Chapter one: Books, music, eyes

It was the middle of a summer afternoon in Jump city. Raven sat perfectly still in a perfectly silent room reading her book. She was so interested in what lie between the pages that she had become a complete stranger to what was happening around her. So, she was very surprised when she suddenly heard a soft peaceful noise reach her ears. She peered up over her book to see someone else sitting at the other end of the room, playing a guitar. She was a bit confused at first, she was sure she was alone, how had she not noticed? He had beautiful blonde, wavy hair and huge, mesmerizing, gorgeous, green eyes. He stopped strumming his guitar and smiled at Raven sweetly, then went back to playing. She remembered his name was Jericho; he was one of the only titans that had escaped the Brotherhood of Evil's plan, and had helped Beast-boy save the other titans. Usually Raven would have left the room because someone else was there, but Jericho was very quiet and he didn't seem like he would disturb her, plus he seemed nice and his music was calming, so she went back to reading.

Unfortunately the peace was broken a few minutes later when Beast-boy and Cyborg decided they wanted to play the game console, loudly. Then again when Kid-Flash and Más y Menos started a 1000 lap race around the room. Raven and Jericho had both had enough, they got up and left. They both walked down the hallway towards another room.

"This room is usually quiet," said Raven as she opened the door, Jericho smiled and then made some complicated hand movements. Raven remembered now, Robin had said something about Jericho not being able to speak so he used sign language to communicate. Luckily Raven had learned sign language from a book a few months ago; she knew Jericho was saying thank-you. "You're welcome," she replied. They sat down on the couch and resumed their activities. But only a few minutes later Starfire, Terra, Kole, Jinx, Argent, Pantha and Bumble-bee entered the room.

"Oh, Raven my dear friend!" exclaimed Star excitedly, "We have been doing the looking for you; we are going out to enjoy the iced cream and the corn that has been popped!" "A girls day out" said Jinx,
"Do you wanna come?" asked Bumble-bee.
"Thanks, but I'd rather stay here and finish my book" Raven replied dryly.
"Are you sure?" asked Terra, "It's going to lots of fun and –"
"I'm sure," said Raven as she got up and left the room before they could try to persuade her.

Jericho got up and followed her, "That must be one interesting book," he joked.
"Why can't they understand that I'd just rather be left alone" grumbled Raven. Jericho's face turned sad "oh, okay, sorry" he said and started walking back down the hallway. "Huh? No, wait, not you" she called back, "I don't mind if you stay!" Jericho turned on his heel and looked back at Raven's desperate face, "are you sure?" he asked. Raven nodded. "I was hoping you'd say that" he smiled as he started walking back towards her.

They walked up the stairs together until they got to a door, "Okay, hopefully there is no one on the roof" said Raven as she opened the door. There wasn't anyone on the roof, so they sat next to each other on the edge and tried to resume reading/ playing the guitar. This time nobody interrupted them, but before they knew it the sun had started setting. Raven soon realised it had gotten too dark to read without hurting her eyes so she put down her book and looked out over the horizon. "So ... what book were you reading?" asked Jericho, he had stopped strumming away on his guitar. The melody had been so beautiful that Raven missed it already. "Oh, it's called Dream meanings; it's about understanding what your dreams mean." Raven replied

"Sounds interesting" He smiled.
"It is," she said, "did you know that if you dream about flying then you're feeling free, but if you're having trouble flying then it means that you're afraid of trying new things?"
"And if you have a dream where your teeth fall out it means that you're self-conscious" Jericho added. "Yeah, how did you know?" Raven wondered.
"I've read the book" he laughed. Raven smiled, but only the tiniest bit.
Then something hit Jericho, "I'm so sorry," he said, "I've completely forgotten to introduce myself, I'm Jericho, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Raven blushed just a tiny bit "a pleasure to meet me?" she thought, "no one has ever said it was a pleasure to meet me …" Then she realised she should probably say something back, "Um, Th-Thanks" she blushed, "I'm Raven, it's … nice to meet you too." She cringed at the word 'nice,' she didn't say that much. She took a deep breath, why did she find it so hard to talk to him all of a sudden? She could feel her face go from grey to bright red.
Jericho smirked when he saw her face, "You have beautiful eyes" he said softly. Raven almost fell off the roof! Someone was telling her she had pretty eyes? She couldn't believe it, "t-th-thanks" she managed to stutter. She looked up into Jericho's huge, emerald, eyes. They were so beautiful, mesmerizing, captivating, like they could see right through her … into her mind. Her eyes were nothing compared to his. Or so she thought, but obviously Jericho thought differently. He looked deep into her amethyst eyes, he thought they were absolutely stunning; they were so dark and mysterious, and, he wasn't sure, but he could swear that he saw them glow. Just a tiny bit, but it made them even more … enchanting. They had no idea how long they had been staring into each other's eyes, it felt like forever and yet it couldn't last for long enough. They could have sat like that for hours if the alarm hadn't gone off.

Suddenly they both snapped out of their trance and rushed down stairs.
"It's just plasmus making a fuss in town, we can take him easy so not everyone has to come."
"So who's going?" asked Cyborg. "Let's see, Terra and Raven we'll definitely need you two, Jinx, Kid-flash, Starfire, cyborg and Jericho you guys should come too."
"HOLD IT!" exclaimed Beast-boy "If Terra is goin' I wanna go two."
"Oh, alright, I suppose it couldn't hurt" Robin sighed.
"YAY" shouted BB as he rushed over and hugged his girlfriend tight, she smiled and patted his head.
