Description
Raven was glaring at the back of Robin's head; her glare was so deadly it could have even make Batman cry in fear.

Both Beast Boy and Cyborg were hiding behind the counter, shaking.

"R-Raven?" Cyborg stammered.

"What?" Raven said in an ominous tone, causing the changeling and the half-machine to shiver.

"Are you alright in there, dark girl?" Cyborg gulped.

"I feel perfectly fine," Raven said as she continued to stare at Robin who was laughing at what Starfire had said. "What made you say that?"

"One thing for sure, you don't look happy at all," Beast Boy spoke up.

Raven didn't say anything as she stared dead-on at Beast Boy, her eyes glowing red and teeth bared out.

"Heheh, want some tofu?" Beast Boy laughed nervously, holding up a plate of tofu.

Raven's eyes narrowed into slits as the tofu exploded into Beast Boy's face like a volcano had erupted.

Before she left the common room, she stole another glance at Robin and Starfire who seemingly didn't notice the commotion, she grew angrier when she saw Starfire hugging Robin tightly and he made no move to stop the alien, hugging her back.

Suddenly, a blade of black energy appeared, slicing the couch and into the TV, causing the screen to crack and wires hanging loosely with electrical sparks coming out.

She finally left the room, black flames surrounded her as she phased out of the door through the ceiling.

"Dude!" Robin turned his head away from Starfire at Beast Boy's exclamation.

"What happened?" Robin demanded to know.

It took only one word, one name for Robin to understand what had happened: Raven.

"Her emotions went wonky again," Beast Boy commented

"And… and the TV… the TV is beyond from—dude, where are you heading off to?" Cyborg cried out at Robin who was running out of the door.

The Boy Wonder didn't respond back as the doors closed behind him, he definitely had a lot of explaining to do to Raven.

It was obvious that the half-demon loves him very much and is close to her heart, seeing him talking to Starfire and ignoring her the whole time was like a betrayal to her.

Yep, he definitely has a lot of explaining to do.

"Raven, can I come in?" Robin said from outside of her room after knocking the door a couple of times.

"No," Raven answered firmly.

"Come on, Raven, let me in," Robin pleaded her. "You can't stay in there forever."

"I don't care about you, so go away," Raven said. "In fact, go back to the girl you're truly in love with."

"It's not what it looks like," Robin replied.

"No," Raven repeated. "I don't need to hear anything."

Robin placed his forehead against the cool metal doors. "Raven… you didn't let me explain."

"I don't have to, I saw what I saw, end of discussion," Raven said.

Robin wasn't mad or annoyed at her response, he knew that she was a stubborn bird, but he still have other plans in his pockets.

He began to smirk when he heard a familiar emotion in her tone, oh yes, he understood what's going on. "Have it your way then, just meet me up at the rooftop at eight o'clock tonight, wear something nice and warm." With that said, he left.

Raven, after a minute, stuck her head out of her room and saw no sign of Robin.

"Yeah right, I'm not going even if the idea sounds tempting."

"Why in hell I'm I doing here?" Raven said as she stared at the table in front of her.

"Curiosity kills a cat," Robin said, pulling a chair out for her.

Raven scowled at him as she sat down and didn't say anything about his unmasked eyes and clothing, but she mentally admitted that he does look mighty fine in that white button up shirt – three buttons were undone, showing off his chest slightly – it hung loosely yet it defined his muscles.

"So, what's all this?" Raven commented at the romantic set up.

The floor was covered in rose petals, candles were laid on the floor, the food was grilled chicken sitting on top of the Alfredo pasta, there was a soft music drifted from the radio, and there was a bottle of wine on the table.

"You know what's today," Robin smiled at her, his blues eyes twinkling. "Cyborg and the others are out at Steel City, visiting Titans East for the night. Now, let us eat." He said, popping the bottle of wine opened and pouring it into the glass.

Raven scowled at one once more but she obliged his command, eating the food and sipping the fine wine, making no comment about the delicious food.

"So, what's all this?" Raven repeated her previous question after finishing half of her food.

Robin rolled his eyes in a playful manner and said, "I think you know the answer already."

"You're secretly dating Starfire, right?" Raven stated.

"Yes – huh, what – no I'm not dating her!" Robin said quickly.

"It doesn't seem like it to me this morning," Raven said.

"Raven," Robin sighed. "If you have let me explain then you'll understand."

"I didn't need any explanation," Raven said, crossing her arms together.

Suddenly, it all clicked in Robin's head, he began to smirk, and Raven took it as an offense.

"Stop looking at me like that! It's disturbing!" Raven barked.

He continued to smirk at her.

"Go to Starfire or something, I'm sure she'll love that look on your face!" Raven growled at him, her fist was covered in black energy.

"My, my, is Ms. Raven Roth jealous?" Robin drawled.

"Me, you think I'm jealous?" Raven said.

"Yes, I think – know – you're jealous," Robin replied.

"Preposterous," Raven scoffed at him. "I am not jealous, I never feel envious."

"It's natural to feel envy, Raven," Robin said. "In fact, I know the feeling quite well."

Raven was silent and Robin took it as response for him to continue.

"Every time Speedy, Kid Flash, or some hormonal guy flirts with you, you don't know how much I want to punch them in the face," Robin explained. "Last week, I wanted to pulverize Red X because he called you 'Sunshine' or 'cutie'."

"But that still doesn't clarify about afternoon between you and Starfire," Raven said softly and sadly.

Robin gently took her hand into his and gently said, "If you let explain then you'll understand that there's nothing beyond friendship between Starfire and I."

"But t-this afternoon you—"

"Starfire was just helping me setting this whole thing up and convinced the other two to go to Steel City for the day," Robin interrupted her.

Raven looked down at her feet. "I-I d-didn't know, m-maybe you're right I was jealous for a moment. I'm sorry." She stammered a little.

"It's alright, Raven, it's cute to see you getting all jealous," Robin commented.

Raven narrowed her eyes at him, leaning forward and said, "Don't expect seeing my jealousy that much because it won't happen very often from now on."

"Until a girl jumps on me," Robin said teasingly.

"Unless if she wants to suffer endless nightmares for the rest of her life," Raven hissed.

Robin chuckled at her threat even though she sounds serious, but truthfully she wouldn't have the guts to send fan girls into insanity.

The two sat in the table, drinking wine as they listened to the jazz music coming from the stereo, the song was romantic and reflecting all their feelings they have for one another.

Robin got up from his seat, standing in front of Raven, and bowing lowly. "May I have this dance, milady?"

Raven thought for a moment before a smile graced on her face. "You may, good sir." She answered, taking his hand as he led her to the middle of the rooftop.

Robin twirled her around before pulling her close to his body.

Raven let Robin lead the dance, allowing him to twirl her around a couple of times. She felt very relaxed in his arms, laying her head on his chest.

Robin buried his face into her hair and inhaled the heavenly scent and the softness of her violet locks.

He noticed the content expression on her face, smiling warmly down at her, and felt his heart bursting into fireworks. He stared as her hair was gently being blown by the calm breeze, the moonlight shine under her and making her skin glows like an angel.

The two stopped dancing once the music had stopped and smiled at each other.

Robin titled her chin upward and said, "Happy one year anniversary, Raven."

"Happy one year anniversary, Richard," Raven replied.

The two gazed into each other's eyes before leaning towards one another…

And their lips met into a loving, passionate kiss.
