I woke up early the next day. My body protested as I got up but my mind was up and was making it clear that I wasn't going to get any more sleep. I climbed into the ice cold shower and suddenly cursed the water heater. It had been acting up and Cyborg was constantly having to reset it. I sighed and began to wash myself as quickly as I could. It was probably best that I took a cold shower since my hormones were acting up. I slipped out of the shower and wrapped the towel around my waist and looked around. I took note that forgot my clothes in my room. I sighed and mentally hoping that wasn't sign on how the rest of the day would go. Picking up an extra towel and flung it around my neck.

I open the door, walked four steps before collided right in to a very confused and embarrassed Raven. She had raised her hands to block herself which of course came to rest on my bare chest. I of course had to stop myself from toppling on top of her which my hands flew to her hips. I couldn't help but stare as I noticed she was wearing something that I never really seen before. A black tank top and pair of booty shorts. It was clear I may need another cold shower after this encounter.

"Oh my god!" she said surprised her hands flat against my chest. I looked down at her beautiful eyes and gave her a sheepish grin.

"Sorry Rae." I answered I stood my ground feeling slightly amused at her shock. She opened her mouth to say something then shut it. She bit her lip as she stared at my chest.

"See something you like?" I asked finding a sudden burst of confidence. She obviously didn't like my humor and shot me a glare. I looked at her cheeks were tinged pink.

"In your dreams." She bit at me, which only made me chuckled

"And yet here we are so close, your hands still on my bare chest-" I trailed off grinning at her. I began to lean into her my eyes wander to her lips. She then of course forcefully pushed me away with her hand and took step back. If looks could kill her's were definitely going to be my demise.

"What are you doing up so early anyways?!" She questioned "I thought you were allergic to any time before 7 am?"

"Eh, its all those damn dreams of you." I admitted. I made sure to hide the actual truth in my voice and face so she would think I was actually just joking. She cocked her head to left and stare at me. I gave her another smile and began using my towel around my neck to dry of my wet hair.

"Well that's fascinating but I really need to get back to my morning." She remarked. I noticed that her eyes began to follow a water droplet as dropped from my hair on to my shoulder then it rolled down my chest. I smirked instantly. Was Raven actually checking me out? She closed her eyes and shook her head almost to clear away a thought. She began to push pass by me and making her way to the bathroom.

"The hot water is off." I commented as I turned around to watch her. She turned slightly and flicked her wrist using her magic from a far she turned back on the water heater. Letting a small smirk form on her lips.

"It's always off at this time." She then shot me one last glance. I couldn't help but watch the back of her legs as she shut the door.

'Damn it! yeah I need another cold shower.' I thought as I walked away as my thoughts raced on the fact that Raven was now in the shower.

-

They day went on painfully slow and I knew it was just because I was so eager about the date. I had mentioned that I would meet Raven at her room precisely at 5 sharp. She was currently giving me the silent treatment after our little encounter this morning. I glared at the clock on my desk thinking it was playing tricks on me. 'It was 4:32 four minutes ago.' I had been dressed since 3 and actually changed my shirt three times since.

I remembered Raven's comment on not dressing up so I decided on a purple t-shirt, my dark wash jeans, and my bright green converse. I figured if it got cold I'd also bring my leather jacket just in case. You never know Raven could get cold and need some dark handsome guy to give her a warm jacket. I looked at myself in the mirror and sighed again.

"God this shouldn't be this hard." I stated as I picked up the gray shirt. I held it up and looked down. "This is stupid I'm a male for hell's sake." I muttered throwing the shirt on the bed. Only a silly girl could make me feel like this. A beautiful amazing girl. I sighed looking at the clock. 4:45. "Fuck!" I sighed and looked at my wrist watch which only confirmed that it was only 4:45. I looked up to the right and bit my cheek.

"It's close enough." I announced and I picked up my jacket in my hand and walked out of my door.

-

I walked slow taking my time since I knew I was early. I looked down at my feet hoping that this wasn't just going to be some pity date. The thought had been there since yesterday but I kept pushing from my mind. Raven wasn't that cruel, right? I had hoped. I turned down the hallway then I heard my name. I turned slightly looking to my left. Cyborg room. The door was open and Cyborg sat on his computer pushing some buttons.

"Did you call me?" I asked as I stuck my head in. He turned around and a began rubbing his hands together.

"Yes, come in, sit down." He requested. I sighed slightly irritated I wasn't about to be late because of him.

"What dude?" I asked looking for a place to sit. Of course there wasn't one so I stood by the door frame.

