Author's Note: OKAY. So, I'm only posting all of my stories so that all my work is on here too however, this is one of those stories that could have been done better and it really could have. The plot is dodgy, the layout is messy and the characters are quite ooc but its there and its posted. Also, rated M again because strong suggestions later and general dialogue. Originally written in 2011.

He opened his eyes slowly and sat up, yawning. He tussled his ebony locks and stretched. He carefully peeled the duvet off of his body and got to his feet. He took a few steps over to the window and opened to curtains to let golden, warm sunshine leak through. He cracked half a smile and made his way into his bathroom and got in the shower. As the water trickled over his flesh, he sighed in contentment. After his shower, he wrapped a towel around himself and made his way back into his room and over to his wardrobe.

He opened the wardrobe doors and picked out a fresh, clean uniform. He slipped himself into it and placed his alluring mask over his eyes. He checked himself in the mirror and left, stroking Starfire's pet larvae, Silky on the way out.

He walked slowly down the corridor, smiling as he walked past her door. He continued to smile as thoughts of her filled his mind.

He eventually found himself in the ops room where the rest of the team filled the area. He looked around and saw Raven sitting on the ground, leaning against the kitchen counter, reading a book carefully. Then he noticed Cyborg and Beastboy competing against each other in a racing game which they had seemingly become addicted to. Robin was slightly curious where his best friend was since she was not currently in the ops room. He was going to ask Beastboy and Cyborg where she was but he knew that if he did that he would surely get teased for being curious. So, he wandered over to Raven and crouched down to be at her level.

"Hey Raven," He greeted,
"Morning Robin." She replied, eyes still glued to her book.
"So-"
"On the roof,"
"How did you-Um, thanks, heh."
Raven nodded and Robin swore he saw her smile in complete amusement. Robin stood up abruptly and walked out of the ops room. He walked through the corridors and hallways and up the stairs which led to the roof. He finally got there and opened the door as quietly as a mouse.

There she was.

Starfire, the alien princess who had moved into his life and heart just over 2 years ago. Her long auburn hair flowed delicately in the spring breeze and her skin was lit up by the golden sun. She sat cross legged and her palms were flat on the ground supporting her to just look up at the sky. Her face is what made Robin smile; her eyes were closed, her face was soft and she had a gentle smile across her lips.

He leaned against the door frame carefully, just watching her enjoy the sunny morning. After about two minutes, he decided to go and talk to the tameranian beauty. He stepped slowly and quietly closer to her, "Hey Star," His voice sounded like nails on a blackboard as it ruined the peaceful silence, but Starfire didn't seem to mind in the slightest.
"Oh! Good morning, friend Robin!" She beamed, opening her eyes and staring at him. He felt slightly weak as he stared at her bright green orbs which were so intriguing it made his heart skip a beat. Robin shared his lopsided grin with her and took placement beside her on the edge of the roof.
"So, how come you're out here?" Robin quizzed,
"Oh, Robin. You know me the most of our friends! You know as well as I do, I come up here to look at the sky and the sun. The clouds can be very mesmerizing. Can they not?" She bubbled
"Uh…sure?"
"You humans do not see a beautiful thing when you have it." She giggled.
"Hm…" Robin pondered this as he glanced at her, "I think some things we do…"
Starfire didn't seem to ponder on that sentence much; she simply smiled more as she looked to the sky. Robin had the pounding urge to kiss her then and there, but he knew he could never have her as his own. When he and Cyborg had talked openly about the whole, 'dating' thing, he gave his reasons.

..::FLASHBACK::..
Cyborg carefully finished buffing the door of his beloved car and passed the buffer to Robin, it just so happened, they were discussing Bumblebee.
"Oh come on, Cyborg. You guys would be a nice couple. You're both very…flirtatious." Robin blurted, grinning.
"It would be nice, but I don't know. I've never really thought about it too much, ya know? In case she doesn't like me back or something…" Cyborg sighed,
"It certainly seems like she does, you should go for it Cyborg."
"Oh and you're -everything-about-asking-a-girl-out, aren't you? Which begs the question…Why have you never asked Star out?"
"Starfire? I don't like her that wa-"
"You and me both know what you're about to say is a load of bullshit."
"Hm. Yeah…"
"Robin?"
"Well, I do like her. A lot. But I could never ask her to go out with me."
"Why not!?"
"Because, it's fine for you guys to have partners but as leader, I can't. Too many responsibilities, too many risks. If I dated Starfire, it goes against everything Batman ever taught me and also, I know for sure she would get used against me by a criminal."
"Oh. That sucks."
"Hm. Yeah it does…" Robin sighed; Cyborg glanced at him with a sad expression.
"This really does bug you, doesn't it?"
"Not being able to ask the most amazing girl on the planet to go out with me?"
"Yeah."
"It hurts to be quite honest. Ah…but what can you do, I guess?" Robin gave a weak smile and put the buffer back in place and headed in the direction of the gym.
Cyborg stood in the garage for sometime, feeling truly sorry for his friend. He could see the way they both exchanged glances, but Robin's reasons were his own and Cyborg decided to leave Robin alone on the whole 'Starfire' subject.

