Author's Note: Yet another late chapter, don't worry I'll do something about my late updates. Hopefully, this was as good as the other one.
Robin and Raven met in the garage. Robin was balancing the R-cycle with one foot on the ground and he held the helmet out for Raven.
She was wearing blue jeans and a black shirt with "Over My Dead Body" scribbled in red. Tied to her waist was a blue jacket, the same shade as her cloak.
Robin was wearing khaki baggy jeans and a red shirt over a white long-sleeved one with the sleeved rolled up to his elbows.
Raven put on the helmet just like he did and held on to his waist. Robin turned the R-cycle and rode off to the city.
They had a hard time picking a restaurant and ended up eating in their usual pizza parlor.
A bus boy went to their table and took orders.
"So, you'll get the usual pizza? A large pepperoni?" He looked down and only saw two titans seated at the table. He looked around, hoping that the others would come and join them soon.
"Whoa, where are the others? And you're with…" He looked across the table and saw the pale-faced demon. He tried to work out a reason for Robin to go out with... "…her."
"Yes, I'm 'her'…and you must be 'him'. Nice to meet you 'him'" Raven said sarcastically.
"Uh, we'll get a small pepperoni, Danny." Robin said, changing the subject.
"Drinks for you and…her?" He refused to look at her. She was the one who made the pizza explode in his face a month ago because of his, shall we say, "demonic" comment.
"Uhm just a soda for me and…" Robin turned to Raven, pleading to stop the tongue lashing.
"Iced tea." Raven turned back at her feet, and crossed her arms delicately across her chest.
Danny, the bus boy, walked out of the scene and passed on the orders to the cook.
"Where do we go after this?" Robin asked her.
"It's your call. You were the one who asked me." Raven replied angrily. She suddenly forgot who she was on a date with.
"Um, what about a movie or…just a walk in the park." Robin suggested.
"Let's get this 'lunch' over with first." Raven looked at her watch, impatiently tapping the table.
Silence…and even more silence…
"So," Robin started again. He couldn't take the silence with all the tapping and the silence and even more tapping and… "Sorry about Danny."
"It's okay. I get that most of the time. 'Hey look! It's her…with Robin!'" She mimicked the people mockingly. Her sarcasm was piercing, yet enjoyable.
The boy wonder chuckled.
Another busboy came to their table and served them their pizza.
Robin picked up a slice and offered another to Raven.
They bit their slices at the same time, then chuckled after looking at each other.
Raven shuffled her feet. Somehow she felt uneasy, yet comfortable. She was glad she was with Robin, yet it didn't seem right.
"A stroll in the park sounds great, Robin." She looked up at him, finishing her pizza.
Robin raised a hand and paid for the pizza. "Yeah…it sure does doesn't it. C'mon let's go." He pulled Raven's hand. The electricity between them made Raven jump. She stood up and followed her leader, hoping that he would never let go.
They took the R-Cycle to the park and strolled there.
Their feet made no sound. Walking silently though the path of central park.
"So, how many dates have you been in?" Robin asked. It was a very unusual start for a conversation.
"Um…including a guy asking me to dance in a party? Only once, but other than that. This is my first time." Raven answered, not even feeling the least bit ashamed.
"Really? A lot of girls ask me, but I always turn them down." Robin continued.
"Why?" Raven asked the boy wonder. She felt jealous of him. People actually like him…unlike her…the one they judge.
"Well, first off, I hate girls that are too…pathetic. I hate being chased after. I just…hate it." Robin said.
Phew, Raven was glad she wasn't the one to ask him out. "That's because you're so…uhm…never mind."
"I'm so what?" Robin stopped in his tracks.
"Nothing." Raven continued to walk ahead of him.
"Raven, what?" Robin ran up to her. "Tell me. I want to know."
"You're so…perfect." Raven continued.
"Really? I always thought I was too stiff. With all those experiences with Slade, and that time with Beastboy and my fight with Cy and with Star and her 'marriage'" Robin counted in his fingers, and held up four fingers. "Four. That's enough to think I'm stiff."
"You're not stiff. It normal to act that way. Star is trying too hard to be…happy and Beastboy is trying to be the comedian, even in times we don't need a laugh. And Cy, and his 'leadership' issues and me and my…anger tantrums. You can keep yourself balanced, with Slade and your friends. That's why you're so perfect." Raven explained.
"Thanks. Nobody ever told me that." Robin felt an urge to hug Raven. Nobody could ever make him feel so needed. Not even Starfire.
"C'mon. I'll but you an ice cream." He motioned for Raven to follow him, and paid the 'ice cream man'. He offered Raven the scoop of vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry with chocolate syrup and got himself the same ice cream.
"Thanks." Raven said.
After finishing their ice creams…
"So, where to next? We've filled up our stomachs with pizza and ice cream already. Where do we go now?" Robin asked again.
"What about a movie?" Raven suggested.
"Sure."
