Flashing explosions painted the night sky, illuminating two lovebirds below. It was July 4th, their favorite holiday.
The spectacular light show sparkled in her amethyst eyes. Jitters danced in her heart, a rhythmic heartbeat fluttered in her right ear. She was aware that she was on the roof of the T Tower, laying in an Adirondack, with the Teen Titans' fearless leader. Robin lay supine, arms crossed behind his head, and she had curled her right leg over his left one, head on his chest, and fingers running slowly along his hard abdomen.
"Robin, I think we should get going," Raven murmured reluctantly, seeing that the firework show was soon to be over. Starfire, Cyborg, and Beast Boy had decided to go downtown to put on the city firework display this year. Cyborg had designed several showtime layouts, Starfire would fly through the air, igniting the fireworks with a starbolt, and Beast Boy had set up a root beer float and tofu dog stand.
The alpha Titan sat up a bit, resting on his elbows. "I don't want to get going," he half smiled, curling a violet strand around his index finger.
Raven had sat all the way up. Seeing as an Adirondack is just an elongated lawn chair, she was forced to awkwardly half sit on Robin's lap, squished by the armrest. "I don't want the other Titans to be upset…" She trailed off, thinking about how the others would react, if they knew she was what kept "distracting" Robin in battle.
"Well, I'm another Titan." Robin reasoned, analytical as ever. Dark, violet eyes orbited and the masked teen smirked. He hoisted the petite girl upon his lap, where she resituated herself on her knees, loosely straddling his thighs. "And if we get going, you'll be upsetting me." Grinning, he leaning forward to press his lips to hers.
Carelessly, Raven let her guard down. She grabbed his jawline and tipped her chin to the side. Kissing Robin made her feel so alive. Like every one of her senses had been filled with fizzy carbonation, and her head felt as if it were in the clouds. Hoping he couldn't hear her heart hammering it's way out of her chest, she pressed her chest into his, and placed a pale hand behind his head. Steadily, she allowed her shoulder to bully Robin onto his back, where he guided her hips closer to his.
Suddenly, the sky went back. The show was over.
Robin sighed, and drew back. He knew Raven wouldn't want to continue any PDA with the possibility of the others returning so soon, and respected her decision. Besides, she was already grabbing her cloak, covering her black leotard modestly.
"So, I guess we should head inside," Robin exhaled with disappointment and readjusted his mask.
Raven cocked her head to the side, then held up her finger. "Not yet," she dropped her cloak on the ground in a rumpled heap. Her curious lovebird cocked his head in wonder, pecking her cheek with kisses.
"What do you mean, Rae?"
Suddenly, an enormous luminary explosion leapt into the sky, with a loud crack! followed by audience cheering.
Raven turned her head from the sky, back to Robin. A deviously playful look in her eyes, she casually granted him an inviting kiss, hands racing desperately down his neck until they could explore intrusively over his chest.
"Encore."
