Raven is VERY OOC. I apologise. But I have a good explanation: Robin's actually the one feeling giddy with love, and Raven, being empathic, picks up on it faintly – but it's magnified because she has similar feelings towards him too.
Oh, and if you wanna listen to the song, don't start it from the beginning, I have a better place you'll get what I mean when you continue reading

Meanwhile…"TASHA!" Robin yelled. The brunette either ignored him or didn't hear him – still in pursuit of Slade.
The Hive Five's logo had been flashing on their Warning Screen when Slade had decided to drop by too. The team had split in half – Robin knew Cyborg, Beastboy and Starfire could easily handle Jinx's team.
But he was starting to think he should have brought one of the others along instead of Tasha.
He didn't know what it was, but Tasha seemed to have a past with Slade or something – she was nearly as obsessed as getting the villain behind bars as Robin himself was. And even Robin knew his hatred towards Slade was unhealthy.
Robin looked up to see Tasha whip round a sharp corner, and looked behind him to see Raven flying, following his lead. Her hood had came off as she speeded around the sharp corners, revealing her porcelain features.
Damn, She's so beautiful…Robin shook his head as he realised what he was doing.
Stop… you can daydream about her all you like after the mission.
Yeah, but how the hell do you expect me to stop thinking about her?
Robin shook his head again and sided with the first voice, even though he agreed with the second.
"Robin… are you okay?" Raven asked gently.
"Yeah… yeah." Robin muttered, dazed. He quickly turned around the corner, Raven on his tail. Neither Slade nor Tasha were to be seen.
"Shit," Robin turned to his empathic friend, "Rae, can you try and track her?"
"I can try." Raven replied, pulling her hood back over her head (much to Robin's disappointment) to hide the light blush staining her cheeks. She hated to admit to anything so 'nauseatingly maudlin', but she felt… happy…when he called her 'Rae'?
Raven put her index and middle fingers of both hands to her temples and closed her eyes, trying to contact Tasha telepathically. She suddenly cried out as a shock was sent through her body – Robin quickly to her aid, managed to catch her in his arms.
"Hey."
"Hey." Robin smiled and Raven let out a small laugh – which she immediately clapped her hand over her mouth.
"What was that?" Robin asked. He tried but he couldn't keep the wide smile off his face.
"Nothing," Raven replied, looking down as her hood slid off her head, "Um…I can try and track her empathetically."
"Okay." Robin replied with a smirk still on his face as he willingly let her change the subject. He'd nag her about it later anyway.
Raven again put her fingers to her temples. She sighed and looked up at Robin, who still was holding her.
"There's too many people…troubled people…" She held her head and sighed again, "I couldn't possibly find her, and anyway, she's mentally… blocking me."
SORRY FOR INTERRUPTING, BUT IF YOU WANNA LISTEN TO THE SONG WHILST READING, PLEASE START THE SONG NOW!
"Fuck." Robin cursed, and looked down at Raven. His troubled façade turned from surprised to a gentle smile.
Raven lay asleep in his arms, muttering something about being cold.
Robin pulled Raven's cloak tighter around her body, and looked at her tranquil face.
He then said something very unlike him.
"C'mon Rae… let's call it a night." He held her tighter and walked down the alleyway, noticing a young street rat boy, about 10 or 11, curled up, shivering as he slept. Robin positioned Raven on his hip and unclasped his cloak, covering the young boy.
Well, now at least we know Raven fell asleep from her empathy rather than my company.
Robin chuckled and held Raven is his arms tighter as he carried her home.

The doors of the tower slid open, and Robin walked in, Raven still in his arms. He carried her up the stairs, being every so quiet and gentle, making sure he didn't wake her.
Punching the code into the door, he opened it and laid her gently on the bed and tucked her in. He down at Raven, watching her lying peacefully in her bed, the moonlight casting a gentle glow and illuminating her stunning features.
Robin felt himself sinking deeper on the spot. She was so beautiful – inside and out – and his whole 'I'm-Robin-so-don't-even-think-about-it' rep went down the drain with her. Every time he saw her, he felt like his heart had stopped beating and when she was close to him in battle, he felt over-the-moon, ecstatic joy.
That wasn't what you felt towards a friend, right?
He didn't think so.
He definitely hadn't felt like this towards any of his other teammates… even Starfire.
Suddenly Raven started stirring softly, snapping Robin out of his reverie. Robin's eyes widened as he thought of the endless list of punishment Raven could think of for him entering her room without her permission.
Before he knew what he was doing, Robin opened his mouth and started singing huskily;
"But As You Sleep, No-one is listening.
I will lift you off of your feet, I'll keep you from sinking.
Don't wake up yet, cause soon I'll be leaving you
Soon I'll be leaving you, but you won't be leaving me."
He smiled and kissed her forehead.
"Goodnight, Spero (1)."
And with that he left the room… but not her dreams.

It was BAD!! & I know it! Hopefully my next chapter will be better.
Sorry people for all the fluff and dribble drabble, I feel your pain. Actually I don't (fortunate for me) but I feel for you.
Anyway, please review, constructive criticism welcome, just no flames. They actually hurt a lot more than I thought.
Thanks and please press the button below (look down…. AH! There!)
As for 'Spero'… I've forgotten what it means… ohh yeah… it's something to do with 'hope'.
