Alright, here it is: Chapter 2. I still don't own any of these characters,
so enough babble on my part. Here's the story.
By the time they got back to the tower, Robin was still laughing, and Raven had a small, but quite content smile on her face.
"There's my favorite happy couple!" shouted Cyborg as he saw them walk in the door. He strode over and placed an arm around each of their shoulders. "You know, I was JUST saying to myself, 'Hey! I wonder what Robin and Raven are doing on this fine afternoon. Whatever it is, I sure bet they could use my CHARMING company.'"
Robin raised an eyebrow at his friend. "Beast Boy's hogging the video games again, huh?"
Cyborg growled, "You're damn right he is! I've been waiting around all day, but he won't let me play because it's his game, and he just got it." He growled again, "He won't even switch it to a two-player game! And every time I try, he just turns into a PORCUPINE and SITS on the console!!!"
"What about Starfire? Couldn't you hang out with her?"
"She's busy."
"Doing what?"
Cyborg gave his friends a solemn look. "Cooking."
Robin gulped, Raven didn't say anything, but started thinking of ways she could get out of eating at the tower that night.
"So what are your plans for the rest of the day?" Cyborg asked.
"Well, uh, nothing right now, but later ah...I'm...taking Raven out to dinner!" Robin beamed, his fast thinking had done it again.
Raven looked up at him. "You are?"
"Yep! Surprise!"
As the couple started walking down the hall towards the bedrooms, Raven turned to Robin and said, "So how long have you been planning this 'surprise' dinner?"
"Since about 2 minutes ago, when Cyborg told us Star was cooking. I was surprised too."
Raven rolled her eyes, "Oh, you're a sly one Boy Wonder. You're a sly one."
"So, since its only 2 o'clock, I think I'm going to go hang out with Cyborg for awhile, you know, just keep him company before it's time to get ready. You have any plans for the afternoon?"
Raven shook her head, "Not really, I think I'll just go meditate for a while, or maybe go find a nice quiet place to read." She looked down at the object clutched in her hands and smiled. "Thanks again for the book, Robin." She leaned in and gave her lover a tender kiss.
Robin smiled back. "You're welcome Rae. And thank YOU for the book you gave me."
She blushed, "I wasn't sure if you actually had it. I saw the quotes up on your walls, along with the newspaper clippings and all...but I wasn't sure if you had the book, or just got them off the internet or something. Either way, I figured I couldn't go wrong with an early-print hardcover."
Robin brushed his hand over the cover of the book. "I used to have a copy of it, but it was just one of those tiny, pocket-sized books you can get for a few bucks. I lost it on the bus a couple of years ago. The quotes I have up on my walls are just my favorites that I memorized." He smiled as he gently flipped through the pages of the old book. "I guess now I can add some more." Now it was Robin's turn to pull his love in for a kiss. After parting, he said "So, I'll call the restaurant and book a reservation for say...7 o'clock?"
"Seven sounds great."
After Robin left to go find Cyborg, Raven decided that she had gotten enough meditation this morning, and that she'd rather start reading her book. Or, re-reading, in this case, since it was her favorite book. But as she tried to think of a nice place to read, she decided to stop by the kitchen first, and see how Starfire was doing.
Starfire was buzzing around the kitchen, working very hard on...whatever it was she was making. She had flour in her hair, and on her face, and what appeared to be gravy smeared on her apron. Raven cringed. 'What kind of food has flour and gravy as ingredients?' she thought.
"RAVEN! Salutations friend! Would you care to aid me in garnishing my fungus?"
"Uh...no thanks Star. I just came by to see what you were doing. So...what's the occasion for the...uh...fungus?"
Starfire squealed, obviously delighted that Raven had asked. "I am preparing it in honor of you and Robin relationshipping for one earth month!"
This took Raven by complete surprise. "You're...making us an anniversary dinner?"
"Yes! I am afraid that I have been quite rude to Robin lately, and it has not been making me feel any better by doing so. So I have decided to, how did Cyborg put it, 'Bury the hatchet' and make amends by showing him that I am quite happy for you both."
