Damn server not found. I'll show you! Anyways, fanfiction was giving me lip, so I wrote this instead. I do have a few things to say, as usual. I hate to keep doing it, but review my stories. Good or bad, I do not care. I just want a lot of reviews like I used to have before something went wrong. But you don't have to review, your choice. I just hope my stuff doesn't get deleted again. R and R please.
I do not own Teen Titans.

Chapter 6: Jealousy Sucks
Robin's View
She left him. Just like that she left him. Raven just walked off, parting with some cruel words. He wanted to stop her, to tell her that he was really sorry. But he didn't. Robin regretted getting with Starfire right then. He shouldn't have done it. Anger drove him to it, he couldn't help himself. She was there. Cute and innocent as always. Robin didn't want to be with her, but now he was, and he didn't have the heart to break up with her.
It's not as if Starfire was a bad girlfriend. They had spent the entire night together. They pretty much just hung out. Talking and laughing. They watched a few movies, got a bite to eat around four in the morning, and then laid down for a few hours. Robin had enjoyed it. What wasn't to like? He was going out with this ungodly hot girl, who wanted nothing more than to please him. But that didn't mean that it was right. Robin went against his beliefs to be with Starfire, and now he was deeply regretting it. He knew he would have to end it eventually, and someone would be hurt.
Robin wasn't sure where Raven went. She had gone around the corner and he hadn't bothered to follow, figuring that she wanted to be alone. So he retreated to his room, hearing pounding noises in the distance as he did. Starfire eagerly greeted him, jumping up and giving him a bone crunching hug. "Hey," He said weakly, putting his arms around her in a half hearted manner. Starfire put him down, studying his face. "Are you alright?" She asked him skeptically. Robin nodded, trying to show as little emotion as possible. Then he plopped down on his bed.
"Raven is upset," Robin muttered. Starfire sat down next to him. "I thought she may be. Her and I had a talk, and it seems that she wanted to be with you as well," Starfire told him. "I know," Robin said darkly, remembering his and Raven's argument the previous night. Starfire didn't continue with the topic, but started to hum happily. It was one of the things that Robin liked about Raven more. She could tell when something was wrong, Starfire was too happy to notice sometimes.
He decided to get some rest, laying down in his bed. Starfire rested her head on his chest. He sighed slowly. He really wanted to be alone at the moment, but was too tired to actually do anything about it. Despite the depression, Robin was glad about one thing. Starfire hadn't said "I love you". He wasn't sure that she understand the concept of love, and that might be why. She had mentioned it when they were talking, but that was about it. Robin glanced on his desk, where his picture of the team was. He shut his eyes, wishing he could go back and change everything.
It was beginning to get late, and Robin realized that he couldn't hide forever. But if he went out of his room, he may run into Raven again. He wasn't ready for that, the pain still with him. She didn't believe him. Robin had been holding in the secret for over a year and she didn't think that it was true. It was eating away at him. Would he be able to correct his mistake? Would Raven allow him to? He hoped so. It was all he had left now. Hope...
Starfire had fallen asleep on him. He glanced down at her, and felt a brief moment of happiness. He had to admit, he might not want to be in this relationship now, but it felt good to at least have someone. He hugged her tightly to him, and kissed her gently on the cheek as he sat up. Robin loved Starfire, just not in the same way as Raven. Still, he would always watch over her. He made sure that she was under the covers, and then exited his room quietly.
Robin decided to go himself a sandwich. Sure, it was morning time, but was there a better way than starting the day off with a club sandwich? 'Nope' Robin thought to himself, grinning as he reached the kitchen. None of the other Titans were in there, not even Raven. He let out a deep breath, glad to be alone. Robin opened the fridge, quickly pulling out some bread and putting it in the toaster. He noted this absence of ham, which disturbed him. He had really been craving that ham. 'Why?' He thought and laughed. Just another thing to make him feel worse. Robin threw on some turkey and mayo to his now toasted bread, and then sat down to enjoy his food, a glass of milk at his place.
He sat there, alone and crunching, thinking about what he could do. Relationships were so much more complicated than anything else. 'I bet even Slade couldn't have handled this' He thought. Robin took another bite of his sandwich, then took a swig of milk to wash it down. The door opened. He looked up to it, and then spit out his milk instantly.
"Raven, Beast Boy? He managed to choke out, coughing like mad. His two friends were standing in the doorway, holding hands and looking awkward. "Yeah..." Beast Boy said. Raven said something quietly, and the two walked over to the couch. Robin stared at them, his mouth hanging open the entire time. "When did-? How the- What the hell is going on?!?" He finally yelled as they sat down. Beast Boy jumped a mile, and Raven smiled at him.
