Now, I'll have to start things off with the pairing I have the most experience writing: Raven/Robin. Oh, shut up, flamers, I don't want to hear it. I'm sick, and I don't need to hear "Well, I've read better", because I'LL BE FORCED TO KILL YOU. HA, HA, HA. Thanks a lot, and don't forget to suggest your own ideas! LURVE!
Raven/Robin
Titled: Juvenile
A dark empath sat cozily on the blue couch in Ops. Center. Her purple orbs scanned the page of an Azarathian novel, as she occasionally took a swig of steaming tea. Raven glanced up from the tan pages to stare at the rising sun in front of the tower. Clouds danced along the horizon, the orb lighting them with several different shades of orange and pink. Flocks of birds swayed lazily in the air as their wings caught the morning breeze. Seagulls landed on buoys in the ocean, or skimmed the water in pursuit of breakfast.
The hissing sound of the door to Ops. Center sliding open barely shook Raven, as she averted her attention once again back to the print in front of her. She didn't move to see who it was, as she knew that the person would make themselves clear in time. She took another small sip of tea, finding the warmth flowing down the back of her throat soothing. It was, as usual, herbal, but this morning carried a hint of lemon.
"Smells good," the Boy Wonder commented, as he slipped into the kitchen, "Mind if I have a packet?"
"Go ahead," Raven answered simply, her eyes not moving from her book. "There's hot water still on the stove."
The empath heard cups clanking in the kitchen with a few rustling sounds, before Robin walked back out, a cup of piping hot tea in his hand. He blew over the top, causing steam to create a cloud in the air, before taking a sip.
"Mmm…Do I detect a splash of lemon?" Robin asked, his usual detective smirk plastered onto his face.
Raven nodded, taking a sip of her own drink.
The two birds sat in silence for a few minutes, the only noise being the crinkling of pages as Raven turned them, and the cawing of seagulls outside the Tower.
"Want to go for a walk?" Robin asked casually, as he set down his now-empty mug.
Raven glanced up at him. "Why?" she inquired.
"Just to get out. Because not many people are up at this time, so it'd be nice and quiet," Robin answered.
"It's nice and quiet here," Raven pointed out. "And it doesn't require listening to loud birds and car horns."
"Aw, come on, Raven. Come with me," Robin prodded, a stubborn smile glued to his lips. His eyebrows raised under his mask, as he tried to look innocent.
"You're fooling nobody, Bird Boy," Raven stated, a smirk on her mouth. "Give me one good reason why I should leave in the middle of this story to go for a walk."
Robin stood casually, and began walking behind Raven "towards the door". "Well, you don't have to…" he started. Robin suddenly snatched the book out of Raven's hands, and jumped backwards, stuffing it under his belt. "Unless you never want to find out what happens next."
Raven leapt up from the couch, and flew into the air. "What are you, a little kid? That was pretty juvenile. Like a little boy who's stolen his big sister's diary," she stated calmly, raising a black-glowing hand towards him.
"Maybe, but if it's the only way…" Robin said. He turned, and sprinted towards the exit.
Raven smiled briefly, before pulling on her hood, and soaring after him. Robin wasn't far ahead, so the dark bird used her telekinesis to lift him into the air, while removing her book from under his belt.
Robin frowned, and folded his arms once he had been set down again. "That's cheating, Rae."
"Well, so is stealing my book while I'm reading it. Now we're even," Raven said, smiling. She turned to go back into the Tower.
"Please, Raven?" Robin asked again, this time actually sincerely. He walked over to her, tugging on her shoulder like a little kid who wanted some candy.
"Alright," she sighed, tucking her book under her arm.
Robin grinned triumphantly, before gently tugging her hood away from her head. "You should wear your hood down more. Your face is pretty," he said. The bird smirked. "And maybe a little color wouldn't hurt," he joked, motioning to her uniform as the walked.
Raven frowned in mock. "Well, you are a walking traffic light. I guess you know best," she said.
"Come again with me tomorrow?" Robin asked, ignoring the traffic light comment.
Raven smiled, a faint blush in her cheeks. "We'll see, Robin. We'll see."
YAY, there we go to kick off the Teen Titans Lotto Bag! I know it's not very long, but I just wanted to write, so deal! Hope all the Rob/Rae fans liked it, and that you all submit ideas for me! No, really, I'm bored out of my mind here. Well…uh…TA-TA!
