Chapter 8: Clean Up
Raven was walking again to the place where her and her emotions talked before. They were all sitting at the same table and drinking tea, but with a slight difference they were all glaring at Timid who was on the other side of the table.
"Look I said I was sorry okay? Don't blame me!" Timid pleaded
"Too late!" Rude hissed
"What's going on?" Raven asked
"Thanks to Timid over there, Robin will never know how you really feeling about him." Happy exclaimed
"What are you talking about?" Raven asked. "I was the one that lost control of things"
"Yes, however She was the one who made you break the candle last night!" Bravery spat
"I SAID I WAS SORRY!" Timid cried
"That's okay, Timid it's not your fault..." Raven said
"YES IT IS!" they all shouted
Raven walked over to Timid and petted her head as a way to comfort her. "No...it's not. It's mine it's my fault I can't tell Robin how I feel about him..." sitting down and making herself some tea.
"Don't worry Rea, I'll fix it just let take over and I'll do the rest!" Bravery spat.
"Really?"
"Yes. All you would have to do is feel brave enough and she'll do rest." Wisdom explained.
"Yea like when you couldn't stop laughing at Robin that night! Remember?" Happy asked
"Okay we'll try it."
"Woo hoo" Rudeness said waving her finger.
"So does this mean I'm off the hook?" Timid asked
"Yes Timid for now... "
"Okay Raven time to wake up." Wisdom reminded
"Okay. Thanks guys..."
I woke up to the sound of breathing and the touch of something firm under me and something in my hair. I opened one eye, it was Robin I was still in the same position as last night. He was holding me in his arms and I was laying on his chest. His fingers were laced in my hair and his arm was protectively around my waist, I lifted my head to see if he sleep or not. With his mask off, his eyes were closed, but he wasn't sleep. He was stroking my hair.
"Finally wake huh?" he asked kissing the top of my head.
"Yea...how long have you been up?" I asked adjusting my head to see him.
"Awhile. I've been watching you sleep. You eyes twitch every so often."
"groan What time is it?" I asked sitting up
"A little after 10. Go back to sleep." he said dragging me back down
"Robin...we gotta stop doing this..." sitting up again
"What?" sitting up with me
"THIS. These slumber parties. It's great, but if we're not an actual couple then...we..can't."
"Well...who said we weren't an actual couple?"
"We never said we weren't,...or was..."
"Well...do you...wanna be...?"
"I do." I interrupted "But I can't..."
"Why not?"
"Don't be stupid...you know why not! My emotions, my powers."
"That never stopped you before.." he said placing a hand on my shoulder
I looked away "It did last night."
"Look Raven I had a dream the other night, I was at the circus again doing a deaf-defying trick. Well the last part of the trick, I fell, but then someone saved me...it was you. You saved me from falling, just like I saved you from falling that night with Slade. Doesn't that mean anything to you?" I couldn't say anything, I didn't have anything to say. He took his hand away and sat up on the edge of the other side of the bed. "I guess your right." he signed I don't know how long we were there in the silence of my room, but it was long. "Look I'm gonna go...let you get back to sleep..so we'll talk later." he got and leaned over to where I was and kissed me on the cheek and left. I blushed and I had to say this for Robin...he's presistant...or stupid.
I knew I couldn't go back to sleep so I decided to start with the cleaning we were gonna do today. The common room needed to be vacuumed and the dishes had to be taken out the dish washer, the windows on the inside needed to be washed and the counter and table had to be wiped down. I let Robin sleep, he needed it after what just happened. I got up and saw that the dishes were already taken out and the counters and tables were already wiped off and clean.
"I took the liberty to clean the tables and stuff, I knew you wouldn't mind." I turned around to see the Boy Wonder, in full uniform, standing in the doorway of the Titan's common room.
"Thanks. I guess I'll do the windows then..."
"Nope already did em."
"Okay... I guess I can vacuum then?"
"Why vacuum an already clean floor."
Okay I was way past confused. He had cleaned already in the two hours we last talked. "Okay so what are we gonna do for the rest of the day?"
"Like you said yesterday: Nothing..." he walked off military style and I was left alone in the clean living room. I couldn't help to think that he did all this for me, I mean we were suppose to clean the tower TOGETHER.
It was around 4 and I walked to his room to talk since we really haven't all day. I was reading and meditating and I guess he was training, probably letting of some steam that I caused. I got to the door and there was no music playing so I figured it was safe. I knocked, "Robin are you there? I just wanted to say thanks for cleaning the living room today, I didn't say it before. So thanks." Still no answer so I turned to leave when a SWOOSH caught my ear. He was standing there, an arm rested on the side of the door.
"No problem Raven, what are FRIENDS for?"
"I deserve that. Look I just was coming up here to say what I said and go to my room okay?"
"Okay see ya later then.."
"Yea maybe."