"We're together now," Raven said simply, emphasizing the word "we're". Robin looked at her, extremely confused and angry. 'But why?" He asked himself. "When did this happen?" He asked them. "Dude, calm down. It only happened like a few minutes ago," Beast Boy said. Robin glared at him. "Calm down?" He said, sounding as if the idea was ludicrous. The two nodded quickly. "Ahh!" Robin yelled, storming back to his room.
He couldn't believe it. There was Raven. And then there was Beast Boy. But Raven with Beast Boy? This could only mean one thing. "The apocalypse must be coming," A voice behind him said. Robin turned to see Cyborg behind him, holding a large box of metal objects. "Huh?" The Boy Wonder asked. "I just saw Raven and Beast Boy making out. Neva thought it was possible," Cyborg said. Robin gaped at him. 'Making out!' "That's because it isn't supposed to be possible!" He yelled and rushed into his room.
Starfire was still sleeping on his bed, one foot hanging over the side. He sat down on it, stroking her hair as he thought. Couldn't she of waited. A couple of days would've done it. He'd have let her calm down, broke up with Starfire nicely... "But now," He said out loud. Starfire stirred upon his bed. He looked at her, an evil feeling coming over him. "Starfire!" Robin yelled. The alien girl jumped up. "What is it? Are we being attacked?" She asked urgently, her hands glowing with green energy. "Uh... no," He answered. "I just wanted to wake you up, let's go eat," He added.
She stared at him, looking unsure. "Alright. I think it was time that I awakened as it is," Starfire said and stood up, yawning loudly. She put her boots back on and began to walk out the door. "Wait up!" Robin yelled after her, practically flying to grab her hand. Starfire smiled. "You seem very eager today," She said to him. "Oh I am," Robin replied.
He walked out into the hall with Starfire, forcing a smile as he reached the living room. Raven and Beast Boy were no where in sight... and neither was Robin's sandwich. "Where did my club..." He trailed off as he saw a hand reach into the air from the couch. Robin walked over to it with Starfire, and stared down at Raven and Beast Boy. They were laying on their sides, Beast Boy behind Raven and his arms around her. Raven was not only smiling... but eating his sandwich as well! "Thanks for the food Robin," She said as she chewed away.
"I see how it is..." Robin whispered. She was trying to make him mad, jealous perhaps. Eating his food, being with Beast Boy. It was all a set up. He went around on the other side of the large couch, and sat down with Starfire. "What is-" Robin caught off his girlfriend with a passionate kiss, which Starfire eagerly returned once he finished. He glanced at Raven, who was watching, open mouthed and wide eyed. "That was enjoyable!" Starfire said in a happy voice as they parted.
Robin turned, smiling cruelly as he looked back at Raven. He was shocked to see that she had turned around to Beast Boy, and was kissing him deeply. Her legs were around him, and his hands were running through her hair. He mashed his teeth together, and then turned back to Starfire. She let out a small yelp as he lifted her up, and then laid her on top of him. She sat up slightly. "Robin?" Starfire said, sounding confused and curious at the same time. Robin didn't answer, but pulled her down instead, pulling her into another kiss.
Meanwhile, the only remaining Titan walked into the room. Cyborg patted his hands together. "What are those damn noises?" He said annoyed as he reached for some food. Cyborg walked around the to couch and stared. He walked away silently from the two couples, who were making put in an extremely hot way. Backing his way over to the hall, Cyborg took off running. "I really need a girlfriend," He said as he entered his room.
Raven and Robin both stopped their kissing for a moment to stare at each other. For a moment neither of them moved. Robin didn't know about Raven but he knew that he would rather have it be her on top of him than Starfire. If he had only looked closer, he would have been able to tell that Raven was thinking the same about him.
Raven's View
Staring at Robin for that brief moment had really affected Raven. She looked back up at Beast Boy, who still had his eyes closed. She got up, brushing herself off slightly. "I'll be back," She said and rushed off to her room, leaving a stunned Beast Boy behind.
Raven entered her room, emotions flooding through her head. She had intended to make Robin jealous, and probably succeeded. But she in no way shape or form intended for him to turn it around on her. Seeing him kiss another girl, a right she wanted, was way too much for her. Beast Boy was a great guy, and not a bad kisser, but Robin was just... not Beast Boy? "I need some time away from Robin," She spoke aloud. She was having a great time with Beast Boy, but it would probably be better without Robin around. After their kiss, she felt so much closer to the changeling, and was actually enjoying their relationship. But now...
