A/N – Hello, my friends. I am going to do an actual factual CONNECTED STORY WITH CHAPTERS. I'm so excited. I think I'll finish it all the way too. Anyway, as you read in the summary, this story is based off of William Shakespeare's play "Much Ado About Nothing", which is my absolute favorite. Anywho, I tried to keep everyone as normal as usual, but there may be a few…er…weird character traits. Trust me, it was the only way I could get the story to fit! Please leave me a review with any thoughts or comments :) Thanks, babes! Enjoy!

…

It took almost exactly three years of begging and pleading to get Robin to finally propose to Starfire. And not all of it was from the alien in question – everyone seemed adamant on getting the two hitched. Robin found the rushing unnecessary; he and Starfire had only been dating for eight years! Shouldn't they be together for at least ten before settling with each other forever? But in reality, this was mostly Robin's Rational Mind. The Boy Wonder was smitten with the princess, and would have willingly married her even earlier than at the age of twenty-five. But Batman's protege could really only listen to his Rational Mind, which the team had accepted long ago.

Starfire, who had originally been set to marry Glgrdsklechhh at the age of seventeen, thought that Robin was never going to ask her to marry him. On Tamaran, people were wed early and quickly, as most didn't live very long. It was tradition to give away a royal-born girl as soon as she went through her Transformation, which generally happened at sixteen. So when Robin finally asked her, she was beyond ecstatic, loudly proclaiming that she "was not going to die the 'elderly maiden'".

A date was set for a Monday in June. The Titans attempted to keep the wedding low-key, mostly as per Robin's request. But Starfire, who was too happy to see the issue, proudly confirmed every rumor. Jump City was in chaos. The media went crazy. Robin eventually consented to a small press conference, hoping to satiate the paparazzi. This "small press conference" turned into a wild media frenzy, with practically every reporter on the West Coast showing up. Starfire happily answered every question she could, while Robin pouted quietly to himself next to her.

For the wedding, Robin and Starfire invited close friends, which consisted basically all of the honorary Titans and a few members of the JLA. Bridesmaids and groomsmen were invited to come a few days before to celebrate. And so on the Saturday before the wedding, the Tower filled with the hollers of greeting and cries of joy. When the Titans East showed up, every member of the original Titans clambered downstairs to greet them. Jinx, Kid Flash, Jericho, and Kole remained upstairs, unpacking.

Bumblebee burst through the front door, setting off several alarms in the process. Only slightly perturbed (and expecting it to happen), Cyborg switched them off almost immediately. "Hellooooo, Titans West!" she cried, latching on to the nearest person – which happened to be Robin. She lifted the smaller man slightly off of the ground. "I'm so proud of you, bird boy!"

Speedy and Aqualad followed, carrying bags. Speedy was obviously in an awful mood. He didn't look at anyone, instead setting everything in the corner and leaning against a wall. Aqualad was as friendly as usual, and greeted everyone in turn. He spent an extra moment on Raven, flashing her the bright white smile that had won thousands of hearts. Raven blushed.

Beast Boy, who was standing next to the sorceress, rolled his eyes. "Ugh. C'mon, Raven. It's already bad enough having almost-newlyweds in the Tower. Are you gonna be all gushy with fish-boy?"

Raven narrowed her eyes. "Beast Boy, this isn't about you. It's about Starfire and Robin. No one cares how you feel."

The changeling flattened his ears, pouting his protruding fang. "I care," he mumbled. Raven ignored him, much to the green man's annoyance. "You know what? I'm never gonna settle on some chick. This wedding stuff is so awful. I'd rather be a bachelor for life!"

Raven huffed a laugh. "Good. Everyone should rejoice."

Before the younger man could argue, Mas e Menos came running in. Immediately, they surrounded Starfire, one man on each shoulder.

"¿Cómo estás, hermosa?" Mas asked, wiggling his eyebrows.

"¿Todavía casando con Robin?" Menos added, smiling a braces-straightened smile.

Starfire giggled. "Sí, muchachos." Both young men let out identical groans before grabbing hands and zipping to Speedy, who was still slouching in the corner. They managed to get the archer onto their shoulders, much to everyone's delight – except Speedy's. The man in question only deepened his frown. Each twin picked up an armful of bags and turned to Cyborg expectantly.

"I guess you're showin' us to our rooms now," Bumblebee laughed, shaking her head. Cyborg smiled.

"Sure thing!" He motioned to the elevator. "Star, Rae, wanna help? It'll be faster." The two women glanced at each other before following. The posse crowded into the elevator, leaving Robin and Beast Boy standing alone in the lobby.

As soon as the door closed, Robin let out a breath. Beast Boy cocked an eyebrow. "You alright, Rob?"

"Yeah," the leader said, nodding. "It's just been…stressful."

Beast Boy nodded sagely. "Dude, I bet. But Star must be happy."

"Of course she is," Robin conceded. He rubbed the back of his neck, as if embarrassed. "I'm just…kinda nervous."

