Robin, to put in simply, was annoyed. Annoyed at Raven who just flew away, not allowing him to speak. Raven, who just locked herself in her room and refused to come out. Raven, who made him bother Cyborg from recharging (and he fought with him because Cyborg was severely pissed) to get a ride.
So... why couldn't he get mad at her? Sure, he was annoyed, but being annoyed and being mad were two totally different things. He should be made at Raven for making him run on a wild goose chase, but...
He knew it would be easy to forgive her, even if she was being stubborn.
"Raven! Raven, open this door!" It had been, what, ten minutes that he was standing and knocking at her door? Another reason to be mad, but he wasn't able to be mad at her.
"Raven! Please, we need to talk!" Still nothing.
"Raven... there's been a misunderstanding. I don't lo-"
She opened the door, interuppting his sentence, a scowl on her face proving her annoyance.
"Go away."
He held in his shout of pain when he put his foot in the way of the door, thus letting the door hit his foot.
"...No." He managed to say, still in a bit of pain.
Raven crossed her arms, a glare on her face. "And why not?"
"Because..." He bit his lip, then resumed his sentence. "We need to talk."
"We did talk. And it was a lovely discussion that ended well. Now leave me alone!"
"Don't even think about it!" Robin shouted out, before she could shut the door.
More like slamdamn she hit me hard.
He pried her hands away from the door, and pushed her a little to make some room for him to come in.
"And what do you think you're doing?"
"Trying to have a private discussion." He looked her in the eye. "Raven, there's... been a misunderstanding."
"I don't care. Go away!" Her eyes turned white, and Robin knew he had to stop her in order to stay.
"Listen to me!" He grabbed her by the arms.
"I don't love Starfire!"
"I don't ca-"
Raven stopped in the middle of her sentence, a mixture of shock and confusion on her face.
"W-what?"
She mentally berated herself for sounding so stupid. She refrained herself from smiling when she saw him smile at her.
"I. Don't. Love. Her."
She stayed quiet, unsure what to do with the situation. Here it was, the chance to tell Robin her feelings for him... but...
"And?" Why had she said that?
Oh yea, the feeling of no hope and heartbreak. She really couldn't go through it again.
"Raven. Stop denying it."
"Denying what?"
He came closer to her with a smirk on his face. He brought his mouth to her ear and whispered, "Denying that you like me."
"There's nothing to deny." She whispered back in his ear, playing his game.
"Oh really?" He circled around her, like a predator does to its prey. He came from behind her, placing his arms around her shoulders and whispered into her ear again.
"Then please, explain to me the jealousy from before, and you thinking I loved Starfire, and thinking that I was only your friend..."
"I don't want to be just friends Raven."
Her eyes widened even more than before. "Robin... what are you saying?"
"What do you think I'm saying? You're smart Raven, figure it out."
She closed her eyes, unsure of how to answer. The way he was talking, how he was... holding her... he was basically shouting it out to the world that... he liked her back.
This was what she wanted wasn't it? For him to love her like she did him? But... was she really ready for it?
"You..." She started out. What was she supposed to say?
"Since it's so hard for you, let me spell it out for you."
"I love you, and it's not hard to figure out that you love me back."
"WHAT?" She turned around, still in his arms, but she didn't expect the awaiting kiss Robin gave her once she turned around.

"Robin? Are you still in there?" Starfire asked, knocking on Raven's door. "Simply waiting in Raven's room will not bring her back."
The door opened, which surprised Starfire, seeing as Robin usually didn't even answer when he was in Raven's room, let alone open the door.
"Friend Raven! You are back!" She went to give the girl a hug, but she denied it.
"Starfire, can you keep the hugs for later, I'm really tired."
"Oh all right. And I'm am sorry for my behavior before. I did not mean to misuse your powers.
"It's okay Starfire."
"sPerhaps I will see you later?"
"Yeah." Raven closed the door and turned around to find Robin waiting.
"She gone?"
"She's gone."
"Let's continue then shall we?" He smirked.
She smirked back.
"Let's."

THAT is the end of Sure, Take Advantage of Me. I hope you enjoyed it, I'm sorry for anyone who didn't like it.
Please review! You all really are the best!
