CHAPTER 4

A Night Planned for Two

"Cat?" Raven's dry voice called from behind Catgirl.

Catgirl cracked an eye open. She was stretched out on a lawn chair soaking in the warm sunrays.

"Catgirl?" Raven called again in a slightly more annoyed voice. Catgirl groaned and pulled on a shirt over her yellow bra. "Yes?" She asked.

"Can we…uh," Raven said a bit uncomfortable with what she was going to ask, "…talk?"

"Come, sit," Cat said patting the end of the chair while she scooted up so Raven could fit comfortably.

"What seems to be the problem, Rae?" Catgirl asked warmly, now open for discussion.

"Robin is taking me to the Golden Plaza tonight," Raven said quietly, unsure of herself. Catgirl's eyes widened and her jaw dropped, she was suddenly very interested in this conversation. "You've got to be kidding me! There's only one reason why he's taking you. HE'S GONNA PROPOSE!" Catgirl pounced on Raven, hugging her tightly.

Raven sat there with her eyes wide and in a bit of shock. It was true. It was the only reason why an unwed couple went there. In the back of her mind she knew, but she always pushed it away and someone else saying it had finally made real.

Catgirl released Raven and stared into her awestricken face. Cat fidgeted with her frayed jean shorts. "You're going to get married! I'm so happy for you! Wait, you are going to say yes, right? Can I be your maid of honor? Well, that is, if you want me too. Why didn't you tell me this earlier?" Cat said with a bit of hurt in her voice but it was quickly thrown away when she continued on to her next statement, "We have so much to do!" She spoke in one breath, her ears twitching with excitement.

Catgirl pulled Raven off the chair and dragged her to her bedroom.

Eight hours later, Robin was beginning to get nervous. He had rented a tux a couple of days ago and had eyed it anxiously until he decided to beat his nerves out in the training room.

Now he stood in the living room, his hands shaking, as he waited for Raven.

The sliding doors to the living room opened and Raven stepped through them. Catgirl warned him that she looked different but nothing could prepare him for what he saw.

She was wearing a magenta dress. It was strapless and the bodice fit her nicely, showing off her curves. From her waist down the material was looser and flowed when she walked. Around her shoulders a matching scarf was placed. It appeared that Catgirl had given her extensions, as her hair was swept up in a bun. A sliver locket adorned her neck.

Robin stood there like an idiot with his mouth hanging open. Raven blushed as she walked down the few stairs and joined Robin.

"Shall we?" He asked returning to his senses.

XXXXXXXXXXXXX

Soft music flowed through the room like warming liquid as the couple entered the dining room. A bubbling sensation hit Raven as Robin's hand squeezed her hand a bit tighter as they made their way over to their table.

When Raven sat down she gasped. They were sitting next to a huge window and through it was the most amazing scene she had ever seen. The sun was almost gone and it barely shone over the calming waves. The ocean shown orange and farther east her eyes traveled, the darker the water. A few purple clouds floated lazily in the sky as the sun sunk even lower on the horizon.

Raven sighed contently as she viewed the city. Most of it was in darkness and bright lights shone from tall office buildings and shops that were still open.

"Beautiful," She inhaled taking it all in. "I know…" Robin whispered not taking his eyes off of Raven. She noticed this out of the corner of her eye. Aww, how romantically cheesy.

A male waiter stopped by the table and handed the couple their menus. He formally greeted them and proceeded to explain some of the dishes.

Robin wouldn't have cared if he were telling him the exact location of Slade and how to defeat him. His mind was only on one thing, and she was sitting across from her.
Robin scolded himself as his hands began to shake slightly holding the menu. He opened it on the table, so that he could still read it while he tucked his sweaty hands between his knees.

XXXXXXXXXXX

Half an hour later and almost through the meal it hit Raven hard in the face like someone had thrown a brick at her.

Robin wasn't doing anything different.

He wasn't fidgeting with his pockets or anything. He carried on with normal casual conversation like this was just another one of their dates. Meaningless and used just to get away from the other Titans for a few hours of togetherness.

I mean, Raven thought defending herself to an invisible jury of her consciousness, he hasn't even hinted at asking me or being nerviness about it at all!

Raven scowled to herself as she slumped a bit finishing off her soup.

she said "I've gotta be honest,
you're wasting your time if you're fishing round here."

"…and then she forced it right down his throat, remember?" Robin chuckled, "I still haven't gotten over that," He laughed softly recalling when Cyborg had to eat a ton of to-fu. He looked up from his meal and to Raven. She was sipping her soup with a sour look on her face.

Robin's face fell, she wasn't having fun… not good. He reached out to his wine glass and took a sip. It was still his first glass and normally Robin wouldn't approve of drinking but he felt like breaking a few of his own rules for what he was going to do tonight.

