"I've never told anyone this, not even my mother, but..." Raven said with her head on Garfield's shoulder. "I, really do, love you."

A sound of breaking glass went echoing all around the dark room. A wall mirror had cracked in the middle, but didn't shatter. She couldn't believe what she just uttered. Everything she believed had changed in a moment. Her face did not change from that sound, she sat on the floor, looking at Garfield. She felt a little scared, and extremely embarrassed. Her cheeks turned a vibrant red. Her heart beat pounded in her ears. Some reason she thought ever admitting those words would cause a little more than minor mayhem, and she was thankful that she was wrong. Garfield starred into her eyes, not even glancing toward the cracked mirror. She marveled by the look on his face.

Images of their past relationship passed through her mind. Remembering that green dork, made her feel like this wasn't happening. He was always glued to a screen, making jokes, or playing pranks others. She would've never guessed she would have a conversation, or even this kind of situation like this, with him. Though, compared to the other Titans, she interacted with him the most. But everything that she was feeling made her believe this was reality. She felt like all the air was sucked out of her lungs, and she was breathless. She had never experienced a moment like this, and she founded that she actually liked it.

He wanted to know more about Raven. All this time together, she has always been a mystery to him, due to the fact she always hid her face. He wouldn't mind going hours on end, trying to learn another thing about her. Her emotionless face she always wore, made him want to get her to at least crack a smile. She began to be on his mind all the time, and he would distract himself with games and foolishness. His curiosity of her lead to him being attracted to her. It couldn't be helped that anyone would notice her figure. He couldn't help caring about all the pain and loneliness she felt on a daily basis. He deeply wanted to hold her until all of the pain went away, but he felt he could never reach her. There was so much to say, but he chose the obvious before anything else.

"You know," Garfield started."that I always have loved you."

Raven held a hand to her lip and backed away from him a little, she felt the slightness bit of hesitation. She was always told by the monks of Azarath that she was born to be a curse to the world. She was born of a demon. She should never show emotion of any kind, for Trigon would have the opportunity to escape. The whole world would enter darkness. It seemed impossible for anyone to love her, especially knowing what she could bring. She felt her inner wall breaking down, and threw her arms around him. Even though she felt incredibly happy, she felt the tears come bursting through. She cried harder than she ever had before. Her breathing became harder, as she stopped soaking his shoulders with her tears. Maybe the monks were wrong, maybe she had more control after all. She laughed lightly under her breath.

He saw the look he always longed to see, and he felt a strong impulse. At that moment, he grabbed her face and kissed her, much more forcefully than the other times. On instinct, Raven parted her lips slowly. His tongue delved farther into her mouth, and she just wrapped her arms around him to deepen the kiss. The candles in the room blew out with a black light. Raven felt his hands caressed her sides, and then he held her breast. Her eyes opened wide as she pushed him away. She wasn't quite ready for that level of intimacy just yet.

Garfield looked awkward and deshelved, by looking at his face, she felt the need to apologize. Raven stood up from her spot on the floor, and put her hood over her head. Waving her fingers to finish putting the books on the shelf. She was trying to hide her flushed cheeks from him.

"I'm sorry, but-" She started.

"It's okay." Garfield said. He kind of expected that to happen."I know."

Raven didn't look at him, as she held her head down. He stood up as well. She moved to the door, and Garfield followed. He was sure she would kick him out, but she walked out of the room, and he followed steadily behind her as the door slid closed. They walked in silence again in that hallway. Garfield never took his eyes off her, as they entered the common room. As soon as they walked down the steps together, Garfield felt all eyes on him. Usually the others would see him by the early morning. He could tell they were suspicious of him.

Robin and Starfire were standing in the kitchen. Starfire had been stirring some contents into a large bowl, and Robin was standing near her to see what she was doing. They paused what they were doing, to inspect them. Robin quirked an eyebrow at him. Across the room, Cyborg had turned around on the couch, looking at the pair quizzically. Starfire smiled and flew over Raven with the bowl in her hands to break the tension.

"Oh friend Raven," Starfire said enthusiastically. "You simply must try my Tamarian dish!"

She held the bowl under Raven's nose. Whatever it was it was purple and clumpy looking, and Tamarian food was never appetizing. She shook her head as she went to sit at the table.

"How about you, Beast boy?" She looked hopeful.

Garfield smiled at her, but shook his head, as he waved it away.

He looked towards Raven, but she seemed to be deep in her thoughts. Instead he walked toward the couch to join Cyborg, who was still staring at him. Beast boy plopped on the couch, and looked toward Cyborg as if he had a question. Cyborg had heard sounds from Raven's room for the past two and a half hours, without being bothered by Beast Boy.

"Where have you been?"Cyborg asked curiously, while he looked toward Raven.

Raven 's face twitched a little as she sipped her tea, trying to focus on the soothing hot liquid and not Cyborg's wandering eye.

"None of your business." Garfield said.

He grabbed a controller on the coffee table, and joined Cyborg on a video game. He did not say another word about it, and Raven noticed.

Raven smiled, despite herself, as she sipped her tea again as she looked at Garfield. Even though, she was open about her feelings toward Garfield, she didn't want the other Titans to know. She was glad that Garfield knew that. She definitely needed to take things slow, if she would ever continue her relationship with him. He was already laughing at the game, because, apparently, he had beaten Cyborg in a racing game. His laughter had become a pleasant sound to her ears. He looked towards her, and smiled that toothy grin. She felt her heart flutter. Something about him made her so happy, that she felt she could walk on air. She had a feeling everything would work out between them. For the first time ever, she found someone to understand her problems, and she really wanted to continue the relationship.

The End.
