A/N- First off, I just want to say that I cannot, for the life of me, find out when Robin's actual birthday was (I get dates in both March and November). For the sake of the story, assumes it is November. This story is going to be… dark. I won't give away too much, but a trigger warning for violence and non-consensual sex in later chapters. If that's not what you're here for, then I suggest you go ahead and click that back button. Otherwise, I hope you like this story.
"Happy birthday, Rob!" Cyborg exclaimed out in excitement.
The scene was fantastic- colorful streams of confetti decorated the floor, wrapping paper was scattered and thrown everywhere, and various half eaten plates of food covered the kitchen table. Robin, Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy and Cyborg were sitting cross legged in a circle on the living room floor. They were watching Robin open all their gifts until only one remained. Cyborg had insisted that he opened it last.
"Be careful when you open that." Cyborg smirked.
"Wait, is it alive?" Robin asked while holding the present away from his body.
Cyborg shook his head side to side but continued to smirk.
"Dude just open it!" Beast Boy called out in frustration.
Robin eyed his friends, but nobody seemed to know what it was except for Cyborg. He pulled the bow that was tied to the top slowly out and ripped the paper downwards. The top of it was wrapped in a red colored paper. The dark colored liquid inside sloshed around, making a loud noise that Robin was unfamiliar too.
"Oh, Cy... you got me a bottle of whiskey?" Robin was confused and tilted his head a little.
"Well us to be exact." Cyborg pointed out. "It is your birthday, right? Let's do some shots!"
Robin opened his mouth to protest until he saw the look of eagerness in his team's faces. They were not at all taken aback by the offer of underage drinking… interesting.
"I am most excited to do the shots!" Starfire jumped up and down.
"Eh, it'll probably help me fall asleep." Raven shrugged.
"But Beast Boy is only-" Robin looked over at his young green friend who was now a puppy. He rolled his eyes and nodded yes.
"Alright, that's what I'm talking about!" Cyborg jumped up off the floor. "I call first shot!"
The rest of the team followed into the kitchen while Beast Boy and Cyborg rooted around to find something to substitute a shot glass. They encountered no luck and decided to use the red solo cups they already used earlier. Raven hovered over to the two and helped line up the cups while Robin threw an arm around Starfire. She looked over at her lover to begin a conversation but was instead met with his eager lips.
"Robin and Starfire, sitting in a tree. K-I-S-" Beast Boy was cut off in the middle of his sentence by Raven's dark duct tape.
"We've been together three months, Beast Boy. Get over it." Robin replied with a hint of annoyance.
Beast Boy ripped off the black cloak and giggled childishly. Cyborg pushed his shot away from him and gave him the stink eye.
"Dude, come on! I was just playing around!" Beast Boy protested while trying to reach for the cup. Cyborg fended him off with only his left hand for a whole minute before letting him smack himself against the table.
"Can we drink now?" Raven asked with her head in her hands.
"On three. One-" Robin began before being cut off with a cup to his lips.
Robin and Raven smiled contently. Cyborg wasted no time in pouring himself another one. Starfire cleared her throat a few times. Beast Boy tried to play it off, but quickly made a run for the sink. The Titans all laughed while watching their youngest friend struggle to keep himself from vomiting. The shots kept coming and going until most of the bottle was gone.
"This whiskey is most on fire!" Starfire commented with a giggle.
"Star, the whiskey isn't really on fire, it just burns." Raven explained with one of her rare smiles.
Starfire looked puzzled but nodded her head as if she understood.
Robin and Cyborg chuckled as they watched the boy try yet again to keep down anything. Raven rolled her eyes and grabbed the bottle. Just short from chugging it, she downed a sizable gulp. Everyone in the kitchen was in shock.
"Way to go, Raven!" Cyborg attempted to high five his friend, only to completely miss and smack a cup onto the floor instead. "Uhh... that's probably enough for now."
The Titans agreed that he was right and made their way into the living room. Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Raven plopped themselves on the couch they all had come to love so much. Robin grabbed the remote and began searching for something to watch.
"Breaking News- An attempt to end one man's life was saved when one brave citizen who managed to calm a would-be jumper down from National Bank's rooftop observatory." A blonde woman with too much blush stated as footage from the bank played. "A handsome older man was leaving the store when he saw the boy-"
The tv channel was flipped by the team lead. The titans had decided to take the day off to celebrate Robin's birthday and he didn't want his friends to regret it.
"Dude I might be drunk but I saw that." Cyborg droned on. "That looked like a job for us. Thankfully that man that saved him was there when he was."
Robin sighed. "We could have-should have been there. The city doesn't take a day off, so why-why should we?"
"To celebrate your birth, Robin!" Starfire burped and giggled.
Robin smiled at his inebriated girlfriend. She was so understanding yet didn't understand a lot. Cyborg didn't respond to Robin's comment and was instead eyeing Best Boy laying his head on Raven. Robin clicked four more times until he found a raunchy movie for them to enjoy while he fell to the ground. Starfire stayed in the kitchen and made an effort to clean up despite her world spinning. She eventually came to the conclusion that she needed to sit down. Her friends on the couch were all spread out and comfortable and she did not wish to disturb them. Beast Boy was already sound asleep against Raven's arm, but she didn't seem to mind. Robin eyed her while motioning for her to lay beside him. Starfire returned the look of interest she was receiving and made her way to the floor. The movie played while they cuddled.
