Starfire x Twist
Chapter 1
I awoke to the stroke of a cold light hand petting my short hair. The heat between us was unusual and unnatural, she must have been laying there for a while. I kept my breathing steady and my eyes closed. I was starting to get used to her morning visits.
This was the third time I found her in my sky blue room this week. It was always the same, she would creep through door, fly in, softly land on the bed, and play with my hair. The sweet Tamaranean girl always left before 7 am because that's when she knew I woke up to do my training. I loved the feeling of her hands pulling at my messy curls and her soft sighs as she ran her fingers about my ears back into my hair. How did I long to wake up and return her soft touches and brushes. I was afraid though, too afraid she was just curious. I mean, she was in love with Robin right? How could she even like me? Yeah…she simply had to be curious.
The alarm clock buzzed violently on the night stand, falling to the floor. I groggily slumped to the edge of the bed to go turn it off when I realized there was something on my back! Heavy warm and thick with sleep, I turned to find Starfire laying there fast asleep. I carefully turned over again to turn the alarm off and went back to her side. Thank god Tamaraneans were heavy sleepers!
Her hair was all around her laying in small knots and waves framing her maturing face. I couldn't do anything but stare in awe of her awesome beauty. From her stunning red hair to her cute nose, I took in every detail wondering if this would be the last time she would come and visit me. As I stared at her glowing face, I lost track of time and a bit of panic set in. What if the other Titans found out? What if they saw Star coming from her room? What if Robin came in to ask her why she was late for her morning training session with him?
Just at that moment, Starfire stirred back to life. I froze, I didn't know what to do, I couldn't do anything. Standing in the face of fear was an everyday occurrence, but when it came to her face of beauty I couldn't handle it. I blinked as she began to figure out her surroundings.
"Friend Twist!" she exclaimed a bit despite her 'I-just-woke-up' voice."I, umm, was simply looking for Silkie," she paused, "Yes! He ran out of my room last night, I thought he may have found a home under your bed." She was still making excuses as she bolted up.
I stared at her blankly in disbelief, she was thinking of excuses to be here. She was thinking of excuses to be here."Ummm, it's okay Starfire. I'm sure he's around somewhere."
"Yes! I am sorry for I must have fallen asleep while looking for him." She said with such guilty innocence.
"Honestly Starfire, it's okay. I hope you find him." I lied with her. I needed her to leave as much as I wanted her to stay. Her hair was all over her head in three red masses.
She flung her long legs off my bed and walked with her head down. "I am sorry friend Twist for disturbing you," she said at last leaving the room.
I was still mesmerized in her soft green eyes that always held the twinkle of the stars. I slowly inched my body on top of the bed where Star was not 3 minutes ago. I took a breath in and felt the smell of sugar, honey, and men's cologne go into my body. Holding my breath I thought, "So this is you Star…" She was more than simply in my lungs now, she was in my mouth and in my eyes. She was in my stomach giving me butterflies and in my mind making me numb. I felt euphoria leave as quickly as it had come when I heard a loud knock at the door.
"Twist! Hey, Twist! You in there? Are you okay?"
Unpreparedness hit my tongue like a whip smacking it hard.
"Twist?"
"Ummm, yeah…yeah….Hold on! I'm okay" I stammered.
"Then hurry up, we have lots of training to do today." His voice smooth even through the door. It was a voice that demanded attention and respect. "I'm taking you to Gotham."
"Gotham…City?"
"Where else?" Robin teased opening the door to my room.
Sitting in my bed, all I could do was look at him. This was not my morning.
"How could you forget!" He pressed as he read my blank expression.
I shrugged and nodded in reply.
"Get ready then, we have to leave at 8. I have Cyborg in charge for the day and I hate to leave the team for longer than necessary." He said calming his voice down as he looked at my pitiful state.
"Okay," I replied softly as he turned and left. With drunken body movements I made my way out of bed and began to get ready.
