Young Justice (Fanfiction)

\|VOICE III|/

9:08 P.M
Mount Justice

I huddled myself inside the room.

Ten minutes had passed after Dick and I got back in the Mount Justice. The moment we took a step inside, I ran towards my room and ignored everyone's call.

Batman would surely chew me out if I don't show my face to him right at this moment. But I seriously was not in the mood to do so.

My body aches, my eyes ache, my heart aches...I'm so hurt that I just want to self-destruct if I had the ability to. I don't want to complain about this whole thing with Dick because both him and I were just not good enough. Even if I wanted to have something between us, we just can't.

Knock knock

I glared at the door hoping that the person behind it would feel my feelings right now.

"Go away!" I said.

My tears kept on rolling down my cheeks and I sniffed as the pain in my heart made me sobbed once again.

The door opened after a second. I turned my head towards it and glared at the person. Even after I told whoever it was to leave me alone, it still got the guts to get inside. Pissed off, I quickly hopped off the bed and was about to punch the person behind the door until it showed itself to me. Automatically, my hand stopped mid-air while staring at the person.

It had been four years since I'd seen this person, yet the nostalgic feeling came rushing in to me.

"Conner." I blurted, surprised to see his face once again.

"Hey, how are you?" He smiled. He closed the door beside him and stood before me with both of his hands inside his jean pockets. "Should I still go away?"

I blinked a few times before taking my clenched fist back and folded my arms. "Well, you're already inside."

He chuckled. "Wow. I...uh, can't believe my eyes. You look so different now."

The way he pulled his right hand and scratched the back of his neck made me relax. His shyness towards me still hadn't changed. I smiled at him, staring deeply at his blue eyes.

"It's nice to see you again, Conner." I said.

I pulled my left hand and slid it on the side of Conner's face. He jumped when I did that, but he smiled right after taking his right hand back and placing it on top of mine, giving a little squeeze.

"You look well. I'm glad about that." I softly said. "It was quite hard not able to contact you guys."

"I quickly went back after the others informed me that you were back." He quickly said, biting his bottom lip. "I mean, you just went away after we rescued you. Although you stayed for quite some time, and me remembering about you from the time I was still in a capsule, it just felt...unfair. Especially for me."

"Sorry." Was all I could say.

His deep blue eyes were locked on mine. For a while we stood, like our eyes did the talking for us. Until I felt his hand on my hand pulled it towards him, making my body to fall on him. His arms ran around me, hugging me like it was the last. I was utterly shock from his action that I was frozen on my spot.

Back then, I remembered him clinging to me like this. Though, that time I was the one who hugged him first.

"Conner?" I called.

"Just a minute. Please. Just let me...for a minute."

His voice sounded like he was on the verge of giving up. The both of us were vulnerable at this time. Both of us were in pain, and just like this, clinging unto each other was enough to understand one's pain.
