It was October 31st, Raven's birthday and Halloween. All the titans were having a big party in the tower. But Raven wasn't very happy at all. After all the Slade's thing and her birthmark, this day, she just wanted it to end. She was sitting in the roof with her normal uniform; she didn't even change her clothes for the party.
-Why this day is always going so slow, well thanks God is Halloween, with this no one will remember it.-
But there was someone who did remember it.
There she was, looking at the sea.
-Isn't it beautiful?-
She didn't got scared, she could feel his presence.
-Yeah, very beautiful-
-Why aren't you celebrating, besides it's your birthday-
-I'm not so into parties and how did you knew it?-
-I just know it, you should go down, they were searching for you-
-No, I want to be here, now you're the only one who remembered my birthday but it's better if you don't-
-Why?-
-Because I'm a demon, I kill people for pleasure, I can´t control my feelings and I…-
-Hey! There's nothing wrong on being a demon, in fact I wish I could be someone else-
-Why? You're nice, friendly, everybody loves you, but I, I am hated by most of the people and I am not the kind of girl people will like to hang out-
-Who told you that?-
-I discovered it-
-Then your discover is completely mistaken-
-No, it is no big science to believe it, is the truth-
-Well then I´m wrong because I don't think that about you-
-You must be insane-
-Yes, I'm insane and need psychiatric help maybe-
-And maybe you're blind too-
-Yes I'm insane, blind, deaf, speechless, and retarded-
She wanted to explode, she wanted to cry, but if she did that he would think she was weak, and she really was weak. She buried her face on his shoulder and he hugged her tight. Now the ice titan was crying, she thought she was horrible, a complete monster, but he came and showed her she wasn't. Raven crying. Crying on his shoulder. It was tearing his heart into pieces but at the same time he was surprised. He never knew that the half-demon felt this way inside, he never knew that someone like her will think that, her words were painful, like poison in her blood, he wanted to help her, to show her it wasn´t true, if she only knew his real feelings towards her, she maybe won't believe him but he just wanted her to know.
Suddenly she said sobbing:
-I feel trapped, Aqualad, I feel like...-
Her tears flowing like oceans of water, he wanted to stop her cry, the only problem is that he didn't know how. He caressed her hair trying to comfort her and it worked. He grabbed her by the shoulders and said:
-Raven look at me, there's people who cares for you and likes you like Robin, Cyborg, Star, Bee, Mas y Menos, Speedy, Beast Boy even if you don't believe it, and I, I love you Raven, more than you will ever imagine, and I…-
Her eyes grew big with his words, he was declaring his feelings to her, telling her that he loved her more than she will ever imagine.
