A/N: Hey there! :) If you're reading this, thanks for reading my story! It's been a while since I've written anything fan fiction wise, and I've been hooked on BB/Star lately. I've decided to start writing stories for this pairing. There aren't enough of them! I don't own Teen Titans, or any of the characters. There, I've said it :) Hope y'all enjoy! Please leave me a review and let me know what you think, whether you love it or just down right hate it. Also, I want to apolojize for the short first chapter. The rest of the chapters will be longer. Promise.

Chapter One; New Feelings

Starfire let out a heavy sigh as she shut her bedroom door behind her and twisted the small lock on the handle so no one would burst in. She floated across the room and threw herself down on the purple sheets of her matress, staring up at the ceiling. She hadn't been this bummed out in a very long time, and what she was bummed about wasn't even something bad. Well, it wasn't entirely bad anyway. Her eighteenth birthday was approaching, and only she really knew what that meant. The others seemed to be very excited, tossing plans for a party her way every time they were together. Starfire didn't mind having a party; in fact, she greatly appreciated the thought. That wasn't her problem, though. Being eighteen on Tamaran meant having to find a mate. Once the sun set on the eve of her birthday, her body was going to kick into hormonal overdrive. She bit her bottom lip just thinking about it.

She and Robin had broken up about three months ago, although they still remained good friends. They weren't right for each other, and it had taken them two years to realize that. The break up had naturally been painful at first, but she had gotten used to that constant emptiness inside her heart she carried with her now. It didn't hurt nearly as bad nowadays. She was actually glad they weren't seeing each other anymore since her birthday was approaching. She had loved Robin, but she couldn't quite picture herself crawling in bed with him...

Who was going to be her mate, though? Having a mate would very soon be a necessity.

Her cell phone dinged, signaling she'd received a text message. She picked up the small black device and eyed it for a moment. Beast Boy had talked her into getting the strange device, yet she still wasn't sure how she felt about it. She lost it often and, for the most part, it usually stayed dead. She flipped it open and was greeted with '1 new message' flashing across the screen. She clicked 'open' and saw it was from Beast Boy himself.

'Me and Cy are about to watch some old school Nightmare on Elm Street. Come join us?'

Starfire wasn't sure what to do. She had gone to her room to be alone, but being alone gave her too much time to think. Her thumbs hovered over the keyboard for a few minutes before she typed in her response.

'I shall be there in a moment.'

She sat up and brushed her fingers through her long red locks before getting to her feet. Hopefully she wasn't too much of a downer. She opened the door and slowly made her way down the hallway. The closer she got to the den, the stronger the buttery smell of the popcorn was. Her stomach growled. She hadn't even realized she was hungry. As soon as she floated through the doorway Beast Boy and Cyborg greeted her, both wearing excited grins.

"Hey, Star!" Beast Boy chimed.

"You ready for some Elm Street?" Cyborg inquired.

Starfire couldn't help but smile back. Her spirits began to rise, and she was instantly thankful she hadn't decided to stay in her room.

"I am ready, friends." she replied, taking a seat at the end of the sofa. Beast Boy handed her her own giant bowl of popcorn and she nearly squealed. She loved popcorn so much!

"Where are Robin and Raven?" she couldn't help but ask.

Cyborg and Beast Boy looked at each other for a moment before looking back to her. They both seemed to be feeling uneasy.

"They... Um..."

"They're busy with training." Cyborg finished.

"Training? At this time of night?"

"Y-Yeah..."

"Friends, please tell me the truth."

Beast Boy sat down next to Starfire, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"Star, Robin and Raven are on a date."

The Tamaranian blinked. Her feelings were all jumbled up, and she felt a bit sick. So this is what jealousy felt like...

"I see..."

"Are you okay?'

"I will be fine."

Cyborg hurried over and grabbed the remote, pressing play. He then turned all the lights off and took his place at the other end of the couch.

"Let's watch the movie. No need to be thinking about anything else right now." he said in hopes of making Starfire feel at least a little bit better.

She solemnly nodded and sank back into the soft cushion behind her, picking at her popcorn. She wasn't all that hungry anymore. Beast Boy continued to look over at her, his brows knit together with concern. He leaned over, his lips mere inches away from her ear, and whispered, "Are you sure you're alright?"

Starfire suddenly felt something stir inside her, shivering slightly. His breath on her ear had felt... She wasn't entirely sure how to describe the feeling, actually. It was a strange sort of sensation, like a small electric shock working its way throughout her every fiber. Oh, goodness, her hormones must have been getting an early start.

"Yes." she simply answered. It was all she could muster.

