Disclaimer: If I owned Teen Titans, Trouble in Tokyo wouldn't have happened.
Quick Author's Note: I realized that I never explained why Raven couldn't feel Robin's emotion with her powers. To clarify in this story, Raven only uses her empathetic powers when she absolutely has to. And since she doesn't want to break her heart, she never checked Robin's feelings towards her.
This story is another one in Robin's point of view, after Beast Boy has yelled at him for breaking Raven's heart.
There was no way Beast Boy was right.
Raven didn't love him.
They were friends.
She'd never shown any interest in becoming more.
Had she?
Raven wouldn't just give up. The Raven that Robin thought he knew would tell him how she felt.
On the other hand, she needed to keep a tight rein on her emotions.
If she had been rejected, it wasn't her heart that would break.
It would be the world.
Beast Boy said that she was broken.
He said she wouldn't make sarcastic comments anymore.
He said she didn't hurt him anymore.
Beast Boy even told him that Raven had laughed at one of his jokes the other day.
That wasn't natural.
Had Robin been so focused on thinking about Raven that he had lost sight of her?
He was supposed to be observant.
He was a trained detective.
Beast Boy had been dead on about one thing.
Robin wasn't over her.
How could he do that to Star?
He felt terrible.
He had lied to everyone.
Should he open up?
Would it be better to lead Star on, or to tell her the truth?
Either way, he would hurt her.
Why did he get himself in this mess?
Why hadn't he admitted to himself that he wasn't going to get over her, than told her or something?
Why?
He was an idiot.
He was the king of idiots.
And he would continue being an idiot.
He had to get his act together.
He needed to tell the truth.
He would do it.
Starfire shouldn't be lied to.
Beast Boy had been smarter than Robin on this one. He had known what was going on.
Which meant Robin must have been really stupid.
Total fail.
Robin would fix this.
Hopefully.
"I just have to hope for the best."
Robin already knew about hope.
It had saved him once.
Maybe it would help him again.
The End!
The hope I'm referencing above is from The End three part special. They talk about hope a lot.
