[Mar 6] [Teen Titans] Am Not
Title: Am Not
Day/Theme: 6. You are everything I--.
Series: Teen Titans
Character/Pairing: Raven, Starfire (not a pairing. I swear.)
Rating: G
Tall. Tan. Bright-eyed. Flowy-haired.
Cute. Cheerful.
Goofy. Likeable.
Friendly.
Next to her, I seem even more pale and shadowed and surly than I really am. Even when we are side by side, most things with eyes would never guess we are friends. Sometimes even I find it hard to believe.
Brightness and darkness. Unbridled emotion and unfeeling control. It would be easy to despise each other. And don’t think there haven‘t been moments. But light cast on darkness throws what’s hidden into sight. I couldn’t stay in the dark forever. Even when I flinched from the light, it was a relief to be seen.
And I know it’s a relief for her too. To not have to be a princess. To not have to be a warrior. To blend into the shadows just a little. To be able to hide, for once. She thinks I’m cool. And mysterious and graceful. She envies what she perceives to be my lack of chagrin. And as embarrassing as that can be to pick up from her thoughts, it’s a nice feeling as well. Because I’m everything she isn’t, too.
