A/N: This is it, the end of the ride. I'm warning you it does end a little bit cliche, but I think it works here. Please review, the more I get here the better any future stories will be, Danke in advance.

Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans, if I did, I would be rich and my stories would be on TV rather than here.


That sorry son of a monkeys uncle... how could he lead me on like that... I shouldn't have ran, and he should be enjoying his own company in Oblivion... how could I not see this coming... you know Starfire still had/has feelings for him, why didn't you figure out he still liked her... you can't blame her... unless she tricked him into saying it... NO! I heard him, he said it and he meant it... besides, Starfire can't trick Robin into anything...

I was pacing the roof, trying not to blow anything else up... unsuccessfully, but I was trying. I know I blew up the coffee pot as I left, and at least one pipe and one vent here on the roof had ceased to exist. I knew that I had to get myself under control or the entire tower was at risk, but that prick hurt me... not like the cuts and bruises I get during battle, no this hurts worse and I can't just wave my hands over it and heal it either... I'm going to kill him... Cyborg is going to have to wait in line... speaking of Cyborg, he's gonna be irate about this... I'll try and leave something of Robin for him to stomp on... right now I have to calm down... come on Raven, you can do this... breathe in the good... what good?... RAVEN!... okay, breathe in the good, got it... breathe out the bad... find your center... there you go, keep breathing and go deeper... it's time for a trip to your mind...

I came out of Nevermore exhausted, every emotion had a different opinion from Crazy (the one that wears a tye-dye cloak and I don't normally want to talk to) saying that she made it up, it was all a hallucination, I could only hope for something like that to be true, to Intelligence saying that maybe he was talking about love in a friendship kind of way and I just misunderstood what little of the conversation I heard, Yeah Right!. Anger was definitely getting some attention with the whole one way ticket to the dark side of the universe idea. Needless to say it was chaotic in there, but I finally got things under control; surprisingly, looking at my watch I now wore, Dang it, it reminded me of him, it only took a matter of 30 minutes in the real world. Breathing in a big sigh I smelled something wonderful, camo... That boy has some balls... well at least I don't have to hunt him down to kill him...

"Welcome back, you look tired. Are you sure you wanna sit up here with me tonight? Maybe it would be better if you got some sleep, our break has got to end sometime and I don't want to be responsible for you being tired and not performing your best out there." said the concerned voice of the lying snake.

"Why, do you want to be with your girlfriend?" I said as I disappeared into my room through a shadow. I can't believe he had the gall to show his face... well, technically he didn't, he hid his face... that's not the point, the point is he showed up on the roof to talk to me after telling Starfire he loved her... arrogant pig-headed boy...

I could hear foot steps coming towards my door. I hoped it wasn't him, but I knew better, everyone else was asleep.

Knock, knock, knock.

I wasn't about to answer the door, I had just spent 30 minutes restoring order in my mind, there was no way I wanted to do that again.

Knock, knock, knock.

They were slightly harder this time, "Raven... Raven I know you're in there, I wanted to talk to you. I don't know what I did to make you mad, but I'm sorry. And I would like you to tell me what I did so I don't accidentally do it again." he pleaded through the sliding door between us. I heard a light thud and sliding noise, I guessed he had leaved against the door and slid to sit on the floor outside. "I'm not leaving til you tell me what I did to screw up, and to answer your question from the roof... Yeah, I would like to be with my girlfriend right now, but she is ignoring me." Wrong answer buddy!

I opened the door in a hurry, he fell backwards and stared at me from the floor. "WHAT DID YOU DO? ARE YOU REALLY ASKING WHAT YOU DID? YOU ASKED ME TO TRUST YOU AND LEAN ON YOU, THEN WHEN I DO YOU LET ME FALL. OKAY, ARE YOU HAPPY? NOW GET OUT OF MY ROOM BEFORE I SEND YOU TO A VERY DARK PLACE THAT YOU WON'T COME BACK FROM!" He just laid there for a second looking confused, so I 'helped' him out of my room, courtesy of a my boot in his side. As soon as he was clear I slammed the door and went to get ready for bed.

I could cense that he was still laying where he landed from his free flying lesson, and was apparently confused, come on you're the detective of the house the least you can do if figure out what you did. I wasn't tired so I just sat on the edge of my bed thinking about the last few days, when I heard him move. I sat there waiting to hear his footsteps fade down the hall towards his room but they never did, why can't he take a hint... I don't like to be played like a harp.

Tap, tap, tap.

He can't really be that dumb, can he?... I think I made myself perfectly clear... I don't need to explain anything to him...

Tap, tap, thud.

I think that last one was his head, ouch. "I think I've said all I want to say tonight, so go away." I managed to force the words out in a flat voice, refusing to give him the satisfaction of knowing I'm mad, I'm betting it's a bit too late for that one. Then I saw something slide under the door, from the bed I couldn't tell what it was. Then I heard him move off of the door, but still sitting against the wall right outside. Hmm, what is going on?... okay, I got to know what the thing is he slid under the door is...

