.
"You can't have both of us, Sunshine. You better make up your mind," and he was gone too. Yeah, I have to make up my mind and choose. But, I'm not sure if Robin would take me back. God, they can't just expect me to pick, well I understand but… I shouldn't have gotten myself into this…
Hmmm, I hate to say it but I pick...