A loud guffaw burst from Beast Boy's mouth. Robin shot him an ungrateful look. "Sorry, dude," the green man snickered. "I've just never seen you like this before! Like, is nervous even in your realm of emotions?"

"Apparently," Robin mumbled. His blush colored the pale skin around his mask.

"What are you nervous about anyway?"

Robin clenched his jaw, like he usually did when thinking over a particularly hard question. "Everything," he said at last. "What if we're rushing into this? What if we can't have kids? Would we even want kids? Galfore can't live forever – who'll rule Tameran? What if she changes her mind? What if one of us dies? What if –"

"Whoahhhhhh." Beast Boy held up both hands in front of him, as if warding off Robin's sudden spout of worries. "Dude! You're thinking too far ahead! Just relax!"

Robin laughed; a short, bitter ha that echoed somewhat. "Relax? Beast Boy, I'm terrible at relaxing. Do you know how long I've been thinking about this?"

The younger man looked wary. "Waaaaay too long, bro," he said. Across the room, the elevator doors slid open, revealing Cyborg and Bumblebee. Both were laughing about something unknown.

"Imma go grab something out of our T-ship," Bumblebee said. The other leader waved to the boys as she headed in the direction of the garage. "I'll be back!" A second passed, and she darted back around the corner, light brown eyes narrowed. "And don't you dare lock me outside again, green bean." Beast Boy stuck his tongue out at her, which Bumblebee gladly returned. A flash of yellow, and she was gone.

"Whatsup?" Cyborg asked, taking in Robin's stressed expression. The Boy Wonder opened his mouth to say something when Beast Boy interrupted.

"Rob's way nervous, dude," he said. "About a lot."

Cy frowned. "Man, Rob, that's not good. What're ya nervous about?"

Robin sighed. "I think Beast Boy hit the nail on the head with "a lot"."

The half-robot's brow crinkled. "About wedding stuff?" Still profusely blushing, Robin nodded. Cy smiled slightly, putting his large hand on the smaller man's shoulder. "Man, of course you are. That's perfectly normal. Whatever Beast Boy said, don't listen. He can't snag a girl to save his life."

"Hey!"

The corner of Robin's mouth twitched upwards. "I feel kind of bad. I've been avoiding Star the past few days. She probably thinks I'm getting cold feet."

Cyborg chuckled. "Listen, Rob. I got a plan. You know how we were gonna do bachelor and bachelorette parties?"

"Hell yeah!" Beast Boy yelled. Cyborg shot him a glare before turning back to Robin.

"Anyway, Bee and I came up with a plan. Why not just have a combination celebration party? I already know that there's a snowball's chance in hell we'll be able to get you to a strip club –"

Beast Boy groaned loudly.

"- and Bee said Star wants to "include the males in party shenanigans"," Cy finished, ignoring the green man next to them. "Are you really worried that Star'll balk?"

Robin scratched the back of his neck again. "A little."

"Listen." Cyborg pulled away from Robin, crossing his arms over his chest. "I'll warm her up for you at the party. Talk you up. Compliment her. She'll be all kinds of ready when I'm done with her."

"Dude, that's kinda weird," Beast Boy mumbled, rubbing his earlobe between two gloved fingers. "I mean, she's Robin's fiancée."

"It's only weird if you make it weird, BB," Cyborg shot back, smirking. He turned back to Robin. "You comfortable with that, Rob?"

Robin thought for a moment, his mouth drawing into a flat line. "I…would be really appreciative, Cyborg," he said at last. Beast Boy looked at Robin like he'd grown wings.

"You're okay with Cy flirting with Star for you?" he asked, dumbfounded. Cyborg rolled his human eye.

"You're making a big deal out of it, BB," he said lightly. "Robin trusts me. Right, Rob?" He turned to the leader, smiling. Somewhat uncomfortably, Robin smiled back.

"Yeah, I do."

Beast Boy crossed his arms. "Well, I'm glad you didn't pick me. I'm so good at flirting, Star'll fall for me right then and there."

Cyborg's bellowing laugh rang through the room. "Yeah, Beasty," he cried, good-naturedly slapping his teammate on the back. "Because the ladies are just crawling over you!" Robin began to snicker as well, and Beast Boy struggled to keep a nonchalant face.

"Who said I wanted them to?" he shot back. Robin raised an eyebrow.

"You want men, Beast Boy?" he chuckled. Beast Boy turned a beet red color.

"What? No! I just –" He gave up as he saw that both of his teammates were laughing too hard to listen. He crossed his arms and sniffed. "You know what? I'm gonna go get ready." He spun on his heel and stalked to the elevator.

"Good idea, green bean," Cyborg called, following with his leader. "You'll wanna look good for Aqualad."

The three men's laughter echoed in the room, still reverberating slightly when the elevator doors closed.

A/N – Hope y'all liked it! Just a note – I don't speak a lick of Spanish, so Mas e Menos might have some grammatical/spelling errors. I apologize profusely for my butchering of a beautiful language; Google Translate never really comes out right.
