Quick notes on age: don't remember exactly where I heard/read this but I went with Raven's 16th being when the whole Season 4 arc happened. Then used her comment in Hide and Seek where she says "last year on my birthday" to continue the aging time-wise. Rest is explained ahead. This is her 18th for anyone that's confused.

Raven stared at the clock in her hands, watching the second hand slowly tick and make its revolutions around the contraption. Almost noon. Just being in the same position still sent chills down her spine. The empath wasn't quite sure why she was still doing this ritual; after all, they'd defeated Trigon almost two years ago now. Maybe it was just something she couldn't let go. It wasn't that she wanted to relive the nights of fear and anxiety that this year would be the year; rather, it was just something that was ingrained in her now. She'd missed this occasion last year as they were all off in various parts of Eurasia fighting the Brotherhood of Evil, the first year of both being away from home when the day came and also experiencing the strange lack of worries she felt.

Raven put down the clock and stood up, striding over to the door. She hoped her teammates wouldn't set up another unoriginal, bland surprise party, but wouldn't put it past them to do the same thing. Not that she minded anymore. She'd already told Robin that she would need some time alone before joining the rest of them, and of course, he'd respected her wishes. The tower hadn't been completely dead for the morning, but it had been…quieter than usual. Maybe they were planning a surprise party. If so, they aren't doing a very good job of hiding it, she thought to herself. Opening the door to the ops room, she was surprised to see just Robin standing alone.

"Is there something I should be aware of?" she quipped. "Where are the others?"

"Preparations are almost done," he said, turning around with a smile.

"What do you mean, 'preparations'?" she asked, raising a thin eyebrow.

"Come on," he laughed. "You knew this was going to happen, no matter what."

"Not very surprising if you ask me."

"We didn't go for the surprise aspect this time," he said, taking her hand. "We invested a little more in…making this special. It is your 18th, after all."

"Get on with it, Boy Blunder," she said, tapping her foot impatiently.

"If you say so." He let go of her hand and went over to the computer, typing in a few quick keystrokes. Suddenly, the room converted, with a disco ball dropping down from the ceiling and the screens flipping to various bright colors. Decorations popped up from the corners as well, completing the background. Raven took a few steps back, still taking in her surroundings in shock.

"You…how did you…"

"Happy birthday, Raven!" she spun around to see the rest of her team, as well as Titans East, stream in from the doors. They held presents in their hands and proceeded to join Robin in facing her.

"I knew you'd need the morning to yourself to meditate and think," Robin told her. "It was perfect for these last minute touches. What do you say we party the rest of this day?"

"I…" Raven started. "This is incredible…you spent so much time on this?"

"All for you," he said softly, nodding his head. Just then, a notification popped up on the screen, accompanied by a ding sound. VISITORS AT FRONT DOOR, the computer read.

"Ah, our guests must be here," Cyborg remarked.

"Guests?" Raven asked, confused.

"Let's head down," Robin said, taking her arm. "You'll be quite happy to see them." The two birds made way for the elevator, while Cyborg turned to the rest of them.

"Alright, y'all, I really need all hands on deck today. I've already pre-prepared most of the dishes, but with your help we can get this done over lunch and have the rest of the day to celebrate. Who's with me?"

"Chill, Sparky," Bumblebee yawned. "We'll get it done, I promise. How hard can it be to throw ribs in the oven anyway?" The half-robot's vein grew close to popping as she walked away and inspected what he had already set out on the counter.

"I hope she likes my present," Beast Boy said to no one in particular.

"Will you tell me now who's coming to crash our party?" Raven asked again.

"Be patient," he chuckled. "You're going to meet them in a few moments anyway." They neared the door, walking down the lobby until Robin opened the door. The two giant metal barriers parted way to reveal a giant teddy bear.

"Raven!" Melvin screeched from atop Bobby's head. Raven stared at them in shock.

"You four? But…what…how?" she stammered.

"Getting them through customs was the easy part. It was fitting Bobby somewhere that proved difficult," Robin laughed. "And, now that I think about it, I don't know how we're going to get him up to the main room."

"Easy," Melvin responded. "Bobby can go through the roof. There's a bigger entrance there."

"How do you know that?" Raven asked.

"Cuz we followed you back, remember? Duh," Melvin answered. The empath facepalmed, but was struggling to hide a smile behind it.

