Unexpected

It was nearing evening so dinner was being prepared. The scent of Cyborg's ribs cooking filled the common room while Starfire tended to her unusual Tamaranian soup. Across the room, however, Robin leaned against the window. A beautiful skyline of Jump City would awe anyone, yet Robin wasn't thinking about the view. From behind, the common room doors swished open. Cyborg and Starfire looked over, but were somewhat stunned by what they saw.

"Er … uh BB … you and …"

Cyborg trailed off as he couldn't find the words to what he was seeing. Beast Boy and Raven had walked into the common room, holding hands. For the metal and alien Titans, this could have been a sign of the Armageddon, if it hadn't happened already.

"I thought I gave you an order."

Beast Boy looked away from his friend Cyborg and found Robin walking forward to them. His arms were folded, which Beast Boy could infer he wasn't happy about what he saw.

"Cyborg, Starfire … leave us." Robin coldly commanded.

Cyborg and Star looked at each other before making their way out. They knew not to disagree with the boy wonder when he was angry. As soon as the common room doors closed behind them, Robin continued.

"Didn't I tell you something?"

"Robin I"

"I told you to not let this happen!" Robin said as he referred to the couple in front of him.

"You may be leader Robin, but that doesn't mean you control our lives." Raven coldly shot back.

A silent minute passed as Robin and Raven stared each other down. For what it was worth, Beast Boy had already stood up to the boy wonder and decided to see how far Robin goes with this problem.

"I'm just looking out for the team … for you two." Robin explained.

"You're just looking out for yourself …" Raven stated back. "What's wrong with you Robin? Out of everyone, I thought you would be the one happy for us …"

Robin looked away from them. Honestly, he was happy for them but he still remembered the hurt he felt a long time ago in Gotham. Something that still played a profound part of his life. It was why he was afraid to form a relationship with Starfire.

"What's going on Robin? What happened?" Raven asked.

Robin looked at her, but stayed silent. He had never really revealed the reason he had left Gotham and the Batman, yet now, someone wanted to know. He contemplated his decision.

"You and I share a bond … tell me."

Raven was right. After all that had happened in the past, as unlikely a friendship these two had, they had become close friends.

"When I was still in Gotham … I met this girl, someone who I really liked. We started dating, but things happened along the way … We kept secrets from each other … I didn't trust her like I should have … one night, the Joker went on a killing spree in Gotham. Batman and I found him, but so did Batgirl … she nearly died … I took off her mask, and it was her … Batman knew it was her all along and didn't tell me … he had her risk her life without telling me who she was!" Robin stared to the ground while clenching his fists. "… I cared about her, yet Batman was using her in his crusade of justice … In my anger, I punched Batman … and I quit the team …"

Trust was always a complicated thing. Robin couldn't trust Beast Boy and Raven that things could work out between them. He couldn't even trust in himself, that things between he and Starfire would work. That was why he had distrusted team relationships so much, he knew if something happened, that there was a possibility the team would split apart.

"That's not going to happen." Beast Boy finally spoke up. "Raven and I care about each other and we'll always be friends no matter what happens."

Robin nodded his head. He knew that he had to have more faith in his team and the things that were happening in their lives.

"I think you also have to trust in yourself." Raven said to the boy wonder. "There's a girl on the other side of that door that's been waiting for you."

Raven motioned her eyes to the common room door. Using her telekinesis, she opened the metal doors and Starfire and Cyborg fell out from behind it. Their guilty looks on their faces signaled that they had been hearing in on the conversation going on inside.

"… uh, we were just waxing the metal doors …" Cyborg said, trying to excuse their eavesdropping.

Robin smiled as he observed Starfire's guilty grin. Turning his attention back to the problem at hand, he had made his decision.

"Okay … there's only one thing I want you two to do …" Robin stopped, creating a dramatic suspense. "… I want you two to always be friends … even through the bad … know that you also have your friends to help you out … and as awkward as you two being together may be … we all see hope in this relationship."

Beast Boy and Raven looked at each other and smiled. The other Titans were happy as well for what seemed to be the first 'true' relationship of the team. In a way, Robin had given his blessing to his two teammates and friends.

"Alright … we can't celebrate without a party!" Cyborg exclaimed.

Ooo

The party had ended around midnight as everyone begun to turn in. Confetti and leftover pizza and cake idled on the kitchen counter, waiting to be put away. The tower was dark and silent as Beast Boy and Raven walked down the hallways. As they came to her room, she stopped and leaned against the metal door while staring at her green boyfriend.

"Who knew one night could do so much …" Beast Boy said with a snicker.

"It wasn't one night … we've lived together for years, it was bound to happen." Raven responded.

"I'm just glad that you were here to be the one."

Beast Boy put his hand on her door as he inched closer to her. Raven's cheeks turned red as his warm breath hit her pale skin. She stared into his green eyes as he did in hers. With his other hand, he brushed away the strands of her purple hair that had fallen across her face. Finally, their lips met.

Ooo
