1. Cry

"It's okay to cry."

Raven was never one to cry. Having learned to control her emotions, she was able to control herself most of the time.

But now, as the pain built up in her chest and swelled into her heart, she couldn't hold it back any longer.

Hugging the teary-eyed purple-haired girl closer to him, he let her sob quietly for a few minutes before speaking again.

"Just don't worry any more. He'll never hurt you again. Just know that you're safe with me."

2. Ring

Dick looked down at the small leather box in his hand and opened it.

It was a simple yet elegant ring, a single golden band with three small amethysts that matched exactly the color of her eyes. He knew that from the moment when he knelt down in front of her and opened the box, it would decide the rest of their lives.

He quickly closed the box. Sometime tonight, he decided, he would propose.

3. Identity

"So...what's your secret identity?" Raven asked Robin one day, out of curiosity.

"I'm not telling you," Robin answered stubbornly.

"Robin," Raven sighed, "I've known you for what, five years now? You know, it's about time you told us."

"Fine, I'll tell you first. But please don't tell the others yet."

He took a deep breath. "My real name is Dick Grayson."

Silence.

"Ha ha, you're a Dick."

4. Baby

As she settled in next to her husband for the night, Raven hid a small smile.

"What's going on? You seem to be unusually happy tonight," Dick said.

"I am. I've just learned the baby's gender."

"But it's only two months!"

"Remember, I'm an empath. I can sense emotions. The baby's already beginning to have emotions, but they're very primitive and yet undeveloped. They're distinctive enough, though, that I can tell what gender they are."

"So...will you tell me?"

"I will. But the earliest I'll let you know is four to five months in," Raven said, smirking.

"No fair!"

5. Dawn

It was their favorite time of day.

Sitting on the roof in the cool breeze, it was nice to simply watch the sun slowly rise over the thin line of the horizon, bathing them in golden light.

Sometimes they talked. Sometimes they said nothing at all.

But at dawn, the world was completely theirs.

6. Issues

"I'm too short."

"I'm not curvy enough."

"My boobs aren't big enough."

"I look too old."

"I'm not pretty."

"Raven, all women have body issues. What makes you think you're the only one?"

7. Amethysts

If there was something he loved most about her, it was her amethyst eyes.

They had many moods deep within them. Sometimes they were filled with contemplation or deep thought. Sometimes worry. Sometimes pain or anguish.

They laughed, they cried, they smiled. They were indeed mysterious, for they were not of a color on this earth.

But when he looked into them that night, and they looked back into his deep sapphire eyes, there was only one thing he could see within them.

It was love.

"I love you, Raven."

"I love you too, Richard."

8. Smile

Raven rarely ever smiled. Having learned to control her emotions, she had to suppress her expression of them in order to control her powers.

But when she did, it was a soft, soft smile. The edges of her gray lips would be turned slightly upwards, and though it would only last for a moment or two before fading away, it made him happy.

It was really the simplest of things, but it always made him happy to see her happy.

9. Darkness

There is no light without darkness. And yet there is no darkness without light.

She thought he would never want her, never like her because of the darkness of her soul and her heritage.

But in fact, it was the opposite.

It was the way she dealt with her darkness that made him admire her. And it was her hidden light from within that made her shine.

10. Uncertainty

"I'm not sure if I should try. I don't want to make the same mistakes as I did with you."

"Give her a chance. Besides, she might be the 'surprised'."

"But Starfire, she's different. She's not the kind of person to want to jump into these kinds of things immediately."

"Robin." Starfire whirled around to look him in the eye. "Even if she does give you the rejection, you'll still be friends. Friendship is what matters, is it not?"

Robin sat and thought for a moment, considering Starfire's words.

"Fine, Star, I'll try. But not right now. Later tonight."