I walked off without another word, I couldn't believe how painless that was. I was still upset, he cleaned the whole front tower for me and did all this nice stuff for me and all I said was 'thanks', some friend I am. I had to make it up to him somehow...and I knew exactly how to...
"WELCOME BACK TITANS!" was the sign Robin and I put up the next day. It was only a few minutes before the others would be here. "It looks...great Robin..." I said as he put the final touches on it.
"Yea it does, doesn't it?" he said getting down from the ladder. He looked up at his work and then turned to me. "Well I gotta say this weekend was...one in a million.."
"Yea it was great..."
"Look..um...sorry...about well ya know..."
"That's okay Robin...all is forgiven..." I said. He opened his arms telling me that he wanted a hug, so I gave him one. It lasted awhile, we pulled apart just in time too.
"Cyborg is up in the his-ose!" the others were back
"Dude this place is like clean...we get a maid or something?" Beast Boy asked
"OH HELLO FRIENDS!" Starfire said giving both Robin and I bone-crushing hugs. "YOU MISSED ME YES?"
"Yea...Star..fire." I choked
"Wasn't the same without you." Robin choked
'Yea it was a lot quieter' I thought
We were right in the middle of our welcome back party when Cyborg wanted to ask us, "So what did you guys do all weekend?" Robin and I just looked at each other and blushed
"Nothing really. This and that...ya know hung out once or twice." Robin responded
"Really?" Cyborg and BB asked
Robin was gonna get interrogated later so I figure now was a good time as any. I walked over to him and link our fingers together, "Well we did do something else right Robin?" He gave me a very puzzling look. "We decided to take our relationship to the next level." They were all giving me that look now.
"So you are doing the 'going out' now?" (guess who said that)
"Um..I guess you could say that Star." Robin said scratching the back of his head. I felt a slight tighten in my hand I looked up and saw him staring down at me.
"Well alright! This calls for more pizza!" Cyborg shouted.
Beast Boy had a look on his face he was happy, but he also couldn't believe what he just heard. He walked over to me and started to exaiming me closely
"What?" I asked. He didn't say anything, instend he walked over to Robin and investigated him too.
"Um can I help you?" Beast Boy walked back over next to Cyborg; he placed his finger in a square, I'm assuming to get a better looks at us together.
"Yeah I guess they could work." He finally said something.
"What do you mean Beast Boy?" Starfire floated over, we were all kind of confused about what BB was talking about.
"I mean that these two could work out nicely. Raven is the perfect person for Robin to that creepy obsessive stuff with, and Robin can share in Raven's book reading and smart stuff like that."
We were all sparked by Beast Boy's sudden observations, I was glad that he wasn't upset with us, not that we needed his permission to do so, but it was nice that he approved and was on our side.
"Okay, moving on." Cyborg was either that bored with that conversation or too hungry to care. He went into the kitchen and grabbed a few flyers from various pizza places, "Who wants what on what?"
Robin was due to met his new 'birdgirl' on the roof of Titans Tower, Raven was floating in the air enjoying the sunset and the end of a crazy weekend. He felt an impulse and leap forward towards her for a hug, but he decided that it'd be more funnier if he just scared her. Robin made sure to not use the front of his shoes to walk towards Raven and quetlily crept up on her. He knelt down like a lion going after his prey, as soon as felt that he had enough room he lunched forward at Raven. That plan didn't work, Raven ended up doing a back flip just as Robin tried to use his hand to grab her body. She finished her flip and watched as Robin continued off he roof, she use her powers to catch him in midair before any major damaged was done to him, seeing as his ego was bruised...
Raven morphed her powers in the shape of a giant hand grabbed Robin by his cape with the pointer and thumb,
"Nice try Boy Blunder..." putting him down
"Can't blame a guy for trying" Raven let him go and dropped down in front of her.
"For someone who trained with the great Batman, your ninja skills are off." She stated taking a seat on the edge of the tower.
"Eh what can I say, people always do crazy things when they're in love." sitting next to her on the edge. "So what made you change your mind?"
"About...?"
"Us."
"It was something you did..."
"Which was...?"
"You showed me kindness that I haven't seem in a long time. You had no problem spending the weekend with me, you took me on a date,"
"Oh that reminds me, you own me$10.50 for dinner" Robin joked
"Are you going to keep making jokes or do you want to hear more about how great you are?"
Robin scooted closer to Raven, he picked up her cloak and wrapped it him. He snaked an arm around waist and placed his other hand on her thigh.
"Okay, go on..."
Raven just shook her head, "You clean my part of the house, you...made...out with me." she said blushing
"Yea well I wouldn't do it for just anybody..."
"Just for your rescuer?"
"Just for my rescuer..."
She levitated towards Robin so that she's sitting in his lap now, she was so close that he could smell her hair and look into eyes. Feeling romantic he gave her a peck on the cheek. she blushed and looked at her new main squeeze; for the first time she was happy. They snuggled close and enjoyed the rest of their evening together, until some rocks down below blew up.
