A/N: Hello, all. Surprised to see something from me? Well, that makes two of us. You'd think after a few years I'd "grow out of" this cartoon, but these characters are just too good to let go. The skeleton the cartoon gave us combined with what some of the authors on this sight have done with these characters is amazing, and I find myself coming back to them even after all these years. Here's a little blurb, just a little conversation I wanted to put out there. Enjoy!

The sun was just peeking over the horizon, pink and orange dancing across the white caps of the deep blue waves. The warmth associated with the sun had not yet caught up to the light, though, and the masked boy pulled his companion closer to his chest, her small form comfortably situated between his legs. He rested his chin on her shoulder and blew a soft stream of air into her face, smiling at her quick, confused reaction. She swatted at his knee before returning her hand to beneath her cloak to rest on the arm he had wrapped around her waist.

"What do you want?" Robin whispered into the slowly warming air. He felt her soft violet hair move against his cheek as she cocked her head ever-so-slightly in thought. A bird landed on the far corner of the tower's roof and silently ruffled its feathers.

"Understanding," Raven finally replied, her voice low and steady.

"What does that mean?"

"It means…" her brow crinkled as she searched for the right words before she continued in that same low voice. Robin focused on every syllable, for even though their cheeks were all but touching, the breeze threatened to carry her words into the air.

"It means I want understanding. An understanding of how I feel, how you feel. Understanding that I… that I want you. I want to know your heart forever, and in my wildest hopes and dreams, I want you to mirror that. Mirror forever, even if it takes some time." Her gaze never left the sea as she spoke, and although her voice betrayed no emotion, Robin could feel her body tense against his.

"Mirroring forever is infinite," he murmured, not knowing quite what to say. He gently kissed her exposed jaw and felt rather than saw the slight smile appear at the corner of her lips.

"I know," she said almost wistfully. "I'm a little crazy like that." She felt Robin's chest shake softly as he chuckled.

"I wouldn't have it any other way."
