A/N: Isn't great to hear from me again? It took me a long time to think of a break up song for Robin. A lot of my friends and family tried to help, but they all failed and I found the song on my own…Ahh! I love Usher. Oh yeah, the song is 'Take your hand' by Usher from confessions. For all you that have the CD listen to it as you are reading this it's fun to do that. Anyways, I've missed this story SO much. This story is more or less like a prequel or sequel not really sure what to call it. Let me stop blabbing off and let you read. There will be some Robin POV and Raven POV in this chapter and many to come (.)
"" – Talking
'' - Thoughts
'' - Conscience thoughts or is speaking in the persons head
Bold Italic - words to the song That's it.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans, for if I did there would be much pandemonium…no really, but since I don't I just write fantasy stories on what would happen if I did.
Falling for a Raven
Chapter 1
Take your hand
As we all know Robin just went through the whole dream sequence thing to end up in a white room with his guardian angel to find out that Raven never took him back for his dishonesty with him sleeping with Star and is now back to when he was about to break Starfire's heart for the second time. We join Robin as he is dragging…actually guiding Raven to the kitchen area.
" Uh…Robin?"
" Yes, what is it Raven?"" You're holding my wrist."
" What's wrong with that?" Robin asked as he smiled at Raven, who unknowingly started to blush. The sound of something exploding in the kitchen caught their attention.
" Aww man!" cried one of the fellow teen titans. Robin grabbed Raven and the two ran to the kitchen.
In the kitchenThere was a coating of white gook and green all around the room. As soon as they got there Robin said, " What just happened?" The three teens looked at Robin and noticed he was holding Raven's hand. The two guys started making fun of their leader by making catcalls and howling like a bunch of wolves…actually BB turned into a wolf and started howling. Robin let go of Raven's hand and started blushing furiously.
" We should be asking you the same question Rob, but to answer your question BB's dinner blew up. You should have been here when it blew up," Cyborg said as he was pointing and laughing at Beast boy.
" Oh laugh it up tin man, but what are we going to have for dinner…Huh?"
" Let's order pizza."
" All right pizza. We're getting meat lovers…right Rob?"
" Uh, I…"
" No, we can't have meat because I'm a vegetarian…right Rob?"
" Uh…I…"
" Oh please, Robin isn't a vegetarian like you. Robin needs meat to give him the energy to deal with your constant nagging." Something really small past over Robin's ear and he swatted at it and missed.
" Robin."
" Raven, did you just call my name?" Raven shook her head.
" Richard."
' Okay this is getting weird. No one in the tower knows my real name,' Robin thought to himself as he then heard someone whisper in his ear and said, " Richard meet me in your room." Robin then headed towards his room.
" Robin, where are you going?"
" I'll be back, Star," Robin said to the Tamaranian as he left his fellow team mates to see who was calling him by his first name.
Robin's RoomWhen Robin got to his room there was no one there. Robin scratched his head trying to figure out who would probable wanted to speak to him or where this person could be in his room or if it as some type of cruel joke to keep him from his objective if you can even call breaking Starfire's heart a mission, but he had to do it.
Robin's POV
I went in my room and there was no one there.
" This is getting to become a pain," I thought out loud as I then headed for my door. Then that's when I heard the voice again.
" Richard, please don't leave. I'm sorry that you can't see me, but I'm very small," the voice said.
" Where are you?"
" I'm on your bed, it's very comfortable." When I went over to my bed I saw the darnest thing, it was a fairy or maybe a pixie…well what ever she was she was small and petite. I then picked her up and she said " Whoa…be careful with me, I'm very fragile."
" I'm sorry, but what are you? What are you doing it my room? Were you the one that called me by my first name? If you did, what do you want?"
" Whoa… hold on their, Dick. One question at a time. Yes, I'm the one who called you by your real name. I was sent here by Shawnee to deliver a message to you a message. I'm a pixie…Aren't I cute?" she said as she started dancing in the palm of my hand.
" Yeah, but what is the message you was suppose to give me?"
" All in due time, but first don't you want to know my name?"
" I guess so, what is it?"
" If I tell you, you won't remember," she said to me as she made little circles in the palm of my hand.
" I promise I won't forget it, so what is it?"
"Well…okay it's…Angelina."
" Angelina, why won't I be able to…" That's all I remember saying before Angelina threw some type of sand in my face.
" I'm sorry," Angelina said to me as I fell. Before I fell I saw Angelina smiling at me then I blacked out.
