-I don’t imagine your relationship would’ve started off well
-Maybe you bumped into her when she was having a bad day and she just took offence to it
-She would end up ranting to Charles about “the idiot new teacher with the nice hair”
-This would go on for a few days before Charles told her it sounded like a crush
-Which she denied
-Vehemently
-But Charles’ words stuck with her, and the more she realised that she did in fact have a crush on you
-And she hated it. All the mushy feelings messing with her head.
-So, one day when her thoughts of you became overwhelming, she went up to you and asked you to join her for dinner.
-“I thought you’d never ask” you replied, smirking at her
-“You knew I liked you!??!”
-“Charles said so about two months ago…”
-She then lectured Charles for an hour on privacy
-But she did take you to an Italian restaurant for dinner
-And it became a little tradition in your relationship to go have Italian food, brought or made, on your anniversaries
-Raven is very protective. Overbearingly so, especially if you are smaller than her in anyway.
-She would want to train you in combat, even if your mutation wasn’t anything offensive or defensive in any matter
-She insisted it was necessary to learn
-But I don’t see Raven pursuing a non-mutant partner. I think it would cause a rift in the relationship, especially with how she spent so many years being ashamed of her appearance.
-Charles would love to get to know you better
-Mainly so he could share embarrassing stories about a younger Raven
-She would try to put a stop to these meetings as soon as she learnt the topic of conversation
-The ban on you to be left alone together wouldn’t last
-Especially since Charles would insist on coming to to your shared room/home, depending on if you were staying in the school or not, unannounced and refused to leave for hours on end
-You didn’t help the cause by laughing at the persistence
-Raven gave up in the end but always insisted on you two having alone time afterwards
-So it wasn’t a bad trade at all
