Ok...lol I know, I know...I've been writing a lot of pointless stuff lately, like Numb and I Miss You, Revised, not to mention the incredibly depressing (at least to me) Breaking the Habit, but I guess I just needed a break from my serious stories, which I actually managed to update -cheers for self-. You guys seemed to like Rest In Pieces farely well, and I got the idea for a (sorta) sequel to it while listening to this song...so I thought I'd make this a two chapter story rather than a one-shot. This is dedicated to Tifereth Kantrishakrim...because, truthfully, her incredibly awesome one-shots are what inspired me to try my hand at them more often. Chapter 9 of One Last Dance was AWESOME, by the way...if you guys haven't already, GO READ IT. Hopefully, you like this :)

VerticallyxChallenged: LOL yeah, Robin is hot...but whoever said Star was intelligent? I know...I've always really loved that song, and it inspired the idea so I thought what the heck. LOL I read bios too...just didn't think anyone else did. Hope you like this! And your new name is awesome, by the way :)

SOVEREIGN LORD OF CHAOS: LOL I guess I'm not absolutely sure...Sorry, but my mom doesn't let me get into the whole emailing thing... -sigh- a bummer, yes, but those are the rules.

raeandrob4eva: LOL so it looks like I conveyed my feelings pretty well. Thanks, hope you like this one too!

Rinagurl13: Thanks :)

Tifereth Kantrishakrim: squeals ...Sorry, but I always get excited when I get a review from you. There's nothing like having one of your favorite authors come and read something of yours. Thank you soooo much:) gives a dozen digital cookies Your wish is my command!

lady briallen: LOL good, cuz that was the idea. Thank you!

Dangerproneredhead: Thanks so much! Yeah...in my opinion, Robin is the kind of person who doesn't give his heart lightly, doesn't play with someone's feelings. If he says he loves you, he really does love you. That makes the blow even more harsh, but it is, nonetheless, a great quality. Thanks so much for the review!

Furubafun24: LOL yeah, I had alot of fun with that aspect. I know, wasn't it just so sweet of him? Glad you liked it :)

Princess Starfire of Tamaran: Ok, first off, thank you. Knowing that you are a Star/Rob supporter, I tip my hat to you for reviewing to say more than just "this pairing sucks". Thank you for actually saying something constructive about the actual story. Yes, it was intended to be Rae/Rob at the end. I appreciate your opinion, but must beg to differ. Thank you for your review.

Firestar: LOL yeah, isn't it weird how those things come from no where? -laughs nervously, whistles- Thanks:)

Angel Vanilla: LOL I felt bad for Robin while writing it, so I know what you mean. Glad you liked it!

JesFriendMagnet: I think I'll salute myself for that too. Lol. So you twitch when you enjoy something? Interesting... Hmm... -turns to Robin- Does this person own you? Robin: Uh...not that I know of... -turns back to JesFriendMagnet- See?

Yamitano: Thanks :)...this part isn't really angst though.

yourworstnightmare: Is that you, AriesFalcon? -tisk tisk- It wasn't a Star/Rob story, honest! I am a hardcore Rae/Rob supporter, but I do recognize the hints of his affection for her, in earlier episodes, and I think that, if Robin loved someone, he would be deeply affected by their rejection. The end was intended to be Rae/Rob, so I'm glad you liked it. LOL I never had "R/S" days, thank you very much, and I never intend to either.

Niki Dee: LOL thanks, I'm glad you liked it:)

Majestical: Thanks :) ...LOL I usually find all these ideas in the hours in bed before I can actually fall asleep, and trust me, they are usually many. Well, I am caught up in school...does that make me an ingenious task master?

Aeris-Raven: Thanks, I really like the song too, and it just really seemed like a Robin sort of song. Well, you know, this is just one of those "what if?" stories...it may not be all that likely, but I got the idea for a story in which it did happen, so there you have it. I am not necessarily a BB/Star shipper...in fact, I really don't have any pairing preference other than Rae/Rob. LOL yeah. Glad you liked it:)

Mystyre: Aw, thanks! Yeah...lol I basically just knew that she was going to be with someone else, and Beast Boy was the first one who came to mind. Thanks so much:)

jambey: LOL yeah...the point was to make him a bit out of character, because, well, he wasn't himself. I think you can do it, if you really try. LOL! Not a one shot...but you already knew that, didn't you?

I DO NOT OWN THE SONG CRAZY FOR THIS GIRL, BY EVAN AND JARON. This takes place a couple months after Chapter 1.

