Chapter Thirty Two

He let out a sigh while swinging his legs over the fence he sat on, that surrounded the fountain. Throwing his head back to look at the sky he saw dark clouds rolling in threatening for there to be rain later.

After running from the stranger on the bus Raven was gaining another bad headache like before causing the wait for her to arrive to become an even scarier task. He was beginning to regret coming to the park, believing that someone like her would actually just give him clothes when he knew himself that it was a little strange to even ask.

He couldn't help but worry that maybe this Ashley woman was truly up to something with how late she was running. That is if she would even show up now that he was out there. It wasn't like there was going to be a guarantee that she would have a slight interest in showing having possibly planned all along to make him wait out there alone.

Raven huffed looking back down to the ground almost cursing aloud wondering if this meant he had risked coming out into public for nothing. Without his phone it wasn't like he could call Maney for help either if something were to go wrong.

While Raven was spacing off in his own thoughts he didn't even notice someone had approached him until their figure cast a shadow over his face. This shadow stopped over his body making him become aware of his surroundings once again knowing they were too close to him to just be passing by.

"Robin?" The voice of a young man around Raven's age asked while he was looking down at the girl before him.

Raven narrowed his brow confused as he acknowledged the name he had given himself. Though, after having yet to tell that many people of this name, he was confused by who would be calling to him by this name already if no. The only men who knew of this name were Menay and Carson and they did not sound like the one in front of him.

Raven became curious though he remained cautious while looking up to see who was standing in front of him. He still feared that he was already getting to that point that even looking someone in the eyes could be dangerous.

When Raven's eyes ventured up the male's body he took in the appearance, he noticed a few familiar details about him though he could not place them. When he got to the guy's waist Raven noticed the bag by his side within his grasp. Scuffing, Raven was even more confused when he looked up to the young man's face it wasn't anyone he had ever met before yet he recognized him. With the bag in his hand Raven was right to assume this guy was there because of Ashley and since he carried so many similar features to Ashley. There was no doubt in Raven's mind that the two were related.

Though where she seemed to never drop a gentle smile he looked irritated just by Raven's presence alone. He knew this was because of him even if he didn't understand why this was. Raven knew this was the bag of clothes he was supposed to get but then he couldn't understand why there was a young man and not Ashley calling his fake name.

Looking around the male's body he couldn't help but to look for her. However, as he didn't see Ashley anywhere around. Being confident that this guy was talking to him since he was standing in front of Raven peering down. Raven still awkwardly pointed to himself just to make sure, like to ask him to confirm.

The dark brown haired man growled blowing the loose strands out of his face before placing the bag in front of his and Raven's feet. "I called your name three times to get your attention, why didn't you respond?" He snarled annoyed that he had to go all the way over to where Raven was sitting just to get his attention.

Raven looked up at him for a moment then registered what he had said. He understood now why this stranger seemed flustered with him since it appeared while Raven was spacing thinking of his worries he didn't answer to being called. Since he was not used to being called Robin he didn't even notice and even with regret a part of him hoped he would never have to get used to it.

Before he went to apologize he was cut off hearing the man suck on his teeth looking away from Raven for a moment agitated. Raven quickly retracted his apology before it left him as this sort of annoyed him. He knew it was his fault to have not been looking for his new name to be called but in his defense he also did not expect this to be a male's voice calling for him. So this man was just as much to blame as Raven was.

"Ugh..." Raven scuffed holding back knowing his reasons for being there had yet to be given to him.

"Well?" the man persisted.

Raven arched a brow no longer able to hold back, folding his arms over one another looking back to the man giving attitude, "I have no idea who you even are, let's start questions there" he responds ignoring the previous question knowing he couldn't answer.

He scoffed while looking down at Raven's spunky response even if he didn't answer his question. He clearly no longer cared why Raven didn't answer to Robin but now he wanted to mess with Raven.

"Ashley's brother... are you ill in the head?" He states while arching a brow, "Can't you tell? we're twins after all" he taunted while leaning in a bit treating Raven like he were ignorant.

Raven growled about to snap back insulted by the comments before he paused. He retracted his attitude recalling that Ashely had spoke of him the day before. Now that he said it Raven was able to see where he and her were almost exactly alike except being the male version of her.

"Oh..." Raven muttered dropping his arms giving up his attitude wondering if this meant she wasn't going to be coming after all. Now he was with the brother that wanted to avoid meeting since they went to the same school he couldn't accept being alone with him, "Where's Ashley at?" he inquired hoping she were maybe just parking the car.

