Chapter 2-Be So Happy to Be in Love
Raven sighed. "What now?" she thought as she walked towards her door. She opened it, and there stood Robin. He asked, "Um, can I come in?"
"Yeah, um, sure thing! What do you need?" Raven answered, quite flustered.
"I had a talk with the Titans, well, I tried to anyway. They have a hard time realizing that you're a diferent person now, but I understand what you're going through."
"You do?" Raven asked, slowly losing her tension. It came straight back, once Robin replied, "I-I overheard you in here, you know, and I just wanna say-"
"I'm sorry!" she cried, "I feel like such an idiot. I can't control my emotions, and well, I-"
"Love you too!" Robin finished for her, whilst professing his love for her. "I've loved you since Slade came back to tell you your destiny. It's just so complicated, but you're this amazing girl that I can, um, connect with." Raven just stood there astonished and surprised to the point where all she could say was, "What about Starfire? Are you just going to leave her in the dust?"
"I can't leave her, because it would break her heart, and she is very kind to me," Robin reasoned.
"Are you suggesting we have an affair?" she questioned, to which Robin nodded his head.
"Our love is a true love, and once you feel true love, you cannot go back," he explained lovingly.
"Yes, you're past the point of no return," she agreed, with a fairly large smile on her face. He sat down next to her on her bed, then came quite a magical moment in time. They looked into each other's eyes deeply, grasped each other's hands, and began to kiss. Raven began to imagine their future together, marriage, kids, growing old. The world seemedjust so perfect at that moment for both of them.
A few weeks later, Robin came into Raven's room, again. It had become a daily routine for both of them to spend time together as two lovers. He walked over to her, gave her a soft peck on the cheek, and said, "Hello darling."
"Hey sweetie. Anything new with you?" Raven answered back softly.
"Yup, I got you something," Robin said as he handed her a box, "Open it!"
She lifted up the lid of the box to reveal a black rose with something black tied around the lush, green stem. After picking it up, she smelled it. Its fragrant smell prompted Raven to give Robin a tremendous hug. "Thank you so much. It's really beautiful," she remarked.
"Yeah, um, I didn't think red suited you," Robin said jokingly.
"Ha-ha," Raven replied sarcastically, "but seriously, what's tied around it?"
"That's one of my masks," he answered smugly.
"Awww, I love you so much!"
"I love you more!"
"I'd still love you if we both died."
Robin scooped Raven up and held her in his arms. "I'd still love you if we died and it was your fault!" he said as he spun around, stopped, and kissed her once more. This moment would not last, for Raven's door slammed open. It was Cyborg, and the look of shock and anger on his face showed he wasn't too pleased with what he saw.
