Author's Note: OK... I'm back from enrolling... Back to the fic... I'm giving
them different looks in this chapter... I kinda want to portray them as
teenagers and not super heroes... I came from a drinking session last night
and I thought it might be interesting. When people have alcohol in their
veins, they seem to be more themselves so you know...I love this song so I
wanted to put it here ... it's more of a just for kicks chapter...
Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans. I am not making money and this song
is By Saliva and not me.... Yey that's over.
Chapter 3: Guitar on the Rooftop
Raven made it a point to never ever spar with caped partners ever again
while she took a shower. She was pretty tired out so she decided that going
to the café was not an option. The thought of her drooling on the café
table due to exhaustion wasn't something she wanted to experience in
reality... She stayed in her room for most of the day, trying and failing
miserably, to forget the "training session" earlier.
In place of what she has now come to call as her uniform, she was now
wearing a pair of black, jogging pants with a dark purple sweater. It's
almost midnight and everyone else was asleep already. She left her room and
floated through the ceiling to go to the rooftop to take in the night view...
At least she wouldn't have to see Robin.
She heard a guitar playing...
And someone was singing.
Very well.
She stepped out quietly. She saw a few bottles and a glass next to him...and
saw Robin playing guitar and singing... She listens.
Look at me... my depth perception must be off again
You got much closer than I thought you did....
She walks quietly behind him. Moving closer to the source of her curiosity.
Would you find it in your heart to make this go away...
And let me rest in pieces...
He was playing like he was in a trance. Kind of like how she was when she
would write poems or read... Almost as if the world itself did not exist...or
maybe he's just drunk.
Would you find it in your heart to make this go away...
And let me rest in pieces...
His voice was getting louder and he was strumming a lot harder. She was
wondering how he managed to do this and not let anyone else know.
Would you find it in your heart to make this go away...
And let me rest in pieces...
He stops playing and takes another swig from the bottle. And notices the
reflection on it. Apparently, just because he's a little...tipsy doesn't mean
he doesn't notice details any worse.
"Hey... wanna join me?" He asked.
Sitting down with a guy who is slightly tipsy on the roof of a really tall
building wasn't exactly something she was familiar with. A little voice in
her head was telling her to just turn around and walk back inside.
"....sure."
Like I said... a little voice.
She sat 2 feet away from him. She was in front of him. He was wearing a
black shirt and a pair of jeans... and no mask. Gold met Purple again.
"So.....How long were you standing there...?" He asked.
"I didn't know you did...that." She was suddenly very interested with the
texture of the roof... so she wouldn't have to look at him in the eyes.
"It was that bad?"
"...not at all."
He put some in the glass and offered it to Raven.
"I don't think it's fair that you see me in this state sober." He joked.
"...."
She took a drink. Tasting the bittersweet flavor of it... She took a few more
drinks.
"How long have you been playing?" She asked in between sips.
"Hmm... around 3 years now I think..." He took another swig.
He started talking about how he started playing... She started talking about
her poetry.
"Hey, maybe we can do a song together or something..." He joked.
He tried to stand up.
He was getting unsteady. Raven was now conscious of his state of mind and
began to worry.
"How long have you been out here drinking?"
"Hmm... since 10?"
Ok... so he's not just tipsy.
"I think you should be heading back in now... We're not exactly on the 3rd
floor."
"What you scared I'd jump?"
"Not very funny Boy Won..."
Before she could finish, he began to run for the ledge
Raven was in a state of disbelief and hesitated.
He jumped.
His arms were stretched out and he jumped. His face was surprisingly
peaceful. His eyes were closed and he was smiling. He flew for a split
second...
And started to fall....
Raven didn't know how fast he was falling... But she dove a lot faster after
him. She put her hands close to her sides to make her go faster. Her eyes
were blazing white as she mustered her powers to catch up with him. She
stretched out her hand to grab him.
He was warm...
She felt a sense of completion as he held on to her...
She grabbed him by the shoulder and he was facing her. She held on to him
as he did her.
She flew up to bring them back to the roof.
She felt her feet on firm ground and felt let out a sigh of relief.
She was still warm...
He wasn't letting go.
He loosened his grip but he didn't lift his arms from her...
"....thanks." he whispered.
She felt a slight jolt in her system from that word. Her hands were now
between them. She huddled her hands to her chest...feeling his own arms over
hers. She wanted to stay like this. So much so, she almost forgot how mad
she was...
Almost.
"What the hell were you thinking?!?!??!!"
The one time that she finally gets the guts to do what she does...it had to
be to push him away...Strike 3.
That pipe was bending again.
Robin fell a few steps back but managed to keep standing...tilting but still
standing.
Raven was so emotional she caused a few screws to wiggle in their sockets
and it made some parts of the building creak... The alcohol was taking a toll
on her as well...She turned from him and began to walk away.
"Raven, come on... it wasn't like I wanted to die....or anything..."
"...go ahead jump again. I won't catch you next time. I'm sure the street
would love for you to kiss it at 60 miles per hour before impact."
Woah...she just made a breakthrough. She really was getting better at this
"concealing emotions from Robin" thing. But it wasn't holding... she could
feel her eyes getting slightly watery. She walked faster... heading towards
the door.
Robin's really fast.
Useful in battle.
And annoying for her when it came to trying to get away from him.
He was in front of her blocking her way...
"Look Ok...I know that was a stupid thing to do..."
"No shit."
"Let me finish?"
She was wavering. A tear escaped the hold of her lashes.
"You're worse than Beast Boy..."
"You sure got a mouth when you're drunk..."
"I believe what you were supposed to say is... Raven, I think I owe you an
apology and an even better explanation as to why I ran and made a very bad
attempt at flying and..."
Interruptions are rude... but I think she was asking for it. Don't you?
No...he did not kiss her.
She felt a lump in her stomach travel up towards her mouth. She turned away
from him and hurled. Alcohol, Adrenaline, and High Blood Pressure don't
mix.

Annoying aren't I...? Anyways... I was thinking of making the other chapters in
Robins point of view but I dunno...It's fun in Raven's perspective. :D I will
try to update a lot more.
