Roy awoke to Oliver Queen, better known as Green Arrow calling his name. He groaned as he slid out of bed, throwing his hair into a messy bun. His glistening blue orbs were still foggy when he made his way downstairs. He paused at the base of the stairs unsure if he was seeing what he thought he was or if the sleep in his eyes was causing false realities.
Why were the Teen Titans sitting in his kitchen? He looked at Oliver, his eyebrows scrunched together, "what's going on?" he asked , unable to control the shake in his voice. Under normal circumstances he would've been excited but the way ollie was looking at him filled him with dread.
"I'm sorry, Roy.. I realized I couldn't afford this lifestyle anymore and did what I had to.. I- I sold you to the Teen Titans." he quickly turned away, certain he wouldn't be able to handle Roys reaction.
With Ollie's back to Roy he looked around the room as if waiting for everyone to start laughing, waiting for the "surprise!! we just wanted to recruit you!" but it never came.
his eyes filled with tears as he stuttered," cmon, ollie. Jokes over this isn't funny??" he turned from the titans, trying to shield himself. He didn't wanna be seen like this.
Oliver shook his head, "this isn't a joke, roy. Go pack." His voice was firm and final and all Roy could do was stare for a moment before turning around and storming up the stairs.
He slammed his door shut and threw himself down on his bed. He could vaguely hear a conversation down stairs but he was too lost in his sorrow to pay attention.
That's why he nearly jumped out of his skin when he heard a knock on his door. He sat up, his small hands wiping away his tears as he mumbled, "come in.."
The door slowly opened and in walked Dick Grayson. His.. well his favorite. He'd always had a crush on dick but he'd never imagined he'd meet him like this.
Dick stepped forward, wiping away a stray tear on Roy's cheek. "Hey, don't cry. This isn't all bad."
Roy blushed and looked away, "easy for you to say, you didn't get sold today." Despite the events that lead to this moment, Roy couldn't help the butterflies that bloomed in his stomach.
Roy should be scared, terrified even, but all he could focus on was the feel of Dicks soft hand on his face.
"You're right, I'm sorry." Dick whispered, "I don't know what this is like for you.. but I promise.. I will protect you."
Roy looked back at him, his features painted with confusion. "protect me? protect me from what?"
Dick shook his head, "don't worry about that right now. Here, let me help you pack." Dick carefully grabbed Roy's daily hand, helping him out of bed.
Once roy was up they both made quick work of packing, grabbing whatever roy deemed essential. The sight of all of Roy's belongings in bags on his bed made his eyes water again. As he turned to get away from the sight he tripped unintentionally falling into dicks strong arms.
"Don't worry.. I'll always catch you." Dick muttered a slight smirk playing on his lips. Roy looked up at him , blushing at how his small frame fit perfectly against Dick. He stared into Dicks orbs, captivated by them. They seemed to inch closer and closer as if drawn together like magnets but before they could do anything dick spoke again. "We should go down stairs, it's time to go.."
Roy cleared his throat and nodded , pulling away from him before grabbing his bags off the bed. He looked back at his bedroom one last time before they went back downstairs. Everyone was watching the two of them as Dick took his bags but he didn't pay them any mind. Instead he looked at Ollie.
Oliver watched him for a moment, departing his final words. "...i- i really am sorry , roy."
Roy nodded , words caught in his throat, he couldn't say anything. Luckily for him Dick guided him away , and over to the team. "Goodbye Mr. Queen." Dick called back as they walked out.
Dicks guiding hand made Roy feel better, more confident that this wouldn't be the worst experience of his life . They stopped outside of his now old home , giving him the chance to take it all in . He looked for a moment and sighed before turning around, ready to begin the new chapter of his life.
Little did Roy know that the teen titans were actually a pack of werewolves.
