FOR YOU RAVEN HOPE! For inspiring me to use The little mermaid!Enjoy!
Robin woke up and yawned. Had it been a dream? No, it couldn't be. Raven's touch was so real. How could he forget that? He got up and went to the living room.
"Robin, you slept well did you not?" Starfire asked from the table. It seemed they were getting ready for breakfast. Cyborg and Beastboy were wrestling in the kitchen deciding whether to have tofu or eggs, and Raven was reading the Sunday newspaper. Sunday paper? It was Wednesday.
He stretched. "I had the best dream." He looked at Raven but she turned away.
After the motorcycle ride home last night Raven had a hard time controlling her emotions. Her room was now in shambles.
"What's for breakfast?" Robin asked as he sat in the chair.
"Cyborg and Beastboy are trying to decide that." Starfire winced when a crash came from the kitchen.
"Well, while we wait, why don't we play a game?"
"Yes! That would be most delightful!"
Robin walked over to the closet and opened it.
Scrabble? No, he stunk at spelling. Yatzee? No, too loud. Monopoly? Too long. Chess? They had chess? He was actually good at chess.
"How about this game?"
"I do not know how to play that game," Starfire protested.
"What about you Raven?"
Raven slid down in her chair. "N-n-no that's ok."
"C'mon. You just don't want to lose to a master strategist."
Raven tried to suppress some laughter.
"Do you think you can beat me?" he challenged.
"Yes."
"Prove it."
Raven sat down behind the black pieces. In seconds she had them set up.
"Looks like you've played this before."
Raven nodded her head in response.
There you see herSitting across the way
She don't got a lot to say
But there's something about her
Robin moved his knight up. She was so quiet. He had to get her to talk somehow.
"You sleep well last night?"
"No."
"Why?"
She shrugged but Robin knew perfectly well why she couldn't sleep.
"So….are you reading anything good lately?"
She moved her castle and took his bishop. "What makes you so interested in me all of a sudden?"
"I've always been interested in you." As soon as he said that he wished he hadn't. Yet, something deep inside him wanted to pour out his heart and tell her.
And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
You want to kiss the girl
Raven blushed and took his other bishop.
Robin mentally smacked himself. He had gotten her to talk a little then he made a stupid move like that.
"Robin. Robin." He snapped out of his daze. "What are you doing? I just took your queen," Raven waved the queen in his face, "what happened to 'master strategist?'"
Ok, two stupid moves.
"Why don't we raise the stakes?" Robin dared.
"What do you propose?"
"If I win, you will wake up every morning this week at 3:00 am and make me breakfast."
"3:00. Why 3?"
"Because I you already wake up at five every morning so three has to be a little early for you."
"And if I win?"
"I'll take you to Disneyland."
"Disneyland? Oh goodie. I've heard that's pretty expensive. Especially when you don't have a queen."
"I don't need a queen."
Raven looked at him in the eye. "Then shake on it."
Robin reached out but Raven pulled her hand away.
"Without the glove."
With a sigh, Robin ripped off his glove. "Satisfied?"
Raven grabbed his hand and shook it. Robin felt a tingle go up his arm causing him to smile.
Yes, you want her
Look at her you know you do
Possible that she wants you, too
His touch sent shivers up and down her spine. She closed her eyes and tried to not make anything blow up.
"Everything alright?"
She jerked her hand away. "I'm fine. Check."
Robin sat forward in his seat. He moved his king there, no. There, no. Great. Raven was again silent. He needed another topic.
Robin shook his head to clear his thoughts. He couldn't think with Raven on his mind.
Silently, Robin moved his king.
Raven moved her rook. "Check."
Was that it? His king couldn't move anywhere without being taken. So why hadn't Raven said checkmate? He looked at her but her face showed no hints. She was good at this. She was good at a lot of things. Keeping secrets, trusting her instincts, not talking.
A thought crossed his mind. Maybe he didn't need for her to talk. Sometimes expressing something did not take words…
There's one way to ask her
It don't take a word
Not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl
Out of the corner of his eye he caught it. Raven had moved her rook out of the way of her queen. If he moved his knight to kill her queen then he would be safe.
"Ha! Looks like the tables have turned."
"So it would seem." She bent over the table trying to prepare her next move.
With one movement of her bishop, she had him in another check.
Disappointed, he leaned forward in concentration.
Raven felt Robin's forehead brush against her and they both looked up. Robin smiled.
He was getting too close. So she moved back in her seat.
Sha la la la la la don't be scared
You got the mood prepared
Go on and kiss the girl
"You're good at this."
Raven nodded. "You've left a huge gap on the right side."
Robin looked down. He had, in fact, left his king wide open on the right side.
And of course Raven took that opportunity. "Check."
After thirty more minutes of his 'master strategy' or as Raven called it, running, both were drooping in their seats with cold breakfast plates.
"Check!" Robin stood up raising his arms in victory.
"Finally."
The comment made Robin sit down.
"What are you talking about?"
"This is the first check you've had the whole game."
"So."
"So you made it so I could take your last main piece."
True. Raven had taken his rook leaving him with a small number of pawns.
"Well, what if I use my pawn to take your bishop?" He leaned forward in a challenge.
"Then you leave your king to be taken with my rook." She accepted and bent over the table.
Staring at Raven, billions of thoughts ran though his head but he only heard one.
Sha la la la la la don't stop now
Don't try to hide it
How you want to kiss the girl
He could see the same desire in Raven's eyes. Just one small movement and he could…
You've got to kiss the girl
You wanna kiss the girl
You've gotta kiss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl
Suddenly Raven pulled back. Her face was a look of fear, anxiety, and most of all…regret.
"Checkmate."
A/N: You like? Go the idea from playing chess with my dad. Like Raven, he had almost all his pieces while I had measly pawns. How do you kill a rook with pawns! Anyway for you Disney freaks like me, here's the whole song. Hope you enjoyed!
There you see herSitting across the way
