Hey! So I got a longer chapter finished like I said! I hope you like it!

Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans. And it breaks my heart.

"Wow you're grumpy."

Raven scowled in response. This was unbelievable! After she had agreed to spend the night with him to get her book back, he was being even more annoying than when she was fighting him! (And that was saying something) He had suggested they walk around the pier first and, as he put it "save the fun stuff for later". Although his interest in her wasn't entirely bad, in a way it was actually nice-

What is wrong with me? she chided herself. I mean, what would happen if one of my friends saw me with Red X? Robin would have a fit.

she sighed.

Why does my life work out like this? Starfire gets every guy chasing after her without even trying. And I get the total creeps like Adonis and Malchior.

Her heart burned at the thought of the dragon. Remember what he did, she reminded herself, He only broke your heart because you trusted him with it, and he used it against you. The sound of X's mechanical voice brought her out of her head.

"Raven, you okay? Rae?" he spoke, looking at her worriedly.

"Of course, I'm fine. Thank you." she replied icily.

She could sense his frown as he looked her in the eyes.

She shifted slightly under his unwavering glaze.

"You looked really pale for a sec there Sunshine. Sure you're okay?" he asked eyes still gazing at her with concern? She wasn't used to someone eyeing her in that way. Frankly it was unsettling and made her wish for a cloak. Summoning her fiercest glare Raven crossed her arms and looked him in (what she hoped was) the eye with a look that said Don't ask again.

The roll of emotions that suddenly poured out from him almost knocked her over.

"Gee Sunshine, if looks could kill then I'd be half-way to hell now," he joked, laughing at her expression.

"Don't look at me like that," she spoke angrily, "It makes me uncomfortable."

"Why?" he asked softly.

"It just does," she snapped.

"I'm surprised at that," his voice dropping to a whisper, "I would think your boyfriend looks at you like that all the time."

"I don't have a boyfriend," she replied stiffly.

"Oh."

Raven's mind reeled. Oh Azar's name why was he doing this to her? Asking if she had a boyfriend? It was probably just some way of his to rub salt in the wound. But it hadn't seemed like he was asking to be cruel, almost, if he were hoping she didn't have someone.

"So," he said clearing his throat nervously, breaking her out of her thoughts,

"What would you say to food? Or would you rather just glare at me?"

he smirked as she did indeed send him a glare that would rival one of Batman's.

"Okay, okay." he spoke putting his hands up, "But we both do need to eat."

She frowned.

"Fine, just so no one sees us together."

"Aw, are you ashamed of me Little Bird?" he laughed.

"Pretty much," she said, placing her hands on her hips.

"Good enough," and with that he grasped her small hand in his and, before she could protest, gently pulled her off in the direction of food.

After they had gotten Chinese take-out from one of the restaurants on the pier they sat down to eat at one of the tables over looking the water. At first she only ate and pointedly ignored him, but he constantly cracked jokes, she couldn't seem to hold on to her scowl.

Although she was curious what in the world he planned to do with food with a mask on. What if he were to take it off? But when they took out the food he simply peeled up the mask to revel a grinning mouth and slightly pale skin. When he caught her staring at him curiously he smirked.

"What's the matter Sunshine? Something you want to see?"

"In your dreams X," she muttered, trying to bury her blushing cheeks in her food. But he didn't fail to miss the adorable way she acted when she got flustered.

When they finished eating they just sat there in a peaceful silence. But there were too many questions swirling around in her head for her to stay silent for long. Glancing at him over at the thief she saw him sitting surprisingly silent, looking off at the sunset in the distance.

"You know," she said, breaking the easy quiet, "I've always loved the sunset."

He turned to her, a look of surprise on his face. "What?"

"I've always loved the sunset," she repeated, smirking at his lost expression. "It's a sign that another day has pasted, and a new day will come."

He grinned at her, flashing bright teeth at her. "Yeah, it's one of the most hopeful things I know of," he agreed.

They both sat there, silent again, lost in their own thoughts.

"Robin always says that on a new day, anything's possible," she said, staring off into the distance.

He paused, slouching back in his seat, sighing,

"Raven?" he asked her hesitantly.

"Yeah," she looked at his face questionly.

"This is stupid, but I think, that I might be…" he trailed off, her amethyst eyes boring into his, almost like she could see into his soul.

"Never mind," he muttered, angrily looking away from her.

She frowned crossing her arms. "No, you were going to tell me something." her glaze softened a bit. "You can tell me X." She reached out to him but he pulled away from her touch.

He scoffed at her, now scowling."Like you won't just go run and tell your precious leader boyfriend everything I say!"

"What?!" she said, shock written on her face. "Did you think Robin was my boyfriend?" she asked incredulously.

"Maybe," he mumbled, leaning back in his chair sullenly.

She stared at his face, trying to understand what was happening. Suddenly everything cleared and she smiled vaguely.

"X," she paused, trying find the right words, "I think you're confused. I would never, have never, dated any of my teammates. Including Robin." He looked at her, and an unnameable emotion poured from him.

He groaned, rubbing his hand against his suit, frowning now more sadly.

"I'm such an idiot. Raven, I wanted to tell you why I stole your book and made you come. It's that I think I'm-"

"No!" she gasped.

"But I didn't tell you why yet!" But the empath's glaze was not focused on him, but on four people who were sitting down at a table a few away from their's. The Titans had arrived just as he was going to tell Raven what really he needed to. She shot him a glance that was very easy to interpret.

We are so screwed.

Ooh cliffhanger! And what does X want to tell raven? Who knows it might be that the total bad boy is a huge softy? : D As always please review! Your reviews always make me freakout that someone's really reading my story! And want to thank DrkSpphrGT for all your nice reviews and support!
