Jealousy Part 2
Rachel and Kory in the training room.
"You lean too much on your powers, Rachel." Kory mentions
"Because there's no need when I can easily destroy at my will." Raven sasses
"Yes. But one day" Kory surprise throws at her. "You may not be as keen to use it as you do now."
"All she needs is a little practice." Damian came and stood in the hallway leaning against the wall
"Be my guest" Kory adds and walks out
"Practice huh?" Rachel lays a hand on her hip
"Oh.. I think with some good practice." He grabs a combat stick and walks closer to her "You'll not only kick ass with your magic but with your defenses" He hands her a stick.
"Relax. Focus on me." Moving slow to sudden "Don't expect me to make the same moves. Be prepared." As she followed his moves
She pinned her stick against him. "Use your surroundings" He pulled her by the stick and twirled her around where her back is against him. Feeling surprised and a little flustered
Walking in the training room to tell the others dinner is ready Beast boy a little surprised "What's this?"
Damian and Raven both looked up "Damian was just training me"
Gar fighting the urge to make any expression to give himself away. "Dinners done" then walked away
"So, Damian you think Rachel has any luck of combat?" Kory jokes
"Oh.. she may have some luck" he jokes while he and Rachel snicker
Gar gets up only eating half of his plate
"Gar? You barely ate." Kory concerned
"I'm not really hungry, Kory. But thanks it was good" Walking to the training room
Rachel sensing something was wrong
Kory and Rachel washing up the dishes after dinner.
"Did Gar seem.. different?" Rachel asks
"I think it's odd he didn't go for a second plate."
"Yea.. I don't think when he saw me and Damian he was acting odd too"
"What was it he saw?" Kory asks
"Just Damian showing me a move. I don't know maybe I should talk to him." Rachel says
In the training room
Gar punching the everlast bag taking his rage out.
"If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were a Wayne too" Damian walks in
Gar ignores
"Dude.. let's just have it out." Damian blurts out
"Excuse me?"
"It's Rachel. Am I wrong?"
Gar scoffing and punching the bag again
"Look. I get it. She's a great girl. Im not trying to be a deuce but she's a big girl"
Gar growls in response to his explanation "Do you hear yourself? I know she's a big girl. I know she can make any decision. But Rachel has been my friend and If I wanted her, I could have her."
He scoffs. "Are you entailing something here..Garfield?"
"Nothing at all." Gar scoffs and walks off
After Gar showering he put his pants on and went to the kitchen to grab some water.
Rachel hearing him she walks in there too. "Hey, stranger."
He lifts his head. "Hey, rach."
"Are you ok? You finished dinner early and that's not like you."
"Worried about little ol me?"
She softly laughs "Maybe just a little" she walks closer to him
"So..You're wanting to work on combat,huh?" He says leaning against the counter
"Apparently"
"Well, why didn't you come to me?" Gar curious
"I wasn't aware I needed it.. then Damian stepped in and wanted to help"
Gar scoffs. "No kidding"
"What's that suppose to mean?"
"I'm just saying..He's kind of.. leechy isn't he?" Gar mocks
"What do you mean?" Rachel crosses her arms
"I'm just saying.. Guy see's a cute girl that needs training..Smell that one a mile away" Gar mimicked and scoffs
"Oh so.. I'm cute?" She teases
He chuckles. "You're definitely under that category.." He glares into her eyes
"By whom exactly?" She steps closer
Gar stroking a finger across her cheek.
"You think you are so sly, huh?" She blushes
"Depends." He shrugs
"On what?"
"If it's working."
The heat between them filling the room and knowing what they both want but still feel too far to do it.
"We should..um.." Rachel scratching her ear and looking away not not wanting to do something that would only hurt her friendship
Gar reaching out to her hand and pulling her close and embracing her with a kiss. His hands in her hair and her surprised but melting in his lips and holds onto his shoulders.
As they pulled away, they analyzed their expressions.
"I did not expect you-" Rachel stuttered
"I know.. I'm sorry." He felt worried
"What? No. I.. like you did it.." she blushes
"Really? So for future preference.. If I were to kiss you again" he jokes
"Oh so you have a plan?"
"Oh I didn't tell you? Yea I definitely foresee another kiss.. maybe you even kissing me back?"
"You caught me off guard is all..But maybe you and I could both be in the plan next time" Rachel stepped closer to him giving him goosebumps