He took another swing of the glass and drained out the rest of the wine. I'll just pay the bill and then pop the question…

and I said "you must be mistaken,
'cause I'm not fooling...this feeling is real"

Robin stood up pulling Raven out of her daze. "I'm going to pay the bill…" Robin said slowly. "I'll be right back, honey," It almost felt weird saying that Robin noted. They normally didn't use pet names. But then again this night isn't normal, Robin thought as he headed for the front of the restaurant.

Honey. Raven thought of that word with disgust. I love you, honey, muffin, pumpkin-cakes. Yeah but do you love me enough to commit and propose?

Raven thought over her own harsh words as she sat at the table alone.

she said...she said "you gotta be crazy,
What do you take me for? Some kind of easy mark?

Robin looked over his shoulder while getting out his wallet. Raven was sitting at the table sipping her wine almost a little too voraciously.

Robin pulled the ring box from his pocket and studied it. All nervousness faded and was replaced by excitement and adrenaline. I wanted to do it.

He wanted to feel her hand in his while he slipped the diamond ring on her finger.
He wanted to see Raven for the first time wearing something other then blue as she happily walked down the aisle wearing a beautiful wedding dress.

Robin's heart pounded in his chest.

"No, you've got wits, you've got looks,
you've got passion, but I swear that you've got me all wrong."

Raven finished off her wine, her mind buzzing pleasantly. She wasn't a strong drinker, as this was her second glass of wine and she already felt the affects.

She smiled warmly as Robin came back to the table. "Hi!" She said happily, her lips making the word slur a bit. Robin held out his hand and helped Raven stand up.

He slowly lowered his left knee and sunk down, still holding Raven's right hand. Raven's eyes grew as she saw him reaching into his pocket.

Her stomach dropped and flipped over as Robin opened his mouth.

"all wrong.
all wrong.
but you got me..."

"Raven," His voice soft and shaky, "When I first kissed you that night on the roof, I felt guilty. No, it wasn't because of Starfire, it was because of you. I felt guilty that I had never taken the chance to know you better. I love you Raven, and I want to be here forever. To share laughs and tears through the years as we grow older. I want to grow old with you," Robin chuckled a bit. "I know that sounds odd but I want to start a family with you and never leave your side. Raven I love you more than anything, will you marry me?"

"I'll be true, I'll be useful...
I'll be cavalier...I'll be yours my dear.
and I'll belong to you...
if you'll just let me through."

Raven still stood there dumbstruck. It was happening, it was really happening. So many things went whizzing through her mind and she had to struggle to keep her powers in check.

Marriage.

Spending her whole life with Robin. Forever.

Having kids during the years. From teaching them how to walk, to spending them off to college.

Growing old together. Wrinkles on the outside but still passionate youths on the inside.

Matching burial plots, resting side by side together. Resting in peace knowing the other is near.

Raven couldn't open her mouth to say yes or even nod her head. Her mind seemed to turn off, as she couldn't move and even her powers lay dormant.

"This is easy as lovers go,
so don't complicate it by hesitating.
And this is wonderful as loving goes,
this is tailor-made, what's the sense in waiting?"

Robin looked up at Raven's bewildered face, her amethyst eyes glowing and shimmering with tears as her hand instantly went ice.

"Please, my dear Raven," Robin repeated. "I love you more than life itself and I couldn't live without you. Will you please be my wife?"

"and I said "I've gotta be honest
I've been waiting for you all my life."

Robin's voice faded away in her mind. Her mind had suddenly gone into overdrive at that moment. She could feel her power building up in her mind like a bottle about to explode from pressure as her mind sorted through her memories of Robin.

Raven grinned at Robin's attempts, "I see..." She ran a cool pale finger down Robin's arm.

Before Raven knew what she was doing, she had closed her eyes and was leaning in towards Robin. Robin's eyelids naturally slid shut as he leaned closer to Raven's beautiful pale face.

His gloved hand made its way around her thin waist as their lips touched. A warm sensation flowed through Raven's body. Incredible feelings flowed through her, the one thing that she wanted...no, desired to do for months was finally happening.

Random objects on the tower's roof were exploding almost like fireworks. It was all too perfect: her long time crush was kissing her on the rooftop. Sunset in the background...

Robin brushed past Starfire and climbed out of the hole on to the other side of the rubble wall.

"Look, Raven, wait!" He called as he climbed out and started running after her.

"I'm here to listen, okay? I like you and I just want to know what's been happening," he placed a hand on her shoulder. She turned around, and his hands moved down from her shoulders to her hands. He held them loosely, not to intimidate her..

Raven felt the warmness of Robin's hands on her own and remembered Michael's cold flesh.

"As you know...well... didn't really know," a small smile crossed his lips, "There's been problems lately about my past. But it's all been taken care of now. Okay?"

