All right, so this one is a Robin/Raven friendship piece. I always saw them as being the whole sister/brother type close; like, the kind that can share stuff with each other because they know the other will understand. Long lost siblings, haha.
So in this one they're pretty much talking about their relationships with Starfire and Beast Boy. It's a sweet little piece that I've been wanting to do, so I hope you enjoy!
P.S. Next chapter I promise I'll start up on the requests/suggestions I've been getting in the reviews.
Robin and Raven stood at the edge of the Titans Tower's roof, looking out at the sunrise.
Raven spoke without turning her head. "So how are things with Starfire?"
Robin smiled slightly. "Really good. I'm happy I finally plucked up the courage to kiss her."
Raven let a small smile form on her face, barely noticeable. "We're all happy you worked up the courage. Both of your auras were getting annoying whenever the two of you were around each other. "
Robin chuckled. "Sorry about that. It was just…confusing, you know? I wanted it, but I knew I shouldn't. Well, at least that's what I thought then. But I still get worried whenever we're in battle, and whenever she goes out by herself. Who knows what could happen; someone could use her to get to me. That makes sense, right?"
Raven glanced at him. "Robin, you have to learn to trust her judgment. I understand your worry, but you need to understand that she can take care of herself."
Robin nodded, letting out a sigh. "I know, I know. I'm trying, I really am." A smile then formed on his face. "Plus, the perks are pretty nice."
Raven rolled her eyes, but the ghost of a smile appeared again. "I'd rather not know, thanks."
Robin laughing. "Fine, fine. Let me just say that she-"
"No."
Robin laughed again. "Uncomfortable, Raven? My bad." He didn't sound regretful, though, and the small smirk adorning his lips confirmed this. "So enough about us, how about you and Beast Boy?"
Raven blushed and a frown appeared. "I don't know what you're talking about."
Robin grinned. "Then why are you blushing?"
Raven didn't respond.
Robin laughed again and glanced in her direction. "You may be able to hide it from the others, but not me. I'm trained to notice everything, remember?"
Raven rose an eyebrow. "Then why didn't you notice Starfire's feelings toward you?"
Robin opened his mouth to respond, and then closed it again. After a pause, he opened his mouth again. "I always…knew. I just didn't want to believe it. This stuff can get complicated, and it always seems to bring on some sort of pain. Whether it ends up physical or emotional, I don't know. That's what scares me. I can't predict the stuff that will happen. But, I'm learning, and I'm happy I decided to take the chance." He then grinned. "But we're not talking about this; we're talking about you and Beast Boy."
Raven sighed. "Fine. I'll talk. But this conversation does not leave the two of us, understand?"
Robin nodded. "Of course."
Raven puckered her lips, deciding when to begin. "I really don't know why I began to have these…feelings, for lack of better words, for him." She sighed in frustration. "I mean him out of all people? That doesn't make sense. He's annoying, loud, immature; I could go on." She sighed again. "But…I don't know. I've had to keep my emotions in for so long I just don't know how to deal with them." She glanced at him. "At first, I thought I was beginning to feel something for you." She snorted at the same time as Robin.
"Starfire would've killed you."
She smiled. "Oh, I know. I soon learned, though, it was just because you found me after the end of the world. All the emotion just came so suddenly, I couldn't tell the…romantic emotions to the gratuitous ones. I soon learned that was all it was, though."
Robin nodded.
She continued. "But now that I know how to decipher these emotions more, you can imagine the surprise that came from me realizing my feelings for…well, you know." She waved her hand for emphasis.
Robin spoke up. "I must admit, when I realized it between you two I was surprised. But I mean you two do fight like a married couple." He laughed at Raven's expression. "Well, you do. But I think you guys would make a nice couple. You balance each other out."
Raven paused, and then nodded. "Maybe. I don't know."
Robin turned back toward the sunrise and smiled. "You should tell him. I promise you it will be the best choice you would've ever made. Trust me, I know."
Raven turned to the sunrise also, contemplating. "I guess. It's just…I'm not too good with emotions, despite being about to control them now."
Robin shrugged. "Neither am I. But I learned to become better. That's what happens when you're in a relationship. You learn."
There was comfortable silence.
Robin cleared his throat and then turned to leave. "Well Starfire should be up by now, so I'm going to head down. You coming?"
"In a bit."
Robin nodded and left, closing the door softly behind him.
Raven smiled. Maybe it was time to take the plunge.
Hope it turned out all right. I am definitely watching "The Dark Knight" right now. Is it sad that I know the Joker's lines word for word? Don't answer that.
