I hope it's still not too late to submit this. I am not aware of the current time there oversees.

Raven's stomach was making weird noises in the middle of the night. She was definitely hungry. She tried to ignore it but it only roared louder. Annoyed, she made her way to the common room to fetch something to eat, a snack would do.

She looked through the cupboard to get some food. But then, she closed it. She remembered that she doesn't even know how to cook. She opened the fridge and her eye twitched at the sight. There were various items in it. The thing was, almost all of it were covered with blue molds.

If she were Starfire, she could've mistaken it for food and eat it right away, but she wasn't. She ransacked the fridge to see if there's still something left, spared by the molds. Her eyes then found a box of chocolates. That should probably do the trick.

She popped one chocolate in her mouth after the other. She had to admit it. The tastes of the chocolates were addictive. She ate almost all the chocolates in the box. Only one was left. She felt dizzy afterwards. Her vision became hazy. She was hiccupping through the process and tried her best to stand up straight but she tumbled and utensils fell on the floor with her.

Robin had gone out of his room. He remembered the chocolates he put in the fridge. He was supposed to hide it in a better place. After all, it has alcoholic content in it and Beast Boy or Starfire could've eaten it and get drunk. And that wasn't a good thing to see.

He went to the common room, just in time to hear the noisy clatter of the utensils falling on the floor. He dashed through the origin of the noise and his eyes widened upon seeing the box of chocolates, opened and eaten.

'Oh no. This is bad. Who could've eaten it in this late time? Starfire? Beast Boy? Cyborg?' He didn't mention Raven's name, knowing that she wasn't so much of a fan of sweets.

He jerked up when a figure jumped out, hiccupping and giggling. It was from a girl. He opened the lights and saw Raven, her face was red, her giggles suppressed, and knees were like made of jelly.

"Raven? You ate these chocolates?" She nodded in response, smiling like crazy.

"But why?"

"Hun-hic! Hungry- Hic!" Was her only response to his question. He shook his head. He never thought Raven would eat sweets and now, she's nothing but totally drunk. She tried to walk towards him but she stumbled. Luckily, Robin caught her before her face hits the cold floor.

"I'll make you some tea." He helped Raven walk and left her sitting on a chair. He prepared her a tea and him a cup of coffee. He placed the mug in front of her and she just stared at it, and then looked at him once more.

"Drink it. It'll help reduce your drunkenness." But she just gave him an innocent look. One that you would rarely, a.k.a once in a blue, see coming from her. He stopped himself from attempting to compliment her look.

"Don't give me that look, Rae. Now, go and start drinking you tea. I know you always loved it." She let off a smile. She didn't seem to mind him calling her in her nickname.

"Why are you smiling, Rae? Is there something wrong?" He asked but he got her giggles for an answer. He wasn't annoyed seeing her like that. In fact, he was enjoying it. This should've been his lucky night. He had accidentally brought his camera with him. He turned it and started recording Raven giggling like a little girl.

"What's so fun, Rae? Why do you keep giggling?"

"I-Hic! Have an-Hic! Idea!" She beamed at him. He chuckled at her childish attitude.

"Really? What idea?" He sipped from his mug of coffee, waiting for her answer.

"Me, riding-Hic! You." Robin almost spitted his coffee at her. Like you wouldn't be surprised if you heard someone saying that to you.

"You what? You've got to be kidding me, Rae." He raised a brow at her and gave her a serious look. It was reflected in her eyes that she was serious.

"No, Rae. We can't do that. Think of it. What if the other titans caught us? That would be a big issue." His words were totally disagreeing the idea but deep inside, he was thinking of considering it. He mentally shook his head. Why was he thinking that? He should know better. He can't use Raven's current state to his advantage. He was her leader after all.

Raven looked teary-eyed when she heard the word no. Some bulbs started to explode due to her lack of control with her emotions. Panic built up in Robin's system.

"Okay, okay, Rae. You can ride me already." She calmed down and smiled at him again. He gulped. He just said yes to her request. So what now? Are they really gonna do it?

"Yay! Robin's-- Hic! Gonna give me a-- hic! Piggy-back ride!" She cheered like a little kid being given a jar of candies. His mouth dropped, realizing he had misinterpreted what she said about her riding him. He face-palmed himself. How could he be so stupid? He was so embarrassed with himself. To think that he had idiotic thoughts running in his mind.

Robin turned his back at her, releasing a sigh. He placed the camera on the counter. "Hop on." Raven did and hopped on his back. Her arms were on his shoulders, hands clasped together. Robin carried her the way she wanted it.

She held tightly to him, her body pressed unto him. Her head resting on his right shoulder, he could feel her breathe near his ear. It tickled him but didn't protest; he didn't want to disturb Raven. She felt comfortable in her position.

He was walking down the hall. He thought that he might as well bring her to her room once she's asleep. He then felt something hot touching his right ear. Raven was nibbling his ear. He stopped on his tracks, face turning red, very red.

"R-r-Rae! Stop nibbling my ear!" But she was stubborn she still did it. Apparently, she was dreaming of herself eating ice cream in a hot summer day. But Robin had to admit, he was enjoying it. Yet he knew that it should stop. He should make his move. He needed to get a grip of his self. Control. That's what he exactly needed.

Before he could even speak once more, Raven stopped. She was now sleeping soundly. He exhaled. That was a close call. He smiled to himself as he started walking again. He reached Raven's room and deposited her there.

He gently patted her hair. 'You really are something, Raven.' He grinned and kissed her forehead. His experience with her tonight was indeed a test. A test of his self-control where he successfully passed.

He was on his way to his room when he remembered he forgot something again. His camera!

He went back to the common room only to find out Cyborg and Beast Boy watching whatever it was he recorded. A cold chill ran through his spine as Cyborg's eyes landed on him. Even Beast Boy had this creepy look on his face.

"Robin!!!"