…
"Now why-why would he do that?!" Cyborg busted out laughing at the movie. "He should, like, know better than to do something that drastic!"
"Aw man…" Beast Boy rubbed his head. "I can't sleep with y-your loud mouth Cy!"
"Man, you can't say that!" Cyborg ignored Beast Boy and shouted at the tv.
Raven groaned in response. "I'm going to bed before I get a headache… goodnight."
"You'll still wake up with one." Cyborg called out to his friend while she made her way out of sight. "More room for me on the couch!"
Beast Boy cracked his neck and stood up before falling back where he was lying. A second then third and final attempt was made. He found some balance and headed towards his room.
Robin waited until he heard the loud snore of his friend above him. Of course, usually Cyborg plugged himself up to sleep at night, but the alcohol sure knocked him out. In fact, he was close to falling asleep himself.
"Hey Star?" Robin nudged the half-asleep alien next to him. "Star? You awake still?"
Starfire's bright green eyes stirred. Before asking what he wanted, her favorite pair of lips met with her own. Robin was forceful, but Starfire welcomed it and met back with the same amount of force. He bit her bottom lip; she did the same. Robin moaned quietly while caressing her red hair. She rolled gently on top while pausing for a moment to move her hair out of her face.
"You're beautiful Star... so beautiful." Robin tried to fixate his gaze on the girl in front of him but his vision was becoming blurry. "Hold on, I'll be right back and then I'll walk you to your room."
"O-Okay." Starfire stuttered and moved off the boy.
Robin stole another quick kiss and hopped off the floor. Judging by the way he fell back down, anyone would agree that he was lot drunker than he had thought. Starfire laughed and covered her mouth.
Robin blushed in embarrassment and made an effort to stand up again. Surprisingly, he stayed on two feet. He made his way up to his bedroom; a fantasy already playing in his mind. After swinging the door open, he reached for the first drawer of his nightstand. A box of unopened condoms almost sparkled when Robin found them. He picked up the box and took one out while examining it. Although he had never done anything like this before, he had watched plenty of videos for practice. He looked at himself in the mirror in the same way you'd look at yourself after applying brand new, expensive makeup or after a much needed haircut.
He decided to bring a single condom incase Starfire wasn't ready or didn't want to. Sprinting back down to the living room did nothing but disappoint Robin- Starfire was now on the couch snoring along with Cyborg. So much for taking her back to her room.
"Damn..." Robin muttered to himself.
He had to admit that his body was growing tired as well. Shoving the unused contraption into his back pocket, he decided that he wanted just a little more to drink. He grabbed the remote from the floor where it had fell and turned the TV off. Robin snuck over into the kitchen to pull out the bottle from the refrigerator with no luck finding it. He instead reached for the red solo cup that was sitting on top of the toaster and glanced inside of it. He made a disgusted face when he realized that it was one of the cups Beast Boy had. Shrugging his shoulders, he tilted the cup back and drank until his throat felt as if it were on fire. He wiped his mouth with the collar of his black shirt and sat down by the windows. It was the middle of the night and the stars were shining bright enough to illuminate the tower with light.
Robin walked back over to the living room to cover up his friends with the spare blankets they kept for nights where one of the Titans had fallen asleep on the couch. Robin was going to go back to his comfy bed, but he suddenly felt the need to lay on the floor near his friends. He grabbed a pillow and blanket and laid on the floor by himself. He went out like a light.
…
Meanwhile, while the Titans had fallen asleep following their drunken stupor, another soul had shown up on their little island. Although he hadn't seen most of the Titan's activities, he had seen the boy down a good amount of alcohol and proceed to pass out on the floor. The boy had not known it; maybe never would, he had made the man's objective much easier to capture. Not only had the team forgotten to set the alarm, they left the front door unlocked and the target was already unconscious. He had wondered where the powerful one was but decided that the coast was clear when he stood silently in the doorway of the living room without a disturbance. It was almost too easy.
His silent footsteps led him over to the unmoving boy. He stood out from the two above him considering their combined snoring actually annoyed the man. He slid the pillow away from the black-haired kid, tossed the blanket behind his head, and glanced around one last time just to make sure he was not being watched. The Titans had a few cameras located inside and out of the Tower, but the one in the living room never did quite work right. Even the man knew this. He picked up the boy and held him over his left shoulder. The boy grunted a bit, but otherwise made no noise or movement.
The man and the boy made their way outside of the Tower. The man stopped walking for a second and surveyed the tower. For a team of super heroes, the Tower had virtually no security. He repositioned the boy to his right shoulder as he moved toward an inconspicuous, navy blue fishing boat. The boy was laid down on the wet floor while the man pulled up the anchor he had thrown into the water to keep the boat in place. He checked in his bag to make sure the things he needed were still inside. When he was satisfied that everything needed was in his possession, the boat pulled away from land and made its way back to where it originated from.
