The Shadow Sphere
Chapter 1 Lover's Secret
Raven leaned into the boy wonder with a sigh of relief. It had three weeks since the death of her sister but she had gotten over it rather quickly considering her new relationship with Robin and the fact that her sister resided in her mind and helped keep Raven's powers in check.
Robin looked over at the large raven shaped clock that was hung over Raven's bookshelf. "Rae? It's after three. I should probably go so we can get some sleep huh?" Robin asked as he nestled his face into her neck breathing deeply and enjoying the closeness he shared with the violet haired sorceress.
For the last two hours they had been sitting on her bed in her dark and ethereal room just talking about everything they had been through together and how strange it was that now they could understand what all the things they had felt in the past had meant. It's like they say hindsight is 20/20.
"I guess so." Raven answered, she half expected to hear Kari in her mind with a sigh and a fervently whispered "Thank god it's abut time!" but she didn't, maybe there was some kind of event going on amongst her emotions. Raven floated up off Robin's lap and landed on her feet on the floor.
Robin jumped up and wrapped his arms around her waist. "I don't wanna go!" he whined huskily as he gazed into her dark eyes. Raven giggled softly and closed her eyes expected an explosion. Even three weeks after her sister began work on controlling her powers from the inside she still felt uneasy about some emotions.
Robin flashed his seductive boyish grin and Raven was glad he had his arms around her waist otherwise she was quite sure she'd melt into the floor. "I could always stay the night..." Robin said the smile creeping over his face.
Raven's eyes widened and she popped him in the back of the head; "NO you can't sleep with me tonight! I may never get to sleep if I let you." Raven said as she leaned into him and kissed him passionately but when he moved to deepen the kiss she pulled back.
Robin quickly hid his disappointment and hurt ego, "I'm sorry Robin but if we get going...I might have trouble stopping." Raven whispered sadly.
Robin couldn't help it, "Didn't realize I took away that much control just by being here." he said with his trademark seductive grin enveloping his face.
Raven blushed furiously, "Go before your ego explodes your head." Raven said as she opened the door and lightly pushed him out.
Robin turned just before the door closed, "Hey Raven?" he asked looking into her eyes a look of boyish embarrassment blooming on his face.
"Yeah?" she asked fighting the urge to pull him back into her room.
"Tomorrow, do you think we should tell the others about us?" Robin asked, it was becoming more and more difficult to keep the love of his life a secret and he had the sneaking suspicion that Starfire was beginning to have feelings for him and the last thing he wanted to do was hurt her.
"I don't know Robin...are you sure it won't cause problems between you and Starfire?" Raven asked remembering the looks and lingering touches that Starfire had been bestowing on Robin for the past two weeks.
"You sense it too?" he asked.
"Yeah." Raven said sadness entering her voice. Robin's eyes widened as he heard the underlying despair.
"Raven." he said his voice entering warning mode. Raven turned away and gazed out towards her window.
"Raven, I know what your thinking and I won't let you do it. This is meant to be, and if you still can't tell that after all this time then it doesn't say much for me does it?" Robin demanded becoming worried when Raven refused to look at him. Raven sighed heavily and gave Robin a weary smile.
"Well, night Robin." she said as she went to close the door again before Robin could say anything. Robin laid his forehead against the cold metal and sighed, god he loved her but sometimes he just wanted to shake some sense into her.
