I've always loved the friendship between Robin and KF, and after watching Young Justice, it just grew. So I just had to put it in the story.
Jealousy
Robin had no reason to be jealous.
Raven was just his best friend, it wasn't as if they were together or something. So what if she and Starfire were currently acting like lovesick girls the moment they saw Aqualad? Who she liked was none of his business.
Besides, Starfire obviously liked the Atlantean as well, and the Boy Wonder didn't seem to have any kind of problem with that.
So why did he feel so damn angry whenever the half-demon's attention was on Aqualad? It wasn't right, Batman would have his head if he ever found out about this. Robin had already gotten the 'girls are distracting' lecture and he didn't really feel like reliving that experience.
But seriously, did she need to have those glazed over eyes whenever she watched him? And...was she drooling?
After the Brotherhood of Evil was defeated, Beast Boy suggested they throw a party with all the Titans. Robin had thought it was a good idea, and from that point on, Cyborg and Bumblebee had taken over.
The Titans leader had to admit; those two knew how to throw a party.
And although Starfire had gotten distracted by Speedy (she always wanted to learn how to shoot arrows for some reason) Raven wasn't as easily distracted.
The Atlantean was talking to her about his hometown, and she was listening with rapt attention...or she was just pretending to and was staring at him; Robin could never be certain about the half-demon.
The Boy Wonder wanted nothing more than to step in and drag her away for some reason. But he would just look stupid and she'd probably kill him.
His masked eyes caught something that could help him with the situation.
He walked up to the pair and faced Aqualad. "Sorry, Garth. I may need to borrow her for a moment." He 'apologized' before grabbing Raven's hand and dragging her with him.
"Robin, what are you doing?" She hissed, her voice anything but amused.
He flinched and looked back at her. "Sorry, but Jericho is kinda being terrorized by Teether..." He explained a bit lamely.
That caught Raven's attention rather quickly and she stopped struggling against her leader; allowing him to drag her with him. "I told Melvin to look after Timmy and Teether!" She muttered, but now that she couldn't see the girl and her brother, she was starting to get worried.
"Don't worry, Melvin is helping Timmy look for his blanket." Robin assured her, sensing her worry.
He smiled when she breathed a sigh of relieve, she pulled away from him and hurried to take Teether from a very startled Jericho. (The toddler was sitting on his head as if it was nothing)
He watched as Raven apologized to the silent Titan and carried Teether with her so that he would stop crying.
"Thanks for the heads up," she said as she passed Robin and went to look for the other two kids. This was the last she was leaving the kids alone.
"Need some help?" He asked, smiling.
She just shook her head. "No, I got it. They're probably exhausted right now, it should be easy to get them to sleep."
The Boy Wonder wasn't even surprised when a certain speedster raced by and stopped beside him after Raven had left. After years of being friends with the speedster, he got used to his random appearances.
"You are the worst at hiding your jealousy!" Kid Flash laughed.
Robin nearly choked on his spit. "Wally! What the hell?"
Kid Flash rolled his eyes before suddenly appearing before his best friend. "Come on, Dick. For working with Batman almost your whole life; you kinda suck at being subtle." He grinned.
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Riiight, so you didn't just imagine different ways to kill Aqualad?" The speedster sang.
"Wally!" Robin punched him in the gut, rolling his eyes when his childhood friend just laughed and ran so he was on the other side of the couch, far away from Robin.
The Boy Wonder stayed where he was, he knew he could take down Kid Flash if he wanted to. Wally may be fast; but Robin was stealthy and knew the speedster like the back of his hand.
"I have no reason to imagine killing Garth," he growled.
"Yeah, forgot about your massive crush on Raven?" Kid Flash winked.
Robin's eyes widened and he was quick to silence his best friend. "I should've never told you about that..."
Flash's nephew shrugged. "Even if you didn't, I would've figured it out. I know you, Dick."
"No you don't," Robin scoffed and crossed his arms.
Kid Flash jumped off the couch and speeded towards the Boy Wonder. "You sure about that, Mr. Mathlete?"
Robin cursed.
Kid Flash smirked when he heard Raven's footsteps heading their way; Robin just froze.
"Well," he patted his friend on the back. "Your girlfriend's coming so I better go. But seriously, you should do something; Aquaman's sidekick seems to have a thing for her." With that, he raced away; heading for Jinx.
"They're asleep." Raven breathed, taking a seat on the couch and just looking adorable when she looked up at Robin with big, amethyst eyes.
Robin sat down beside her and was a little surprised when she laid down and placed her head on his lap, one of her arms covering her eyes as she sighed, not caring that there was a party and any of the Titans could walk in any moment.
He chuckled and ran a hand through his hair. "I take it, it wasn't easy to get them to sleep?"
"No, remind me to kill Beast Boy later; he gave Melvin too much candy and she was on a sugar high. Not to mention I already had a headache from the alcohol earlier." She groaned.
Robin blinked in surprise. "You drank?!"
She shook her head. "Just a shot, Bee made me, she probably mixed a couple of drinks because it was pretty damn strong."
"No, you're just a light drinker."
"Don't make me blast you."
Robin grinned and continued running his fingers through her hair, smiling when she sighed contently. "So...I've been thinking."
"That's usually a bad thing," she commented.
He rolled his eyes but continued talking anyway. "Do you have a thing for Garth?"
Raven removed her arm from her face and looked up at his masked eyes, a smirk on her face; similar to the one she had when they learned Beast Boy's real name. "I never thought I'd say this, but Roy was right; you are jealous."
He froze, wondering just how Speedy knew about this. "Wait, what?"
She rolled her eyes. "If you haven't noticed, Wally and Roy have been hanging out a lot lately, don't you think?"
Robin paled, realization starting to kick in.
"And seeing as Roy is a terrible liar, I got my answers fairly quick. But to answer your question; no, I don't have a thing for Aqualad."
She watched with amused eyes as her best friend stood frozen in place, not quite sure of what he was supposed to do next. She was so using this if he ever said that he knew what to do in any situation...again.
He managed to snap out of it and frowned. "You don't? It's almost like you have heart eyes whenever you're near him."
She blushed, a rare thing for her to do. "I may act emotionless, but I'm still a girl. He's good looking, can you blame me? But then again, so are you..."
"Rae, are you sure you aren't drunk-"
"Forget I said anything; Brave has a tendency to take control whenever I'm exhausted."
"So...you just think he's good looking? That's it?" He clarified.
She rolled her eyes. "Yes, Robin, that's it. Want me to write it on paper?"
He just smirked. "Good."
Before she knew it, he had leaned down and kissed her full on the lips. Both Titans ignoring the alien princess that happened to fly in at the moment and was squealing at the sight; happy that her friends were 'bonding'.
