Chapter 6

Raven woke up from a dream where it felt like she was burning in hell. Actually, she was burning from a fever.

"Oh dear Raven, your skin is so hot! I shall get the thermostat right away!" cried Starfire, heading for the first-aid kit.

"I think she meant thermometer," thought Raven, frowning. She curled back into the covers with her muscles aching.

In the other room, Cyborg was taking Robin's temperature with his scanner. "You've got a fever, Robin, 100.7 degrees Fahrenheit. Sorry you're having a rough start on this vacation," said the half-robot, putting away his scanner.

Robin inwardly smiled. No, it isn't too bad. As his mind returned to yesterday's events, he sat bolt upright. "Raven, how is she?"

Beast Boy and Cyborg were startled by the demanding voice. "We'll, uh, go check on her now," said Beast Boy, frowning.

As soon as the two closed their bedroom door, the green teenager whispered, "Dude, did something happen while we were gone?" Cyborg simply shrugged as he knocked on the girl's door.

Starfire opened the door, holding Raven's thermometer reading. "Poor Raven has a fever. She is still not feeling well."

The pale girl suddenly appeared at the doorway, causing Starfire to panic. "Raven! You should be in bed!"

"I'm fine," she lied, "H-how's Robin?" Raven turned to face the two boys.

Cyborg and Beast Boy looked at each other with widened eyes. Their past wondering question had just proved to be somewhat true.

"Cyborg? Beast Boy?" Raven's voice quivered. She didn't like the way they were looking at each other.

"Oh, um," the animal-shifter finally replied, "He's fine. He's got a fever like you, and sent us here to make sure...you were okay."

"Robin's too sweet," whispered Raven, and she strolled back into her bedroom with light, graceful steps.

Cyborg walked towards the kitchen while Beast Boy went back to Robin, both frowning. Okay...that was interesting.

A while later, Starfire emerged from her room, followed by lightheaded Raven, cheeks flushed from the fever. As they sat in front of the breakfast bar, Robin came out with his hair all messy and un-gelled. Beast Boy stifled a snigger. Haha...

"Morning Raven," said Robin as he sat down next to her. She looks so pretty with rosy cheeks.

"Morning Robin." He doesn't look too bad without hair gel. In fact, he looks cute.

"Uh," Cyborg pried his eyes from the scene. Robin and Raven were staring at each other a look he had never seen before...except in...romance movies, "Breakfast? Ham and cheese omelets."

"Ham!? It comes from a pig!" cried Beast Boy.

"Er, duh. Your point?"

"I've been a pig!"

"No way man. You're always a pig!"

"You're going to eat me!"

"...So?"

"You can't eat me!"

"I can't? Wait...I'm not eating you, I'm eating ham, which you aren't, so I ain't."

Beast Boy, now furious (and not to mention a bit confused), took out his tofu waffles and headed for the toaster, grumbling about "stupid insane people who ramble like idiots."

Unfortunately, sharp-eared Cyborg heard him, "You're sounding like Gizmo."

"Well, at least I don't eat poor defenseless creatures who are slaughtered for your taste bud's enjoyment!"

"Oh yea?" (Okay, here we go again...)

After Cyborg, Beast Boy (still fuming), and Starfire left for that day's tour, Robin spoke to Raven, "Well, I'm guessing since we both a fever, we'll need to get some rest."

"But what if...we need something?"

Robin grabbed Raven's hand and was distressed at how warm they were. "How about if we both rest in the same bedroom? That way, if one of us needs something, the other will just be a call away."

The gothic girl smiled and led him to her room. Raven snuggled in her bed and fell asleep right away. Robin sat down on Starfire's bed and studied Raven's sleeping form. She looks so peaceful, so pure, and so beautiful. He leaned into Starfire's bed, and was glad housekeeping came every afternoon to clean the sheets. The alien girl wouldn't be too happy to share any germs that Robin might have at the moment. After a few more minutes of staring at the sleeping goddess, the Boy Wonder fell into a light sleep.

