No one's P.O.V.

Just as they planned to do, Robin and Raven did have the night of their lives. They went out, had fun, then rented a hotel room to sleep in. They went to parties. They went to arcades. They went to all kinds of fun places, and had enjoyed every single bit of it.

The next morning they awoke early, got dressed and headed out, but Raven still had no idea where they were going or what they were gonna do.
"Where are we heading?"
"I'm just shopping for some food, if you don't mind. I realized just before that we need food in our systems to complete the day without tiring out. And, I want to go somewhere to introduce you to some long distance friends I need to catch up with."
"Oh, alright."
They continued walking, until they reached a café.
"Alright, let's head in. Shall we?"
"Yeah."
They headed inside and ordered (as soon as they got their table).
"Really? You're ordering an iced coffee in a plastic bottle instead of just ordering it to drink here in a different bottle?" Raven asked, disappointment and curiousness I'm her tone. Her disappointment was only a joking kind though, which made it sort of funny. The male ebony chuckled softly.
"It's not for me, it's for someone that I'm very close to. That I need to catch up with."
"A friend?"
"Someone closer than that,"
"A best friend?"
Robin laughed. "No! Even closer than that! We've been close since I was about 11, he's a few years younger than me and loves coffee, iced or heated. He's very important and special to me, of course I visit whenever I can, but it was getting harder to visit since the titans would get suspicious.."
Raven paused, a finger on her lip and a confused look on her face.
"I see..."
She paused again.
"I'm sorry I couldn't help you then, I was a terrible friend and teammate.. I probably still am now, you know, being part demon and all... but anyways~. This person, is he possibly a brother figure of some sort to you? I'm guessing brother figure for the last guess."
The boy-hero smiled softly at that.
"Yes. You're close enough to it now, you have no need to be sorry, not at all. I don't mind,"
They sat in silence for another few seconds before Robin shifted to put the iced coffee into a bag of his. They waited a couple of minutes for their breakfast to arrive, in the meantime they joked and talked about past experiences.

"So you're telling me... you were born and raised in a circus?"
"Yep. Known well. I wasn't born in the circus, my parents performed in the circus I trained in, but it wasn't here in America. Anyways, yes I did grow up learning about what my parents performed. Acrobatics and gymnastics. That's why I use close range combat and flexibility to my advantage in a fight."
"Oh."
Just then, their breakfast had finally arrived, steaming hot and had looked absolutely delicious. They dug in, casually not minding how hot it exactly was. They commented about how good it was every now and then while their mouth was filled with food.

Once they finished they prepared to leave, before Robin said something about forgetting to grab a snack of some sort.

Raven waited outside while he took a few things from the cashier, then came jogging outside to meet up with her when he finished.
"Okay, let's go."
Before the girl-hero was about to reply with an approval, she rethought about it. Just as she was about to protest and ask where they were actually going, Robin bumped into someone on accident.
