Christmas Traditions
by TTnHPlover
"Starfire, could you help me get that sting of lights up here?" Robin yelled from atop the ladder. Starfire flew to him covered in tinsel with a wound up string of lights in her hands.
"I still do not understand Robin. Why must we kill this most beautiful tree and then decorate it with frilly things, glass orbs and shinny paper strips? Asked Starfire, confused once again by Earth's customs.
Robin laughed and started wrapping the lights around the tree.
"Well Star, it's a tradition, I don't know why we decorate tree's, but it's not Christmas without the tree." Robin attempted to explain.
"Oh, tell me more of these Christmas traditions Robin!" Starfire requested excitedly, attempting to get the tinsel out of her long red hair. Robin carefully decended the ladder, with Starfire floating next to him. He started talking as the two Titans walked and flew up to the attic for more Christmas decorations.
"Well Starfire, there are a lot of traditions for different people. Like Beastboy eats his annual fifteen pounds of tofu on Christmas Eve, I think he and Terra are doing that right now actually." Robin pulled a face and went on. "Cyborg programs his speaker to play non-stop Christmas tunes for a whole week as I'm sure you noticed. Then there's Raven, who… well… I don't think she cares for Christmas much, to much joy, but she smiles a little at least. And she passes out he gifts on Christmas morning."
"And what do you do Robin? You have specified everyone but yourself." said Starfire suspiciously.
"I decorate the tree and most of Titan's Tower. I also make sure nobody kills each other, or gets sick." Robin said with a laugh, referring to Raven killing Beastboy, Beastboy or Raven killing Cyborg's speaker, and Beastboy getting sick from his 15 pounds of tofu.
By this time they had retrieved the boxes from the attic and Robin was decorating the tree with candy canes. Starfire had opened the box of mistletoe.
"Robin, what is this?" She asked curiously
"Oh, that's mistletoe, it's another Christmas tradition. You hang it on the ceiling and when two people are under it together they have to… er… kiss." said Robin with a gulp. He looked back to the tree and kept putting the candy on it.
Starfire grabbed the box and flew to the ceiling and covered every square inch in the green plant. She tapped Robin on the shoulder and he turned around and she batted her eyelashes and pointed up. Robin's eyes got really big and he slwly looked up. He gulped.
He then calmed down a little and pulled a smiling, blushing Starfire into a passionate kiss. They broke apart when they heard the laughter of the four other Titans. They both felt like disappearing off the face of the planet, and Robin muttered something along the lines of 'Terra and Beastboy shouldn't be laughing.'
The 6 teens walked into the living room and Terra kissed Beastboy under the mistletoe, who melted into the couch and talked about the next day, with Cyborg's speaker playing "Underneath the Mistletoe."
