RobinxRaven

Earlier in the winter, I spent my break watching Teen Titans and I was reminded of my ship. So I wrote this

            Beastboy and Cyborg wanted to celebrate another victory. I wanted to go to my room, meditate, as I always do after a battle as a cool down.

            They- mostly Beastboy- didn’t understand that. So I was dragged into the kitchen and forced to listen to the two of them argue over real and fake meat, while Starfire prattled on about a celebratory dish from her home planet.

            Robin, for whatever reason was excused from these “parties”. I guess being leader gives you that advantage.

            He decided to stay for this one, though. To stay and watch me, of all people. As if he was monitoring me.

            So as closely as he watching me, he noticed me getting- uncharacteristically- fidgety about halfway through. I tend to get uneasy when I feel myself getting out of control, when I crave solitude. And they were all annoyingly blind to it, except Robin.

            “That’s enough fun for me.” He said, standing. “I’m going on the roof, anyone want to join?” He met my eyes, indicating that the invitation was for me only.

            Not wasting a moment, I stood and walked with him, grateful.

            “Do you need some time…?” He asked once we were alone. “I can go-.”

            “No, it’s okay.” I said quietly. “It’s just nice being away from the noise.”

            “I thought so. Is there anything I can get you?”

            “No. I had some tea when I was… trapped.” I smiled slightly, a rare gesture.

            He chuckled. “So what do you want?” He sat and I sat next to him.

            “Just… time with someone who understands.” I met his eyes once before shifting my eyes to Jump City below us. “Someone who understands, who never pushes… Who’s kind, strong…” I looked at him again, caught a blush coloring his cheeks. “You’re my best friend, Robin.” I muttered, my openness making me a little uncomfortable.

            He was silent a while before draping one of his arms over my shoulders. (had it been anyone else, his arm would be gone). “I know, Raven. I’m the only one you let into your head, aren’t I? Willingly, of course.”

            I nodded. “And I’ve been in yours. You know me best.”

            “And you know me.”

            I nodded again, a blush heating my face.

            “Doing you have something you want to say?” He murmured.

            “Richard…” I sighed, letting his real name float between us. “You... are important… to me.”

            “Important how?”

            I keep my emotions hidden, even from myself.  I don’t feel very often. I can’t afford to. So saying what I think I feel… Is a struggle. “I … Love you Robin.” I bit my lip, looked away.

            He turned my head back to him before taking his mask off, revealing blue eyes. He smiled a little, brought me closer. He didn’t have to say anything, I could feel his response as I settled into his embrace.
