I DO NOT OWN: Teen Titans, Metallica, Papa Roach, Viva La Bam... I wish I did though...

I would like give a special thanks to...

Ravens-Rage-I'm going to update weekly… i think. I updated as soon as I could and I hope you enjoy it!

Red X's Raven-Thanx! I'm glad you liked it! (And thanx for reviewing both chapters! I hope to hear from you again)

kilala63-that's a good idea. Basically what I'm going to do is have her go through a change in the story. In the beginning she'll be girlie, but she'll grow out of it as the story goes on. She's going to get taught how to speak normally though (probably with the help of mainly Robin)

ChErRyBlOsSoMs-FlOwErOfDeAtH- J YAY! Glad you loved it!

Darkest Midnight- lol! I'm so happy that you like my story and can't wait for me to update! I'll try to update twice next time!

Digital-DNA-okay… I'm happy you reviewed, but why bother if you don't like it? Thanx… I guess… I hope the next chapters might change your mind…

Lance Yoshi-I'm going to try to update sooner. Sorry 'bout the wait.

BTW: Please review! I love to read your responses and it sorta pushes me to write more. I don't like flames, but all criticism is accepted. Thanx for reading!

Hidden Feelings

-In Robins Room-

Robin let a loud, long yawn escape his lips as he got out of his hot shower, now ready for the toughest thing he'd probably ever have to do in his life. He walked to his closet, with only a towel for coverage, and searched for something to wear among the many clothing items and accessories. He knew that today would be the day he confessed everything to Raven. The day that he would express his love to her. He just hoped she'd accept it and feel the same.

"Dark colors... she's really into black, so I should try to go with that. A Metallica t-shirt? Nah. I'll go with a different band because she probably doesn't like them, but I don't really know. I never asked her anything personal before. Um... I think I'll go with this one."

Robin pulled out a black Papa Roach tee and looked at it. It had a red roach on the front that was upside down and read in red print "PAPA ROACH". On the back was the lyrics to 'Getting Away With Murder' and also had signatures from the band members, which he obtained from going to a few of their shows the previous summer. He continued rummaging through his closet in search of some pants that were suitable. He came across black loose jeans with many pockets and chains that went down all the way to his feet. He grabbed a pair of socks, a three row spiked pyramid belt, and a "Viva La Bam" wristband to finish his outfit off. He brought all of these items across the room to his king sized bed and laid them out, so he could put them on in a minute.

He wiped the droplets of water off his forehead and put his right hand through his wet, jet-black hair as he moved towards his stereo that had just stopped playing his 'Getting Away With Murder' CD. He stopped midway to adjust his towel that was about to fall off when suddenly he heard a noise at the door. He just realized that he hadn't fully closed the door that was now slowly opening, as he quickly readjusted the white towel around his waist and prepared for whoever it was. 'Who could this be? No ones home except for... Raven. It has to be her' he thought as he heard a loud noise come from behind him and then noticed who stood in the doorway. He blushed a deep shade of scarlet and made his way towards the door to greet the person and try to steer them away, so he could get some clothes on.

-In the hallway-

Raven stood outside Robins door wondering how to explain this to him. Her feelings confused her, but she told herself that no matter what she was to go through with this. By the time she was finally ready to enter, which had been easily twenty or more minutes after she came to the door, she thought that she had heard some doors opening and closing, but she didn't think much of it. 'If someone was going to take a shower or needed privacy they would shut the door, so whatever he's doing it can't be too private. The door is almost halfway open, so I don't think that I should be worrying about this. Well here it goes... '

She opened the door slowly, only to see Robin in only a soaked towel. Raven quickly turned around in the opposite direction and blushed. Robin blushed also, but got a hold on himself and said to her "It's okay. You can look if you want to. There's nothing showing or anything... just a bit of skin... okay... a lot of skin. You're free to leave if you wish." She looked at him, giving her a warm smile, then stood there for a while to check the boy wonder out. 'Can this really be happening?' she asked herself as she stared at his extraordinary body that was now partly exposed to her as he walked towards her.

He had acquired more of an adult look and a better body. He was skinny, fit, muscular, tanned, and had an eight pack. His black hair seemed a bit longer and his brown eyes seemed to shimmer in the light coming from the window on the other side of the room.

"On second thought, can you give me a minute? I'd really like to get some clothes on because I'm a little uncomfortable being almost naked around such a pretty girl, like yourself. So if you don't mind when you leave to shut the door behind you." He flashed her another sincere smile while he headed over towards his bed to get dressed for the day.

Raven exited the room, shutting the door, gently, behind her. She secretly wished that she could've stayed though and stood a few feet away from his doorway. Her thoughts were now revolving around Robin and what had just happened. 'Maybe this is just a dream' she thought 'the best damn dream I've ever had! No. It's just a dream. I didn't really see the guy I long for half naked, with only small coverage so he wasn't completely exposed. His nice, muscular, perfect, toned, tan, fine, athletic, sexy, strong, wet body... '

BAM!

