Tawny-Thanks for the suggestion, I'm sorry but I don't think I'll be using it in this one but I will find it a place in one of my future stories, I hope that's okay.
First Snow Fall
Raven walked further away from the tower, draining herself in thoughts. Finding a nice shaded spot, Raven sat down on the snow and began to meditate. Her thoughts occasionally fell upon Robin.
'This is ridiculous,' thought Raven as she tried to sort her thoughts out. She knew once something interrupted her mediation she had to sort it out before she could actually continue in peace. 'I cannot possibly be thinking of Robin this much. Surely I am not self-consciously implying that I have a crush on the guy.' Upon those last thoughts her concentration had broke and she landed on the cold ground.
Her eyes shot open as her heart raced. Not even wanting to admit the high chances of it being true, Raven rose from the ground and decided to head back to the tower. She knew the others had gone back inside an hour ago. In no rush to return Raven decided to walk back instead of flying.
It didn't take her long before she stepped back inside. The heat was highly appreciated as a small smile appeared on Raven's face. She hadn't realized how cold she was until she was back in the tower. Deciding to change out of her clothes Raven stepped into the elevator. Reaching her destination Raven stepped out hearing her friends laughing from the living room. Deciding to check up on them first, Raven made her way to the living room.
"Hey," Raven greeted, as she stepped in the living room. Robin was standing at the entrance as well and greeted her with a smile.
"Oh Raven! There you are! We were about to call you for the dressing of the tree," smiled Starfire from the couch.
Raven stared at her a bit confused. "She means we're going to decorate the tree," smirked Beastboy as he opened a box full of decorations.
"But first," Cyborg interrupted as looked at both Robin and Raven.
"What?" Raven asked as she stared at him.
"Oh that's rich," laughed Beastboy as he looked at his two friends.
"What is expensive?" questioned Starfire as she looked at Beastboy a bit confused.
Before Raven could ask again, Robin interrupted her, "Um Raven."
Raven pulled her gaze away from her three friends to look at Robin. He pointed above them and as she followed his gaze upward. It hit her.
"Isn't that the kissing plant you Earthlings call--mistletoe?" asked Starfire who too followed Robin's pointing.
"That's right, Star. When a guy and a girl stand under one, they're suppose to kiss," explained Cyborg with a smug look on his face.
"So lets see some action!" Beastboy commented as he clapped his hands together.
Raven froze as she stared at Robin. She hadn't kissed anyone before and now she was suppose to kiss Robin, of all people the one guy she might just have feelings for and in front of her friends. The thought was a bit overwhelming as she watched Robin flash her one his smiles. 'Not helping!' she heard her mind yell.
"Watcha say, Raven? 'Tis the season," Robin smiled, seeing the nervousness in her eyes. He rarely saw her nervous and he was beginning to like it when he was able to make her feel like that.
Just as their lips were about to touch Raven pulled away. "In your dreams Boy Wonder," Raven teasingly smiled, regaining courage. "I'm going to change." She walked off ignoring Cyborg and Beastboy complaints and let out a sigh of relief as she shut her bedroom door behind her.
She ignored the part of her that ached. Not wanting to admit that she wanted her first kiss to be with Robin, even if it was over a stupid Christmas tradition. Watching her cloak to fall to the ground Raven let out another sigh. Than again it wouldn't be worth the pain when it came down to real feelings, because she knew in the end it would have just been a meaningless kiss to him. The thought sent a wave of sadness through her and she froze. 'When did I all of a sudden care about how Robin feels about me?'

Robin watched Raven disappear into her bedroom. For a brief second he was hurt. It was than that he realized he was really looking forward to kissing Raven. Yet, a smile played on his face as he thought of how nervous she looked and the smile she gave him before walking away. He was definitely determined to get back on her.

Raven lay curled up in the armchair, watching her friends decorate the Christmas tree. By the look of things they seemed to make the job look a lot harder than necessary. She pushed thoughts of Robin behind her before she had stepped out of the room. Mediation and hiding emotions can do that, if she wanted it too.
"You could help us, you know" Beastboy replied as he stared at Raven gaining her attention.
Using her powers Raven levitated a bunch of tinsel and had it fall evenly on the tree. Unraveling the lights that tangled Starfire, she mentally wrapped it around the tree.
"Nice," commented Cyborg as she finished.
"Very nice," smirked Robin as he stared at the tree. "Now all we have to do is put the angel on the top."
"Raven, since you had not decorated as much as the rest of us, why don't you put it on?" suggested Starfire as she smiled sweetly at her friend.
"Uh-okay," answered Raven, since Starfire had already placed the angel in her hands.
"And while you do that. We shall get some hot chocolate to drink by the place of fire," beamed Starfire as she headed off to the kitchen.
"Mm, hot chocolate," repeated Beastboy as if he was in trance, following Starfire.
"Uh, I'll go make sure Starfire doesn't make the hot chocolate," smiled Cyborg as he left, but not before he nudged Robin causing the shorter boy to glare at him.
Relieved that Raven hadn't seen the looks exchanged between him and Cyborg, Robin watched as Raven began to levitate the angel. "You're going to place the last ornament with your powers?" questioned Robin as Raven turned to look at him.
"What do you expect me to fly instead?" asked Raven as she allowed the angel to fall in her hands. The tree was practically twice her height. She stared at him once again with the same platonic feelings she had for him before.
"Actually I was thinking something like this," smirked Robin and before Raven could figure out what he had in mind she was already sitting on his shoulders.
"Robin if you drop me," warned Raven, she knew he wouldn't but she hated how he caught her off guard. But that was Robin always full of surprises to try and make her smile, but in this case nearly scare her. Her attention distracted from her thoughts as she felt Robin place his hands on her legs.
"We go out in battle practically every day trusting one another with our lives and you're worried I'm going to drop you?" teased Robin as he walked toward the Christmas tree a bit surprised that she was so light.
"Just hurry up," Raven responded as he continued to walk, but just to toy with her he walked even slower. He received a small hit on the head for his actions.
"Ow," complained Robin, as he rubbed the spot where she hit him. "I could have easily dropped you."
"You wouldn't drop me or let me fall even if I wanted to," Raven pointed out, knowing she was right as she self-consciously ruffled his hair. Robin simply smiled at her words and actions. Stopping right beside the tree, Robin waited patiently for Raven to put the tree top piece on. "Can't you get any closer?"
"Any closer and I'll be apart of the tree," Robin said as he looked up to see Raven lean toward the tree. "Don't fall."
"That's your problem not mine," muttered Raven as she continued to lean forward.
"What? Dropping is my problem, falling is yo--," started Robin, feeling a bit uneasy at the thought of Raven falling.
"Got it!" smiled Raven as she quickly leaned back loosing her balance. She quickly shut her eyes totally forgetting she could easily fly, waiting for the hard impact that didn't come. Instead she found herself in Robin's arms, her arms tightly wrapped around his neck.
"Don't tell me you almost thought I was going to let you fall," grinned Robin as watched Raven opened her eyes, her arms still around him. His words were so sincere and serious she didn't know what to say.
But before Raven could even think of a single word to say they heard Starfire scream out of disgust. "Looks like Starfire tried her own hot chocolate," smiled Raven, as two let out a short laugh.