Robin's POV

I put it most of the way under, but left enough that I could tell if she took it. I had planned on giving it to her tomorrow evening when I cooked her dinner, I even had Cyborg in on helping me get the other two out of the tower for a few hours (Wicked Scary XI was out in theater). Oh God, please let her take it... I don't know what I did to screw this up so fast... I thought things were going good... what have I done?... what did I do to deserve this?... Then the thing I had put on the floor moved out of sight completely, thank you, there is a God... I was crying at this point, yeah, me, the leader of the Teen Titans, was sitting outside of Raven's room crying like... crying like the man I am... I just lost the thing that means more to me than anything else in the known world, and I don't know why... so, I figure I have good reason to be crying...

The door slid open, but I couldn't look up, I was afraid she wouldn't like what she saw. She was right when she said it was "hardly fair", and this is the only thing I can give her that I haven't given, and it's the only thing that I can give her that will make her believe me. She will be the first Titan, and probably the first person since I turned to the hero business to get this. I gave her my proverbial leaning post, my crutch, my mask.

I felt her hand on the side of my face, turning me towards her now kneeling frame. As I opened my mouth to say something, anything, I was stopped by a gentle hushing noise in my ear. The heat of her breath was on my neck and the side of my face, I've come this far, just do it... open your eyes and look at the woman beside you... I don't deserve to... she deserves better than me... but she had a choice and she chose to give you a chance... doesn't she deserve to get at least the best you can give her and then decide for herself whether it's good enough or not?... My eyes pried themselves open; red, puffy, eyes that were having trouble focusing on anything; then out of the fog and blurs something started to take shape. Two beautiful amethyst orbs, it was like I was seeing them for the first time, no it was like I was seeing for the first time.

"You really don't know what you did, do you?" came her calm voice, but not monotone but in a caring calm, there was something else there too, pain?... what did I do?... I hurt the person I love... I love Raven and I hurt her, I'm an idiot... I guess I already knew that, I just never wanted to admit it... I shook my head, racking my memories for something I could have said or done to ever hurt her, I couldn't think of anything. Which made it worse, I hurt her and I don't even know how I did it, will someone please just shoot me now?... "They're blue."

These two words just confused me even more till I realized she was talking about. "Yes, they are blue. And I'm going to chance sounding cheesy here, but nowhere near as blue as I feel right now," I choked out, then after a small pause to try and regain some composure I added, "please tell me what I did, I know I hurt you. I don't know how but I do know that knowing I caused you pain is tearing me apart inside."

"I heard you tell Star that..." there was no calm concern in her voice, it was quiet contempt focused towards me. I replayed my earlier conversation instantaneously in my head, then it hit me.

"I loved her?" I finished for her. She looked torn between anger, confusion, and a strange sense of understanding. I knew at that moment that she had heard the end of my talk with the other female in the tower, and hearing what she did must have sounded bad, she heard you tell another girl that you loved her... not to mention it was your ex... but she didn't hear the entire conversation or I wouldn't be here begging for forgiveness... just explain, she'll understand and accept it... and if she doesn't?... good luck with Cyborg...

"Will you let me explain what actually happened?" I pleaded with everything I had.

She reached for her wrist and said, "I'll give you three minutes, no more."

"Thank you. I want you to understand that you only heard the end of that conversation and missed what followed. I told her, let me try and quote myself 'Of course I love you Star, I love you as family. I love Beast Boy and Cyborg as family too.' she then asked if I loved you as family." I had to stop because I was starting to choke up again.

"Two minutes and twenty seconds." she said lowering her arm to look at me, while I finished.

"I couldn't answer at first, I wanted to say yes, I loved you as family. But I couldn't, I couldn't do it." looking up at Raven I about broke down and started bawling again, but I knew I was running out of time so I forced myself to go on. "I couldn't say I loved you as family, because I love you differently. I love you in a way that I can't explain. I don't know if I could keep going if I didn't have you... I love you, Raven, I'm in love with you, I want you to love me. Do you love m...?"

Beep, Beep, Beep!

I was cut off by that little piece of Devils' machinery again. I closed my eyes to curse myself for not being fast enough for a second time, when all thoughts were scrambled by the return of her hand to the side of my face, and a new sensation... her lips were on mine. She's kissing me!... she doesn't hate me... this is amazing... It took a second for my body to catch up with my mind and react, my arms wrapped around her pulling us closer. I felt the fingers of her other hand running through the back of my hair, I had a hand on the small of her back and one had found it's way up to her neck.

When we broke apart, I could feel her still there. Wow, that was, scratch that is, amazing... 'glad you liked it'... what was that?... I didn't think that... 'no, I did'... I opened my eyes to find myself once again lost in a deep purple abyss. 'That explains the staring, you just kept getting lost (giggle)'... I don't giggle, and I already knew I got lost... that only leaves one explanation, Raven?... 'yes, Robin? Oh, and to answer your question, yes I love you too'... 'are you just going to stare or are you going to kiss me again?'... I can't decide which is better... 'well, then lets try the kiss again, you've done your share of staring, you should know what it feels like'... I guess I can't argue with that logic... And before I even got a chance to try, she pulled me into another mind shattering kiss.
