Chapter 1: I need a break...

"Good morning Raven!" Starfire's happy smile and cheerful voice was the first thing Raven heard when she walked into the kitchen.

Raven shook her head. "Starfire what in the world are you doing up at 6:30 in the morning?"

Starfire blushed crimson and looked down, her feet shuffling.

"I just could not seem to sleep is all." Her nervous tone caused Raven to raise an eyebrow.

"Why not?"

Her blush increased and her face closely resembled the color of her hair.

"It was nothing important..." Her voice trailed off as someone walked into the room.

"Hello Robin!" She floated over to him and greeted him with a smile.

"Hi Star." He walked past her.

Her face fell. She had failed to notice his red face. She shook her head and walked to the counter.

"What would you like for breakfast Robin? I assume Raven would like her tea correct?"

"Herbal tea."

"I'll make my own breakfast Star."

Starfire bit the inside of her cheek. She always made breakfast what was wrong with Robin today. In fact he popped two pieces of toast into the toaster, buttered them when they were done, then walked out.

"I wonder where Robin is going with his breakfast?" Starfire wondered aloud.

"More then likely to train."

Starfire sighed.

"Robin seems to be acting rather strangely today...perhaps I shall visit him and see if there is something bothering him." With that she walked out of the kitchen passing a groggy looking Beast Boy.

"Hey Star," He yawned. "Can you make some tofu?"

"You will have to make your own breakfast today Beast Boy." Was her reply.

Beast Boy stared after as she marched down the hallway.

"That was..."

"Odd." A voice said from behind.

He spun around surprised to see Raven standing behind him teacup in hand.

"Oh, hey Rae...you want some tofu?"

She held up her cup.

"Tea." Then took a sip.

His face fell. "Oh, ok."

She noticed this and something inside her twinged.

"I guess tofu would be...nice."

He shot her a genuine smile and ran into the kitchen.

I'm sure I'm going to regret this...

Starfire stopped in the doorway to the training room. Just as Raven had predicted she could her Robin's grunt from inside. Meaning one thing. He was training. She brightened. Perhaps he could use some help. She walked in.

She had been right. There he was smacking at a punching bag that hung from the ceiling.

"Hello Robin!"

Startled by her voice he turned to face her. It's an unfortunate thing he did because the punching bag chose that moment to swing back and hit him full force in the stomach.

"Oof!" He was sent flying backwards.

"Robin!" She flew over to him. "Are you uninjured?"

He stood up slowly. "Star!" He sounded a little mad. "You messed me up!"

She was taken aback by his tone of voice and had to blink back tears. "Many apologies I simply wished to know if you needed some one to train with."

"No thanks. I'm fine by myself." His words came out harsher then he had intended.

"Oh...every well then...I shall venture else where if you are not in need of help..."

He realized his tone might have hurt her feelings and his face softened. "Sorry Star...you just caught me off guard is all."

She nodded her head still lowered. "Well then I shall see you later Robin." She walked out of the room leaving Robin to stare after her.

She walked onto the roof and sat down to view the lake. Robin had been so distant with her lately and she couldn't figure out why. Slade hadn't shown up for weeks...it was almost like he was taking a mini vacation...

A vacation...perhaps I could use one as well...

Robin watched as Starfire walked out of the training room. Half of him told him to call out, to tell her to stop and that he was sorry. He was just a nervous wreck. And why?

Cuz I'm in love with my best friend.

That's right he had fallen head over heels in love with the pretty Tamaran alien. Before he had gone to lead the titans Batman and told him to never get attached. Not that he needed telling. Everything he had ever loved had been taken away from him. When he had realized his feelings for Starfire it had scared him. He couldn't let her get taken from him. He couldn't live without her.

So he had pulled away. Closed himself off from her. It hadn't occurred to him how much that must have hurt her. She probably thought he didn't like her...which wasn't the case. But he was acting like he did whenever Slade showed up. Which hadn't been for a while. It was like Slade was taking a break...

A break...that might help me clear my head...

There's chapter 1! Let me know if you like it. I'm sorry it's so short but this was originally written for the R/S shrine and you can't write a lot in the little boxes.

R&R and tell me what you think!
