A/N: Again, nothing big and nothing too meaningful… and be truthful, it didn't come out as I had planned, but I still like this theme.

But as I said before: Don't except too much.

"Are you afraid of death?" the question was whispered softly into her ear… so softly that for a moment Raven thought she had just imagined it. But when she felt Robin's fingers on her bare back, she knew that she indeed heard right.

She rolled around in the bed, so that she was lying on her right side and now she could look into Robin's blue eyes.

"Are you afraid of death?" he asked again and his fingers were ghosting over her cheeks… to her nose… and then to her lips before tracing her jaw.

She didn't have to ask him where the question came from or why - even after they had made love - his fingers were still examining her body and her face.

Because Raven knew the reason: Today had been of those days, Raven had been close to die and only Starfire's quick reaction got her out safely.

And this was Robin's way of making sure that it won't happen again… in his weird, complicated Robin-way.

Raven knew that, but nonetheless she couldn't form the words to assure him that it won't happen again.

So, without pondering… without really thinking about his question the sorceress answered. "No…"

And before Robin could ask why or could protest, Raven spoke again, "Death is nothing to be afraid of."

And it was true: Raven wasn't afraid of death. She never had been.

During her time in Azarath she had grown up with the knowledge of death waiting for her everyday.
And even after she had been able to defeat Trigon, Raven wasn't afraid of death.

Death was inevitable and just like breathing it belonged to life. There's no reason to fight it.
Death is something you have to deal with… something you have to accept… something you can't argue.

No, Raven wasn't afraid of death.

"Then what are you afraid of…?" Robin's voice could be heard again and he was looking at her with such a serious and open and longing look that Raven couldn't help herself, but answer his question.

Just a year ago, Raven had denied having any fears at all, but the incident with the movie 'Wicked Scary' and her time with Robin and her friends had showed her that it wasn't a weakness to admit fear.

"I'm afraid of living…"she trailed off and Robin's widened for a split second before he opened his mouth and began to speak.

"Rae, you can't be serious. You-"

Raven pressed her finger to his lips and silenced him effectively. Slowly she closed the small gap between their faces and pressed a chaste, sweet kiss to his lips.

"I'm afraid of living… without you," she whispered softly and before she could say anything else, Robin had captured her lips in needy and grateful kiss.

"I love you," he pulled away long enough to whisper those loving words.

Raven's answer was another kiss and a beautiful smile.
