Enjoy! thanks everyone for the reviews and faves :D

Again, I do not own the Teen titans

Everyone remained silent; their mouths fell open. They kept looking from Nightwing to Raven, and from Raven back to Nightwing. Raven found herself gaping at him and closed her mouth quickly as she took in what had just happened.

"Is this a joke?" Changeling managed to ask.

"Yes this is a joke! You should have seen your faces!" Raven lied, trying to sound teasing.

"Rae, you're a terrible liar" the masked hero said, sighing and getting a hold of her hand "They should know"

"What? Really? You two have been... eww, gross" the green friend exclaimed as he threw his arms up.

"I can't believe no one told me about this... what about your big brother? Huh?" Cyborg finally spoke.

Starfire remained silent, her eyes glued on the floor. Raven sensed her friend's sadness and confusion just as the alien excused herself out of the flat.

"Star, where are you going?" she asked as she followed the red head down the hall and got to her just before she stepped into the elevator.

"I do not wish to stay any longer friend Raven; I do not feel 'the ok'"

"Star, I wanted to tell you about Nightwing and me but... I didn't want to hurt you. You're my best friend"

"I am hurt friend, but I am also confused because I feel, at peace. I want you to be happy and I want Robin to be happy. And if you two are happy with each other, then I should be happy... I will be happy"

"It's okay Star if you're mad at me. I understand if you are angry"

"Oh friend Raven! I could never be mad at you, you are my best friend too! What I feel is, how do you call when something is sweet and sour... Bittersweet! I feel bittersweet. I feel content for you but at the same time miserable, because I do not have anyone special"

Without thinking Raven hugged her friend tightly and felt relieved when Star hugged her back

"You are a wonderful person Star, there's someone for you out there, I know you'll find him, you just have to be patient".

"I thought we had agreed to keep our relationship private Richard. I specifically asked you not to tell them" Raven argued as she placed the dirty dishes on the sink. The other ex-Titans had already left, leaving the birds alone to clean up the mess.

"I'm sorry. They were getting on my nerves. Plus, they are our closest friends, they deserved to know" he said as he was finishing with the table.

"Yes, but you told them just because you couldn't handle your jealousy"

"Yes, I couldn't. Sorry for being human Raven" he said striding out of the kitchen; he stopped in his tracks as he heard her murmur to herself something he was not able to understand. He went back to where she was and forced her to turn away from the sink and face him. "What were you doing at Speedy's room?"

"Curious aren't we Boy Blunder?" she teased him, but as she saw his serious expression she added "Nothing you need to worry about, we were just talking"

"Just talking. Don't lie; I know you're hiding something from me"

"We were talking about something important"

"I don't buy it, in his room? Really? Talking?"

"Don't you know me at all? Do I look like a one-night-stand type of girl? We were in his room because we needed privacy. I needed help with something... someone, actually. I was afraid and Speedy was the person with some answers" she said slipping away from his grasp.

"Afraid? Is this for real? You needed advice from Speedy?" he eyed her as she sat on top of the counter.

"Yes because he knew you. I was afraid of you. I was in love with you, and I didn't know what to do with it. I was too afraid to tell you, and as the team was crumbling apart, I decided it was best not to tell you. Speedy, on the other hand, advised that I should tell you, right there, that night. Happy?"

Raven rested her head on her hands, too embarrassed about the whole situation. Nightwing approached her silently and removed her hands from her face softly; he held one of her hands in his and laced his fingers through hers. With his other hand he cupped her face, rubbing his thumb gently against her cheek. She finally looked at him and he kissed her quietly, his lips barely grazing hers.

"I'm sorry Rae" he apologized resting his head on the crook of her neck, as she slightly towered over him because she was still sitting on top of the counter.

He felt her hands on his shoulders as she slowly pushed him away, he looked up at her and this time, she kissed him. Softly, sweetly. But something in her changed; she deepened the kiss anxiously as she wrapped her legs around his torso. One of his hands went to the back of her neck, the other one wrapped around her waist as he lifted her up from the counter and carried her to her room. Still tangled with one another, lost in the kiss, Richard bumped accidentally into the doorframe.

"Nice one, Dick" raven whispered against his lips.

"Shut up" he retorted as he kept on kissing her.

He laid her down on her bed, carefully, so as not to crush her with his weight. They broke apart, gasping for air, breathing heavily and staring into each other's eyes.

"Are you sure?" he asked caringly. They had been dating for six months, but nothing went far from passionate kisses. He wanted to be sure Raven was okay with it, that she too wanted it. He wanted her to feel safe, and loved.

"Are you sure Boy Blunder?" she asked back.

"Raven I'm serious. Are you sure about this?"

"Yes, besides the neighbours won't notice the power is gone until the morning" she teased playing with his hair. His eyes were filled with concern. She finally added, staring directly into his blue eyes "I love you Richard Grayson"

That was it. That was all he needed to hear. He crashed his lips down on hers. He tangled his hands with her hair and she began to search for his suit's zipper. When she finally found it, she slid it down roughly and his perfect chiselled body was revealed. He softly pulled the hem of her dress up, and tossed the blue dress away, almost in synch with her. He quietly trailed kisses along her body; her legs, her belly, her arms, her neck, and finally, her lips again. She slipped from underneath him and managed to swap their positions. Before Richard knew it, she was on top of him, straddling his waist. He was marvelled by her beauty, her violet eyes shone in the darkness, her pale skin seemed to glow under the faint moonlight that bathed the room. She leaned down on him and began to trail kisses down his neck. Her lips were working their way up to his jaw when abruptly, they were interrupted.

No, it wasn't a monster, it wasn't the end of the world.

It was Nightwing's communicator buzzing angrily.

They continued kissing, but the communicator kept on ringing. Finally Raven gave up and fell on her back, freeing him from her intoxicating presence.

"Pick it up" she growled. "Pick the damn thing up"

She felt the weight of her bed shift as he stood and answered the communicator; she hid her face beneath the pillows, frustrated. Nightwing removed the pillows and pressed his lips on hers innocently.

"I'll be back soon" and with that, he was gone into the night.