"I'd ask where you're going but since I already asked Raven, I'll just cut the chase." He remarked gazing at me intently. I raise my eyebrow at him confused at what he was getting at.

"I know you're going to be a perfect gentleman, yes?" He remarked. I scoffed at him was he serious?

"Dude you're joking right?" He shot me a look that told me that no he quite serious. I blinked twice and sighed. "I'll be good boy." I mumbled. He nodded telling me that was the correct answer. Was this what it was like when being interview by girls father?

"Good. Now being that I am you're best friend, I will tell you something that I was sworn to secrecy." He paused looking behind me. I looked at him then behind me. Not seeing anything but the hallway I looked back. He wiggled his finger at me. I took a few steps over to him so he could whisper in my ear. "Raven came to me for advice on this date tonight." my mouth dropped open as I looked at him.

"What?" I whispered. Raising his eyebrows he nodded his head.

"Yeah, she doesn't want to screw this date up."

"What does that even mean?" I questioned out loud. He shrugged his shoulders before answering.

"The girl likes you B. She may not know how to show it but she does, and I swear to God if you screw this up-"

"I won't." I protested. This made me smile maybe my efforts were not going to all in vain. Maybe just maybe I'd get to keep her for a while.

"I'm serious B."

"I am too." I butted in. Looking at him I let out a long breath. "Look you know I really like Raven, a lot, and I have no intentions of hurting her." He gave me small smile and stood he held out his hand and I took it. He pulled me in to bro hug and slapped my back.

"Good luck!" He commented as I began to walk out.

"Thanks." I stated as I looked down at my watch. 5:00 pm. 'Shit Cy!'

I raced down the hall to see her standing right outside her door. I slowed as my breath caught in my throat. She wore a black shorts that showed off those's amazing legs of hers, and a sheer dark blue cap sleeve top. She glanced up at me as I walked up to her. I almost felt like I was meeting someone new with the information that Cy had given me. Raven may actually like, like me.

"Hey." I muttered glancing up and down her. My heart pounded in chest as she eyed me as well and nodded.

"Hello." I bit my lip and looked at the floor.

"You look," I glance up at her my breathing staggering "Amazing."

"Thank you." She thanked those violet eyes peered up at me making my stomach drop. 'God those eyes.'

"So you ready?" I gulped

"Yes."

"Awesome let's go." I answered I held out my elbow to her. She eyed it cautiously and finally after a few seconds she hesitantly linked her arm into mine. I flashed her smile and led her out of the tower.

-

We walked arm in arm down town. I had brought up the topic of the new gossip going around the Titans. I knew Raven wasn't really one to gossip but this was huge news. Bumble Bee has been helping Kid Flash and he had kinda hinted at the fact that Jinx and him maybe expecting a baby. Now Bee hadn't gone into any details with Cyborg but she did say that Kid Flash kept mentioning that Jinx was feeling awful lately as he had hoped her bitchy-ness would wear off after the nine months.

Raven gaped at me just stunned at the news as I was when Cyborg told me. After I finished the story she shook her head.

"No way. Not possible." She remarked. Smirked at her.

"Why is it not possible?" I inquired I had stopped so I could look at her face.

"I would felt it, the fetus I mean." she answered looking around.

"What?" I chuckled causing her to sigh at me.

"At the annual Christmas party. If she was pregnant I'd be the first one to know." She answered again. I opened my mouth in realization.

"Yeah but that was almost 6 months ago." I pointed out. "It could have happen after." Her forehead creased and she frowned.

"I just don't see Jinx being that foolish." She stated simply. I couldn't help but laugh at her.

"Maybe it was an accident? I mean they are young and in love. It certainly wouldn't be the first or last time that a young couple as accidentally gotten pregnant." She walked forward taking me with her. She wasn't one to just stand out in the open I guess. I spotted the restaurant in sight and took the lead.

"It's not just the fact that it may be an accident, I mean they're heroes what are they going to do with a child?" She continued.

"Raise it? or give up for adoption?" I answered I turned my head slightly looking to see her pondering face.

"Raise it?" she said in questioning tone. "And fight evil assholes as well or?" We reached the door to the restaurant and turned my head to left realizing what she was applying.

"So are you saying that you never want kids?" I asked. We step inside and the hosts asked us table or booth. I told her booth and waited for Raven to answer my question.

"I'm not good with kids." She said I gave her an don't believe that look.

"And Melvin, Timmy, and Teether? I think you're amazing with them." She sighed sitting down at the table. I waited til she was seated before I slid in on the other side. She wore a somber face as I gave her a questioning look.