Robin nodded. "It's probably best you don't know the whole story," He nodded again. "Probably."

A newer memory next came rushing through Raven's overwhelmed mind:

Raven closed her eyes and lay there for a minute, her upper body rising and falling slightly every time Robin took in or let out a breath. She inhaled Robin's scent and rubbed Robin's hand with her thumb. She loved moments like this, they were alone and snuggling and everything seemed perfect.

She opened her eyes and looked up at Robin, only to notice that he was looking at her too. His mouth was slightly parted and his lips were dry despite the fact that he was holding a pop in his right hand.

Raven shuffled a bit so she was lying on her stomach, "Yes?" she asked while resting one hand on Robin's shoulder and her other forearm under her chest.

Robin closed his mouth and licked his lips, "I have two surprises for you," he said quietly while placing his free arm around her shoulders. Raven grinned slightly, "And what may they be?" She asked playfully.

"Well, the first," He began, "Is we have dinner reservations at the Golden Plaza for this Saturday,"

Raven's jaw dropped and her eyes widened, she gasped and hugged him around the neck so suddenly that Robin almost spilled his pop. She kissed his neck lightly and murmured into his ear, "I love you."

She pulled away and narrowed one of her eyes playfully while raising the other eyebrow, "Wait… what's the other surprise?"

"Now for that, you're going to have to wait for Saturday."

Well it was Saturday right now and she wasn't dreaming this. She wasn't living in a crazy illusion in her imagination. This was as real as it was ever going to get.

Raven pulled Robin up and hugged him eagerly while screaming to the heavens, "YES!"

"For so long I thought I was asylum bound,
but just seeing you makes me think twice.
And being with you here makes me sane,
I fear I'll go crazy if you leave my side."

Everyone in the restaurant turned to look and applauded. Raven pulled away from Robin blushing as he slid the ring onto her finger, a goofy smile adorning his lips.

Raven giggled as she wrapped her hands around Robin's neck and kissed his nutty smile.

Perhaps it was the wine or maybe it was the heated passion the lovebirds shared that drove her to replace the last kiss with another and another.

Finally Robin pulled away for breath and noticed people where still watching them. The couple blushed as their wine glasses exploded from embarrassment.

Robin leaned close to Raven again, "Let's get out of here…" He whispered close to her ear.

Raven nodded in a half-daze.

"you've got wits...you've got looks,
you've got passion but are you brave enough to leave with me tonight?
tonight.
tonight.
you've got me..."

Somehow it had reached all the way to the hallway outside. The couple stood in a loving embrace.

Raven stood against the wall. Her hair was slightly messy as Robin had run his fingers through it a few times. Robin stood propped up by his left hand while his right hand held Raven's slender waist. Raven rested one hand on Robin's right shoulder and her right hand around his waist.

Robin's lips moved from Raven's lips to her earlobe. Raven giggled slightly at the weird sensation as her earlobe slipped between Robin's lips. "Robin," she breathed as he moved down to start kissing her neck.

Raven gripped Robin's shoulder a bit harder when she noticed it. My ring, she thought. Robin had proved his love to her by proposing. What do I have to offer? Her gaze drifted from Robin to the bedroom door. "C'mon," she whispered in Robin's ear.

Robin stopped what he was doing and stood there frozen for a minute wondering if he was actually dreaming or if he was awake.

"I'll be true, I'll be useful...
I'll be cavalier...I'll be yours my dear.
And I'll belong to you...
if you'll just let me through."

The couple slipped into the bedroom. But it wasn't condoms that they should be worried about.

In the shadows stood a manly figure. His piercing blue eyes now faded to a dull gray out of sorrow. Even his raven black hair seemed to be limp. An aura of resentful yearning for the young violet haired vixen surrounded the almost godly man. And if it wasn't even possible his hallow soulless body felt more cold and alone.

But really the fallen angel was no threat compared tothe other figure. The envious alien would prove to be the real disaster as she watched the lovebirds with poison in her eyes.

XXXXXXXXXXX

Their lips never parted as Robin untied the corset-like strings at the back of Raven's dress. His shaky fingers slowly undid the strings.

Raven mumbled, Azarath Metrion Zinthos Azarath Metrion Zinthos, to herself as she ran her fingers through Robin's sweaty hair. She felt her dress slip down and she pulled away pulling off Robin's blazer and her powers working on undoing Robin's shirt.

It flew off and hit the wall as her powers started working on his pants while Robin desperately tried to remove Raven's bra.

"This is easy as lovers go,
so don't complicate it by hesitating."

"I love you," Raven whispered in Robin's ear as they hit the bed.

"And this is wonderful as loving goes,
this is tailor-made, what's the sense in waiting?
This is easy as lovers go,
so don't complicate it by hesitating.
