Beautiful

Drabble

All her life, Raven always thought she looked ugly. You could say it was one of the reasons why she wears the long, blue cape that hides most of her face from others. Her parents had never loved her, and she was afraid that nobody would love her, and so, she wore the dusty old cape she had found in the store room - not caring that it was too many sizes too big. It also shielded her from the horrors of life - well, at least, she thought that when she was little. No matter how much she tried to shield herself from those horrors, the cape could never really protect her. It was just...a cape, nothing more. But then, she became one of the Teen Titans, and she felt...whole, she felt like she actually belonged somewhere.

Beast Boy always made her smile, even though he thought that she was actually sick and tired of his constant babbling - it was her secret to keep, and nobody else to know. Cyborg always gave her endless knowledge about techno things, and even though she wasn't very interested, she took in everything he said, trying to act like she didn't really care. Starfire, she made her always feel pretty, like she was one of those models everybody sees either on TV or on the runway, stunned by their every graceful move.

But Robin...Robin made her feel beautiful. He made her feel like nothing else mattered except her. That she was like wine, so rich and divine (COOL, THAT RHYMED!).He made her feel whole, he made her feel like she actually belonged. Every caress, every kiss he gave made her feel beautiful. Robin made her eyes shine - he...he made her look at herself in a different light. It was like, Raven wasn't the ugly duckling anymore, she had turned into the beautiful, magnificent swan, one that everyone looked up to with awe.

When he had first removed her cape, she was scared, scared that he would think that she was ugly, like her parents and relatives. But no, he looked at her and...and smiled at her. "You're so beautiful." He had whispered to her, leaning in to give her a gentle kiss that made her spirit soar, that made her heart race, that made her skin tingle and that made her blood rush.

Robin always manages to make Raven feel beautiful, even at the darkest of times.
