𖹭 :: Garth

They've known each other since the team's inception. It's only been three years since that first time he tried to introduce you to the other Titans and ended up failing a bit, though it opened the door to a very beautiful friendship.

They're just teenagers; they don't have much experience with love, and what little they have experienced hasn't exactly been easy. Sometimes they comforted each other, and other times it was Garth who tried to cheer you up after your last breakup.

Over time, that friendship grew stronger, and they began to understand each other better. You knew Garth wasn't a bad person: he has a charming personality and is an exceptional confidant. He feels the same way about you; he considers your personality equally charming and one of the most astute people he's ever met… besides his teammates, of course.

Little by little, their friendship began to transform into something more intimate. Not in a sexual sense, but in that awkward, sweet kind of infatuation that only arises when neither of them has much experience. Neither dared to say anything; they knew that doing so could break their hearts or, in the best-case scenario, bring them back to life.

Until one night, someone slipped a decorated letter under your door. When you opened it, you read:

“I’m certain that, with your electric touch, you could light up my entire life. Would you let me ask you out? If you don’t want to, that’s fine… just let me know if you decide to say no.” — G.”

The lyrics tried to look carefree, but it was obvious that he had put too much effort into making it not seem that way.
