Author’s Note: These are taking place when the titans are, well, titans… Meaning that (for example) Raven will be Raven instead of Rachel Roth. Unless otherwise mentioned.
These aren’t going to form a story, but they won’t be drabbles, either. Just free-standing.
This one had an odd feel to it but I hope it was OK. It was written much earlier in the month and only just now got it posted. Just in time. So so sorry about that. >.>;
EDIT: My router has been having some issues and this seems to have been posted somewhat out of order or later or something. Sorry for any troubles.

List of Kisses

(“I got you these flowers.” Her voice dropped quietly on the last word as, with hesitation, she held out a bouquet.

Robin shot her a glance as he pulled out the vase from the shelf it was on and set it on the counter. “What’re these for?”

Raven colored slightly; the natural grey tone of her skin warming with a pink hue. “Well I know that you got me flowers before so…I wanted to get you some.”

Robin smiled behind his mask and delicately began arranging the stems in the vase. “Is it not customary for a man to get the woman he is courting flowers?”

Raven was throwing away the cellophane the florist had wrapped the flowers in. “I suppose.. most normal people do that, yes.” The flowers he had gotten her had been nice, a beautiful blend of muted pinks, purples, and a hint of silvery-blue blossom she had been unable to identify.

“Didn’t you like them?” Robin raised his eyebrows at her as he came around from behind the bouquet. “You never said anything about it before now.”

“I did like them. Very much.” Raven looked up at him as he came close enough to slide his arms around her waist. “So I wanted to return your favor. Are these ones nice?”

“Yes,” Robin replied, looking at the white and pink blossoms. “And it is nice to have flowers in the room. They brighten the place up a bit.”

“I’m glad you like them,” Raven said, leaning into his comforting embrace.

Robin smiled as he pressed his lips to the top of her head. He appreciated her thoughtfulness every day, even if it was only in the quiet moments like this that he could show it.)
