Disclaimer: I don't own it. Why the hell would I be writing fanfiction if I owned it? Crazy kids...

AN: This kinda popped out of nowhere. I was thinking of something to tell someone in response to their telling me something and I was like Oh Em Gee. Just kidding. Not really. It was more like Oh crap, better write that down before I forget. Well I only wrote down part and so I forgot. But whatever you know no harm no foul. Anyways, enough rambling...onwards!!!


Raven's not as oblivious as she acts. She knows when someone flirts with her or when they like her. After all, she is an empath.

But she wasn't meant for relationships and she knows that about herself. She acts oblivious as a defense mechanism of sorts. If she doesn't encourage it and acts oblivious, then she thinks maybe, just maybe, it'll go away.

It worked once, with Beastboy. For awhile, she did have a crush on him, but it soon changed into an attraction of a brotherly nature. By that time, she knew of his own crush on her and so she tried to push him away in an effort not to lead him on, and she succeeded there. He got over it soon enough, falling for Terra shortly afterwards.

So she tried to make it work a second time, but this time with Robin. The only difference was that this time, she knew it was more than before. And maybe that's why she pushed even harder this time. Pushed him away, even going so far as to act indifferent, something she hated herself for. Because she wasn't oblivious, and she knew what she was doing to him.

And because she wasn't oblivious, she could see how Starfire felt about him, and she knew that no matter how much it may hurt, it was for the best. For all of them. Because Robin deserved better than some cold, unfeeling half-demon, because Starfire deserved the best, and because she was never meant to experience emotions, let alone have a relationship. So she pushed him towards Star and the others did the same. And pretty soon, she could see his interest in her weaning and his attention to Starfire growing.

And then in Tokyo, when Robin and Starfire kissed, she was torn. Torn between happiness for her friends and her longing for him. She was happy for them, but she couldn't help her nagging doubts that maybe thing could have been different, maybe they could have worked out. "Or maybe," she thought, "it'd be easier to be oblivious."


Okie dokie, so you finished...Let me know what you think, I need some constructive criticism...I mean I'm not quite sure how it came out and are leaving it up to everyone else to tell me. So review please.