"Alright, you rascals," Raven said to the kids. "Get down from Bobby and let's take you all up to the others."

"You have cake?" Timmy asked. Hearing this, Teether perked up as well, sucking on his pacifier a bit more vigorously.

"There will be plenty of cake to go around," Robin promised them. The five of them entered the elevator while Bobby climbed up to the rooftop.

"Uh, why is there a giant teddy bear climbing your glass?" Speedy pointed out.

"That's Bobby. He's the super strength teddy bear who fought off Mallah. Remember?" Bumblebee replied.

"Oh hello, my giant adorable friend who is a bear!" Starfire exclaimed as Bobby appeared in the room. She flew over and hugged him and he smiled, being the first one who could actually withstand a crushing hug from the Tamaranian. The others arrived behind him, and the three kids ran in front, exploring the decorated room with wonder.

"Looks like we've got a real party up in here," Aqualad commented. "Glad you guys let us know so we could stay a few more days."

"You really didn't have to do all this for me," Raven said quietly. "Look, I appreciate everything. But I already know you guys are my closest friends. You've already shown me how much you care through everything we've been through."

"This day isn't about us, Rae," Robin replied. "It's about you. This is our way of saying what you just said. You've done a lot for every single one of us in this room. This is the least we can do—on your 18th, no less."

"What Robin said," Bumblebee chimed in. "I think I can speak for the rest of Titans East when I say we're happy to party with anyone who kicks as much ass as you do." On cue, Mas y Menos held up their fists, pantomiming boxers.

"Yeah! Who else could fix up the T-Car or be my sous chef as well as you?" Cyborg added.

"Or accompany me on long trips to the mall of shopping and help me find my center," Starfire exclaimed gleefully.

"Or insult me at everything I do, which I only sometimes deserve," Beast Boy admitted.

"Or be the greatest mom ever!" Melvin shouted, putting an arm around Teether and Timmy.

"Already told you not to call me that," Raven said with her usual sarcasm, yet lightening up a little already.

"I hope we got it right this time," Robin said. "Figured you could let loose a little now. And we're making up for not getting to celebrate the last one." Raven took a deep breath and took in the sight one more time: the "Happy Birthday Raven" flashing on the screen, the multiple decorations, smell of delicious food, and all of her friends, waiting to get started.

"On your cue," Cyborg pointed out, "We dig in to everything I already made for lunch, I whip out Pin the Beast Boy Donkey and these giant piñatas of him, and we go until we drop." She let a small smile spread over her face, before recomposing herself.

"There's plenty of ice cream in the freezer, right?"

The afternoon and early evening went in a blur for the heroes. Raven couldn't remember the last time she spent this much energy on just…pure, unadulterated fun. It was more exhausting to her than it should've been. She chatted with everyone as they ate, watched as Titans East jumped in on competitive video gaming, and attempted to pin some darts on the Beast Boy donkey, missing badly before using her powers discreetly to see through the blindfold and pin the target.

"Man, why does everything have to be based on me?" Beast Boy pouted, as they lined up for the piñata. "This is hazing!"

"Come on, man. You're just easy to make fun of," Cyborg said, rubbing his hair as the shapeshifter folded his arms. "Besides, I always let you beat my puppet up when it's your birthday."

"It's not the same, dude," he whined. Speedy handed him the bat and blindfold as he stepped out of the way. "Aw, man! Now I have to whack myself with a stick?!"

"Take it or leave it," Speedy sneered. "I'll have one more whack at your doppelganger if you're passing."

"I hope it's alright that I only brought the kids," Robin told Raven as they watched the argument. "I know you're pretty close with them. I invited some others but they were busy. They all send their regards."

"You weren't really going to invite every single Honorary Titan, were you?" she laughed quietly. "That's a bit excessive."

"Thought about it. Came to the same conclusion as you. It just so happens Titans East were in town anyway. I assumed it'd be nice if they dropped in to celebrate."

"You're going to have to do a lot more to top this one," she reminded him. "Everyone's special. Not just me."

"The rest of them agreed to it quite easily," Robin reassured her. "Remember, no one's birthday holds as much significance as yours. And you know the first time we actually get to celebrate it for what it is, we're going to go all out." Raven fell silent, thinking about his words. It was a fair point. Although they were all a family, with common threads of rough upbringings, she'd been defined by her birthday and the prophecy up until now. Distracted, she didn't notice a certain Atlantean in front of her until she bumped into him.

