It had been exactly a year when the young couple started dating. They were always embracing each other with open arms, but for some reason Starfire was always looking for something more.. An she realized that Robin wasn't going to be the one to give her all the satisfaction that she was looking for. She was sitting on the edge of the tower on that starry night; the stars were twinkling brightly over head while the fire flies filled the air. Her legs dangled over the edge as the cool summer wind blew her hair past Star's face. She brushed it back with her fingers and closed her eyes and sighed. She hadn't felt a connection for quite a while and she couldn't find a way to break it to him so it wouldn't hurt him much.. Either way he would be devastated and his heart would break, she knew it deep down inside.
Starfire heard the door creak as it opened as Robin walked up behind her his hands crossed as the breeze blew his cape to the right side of his body. His eyes dropped down to her back as he kicked a pebble to the side watching it fall off the edge of the tower. "Star, what are you doing out here all alone this late? You need to get some rest, we have a long day tomorrow." Starfire turned around to face and floated up to her feet landing in front of him. She grabbed her right elbow with her left hand and looked toward the ground for a minute, then looked back at him. Robin knew that something wasn't right by the way she was acting. He placed his hands on her waist, but she just pushed back to where he couldn't touch her. He moved closer to her, concern and worry swarming around in his thoughts. Starfire placed her hands in his for a moment and stared into his eyes again as she took a breath and sighed looking to the waves, listening to the clash the waves made against the rocky shore.
"Robin, I think that maybe.. We should take a break." Starfire continued to watched the waves clash against the shore listening to the silence of the night. "Star, what do you mean? Do you mean from fighting crime, because we've been over this you know that fighting crime is a full time job-" Starfire cut him off putting her fingers on his lips. "No Robin, not from crime fighting.. From us. I don't feel any fireworks anymore, no excitement. I feel like we should take a break because there is so much going on.." She stared at him "You know what I mean? You are always locked up in your lab looking over evidence, trying to find a way to make sure Slade doesn't come back, and the rest of us.. We are stuck in the living room worrying about you." There was nothing Robin could say to take the pain away that was taking over his emotions, it cut him like a razor blade as he watched Starfire fly away into the city, tears stinging her face and flying back into the clear sky. Robin hit his knees, he had never felt this pain emotionally and he never seen this curve ball flying toward him.
Tears were filling Robin's eyes and he couldn't control his emotions any longer. He felt a warm gentle touch on his shoulder turning to see that it was no one more but his best friend Raven, "Not here Robin, if Beast Boy or Cyborg seen you out here in this condition you'd never live it down." Robin nodded and got up off his knees and turned around walking down the stairwell with her to his room, in which they were concealed alone able to talk openly. Raven sat down on his bed cross-legged looking at him with his hands over his eyes. Raven could tell that he was a complete and total wreck inside, but she wondered what she could do to help. "I honestly dunno what to do anymore, Rae." Robin confessed as he fell back on his bed making it a bounce a bit.
Raven placed her hand on his leg and rubbed it softly and sighed. "Robin, she isn't worth your tears.. If she'd loved you like she said she did all those times before you wouldn't be going through this pain and suffering at the moment." Robin put his hands behind his head and sighed staring at the ceiling through masked eyes. "I guess you are right Raven, but what have I done wrong to make her leave me?" he took off his mask and lifted up asking her. Raven laid her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes, "Robin, I honestly don't know why she left you like this. Maybe she likes someone else or maybe she just never really truly had feelings for you like you had for her." Robin closed his eyes and nodded pulling Raven into an embrace as her eyes widened. "Rae, thank you for trying to help me out... I feel so lost at the moment, and it helps having you here to confide in." Ravens heart was pounding out of her chest, she honestly didn't know what to do so she gripped onto his back and laid her head on his shoulder.
They laid like this on Robin's bed for a couple of hours just embracing each other and enjoying the company of one another. Raven liked the way it felt being in Robin's strong arms, and the gentle caress of his fingers on her back. Robin on the other hand, liked having a person there to talk to, and someone to snuggle with. He had never enjoyed it with Starfire because she never understood what snuggling meant on Earth. He liked the way Raven's head rested on his chest and he liked the way Raven would giggle when his hands brushed against her stomach. Raven loved listening to his heart beat and his gentle breaths. They fell asleep in each others arms while Raven wondered that maybe this could be a ending to a new beginning.
