Annoyed Acquaintances, Unknown Lovers

By: Wrenna

big A/N:

This chapter is short, cuz I want to get some notes in. For the last chapter, the naughty Im. I got the C-Ring thing from watching that Graham Norton show, Alan Cummings was on talking about how he wore a C-ring under his kilt to the X2 Premiere, and for some reason that popped into my head when i was writing.

The trash bag and clogs comes from an old friend who used to tell guys that when they asked what she was wearing.

also the next few chapters will be focusing more on the dual relationships of Robin and Raven, i haven't paid enough attention to it, considering it's what he story is about. Also the party coming up on later chapters, will have some twists and turns, it will also be were the big reveal happens.

much angst then, and also in this chapter.

I have a feeling this story is going to be long, i can easily make it 30 chapters, i just have so much running in my head to write for it, maybe I'll make a sequel..or just make it 30 chapters..

i also did some fan art of raven for this story, ones a sketch, the other is it in color, i like the sketch more, but wanted to give everyone an idea to the outfit she were to school, that got robin flustered.

the links are in my Bio.

I'll work on some Robin ones later...can't decide between putting him in a speedo..or a C-Ring...decisions decisions.

Uh, one of the reasons why they have been fighting alot, other then being from different crowds, is because they have a psychical attraction. two teens, unrelated, living together, who are both hot, who wouldn't really.

but i figured since the online stuff covers their emotional sides, then this would cover the psychical side. and makes them perfect for each other.heh.

(is sleeping while typing this...... heh)

anyways...enjoy....

Chapter Six

The morning came too soon. It seemed she had just laid down and closed her eyes. A small groan echoed in the bedroom. A rustling of sheets followed. A light sound of ' plop' was made as she flipped her body unto it's stomach and buried her face into the pillow. ' Ugh, to be a vampire! Get to sleep all day...' She squeezed her eyelids tightly, wishing sleep to return. Minutes ticked away. But sleep did not present itself. Oh no.

Other plans and images skittered around the recesses of her mind. Mainly bits and pieces of her dream. A mysterious man. A 'Robin'-style mask. A Ring for naughty bits.

Raven dug her face deeper into the pillow. A small case of giggles took over her body at the images. Her face slowly turning pink. Calming herself with a few deep breathes, Raven decided to face the day. It was going to be a good one. A certain inhabitant of the house was going to receive a bit of punishment.

Not that he had harmed her Pets. He was gentle with them, she had to admit. But just the fact, the nerve, that he entered her room. Her sanctuary. Then to remove something so precious from it. Meant he had to pay! And pay he would.

Crossing the room, she stopped in front of a small table. Sat on top of it was a plastic bad. She fingered it for a second. A grin on her lips. Inside held all she needed to get back at Gar. She just had to wait for the perfect time.

Her fingered slipped through her hair. Smoothing out tangles and wild stands. She turned on her heels, and stalked out of her bedroom. It was late in the morning, a weekend. Walking through the short hall of the basement to the stairs. She descended. Not caring she was still in her pj's. Screw Gar and Robin, if they had a problem.

'Damn boys!'

"Do you remember that one game, when Gar got his ass kicked by the visiting teams Mascot?" Victor's deep voice laughed out the question to his buddies.

Gar sat at the counter, scowling at his friend. That event was just as well known as the rocking humping. Boy did he wish everyone would forget about it. But why would they. Not everyday someone gets beat up by a five foot squirrel dressed in a sailor outfit. Gar crossed his arms and grumbled at the counter top.

Sitting at the table with Victor, were two other boys. Robin being one of them. He punched Victor playfully in the arm, joining in on the laughter. To his right, sat another boy. Also laughing, but not as openly as the others.

From across the kitchen, the basement door opened slowly. The being behind it in no rush. As it cracked further open, a pair of blue-purple eyes peeked out at the scene. Four males sat around the kitchen. Three of them laughing, one pouting. She shook her head and opened the door all the way. Her eyes look over the room's occupants more closely.

Victor was leaning back in his chair, Gar was slumped over the counter. Robin sat to Victor's right, his arms rested on the table top, fiddling with a bag of chips. To his right, sat another boy. One she never seen before.

Slowly her head tilted, her eyes squinted. No one had noticed her yet, not that she cared. Much. They were still laughing about something. Her eyes remained on the new being. She blinked. And blinked again. A perfectly groomed eyebrow raised. With her mouth no longer able to contain the question running through her mind, she stepped further into the kitchen. She lifted a small delicate hand and pointed her index finger out.

"What is that?"

Four startled gasps answered her. Followed by four pairs of eyes, raised brows, and dying laughter.

"What?" One of them said. Which one she didn't know. Her eyes darted off the new boy to land on Robin. From Robin they went back to the mystery boy. Her eyes wouldn't stop. The sight before her was too weird.

