Hey y'all. Sorry for the uneventful chapter last time. Um…sorry, I guess? Anyway, let's get to the story. Oh, and thanks to blaze-firestorm for Cy's background. Forever and For Always fully belongs to Shania Twian. BUT, if I could I would adopt it as my own. There's gonna be fluff in this chapter. Yay fluff!!!!

Robin glanced over to Raven's end of the car. After meeting in the lobby they'd piled into Bruce's limo. Raven had kept Robins jacket, to his surprise. He'd expected her to be embarrassed by his "remind you of me" comment. Hmm…Maybe it was time to kick it up a notch. (A/N: Ugh, that sounds so corny! Please forgive!) He gently slid his hand across the backseat. 'Here goes nothing.'
Raven felt something brush her thigh. She flicked her eyes down discreetly to see Robin's hand on her leg. She glanced at his face but it was turned away, looking out the window. She laid her own hand on his and tipped her hand back against the head rest, smiling slightly. Out her window she could see a vast array of sights. Gotham reminded her of Jump City. Some women were juggling grocery bags and toddlers while others were talking on cellphones or carrying shopping bags. Couples held each other close, laughing and enjoying each other. Friends joked with each other and the loners took in the silence of their minds. It reminded her of the view from her window in the Tower.
The limo lurched to a stop and, to Raven's dismay, removed his hand from her leg. She slipped out the other door and smiled at him over the roof of the car. He smiled back.
"Thanks for the ride, Alfred," he said to the man at the steering wheel.
"Anytime Master Richard. What time would you like me to return for you?"
Robin glanced at Raven for a split second then replied "We'll walk home."
"If you insist."
The limo sped off leaving a small cloud of dust behind it.
"Wanna go to the park?" asked Raven in a monotone voice.
"Sure," Robin replied.
Gotham City Park was similar to the average park in any town: a small lake near the center, walk ways, benches and plenty of room for picnics. Raven and Robin went to the lake first and fed the ducks. Robin lay back onto the snow coated grass and put his hands behind his head, staring at the sky.
"Hey Raven, have you ever woken up one morning and realized something about yourself you didn't know before? Like…you like someone and flirt with them and all but you don't know how to actually tell them how you feel?" he asked as she tossed another handful of bread crumbs into the crystalline water. Raven looked thoughtful for a moment. Of course she had, but how was she to tell Robin that HE was the one she felt that way about.
"Yup. Happened very recently in fact," she replied.
Robin raised a questioning eyebrow. "Really."
"Really."
"So, are you gonna tell him?" he interrogated.
"Well, some say actions speak louder than words," she stated. And with that she leaned over and kissed him. He wrapped an arm around her waist and deepened the kiss.
In your arms,
I can still feel the way you want me when you hold me,
I can still hear the words you whispered when you told me,
I could stay right here forever in you arms,
She put an arm around his shoulders and placed a hand on his cheek. Robin ran his hand through her hair and rested it on the back on her neck.
And there ain't no way, I'm lettin' you go now,
And there ain't no way, And there ain't no how,
Never see that day,
Cause I'm keepin' you forever and for always,
We will be together all of our days,
Wanna wake up every morning to your sweet face,
Always,
After a few moments they broke away and looked into each other eyes.
Robin smiled. "Actions really do speak louder then words."
"I guess so," she agreed.
They spent the rest of the day with each other. He showed her the sights of Gotham, and she told him about her past while he listened intently to every word. At sunset they found themselves back at the park.
The two held each other as they watched the sunset on Gotham. Raven sighed and laid her head on Robin's shoulder. He tightened his arm around her as the sun's final rays shone over the horizon. He he'd said before, life was good.