Author's POV
As soon as Robin passed out Shawnee appeared next to Angelina.
" I wish you sat him on his bed before you did that to him."
" Well, it's not my fault you wanted me to do it to him. Now help me pick him up," Angelina said as she flew to Robin's right side.
" Maybe I should do it since it is all my fault he's gone through so much pain," Shawnee said as she picked him up with ease and laid him on his bed, " He looks so peaceful when he's sleeping."
" Shawnee, why did I have to erase his memory?"
" I'll tell you later, someone is coming." Shawnee and Angelina then flew out Robin's window then flew into the night sky. As soon as they left Robin's door opened.
" Friend Robin, the pizza has arrived and the others and I were wondering if…Oh, goodnight Robin," Starfire said as she left Robin to dream.
Two weeks later (In the kitchen)
Hey, I feel I could just blow on upAnytime I could just lose control
Caught up in your lovin' every time I feel your touch
Second thoughts, small doubts starts to beat me up
You're everything I wanted before I knew just what I wanted
And hey, hey, you're killing me on the inside
You're the only one I want I can't denyIt had to be six in the morning and our dear beloved friend Robin is up fixing breakfast for a special lady, but as of late Robin's love for her was starting to fade drastically not only that, he was also getting terrible headaches since the incident two weeks ago. They would come and go, but as he would get the headache he would see images of him kissing Raven, then of Shawnee crying, and then Angelina smiling at him as he was falling, he didn't fully understand the images but none the less the pain was unbearable. After he saw all these images his headache would hurt worse and as soon as he would forget the images his headache would go away. Robin thought that if he made Starfire breakfast in bed it would fix their relationship. Oh how wrong he was.
" Almost done," Robin said to no one in particular. Robin was flipping heart shaped pancakes for Starfire. He had already finished making sausages, bacon, freshly squeezed orange juice, the pancakes were topped with freshly cut strawberries, and Robin's specialty, 'Robin's Flip Floppy' omelet, I know it sounds kind of weird, but it's really good everyone that has had it…actually any girl that has eaten his omelet had fell for him. As soon as Robin was done he put all the food on a tray with a red rose in a pretty glass vase and headed for Starfire's room. As he was going to Starfire's room he almost bumped into Raven, who was heading for the kitchen.
" Sorry about that, Raven. It's kind of hard to see over all this."
" It's okay, and besides you didn't bump into me."
" Well, I guess I should get this to Star," Robin said as he started walking towards Starfire's room, " Oh Raven, I made you some tea and an omelet."
" Thanks."
" You're welcome, best be on my way before I actually bump into somebody," Robin said as he smiled at Raven then left to go to Starfire's room.
Raven's POV (in the kitchen)
As soon as I got to the kitchen there it was plain as day. Not only did he make me an omelet and tea; he also made me heart shaped waffles topped with strawberries and blueberries, bacon, and sausages. All this was on a tray with a single purple rose (Yes they come in purple) in a vase. By the base of the vase was a note addressed to me. I opened and it read:
Rae,
I know this seems weird, even I don't know why I did it. But I did, but I wanted to cook for you before I wanted to give Star breakfast in bed. I just hope you enjoy the breakfast I made for you. If you didn't like it tell me what you didn't like so I'll know what you didn't like about it. I was going to bring this to your room, but I don't think I have time.
See ya later,
Robin, The boy wonder .
I couldn't believe what Robin had written to me, and I didn't want to disappoint him by just drinking the tea, so I eat the omelet first.
" Um." As soon as I ate the omelet I think I started blushing and I was floating over the kitchen counter. It was great, and I did try the rest and they were good too, but from whom did Robin learn to cook so well. Not to long as I was enjoying my breakfast Cyborg showed up.
" Hey Rae, did you just get finished cooking?" He then sat next to me and took a big wift of the aroma coming from my food.
" No, Robin did."
" Whoa he fixed you something too."
" Yeah, is there something wrong with that?"
" No it's just that he told me that he was going to…Opps, would you mine if I try some of your waffles?"
" Sure, you can have the rest, but what was he going to do?" Cyborg stuffed the remainder of my waffles and then stalked off, " Cyborg."
" Hate to eat in run, but…" Cyborg said to me as he tipped toed his way to the door leading to the other rooms. He then started running, but was cut of by me. There was no way Cyborg could get past me.
" Cyborg, what is it that you're not telling me?"
