I clearly do NOT own Teen Titans
Chapter 2
Raven woke up lazily but suddenly froze. Her eyes shot open as she felt something next to her; someone, more precisely speaking.
Memories from last night flooded her mind. She felt his arm hug her tightly as he pulled her closer to him. She shivered as his warm breath tickled the back of her neck.
Shit.
Suddenly remembering her exam and how she was probably going to be late by now, she phased out of Richard's hold and started to change desperately into her clothes. She threw on a red sweater and her white lab coat, which was required for her exam.
"Good morning sunshine" a raspy voice addressed her as she tied her hair up. "Leaving so soon?"
But before she even turned to look at him, she phased out of the room and a few seconds later she was standing inside a booth on one of the university's bathrooms, hopefully the one that was near to her class. She rushed through the hallways and arrived just in time as a doctor was calling her name.
"Ms. Rachel Roth…" She entered the exam room, cursing inwardly and scared to death.
It was 5 o' clock when she finally arrived back home. The exam had been quite difficult, and although she had managed to pass, she felt as she could have done a lot better. John followed her inside; he held two coffees and a bag with blueberry muffins. He was planning on taking her out for coffee but the weather was dreadful, a snow storm was coming, so they decided to grab the coffees and head home.
"Let me help you with your overcoat" he said as he placed the coffees and the muffins on the coffee table.
"I can manage, don't wo—" her words died on her lips. Her eyes widened at what they saw.
Just by the middle of the hall there was a massive flower arrangement of white lilies and forget me not's.
"Wow, John, you didn't have to…" she finally said.
"Um… I didn't. I mean, I didn't bring you this" he said motioning the flowers "Seems like you got a secret admirer… check for a card or something"
Raven paced timidly towards the arrangement and looked for any sort of card, but she already knew exactly who was behind this. At the back of one of the lilies she found a little blue paper and quickly hid it from John's view.
"No name, must have been my friend St- Kori, yeah, my friend Kori" she clumsily lied.
"Ok… should we drink these? They're getting cold…" he asked as he sat down.
"Um, sure, let's, yeah, let's drink the… coffee" she snapped out of her train of thoughts and sat on the couch next to him.
The afternoon went by as they drunk their coffee and ate their muffins. John laughed as a bit of blueberry stuff decorated Raven's lips. He leaned over to wipe it off but was interrupted by the buzzing sound of the doorbell. Raven stood up, blushing, and threw the door open, only to find no one was there.
"Who was it?"
"Apparently, no one"
"Well I'm leaving anyway, it's almost eight and I still have some things to do, so. Bye Rachel" he said, kissing her on the cheek.
"Thanks John. See you tomorrow". She replied as she closed the door behind her.
She gasped in surprise as she saw a certain man leaning on her room's doorframe.
"Shit Nightwing, is this how it's going to be?" she breathed out.
"Surprise?"
"Nice trick Boy Wonder"
"What?" he said, closing the space between them with a couple of strides.
"The doorbell trick?" she said raising an eyebrow questioningly at him.
"I had to get rid of him" he confessed, playing with a lock of her hair "Did you like the flowers?"
"Pompous, aren't we?" she said as a smile escaped from her lips and colour flooded her face.
"I heard you were great in the exam, I just wanted to bring you a little gift, is that so wrong?" he gave her a quick peck on the lips and she took a step back.
He caught her hand and pulled her towards him. She looked up and he kissed her softly.
"So you're into coffee now?" he said as he pulled away, tasting the remnants of coffee on her lips.
"Just latte, tea is still my favourite though"
"Great, I can make you some then"
"Aren't you supposed to be fighting crime during the night or something like that?"
"Yes, every single night" he said as he poured some water in the kettle.
"So why are you still here?" she inquired as she noticed that he was not wearing his uniform.
"Well, with the snow storm and the bad weather, the chances of any illegal activities are pretty low, most bad guys don't like to frolic in the snow, you know? Anyway, I have my communicator, just in case"
They sat by the couch silently. Raven looked at Richard and caught him staring at her.
"What?" she deadpanned.
"I've really missed you Rae. It just feels like a dream, and..." he admitted as he stroked her cheek.
"Richard, don't worry, I'm not planning on leaving Blüdhaven. But we need to sort things out. Things are going to get complicated. It all seems great now with your two nights off but..."
"But?" he requested, leaning towards her, resting his forehead on hers.
"I don't know. I'm not sure if this is going to work out and..."
"And?"
She hesitated but replied anyway, not able to look at him directly "I'm scared".
"Rae, you don't have to be" he said in a whisper, his lips gracing hers. He started planting small kisses along her neck. His presence was intoxicating; she was going to give in to him, she wanted to surrender and kiss him endlessly, but her rational side pulled her out of her fantasy and reminded her that they needed to sort things out before they got out of hand.
"What are we?" she finally said.
"Huh?" he mumbled, lost in her.
"What are we Robin?" she repeated, pushing him away softly, and staring intently into his blue eyes. "What do you want from me?"
"Rae I..." he fidgeted with his hands. Something he only did when he was nervous... or lying.
"I knew it. That's what I am to you? A toy? A pet you come and visit when you're sad and lonely?" she confronted him, standing up. Well, actually trying to stand up, because he had a strong grip on her arm and when she tried to pull away, he pulled her down, crashing her body with his, and kissed her roughly, desperately. The lights flickered and then suddenly they went out. They were left in the dark.
"I love you Raven".
Abruptly the lights came back with a forceful glow and they shattered into million pieces of glass.
"Oops?"
