Authors Note: This is just a short Rae and Rob story with a plot device as old as Neighbours. Uninspired? Perhaps but it is fun to write.
Disclaimer: I'll tell you a secret, I don't actually want to own the Teen Titans. At least this way if the writers ruin it I share no blame. I'm happier writing fan. fics.
It was sunset. Raven sighed as she felt the last golden rays wash over her, helping her meditation as she forced away all of the days concerns.
"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos. Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos…" The sorceress stopped as she felt a very familiar presence behind her. She dropped from her levitation, smoothly standing from her previous lotus pose. She turned, her long blue cloak snapping slightly in the spring breeze, and smiled at the only one whom she would gladly interrupt her meditation for.
The ebony haired Boy Wonder felt his heart skip at the sight of the sorceress in front of him. She was beautiful, her cloak parted slightly to show her perfectly shaped legs and her luscious curves but that wasn't where her beauty really lay. Her true spirit was contained on her flawlessly moon bathed face, framed by her shoulder length violet hair, her forehead adorned with a red crystal above her mesmerising amethyst eyes that shone forth with more strength than the youth had ever seen before he had met her. He sighed. He could stare at her for hours, to him she was perfection embodied but after his little speech she would probably never look at him again. He had to do it though, he couldn't stand not knowing her feelings any longer. He had to tell her…
"Robin? Are you all right?" Robin was jolted out of his thoughts as the empath spoke his name once more, her concern growing for her fearless leader. She picked up a whisper of nervousness before he shut his feelings away once more. She sighed, normally she hated others emotions invading her mind but with Robin… sometimes she would've given anything to know what he was thinking but whenever they started to talk something interrupted them. Usually Starfire, Raven internally winced as she recalled the aliens flirting with the Boy Wonder. Not that she had any claim to him of course, it was obvious the pair was made for each other, it would just be nice for it to be less obvious now and then. Although Robin had never expressed his feelings for the Tamaranian princess… she quickly shut that thought down. She'd been over that line of argument far too many times. Anyway Robin wanted to talk, it must be something very important to him she realised as she watched him anxiously clear his throat.
"Raven…" the youth broke off from his speech as he gazed into her hypnotic eyes. He couldn't remember what to say next. He'd spent the last three days working on the best way to tell her and he'd forgotten all of it. He smiled as he lost himself in her eyes, his tension visibly draining. Not allowing himself to think for one moment of the consequences he closed the few feet distance between them and leaned forward. His lips brushed hers in a soft kiss as his arms closed around her. He deepened the kiss as her eyes widened in shock, just as he was about to pull away he felt her gentle response. With a passion Raven had never seen in him before, Robin pulled her closer, the kiss becoming more passionate with every second. Robin felt the need for oxygen begin to rise in his lungs but ignored it. The only thing he cared about was the sorceress in his arms as she leaned into him.
Suddenly the Titans alarm broke through the spell and the pair broke apart, both gasping for air. Raven put her fingers to her lips as if to relive the kiss as the two birds stared at each other for a few seconds. Neither knew what to say as they straightened up and stepped back from each other. Suddenly Robin regretted his actions, Raven looked shocked, he had moved too fast… what if she didn't feel the same…
"We'll talk after?" Robin winced at the pleading in his voice, he didn't want her to think of him as needy. Raven didn't notice and could only dumbly nod to his entreaty as she phased through the floor towards the living room. Robin sighed before turning to the door leading inside. That did not go according to plan. He smiled as the memory replayed itself, she'd felt far more perfect in his arms than even his imagination could have believed. Her scent of lavender and violets followed him as he ran down the hallway to join the rest of his team.
