A dark figure stood over her barely conscious body. His arms at her sides. She could feel his hot breath prickling her skin.

"Wake up." He whispered, "We're going out."

"Damian." Raven groaned, "Go back to sleep, it's the middle of the night."

"No, it's not." His toothy grin was visible despite the darkness of her room, "It's two AM."

"Worse." She flipped over to her side, "Let me sleep."

"Raven, I had another nightmare and you know what the therapist said about that."

Raven sighed. The day of his Ra's' death was approaching quickly and he'd been having nightmares. His therapist recommend that when he had one to take a break and distract himself from the nightmares.

"Why do you have to take me?" She whined immaturely

He pouted at me, "Because reasons. Throw something over yourself, or not. I don't care, I just need to get this out of my head."

Raven obliged. He was her friend and he needed her the most out of everyone on their team. He'd do the same if she were in his position.

"What're we going to do?" I
Raven asked and put a leather jacket over the black tank top she wore to sleep.

"I don't know yet. And must you change all your clothes?"

I shrugged and stretched on my black fingerless gloves, "You know the paparazzi." I changed from my sweats to a pair of black leggings. Who cared if Damian was still in the room? They'd become good friends over the last years and she became comfortable with this.

"Can we please just go?" He pleaded

"Shoes, Dami." I said and laced up my dark combat boots

"Finally!" He grabbed her wrist and lead her out of the room.

"What is this?" Raven asked. He currently had his hand over her eyes, disabling the view of the room she was in.

"You'll see." He said and carefully led her around, his hand on her hip guiding her.

He uncovered Raven's face, "Here we are, Rae."

Raven gasped. It was a hidden area in the park we often visited. Tall bushes aligned the area, hiding it from view. It was peppered with several flower gardens. The moonlight reflected onto a small lake that was surrounded by a few benches. In the middle was a beautiful fountain that sprayed water into a small pool set below it. A premade picnic dinner was spread out in front of the lake.

"Damian, I-" She started.

"Sh." He cut her off, "Just look."

She obliged, nodded, and sat on one of the benches admiring the scenery.

Without thinking, Raven rested her head on his shoulder. She blushed at the involuntary move she made but kept it there.

"Rae?" He asked, sounding tired

"Hmm?" She hummed in response

"Are you tired?"

"Just a little bit."

"I should take you back home so you could go to sleep."

"No, I like it here."

He stroked her hair, "Are you sure? You sound tired."

"It's 3 A.M. Damian, of course I'm going to sound tired. How about you?"

"Who the hell cares?" He shrugged, "I brought you here so you could see this."

"It's gorgeous." She admired, smiling at the landscape

"Just like you." She heard him whisper

"What was that?" I asked, wanting to hear it again

"Nothing, Rae. Just go to sleep, don't worry about it."

He stretched over himself and took the blanket underneath the picnic basket and placed it gently over my shoulders. He wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him.

"Dami.." Raven blushed heavily.

"Shh, just go to sleep. It's 3 A.M."

She wearily nodded and fell asleep right there on his shoulder.

But just before Raven fell asleep, she felt a gentle feeling press on her forehead and the words, "I love you."