"Your turn, Raven," he said, handing the bat and blindfold to her. "We know how much you're gonna enjoy this." She glanced at the piñata, seeing that one of Beast Boy's arms and legs were each hanging on by a thread, with the rest still intact. Putting on the blindfold, she grinned and let herself be spun around a few times. Taking a deep breath, Raven pulled back and swung hard.

"Watch it," Robin said, catching the bat and stopping it in midair. "Don't take my head off."

"My bad," Raven amended, and spun the other way. She took another swing, feeling the bat connect with the cardboard of the party item. Lifting the blindfold, she saw that the piñata had been split in half, with candy now streaming out of the bottom.

"Candy!" Timmy screeched, diving into the pile. The other kids, including Mas y Menos, followed suit.

"Guess we don't get to have a crack at it," Robin said, gesturing to himself and Bumblebee. "But that's okay. Nice hit!"

"We can still beat up the rest of it though," Bumblebee pointed out. "Get the rest of the candy out."

"Oh no you don't," Beast Boy stopped her. "My perfect looks are already ruined. I don't want my body mutilated any more than it already is!"

"Have at it," Raven said, handing the bat to Bumblebee. Beast Boy shot her a look and she smirked back as Bumblebee proceeded to beat the rest of the piñata.

The rest of the afternoon went by just as fast for the Titans. Robin had brought every possible game and activity, ensuring that they would never be bored. Cyborg, per usual, had cooked up a big feast in preparation for dinner and had also bought tons of sweets and other junk food to snack on. As Raven engaged in another round of elemental cards with the kids, Starfire, and Beast Boy, the rest of the boys went for a game of 2 on 2 on the rooftop basketball court, which had been recently repaired by the Boy Wonder. More hours went by, with the ops room remaining ever boisterous but becoming even more messy.

"Teether, no more frosting for you," Raven scolded as they cleaned up the card game just before dinner. "You're going to be full and hyper later."

"Can Bobby have one more cupcake?" Melvin asked, tugging on the hand of the bear. Raven looked up to meet the teddy bear's longing eyes.

"Fine," she conceded. "Bobby can have half. He can have the other half after dinner."

"I did not know you made such a good knorfka," Starfire said sweetly.

"Me neither."

"Dinner will be ready in just a few minutes, y'all!" Cyborg announced. "But don't fill up too much, after dinner we've got plenty of eight-layer cake to go around too!"

"Dude, I'm full already," Beast Boy moaned. "Too…many…cookies…"

"The green one is right," Mas y Menos agreed, each holding their stomachs. "Cupcakes were so delicious."

"Come on, BB!" Cyborg said, slapping him on the back and unintentionally making him feel even more sick. "I finally figured out how to make your casserole just the way you want it. And I know you're not gonna turn that down."

"I just might today," the shapeshifter replied, turning even greener than usual.

"No fish, right?" Aqualad asked suspiciously as they sat down.

"Uhhh…of course not," Cyborg said, smiling innocently. Aqualad looked at him for a few seconds, then dug his fork into some Brussels sprouts. While he was looking down, Cyborg quickly grabbed ahold of the plate of pan-seared salmon and moved it closer to himself.

"Fantastic as usual, Cyborg," Robin complimented between chews.

"The steak is amazing," Speedy added. "I'm getting the last piece."

"I'll have something to say about that," Robin interjected. The rest of the heroes gazed at each other in a rare moment of common acknowledgement: this rivalry was getting ridiculous.

"Raven," Melvin said, tugging at her cloak. "Timmy needs help with his ribs." She glanced over at Timmy, whose face was covered in barbecue sauce.

"Set the rib down, Timmy," she commanded, and the loud kid obliged. Using her powers, she promptly sliced the meat off the bone and chopped it into tinier pieces. "There. Eat it like this."

"Gotta say, Sparky, you should write a cookbook or something," Bumblebee commented. "We could really use some of your recipes sometime, instead of just going out to get fish tacos whenever we're too lazy."

"Amen!" Aqualad agreed. After dinner, Cyborg revealed his ridiculously tall cake, with "Happy Birthday Raven" written in green frosting on the top. The empath reluctantly blew out all 18 candles, and Cyborg somehow managed to cut a slice for everyone without the cake toppling over. The teams sat for a bit, aimlessly chatting and digesting their huge meals, as the sun descended towards the horizon.