Author's POV (Starfire's Room)
Don't know what to do, what to say
I'm not sure what to tell you confusedWhich way, do I take your hand or let go
Do I take your hand or let go
I can't take this feeling much more
Do I take your hand or let go
Don't know what to do, what to say
I'm not sure what to tell you confuse
Which way do I go
Once Robin got to Starfire's room he knocked on the door with his elbow that wasn't one of his smartest ideas. Then there was a sound of Starfire stirring. The door then opened and reviled a sleepy Starfire.
" Good morning, Star," Robin said as he smiled at Starfire, who yawned and said sleepily, " Good morning, Robin."
" Star, I made you breakfast."
" Well, shouldn't you have left it in the kitchen for me to eat it?"
" Well Star it's breakfast in bed, which means you can eat in your room. That is why I put your food on this tray," Robin said to her as he went into her room and sat her food on her nightstand. Robin then sat in a chair that was in her room.
' Robin, you know that you don't love her anymore. What makes you think that making her breakfast will change your feelings for her?' Robin's consciences said to him. Robin shook those thoughts out his head.
" Is there something wrong Robin?"
" Huh…No I'm fine, why don't you sit back on your bed and I'll sit the try across your lap." Starfire nodded and sat on her bed and started enjoying the breakfast Robin had slaved over to cook for her.
Hey, I feel I could just blow on up
Every time I feel your love I get so caught up
It's your kiss it's your touch it's just everything
But I feelin' like I wanna just run away
Can't tell you what I want, but you're everything I want
And hey, hey it's killing me on the inside
'Cause you're all I ever wanted so I can't deny
As soon as she was done Robin moved the tray and lay next to her on the bed. He looked to be deep in thought. Starfire decided not to bother him, instead she snuggled up next to him. She laid her head on his chest and he wrapped his arm around her.
' How is it that I love her and yet I don't love her?' Robin started stroking Starfire's hair without noticing it; ' If I don't love her why am I still with her?'
' Robin, you really need to think about what you are going to say before you do anything you might regret later.'
' I understand that, but I just don't know what I should do. I made her breakfast, but I don't fell any different and my heart isn't rapidly beating when I see her.'
" Robin."
' I just don't know what I should do anymore.'
' Robin, Star's calling you.'
" Yes Star," Robin said as he stared at the girl that was on his chest.
" I want to properly thank you for the lovely breakfast," Starfire said as she kissed Robin, who didn't flinch or kiss her back with the same intensity or more as she did to him. She then broke from the kiss and looked at Robin with disappointment in her eyes.
" Is there something wrong, Star?"
" No, it's just that usually you would…" Robin then peeked Starfire on her lips.
" Do you fell better now?" Robin said with a fake grin.
" Yes, and thank you Robin."
" For the kiss?"
" For everything," Starfire said as she started to fall asleep.
Don't know what to do, what to say
I'm not sure what to tell you confusedWhich way, do I take your hand or let go
Do I take your hand or let go
I can't take this feeling much more
Do I take your hand or let go
Don't know what to do, what to say
I'm not sure what to tell you confuse
Which way do I go
Somebody tell me
Oh, is it that I'm so wrong, I can't say
Or is it my life, so young, careless ways
And in your eyes so much love you wanna give
But the more I hold you in my arms the presser starts to build
Build, build, build, build
Robin then pushed some of the strains of Starfire's hair behind her ear.
' What should I do? I can't keep stringing Star along just because I want her to be happy.'
' I can understand that. Why be with her if your not happy being with her.'
' Yeah and it's also because I love and care about her, but I don't want to break her fragile heart. Other than that I can't let her love go to waste because I can't love her like I used to. But all of this is driving me crazy.'' Clam down Robin, I can understand why you are doing this, but if you stay with her it's just going to drive you more than just crazy.'
' You mean insane because I'm past insane.'
Don't know what to do, what to say
I'm not sure what to tell you confused
Which way, do I take your hand or let go
Do I take your hand or let go
I can't take this feeling much more
Do I take your hand or let go
Don't know what to do, what to say
I'm not sure what to tell you confuse
Which way do I go
" I don't know what I should do," Robin said to know one in particular like as if someone would come up with the answer for him.
' Why not break up with her as softly as you can, maybe she won't take it as bad if you do it in a really nice way?'
' I guess that could work. I'll do it as soon as she…wakes (Yawns)…up,' Robin then fell asleep, while still embracing the youngTamaranian.
A few hours later
A soon as he woke up Starfire was looking at him from where he last saw her before he fell asleep.
" Good evening Robin," she said as she smiled at him.
" Star it's the afternoon."
