The First Snow Fall
Raven let out another laugh as she tried her best to block her face from Beastboy. "Beastboy, stop it" she managed to say. Turning her face to the side, Raven felt the green husky's tongue lick her cheek. Her eyes opened to see Robin talking to Starfire. His gaze soon turned away from the redheaded girl and onto her. Their eyes locked for a few seconds as he looked down at her with an expression that puzzled her. She never saw him look at her that way. 'What is he thinking?' thought Raven, but her thoughts were soon interrupted by Beastboy's tongue. "Beastboy stop" Raven repeated as she felt another lick on her neck this time. Taking the hint that he wasn't going to stop any time soon, softly chanting Raven lifted Beastboy with her powers.
"Hey!" Beastboy cried out as he turned back. He floated about five feet above the ground. He glanced down at Raven to see her standing up to brush off the snow on her clothes. "Uh-Raven. You could-you know-let me down!"
Raven smirked as she looked up at Beastboy, "I told you to stop."
"Heh, well you know me. Full of games," Beastboy nervously laughed, feeling really uncomfortable about being air bound. "Come on Raven. Please!"
"Very well," Raven said as she turned around and with a wave of her hand Beastboy fell.
"Ah!" yelled Beastboy as he fell from the sky and onto the snow.

"And this is the snowma--snowgirl I made just for Raven," Starfire replied as she pointed to her creations. "Robin?" She looked over to the dark haired boy to see him staring at their two friends.
"Hm?" Robin answered as he pulled his gaze away from Raven and Beastboy, the feeling still lingering inside of him. He glanced over to Starfire who had a slight confuse look on her face. "They look great. Are you planning to make one for the rest of us?" Giving her a smile.
"Oh, that is an idea! I shall start now," grinned Starfire as she quickly gathered more snow. "Raven, I see you and Beastboy are done playing." Starfire paused from rolling up snow to look at Raven who had just appeared before the two.
Robin glanced beside him, a bit surprised to see Raven standing next to him. The purple hair girl looked once again calm a bit flushed from all the laughing, but nonetheless collected.
"If that is what you wish to call it," Raven replied, her gaze leaving Starfire to look at Robin. He was already looking at her when her eyes fell on him. Once again he held an expression that she couldn't read. His gaze made her feel rather uncomfortable and she lowered her head to avoid his eyes.
"That hurt you know, Raven," Beastboy commented as he walked between Robin and Raven, to look at the hooded girl. His words broke through her thoughts.
"Your problem, not mine," she answered as she turned away from the green boy. She knew Beastboy was only messing with her; his fall had caused him no major harm.
"Your problem, not mine," mocked Beastboy as he stuck tongue at her back.
Before Raven could respond, Cyborg's voice interrupted. "Hey guys!!" yelled Cyborg, who stood a couple of yards away. "The hills look great! Come on! It's sledding time baby!!" With those words, Cyborg hopped on his sled and disappeared down the hill.
"Come on Starfire, let's go!" Beastboy smiled out of excitement as he grabbed Starfire's hand, pulling her up from the ground. He already had his fun with Raven and pulling her to go sledding would be asking for trouble. Trouble he was slightly already in.
"But Beastboy. I must finish the snowmen of Cyborg, Robin, and you," Starfire replied as she did her best to resist.
"You can finish it later. Come on. You're going to love sledding!" Beastboy grinned as he continued to pull the girl towards the hills.
"Alright," agreed Starfire, losing herself in Beastboy's excitement.
With that the two raced off to join Cyborg down the hill, way too excited in Raven's opinion. Watching the two disappear the same way Cyborg had, she realized she was left alone with Robin.
"What do you say Raven? Care to go sledding?" Robin asked as he flashed her one of his smiles. She stared at him a bit confused, a minute ago he seemed completely out of it and now he was what she would call his regular self.
"You're joking right?" Raven heard herself say. It was a bad habit of hers, constantly putting these fronts on having fun.
"No, actually I'm dead serious," smirked Robin as he stepped towards her. "What Beastboy drained all of the fun out of you?"
His comment caught her completely off guard, yet she still managed to respond. "Fun? Is that what it looked like?" Her tone hinting to him that she didn't consider it enjoyable.
"You were laughing. You--I never heard you laugh, well not like that," Robin replied his voice growing softer and his gaze now on the ground.
Raven gazed at her leader confused even more. 'Why does he seem hurt about what he just said?' Raven silently asked herself. "Just because I was laughing doesn't mean I was having fun," Raven spoke up, hating the awkward silence.
"But-" Robin said as he looked up at her.
'Why is he acting like this?' thought Raven. "So I'm ticklish on my neck and sides," shrugged Raven as she pulled her gaze away from Robin. A part of her was lying, she did some what enjoy herself with Beastboy but for some reason telling Robin didn't seem like a good idea at the time. "Tell the others, especially Beastboy and I'll kill you."
Robin watched as her gaze turned into a cold stare. "I won't," Robin said as he let out a short laugh. "So, how about taking me up on the sledding offer?"
"Why are you so persistent that I go sledding with you?" asked Raven, as she curiously looked at him. Growing restless on just standing, she began to walk in no particular direction.
"Because I want you to have fun," shrugged Robin a bit unsure on the exact reason. He watched as she turned around to look at him and in returned he smiled.
"If you insist," sighed Raven as she turned back around and continued to walk. Robin paused for a brief second a bit surprised that she had said 'yes' so quickly.
"I promise you'll have fun," smiled Robin as he caught up with her.
