It's Not Your Fault
Ronnoco
Chapter V
Messing Around
Robin strode into the main room, walking briskly past Beast Boy, who was playing a racing game alone. "Hey Robin! Do you wanna play me?"
"No, not really"
"But Cy's working on his car and Star's at the mall. Please...?"
"No, I'm busy." Robin replied, clearly annoyed, as he turned on the stove.
"Doing what?"
"Making some green tea for Rae. She got hurt in the combat room..."
"Oh..." Beast Boy looked rather deflated. "Well, if you don't want to play later, I'll go ask her to play!"
"She's not feeling well. Not now BB."
"Fine. Later then..." The changeling continued his game, losing pitifully to the computer opponent, obviously irritated at Robin's stubbornness.
"Hey there Rae! I brought you some tea," Robin came into the bedroom cheerfully, "Are you feeling better?"
"Yeah, only my foot hurts now." Raven smiled. She looked at Robin in a very different way just now; he was so caring to Raven, a thing she has never had from someone before, someone who she loved and loved back. He seemed so strong and protective when he carried her, so handsome. If only Raven could remove his mask, to see his eyes. "Robin, why do you wear that mask?" she asked, sitting on her knees with her feet splayed out to the sides. 'All I want is to see your face'.
"Um, my, a, identity. It needs to be a secret." Robin explained nervously, beginning to sweat slightly.
"A secret to everyone?"
"Um, well..." Robin moved closer to the bed where Raven sat, "I suppose not to everyone..." He now stood right before her, bending down to see her at eye level.
"Robin, I want to see who you are, I want to know your face..." Slowly, she reached to his face, stroking his cheek. "I want to know your eyes..."Raven touched his mask, yearning to remove it, to see the boy wonder she loved. "Please..."
Robin just stared at her. 'She's so beautiful...' He looked at the symbol of fate on her forehead, 'I don't care about your destiny... No matter how tortured your soul is, I'll protect you... I love you...' "Raven, I love you..."
"I love you too..." she delicately removed that horrible mask. His eyes were so blue, like water; she could see his soul.
Robin leaned in closer, wrapping his arms around her smooth body as he did. Pressing his lips against hers, wanting more then ever to do nothing but show his love to her, prove how much he cared.
She gave into the passionate kiss, begging even with her tongue. They fell onto the mattress, losing themselves in the sea of sheets and dreams. Raven moved her hands along his muscular back, working down lower, until under his shirt. She pulled it up, taking it off the one whom she loved, he moving his arms to get out of the sleeves. But they did not break the kiss, merely moving the shirt around Ravens own neck. She held him close, feeling all over his body, massaging his shoulder and caressing his neck.
Then the door opened.
The pair stopped dead, breaking away to turn to see their intruder. At the door stood feeble Beast Boy, very shocked and startled by the arousing sight.
"Wha-, what are you two, um, doing?"
"Beast Boy it's not-, we were just messing around!" Robin panicked.
"If you go blabbing to everyone-!" Raven threatened. Suddenly, Beast Boy's expression changed. It was no longer the fearful, confused look; it was sympathetic.
"Raven, what's that on your forehead?" He asked, partially worried. He cautiously walked towards her. Robin moved off of Raven and began putting back on his shirt and mask. "Rae, is that, is that the mark that was on Slade?" He looked her over, still worried and caring. "There's things on your arms and legs too..."
Raven looked down, scared of what her friend would think if he knew what they meant. Whether he'd still be sympathetic like Robin, or if he'd leave her, see her as a betraying freak.
Robin seemed speechless, unsure of what to say of think; standing on the sidelines watching for what would happen.
"Did, did Slade do this? Put this on you? What do they mean...-?"
Raven slowly nodded. "They mean, they mean what I am... What I'm destined to do..."
"What is it that's going to happen Rae, what are you going to do?" He moved closer still, scared for what was wrong. Raven started taking deep breaths, struggling to hold back the tears...
Robin: "I really liked this chapter!" (tries to give me a high-5)
Me: (evil glares of doom) "Perv..."
Raven: "Yeah, he gets like that sometimes... at least you don't live with him..."
Robin: "Hey! You liked it! Don't you guys go calling me a perv when YOU (points at me) wrote this and YOU (points at Rae) were the one taking off my shirt!-"
Me: (ignoring Robin) yeah, anyways, review and I'll shut him up for you..." (smiles at the number of reviews people will pay to make Robin shut up)