..::END FLASHBACK::..

Robin noticed Starfire's expression turn some what sad. He scooted closer to his best friend and poked her playfully.

"Hey. What's wrong?" He asked, caringly.
"Huh? Oh, nothing is wrong!" Starfire bluffed.
"Starfire…"
"Truly, I am being the silly."
"If something has made you sad, it isn't silly."
"Really Robin, you need not worry,"
"I do if you're upset about something. Tell me?"
"It is truly nothing; it's just…the other day I was walking around the park and a young group of teenage girls labeled me as…ugly…" She whispered, hugging her knees, "they then laughed and I was forced to leave the park by my emotions…"
"Star…" Robin hushed, "is that why you were quiet when you came home the other day?"
She nodded.

He draped a caring arm around Starfire and hugged her close. After hugging, he pushed himself away slightly and hooked his index finger under her chin to make her look at him.
"Starfire, don't ever listen to them. Most probably they were jealous of you," Robin said, coolly,
"Jealous? Why would human girls ever be jealous of me?" Starfire asked, confusion written across her innocent face.
"Why? Starfire, you are beautiful in every way and never let alone tell you otherwise,"
"…You…think I am…beautiful?" Starfire asked, pink attacking her cheeks.
"…Uh…Yes…very…" Robin replied, his face becoming hot and pink.

Neither of them knew it, but slowly, their faces were inching closer. They had little space to close for them to kiss and they slowly were reaching each other's goals. They were about 2cm away from each other's lips when suddenly, they heard the rooftop door open wide and they abruptly scrambled away from each other.

"Yo guys you up- Oh, hey Robin, we need you down stairs." Beastboy informed him, completely unaware of what they had been so close to doing moments ago.
"Um…Oh. Right, sure. Why? What's wrong?" Robin asked,
"You got a video call thingy from the batman!" Beastboy squeaked the last part very high pitched, like a fan girl.

"Beastboy, please, you are a fan of the batman?" Starfire asked, smirking.
"DUH! He's only the greatest super hero ever!" Beastboy pointed out, getting closer to Starfire.

Starfire giggled at his enthusiasm and hugged him close, "Oh Beastboy, you do make me laugh." She beamed.
"I'm glad I make somebody laugh," Beastboy chuckled, looking up at Starfire's face. She stared back and they became locked in a gaze of sorts, which Robin found uncomfortable.

"Oh, okay, thanks Beastboy." Robin commented, making for the stairs, "aren't you guys coming?"
"We shall join you shortly. Please Beastboy, tell me more of what you know about the batman?" Starfire asked, kindly.
"Hasn't Robin ever said anything about him?" Beastboy asked, not knowing Robin had left the door open slightly so he could hear them.
"Truly…I have never asked him," Starfire confessed,
"How come?"
"Honestly? I am a little bit frightened of what his reaction would be…"
"Why would you be scared of his reaction?"
"Well, I understand they have not ever really gotten along too well so I am worried he would yell or tell me to go away which I do not think I would find pleasing, do you?"
"Hm, guess you have a point."

Robin closed the door but the last thing he saw was Beast boy's hand on Starfire's knee and Beastboy saying, "Okay then Star, I shall share my super hero wisdom with you!" He said it in a failed wizard accent. Starfire giggled at his impression so much she held her stomach.

Robin heard no more as he closed the door and sulked about what he had heard. He also wanted to slap Beastboy for touching her leg but he shook the thought away as he remembered that Starfire was not his to obsess over.

He got down to the ops room and Cyborg and Raven left as they both figured they would like privacy to talk about matters.

Robin sighed as he slumped into the chair and pressed the accept button on the computer…