"Alright, everyone. Who's up for a dance party to end the night?" Robin asked.

"Count me in!" Beast Boy answered immediately, jumping up. The others followed suit, while Raven hung behind as they started up the disco ball. They went for an hour, with various bangers playing on Cyborg's blown-out speakers and the team generally making fools of themselves. This was normally where the empath would retreat to her room, but for the spirit of partying, she decided to at least hang around and be amused by the awful dancing of the other Titans.

"Come on," Robin said to her, finally coming over. "Get on the floor."

"You've convinced me to try a lot of things over this past almost-year. Over our entire time, even. But you're not going to get me on that floor," she adamantly refused.

"Please?" he begged, extending a hand out.

"No."

"Come on, Rae!" Cyborg joined in. "It's a lot of fun!"

"Had a bit too much of that in my system today," she replied. "So thanks, but no thanks."

"But—"

"Let it go, Cyborg," Robin quickly said to him. He then turned to Raven and leaned in closer to her.

"Yes?"

"I can spend some time with you if you want," he whispered. "The others are pretty into this right now. I'm sure they won't mind."

"I'm kind of the unwilling star of this show."

"It'll be alright. Trust me."

"If you say so," she conceded. Glancing over at the counter, she saw that the presents were still laying there. "What say we go to my room and open these up?" she asked, jerking a thumb towards the counter.

"Sounds like a plan," he agreed, nodding.

The two birds sat on Raven's bed as she sorted through the boxes and tried to decide on an order.

"I'll open yours last," she declared.

"Do whatever you want with them," Robin told her. "You can throw mine out if you want. It's not very good anyway."

"Don't be like this, Boy Blunder," she chuckled softly. She set his aside and decided to just pick them up randomly. She held up the first one, a small box covered in green wrapping paper. "From Beast Boy," she remarked. Tearing the paper, she opened the box to find a small personal mirror, roughly the size and shape of her meditation one. A note read: In case you ever need to touch up the details a little bit. And so I won't mess up your meditation mirror.

"Thoughtful," Robin commented.

"Indeed," she agreed. She picked up another box, this one wrapped in bright pink, with a rose pattern. "From Starfire," she read. Opening it up, she went through multiple layers of wrapping paper before finally getting to a smaller box. "I guess Starfire learned the ways of the big box trick."

"I'm curious to see what she got you," Robin told her. "Hopefully it's not another meat crown." Raven opened up the box to find a snow globe of Jump City, complete with Titans Tower off to the side in the bay. Inspecting closer, she found miniature, chibi-like versions of them all standing on top of the tower.

"Cute," she said, still looking over the details of the city. She shook it a little, and the town was instantly filled with white powder. Turning it over, she looked at the label on the bottom. "From that antique store in the mall. Wouldn't expect anything less."

"It's still a nice gift," Robin pointed out. "It's genuinely something Star thinks is beautiful."

"Oh, I wasn't insulting the gift," she corrected. "It's just…so Starfire of her. I'd be concerned if she didn't go to the mall to find me something," she added with a soft chuckle.

"Shall we continue?" he asked, gesturing to the remaining boxes and putting an arm around her.

"We shall, Boy Blunder." She picked out a black and white box, with a tag that said "From Titans East". There was Spanish written under it, that presumably said the same thing, only translated. The empath experimented with the box, lifting it lightly a few times. "Feels heavy. Wonder what it could be."

"Maybe it's one of Speedy's broken bows," Robin joked. She glanced at him in annoyance, and that was enough to shut him up. No one could do that to him quite like her. She unwrapped the box to find a stack of books, each one with a tag indicating who it was from.

"#Girlboss," Raven read. "From Bumblebee. Seems to be about the ass-kicking she was mentioning earlier."

"Awesome," Robin commented. "Although you don't need a book to tell you how to do that."

"Speedy got me The Art of War," Raven continued. "Read a little bit of it a long time ago. Didn't interest me that much. But I think I'll give it another try now."

"Why the change of heart?"

"Someone's taught me how to appreciate these types of things a little more," she said, rubbing his hair gently. He let out a content sigh and a small smile made its way across her face, before she turned her attention back to the books.

"Sweetbitter. Aqualad certainly knows how to keep hitting the same nerve," she said, shaking her head.

"What's it about?"

