I DON'T OWN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS IN THIS STORY.
Thank you to those reading my story. If there is any suggestions just let me know.
Raven
What the hell is Robin thinking? It would be wonderful to be able to marry him. But he deserves better than this, than me.
"Robin, we can't get married. I couldn't let you do that; it wouldn't be fair to you at all. I don't want you to be trapped in a marriage and what about you and Starfire? That would mess up your chances with her". As much as it pains me to say this Starfire is probably better for him. There is less drama with her plus he really likes her.
"Raven I know what I am saying. Trust me, I would not feel trapped being married to you at all. I know you don't see me as a good suitor for you, but why not give this a try. It could possibly save the world. And this has nothing to do with Starfire. I don't like her like that she is just a close friend." He said.
"Really? I always thought you had a thing for her" She surely clings onto him and he would blush whenever people teases him about her.
"I liked her the first week she joined the titans, but after that I just came to see her as a friend. People just assume that we like each other so they always talk about it. It can be embarrassing sometimes". Well that explains why he blushes
"Raven you didn't answer my question" Robin stepped closer and got down on one knee. "Will you marry me?"
I never thought this would happen. Never did I believe that someone, espicailly Robin would actually propose to me. I do not know what to think about it. Should I say no or yes.
"Yes I will marry you, but if this marriage doesn't or doesn't stop Trigon we can get it annulled right after" Don't want him to suffer longer than he has to
Robin smiled and said "Deal, but who knows maybe we could stay married either way" he then stepped closer and kissed me on the cheek. I felt my cheeks burn it must be really red right now.
"So when do we tell the others and go to Azarath?" said Robin
"How about we tell them after the wedding, since we didn't tell them about the second half of the prophecy. Let's just do it and see what happens. How about we go to Azarath when the team goes out for pizza tomorrow"
"Alright, I'll just make up an excuse and say I am too busy training. Then you can say you don't feel like going out" he said.
"It's getting late, I guess I will head back to my room. Goodnight Raven"
"Goodnight Robin" I said as he closed my room door.
Part of me feels so excited about the thought of marrying Robin, but I am also skeptical about the whole thing. I know I am in love with him, but he is not with me. Could the love of friendship be what we need to stop my father or do we need more?
I guess we will find out tomorrow evening. I may as well try and get some sleep now.
Robin's POV
So Raven and I are really getting married, hard to believe. I wish tomorrow would just come so we can jump into it.
I will make sure to do whatever I have to do to stay married to Raven and get her to fall in love with me.
The next day
Me and Raven followed the plan and told the titans our excuses. As soon as they were officially away from the Titans tower we teleported to Azarath.
We walked to the temple and saw Raven's mother and what looks to be a monk.
"Raven you have returned, and your friend is here also. I assume he is who you chose to marry" "Yes mother" replied Raven
"Good, I thought he was the one for you from the last time you were here" I felt the heat rise in my cheeks. So her mom approves of me, cool. We walked to the head of the temple and stopped at an altar.
"Let's begin the ceremony. Raven and Robin join hands". I took of my gloves and then took Raven's hands. Then Arella and the monk started to speak in a weird language, I looked up at Raven and she mouthed that it is the language of Azarath. I looked down to see a bright light forming around both me and Raven. Two bright orbs of light formed over our hands.
"Robin do you promise to love, respect, and cherish Raven for the rest of your life? Said Arella
"I promise".
"Raven do you promise to love, respect, and cherish Robin for the rest of your life.
Raven looked at her mother then back towards me. Does she not want to do this, why is she hesitating?
"I promise" she replied. The two orbs of light formed one big one.
"Raven, you have chosen the one you are destined to be with. But the fight is not over. I told you earlier that in order to stop Trigon you have to share a unbreakable bond with someone who loves you. I said that will happen through the marriage and power of true love. Right now, your feelings are unknown to each other and both of you are unsure. You have to explore both of your feelings for that to happen. Try and do it as soon as possible, you still have some time left. And your marriage isn't totally complete until you consummate it. "Then Raven and I teleported back home.
Consummated it? So Raven and I are supposed to have a wedding night? I have to make love to Raven! I have no problem with that, but is she ready for that. I don't want to push or force her into it.
I looked at Raven who has been quiet this whole time. "Raven, are you alright?"
She looked at me with a panicked look on her face and said "How are we going to do this? I thought once we got married it would be over. Now I got to get you to fall in love with me. How could I do that?"
I sat close to her and said "You don't have to do that…"
"But my mom said that…" I took her face in my hands and said "You don't have to get me to fall in love with you because I already have".