"She had to cover for an employee," He explained giving a smirk, "I was free so she asked me to come down here" He adds.

The way he said this made Raven feel a little more comfortable about the situation. He seemed to give off the same feeling, that he didn't want to be there just as much as Raven did, which meant he had no interest in Raven.

Knowing it was safe Rave was appreciative of the clothes but he was ready to go now more than before. He reached down to the bag, opening it up, he started shoving the contents of it into his book bag to better hide what it contained still being embarrassed by the thought before looking back up at the man before him to say farewell.

Her brother had his hands stuck in his pockets just staring down at Raven giving no waiver to show he would be leaving any time soon. Raven narrowed his brow to the sudden change being sure that this was the very young man that seemed to be in a rush to leave.

Raven became nervous thinking that this new peak of interest was maybe that his energy was running lower than before. He was almost afraid to look up at him but he did anyways testing his luck, he needed to know. After fleeing from the last guy so easily he was sure he knew he could run if needed from this one too.

Taking his chances he looked up at him and noticed the young man didn't seem to be looking at him in the same way as the others. Raven sighed in relief to see that this guy wasn't changing, yet. Knowing he didn't want to test it nor find out what he wanted it was time to go so he smiled lightly while standing from the fence.

"Well, tell Ashley I said thank you... oh and thanks for bringing me the clothes" Raven claimed trying to get out without seeming ungrateful.

The man arched a brow folding his arms over one another, "Where are you going?" He questioned moving his foot into Raven's path, preventing him from walking away.

Thrown off by this he almost didn't answer, just like he hadn't before with the man from the bus the question made him nervous. However while looking up at him Raven quickly changed his mind, "Home" he finally replies not seeing the harm in it knowing this man didn't know who he really was or where he lived.

"No you are not" He chuckled out, "We're going shopping like Ash promised you" he declares while reaching out to grab Raven's arm.

Before Raven could move his arm he was grasped which made him react quickly trying to pull himself free though Ashley's brother started pulling Raven in the direction he wished to go.

Even though it was true, she mentioned going shopping, he did not know she had promised this. Rather he assumed she only wanted to go shopping because it was some girl related hobby. He was not aware that no matter who was there they were going to go shopping anyways.

He didn't like the sound of this and remember he had no money to go shopping, "I don't have money, seriously I'm going home" Raven struggled to say as he couldn't seem to pull out of his grasp.

Though he hated it, Raven was semi used to this kind of treatment from Carson pulling him around. However, he was always a guy, not a girl, when Carson pulled him around but this guy, who Raven didn't know, was pulling him around when he was a woman. It bothered Raven to the core that he was so easily dragged around by a total stranger.

"Don't worry I have it covered, Ash will pay me back." He looked over his shoulder at Rave and arched an eyebrow. "Besides, you're not wearing a bra and Ashley didn't have any of those or panties to spare in that bag, you're going to need those" He informed while glancing back over his shoulder at Raven.

Raven covered his chest with his free arm quickly while his face was turning red with anger. This had been the second guy to not only notice but tell him they noticed he was exposed. This made him want to fight back from the statement but it was true he was getting the hint that he needed at least one bra.

Even so his eyes looked him over for a moment and knew this wasn't the kind of guy he wanted to get undressed around. "I'd rather not go shopping with you for those kinds of things..." he states finally pulling his arm free from him making it clear that even if he needed those items he wasn't going to get them with a strange man.

He looked back at Raven while raising his hands giving a smirk, "Come on, I've been shopping with my sister enough that you can count me as one of the girls and twins are like one of mind or something" He said lightly as he picked around trying to convince Raven he meant no harm.

Even with jokes at his expense he could tell none of it was getting through. Raven wasn't in the mood for joking around at that very moment and it showed on his face. He sighed as he gave up teasing around and got serious, "I promise I won't do anything you don't like..." He claimed still in a playful manner, "I'm seriously just here to do a favor for my sister no funny stuff." he adds this time dropping the taunting tone of voice.

Raven glanced him over trying to see through his lies but saw nothing. Even though Raven still had a bad feeling about this, he felt that since they were going to public places he knew he wouldn't be attacked by this guy out right unless the pheromones kicked in again and then it wouldn't matter who he was around. It also meant that he would be out in public if he were get low of energy but it was just for shopping that he needed so that was a risk he needed to take.

He huff while glancing away agreeing to follow him anyways, "Fine" he accepted giving into going with him.
