It was about 3 in the morning, and Raven lay in bed, awake, not being able to sleep. So, she decided to get some tea.
As she walked into the kitchen, she found Robin, sitting on the counter, drinking some coffee. "Hey. What are you doing up so early?" Robin asked. "I couldn't sleep. Why are you up?" said Raven. "I don't sleep. I've been up all night tracing Slade and-" He was cut off. "Robin. You need to get some sleep. Slade can wait till a decent hour." she said. He just looked away and sighed. "He went after me, then Terra, and now he's after you. He needs to be stopped." He slammed his coffee in the counter, stood up, and sat back down at the computer.
Raven just sighed and thought, 'He'll never learn.' She reached into the cabinet and reached around for her tea. "Damn it! I'm out of tea! I guess I'll just have cocoa instead." You could see the discust on her face as she poured herself a glass. She took a sip, after adding alot of milk. "Hey. This isn't really that bad." she said.
She sat down on the couch and watched Robin go crazy over Slade, yet again. After about an hour, Robin was glued to the computer screen, and Raven finally spoke up about it. "You know, Robin. You should take the day off. Every time I see you, you're glued to the computer after some villain or another." She walked over to the computer and shut it off. He gave her an evil stare, then looked down and sighed. He looked up at her and shined his amazing smile. (Yes, I'm a Robin fan girl.) "You're right. I should take a break," he said yawning a bit.
She smiled as she took the last a last sip of her cocoa, leaving her with a mustache. Robin looked at her and began to snicker. She looked at him, confused, "What's so funny?" He just shook his head, and walked over to the kitchen, grabbing a napkin. He walked back over to her and wiped her upper lip gently, then showed her the napkin. She just looked at it and blushed, but she had pulled her hood up, so he couldn't notice. "Oops," she finally said, smiling a bit. "Now I know why I don't drink cocoa."
Yawning, yet again, Robin turned around and walked toward the hall. "I'm going to bed. Later Rae." She just waved and sat on the couch as he left. As she sat there, the only thing on her mind was Robin. The way he looked, his mask, his smile, his amazing chiseled muscles, the way he fought, the way his smile made her heart jump………. 'Wait,' she thought. 'I don't like Robin, do I?' she asked herself. 'Yes you do. Don't fight it,' the little voice in her head answered back (everyone has one, don't deny it). 'No. I can't like Robin. He's like my big brother,' she told the voice. 'Your hot, muscular, amazing big brother,' the voice added, not trying to sound perverted. 'And he's not that much older than you. Seven months is no big deal.'
Raven began to feel stupid fighting with a voice in her head. She ended up dismissing the thought of liking Robin from her mind, and finally shutting up the voice. She turned on the T.V. and flipped through the channels, looking for something to watch. She ended up stopping on MTV and watching some music videos. As she watched, she still only thought about Robin. Listening to Broken by Seether and Amy Lee, She finally got some sleep……
As she slept, she dreamed about the night Slade came back. She remembered how Robin caught her in mid air as she fell off the building. She remembered how he held her in his arms so caringly. She wondered what would have happened if the other titans didn't show up, and it was just him and herself.
As she replayed the night in her dream, it changed. Instead of the others showing up and taking them home, he sat there, with her in his arms, just smiling. She looked at him as he moved his head closer to hers and softly pressed his lips against hers……..Then she woke up, remembering the dream, wondering what would have happened next. "Damn It!" she yelled, not wanting to wake up. But it was 7, and the titans needed to begin another crime fighting filled day...
