Hello, my lovelies. I'm back with another chapter! And I am truly sorry that it took so long. First I was on vacation and then when I got back my computer was dead. So finally I am up and running again and ready to resume my stories.

First: A note to my reviewers: Thank you for not losing faith in me even though I didn't update in forever.

Another note: Tecna's back! So glad to see you again! I missed you! (hugs)

Yet another note: I know the last oneshot didn't make any sense, but forgive me. I was probably delusional at the time. So here's another RobinRaven shot. To the reviewer who asked for RobStar…I'll work on it. It's a pairing I've never done, but I'm willing to try!

Another Day

The room was empty as usual at 5:00 in the morning. Empty except for a single inhabitant, the quietest member of the Teen Titans. She sat on the couch sipping herbal tea and thinking. Lately there had been only one thing on her mind, and as she contemplated him, he walked into the room.

"You're up early," the girl said tonelessly.

"So are you," he returned, sitting beside her. She shrugged. The steam from her teacup curled around her face in a misty shroud, placing a thin veil over her face. "You're also very pretty." A blush crept up her pale cheeks.

"You tell me that every day." He nodded.

"I make a point of telling at least one truth daily." The empath glanced at him curiously.

"Why do you do this, Robin?" He smiled, not the over-confident grin, but a gentler, genuine curve of his lips. She suspected that beneath their pure covers, his eyes were twinkling merrily.

"It's the only real time I get with you. Worth getting up a couple hours early for." Raven smirked. "Seriously, it really is. When else would I ever get to just be with you?"

"I don't know. I don't do public displays of affection."

"See?" She glanced at him. "What are you looking at me like that for? You know I care about you."

"I know…I just feel guilty." He pulled her back against him, despite her idle protests. "Because I can't feel without horrible consequences. So I have to keep it away all the time." Her eyes focused intently on him. "I'm sorry. I wish it didn't have to be that way."

"Raven, will you believe me if I tell you something?" She turned her face to the side and nodded. "I don't care about that." His masked face gazed kindly down at her. "As long as I have you." A smile made its way hesitantly onto her face. Grinning, he tickled her. She shrieked.

"Robin, I am going to kill you!" The boy wonder found himself on the floor a minute later, victim of a pillow's fateful blow. He tapped her knee lightly, grabbing the half-demon's hand when she looked down and pulling her to the ground. She struggled valiantly, but to no avail. His constant training had paid off, she noted, as he held her effortlessly, chuckling. "Someday I will get you for this."

"Someday," he agreed, "but not today." She huffed and wriggled so that her back was pressed against his chest. "I feel shunned," he told her, feigning hurt. The dark queen just ignored him. Robin laughed.

"I know I'm irresistible." She sighed.

"I really should be mad at you." He just smirked. Raven glared at him for a minute, noticing the first rays of light playing across his cheeks and mask. She glanced at the big window; over the horizon, a fiery sun was rising, making the small waves sparkle. He took the opportunity, placing a kiss on her exposed cheek.

"Ready for another day?" She sighed again.

"I suppose."

I hope you liked it:D Kind of short but so what? Please, please, PLEASE review! Thank you!

I'm having a little trouble with the 13th chapter of In the End, so it might be a little while longer. I'm so sorry! I love you!