Raven smiled. "Star...I...thank you."
Starfire beamed at her best friend. "Think nothing of it, friend! I am pleased to make your meal, and hope you enjoy it!"
Now, Raven frowned. "Um...the thing is Star...Robin had plans to take me out to dinner tonight...he already made the reservations and everything. I'm really sorry, you went through so much hard work making this for us...and I know he'd be thrilled to find out you don't hate him anymore." Raven swallowed the lump in her throat. "I guess...I could ask him to cancel the reservation..."
Starfire looked a bit down, but said "Nonsense, friend. Go to the 'out' with Robin, it shall be far more romantic."
"Thanks Star." A sly smile crept up on Raven's lips. "But you know what Star? Don't throw that dinner out just yet. I think I know someone who would REALLY appreciate it."
"You DO?? Who, Raven who??"
"Cyborg was just telling us about how BEAST BOY has been playing video games ALL day long. I'd imagine he's working up some appetite. There isn't any meat in...um...fungus...is there?"
"Not in THIS kind!"
"Ah...great. Then I'm SURE he'll love it."
"GLORIOUS! I shall continue to prepare the meal, then!"
Raven smirked to herself as she walked away. 'Cyborg better appreciate the things I do for him.' She thought. Then she smiled to herself. 'This is really turning out to be a great day. Especially with Star. Robin's been pretty miserable over how much he hurt her. He'll be really glad to find out that she forgives him. It would be nice if those two started getting close again.' Raven stopped walking, and gave what she was just thinking a second thought. 'Well, maybe not THAT close...'
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
"Wow, Robin. This place is...nice."
"I'm glad you like it, Rae. Order whatever you want. We're celebrating tonight."
The happy couple sat at their table, admiring the restaurant when their waiter finally arrived.
He was a young guy, maybe 18 or 19, about the same age as Raven and Robin. He was tall, and appeared to have a nice physique, although it was rather hard to tell under his shirt and vest. His hair was shiny, and black, like Robin's except unlike the boy wonder's his was long and slicked back. He also had a neatly trimmed "soul patch" under his lower lip. "Good evening folks. My name's Eric and I'll be your waiter for tonight." He handed the couple their menus, and flashed Raven a model-esq smile. "Hey there, gorgeous. If you want anything to drink tonight, just let me know. I won't card ya'."
"Uhm...thanks." As their waiter walked away, Raven shyly looked up at Robin and said "So...do you want to order something to drink? I mean, we probably won't get another chance like this until, well, we're 21."
Robin chuckled a bit. "Sure Rae, a little wine doesn't sound too bad actually."
Raven waved down the waiter the next chance she got. "Uhm, Eric?"
"What can I do for you, beautiful? You ready to order?"
"Uh, no, not yet, but uh, could we get two glasses of wine?"
Eric smiled. She had decided to take him up on his offer after all. "Two glasses huh? You THAT thirsty, babe?"
"Ah, no. One's for my boyfriend."
Eric scoffed. "Well, now sexy lady, I said I wouldn't card YOU, but I didn't say anything about your little friend here." He turned to Robin. "So what'll it be, Mack? You got ID?"
"...no." Robin muttered.
"Well, ain't that just too bad. So I guess that's just ONE glass of wine tonight, eh?"
"No, Eric." Said Raven. "I won't be needing mine anymore, thank you."
"Hmph. Suit yourself, babe." With that, he walked away to another table.
"Jerk." Spat Robin.
"Forget him, Rich." Raven said. "In fact, let's just forget this whole restaurant. Come on, let's get out of here." She looked over her shoulder back at Eric. "Besides, I've lost my appetite anyway."
"But...I wanted tonight to be special for you, Rae."
"Look Robin, we can stay here and try to pretend that that dick Eric isn't bothering us, or we can go home, and make sure we really DO have a...special night." She gave him a look full of lust, and immediately Robin knew what she meant.
