MARIA'S P.O.V
Surprise! I thought in my head. That must have come as a nasty shock to Robin. Not as much as the shock of me being dead. I didn't see that coming. I died. Yes, I was relieved that I survived, but then again maybe not. I did some pretty odd things in that desperate time. Oh my gosh. I put my hand to my mouth. I gasped.
"What is it?" Robin said stepping closer to me.
"I-I told you-I told you that I- I loved you" I said, starring up at him. He was laughing. Glad he thought this was funny. I told him I loved him! I have never really said that to anyone.
"I know." He replied. "I am pretty irresistible". As he said this, he leaned his head close to mine, so close our noses were touching.
He suddenly went still, and became serious. I began to think something was wrong. That was, until he spoke.
"I love you to" he said, plainly. He must have rehearsed it. He brushed his lips with mine, ever so slowly. He put his hands on the small of my back, and pulled me closer. Where once there was endless, and eternal space between us, was now nothing. We closed all space out from between us.
The kiss that was supposed to be short, and sweet, became deeper by the second. Before I knew it, Robin had lifted me up, off my feet, and slowly mad his way over to the couch. He placed me down slowly, and gentaly.
I felt Robin shiver. Was he afraid? I know I was, but I never thought he would be.
"Robin," I said in a whisper "are you okay?"
He kissed me further, making it deeper, and grunted a yes. He pulled away from me, but stayed so close that his lips brushed mine when he spoke.
"I couldn't help but notice that I am in a different change of clothing" I smiled.
"Ah. Right. I forgot about that little part. In my defense," he said, stealing kiss "I did think you were dead."
"Then why are you holding back?" I said, teasingly.
"Because this time you're alive." He said, and then added, "But maybe I was wrong"
"Maybe you were" I said.
Not a second after I said that, did he kiss me, hard and firm, with no regrets. I kissed him back. He took his jacket off, and I helped him. I heard it slide to the floor with a thud. As our kisses became, yet, deeper, I clawed at his shoulder. His hands drifted from my head, to where my thigh was. I felt his grip tighten.
He slowly started to unbutton my dress. That's where I drew the line. I backed his hands away, but continued to kiss him. For a while, nothing happened. Until he tried to do it again. I threw him off of me. He fell to the floor with a heavy thud.
"What the hell Maria?" he yelled at me. His eyes didn't look angry though, they looked hurt. I was the one that caused that. He thought I didn't trust him. He was wrong.
I turned away from him, and ran toward the tunnel entrance. Tears spilled from my eyes. I could hear him running after me, calling my name. I didn't stop, how could I? I couldn't face him, not like this.
I managed to make it to the door that lead out of the moon princess's room. Then Robin grabbed my wrist and spun me around. He pressed his chest close to me, and looked into my eyes. For a second, I thought he was going to hurt me. He didn't.
"Maria, I'm sorry. I went out of control." He said. Now he looked hurt because I was hurt. "I got mad because I thought you didn't trust me"
"Robin, I do trust you. I just got scared" I said, pulling him closer, until there was no room.
"Then we won't do it. I promise, I will hold back. But can we try again?" he asked.
I nodded my head. He grabbed my arm and led me back down into the depths of the tunnel.
