Figures. The longest author's note I've ever written was all about the reviews on this story before it got deleted. I would like to thank anyone and everyone who reviewed. Thanks to the new ones, thanks to the old ones. Raven's man, no I have not forgotten you. You and Tawreh are on of the people who have stuck around on my stories, so how exactly could I forget? I'm only updating once today, since it is the last chapter before I actually have to write again. It will probably be posted tomorrow, as I gave some prior things to attend to. I am rather glad to be getting back to writing though, my favorite thing to do. Read on and enjoy. Note: If anyone besides me ever talks to Jncera via email or other ways, does anyone know what happened to her? I love those stories and she hasn't updated in weeks. Whatever... I hope this catches you, Grumbumble. Thanks for continuing to review my story. You're awesome. I hope "Rite Of Passage" gets updated soon.

I do not own Teen Titans.

Chapter 7: Lovebirds

Robin's View

He stood still after a short walk, staring at Raven, unsure of whether he should talk first or not. "We should go to a more secluded place," He said after an awkward silence. Raven nodded sadly and floated up, landing on the roof of a rather tall building. Robin stared up at. "Little help?" He called after her. Raven came floating back down, grabbing on to his hand. Her skin was extremely smooth, and felt a little cold. It seemed last forever, but they finally landed.

"Thanks," He muttered. Raven nodded, sitting down cross legged and floating in the air, as if she was doing her meditation. Robin sat the same way in front of her. "So..." He said slowly. He debated what to say. Sorry seemed like a good one. Sorry for hurting her, sorry for getting with Starfire, sorry for trying to make her jealous. There was a lot to apologize about, and Robin wasn't exactly sure where to begin now.

"I'm sorry". It was not him who spoke, but Raven. He looked up at her, shocked. He had never expected her to say that. Robin was surprised to see her looking sad. "Why?" He asked her, confused. "I don't know..." She said, not looking him in the eye now. He didn't understand it. How could you be sorry and not know why? Unless... "You can tell me," He tried. She looked up at him.

"I'm sorry that this happened. It shouldn't have. I've liked you for a while, but was never able to see it. When I finally did though, it seemed to good to be true that you liked me back. I just couldn't believe that you actually wanted me. I mean look at me," Raven said. She lifted her arms, as if showing him her pale skin. Robin stared at her. "What's that supposed to mean?" He asked her. "Well... I'm nothing compared to Starfire," She said. Robin moved towards her a bit. "Yes you are. Starfire... she is good looking. But you, you're beautiful," He said.

He moved back slightly, feeling a little too close. She looked up at him. "Really? Do you actually think that?" Raven asked him. Robin didn't even dare hesitate. "I always have," He answered. She smiled at him, causing Robin to feel better. They once again sat in silence. But something was bugging him. "How-" "Did me and Beast Boy get together?" She finished for him. Robin nodded. "Read my mind," He said. "Answer something for me first," Raven said. "How did Starfire and I get together?" He guessed. Now Raven nodded.

"Well, after you threw me out, I ran into her. Starfire has always shown an interest in me, and I've always had one in her. I was depressed, confused, angry... I didn't know what to do. She helped me out a little, and in the end, we kissed. I felt like I needed someone, even if it wasn't you. But after our next talk, I regretted it," Robin said it all quickly. Raven stared at him, then let out a deep slowly.

"Well after that talk. I was pretty mad. I came to your room to apologize, and maybe get together with you. But you were with Starfire, and it made me sad. I ran into Beast Boy, who offered to help me. A lot like you and Starfire, I've always liked Beast Boy. The fact that you were with Starfire, and that Beast Boy liked me, sort of got me to kiss him," She said in a heartbeat. "But why?" Robin asked her. "I just... I didn't feel as if anyone liked me, but he made me feel liked, even loved," Raven answered, blushing slightly.

Robin's anger had gone away. It was all one big mistake. They both regretted what they had done, and that was enough for him. Something was still bothering him though, "Why'd you try and make me jealous?" He asked her. Raven looked uneasy, but still answered. "I was so mad at you. I cried Robin. I hadn't cried in years, and you made me do it. I didn't even really want to make you jealous, it sort of just happened," She said. "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't trying to, but I do regret it," Robin said. "I understand," Raven said, smiling weakly. Things were getting better.

