Teen Titans #3

Rob/Rae

Raven sat in a café looking out the large picture window. There was a layer of snow on the ground and more was swirling around. Picking up her mug of tea she looked around the café. Robin had just walked in and had been brushing snow off his jacket. Raven had to admit to herself she looked hot in his black jeans with a black shirt and leather jacket. Just then Robin spotted her, picking up his mug he began walking towards her. Sitting at her table he smiled,

"Hey stranger, come here often?"

"Hey, ya it's my favorite place. What brings you here on this fine evening?"

"Had to get away from Star, with Christmas coming up she's driving me crazy!"

"I don't blame you." Raven said smiling. That smile in the moment made Robin realize how beautiful Raven really was. She had grown her hair out to her shoulders and had it clipped back. She was wearing in Robin's opinion a beautiful combo consisting of her long black skirt with purple lining, a black and purple corset top and a leather jacket.

Both sat in a comfortable silence for a few moments.

"You look really nice Rae." Robin commented.

Raven smiled, "You don't look half bad yourself."

"Hey you want to go for a walk?" Robin asked.

"I would like that." She replied.

Walking out of the café and across the road to the park they walked under the archway. Robin grabbed Raven's hand and began to pull her down the snow covered paths. Snowflakes danced in the cold crisp air as they rested on the icy pavement, illuminated by the street lamps. Robin suddenly stopped and pulled Raven to him covering her eyes in the process, he nudged her forward.

"Robin, what are you doing, where are we going?" Raven asked with a laugh.

" Just a little longer, I have a surprise for you." Robin said.

Sighing Raven gave in, a few minutes later Robin stopped again.

"Ok, we're here." He announced removing his hands from her eyes.

Raven gasped at the sight before her, and smiled. There in front of her was a skating rink completely lit up.

"Merry Christmas, Raven."

"How did you….. You remembered." She babbled.

"Yes, I remembered you said you would love to try skating." Robin smiled back.

Raven hugged him, grabbing his had she pulled him to the skate rental shack , there they laced up their skates.

Stepping on to the ice, they started to skate. Half way around music began to play softly in the background, and snow began to fall again. Robin pulled Raven to the middle of the rink. Looking down at her, he swept her into a kiss, for a moment Raven was stunned. Soon she melted into the kiss, and felt his warm lips in hers. Pulling apart Robin continued to look down at her.

"I love you Raven." He whispered into her ear.

"I love you too Robin." She whispered back.
