I'll Be Home For Christmas
Every time she stared at that calendar flashbacks of when he left fly through her mind, she blinks back tears at the thought of him.
Forget him.
Her head tells her.
Remember he's coming back.
Her heart would defend. She tried to force the memories out of her head, but they keep coming back.
Flashback
Starfire laid on her bed in deep thought, Robin had been in his room all day long. She wondered if he had forgotten that tonight was Christmas Eve and tomorrow would be Christmas. She smiled as she could remember the first Christmas she had with the Titans, Raven even managed to smile.
"I must know what he is up to."
She rose from her bed and was out the door, down the hall to Robin's room. She quietly knocked on the door and waited for him to respond. She waited and waited…..and waited. She knocked again, but a litle louder this time.
"Robin are you in there?"
She heard some shuffling and then the door slide open to reveal a rather grief stricken Robin. He rubbed the back of his neck as she smiled at him.
"Hey Star, sorry I've been…busy."
She bit her bottom lip and her brow crinkled as she gazed at him.
"Too busy for your girlfriend?"
Robin mentally slapped himself for ignoring her all day, he slapped himself even harder for not telling her something as important as what had been packing for. in I need to tell you something."
He moved to the side as he stepped in. She had only been in his room a couple of times, but she had never seen it this messy before. Clothes thrown askew, papers everywhere, and a big suitcase laid on his bed half full of clothes.
"Are you leaving the night of the Eve of Christmas?"
Robin cringed as he remembered the day, he had totally forgotten Christmas. He sighed as he sat down on the bed and took both of her hands in his.
"Star I have to leave."
Worry and puzzlement crept up into her eyes, but before she could say anything he continued.
"But only for a bit, I'll be back soon. I promise."
She looked at him curiously he eyes searching for an answer, with a sigh she looked away.
"Where are you going and on a night such as this I thought you would like to spend it with friends, with me."
She said the last part more softly, Robin tilted her chin up so she was now looking at him again.
"I know it seems weird, but I have to leave, but like I said I'll come back. I'm only going to be gone a couple of weeks."
She nodded as she blinked back tears. He kissed her lips softly before leaving. Starfire sighed as she returned back to her room and laid down on her bed. Only a couple of weeks, she thought to herself, she could handle it.
End of flashback.
But those weeks turned to months and those months crept into years and before she knew it four years had passed by. It was Christmas Eve and the rest of the Titans were rushing around the tower, making cookies, hanging lights, decorating the tree. They were doing anything to make it like the old days. Star smiled slightly as she walked out into the living room, she loved how her friends would go to such lengths to bring the Christmas spirit back, but nothing would be the same without him.
"Hey Star!"
She turned around to see her friend Beast Boy holding out a plate of cookies. Over the four years Beast Boy had grown taller, but was still slightly shorter than herself, he had grown a bit more muscular and his hair turned a bit darker, but his eyes were still the same.
"Try one! I made them myself."
She smiled and took a Santa cookie from the plate and took a big bite, the more cookie gave a satisfying taste to her tongue and she gave a thumbs up to the changeling. He beamed at her as he ran over to Raven, giving one to her. Star giggled as she walked over to Cyborg, who was messing with the lights.
"Hey Cyborg, need any help?"
Cyborg only mumbled as he continued to concentrate on the wires. Cyborg had grown a bit too, but besides that he hadn't changed. She patted his back and moved on to help Raven decorate the tree.
"Hey Raven."
The Goth girl smiled at her and handed her a box of lights.
"Want to string them on the tree?"
Star nodded and began going around the tree. Raven had let her hair grown out and she had grown a couple of inches, but was still the shorted person of all the titans. Star herself had also changed. Her English had improved, she stayed the same size, her hair had grown longer almost touching her bottom, but her eyes were still the same sparkling emerald they had always been.
"I'm going outside for some fresh air, be back."
Star grabbed purple jacket and walked out the door. She thrust her hands in her jean pockets and stuck out her tongue as the small white flakes hit the tips of her tongue. She giggled to herself as she glided over to the frozen water. She slowly placed one foot then the other. She danced on the ice as she did figure eights, leaps and jumps. Ice skating had become one of her favorite hobbies when she wasn't fighting crime
She came to a stop as she fell down on the snow, she closed her eyes an embraced the cold.
"Another year and he still hasn't returned."
"I wouldn't say that."
Starfire sat up quickly to see the person who had just spoken to her. She made a small gasp as her hand flew to her mouth. Robin stood before, but he was different. He was much taller, taller than herself, his hair was still the same old black spikes, but what intrigued her the most was his gorgeous sapphire eyes.
"Robin?"
He smiled as he stood there, hands in his pocket feet set firm in the snow.
"Hey Star."
Before Robin could do anything else, Starfire had ran and jumped into his arms. This caught him off guard and they both fell down into the snow. In the distance the clock struck midnight and the door opened as the three other Titans stood watching the scene quietly.
"You came back."
Star could feel the tears come to her eyes. Robin whipped one that rolled down her cheek, a goofy smile played on his lips.
"I promised you I would come back, I was just a couple of years late."
She laid her head on his warm chest as she breathed in the cold air.
"Star I'll always come home for Christmas if you're here waiting for me."
"I love you." She breathed.
"I love you too."
He then tilted her chin up and their lips touched in a joyous kiss, the titans cheered behind them and both broke apart. Robin frowned slightly.
"I didn't get you anything Star."
She smiled up at him, her warm breath licked his lips.
"All I wanted for Christmas was you."
Robin returned her smiled and kissed her lips again.
"Well then Merry Christmas."
Cyborg smiled as he leaned against the door, but the peaceful moment was ruined by a snowball right in his face. He quickly turned to see the culprit.
"Beast Boy."
Beast Boy laughed nervously as he dropped the next ball in his hands. Cyborg smirked and scooped up a pile of snow, but Beast Boy ducked and it hit Raven. She turned on the two, eyes red and began throwing some of her own. The boys screamed and ducked for cover and the snowballs ended up hitting the happy couple.
"Hey!"
Starfire smiled at Robin and both picked up their own snowballs and joined in the fight. All was well that Christmas night and the Spirit of Christmas had finally returned.
Okay so I lied I decided to do these stories instead to celebrate Christmas and the month of December. Originally this was just going to be one oneshot, but I decided to make a story full of oneshots, songfics, drabbles. I hope you liked the first short story, more to come!
Peace Out!