"If you ever need to talk, I'm here."

This feeling was maddening. She shifted in her seat, wishing she could scoot further down the couch, but at the same time not wanting to move.

"Thank you."

The shapeshifter distanced himself from her and she let out a shaky breath. She glanced over at him, looking over his face and body. Why hadn't she ever noticed how attractive he was before? She noted how much he'd changed over the past couple of years. He had grown and was no longer the shortest member of the team. He now stood at about 5'10- two inches taller than Star herself. He had also toned up a bit, too. As she studied his features, the jealousy she had felt was forgotten. She didn't seem to care as much as she had about her ex and her friend. If they wanted to date, so be it. It wasn't any of her business anymore. She should be happy for them.

She forced herself to look away from the boy next to her and focused on the screen. What was going on? She hadn't payed attention to any of the movie so far, obviously. At the moment, some girl was freaking out about someone apparently attacking her in her dream. Starfire began to get into the film after she had sort of caught up to the events that were unfolding. Before she knew it, the credits appeared on the wide screen and she felt a bit disappointed. She wanted to see more!

"Is there a second part to this film?" she asked, looking over at the boys.

"Yeah. There's a whole series of them." Cyborg replied, turning on the lights.

"I wish to see more!" she exclaimed, excitedly.

"I don't know if I could sit through another movie tonight. I'm pretty tired."

"I'm not tired. I can watch another one with you." Beast Boy offered.

Starfire squealed, nodding vigorously.

"Yes! Let's!"

Beast Boy smiled at her, happy she had cheered up. Cyborg searched the movie shelf until he found the sequel and popped it in before turning to leave.

"You kids have fun." he said, turning off the lights again as he exited the room.

"Oh,I am so excited to view this sequel!"

"It's a good movie. Classic,"

She looked over at him again, her heart racing at the thought of them being alone in the dark together. She shook her head. Nothing was going to happen. Why was she getting so worked up?

"What do you want for your birthday?"

She was caught off guard by his question, torn from her unclean thoughts. Oh, if Beast Boy knew how she was thinking about him he would be so weirded out... She couldn't let her hormones just take control like this. She needed to stay calm and composed.

"I do not know." she answered truthfully. She hadn't given the matter much thought. On Tamaran, gift giving was not customary on one's day of birth. They were only given on Tamaran's equivalent day to Christmas.

"I want to get you something special. Something you haven't gotten before." he said, "I know you aren't really used to getting gifts, even though you've been on Earth for a while, but I want to get you something cool this year."

She squirmed, his words sounding too suggestive to her in her state of mind.

"You do not have to worry about a gift, friend. I do appreciate the thought, but I do not know what I could possibly ask for."

"Give it some thought, okay? Let me know when you decide."

She nodded, finding herself wanting to be closer to him, even though he was only a couple of inches away from her.

"Beast Boy...May I rest my head on you?"

The boy let out a small laugh, which sounded forced.

"Sure, Star." His voice was shaky.

She leaned over and lay her head upon his shoulder, getting comfortable. They sat that way throughout the entire movie; Starfire resisting the urge to give into her desires. If she was feeling this way now, she could only imagine how bad it would be on the eve of her birthday. She took in the scent of Beast Boy's cologne and shut her eyes. He smelled amazing.

She hadn't enjoyed the sequel as much as she had hoped. It couldn't quite compare to the first one, or perhaps she was too tired and too, well, worked up. She sat up and looked over at the clock. It was four o' clock in the morning! She hadn't meant to stay up so late, yet here she was. Come to think of it, it was four o' clock and Robin and Raven were still out and about... She wasn't going to think about it. She refused. She stood up and stretched. Beast Boy did the same, then rubbed at his eyes.

"I'm dead, dude."

"You seem very much alive to me." Starfire teased, knowing all too well what he meant. He used the phrase quite often.

He laughed and ruffled her hair, something else he did quite often. Starfire reached up and held his hand in place, his fingers tangled in her long hair. His touch sent another shocking sensation through her. He began to look at her a bit oddly and she forced herself to remove her hand and back away from him.

"What was-?" he began, but Starfire interrupted.

"Goodnight, friend. Sleep peacefully. I shall see you in the morrow." she quickly said before she flew out of the room and down the hall. Her head was swimming. She needed to go to sleep. As soon as she was back in the safety of her room, she changed into a pair of light blue pajamas and got into her bed, wishing for her head to clear, which it didn't.

Only two days until the day...How was she going to get through this?

She shut her eyes, wishing for sleep to come, but all she could think about was Beast Boy's body pressed up against hers.

This was going to be a LONG night...