"Apparently," she said, turning to the back of the book, "It's a fiction work about a waitress working in an upscale restaurant in New York."

"Sounds like someone I know," he snickered. Raven ignored him and pulled the last book out.

"A Spanish picture book. Interesting," she mused.

"You have something to entertain the kids with now, I guess," Robin pointed out.

"Yes, I suppose you're right." She held up a hand and all the books floated towards a relatively full part of her bookshelf.

"What are you doing with those?" he asked.

"That's my to-read section of this shelf," she explained. "As you can see, I've been falling behind recently."

"Still some presents to get through here as well," Robin said, gesturing to the remaining three boxes.

"I know you're so excited for me to get to yours, but I already said I'm saving it for last," she teased.

"You really don't have to," he started. "All of these are already way better than—" She cut him off with a finger to her lips, and then picked up another box.

"From Cyborg," she told him. Untying the bow and tearing off the paper, she pulled out a contraption with the unmistakable blue pattern of Cyborg's circuitry. "Wonder what this does?"

"Poke around it and let's see," he suggested. She felt around the thing, which was a little bit smaller than a microwave. She felt a few buttons, but hesitated to press them.

"Hm, wait," she said, looking back in the box. "There's an instruction manual here." Opening it up, she beamed as soon as she started reading the first page.

"What's so funny?" Robin asked, leaning over to see.

"Congratulations! You are the lucky recipient of the world's first ever bed-and-breakfast waffle and tea maker," she read, looking back at the machine in amusement. "Designed by yours truly himself, this unique invention allows any sorceress to wake up every morning to a nice plate of toasty waffles and mug of Earl Grey," she continued reading.

"That's pretty cool," Robin said, exploring the invention himself. He pressed a few buttons and an iron, as well as a water kettle, popped out.

"Very thoughtful," Raven complimented, and set the instruction manual back in the box. "I'll figure out how to install this thing later. Hopefully it doesn't set my room on fire."

"Two more," Robin said to her. She nodded, and picked up a box with baby blue wrapping. Opening it up, she pulled out a stuffed teddy bear.

"It's a mini Bobby," she said in wonder. "Wow."

"It doesn't talk or move, does it?" Robin said, concerned. "I don't want it going rogue or something."

"Seems like it's just a normal teddy bear," Raven replied. "But still. Very nice. I just hope they didn't do anything illegal or dangerous to get this made."

"You really do take care of them well," the Boy Wonder chuckled. "Are you sure you don't like being called 'Mom'?"

"Don't push it, Dick," she shot back. Picking up the final box, she shook it a little and felt the edges. "Can't tell what this is."

"Open it up," he told her. "I hope you'll like it." She obliged and quickly tore the wrapping off to reveal a plain white box. The empath opened the flap and peered inside, then pulled out a chain. Attached to the end of it was a small, metallic purple raven. Robin reached into his shirt and pulled out a matching chain, but with a red robin on the end instead. Taking her hand, he put the two birds together, forming a heart.

"I hope it's not too cliché," he said sheepishly. "I had these custom designed. They're small enough to not be noticeable, but you can still feel them when you wear it." He then reached into the box and pulled out several tea bags and a small book. "These are your favorite brew," he pointed out, "And this is just a little something I put together." He flipped open the book to show her various pictures of them together. There was the time at the rink, the night at open mic, and just walking down the street, among others.

"When did we even take all of these?" she murmured.

"Some of us have a more photographic memory than others," he said lightly. "Just something to keep by your bedside," he added with a shrug. The Boy Wonder glanced at her nervously as she ran her fingers through everything he'd brought her. Holding the necklace in her palm, she slowly put it on over her head, then turned to him. She put his necklace back on for him, then promptly went and pinched his forearm.

"Ow!" he cried.

"You are a walking cliché, Boy Blunder," she laughed, then gave him a quick kiss. "Thank you though. For…everything. It means a lot."

"Anytime," he responded with a smile. Just then, there was a knock at the door and both Titans stood up. Raven opened the door with her powers and there stood Beast Boy with his hands on his hips.

"If you guys are done, everyone's about to leave," he said, pointing to the other side. "And you missed the dopest dance off ever."

"We'll be right there," Robin promised, and they swiftly followed him out of her room.