Weak little sunbeams scurried into the room, leaving trails of white light on the dark red carpet. They continued to push their limits, creeping farther and farther into the brilliantly clean room until they came to rest on a pair of peacefully closed eyelids.

Robin blinked, taking his own sweet time to return to reality, letting the dream fade ever-so-slowly, savoring the sweet sensation. With a sigh of resignation, he stretched his arms out until his fingers brushed the wall, enjoying the feeling of strain that this movement heralded. The start of a new day...and he had never felt more ready.

Boy Wonder literally jumped out of bed, and, for once, found his path to the bathroom clear. He had found the energy to clean his room a few days ago, drawing from some unknown well of power. His dresser and closet were perfectly organized, his floor devoid of any stray papers, his crime files safely stored in two or three black filing cabinets. And now for the truly surprising part. His walls were blank and bare as they hadn't been for years, completely empty, not a magazine article or newspaper clipping in sight. Somehow, they didn't seem all that necessary anymore. It was hard to believe that, not long ago, he would have yelled at anyone who even suggested it.

Robin jumped a little as the ice cold water drenched his skin, still warm from sleep and blankets, but it was a good feeling. The temperature drop awoke his senses like nothing else could, sending a shiver of energy and awareness pulsing through him. Surprising even himself, he laughed, no longer able to hold it all inside. Maybe today would be the day...

Raven sat cross-legged on her bed, stretching and yawning a little. She had been meditating for the past hour, and she felt refreshed and relaxed, even content. "Content" was just about as close as she ever got to happy.

She drifted slowly down the hallway, headed for the kitchen and her morning ritual of tea and toast. She was a little surprised to hear some kind of rock song drifting towards her, breaking the early morning silence. Who would be so very up at six o'clock in the morning? Raven smiled a little as she pressed the small silver button and slipped through the sliding doors. Who else?

She rolls the window down
And she
Talks over the sound
Of the cars that pass us by
And I don't know why
But she's changed my mind

She stifled a laugh as she saw Robin, decked out in a brightly colored apron and personalized oven mitts, frowning in concentration as he poured out a cup-full of milk. "Looks like somebody got up on the right side of the bed this morning."

He jumped a foot in the air, splashing milk all over the counter and down his bright green apron. His masked eyes grew wide and a blush crept into his cheeks as he saw Raven, leaning against the doorframe and laughing quietly. "Uh...Raven...nice...nice day we're having..." He attempted to lean casually on the counter, but his glove slipped on the newly spilled milk, bashing his elbow on the slick surface.

"Really? I hadn't noticed." She smiled even more as the blush deepened. "What's on the menu?" Raven asked, glancing at the many pots and mixing bowls with interest.

Recovering a tiny bit of his usual confidence, Robin replied, "Ham and bacon surprise, tofu waffles, fresh-squeezed...whatever, and herbal tea with hot buttered toast." A small nervous smile crept onto his face as he looked at her uncertainly.

Would you look at her
She looks at me
She's got me thinking about her constantly
But she don't know how I feel

"I wonder who that could be for." Raven smiled a little and crossed the kitchen to stand beside him, watching as he tensed, his eyes fixed on the ground.

And as she carries on without a doubt
I wonder if she's figured it out
I'm crazy for this girl

Robin's cheeks burned as he felt her presence, so near. It was wonderful and terrible, like flying and falling at the same time.

I'm crazy for this girl

"You look a bit flushed. You're not sick, are you?"

Robin opened his mouth to speak, but found that his voice had all-but deserted him. "I...I'm not...you don't need to...I'm fine." Was he imagining it, or could he really feel her breath on his cheek?

She laughed quietly. "That's good. You have both shoes and newly-gelled hair this morning, I see. Always a good sign."

A frown came out of nowhere to fix itself to Boy Wonder's face. That had certainly been one of his all-time lows. Raven mentioning it made him extremely uncomfortable; that night he had been anything but the brave, fearless leader of the Teen Titans. But Raven didn't mind that. Raven helped him in a way that no one else could.

She was the one to hold me
The night
The sky fell down
And what was I thinking when
The world didn't end

How could he have wept for Starfire? All along, Raven was right there in front of him, and maybe...just maybe, she was feeling all this, too.

Why didn't I know what I know now?

The laugh died quickly as she saw the pain, greatly reduced, but still there, reflected on his face. "Look, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought that up, not now." She reached out and gently touched his shoulder.

At that moment, some kind of explosion went off in his stomach, slowly spreading to his fingers and toes, leaving him dizzy with conflicting emotions. He vaguely wondered if she could tell...surely he couldn't feel this much without her noticing, and...what if she felt it, too?

