CHAPTER 8

The Kiss

Raven was mediating on the roof that evening. The sky was splattered with blood red and darker colors like violet and a beautiful dark blue. The red sunlight splashed the roof giving it a slight redish glow; it also splashed across Raven's pale face illuminating it.

"Hello...Raven?" Raven opened her eyes and slightly turned her head. Standing beside her was Robin. A redish glow was illuminating him also, giving Robin also a dreamlike look about him.

Raven gently lowered herself and stood up facing Robin, "Yes?" she asked. He's probably came to pester me more about the scrying thing.

"Look," Robin said avoiding Raven's eyes as her rubbed the back of his neck, "I respect that you have a life outside the tower," Robin's arm dropped down to his side and finally looked at Raven, "But, I know something is troubling you. You have bags around our eyes like you haven't slept properly in a long time. And I know something really disturbed you at the store."

Raven looked down a sad expression crossed her face, "Look...I know I've been...it's just..." Raven fumbled with words trying her hardest not to look at Robin's face that was filled with deepest concern. "Rae," he said placing a hand on her shoulder, "I'm not your enemy. And I'm not just the leader. I'm your friend, you can tell me anything,"

Raven looked up at Robin's face. Her eyes widened as if in shock, he looked so sincere and understanding. Goosebumps shot down Raven's arm as she noticed Robin's hand on her shoulder. A warm tingling feeling shot through her insides and she began to blush.

She really hoped that the last dying red sunlight covered her face so it didn't look like she was blushing. Raven took a deep breath and said looking at Robin, "I'm not trying to hide anything from you now okay? But, you wouldn't understand what I'm going through right now. Okay?"

Robin's face dropped just an inch but Raven noticed a change to the aura around him.

"Okay...I see..." Robin's face changed slightly also as if he was trying to suppress a grin, "I'm sure whatever it is, it's very important."

Robin put a strange emphasis on the word 'very', almost as if he was joking. Raven raised an eyebrow, "What's that supposed to mean?" she asked almost in a playful voice.

"Well...not telling me whatever it is must mean its pretty special,"

"So, you put yourself higher than the other titans?" Raven asked with a sly grin.

"Well..." Robin flexed his arm grinning at Raven.

I can she is starting to warm up to me, her smile is so beautiful...

Raven grinned at Robin's attempts, "I see..." She ran a cool pale finger down Robin's arm.

He's just so...different tonight. He almost seems like a different person, yet he looks the same. Raven's grin slowly expanded into a full smile. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with his mind. Raven found herself staring into his mask; I wonder what color his eyes are? She found herself thinking mindlessly, I wonder what's his story...like I mean how he met Batman...

Before Raven knew what she was doing, she had closed her eyes and was leaning in towards Robin. Robin's eyelids naturally slid shut as he leaned closer to Raven's beautiful pale face.

His gloved hand made its way around her thin waist as their lips touched. A warm sensation flowed through Raven's body. Incredible feelings flowed through her body, the one thing that she wanted...no desired to do for months was finally happening.

Random objects on the tower's roof were exploding almost like fireworks. It was all too perfect: her long time crush was kissing her on the roof top. Sunset in the background... only one thing that wasn't perfect:

Starfire...Robin eyes widened suddenly as he pulled quickly away from Raven. "I...uh...got to go!" He said running away from the gothic girl.

Raven stood there alone on the roof once more as Robin sprinted for the staircase. Raven stood as the cool evening air blew, rustling her cap and short violet hair.

Did that really just happen? Raven's knees went weak and rubbery and a blush crossed her pale cheeks and she grinned like an idiot. Why did he run off so fast?

Starfire...Raven's eyes shot open and her back went as straight as a board. She ran an ice cool hand through her hair as she sucked in the cool Feduary air. Shit.

K, I know what your thinking: It took 3 stories to get Robin and Raven to kiss! Is this Rae/Rob fic slow moving or what? I know, oh well whatchya gonna do? ::sticks out tounge::
