Arine Diary | ☑

TALKED

"She's back." Gar whispered to himself. 

Raven turned to look at her previous teammates and lover. Her eyes swelled up with tears as a small smile placed itself on her face. Gar can feel his face getting heated up. She still makes an effect on him. 

He followed her gaze which landed on certain blonde girl. Her eyes and smile reflects her mother. Raven opened her arms as Arine ran and crashed on them. They hugged each other tightly. Arine hugged her mother, thinking if she didn't she might disappear. 

Gar can feel his own tears streaming down the cheek lane. The two most beautiful, wonderful and important women in his life were hugging each other. It was a beautiful scene. 

Arine and Raven broke their hug and Raven kissed her daughter's head tenderly.

"Mom." Arine's voice came as a whisper.

"I know baby." Raven said as she side hugged her. Arine cried on her mother's chest like a small baby. She hugged her waist in a death trap. 

Raven chuckled and said, "If you didn't lose than I will be squeezed to death Ari." 

Arine chuckled as she released Raven still smiling.

Raven removed her gaze from Arine to her team. She smiled at them. Before she had time to respond she was straddled err... Hugged by the Titans. 

"FRIEND RAVEN!" Kori yelled at top of her lungs. Her majestic green eyes shone with pearl tears. 

Raven gently hugged her friend and she cried on her shoulder. 

Cyborg just stood there and was so relieved to see his baby sister. She might not be related to him but she is his sister. 

When Raven hugged all, she moved to Gar. Every Titans held their breath and saw two lovers meeting each other.

Gar stared as Raven made her way towards him. She is just like he remembered. Those same silky smooth violet hair. That slim and curvy body. Her flawless grey skin. And God those eyes. Did he missed them. 

Those beautiful amethyst orbs which hold that sparkle in them. She never showed her emotions. But her eyes. They were full of feelings. Whenever he used to hug her, kiss her, touch her. He can see that love in her eyes. 

He remembered that day, when he realized he was a father to his daughter. Their daughter. That day, how she hold Arine in her arms. Patted her back when she was uncomfortable. And how those same eyes were filled with sorrow when he hold her hand and asked her to break up. 

Now... He can see an emotion. He can't pin point it. He can see love, passion, adoration. But, he can see sorrow, regret, anger. He can see almost all her emotions right now. 

Raven was standing right in front of him. Her amethyst eyes met his emerald ones. Gar felt an electronic shock going through his spine. 

Next step she took, Gar was caught off guard. 

She hugged him. 

After all he did to her... 

She hugged him. It was not the hug she gave to her friends. It was a hug she used to give to him and only him. The hug she gave to him that day when Malchior broke her heart. That day when he asked her on first day. God he missed her hugs. He missed her. 

Slowly he wrapped his strong arms around her and hugged her back. Gar let his tears flow and rest on her shoulder. 

Here he thought he will never see his Raven again, but was he wrong. 

Arine surrounded her parents and hugged both of them. And they hugged back. 

Arine felt she got the family she always wanted. It was only her, her mother and her father. Nothing can be better than this.

"So... What do you want?" Raven asked. 

Gar and Arine were siting on the dining table thinking what they should ask to make. Titans have them this task. Without a doubt in their voice they said... 

"PANCAKES!" 

Raven winced at their loud voice and shot Gar a glare to which he calmed down with Arine. 

"Pancakes it is." Raven mumbled as she followed the recipe.

"I am so happy Mom is back!" Arine exclaimed to her Dad. Fortunately, it was loud enough for Raven to hear. 

"Me too, I wish she never leaves now." Gar said smiling at her.

Raven sighed and placed her pan on stove. Gar and Arine looked at her confusion.

"I am not Alive." 

This caught them off guard. Seriously, their faces look like cartoons. 

"You... Not... A-alive?" Arine asked.

"Yes, I am not alive. I only came here to help you Ari. As soon as my task is done. I will be gone." Raven said. 

"NO!" Gar bursted. 

"You can't leave! Not now Rae. Please, I am sorry for what I did. I forced you for this. I made you what you are today! I make you and our daughter suffer and I am sorry. Don't leave now! Not after all these years. Not again... Please Rae... I love you." Gar was tearful. His emerald eyes were filled with tears. His eyes were glassy, but he was holding his tears. 

Raven looked stunned at first. His out burst took her by surprise. But... He deserves her apology too. 

"Gar, I am sorry but I have to leave. My task is to make sure Ari is safe from Trigon. And when it is over, my time is over. I know you regret what you did and you didn't meant any of it." Her voice was soft. She took a deep breath and continued. 

"You know, all those years ago I left. I regret it. You came to me. You apologized, you said you loved me but I was angry. I didn't trusted you that time. I should have. When you left to break your wedding. I thought. I thought about it. But my mind was so confused. My heart said you are not lying but my mind didn't believed you. It said you leave you and love my own life with my child. And I followed it and I regret it. Later when I calmed down, I realized how wrong I was.

"I was not depressed because I thought you didn't loved me. I was depressed because I was thinking I destroyed your chance. I took away your daughter, I took away your happiness. I was slowly shutting away. I was so scared that you might be crying right now, or you might be hurt that I wasn't able to take my pain anymore. I shut Arine away, I shut everyone away. Just like I used to do. And one day... I had enough. I was so confused that I did what came to my mind first and... and... Y-you know what it is." 

Raven was a crying mess right now. Tears were running down her cheek endlessly. Gar started in shock. Without any other thoughts, he simply captured her petite body in his strong arms. He soothingly ran his fingers through her hair. Just like she loved. Raven cried on his chest. It felt so new know. But... It felt so right. 

Arine watched her parents with a smile. They talked.

They talked about whatever they had in mind. And finally opened up. 

Raven and Gar broke their hug with a smile. Raven tip toed and kissed his forehead. 

And out of know where came a burning smell. 

Gar sniffed and asked, "Where is it coming from." 

"I don't kno- OHMYGOD PANCAKES!" Raven freaked out and ran towards stove. Gar freaked out with her too and started looking for water. 

Arine laughed at her them. Raven was now holding a completely burned pancake. And Gar was rubbing his back of neck nervously. Their talked might've burned their dinner.

But... It was totally worth it.