Would you look at her
She looks at me
She's got me thinking about her constantly
But she don't know how I feel

"It's good to see you...alive again. You really had me worried for a while there." Raven smiled gently at him, wondering why he wouldn't meet her eyes. The sudden upsurge of emotion confused her a little, too. She could only assume it had something to do with remembering Starfire.

Worried? She was worried about him? Those were her exact words, spoken so casually from those perfect lips...Robin shook his head in a vain attempt to bring it back to Earth. She was his teammate, of course she worried about him. That didn't mean anything.

"Robin? Are you sure you're ok?" She looked questioningly at her leader, bright red and shaking slightly, but still he refused to meet her eyes.

And as she carries on without a doubt
I wonder if she's figured it out
I'm crazy for this girl

Robin blushed furiously as the song belted out what he couldn't find the courage to say.

I'm crazy for this girl

"Robin?" On impulse, she tilted his head up until their "eyes" met, but was just as lost as before when a blank mask stared back at her. What was going on behind that empty stare?

He froze as her dark, amethyst eyes bored into him, staring straight into his soul and laying bare all his deepest darkest secrets. His breath caught in his chest at the thought of Raven discovering his best-kept secret of all.

Right now

"I could know...all I would have to do is just slip it off..." To Raven's disbelief, her hands were creeping forward, inching up his face, curling under the edges of his coveted mask...

"Stop her!" his mind yelled, but still he remained frozen, fear raging inside of him as she drew ever closer, as he felt her cool fingers on his skin, as it slid off his face, the cool air refreshing his long-confined eyes.

Face to face

Nervously, hesitantly, almost sorrowfully, he lifted his eyes to hers. Robin was completely unprotected, open for attack, exposed. He was utterly at her mercy. What would she do with him now?

Raven stared as eyes of deepest blue, with tiny streams of green and gray, met her own. There was so much in those eyes, so many words unspoken, so many feelings unshared. It was all so mixed and muddled that she could hardly make sense of it.

All my fears

There it was. That strange sensation, terrible and beautiful, so completely happy and so deeply miserable, aching, yearning, shrinking, shunning. Still he stared into her eyes, hoping somehow he would see it there, yet dreading the possibility. Maybe they could reach some silent understanding...maybe he could somehow avoid experiencing that horrible pain again. Maybe he wouldn't have to say it.

Pushed aside

Raven remained completely silent, but somehow she was urging him on, demanding answers, trying to draw the words from his frozen mouth. "Raven, I didn't tell you before because I guess I wasn't sure, or maybe I was afraid of another... I can't stop thinking about you, Raven. You're driving me insane, every time you look at me it's like I'm being ripped apart and slowly put back together, but when you don't look at me it's like I'm only half, like I'm lost. I can't bear to be near you, but when I'm not, I hurt...I hurt so bad. I dream about you every night, every morning I get up because I konw you'll be there, waiting for me. I love you, Raven!"

And right now
I'm ready to spend the rest of my life
With you

"Is there anything you wanted to talk about, Robin? You know I'm always here if you need anything."

Suddenly Robin deflated like a popped balloon, the overwhelming pressure and excitement vanishing, a weight of despair left in its wake. "No, Raven. Everything's fine."

"All right...if you're sure..." Raven stared awkwardly at the mask in her hand, so limp and weak without his face behind it. What on Earth had possessed her to take it off? And, more importantly, why hadn't Robin blown her head off for even trying? "Here", she mumbled, handing it back to him with an odd feeling of regret.

He took it wordlessly, looking down as he placed it over his eyes once more. The thing grew oddly heavy in his hands, and for the first time in a long time, he despised it. "The others will probably be up soon. I should get back to work."

Raven stared at him, confused at the sudden coldness in his voice.

Would you look at her
She looks at me
She's got me thinking about her constantly
But she don't know how I feel

Robin silently handed her the plate of toast and mug of tea. He looked at her for a split second, managing a small smile before he turned his back to her, busying himself with the tofu waffles. He could feel Raven's eyes staring questioningly at him for what seemed an eternity, yet all too soon she turned away, murmuring a quick "thank you".

And as she carries on without a doubt
I wonder if she'll figure it out
I'm crazy for this girl

He watched her go, a quiet sigh escaping his lips as her cloak whipped out of sight. Another day gone.

I'm crazy for this girl

Well, there it is. I hope you guys liked it, especially you, Tifereth Kanrishakrim. If you guys like this, I might write a chapter three...this is my first multiple chapter (strict) song fic, so I'd be more than happy to continue if you want me to. Later days! -Dusty
