No One Understands

Chapter Four: Connection

Yep, Aleia has returned with her next chapter! I hope you review so I have a way of making the story seem long without it actually being long. :D LOL, okay, with that said, enjoy!

Kimi 13 Thank you! Yep, RobinxRaven is the best!!

Raven couldn't believe that she hurt a fellow Titan. She'd definitely had issues with them—Beast Boy was so right, as much as Raven hated to say it. No matter what, though, they'd always tolerated her and her monotony. That didn't explain why she was so freaked out around Robin, though. It was as if—as if—as if...Raven liked Robin. "Am I insane?" Raven asked out loud to her empty room. "Am I? Why is everything so confusing?" She groaned and, for what seemed like the millionth time, pulled up her hood and went into the main room. She didn't really know why she kept doing that.

"Raven? Why do you keep coming in and out of here?" Robin was the only one there. Again. Raven felt her face heating up for the bazillionth time. "I don't know. I get bored, okay?" At least the answer made sense. Robin just nodded.

Robin looked at Raven and was surprised at how fast his heart seemed to beat. She really was quite pretty, and Robin found it strange he had never realized it before. Wait. Why am I thinking like this about Raven? Robin wondered. He liked Starfire. Didn't he? Star was pretty, but sometimes Robin found it tiring the way she always wondered what something as simple as a flower was. Raven was different. She knew everything but she never told. Robin liked that, the way she knew it but wanted someone to find out for themselves. Beast Boy and Cyborg had made it clear to Robin that Star was most likely crazy for him and Robin probably liked her too, but now, Robin wasn't so sure.

Raven yanked open the fridge. Was there anything that didn't have mold on it? She spotted the rest of the Cherry Garcia (A/N: I'm assuming they have ice cream) in the back and scooped some out into a bowl. "Want any?" she asked, pointed the spoon towards Robin. She felt generous today, although she didn't know why.

Robin felt a little surprised. It wasn't every day that Raven was nice to him—or anyone, for the matter. "Okay." Raven pushed the rest of the box over to him. She'd already scooped some for herself. "So. Why are you being nice?" Raven looked a little surprised at the direct question. She pushed her hair behind her ear. "I don't know. I felt like it. Are you saying I'm not nice?" Robin blushed. "Well, no. You just don't..." Raven raised her eyebrows. "Go on." Robin sometimes hated the way she never finished your sentence. She made you finish it yourself. "Well...I don't know. You get it, don't you?" She nodded. "You're saying I don't exactly have a very nice outer layer do I?"

Robin couldn't help it. He nodded. Raven laughed slightly, and Robin felt slightly shocked. He had made Raven laugh. She had a nice laugh. It wasn't a big laugh like Cyborg or Beast Boy's, or a girly little giggle like Star's. It was somewhere in the middle, and Robin thought it was just perfect.

"Yeah, I guess I'm not the friendliest person. It's not really my fault. They just...get to me, especially Beast Boy. It's easy for you, they worship you. I'm a part of the scenery, no one cares. I left for three whole hours and no one cares." Robin looked shocked. "Was that why you were all bent out of shape? Raven, you spend so much time in that room we're used to you never coming out." Raven sighed. "Yeah, well, thanks for that."

Robin laughed. "You have a way of even making compliments insults. And by the way, don't worry about BB. He'll get over it."

Bad chapter? Good chapter? I don't know. Review please!