"I just..." she trailed off noticing the waitress a young girl about our age with long red hair standing next to us. I noticed her and smiled.

"Hi I'm Michelle, I'll be your waitress and server tonight." she said brightly. "Can I get you two started on something to drink?"

"Thank you Michelle, Can you bring us two waters with lemon and cup of herbal tea for this pretty mama right here." I asked shooting a grin towards Raven. She nodded at the waitress confirming my order.

"Honey? Sugar? Milk?" Michelle asked I looked at Raven knowing she probably choose honey. Catching my look she answered

"Just honey please."

"Sure thing I'll be back shortly." I smiled at Raven as my thought back to what we were saying.

"What were you going to say?" She rolled her eyes and took in a breath. obliviously hoping I'd forgotten

"I just am scared I suppose." she confessed. Giving her a look to say continue she nodded slowly and started again. "Well, since I'm half demon that will make my children fourth demon and I just don't like the thought of bring something evil into the world."

"How do you know they will be evil?"

"I don't, I just don't know if I want to chance it. Plus this isn't really the life that I'd want for them." I could tell by her tone I had made her uncomfortable. It was a very strange topic to be talking about on the first date, but then again we were friends we had known each other for years.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable." I apologized. She looked down at her hands. "I like know these things about you though." She was quiet for moment thinking about something. I honestly wished sometimes I could read what was going on in her head.

"So, I guess that with your questions that you do want kids?" She questioned. I gave her small smile and began to play with my fork.

"Yeah, I've always wanted a big family. I thought everyone knew that." She shook her head at me. "I never had a real family growing up, I mean yeah, I had Rita, and Mento, but I've always wanted an actual family you know? My own flesh and blood." I answered honestly. She frowned and looked at the table. I didn't like how this conversation was going so I decide it was time to change it. "Let's talk about something else." I suggested.

Michelle came back towards our table with our drinks and asked if we needed more time to look over the menu. Raven quickly reached to grab the menu in which I grabbed away from her and gave her a trust me smile. I looked back up at Michelle and ordered,

"I'll have the vegetarian stir fry, and she'll have the halibut with rice and steamed veggies." I handed Michelle the menu's and she nodded and walked away to put in our orders. I glanced back at Raven who had raise her eye brows at me.

"What?" I grinned

"How did you know what I wanted? I've never even been to this place before."

"I've been watching you. I know what you like." I smiled.

"And that's not super creepy." She said sarcastically. I rolled my eyes at her and shook my head.

"You know what I mean, I'm your friend and I've really tried to get to know you. You're likes and your dislikes."

"Oh?" She replied blowing on her steaming tea.

"Sure, you want to hear the list?" I smirked before pulling the glass of water to my lips.

"Amuse me." She answered.

"Okay let's see dislikes is a bigger list so we'll start with likes first." I paused hearing her slightly laugh at my comment. My eyes sparked in excitement. Please laugh again.

"Likes; reading, meditating, blue, waffles, classical music, horror films, pizza, fish, sunsets, and rain." I listed off looking at her. She had a slight smirk on her face.

"That's very creepy that you know all that." She commented I chuckled and shook my head.

"I just like paying attention." she nodded and asked me to go on.

"Dislikes; Pink frilly things, video games, soda, rap music, anything that's really girly, chocolate, the mall, any place that's to crowded, you're father, any one that goes into your room, and green immature boys who tell very bad jokes." I finished. She smirked at me and surprised me by reaching across the table and gently touching my hand.

"You're right I do hate green little boys who tell, terrible, horrendous jokes," she pause and bit her lip she hesitated as she continued. "But I do like a green gentleman who has spend a little to much time trying to get to know me." The corner of my mouth turned up showing off my smile. I gently rested my hand on top of hers.

"You should, do my likes now." I commented eagerly. She furrowed her brow and shook her head. "Oh come on." I pressed. "Please? It will be fun."

"Oh alright." She gave in. I gave her smile encouraging her. "Likes; green, tofu, joke's that only three years would like,-

"Hey." I cut in. She rolled her eyes and commented,

"I'm just being honest. Should I go on?" she asked I nodded loving this feeling of being with her.

"Movies, sleeping, video games, snow, pranks, comics, family, and oddly strange girls." She finished.

"Girl." I corrected. "Girl, I like one strange beautiful girl." I gave her shy smile as I noticed the blush creep onto her face.

"Dislikes; meat, any thing quiet, all of Star's food, cheaters, bullies, doctors, long lines, and-" She stopped looking at me, "I guess that it." she remarked. I nodded and smiled at her.

