Big Sister is Pretty

A birthday present for Ivy from Xaleria

Happy early birthday Ivy (My totally awesome long-lost personality twin!!)!! :D I know how much you LOVE this couple so of course this story's about them. ;) I was inspired by, of course, another Asian song called "Noona is Pretty (Replay)" by SHINee.

Oh yeah, and to make this clear to everyone, this will be what I call a "Countdown Fic". I'm going to update every Saturday (starting this coming Saturday after this update) until I end it on Ivy's birthday!! So I hope you guys enjoy it!!

Anyway, enough of me babbling about it, onto the story!

Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans. If I did, Robin wouldn't waste time saying cheesy one-liners.

Prologue- Good Morning

Mornings. He disliked mornings. No…he detested mornings with a passion. Mornings were his hell on Earth. And this particular morning was no different. In fact, it was the worst mornings of all mornings. Because today was…

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYAN!!" a shrill voice shouted as the double doors leading to his room burst open.

His birthday. And while most would rejoice at this, he hated it. Since ever his father remarried to the most obnoxious, annoying, drives-you-crazy-until-you-want-to-kill-her woman ever, he had come to loathe the day of his birth.

"Rona," Ryan said, his voice low and dangerous. "How many times do I have to tell you to not come into my room?"

Ignoring the tone of his voice, Rona, a bubbly, blond-haired woman with the most childlike blue eyes, rushed forward, crushing Ryan into her bosom, one reason Ryan believed his father had married her for. "Oh Ryan! Don't be such a grouch! It's your birthday!!"

"Happy birthday son!!" Ryan turned his head, as much as he could, to glare at his father who popped up behind Rona. He too wore a stupid grin on his face as he blew one of those party poppers. Then again, Ryan thought, they're both idiots and therefore perfect for each other…

As much as Ryan hated to admit it, he looked a lot like his father. They both were tall, having a foot difference from each other, making Ryan 5'5 while his father was 6'5. Ryan had his casual disarrayed black hair and his baby blue eyes. The only feature Ryan didn't have from his father was his soft, ivory skin which he got from his mother.

Pushing himself away from Rona, Ryan sent a deadly glare in their direction, "Go away."

His parents looked at each other, then back at Ryan, and then burst out laughing. Of course they wouldn't take his words seriously. They never did.

"Oh you're so funny Ryan." Rona cooed, pushing his hair back from his eyes. Ryan waved her hand away, sighing in exasperation. "Now come on, I made a big breakfast for you!"

"Whatever," Ryan muttered, getting out of bed. He waited until his parents were out of his room before he grabbed the remote off his nightstand and switched on the TV, flipping towards the news channel. His eyes were glued to the screen even as he changed.

"Mary Castro here live from Jump City National Bank where the Teen Titans have once again served justice. Today our heroes have apprehended the H.I.V.E Five. members, Jinx, Mammoth, Gizmo, Billy Numerous, SeeMore, and Kyd Wykkyd. Oh, here they come! Robin, if we could question you!"

Ryan scoffed, looking as the reporter ran after Boy Wonder. He smiled pleasantly and answered all of the questions as his teammates carted off the bad guys. Ryan hated Robin. The guy had a huge ego and always walked around like he owned the city. And there were numerous times where he had betrayed his team yet was always forgiven by everyone. Heck, the guy could kill someone and still be forgiven!

They only reason why Ryan even put up with watching the news and Robin show off every day was because he hoped to see her. By her, he meant Raven. The pale-skinned, goddess who had caught his eye the first time he saw her. Although everyone avoided her, considered her an 'Ice Queen' and wrote her off as a 'freaky, gothic chick', she wasn't.

Raven was, for the lack of a better word, breathtaking. The way she walked with grace, the cute, irresistible pout always present on her face, the way her leotard complimented her curvaceous body, the shine in her violet eyes, and the abnormality of her indigo hair; all of it fascinated Ryan. No, Raven herself fascinated him. Ryan had loved the way of how she was always honest, although people considered it curt, how she said what was on her mind and how she didn't mind that people really didn't pay attention to her. Ryan loved everything about her.

She's so pretty, he thought to himself as he dreamily gazed at the screen where the said heroine was glaring into the camera. If only I could talk to her…if only…

Sighing, Ryan finished dressing himself by pulling on his school uniform's blazer. He didn't bother to turn off the TV since the maids would do so, and walked out of the room, shutting the door behind him just as the reporter said, "BIG NEWS! We have just discovered that the Teen Titans are in debt!! Yes, you heard right, the Titans are BROKE!"

Ryan took a sip of tea as he looked down at today's newspaper in his hand. His father was also doing the same. Rona smiled thinking, They really are so much alike.

Refilling Ryan's tea cup (Rona hated having the maids do so), Rona asked, "So Ryan, is there anything you want for your birthday?"

"Not really," Ryan murmured, flipping the page.

"Oh…" Rona said, dejected. Ryan flipped the page again and stopped as he saw a picture of the Titans.

"Actually…"

Rona brightened, looking towards her stepson with a big smile, "Did you find something you want?"

Ryan smiled and put the picture towards Rona, pointing towards Raven, "Yes, I want her."

Rona blinked, staring at Ryan disbelievingly as his father stopped eating to stare at Ryan too. Ryan only smiled, repeating, "I want Raven Roth for my birthday present."
