Kuri: Okay, guys, I'm telling you this in advance. School is almost coming up so I might be late with my updates... That's all...
Disclaimer: I know you see this almost everytime but I need to insert it so that I won't be sued since this fic is... well, something... I don't own Teen Titans. Period.
"The smile that melts my heart"
Chapter 3
"A little conversation with a hint of confessions"
----------------------------------------------------
--Robin's POV—
"Raven?" I knocked on the door. "It's me, Robin."
I heard footsteps approach the door. Then, the lock slid open and the door opened a tiny crack.
"May I... come in...?" I asked nervously.
"What is your purpose for coming here?" she questioned in a flat tone.
"I... I... just wanted to... umm... talk to you..." I stammered.
I saw Raven's eyes study my facial expression. Now, that really made me nervous!!!
"Access denied." She said. With that, she slammed the door in front of my face.
"Ra-ven!!!" I pleaded.
The door opened. "Chill, Robin! I was just kidding!"
I let out a nervous giggle. "So... may I enter?"
Raven turned around and headed inside, leaving the door open behind her. I took that as a yes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So," Raven said as she closed the door. "What brings you here?"
"I... umm... well..."
Raven sighed. "Here we go again!"
"Okay, okay, I'm gonna be honest. I came here for no reason. It's just that I..."
"You wanted to see me?"
"Well... since you put it that way..."
Raven crossed her arms in front of her and didn't say anything.
The silence was killing me!
"So, where have you been for the past year?" I blurted out.
"Me?" And once again, Raven gave me her ever-so-famous look. "Nothing much. Same old, same old. Although I've been checking this guy out and—"
"Oh wait! Hold on! Checking out a guy?!" I cut in.
"Yeah." Raven said, shooting one of those creepy looks again. "Why? Do you have a problem with that?"
"Well..." I could feel the blood on my cheeks boil. "No... I was just surprised..." I lied. "So, could you tell me more about this... guy?" I asked, pretending to be interested.
"Glad you asked. His name is really nice... like one of those miserable flying creatures that fly around every single morning and singing those annoying tunes!" Raven cleared her throat. "Anyway, I don't know how to describe him... He's rather nice and... distant. He doesn't know that I like him since he's busy doing... stuff. He isn't really much of a "dream boy" but well, I like him."
"Oh, I see..." I said quietly. Once again, Raven has found another way to crush my heart. And suddenly, out of nowhere, I said, "I remember earlier the hotel receptionist calling you he 'Goddess of Death'. What exactly did he mean by that? Plus, he said that you were crying! What the heck is that?! That is like, so unbelievable!" 'Smooth move, Robin... What a big mouth you have!'
Raven didn't answer me. Well, I didn't expect her to, anyway. She just stared blankly into space. But still! I wanted an answer!
"Raven?" I waved my hand in front of her face.
"Oh." Raven blinked and shook her head, snapping out of it. "I..." she looked at her digital clock hanging beside the table lamp. "I have to be somewhere right now so, if you don't mind..." Raven motioned for the door.
"But I just want my question to be answered!" I protested.
"Robin! I'm in a hurry so, please!"
"Oh, all right!" I gave in. "I'll see you soon, then?" I took a step outside.
"Yeah, whatever." Raven slammed the door in front of my face—again. Man, talk about deja vu!
I remained in that position for a moment, pondering to myself... as usual.
I don't know which one should I be surprised at. The fact that Raven was in love with a guy or she was trying to avoid my question... I am just so confused!
All in all, this is how I should represent what I really feel like! I am a boyfriend and my girlfriend has just dumped me. So, I asked her, "but would you still love me?" And what my girlfriend would do is to just simply walk away. That's exactly how I felt!!! I am so depressed!
I didn't know this whole thing would just turn out so... complicated! I let out a low moan. "Why? Why? Why?!"
Letting out a frustrated sigh, I headed to my room with my head all jumbled up. But I guess only one idea stood out.
Raven.