" No Robin, it's is now almost time for the sun to go away for the moon to awaken and bask everyone with it's heavenly pale beauty."
" That's very insightful Star," Robin said as he and Starfire sat up on her bed.
" Raven told that to me."
" Uh…Star?"
" Yes Robin?"
" I have something I need to tell you."
" What is it Robin?"
' I don't know if I can do this.'
' You can do it.'
" Star, we've been together for quite sometime now, and I don't know how to say this."
" Well then just say it."
' I don't know if I can do it. Look at her she's perfect I can't just let her go.'
' But you have to or it might get worse for you two if you're still with her and the pressure starts to build up and you can't handle it.'
' Okay, no holding back.'
' Right, we're in this together.'
" Star, I can't keep this charade up with you anymore. Star, I don't love you anymore." His words bore a hole into her heart. Starfire then started crying and started saying,
" What did I do? Did I offend you? Is it because I amugly?" Robin just sat there, " Robin please tell me why?" Robin got off Starfire's bed and headed for the door he then stopped at the door and said," There's nothing you can say to change my mind or for me to stay with you. It's over Star…I'm sorry," Robin said as he then left Starfire as she let out a scream, which made the tower shake. Robin put his back to Starfire's door and said, "I'm sorry." Robin then stalked off to the roof. Starfire then started crying. As Robin turned to go to the roof he bumped into Raven, who was reading one of her books.
" Sorry about that," Robin said as he picked up her book, " Hmm…'The Raven', isn't this a little…I don't know dark and gloomy?"
" It's not dark it's just misunderstood. It's quite intersecting, if I do say so my self." Raven then started explaining something's about the story. Robin wasn't listening to a word she was saying…just kidding, he was listening it's just that he was thinking,
' Raven is really smart, and insightful. Gosh, Raven looks…Stop thinking perverted thoughts. I just broke up with Star I should be grieving, but she's standing there looking all…'
" I can see that."
" Is that Star crying?"
" Uh…I got to go, maybe you can explain more about this book to me later," Robin said as he ran off to the roof to think. Raven stared at Robin as he ran.
' What have you done boy blunder?'
In the kitchen
" What was that?" Cyborg asked as the tower shook then stopped. Beast Boy looked at Cyborg and shrugged.
Take your hand or let go

A/N: I do believe that was quite long since it is 10 pages long, if not I'll try to make the next one longer. This isn't what I wanted after Angelina told Robin how comfortable his bed was, but I didn't save, so I tried my best to remember what I typed, but if I do say so myself it's pretty good. Anyways, thank you to people that reviewed for It was all just a dream or was it? I can't believe no one knew what Robin was talking about to Shawnee to make her smile. I'll tell you…have you ever watched the Simpsons? Well…it's the episode when the have a film festival and everyone makes their own movie. Anyways, Barney made a black and white film and at the end he said "Don't cry for me I'm already dead." That was a funny episode. I think I'll answer your questions on the other story herrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeee (Robin pushes KBF away from the computer)
Robin: I'll answer your questions, while KBF takes a walk. Now for:
Elena: We all loved the ending. Well actually when we rehearsed that she tried to ripe my arm off, but KBF said don't kill me. I tried not to cry, but KBF keep putting onions by my eyes before we started. I think they're amazing too because she puts so much emotion and feeling into making it feel so real. She will be doing a lot more Rae x Rob stories to let you know, and we will be looking forward to a review from you.
Mirumo: No problem on you being on vacation things happen. KBF just loves reading Rae and Rob stories and writing them. She read that story, but when she was going to review it was gone. But none the less it was GOOD and sad, but she really enjoyed it. The song that was in your story couldn't fit with what she wanted, but thanks for giving her a song idea.
ultimateforces9 – Huh…what is there not to understand we know it's confusing, but that is what made it great…sort of. And about the name Dick it's my nickname that Bruce always called me.
KBF: (She walks up behind Robin and hits him over the head) You moron…Thank you all for reviewing and I hope I get a lot of reviews for this. If you can give me a song idea for the next chapter where Robin is on the roof thinking to him self it will be greatly appreciated. I was thinking either 'Stand by me' by Ben E. King or 'Lonely' by Akon or maybe that song by Christy Carlson Raymano. I had trouble doing the Starfire and Robin fluff, but I was about to gag typing it…no seriously. I had to stop a couple of times during those parts. PLEASE REVIEW as long as you don't go on the pairing that is going to happen it will be fine. As always TTFN Ta ta for now.