"Actually, you want to know something?" Raven asked him. "Oh no, what now?" He said jokingly. "Well... It's kind of weird. While I was kissing Beast Boy in front of you, I didn't think about him. I was only thinking of you," Raven said. "Same here!" Robin said surprised, referring to Starfire. They both went silent then. Robin had jumped up, and was right in Raven's face. He coughed to the side, then backed up quickly.

"Yeah. Listen Raven, I really am sorry and hope we can still be friends," He said. "Why not more?" Raven asked quickly. Robin stared up at her. He never thought they could be, not now... "But we're both with someone. Well maybe not for long," Robin said, muttering the last part. "I know we are it's just... I've never felt this close to you, and I don't want to lose it," Raven said. He stared at her. He had never heard Raven speak of her feelings like this. Robin looked down, and noticed the goose bumps on her arms.

"Take this," Robin said, taking off his black jacket. Raven set herself onto the ground, and Robin draped the jacket around her. "Thanks," She said. Robin smiled at her. "No problem," He said and froze. They were once again extremely close, he was right in her face. Her bright purple eyes shined brightly in front of him, mesmerizing him. Then he felt a hand on his face. Looking down, he saw that Raven had raised her arm and began to touch his face.

"Um..." He said. "Shh..." Raven said. She closed her eyes, her fingers lightly touching him. Robin felt extremely awkward, but in a good way, as she traced his lips with her fingertips. Raven opened her eyes in front of him. "Could you do that?" She whispered. He nodded, and nervously brought up his hand. Bending his fingers, he lightly caressed her cheek. Robin watched as Raven once again closed her eyes, letting out a small breath as she did. He smiled.

Robin sat up more, and Raven did the same, kneeling so she met his height. Neither of them knew what was going on really. Beast Boy and Starfire weren't anywhere in their minds. The two of them sat there, lightly touching each others faces. To them, they were the only ones there. The only thing that mattered at that moment was each other, all past angers forgotten.

They both held their eyes open. The clouds moved aside, allowing the full moon to be free. It lit up the roof they were on, and it shined brightly over Raven's pale skin. The two of them stopped touching, Robin's hand brushing through Raven's soft hair gently as she moved forward. He inched his way towards her as well, then closed his eyes. Raven pulled him forward, and their lips met. It was a light kiss, only lasting a moment, but as Robin backed away he knew it. It was the perfect kiss.

He brought his hand up to his lips, and felt them. They were warm, and a little wet from the kiss. Raven was watching him, looking happy. Robin put his hand around her, and pulled her into a light hug. "I'm sorry that I ever let any of this happen," He said sincerely. "Me too," Raven said, her grip tightening on Robin. He ran his hand through her hair, wishing that the night could last forever.

Raven broke away from him, and Robin kissed her on the cheek as she passed. She grabbed onto his hand, squeezing it. "Robin..." She said, sounding nervous. "What?" He said. Surely she couldn't have more bad news. "I- I think I love you," She said with difficulty. Robin smiled, and pulled her into another tight hug. "That's good, because I know that I love you," He said. Her head on his shoulder, Raven smiled widely. Neither of them knew whether it would last or not. But they would always have that night, whether they were together or not.

There. Much shorter because the chapter before seemed to last forever. That and I gotta go to play some poker so I didn't want to make it so long. Did that show you anything? Just to clarify, neither of them truly want to be with their current boyfriend/girlfriend. It was a mistake, that's all. They were thinking about each other the entire time really. So I'm off I guess. My other story will be updated either today or early morning tomorrow, so look for it if you wish. Review, make it as bad as you like. But please email me if you've got an ungodly long review. I'd be happy to reply to it.

Next Chapter: Raven wakes up, unsure if she should have done what she did. Suddenly, she realizes that it may have been a mistake. How will Beast Boy, and Starfire, take the news?

Keep on reading...
