He was in a situation, and he knew it. He had uttered the words "I'm really just.. confused about what we are.." and he knew that he couldn't take them back. He hadn't been able to think straight since the last time your lips were on his, and things had escalated undoubtedly farther than you two really expected. There was no label..and sure, he was fine with that...he thinks. Every time he'd thought he managed to break past your walls, though.. you'd find some way to keep him in the dark. Raven wanted to avoid being the one to look stupid, basically. He was sure that this was just...casual fun for you. But, you really were the only one he trusted to be as close as you two were.. Does he really love you? He's being dramatic, he assures himself.

Your grumpy coworker Raven and you had grown pretty close since you came to the job. When you'd heard the other employees describe him as a 'zombie' or unfeeling, you were shocked to be honest. Though, he was quieter, and a bit moody.. he was warmer to you. Wordlessly picking up your slack sometimes, letting you share his lunch if you forgot your own, teaching you the ropes. God, it started creeping everyone else out at work when he started smiling all of a sudden. You liked him.. he liked you. You'd begun hanging out more outside of work, hanging out turned to kissing in secret, kissing in secret turned to one...passionate mistake. Was it a mistake? How did you feel?