"See you do know me." I replied she picked up her water and took a drink. Just then I could see Michelle coming with our food and my mouth began to water. "Food here." I announced pushing my water cup away. "You're gonna like it Rae I swear."

-

We enjoyed our food paid and left. We walked around the city looking at the lights and walked through the park. We caught the sunset just in time. I couldn't have asked for a better evening. After the park I suggested we get some tea to go then head back to the tower. We walked to Raven's cafe that served all sorts of teas and coffee. I wasn't sure want I want, and I turned to Raven for help.

"I'll have my usual and give him a tropical herb tea." she ordered eyeing me. "We don't need him bouncing off the walls." She added I gave her a small smile to thank her.

"You got it Raven." The young male stated pushing some buttons on the register I handed him the credit card to pay.

"Thank's Ben." Raven thanked him as he gave her small smile and a lingering look at us, before walking to the back of the store. I look up at her flashing a smile.

"Hope he doesn't any ideas. I called dibs first." I smirked. She rolled her eyes at me.

"He's fine, he knows he's not my type." She replied.

"And what is your type?" I asked. A small tiny smile graced her lips as looked up at me.

"I don't know yet."

"Well, I hope it's the green type."

-

We walked in the down the hall in awkward silence. My nerves were trying to get the best of me as my heart pounded like drum. I knew that it was time to say good night which meant a kiss. I knew I shouldn't be so nervous, but for some reason I couldn't help but feel that it could either be very bad or very good. I had taken my stares to floor scared to look anywhere but there. She stopped abruptly causing me to look up and realize that we were right in front of her door.

"Well I guess this is goodnight." I said my hand flew to the back of my neck rubbing it gently. She had been keeping her fingers busy with a piece string which made me wonder if she was nervous as well. She gave me slight nod.

"I had really good time with you." I admitted She nodded again.

"It was nice." The words had come from her mouth but they were odd and almost didn't sound like her. I began to blush as I realized I was just stalling.

"Well I should go to my room now." I stated biting my lip

"Okay good night." She responded.

"Good night Raven." We both stared at each other not quite knowing what to do. Neither of us was making the first move. I looked off to the side as she stared at her fingers.

"Okay lets just both lean in okay?" I suggested the awkward feeling almost choking me. She had a blank look on her face as she looked up at me.

I took a step towards her and leaned my head down to meet her height. Her eyes flew to my lips as she leaned into me. I tilted my head slightly waiting for her lips. She had paused and was still staring at my lips. I decided that I was going to be the one to close the gap that was between us. I gently pressed my lips to hers. The warm feeling of her lips covered my mouth as kissed her. Her lips were soft and sweet just like in my dreams. We both pulled away and I watched her eyes flutter open. I smiled at her keeping my promise just a peck. She then did something that surprised us both.

Her eyes locked on my lips I turned slightly ready to walk away. She grabbed the collar of my shirt catching me by surprise I looked down at her hand then I watched as she pressed her lip back to mine. After the initial shock of her actually pulling me back into a kiss wore off I took my chance and kissed her back. Unlike our peck, this one was a totally different feeling. My arms wrapped around her slim waist pulling her right against me. Her hand flew to my face pulling me close. After a moment my body reacted to her and I opened the kiss wanting more of her. With my heart pounding right out of my chest I let the electricity pulse threw me from her magical lips. Shivers ran down my back as she moved her hands to the back of my neck and up through my hair. My mind raced as I kissed her I wondered why had I waited so long for this. The feeling was unlike anything I had ever felt before.

Finally she pulled away, both our breaths staggering. Her chest heaved up and down as she swallowed in air. I still had my arm around her keeping her close to me. My eyes began to search hers hoping she say something, anything. Her eyes kept darting from my eyes to my lips.

"Wow." She whispered. This made me laugh at her cuteness. I pulled my arms away letting her free. Still smiling I nodded.

"Good night Rae." A blush had brushed on to her face as she looked at the ground embarrassed. I leaned in and kissed her red cheek and turned around leaving her there.

I shut the door to my bed room my back against the door. I had a permanent stupid grin plastered on to my face as I slid down on to the floor. I couldn't think about anything but the kiss. The way it had made me feel. How I wanted to spend every waking and sleeping moment with her. I couldn't deny that what ever it was, our chemicals, or whatever you call it, that bond was strong and powerful. After a kiss like that it only confirmed it. I felt like I was higher than a kite nothing could bring me down.

I kicked off my shoes. Exhaled licking my lips her taste still there. I pulled off my shirt and jeans and fell into bed. 'God that girl was something else.'