The couple got up and started to march right out the door, when a voice called from behind them, "Leaving so soon beautiful? You haven't given me your number yet!"
Raven spun around and gave Eric a cold, hard glare. "Fuck off, Eric." She then turned around, linked her arm to Robin's and walked out the door.
Eric watched the two heroes leave out the door. 'Hmph.' He thought. 'You haven't gotten away from me THAT easily, babe. Not by a long shot...'
When they got back to the tower, the two titans snuck in, being careful not to attract any attention. Fortunately, it appeared that everyone had gone to sleep. Cyborg was passed out on the couch, and Starfire was asleep at the dining table, her head resting ever so gently in a bowl of fungus. They sneaked down the hall towards the bedrooms. As they passed the bathroom, Raven heard noises coming from inside that sounded like Beast Boy vomiting.
Raven's room was still quite a ways down and she couldn't wait any longer. Robin's room was closer so she opened the door and practically threw him in.
Robin backed up until he hit his bed, as Raven practically leaped onto him. He knew he should say something, after all, she had expressed to him the fact that she wanted to take things slowly. But the way she was kissing him, the way she was touching him, Robin didn't want it to end. But, no matter what, he was, if nothing else, a gentleman. "Rae...wait. Shouldn't we stop? I mean, not that I want to or anything, its just, we shouldn't be taking things so quickly..."
Raven smiled at her boyfriend. "Robin, it's really sweet of you to respect my feelings about...sex, and everything. But, tonight is our anniversary." She smiled at him again, this time with more than just a hint of lust in her eyes. "I want you Robin, right here and now. Besides, it's not like it would be our first time."
Robin nodded and immediately begun to take Raven's clothes off. He did it slowly though, gently removing one piece at a time. He smiled, he loved teasing her like this, because he knew it made her wild. When he had finished, he slowly started to move his kisses from her lips, down her neck, towards her collar bone and breasts. Raven moaned loudly, as if they were the only two people in the world. She didn't care who heard her.
Now it was her turn. She pulled away from Robin's mouth and started to tear his clothes off. She was far too lost in passion to play games now, she wanted just one thing, and that was to make love to her boyfriend. After stripping away the last bit of clothing on him, Raven kissed his chest and slowly started to move down...
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
'God...' Raven thought as she slowly slipped into consciousness, 'What a night...' She turned over to see if her lover had woken yet, but Robin was still out like a light. Raven climbed out of Robin's bed and walked over to his shower. She was still naked from the previous night, so she was able to just march straight in without having to stop.
Exhausted from the night before, the hot water felt relaxing on Raven's body. 'Aah,' She thought, 'this feels great. Although,' she smirked to herself, 'last night felt better.' Raven smiled, she was getting really comfortable with her new relationship with the boy wonder. They would wake up every morning in each others arms, cuddle and smile at each other, then get out of bed and start the day. After breakfast, they would go to the rooftop, and Robin would join Raven in her meditation. Every night, they would sleep together, using the dictionary definition of the word "sleep", of course. When they first got together, Raven had asked Robin to take their relationship slowly. She didn't want to overload herself with feelings of love and lust every night, although, like the night of their one month anniversary, a few...exceptions, could be made.
After finishing her shower, Raven toweled herself off and walked over to Robin's dresser. A few weeks ago, she had started leaving clothes in one of his drawers so she'd have a fresh set to change into. She took out some underwear and a big comfy sweat shirt. She put them on and headed back to bed. Raven climbed back in, and wrapped her arms around Robin. "Morning, Wonder Boy." She whispered in his ear.
Robin stirred, and without opening his eyes, smiled and mumbled a reply. "Mmm. Morning, Star."
By the time they got back to the tower, Robin was still laughing, and Raven had a small, but quite content smile on her face.
"There's my favorite happy couple!" shouted Cyborg as he saw them walk in the door. He strode over and placed an arm around each of their shoulders. "You know, I was JUST saying to myself, 'Hey!
