A/N: So, I'm really in love with the idea of Red X sending Raven flowers and everybody instantly thinks they're for Starfire, like no questions asked. Anyway, I thought I'd give it a go. Hope you like it.

Wrong Delivery
Raven wasn't sure which was better, the flowers or the look on her teammates' faces when they found out that they weren't for Starfire.
It was a normal day in the T Tower. Well, as normal as it could get for a group of teenage superheroes. Raven was reading a book, Cyborg and Beastboy were playing video games (quite loudly if truth be told) and Robin was teaching Starfire how to bake cupcakes without poisoning anybody.
Now,this was a bit too normal for the group's liking. Something had to happen eventually;they never got a day off. As if on queue, a knock on the door interrupted the Titans from their activities. Another knock. "Alright Titans, we all know what happened the last time this sort of thing happened. We'll all go together." Robin informed the team.
They approached the door, all powers and weapons at the ready. Robin opened the door to reveal a bored looking teenager carrying what seemed to be a bouquet of a dozen, bright blue flowers.
"Stand down team." Robin ordered as he put his bo-staff away.
"Delivery for Titans Tower, a bouquet of a dozen Morning Glories with a message inside." he said in a monotone voice.
"Thanks." Robin replied before taking the flowers out of the delivery guy's hands and shutting the door.
"Gee, he sure was happy." Cyborg noted, looking back to make sure the door was shut.
"Yeah he was," Beastboy agreed "Hey Raven, if you catch him now you might be able to get a date with him."
"Very funny Beastboy." Raven replied, scowling at the changeling.
"Who's it for anyway?" Beastboy asked, as they reached the living room.
"Probably for Star, sent from one of her many fanboys." Cyborg guessed; making Starfire giggle and blush while Robin narrowed his eyes.
"Yes, well, just in case. Raven, can you do some sort of magic scan on them to make sure they're not going to harm us?" Robin inquired, looking at the sorceress.
"Yes, of course. Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos."
After five minutes of careful scanning, Raven finally said "Yeah, they're clean. Here you go Star."
"Thank you friend Raven." the Tamaranean princess replied with a smile. "Oh look, there's a card here."
"Well then, read what it says." Beastboy urged her.
"OK. It says: To my dear Sunshine, I hope you like these. I know they're your favourite. Skylark blue Morning Glories. They symbolize love and affection or mortality. I like to go with the love part though. They also represent a single day for lover's to meet. Quite coincidental given our situation though. Don't you think? Anyway, I'll see you at the usual place, on the usual day and at the usual time. I love you with all my heart, don't forget that - J."
By the time Starfire had read the last line, Raven had gone redder than a fire truck. "Somehow," Starfire began, looking straight at Raven with a smile " I do not think these flowers belong to me."
"Wait, wait,wait. Pause, rewind and play. The flowers aren't for Starfire?" Beastboy asked, his eyes widening.
"Yes friend Beastboy, they are for friend Raven."
"Raven? Somebody sent flowers? To Raven? Aha, oh man you've got to be kidding me right?" Beastboy laughed, bending over to hold his stomach.
"No, I am not doing the kidding friend Beastboy and I ask you to not laugh. Raven is beautiful and it is not right, you being her friend, to laugh with disbelief when someone sends her flowers." Starfire scolded him as her eyes began to glow.
When her eyes returned to their normal emerald green colour, she said "Now. Here are your flowers friend Raven."
"Thanks Starfire." Raven breathed as she accepted the flowers from her friend.
"Who's J?" Robin asked, staring at Raven.
"And why is he sending flowers to you? Telling you to meet him at the usual place? " Cyborg added, his older brother instincts rising inside of him.
It didn't take long for Robin to figure it out. Of course it didn't. He was, after all, trained by Batman. When he had everything pieced together he finally said "Raven, why didn't you tell us?"
"Tell us what?" Beastboy asked timidly.
"Tell us that she has a boyfriend."
"What!" Beastboy and Cyborg yelled simultaneously.
" I have a boyfriend." Raven repeated shyly, looking down at the floor.
"For how long?" Cyborg asked.
"A year."
"You've had a boyfriend for a year and you didn't even tell us?" Beastboy gasped.
Raven nodded in reply.
"Oh, friend Raven. I am most happy for you." Starfire squealed.
"Thank you Starfire." Raven nodded, giving Starfire a small smile.
"Why didn't you tell us Raven? We're your team, your friends. I thought you trusted us." Robin ranted, a downcast look on his face.
"Look, I do trust you. Every single one of you. The only reason I didn't tell you was because I didn't think we'd even last as long as we have. I mean come on, I'm a superhero for Azar's sake and half demon on top of that. Who would ever stay with me for a month? Never mind a year!"
Nobody answered.
"Look, I need to meditate. We can talk about this when I'm ready to, OK? I promise." She didn't wait for an answer.
As soon as Raven sat down on her bed, she re-read the card. Smiling at every word. When she had finished reading, her heart did a little flutter, the same flutter it always did whenever Jason did something romantic. As she put the flowers into the vase on her bedside table, she couldn't help but think one thing 'I love you too Jason and don't you forget that.'
A/N: I hope you all enjoyed that. Personally I think improvements could be made but please review and tell me what you thought about it. I'd love to hear your opinions. Thanks.
