Dark Surprises

Summary: Raven and Robin are hiding a secret. Will this affect the Teen Titans forever? Robin x Raven Pairing.

It was like a normal day for the Teen Titans. Only, it wasn't normal. The sky shone brightly over Jump City, birds chattered their welcome to spring. Starfire was cooking a Tamaranian Cake, Horthlag. It was seemingly Robin's birthday. Beast Boy was in the living room trying to take first controller from Cyborg. Raven was in her room reading the book that Beast Boy calls 'A book of Evil'. She closed the black covered book, setting it aside on her bed. Retiring from her bed she leaves her room. Purple eyes swiveled to scan the room. There was a hint of annoyance at BeastBoy and Cyborg's bickering. "Good morning, Raven!" Shouted Starfire with delight. "It is Robin's birthday, you will help, yes?" Taking her eyes from her cooking she sent a happy look to raven for an answer. "Not right now, Starfire." Earning a frown from the Tamarnian girl. "I have other…things to do." She chose her words carefully. Leaving the kitchen, Starfire glided over to Raven. Looking half grief- stricken, half furious. "What can be more important then Robin's one year celebration, may I ask?"

"I never said that." Careful not to be irritated.

"Oh, then, please hurry back?" Starfire asked unsurely.

"Sure," Raven confirmed, before gliding across the room.

"BooYah!" Cyborg called out, victoriously. Throwing two clenched fists to the sky. The first player remote was in his left hand.

"Dude, that is so unfair!" Complained Beast Boy.

"What do you mean 'Unfair'?"

"You hit me!" Pointing rapidly to the big bump on his cranium. A scowl remained on his lips. Green irises glaring fiercely at Cyborg.

Cyborg stared at Beast Boy, "Are we going to play the game, or not?" Impatience clouded his tone. "Bring it on!" They turned away from one another. Pressing harshly on the controllers, they desperate to beat the other.

With one look back, she slipped out of the room, soundlessly, and unseen. Purple cloak flowed, lightly, behind her as she walked the hallway. Her violet irises glare at the passing person, but immediately ease.

Robin glanced to Raven when he, accidentally, bumped shoulders with her. "Sorry."

"It's okay, really." Raven paused, their eyes kept each other's gaze.

"Happy… Birthday." She said, a light smile formed on her pale lips. It was a sort of sad smile. Before she could walk away, Robin grabbed her by the hand.

"Wait, there's something." Raven glanced at their hands then back up to Robin. "Something important."
