Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans. If I did, Robin and Raven would be getting married and have kids.
NOTE: Slow beginning. After the next chapter, things will speed up.
Raven closed her eyes and breathed in deeply. She was just about to get done with her meditation until someone had intruded on her little morning ritual on the roof. They weren't being loud at all; she could just feel their presence. She popped one eye open, noting that whoever was on the roof with her wasn't making a move at all. "Before you think you weren't caught, you better come over here," she said, landing her feet to the ground. Her cloak flew behind her as she looked down at the ground from the top of the T-Tower.
"You're up early," a voice sounded from next to her this time. Raven turned to see the black spikey-haired leader with a short temper. That was one thing they had in common, but Raven was able to conceal her anger much better than Boy Wonder.
"I could say the same for you," Raven answered, turning back to look at the view of the water and the city, her arms resting at her sides.
The pair didn't make any noise as they both stared at the body of water that shone brightly. It reflected the sun and the sky that was slowly starting to lighten up, showing that it was soon to be the start of a new day.
Raven was surprisingly the character who decided to break the silence. "Do you want some tea?"
Slowly, the other bird turned to face her. He shook his head and replied," No thanks. I'm good. I'll go with you to make it, though." He felt relieved that she could talk to him and have comfortable silences with him. This wouldn't have happened had the whole "End of the World" fiasco not occur. He smiled slightly, glad that she was slowly opening up and releasing herself from the shell she was enclosed in previously. With the defeat of Trigon, he knew she didn't have to be too weary of her emotions, for Trigon could not control her. The only reason she had to hold her powers in now was because she didn't want to cause destruction like how she had on her birthday.
Raven nodded and headed toward the door. Robin stood there for a moment until his female companion turned around and asked," Are you coming?"
Robin nodded and followed her down the stairs and toward the kitchen, where she was quick to prepare the tea kettle. He watched as she floated toward the couch and plopped herself on it. She wasn't at all like Cyborg or Beast Boy, where they'd instantly turn on the TV and watch some action movie/show or play video games once she sat down. She also wasn't like Starfire who would sit down and then shoot back up, sharing some news she'd have found exciting, while the team wiuld be comfused as to why she was excited in the first place. All Raven did was sit there, staring out the window and think to herself as her tea was heating up. With a small smile, Robin headed toward the couch and sat next to her.
"It's a nice morning, isn't it?" Robin asked, his arm resting on the couch behind her. His fingers touched her shoulder lightly, causing her to jump in surprise. A blush appeared on her face, but she covered it quickly by pulling up her hood.
Raven cleared her throat and nodded. "Yeah. Too bad it's gonna have to end soon. Beast Boy may wake up late, which I'm grateful for," she said, causing Robin to chuckle and look out the window from where he sat," but Starfire and cyborg wake up early. They're not so graceful, quiet, or happy if they don't have the right amount of sleep."
"I know how you feel," Robin said after a while. "I don't really like it when my mornings are ruined either."
Raven nodded slowly. The pot whistled followed by the slamming of one door and the light click of another. She stood up and grabbed the kettle from the stove before pouring it into her favorite mug that had Eeyore on it. The team had gotten it for her for Christmas. Even though she didn't like the fact that they compared her to the depressed Eeyore, she was still somewhat happy that they thought about her and bought her gifts as well. She placed the Earl Grey tea bag into her mug and watched as it sank to the bottom slowly, filling the cup with little color. She resumed her position onto the couch, leaving a little distance between her and Robin, unlike before.
"Goodmorning, my fellow Earthling companions!" a chipper voice called from behind them, making the two birds turn to face the culprit who talked. "Isn't this just a glorious day?"
Robin nodded, while Raven gave her a shrug. Raven turned around, sipping her tea, while Starfire headed to the kitchen and attempted to make breakfast. It proved to be uneffective by the amount of noise she was making with the pots and pans against the stove.
When they heard another booming voice, they knew that the situation would be taken care of with a little bit of struggling.
After a while, Robin got off of the couch to assist Cyborg in insisting Starfire to hand over the job to the human-robot hybrid. Although Raven wouldn't admit it, she quite enjoyed the morning because it showed that things were still the same even though she almost ended the world permanently.
A/N: Another story from me, even though I can't quite write my other ones! I'm hoping this one turns out better than the others because I am so braindead for those. I hope you liked this story, even though this is pretty slow.
Love~
