January

"I... I... I don't..." His voice wavered. He turned his gaze back to her. "I don't like to share. And I'm not about to start sharing with a fish-boy."

Raven's mouth opened and closed as her brain fought to grasp what he had said. Red X's arm wrapped around her midriff as he pulled her closer to him. He shifted their possessions so that he was restraining her arms. A startled yelp slipped out of Raven's mouth at the sudden movement. She withered under him in a vain and halfhearted attempt to escape.

"Get off." Her voice was barely heard. She looked at the cerulean haired boy through her lashes. Red X smiled darkly at the command. He leaned forwards until his breath fanned over her cheek. He then buried his face hi her hair. Raven gulped as she felt a burning sensation at the bottom of her stomach. "Red X, please get off me!" As she said each word, he kissed his way down her cheek and neck stopping at her collarbone. Her breathe had hitched higher with every kiss that he had placed on her skin.

"Call me Will, love." It was his turn to look at her through his lashes, which were long for a boy. Although she kept her façade up, she could tell that he knew that she was surprised that he had told her his name. Will opened his mouth to say something but a loud knock startled him. He let go of her wrists and twisted around his torso to glare at the door to her room. "I'll come back later, love." He kissed her quickly then grabbed his mask and pulled the window open. He put the mask on and jumped.

Raven stared at the empty air were he was before he dashed off. She was even more confused. The feeling of guilt had grown and another feeling she didn't understand was there. The burning in her stomach began to subdue as she lay there, breathing softly. Rough knocking ripped her from her thoughts. Her teammates muffled voices reached her ears. She slipped out of her warm bed and into the cold air of her dark room. As she walked to her door she grabbed a black robe from the desk and wrapped it around herself.

She opened the door and glanced at her teammates. Raven noticed Aqualad standing off to the side. She pulled the collar of her robe closer together when he turned his attention to her.

"So... why are you here?" Although she looked at Robin and the others it was obvious who she was asking.

"Someone somehow got the Atlantis and raided some of the gold." Robin began, looking at Aqualad to make sure he had the facts right. "Aqualad was sent here to get it back. When he got here we called for you to come down but you didn't answer so we came to see what was wrong." At the end of the explanation, everyone turned back to Raven.

"I was asleep. Apparently I used too much of my powers when we fought Red X." The lie that would have slipped easily out of her mouth normally, sounded forced. Cyborg raised his eyebrow in question but she pretended not to notice. The Atlantain gave her a look that told her he saw straight though her lie. The others nodded, though Robin hesitated. "Give me a moment to get dressed." With that she closed her door and turned around, intending to go to her closet to put something on. Before she stepped two feet something grabbed her attention.

A bouquet of blood red roses and white gardenias was resting on her bed. Next to it was a silver necklace with a single blood-hued garnet etched into the shape of a raven. Two onyxes made the gleaming eyes. Raven's heart stopped as she realized who had placed them there. She looked around her room. There was no sign of Red X other then the necklace and flowers.

She sighed and walked to her closet and grabbed a purple helter top and a pair of black pants. After putting on undergarments she paused and glanced back at the necklace. Raven shook her head and finished getting dressed before grabbing the necklace and walked to the door and opening it.

Aqualad turned his head to her. That same look he had earlier was gracing his features. A small frown crossed her lips and she walked past him with her head held high. He followed her.

"What's the real reason you didn't answer?" Raven glanced at the dark haired youth. Even in the dim light the similarities between Aqualad and Red X were unquestionable.

"Do you know someone named Will?" At her question he stopped walking and fully turned to her. His eyes where filled with shock. He opened his mouth to say something but she cut him off. "He gave this to me." With that Raven held up the garnet necklace up for him to see.

He grabbed her other arm and began walking to the living room. Aqualad kept muttering about something but she didn't pay that much attention to it. His face was set in a mask of anger and something that looked like jealousy. She remember something that Red X – no Will – had said,

"I don't like to share. And I'm not about to start sharing with a fish-boy."

Could Will and Aqualad know each other? She didn't see how that was possible but she wouldn't dismiss the theory. As they made their way to where the other Titans were, she noticed that they still haven't taken down the Christmas decorations. In one week she would be considered an adult. In one week she would be called back to Azarath to... Raven was jerked from her thoughts when she ran into Aqualad's back. She backed up and glared at his back.

"Why did you stop?" A shout answered her question. "Beast Boy!" She looked past Aqualad to see that he was wrapped in a red material. Robin was currently dueling with Red X. Her eyes faded to black and she fazed through the wall to behind Red X. Raven lifted up her arms and opened her mouth to utter her spell. However she was cut off by Red X's hand closing around her mouth. His other arm wrapped around her abdomen. The same material that was wrapped around Beast Boy was holding her wrists together.

"I'm afraid I can't let you do that." He whispered into her ear. "After all, it's not very nice to try to harm the one trying to court you." She struggled to get out of his grapes but it proved fruitless.

"Let her go." Aqualad had managed to get no more than five feet away from them.

"Why should I? Because you want her all to yourself?" Everyone turned to Aqualad and stared.

And here is where I stop. Heh, I can tell you're annoyed with me.
