(Y/n's pov)
The first time I met Gar he bit me right on the neck in front of everyone, I was afraid of him at first but he apologized telling me he didn't understand why he did it. Slowly but surely we started to get to know one another and we fell in love, well more like I took my time falling in love. Gar always tells me that he's been in love with me since he first saw me but I never could understand why. The bites became normal for me since Gar always bit me, he loved marking up my neck and if it wasn't for my sweaters and turtlenecks everybody would always see them, but that all changed after the incident.
The Titans were just about to take on a dangerous mission to take down a H.I.V.E base but Gar was extremely against me joining in since he thought I was too unprepared for a mission. Several days prior to the mission I feel gravely ill and suffered a terribly high fever, Raven stood watch over my feverish body, which shocked everyone since I was mostly immune to poisons. No one really understood why I got sick until a blood test was ran, I had been affected by venom that was introduced to my system on multiple occasions. Antivenom was quickly pulled in for me but I were benched until I were fully recovered. Everyone left for the mission andI was left alone in the tower until they returned. Garfield smiled seeing me rest so peacefully but his chest squeezed at the feeling of guilt he had for what he had done. The mission was as serious as Kori had stated, Jaime and Dick were hospitalized for their injuries and everyone else was scratched, beaten, and bruised. He only poisoned me so I could avoid the mission but knowing that a loving act that he always preformed on me was secretly a weapon made him feel terrible. The green skinned teen walked quietly to my bedside and kissed my soft lips before he returned to his room but he had already been caught.
"Do you always poison those you love?", Damian growled glaring into Gar's yellow hues.
"What are you talking about? I would never poiso-"
"Coral snake venom and Eastern Diamondback Venom? How would those two completely different species of snakes get into the tower and bite only one person out of the whole team?", Damian asked getting more and more sarcastic as his anger began to boil.
I may have been weak but their bickering outside my door had caused me to stir and to see what was going on. I listened from the other side of my closed door to the whole conversation and I was ridiculously surprised when Gar admitted to what he had done to me.
"Okay so I poisoned her before the mission, but I only did it because I love her! I didn't want to see her hurt like the rest of us what did you expect me to do?!", Garfield screamed getting agitated by Damian the more they spoke.
My door slid open but I guess due to their tunnel vision they didn't hear it, I watched as Garfield changed into a bear and tried to swing his claws at Damian but on impulse my body moved on its own. Soon Gar had stopped, one claw broke the skin of my neck causing me to bleed as I struggled to stand due to my fever. He retracted his claws and turned back to normal worrying about me until I had slapped his face out of anger.
"Y-you wanna know what I expected you to do? I-I expected you to believe I could fight in this mission and protect me while I did the same for you but I guess that was to much to ask huh?", I hissed baring my fangs at my green skinned boyfriend before fainting in Damian's arms.
I haven't talked to Gar since, it's been almost three weeks now but I'm not ready to even look at him. I can't stand to see him smile, when he tries to flash a grin at me I get mad seeing his fangs because of how they hurt me. My neck is littered in old bite scars because of how nibbly he used to be but now I just look at them with hate and confusion. Why would he do something like that to me? Why would something I grew so fond of end up being the very reason I almost died?
"(Y-y/n).", A voice called behind me.
I froze up in shock but ignored it realizing that it was him, I quickly started to speed walk to my only to hear him running after me. Just when I thought I had lost him I could feel a snake's body wrap around my own. I was soon meet by the eyes of a green boa but all I wanted to do was cut up this stupid snake and feed him to the seagulls.
"(Y/n), Babycakes, listen to me please. I-I know what I did was wrong but please can we just talk this out?", He hissed rubbing his snake head against my cheek.
"How about you stay as the treacherous snake you are and leave me the hell alone!"
I phased through his body with my powers and continued to make my way to my room, soon I was wrapped up in my pillows and blankets trying my best to ignore him but even I knew that he had already snuck into my room. I felt his weight sink in at the foot of my bed but stayed silent.
"(Y/n)...I-I know I messed up big time...but I want you to know I only did it because I wanted to keep you out of harms way. Jaime is just starting to recover and Dick is still at the hospital, that's what I was trying to avoid with you. If I lost you I wouldn't know what to do.", Gar sighed patting my legs through my blanket to try and get an answer out of me.
He frowned at my continuing silence and begged me to respond to him but I did nothing of the sort!
"(Y/n)... Babe please... Please talk to me.", He begged cuddling up to my sheet covered body, "I can't take this silence anymore. I want to cry every second you're not smiling at me and I regret my choices with each passing day. (Y/n) it's been three weeks please say something to me!"
I phased through his arms and my sheets and sat on the window sill of my bedroom staring out at the ocean. Garfield was already struggling to choke back tears and absentmindedly rubbed the same cheek I had slapped. I glared at him and just sighed, I didn't know what to tell him, I wasn't satisfied enough with what I heard. Gar's tears started to finally fall and I watched him with an unamused expression. Before he could comprehend what was going on I hugged him and bit down hard enough on his neck o make him bleed. He trembled to my touch but I stayed still and made sure not to let go until I was satisfied.
"Gar...I can't trust you. Not after what you did, I don't even want to be a thing with you anymore.", I admitted making him cry more.
The tears wouldn't stop falling, he nuzzled his head into the crook of my neck making me tense up but it was just too cry on my shoulders. Of course I felt bad, of course I still loved him, but what if he poisoned me again and killed me next time?
"Babe, I-I will make it up to you. I'm gonna spoil you until your drowning in my love, I'm gonna prove to you that we're meant to be together even if I'm a total screw up.", Gar cried kissing my ear sweetly.
I glared at him and phased through his arms before leaving him to continue his tantrum alone, "If you want to change that bad than love bites are no longer a thing between us until I trust you again."
"Right....I love you."
"Yeah....sure you do."
