Robin x Raven

Hair

"You shouldn't have cut your hair, Raven," Beast Boy told the empath as he booted up the Game station. He leaned back on the couch, acting aloof, but was really waiting for her to snap at him. She had just walked into the room, with a book in her right hand, getting ready to read.

"...really?"

Beast Boy jumped and was surprised at her calm response. "Really. Really. You'd look a whole lot of a heck better."

Raven scowled, but she knew he was joking.

"Just kidding!" he said proving Raven right. He drew his attention back to the Game station when Cyborg walked in and wanted to play too. For a moment, Raven watched the scenery around her, but she wasn't really paying attention to what she was seeing. For some reason, Beast Boy's comment made her think. A lot.

Ashamed to be thinking about hair, Raven looked over at the kitchen, where Robin and Starfire were located a small table. They were currently in a deep conversation about the movie they watched last night, happy to be together.

Raven's eyes fell on Robin, who was smiling. She wondered what he was grinning so stupidly at and then she noticed Starfire running her beautiful red hair through her fingers as she talked. Robin shyly rubbed the back of his neck and was mesmerized with every word the alien said. In a matter of seconds, Raven wished she had never looked over at the kitchen table.

If I had kept my hair longer, Raven thought, maybe, just maybe he would notice me too. She gripped her book, and walked out of the room, not caring if anyone noticed.