"And exactly how are you going to promise me that?" questioned Raven as she gazed at him, lifting an eyebrow. Robin fell silent, not quite sure how to answer her question. Before he could answer Raven interrupted him. "What a pity. One sled. Guess you have to go alone."
Robin blinked out of his thoughts and looked to the ground to see they were already at the edge of the hill. At his feet was a sled, the sight made him smile. "What are you talking about? You're coming with me." With those words Robin grabbed Raven from behind and pulled her down on the sled.
"Mmph," Raven voiced as she landed on the sled. Opening her eyes, Raven found herself at the front of the sled. Her legs were still off to the side and before she could even look for Robin she felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist and pulled her back. Raven felt her cheeks grow warm, realizing she was sitting between Robin's legs.
"Okay, now legs on the sled," Robin spoke up, as he leaned forward. Raven only did as she was told, still trying to regain her composer. She lifted her legs. With her arms she wrapped her arms around them. "No, hands on the reins," Robin replied as he leaned against Raven grabbing the reins in front of her and placing them in her hands. "Okay, you ready?" Raven simply nodded her head. "Quiet aren't we?"
"Shut up," Raven quickly muttered causing Robin to laugh.
"Don't worry, I promised you a fun time right?" replied Robin as he smiled, a bit disappointed that her hood covered her face.
"Yes, but you have yet to do so," Raven answered, gaining her composer and feeling a little more comfortable. "You weren't even able to answer my question earlier."
"That's because you interrupted me," Robin pointed out, kind of liking Raven being this close to him.
"By all means continue," Raven dryly responded as she gave him a quick glance.
"By making sure you have the time of your life AND by making you laugh of course," smiled Robin as he leaned forward, placing his hands over Raven's so that he could hold on to the reins as well. Before he pushed them off, he nuzzled his face against the side of her neck.
Raven felt herself blush as she felt Robin nuzzle her. She felt a chill run through her body, even though she could very well feel the heat from Robin's body. 'What is he doing?' thought Raven. "Robin stop it!" hissed Raven trying her best not to laugh at the feeling.
"Whatever you say--night-angel," smirked quietly Robin as he pushed them off and down they went.
Raven's eyes shot open as they slid off the edge. She tightly shut her mouth to stop the slight scream of surprise that was about to come. The speed caused her to lean back against Robin. "That was not funny, Robin!" she yelled as the wind blew pass them.
"My intentions were not to be funny. It was merely to surprise you!" laughed Robin as they flew down the hill. "Come on. Let's have some REAL fun!" With those words Robin rested his head on Raven's shoulder. Getting a good grip of the reins, Robin used it to move the sled left to right.
Raven closed her eyes as the rode against the wind. She loved the feeling of going fast and Robin knew it. He knew she loved the excitement of speed, the swerving left to right, the small mounds of snow that caused the sled to fly off the ground for a few seconds; it was the rush that she enjoyed.
Her hood eventually flew off, exposing the smile on her face. Robin smiled, catching the enjoyment on her face from the corner of his eyes. Seeing a mound of snow, Robin quickly turned left just catching the mound sending them airborne for a five seconds. They landed hard on the ground almost making them fall off causing Raven to laugh. Her voice caught Robin's attention as he looked at her. She was laughing. For the rest of the ride Raven smiled out of pure joy.
Aiming for the frozen pond, Robin sent the sled spinning on the ice making Robin laugh as he watch Raven shut her eyes. Hitting the edge the sled caught on the snow causing Robin and Raven to fly into the snow. Robin let out a big sigh as he lay on his back, staring at the sky. He could hear Raven's laughs dying down. Rolling over, Robin stood up. Making his way toward Raven, Robin stopped besides her and looked down at her with a smile. "So, did I keep my promise?"
"I must admit Robin. I did have fun," smiled Raven as she looked up at him.
"Up for another ride?" smirked Robin, still gazing at her. She was flushed from all the laughing and looked a bit out of breath.
"That's okay," declined Raven, deciding to have a little down time and some mediation like she originally planned. She watched as he slightly frowned. "Why don't you ask Starfire? I'm sure she would love to go sledding with you?"
"Yah, maybe," sighed Robin as he turned away to grab the sled.
Raven sat up in curiosity. "Robin?"
"Yeah?" he asked not bothering to turn around as he pulled the sled out of the snow.
"Why is sledding with me so different from sledding with Starfire?" Raven questioned as she stared at the back of his head.
Robin pulled out the sled and turned around to look at Raven. "Because we enjoy different things. She likes just going straight down the hill, that's excitement enough for her. I like going fast, the constant swerving, the jumps; I like the rush it gives. Just like you," Robin pointed out as he looked at her. "Besides it's you." With those words Robin walked off as Raven simply sat there as she watched him before she fell back into the snow.
+ + +
Robin smiled as he found himself once again spinning on the ice. It wasn't as nearly as fun as the first time with Raven, more so because it was exciting for him to see her smile and enjoy the rush. His thoughts were interrupted as he crashed into the snow once again, this time he didn't fly off the sled. Standing up Robin gazed down to the spot where Raven was laying before he left. There by his surprise was snow angel and written in the snow was a message "Robin, thanks for the fun. Here's the snow angel you suggested me to make. I suppose it was slightly enjoyable. Your Night- Angel, Raven." Robin blushed at the closing, he didn't think he heard her call her that but the thought slowly left his mind as he smiled at the best gift he would ever possibly receive this Christmas.