"Sorry I made you miss that," she apologized. "I know you wanted to hang with them and—"

"It's fine, Rae," he interrupted. "I've hung out with the rest of them this entire day. Might as well get a few moments alone with my girl." She blushed ever so slightly as they walked back to the main room.

"Been a real party, y'all," Cyborg said to all of them as they arrived.

"We can stay and help clean up if you want, Sparky," Bumblebee offered.

"Nah, don't sweat it, Bee," he dismissed. "Our house, you guys are the guests. Go on back to your cabin and then back to Steel City."

"Today was most glorious," Starfire said happily.

"Happy birthday again, Raven," Aqualad said warmly. "Really loved getting to party with you today."

"I—just opened up everyone's presents with Robin," she announced, and all the heroes stopped to listen to her. "And I just wanted to say…thank you. To each and every one of you. For making this day something to remember…finally in a good way."

"Nobody can throw a better party than us," Beast Boy proclaimed proudly.

"It was Bobby's idea to get you that," Melvin told her, and the empath couldn't resist grinning from ear to ear, something rare for her, as she looked up at the teddy bear.

"Thank you, Bobby," she said to him.

"Well, we better get going," Speedy said to them. "Thanks for inviting us over again."

"Our pleasure," Robin answered, giving them a thumbs up. The rest of them departed as the Titans set about on the arduous task of cleaning up the place.

"Robin," Raven said. He turned to her, and she nodded towards the roof. Understanding, he looked over at the others, who were starting up cleaning.

"Hey, we're gonna go and have a minute, do you guys mind?"

"Don't worry about it," Cyborg replied. "We'll start up here and you guys can join us later."

"Thanks, Cyborg." He turned back to Raven and followed the empath up to the roof. Once there, she automatically took his hand, and they gazed out over the bay, with no need for words. Minutes passed, with only a slight breeze interrupting the silence. They could both feel the tranquil effect of the moment on each other; Robin felt Raven growing calmer and recharging, while she felt him settle down and catch his breath, both figuratively and literally.

"I never expected to live to see this day," she murmured after a while.

"But you're here," he replied, still looking straight ahead. "And you've got many more of these days ahead of you."

"Perhaps," she said. "Maybe there will be more parties, more friends. But the point remains that this is the first."

"I wanted to make it feel that way. We all did," Robin said.

"I appreciate the thought," she responded. "And…I'm glad I could enjoy it. For real this time."

"Like you said, don't think we'll stop at that," he laughed. "We're always looking for a good excuse to party." She gripped his hand tighter and turned to him.

"This past year's been amazing," she said quietly. "I just haven't realized it until now. We made so many new friends, we stopped mostly everyone for now, and I found…" she leaned in closer to him, looking into his eyes. "Love."

"Can't rest on our laurels," he mused. "Still a lot of work to do. That's just how the world works."

"But like you said," she reminded him. "Sometimes it's nice to take a break. To just live life normally…or at least as close to normal as we can get."

"That is true," he admitted. "These past few months have been a lot different than what I'm used to. But at the same time it's been…nice."

"This rooftop has been so very eventful, hasn't it?" she chuckled.

"It's meaningful for both of us," he said with a smile. "I guess that's what brought us closer to begin with."

"I suppose usually this birthday has some kind of significance, doesn't it?" she brought up. "Transition to adulthood or whatever."

"You're an adult now, technically," he chortled. "Scary thought for the rest of the world."

"Just imagine how they'll feel when it's Beast Boy's 18th."

"However," Robin began, "You'll always be mine, Rae." He wrapped his arms around her and lightly pressed his lips to hers, as they hugged tightly under the moon.

"You're warm as usual," she said contentedly, as they broke free.

"Happy birthday, Raven," he said softly. She buried her face in his chest, suddenly feeling her entire body heat up and chills run down her spine.

"You made this day the best one of my life," she whispered.

"Really?" he asked, taken aback.

"Yes," she repeated, nodding. "Everything about it. Today was perfect."

"I'm glad I could," he whispered back. "Anything for you." They looked into each other's eyes again, and she reached a hand up.

"You mind if I do this again?" she asked softly.

"Go ahead." She peeled his mask off, immediately feeling another rush just from looking into his eyes. Raven put both hands on his cheeks, and pulled him in, giving him another long, satisfying kiss. Pulling away, she kept her hands on his face and made the most beautiful smile Robin had ever seen.

"Robin?"

"Yeah, Raven?"

"I love you."