Raven woke up feeling the gaze of Robin and turned to face him in his bed.

The other teen noticed that she was shivering. "Cold?"

Raven wrapped the covers around her tightly. "Pre-fever."

Robin got up and slipped under the covers next to Raven, wrapping his arms around her and sharing his warmth. She smiled and kissed him lightly. "Thanks Richard, I feel so much warmer."

Robin kissed her back passionately and both fell asleep with each other in their arms.

After a few hours, both of them woke up with a start after hearing voices in the outside room.

"They're back so soon?" grumbled Raven. She looked at the clock and it read 2:18 PM.

"They must have been worried about us, and speaking about us, they are so going to get the wrong idea!" Robin leapt off of the bed, and Raven looked around frenziedly.

Meanwhile, outside, Beast Boy and Cyborg entered Robin's room to check on him. "Robin?" called the animal-shifter, "Robin? He's not here."

"Well, where could he have gone? It's not like he had the energy to go anywhere other than this suite..."

Both of them looked at each other for a split second, and then turned their gaze towards the door across from them, which Starfire was heading towards. Beast Boy turned bright scarlet.

"Um Starfire!" He called.

"Yes?" Her hand was on the knob, reading to turn.

"No wait, I mean," Cyborg arrived at her side, "I-I don't think it's a good idea to...open that door."

"What do you mean?" She turned the knob halfway, "I have to check on my friend."

"But--!" Before Beast Boy could finish protesting, Starfire swung open the door and peered inside. Cyborg and his green friend couldn't dare see what was going to be discovered.

"Oh, Robin. I didn't know you are here!" chirped Starfire, cheerfully. Wait, cheerfully?

Beast Boy opened his eyes. "Huh?"

Raven and Robin were sitting across from each other in front of a table strewn with magazines of Hawaii. They looked up from what they were reading and smiled.

"Hi Starfire. Back so soon?" said Robin, noticing Cyborg and Beast Boy peering over her shoulders with surprised looks on their faces.

"You guys weren't—", began the green changeling.

"We thought that if we couldn't join the fun, we'd at least see what was out there," interrupted Raven blushing and totally aware what Beast Boy was going to spew out.

Beast Boy opened his mouth but remained silent for a while. "...Oh..."

"So have you two recovered from your fever?" asked Starfire, clasping her hands.

"Somewhat," replied the two teenagers at the table together.

Cyborg and BB stared at each other. "Something's going onnn," muttered Cyborg through the side of his mouth.

"Dude, like seriously," replied Beast Boy in the same fashion. Unfortunately, Starfire noticed the two boys acting a bit strange.

"What are you guys muttering about?" she questioned eagerly.

"Eh, we were, um, planning a-a surprise lunch!" Beast Boy sweat-drops and quickly drags Cyborg in the direction of the kitchen.

Robin raised an eyebrow. "Them? Cooking together?"

"Oh how glorious! A surprise lunch! I shall make some of my surprise pudding for dessert to add to the occasion!" cried the redhead, giddy with joy. Before either Robin or Raven could protest their horror, Starfire ran to join the other two cooks.

As soon as she left, Robin got up and closed the door, where the commotion from the kitchen was getting louder and crazier. "Phew, that was a close one. Glad you think fast, Raven."

"But we really have to thank Starfire for stockpiling all these magazines that she took from the lobby."

"She's making pudding, so I guess we're neutral."

Raven laughed quietly and got up. She wrapped her arms around Robin's neck and leaned against his chest, listening to the calm beating of his heart. Robin gently lifted up Raven's chin and looked into the eyes that had always captivated him since the first day they met.

"I love you Raven," he whispered.

Raven smiled. "I love you too Richard."

They leaned in and kissed differently, now that they had finally confessed their love for each other.

...And I melt... (") ♥ (")
