"May we meet again,"

angsty starters ( + sad qoutes / song lyrics. )

     He said nothing as their eyes locked for a moment. He couldn’t find the words to say; what could he say? Nothing he could say could make Robin stay in their world; nothing could save her life and ensure she would remain by his side forever. Nothing would stop her from dissolving into nothingness along with the Fell Dragon due to her selfless sacrifice.

     No, all he could do was watch uselessly as she disintegrated. All he could do was look his wife in the eye and silently plead with her to stay; to not leave him on his own. She had promised to remain by his side, and now… he was losing her. He was losing her and he could do nothing to stop it. For once, he felt utterly powerless.

     But he couldn’t let her go. Not like this. Not without telling her how much he adored her, how much he cared for her! And so as he made to call out to her one last time, she suddenly vanished, and with her disappearance came the raw grief that festered within him like an open wound. It became too much to bear, for the thief would sink to his knees and stare unseeingly at the spot his wife had been standing moments prior.

     He barely registered the wetness on his face. The image of Robin’s soft smile and eyes filled with sadness played over and over in his mind. It was relentless how the image tortured him, for he knew that this time, it was final. He would not see her again, and the one woman he cared for ceased to exist anymore.

     He felt numb. He wouldn’t throw himself into despair like many of her friends did so openly–rather he would detach himself from the group and find a quiet spot to grieve on his own.

     Once away from prying eyes, he let his emotions run freely within him. Anger; betrayal; sadness; grief. It was all Gaius could think of as the tears flowed freely. In an effort to lessen his pain, he slammed his fist against a crumbling wall, heaving sharp gasps as he did.

     He had been powerless to stop it. He was a failure. He had done nothing to save Robin and even more shameful than that, he didn’t get the chance to tell her that he loved her one last time. The guilt clawed at him from within and try as he might, he could not quell the sorrow that rooted itself deep within him.

    “Bubbles… I’m sorry…” he murmured to himself as he let the grief overshadow him.
