As told by Dennis...

So far, since I've been with the Titans, I've had many adventures, as well as misadventures. What puzzles me is Raven. Is it safe to say that maintaining a relationship with such a person is difficult?

"Dennis, why do you require so much attention?"

"I don't require that much attention, but I figured that after you and I got together that maybe, just maybe you'd start to be a little nicer to me." I told her.

We were having one of our many arguments. She says I'm too sensitive, I say that she's not sensitive enough.

"Look, I'm not like everyone else. I told you that a long time ago. Just because Starfire shows you a lot of attention doesn't mean that I will do the same."

"I don't care about attention. I'm asking you to consider my feelings a little more than you have. And that cold shoulder you gave me yesterday was not necessary."

By this moment, we were in the hallway, right outside of our rooms.

"Don't try to make this my fault. I told you that we are to be a secret. After that stunt you pulled, you should have expected nothing less than a cold shoulder from me." She said.

"Well excuse me for trying to make you feel better! I didn't know it was a crime to state that your life is more valuable than mines!"

"You sound so sensitive, I'm going to cry."

She got sarcastic with me, I hate it when she gets sarcastic in the middle of a serious discussion. It's as if she doesn't take what I say seriously.

"Cut it out!"

"You cut it out. Grow a pair and suck it up. We have our time to be affectionate after everyone's gone to bed."

"Which is a total rip off. I only get to be a boyfriend for eight hours of the day, while the other sixteen, I'm pretending that I'm not falling for you." I said.

"What makes you think that it's a rip off? You knew the requirements when we first made it official. If you didn't like it, why didn't you just tell me then?"

"Because I wanted you that bad. I wanted you so bad that I would sacrifice anything to be able to hold you in my arms and call you mines. I didn't realize that I could only call you mines between the hours of twelve and eight."

I sensed someone coming, and I'm guessing that she did too, so the subject was quickly changed.

"You totally left me open for that attack. I told you to cover me!" I said.

"Cover you? How about covering me for once. I had to take a rocket to the stomach for you!"

Cyborg and Robin quickly walked by, trying to avoid the heat in our argument.

"No one told you to jump in front of me like that. I could have phased right through it!"

"In front of you?! I was behind you, and you did phase through it, but it still hit me!"

"Oh yeah...but that doesn't change the fact that you didn't cover me."

"Well excuse me for making sure that my reproductive systems weren't going to fall out of my vagina. That rocket hit me so hard, I thought that all of my insides exploded."

By now, they were down the hall. I grabbed Raven and I took her into my room, closing the door behind me.

"Who told you to-"

I cut her off with a hug, one so soft and tender, that anyone would have had a change in heart. It was easy to tell that she was blushing. I lifted my head from her shoulders and kissed her. This whole moment took her by suprise, I could tell because the light bulb in my lamp exploded from the slight loss of control of her magic. I separated my lips from her's and looked into her big and purple eyes.

"I can't wait sixteen hours throughout the day just to do that to you."

Raven stood there silently. Her heart was beating so hard and so fast, you didn't need to have ears like Beast Boy to hear it. She moved into my arms and pressed her head against my chest.

"It hurts me as well, I can't wait to be in your arms after everyone goes to bed."

Around this time, everyone was either in bed, or getting settled into bed.

"Raven, why does it matter if people know we're together or not?"

"Many reasons. It's much more complicated to explain. Just trust me, ok?"

I sat down on my bed. I can't help that it's extremely difficult for me to pretend that seeing other dudes flirt with Raven doesn't make me feel some kind of way. She sat next to me and said,

"I only have eyes for you, ok? Don't worry about who decides to hit me with a few pick up lines. The fact still remains that I'm not interested in them. There is no reason to be afraid or upset that it might change, because it never will."

That was the absolute most heart warming thing Raven has ever said to me. Seriously, I didn't know that she had a sensitive side until now.

"It makes me feel better that you can be sensitive when you want to be."

"I'm sorry that I'm not that way very often. I found out that when I become sensitive to other people's feelings, they mistake it for something else, so I just quit trying. However, you deserved it."

She leaned over and kissed me on the cheek. The hairs on my neck started to stand up.

"Besides, I won't even mention how jealous I get when those girls pretend that they need your help, only to put their filthy hands on my property."

"Umm...I don't think you have to tell me. I can feel it in your voice." I said, laughing.

I put my arm around her waist, and I found myself tracing her curves. Last time I did something like that, she zapped me with her magic. My hand was throbbing for days. She took me by suprise when she ran her fingers across my muscles. Her touch was driving me insane. I had to pull away from her to avoid a wardrobe malfunction.

"Whew, that's enough of that for one night."

"See what comes to those who wait?" She said, smiling and kissing me on the lips.

She told me good night and walked out of my room. Wait untill my mom hears about this.
