This special story is written for Tsukiryoushi, who wrote "Teen Titans: a Musical!"
I love his OC Draco pairing up with Raven so I decided to write this (with permission
from Tsukiryoushi himself). Why? Because I love them! They're so sweet together!
Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans and Draco. Teens Titans belong to DC and Cartoon Network, and Draco belongs to Tsukiryoushi.

On New Year's Eve…
It was a chilling night on New Year's Eve. In several minutes, it would be a start of a beginning of a new year. And that's when the fireworks will begin and it will fill the sky with colorful sparks. But right now, the sky was dark, even the moon is shining at its best.
Sitting the rooftops of the Titans Tower, Raven was meditating. She had come up to get away from the noisy festivity downstairs where the Teen Titans are throwing a huge New Year's Eve party. She just wanted to have some quiet time alone, before coming back downstairs and getting pestered by Beast Boy again.
A gentle breeze flew by, sending goose bumps on her skin. She shivered a bit, but she didn't mind the cold. Both her eyes were closed and she continues to meditate. She didn't notice the footsteps coming behind her.
"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos… Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos…"
"Raven?" a voice called out.
Raven opened her eyes and she spins around to see Draco standing a few feet nearby.
"Why are you here all by yourself?" he asked.
"I just wanted to have some quiet time alone," she replied. She turns away.
"Come back inside, you'll catch pneumonia or something."
"I'm used to the cold."
Draco stares at her for a while, confused. Then he goes to sit beside her.
"Are you okay?" he asks. There was a hint of concern in his voice.
"I'm fine, thank you," she said.
"Raven, are you sure?"
"Yes, Draco, I am."
Then she grew silent. Draco rubs his neck for a minute or two, before speaking again. This time he was looking at the sky.
"Beautiful night, isn't it?"
Raven looks up too. "Yes, it is."
"You're so silent tonight. What's bothering you?" he looks at her.
"Nothing is bothering me! I just want to get some air… to get away from the ruckus downstairs," she told him truthfully.
Draco smiles.
"Yeah, me too."
For some odd reason, Raven began to smile. Draco, you are so nice and concerning, she thought. Maybe that is why I like you.
Draco gently takes her hand, and she began to blush. Her violet eyes and his emerald ones stare deeply into each other. He bends forward and kisses her softly on her lips and she kisses him back. It seemed like five or ten minutes, or several sunlit days, until they end their kiss.
Suddenly, Raven fell unto Draco's chest and hugged him. His face went red.
"I like you, Draco," she says as she breathes in his scent.
Draco, still red in the face, looks sideways to see nobody's looking. Then he wraps his arms around her and hugs her back.
"I like you too, Rae," he said.
They stayed in that position for a long time when the fireworks appeared in the sky. New Year's Day has finally arrived. Draco and Raven quickly turn their attention to the shrill cries piercing in the air like whistles. Bright images and colors lightened up and flashed before their eyes.
As they cuddled close together, Raven realized the night isn't so cold anymore…
