Hello everyone! I am taking hiatus from my other two stories, Super Survivor and He's Back, to further their plotlines and such other… authorly stuff! So I bring you this… something I created during free time. I hope you enjoy!
Disclaimer- I do not own Teen Titans!
I sipped my tea slowly watching B.B. and Cy play some game, I really didn't care which one it was. My eyes were peeled for the other boy in the tower. Robin. Lately my thoughts had been drifting to him, sometimes when I was deep in meditation, dreaming, or reading; my mind was always on him. I had no idea why. He was with Starfire, it was plain and simple, they were a match made in heaven and we were all living in a fairy tale.
Everyone except me.
Everyday I would watch them. That was all I could do, watch, be silent, pretend I was content. But for the past week or so, I've noticed by way of watching, they've drifted apart. Robin's demeanor becoming darker, it was filled with… some emotion I could not place a hand on. Starfire stayed clear of him, fearing something within, something… evil? No, I couldn't believe that. It was something… that was for sure… but evil… no, it was something… dark. Like me. And Robin steered away from Star, annoyed with her childish antics and her naïveté. This was all terribly new to me. But I loved it. I had always been drawn to the boy in the black mask, but now… his new personality mystified me… and intrigued me.
"Raven?" B.B.'s high pitched voice droned out the syllables in my name, and drew me out of my thoughts.
"What?" I replied, inwardly annoyed.
"Star, Cy, and me are goin' to a movie… wanna come?" He asked, a hopeful zing to his voice. I rose from the couch and turned to walk away. I sent a glance back to the other titans.
"No." I stated in my normal monotone. I was about to leave the room when a thought struck me. "Did you ask Robin?"
"Friend Robin has… not come out of his room for a long time now… and we do not wish to… disturb him," Starfire covered, a fake grin plastered to her face. Raven's eyebrow lifted.
"You mean, you're afraid to." I whispered. I pulled my hood up over my blushing cheeks and left, heading for my room. I hear Star, Cy and B.B. leave through the basement garage. I leaned up against the hallway, and pulled my hood back down. My breathing was un-regular and I desperately fought to get it under control. What was going on? When Star had said that, an emotion rose up in me. A raw uncontrolled emotion. I saw fear in those bright green eyes. And I hated her for it. But why? I knew then, but I wouldn't admit it to myself.
A set of footsteps roused me. I jumped upright, meeting the boy's masked eyes. My foot slipped from my hasty standing and I started to topple towards the ground. A slim but well toned arm stopped my fall. It caught me by the waist and pulled me back up to the owner's body. My body convulsed into a shiver of pleasure, a forbidden sensation… for me. I stared into the mask, then my eyes fell down his body. He wasn't in his uniform, which was definitely a change. Instead he wore regular loose jeans and a tight black shirt.
My face radiated a heat unknown to me. But to my dismay the boy wonder let go, obviously entranced in his own thoughts. He must have caught Starfire too many times like this, and had done it for me out of habit. I sighed, that was all this was… habit. Robin's expression of blank obliviousness continued to take refuge on his face as he walked down the hall, leaving me breathless, and alone. He HAD changed, but I wasn't sure if I felt the same way as the other titans… I liked this Robin, mysterious, breathtaking… Then I admitted it…I loved this Robin.
