City lights.
Once the sun goes down, the lights come up…
Raven slowly approached her balcony door, and slid it open with the tips of her fingers, opening it until it couldn't slide anymore. These, she thought, were the best part of the days: when it's time for the city lights to shine at their brightest. Smiling, she walked to her leather covered armchair and dropped herself into its soft cushions. She closed her eyes taking in the sounds of the city night.
"Comfy enough over there?" smirked her 'fearless leader'. Raven jumped so high she could have sworn she ripped her leotard.
"Are you insane? Have you ever heard of knocking?" she whispered, grabbing hold of her chest to hopefully slow down her heartbeat. Robin raised an eyebrow.
"Raven? Getting a fright? Well that's new." He laughed. she glared at him before getting back to her previous position in the chair.
"mind if I join you?"
"go ahead. You've already come into my room ." she mumbled. Robin walked over to the chair next to hers and sat down, letting his head fall into the soft baby blue silk pillow. There was silence for a few minutes, as the two got lost in their own world of thought.
"You have really beautiful eyelashes." Raven quickly snapped her head to the side to find Robin resting his head on the palm of his left hand and staring at her contently.
"Oh my, wander what you and Star did to put you in this mood." She replied rolling her eyes. He chuckled, all the while getting up and gliding over to her so that he was now in front of her.
"Um, excuse me? You're blocking my view, Bird-brain." She said almost angrily. He smirked.
"Well, now you'll just have to deal with the new View then, won't you?"
"If you don't get out of my way, in the next five seconds, I'm going to-" he put a finger to her lips and took her hand in his free one, lifting her gently from her seat. They gazed into each others eyes for what seemed like hours, but merely 10 seconds. Robin slowly started to remove her cape from her shoulders, placing it in the seat on which she once sat. He started humming to the music that faintly played in the distance of the city in front of them. Grabbing her waist with his right arm and firmly planning his left palm in hers, he started to pull her along with him as they slowly started to waltz.
"Why are we dancing, we look like idiots." She laughed glancing down at how their feet were moving. Robin lifted her chin high enough so that she could glance into his eyes. Raven saw something in those few seconds, in his eyes; love, happiness. He leaned in, slowly tilting his head to fit for the kiss they were about to share. She frowned and got out his grip on her. They stared at each other once more, but Robin's eyes held Hurt and confusion.
"Robin? Robin? Robin Where are you?" Starfire's voice echoed through the walls of her bedroom. Raven looked down at her hands and made way for her leader. Robin let out a sigh before putting on his normal 'Fearless Leader' face, and walked past her to Starfire, who waited behind her bedroom door.
"goodnight…Raven." He whispered before the door whizzed closed behind him. She stared at the place Robin once stood and moved to go and sit in her purple leather chair once more, gazing at the lights in front of her. How could something so beautiful, turn her life into one of the worst scenarios… between Love and friendship…