Raven went back out into the living room, where a still confused Beast Boy smiled at her as she entered. "Up for a date tonight?" She asked, feeling completely stupid. She sounded so preppy when she said that. "Yeah, sure," Beast Boy answered and looked over at Robin. "No," The Boy Wonder said simply. Beast Boy, grumbling, jumped over the couch and stood in front of Raven. He grabbed her hands, grinning. 'Cute...' Raven thought, once again feeling dumb as she said it to herself. "I think I need to do some stuff first..." Raven said. "Fine. See ya later babe," Beast Boy said and kissed her. She returned it, only because Robin was watching though. She walked away feeling better.
000
Finally it came. Her first date. The rest of the day had gone by without incident. Her and Robin had spent most of the time making each other jealous, which isn't the healthiest way to heal a friendship. But she was too mad to do anything else, so she went on with it. Raven tore through her closet, trying to find something suitable. She didn't always go out in her fighting clothes. Look at her closet would give you a different idea though. "Leotard, leotard, cloak, cloak, tank top, leaotar- tank top!" Raven yelled as she saw it. She pulled it out, and looked at it.
It looked a little too small perhaps. She tried on the tank top, which was of course black. Raven looked herself up and down in the mirror. Just as she had thought, it was slightly small. Her stomach was showing off slightly and it was a little low cut. She smiled. 'This should drive Robin insane' She thought. Raven looked down more. She had put on extremely tight black jeans. Then, thinking she didn't look like herself, added a black belt with metal studs on it. "Perfect," She said to herself. Finally she decided on comfort, putting on her normal boots, though those to were black. A knock at her door drew her away.
Beast Boy stood in the doorway, looking weird. He barely ever got out of his uniform, so this was a change. He was wearing a long black T-shirt with an American flag on it. He was also wearing very loose looking black pants, which he was holding up. Throwing the dark colors off were his bright green shoes. "Hey," Beast Boy said slowly, his eyes never leaving Raven. She smiled. "Ready to go?" She asked him. He blinked several times. "Yeah, let's move. Robin and Star are leaving soon too," He said. Raven stopped in her tracks, halfway out the door. "What?" She asked. "Yeah, they're going on a date too," Beast Boy said.
Raven shifted her eyes around. 'Damn you Boy Wonder!' She thought. "Let's just move fast," She finally said and walked out, her arm linked around Beast Boy's. They entered the living room, attracting the attention of the other Titans. "My, my, don't you two look nice?" Robin said in a sarcastic sounding voice, though he looked slightly stunned. Raven gave her one-hundredth glare at Robin that day. Cyborg smiled at Raven , but laughed at Beast Boy. "Nice shoes," He muttered and unpaused his game. Starfire actually wasn't in the room. "Well we'll be going," Raven said quickly and made a dash for the exit.
"Hold on..." A voice behind her said. She sighed, knowing who it was. Robin grabbed her arm and pulled her aside quickly. "We need to talk," He said to her. Raven agreed completely but... "Not now!" She hissed at him. "Later then?" Robin asked, sounding sad. She melted at the sight, her anger washing away as she stared at her crush's sad face. "Yeah. That'd be... nice," She said sincerely. Robin let her go, allowing Raven and Beast Boy to leave.
After a silent elevator, the two went outside. Beast Boy morphed into a bird as Raven flew up, and they went towards the city. Raven took the time to think. Had she once again made a stupid mistake? Robin seemed genuinely sad, maybe she wasn't doing the right thing.
She glanced at the hawk form of Beast Boy, smiling. Beast Boy was really sweet, always complimenting her and doing everything right. But he just wasn't her type. Too immature, too uninterested in love. 'After all. You don't love him you love Rob-' She cut herself off in her thoughts. 'What!?' Her mind screamed. 'You said that you loved Robin! But...' Raven couldn't figure it out. She never thought, not even for a moment, that she had loved Robin. But why had she just said it? "Another mistake, that's all," She told herself and shook off the thought.
They arrived, seeing the movie theater below them. Raven landed next to Beast Boy, who morphed back quickly. "Oh no..." He said as he reached into his pockets. "What?" She asked him. "I don't have any money, I gave it to Robin to use for your guys date!" Beast Boy said laughing. Raven didn't answer, what he had said was bothering her. 'Robin was telling the truth...' She realized, sure of it now. But then she smiled, trying not to get on the thought of Robin at the moment. The truth also meant that Beast Boy sacrificed his own money just for her and Robin to be happy. Raven shook off the thoughts, her last one not satisfying her much.