"What's wrong Dark girl?" Victor asked, pulling her out of her daze slightly.

"Uh." Was all she could manage as her eyes absorbed the details. The black spiky hair. The shades. The cocky grin. Almost the same outfit. Red t-shirt, with black, green and yellow strips going down one side. Both sitting in the same position. The only difference was the age, and that the other boy looked more..goofy. This wasn't normal. 'Twilight Zone! I've woken up in the twilight zone!' Her mind squealed.

"Hello!" A hand waved in front of Raven's face. " Anyone there?" She lifted her own hand and swatted it away and then cleared her throat. Again she pointed.

"What is that!"

Everyone followed the direction her finger was pointed. Their eyes landed on the fourth boy. Robin raised his brow and looked back at Raven.

"Larry."

The said boy smiled up at the goth girl. Only to be returned with a blink. He shrugged his shoulders and waved at her. "Hey!"

"Larry?" She asked slowly. Everyone nodded a 'Yes' at her. " Are you sure it isn't a science project?" Gar had to stifle a laugh at her question

Said science project dropped his head slightly. His smile fading. Robin reached over and gave a friendly pat on his shoulder.

"Don't listen to her." He turned back to the Raven, glaring from behind his shades. His voice low with boiling anger. "No he isn't a science project, but one could ask the same of you." Silently he added 'Bitch'.

Raven crossed her arms over her chest. Her head lowered a few inches as she glared at him. 'Annoying jackass!' Outwardly, she replied with. "Fuck off."

He only shrugged. Next to him, Larry took on the same pose, but openly glared at the girl. Victor shook his head and sighed. Gar, sitting behind where Raven stood, leaned over to the left. He looked at Robin, lifted his thumb to his throat in a slashing motion, then pointed at Robin with a grin. Again, Robin only shrugged. Raven continued to glare, Robin glared back. Though no one knew, really.

Victor leaned forward. "Larry here is a Sophomore, he entered the mentoring program, and Robin is his mentor." He said easily, looking at Raven the whole time. She glance at him slightly and nodded. Her gaze landed on Larry.

"How lucky for you." Came her dull reply.

With one last glare at Robin, she turned and left the kitchen.

Once she was out of earshot, Robin turned to Gar. His fists slightly clenching in his lap beneath the table.

"I can understand now why you guys don't get along."

Gar only shrugged.

Raven flopped down into the plushy couch. She snuggled deeply into it. Remote in hand, she turned the t.v. and flipped through the channels. ' Maybe I shouldn't have been so mean? Kids in the mentoring program are there for a reason.' She sighed and flipped through another channel. ' But I didn't know that, now did I. Stupid mouth.' She snuggled deeper into the cushions. Tossing a small blanket over herself, she stared at the t.v. blankly. ' Should I go apologize? Hmm. To Larry anyways. Robin can go to hell.' Her lips kicked down into a frown. ' But I would have to be near Robin to talk to Larry, and I'm NOT apologizing in front of that lug!'

She flipped over onto her side. Only to have the remote, held in her out-stretched hand, be pulled out of her grasp roughly. She sat up, brows furrowed. "Hey!"

Robin stood in front of the t.v. looking down at her. "Go apologize." He said sternly. Tossing the remote onto the coffee table. Raven only blinked at him. ' Does he read minds now, jeez.'

"Go. Apologize." He said slowly.

Raven crossed her arms. She wouldn't submit to him, even if what he said was the right thing to do. "You're in my way. Move."

He glanced back at the t.v., then quickly turned it off. "Not anymore."

She glared. " Annoying bastard." She hissed at him.

"Freaky goth."

"Insufferable jock!"

" Moody bitch!"

"You asshole!"

She gasped at him. Her hands twisted in the blanket. He crossed his arms and smirked at her.

"Frigid prude." He cooed out softly.

Raven narrowed her eyes and jumped up from the couch. With a growl, she picked up a small cushion and threw it at his head. It made contact. She gritted her teeth and stomped out of the room in search of her room. She stalked through the kitchen, ignoring the inhabitants. Angrily she made it down into her bedroom, slamming the door behind her. She paced the room, cursing at the man upstairs.

Moving to her bed, she lifted a pillow, buried her head into it, and screamed. Once she was calmed, she dressed quickly and left the basement.

Back in the kitchen, the others stared at Robin, who sat tensely at the table. Their gazes shot to a door as Raven stalked out of the basement. Without stopping, she walked out of the kitchen. She stopped in the hall, groaned, and turned around.

Again eyes were on her as she stood in the kitchen doorway.

"Look Larry, I'm sorry for what I said, I didn't know you were in the program." She sighed and kept her eyes on the boy.

"It's ok. Thanks though." He smiled shyly at her.

Raven gave him a small nod. Then left the house.

Back at the table, Robin ducked his head to hide the smile that crept along his lips.