"You okay Rae?"

"I'm... fine... I was just thinking about something..."

"So... what were you thinking about?"

"Nothing. Just thinking. That's all."

"You sure? Usually when something breaks that means that something is up. Tell me what's on your mind."

"No."

"Why not?"

"It's too personal."

"Oh. Okay."

"I was going to tell you, but you... um..."

"Yes..."

"That situation in your room. I never meant for it to happen. It was a total mistake. I really didn't mean to. I feel so... embarrassed, ashamed, and..."

"Go on..."

"I felt so" she paused then finally said to him "Glad."

Robin froze in place hoping that she'd continue what she was saying, but was for some unknown reason afraid to know the truth. The dark girl was so solitary and she always confined herself so no one could try to understand her. Now she was opening up and revealing her feelings. He wanted to tell her how he felt, but decided to hear what she had to say first.

"What do you mean? You were glad?"

She stopped and moved closer to Robin to whisper in his ear the words she wished she could've told him so long ago, "I love"

Just then Star burst into the hall along with BB and Cy causing her to immediately teleport into her own room before they saw her with Robin. Robin was frozen in place from what just happened. 'Did she almost just say what I think she was about to say?' He shook his head and came back to reality where his friends were greeting him.

"Hello friend Robin! What a most joyous surprise!"

"Dude! You're back!"

"Long time no see. How's it been?"

Robin was thrilled to see his teammates, but wasn't sure why he wasn't as happy as he thought he'd be. He thought he'd be so overexcited, but he wasn't. Right now he wished it were only he and Raven, like before. 'I knew I should've told her what was on my mind! Damn! I'll just have to catch her later.'

"I'm fine Cy. Um... I know this is going to sound sort of rude, but I really need some alone time now. I'll talk to you all later."

Cy and BB left right away, not wanting to disturb him and Star stayed. She still loved him and wouldn't want anything bad to happen to the boy wonder, so she figured that she'd see what was bothering him.

"Friend Robin?"

"Yeah Star."

"What is wrong?"

"Nothing, I'd rather not talk about it. Please leave me be."

"You do not wish for me to cheer you up?"

Robin walked past Star and went into his room. He went over to his bed and lay down on top of his soft comfortable. He stared at the ceiling for a while until Star entered. 'She has changed a bit' he admitted to himself 'and Rae probably wouldn't go on a date with me, so I guess I'll ask her out. She does look beautiful, but not the same as Rae. Raven has something about her that makes her irresistible, but she'd never feel the same as I do.'

"I'm sorry Star. I was just thinking about something."

"Oh. What was it?"

"Just someone I love, but she'll never know."

"I love you."

"Whoa!"

"What is the matter?"

"You sounded normal for a moment. Not to be mean or anything, it's just that I'm not used to it."

"Oh. I'm taking proper English classes, so I can speak normally. I will, one day soon, be able to speak like any other person. My teacher said that my speech was sort of foreign and it would be hard to change, but with practice and the right teaching methods it's possible that I could sound like any other American! Isn't this joyous!"

"Yeah, it's wonderful. Haha. Just terrific."

"So you will try to help me with speaking 'normal'?"

"Yes, Star. I'll try to help you out."

"I give you thanks and much praise!"

"You mean 'I thank you!' right?"

"Yes. Precisely!"

"No problem. It is my pleasure."

He gave her a small smile and asked her "I would like to teach you more, but lets say in a different atmosphere. Would you like to go out to dinner with me tonight?"

"I'd love to!"

"Great! I'll make the arrangements. Be back in a little bit, okay?"

"Hold on! Is this a date?"

He froze. He wasn't sure what to say. He wanted to stay single, just in case he could convince Rae to go out with him.

"We'll just call it a 'night out on the town'."

"Oh. That will be fine friend Robin."

"One more thing before I go. Haven't those teachers taught you anything? You can just address me as Robin. Drop the whole 'friend' thing and also don't use the word will so much. You can use com-pound words instead. I'll teach you more of this over dinner."

"Okay. I will... I mean... I'll miss you frie... Robin. See you later."

Robin got up off his bed and left, leaving Star in his rooms entrance. 'I do love him, but why does he not tell me he loves me, like he used to before we split up?' Star stood there for a while before exiting and going to her own room.

-In Ravens room-

'Why did I even try to tell him? What was the use? Damn! I'm an ass! He loves Star... not me. As much as I love him I guess it just wasn't meant to be. I'll just have to...' she let an exhausted sigh out from her throat 'let him go. Robin and Star. Sounds pretty nice. It would sound better if it were Robin and Raven... WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING!'

She lay on her bed now smothering her face in the pillows and trying to rid of the salty tears that streamed down her smooth cheeks.

'I can't be here. Maybe I should never see Robin again. All he has done is cause me pain. There is another option, though.'

Rae buried her face deep within the pillow and held her breath. As the air escaped through her nostrils she felt herself losing precious oxygen from her body. Little by little she felt herself slowly loose consciousness...