"I can pay, but you'll owe me," Raven said. Beast Boy smiled and nodded. "I promise I will," He said as she grabbed onto him. She teleported them into the lobbying, sending off several frightened yells from surrounders. "Two for Resident Evil: Apocalypse," Beast Boy said to the smiling lady behind the counter. She handed them the tickets after Raven passed the money to her. Beast Boy led the way, holding Raven's hand as they moved their way through the crowd. "We'd better hurry and get food, it's almost started," Beast Boy said. They quickly got some popcorn with no butter, a large coke, and some sour patch kids.
Raven and Beast Boy entered a nearly full theater, and found all the seats up top were gone. They went down to the flat on the floor seats, and went to the front row to be alone. Beast Boy smiled at her as they sat down. "You ok?" He asked her. Raven thought for a moment. "Sort of. Me and Robin need to talk," She answered. Beast Boy's face fell. Clearly he was worried about that. She didn't bother to do anything about it, mostly because he kissed her a moment later.
They broke apart a moment later. "Oh Ro-" She slapped a hand to her mouth. Beast Boy stared at her strangely. "What?" He asked. Raven started to apologize but Beast Boy cut her off. "I can't hear you," He said. Raven suddenly noticed the amount of noise that had begun as the previews had started. She let out a deep breath quickly.
Beast Boy grasped her hand on the arm rest, the movie beginning to start. Raven really didn't do much watching, she mostly thought. However, certain parts kept making her look at the movie, so she finally started to pay attention. "Not bad so far," Beast Boy said to her. She nodded her head. Then she heard it. A familiar giggle behind her, then some loud talking. It couldn't be... not them. Raven didn't dare turn around. But the talking continued, and she could hear angry whispers behind them. "That's it!" Beast Boy said loudly. He shot up in his seat before Raven could stop him.
"Alright buddy how about you shut... Robin?" Beast Boy's voice calmed a visible amount. "Beast Boy?" Raven heard Robin's voice say. "Shut up and sit down!" A man in the crowd yelled. "Outside," Robin whispered. Beast Boy walked past Raven without a word, and she turned around to see Starfire there. "What are you guys doing here?" She asked urgently. "It is a long story. First our-" "Starfire!" Robin's voice said. "Shhh!" A bunch of people said. "C'mon" Raven said and got up, rushing out of the theater right behind Starfire.
"We're out of here!" Robin said angrily. "Why?" Raven asked him. "Because you two are here!" He said, grabbing Starfire by the arm and yanking her toward the door. "So?" Beast Boy spoke up from the exit. Robin didn't answer, but kept moving, out of the door and into the darkness. Raven rushed after him, Starfire and Beast Boy behind her. "Woah, woah, woah. Hold up dude. You got a problem with us?" Beast Boy asked Robin as they caught up.
Robin turned slowly. Raven stopped, taking the short pause to look around. They had walked way past the theater, and were in some sort of alley. "I don't have a problem with you. I don't even have a problem with her," Robin said, pointing at Beast Boy and then Raven. "Then what?" Beast Boy asked. "I've got a problem with the two of you together!" Robin yelled and stormed off again. Beast Boy quickly followed. He was about to yell. "Wait," Raven said. The others stared at her, surprised. "I'd like to be alone with Robin for a while," She said.
Everyone stared at her, silent and shocked. "Fine," Robin said, finally stopping completely. "You two go back to the tower together, we'll be back later," Robin ordered. "But-" Beast Boy said but Raven silenced him with a look. Starfire merely nodded, hugging Robin quickly and flying off. "I'll see you later," Beast Boy said. Raven nodded again. He went to kiss her, but she turned her face, and it landed on her cheek. She looked down awkwardly. Beast Boy took a few slow steps back, and then took off.
Finally alone, Raven looked at Robin, who was looking nice himself. But she tore her eyes away from his looks. "We need to talk... big time," He said to her first. "Yeah," She said simply. He began to walk, and Raven followed him, wondering if this was the end to their friendship, or perhaps a new beginning.

Was that a long chapter. It felt long when I wrote it. As you can see, problems a many. I hate to do this, especially after the start, but could anyone who reads this go read my other stories, and review. If you're interested in their descriptions. There's only one. It's a sort of Action/Romance dealy. I haven't gotten many reviews on it, which is driving me insane and is also the only reason that I'm asking you to read it. Ugh. Well anywho, I hope you enjoyed the chapter, probably won't update for a couple of days. Got a lot of stuff to do this weekend. Review please.
Next Chapter: Raven and Robin decide to sit and talk like civilized people. Slowly but surely, they begin to relax. But what will they decide to do about their relationship?
Read and Review stuff please.
