WHOO!

first songfic!

This takes place somewhere before Tokyo and after Date with Destiny.

I am not associated with Teen Titans or the musical artist in any way.

Song used is Aly & AJ's "Something more"

I love that song ^^

A white sphere floated on the shimmering water, the stars reflecting off of its mirror-like surface. Starfire sat on her knees among the rocks, watching the reflections in the water and occasionally glancing up into the sky.

_-_-_-_

The moon looked so inviting, but after an hour of staring at it and thinking, I had to go back inside. Surely Robin was sitting at the computer, going over crime files or monitoring the city. It wouldn't be long before he became too alert, and would hear me if I tried to sneak back in.

I sighed heavily and reluctantly pushed myself off my knees, standing and brushing bits of rock and grass off my hands. I turned halfway towards the tower's entrance and eyed it, expecting someone to open it and yell at me.

I was becoming very paranoid lately.

I walked up to the tower door and held up my hand to press the button, so it would open up and let me into the warm shelter that held my four teammates. I hesitated, but opened it anyway.

And sure enough, there was Robin, sitting ever so seriously at his keyboard, biting his thumbnails and not taking his eyes off the screen. But something was different. He wasn't in his uniform. He was wearing jeans and a red T-shirt. He looked like any other normal teenage boy. And he wasn't wearing his mask.

Before I could catch myself I was staring. I knew I should have gone upstairs, but he didn't seem to notice me, so maybe I could... Just this once...

I slid noiselessly onto the couch, keeping my eyes on Robin the whole time. Since he paid no attention to my move, I decided I could flip onto my stomach and rest my chin on my hands, so I would have support in case I spaced like I always did. Just looking at Robin's eyes could make a person do that. The colors were mesmerizing. The shape was like a perfect circle. You realized his eyes sparkled in any light, no matter the amount. And you find yourself drifting into daydreams (or night-dreams) and pretty soon whenever you see his mask, you think about the gorgeous eyes that lay under it. And it makes you think of oceans and sapphires and all the wonderful blue foods out there, and then –

"Starfire, are you alright?"

I shook myself out of my thoughts and stared, confused, into Robin's questioning gaze. He raised an eyebrow and his eyes seemed to get deeper in color.

I stared and him, and he stared at me.

He stared at me, and I stared at him.

I opened my mouth to explain why I was watching him in the dark... while he was working... so late at night... but nothing came out. I eventually decided to shut my mouth and continue our little staring-contest.

I didn't know what was in store
When I walked right through the door
Then I saw you over there
Our blue eyes locked in a stare
I didn't know quite what to say
Sometimes words get in the way

Robin smirked and stood up, sauntering over to me. I looked up, craning my neck to hold his gaze. He bent down so we were face to face and held out his hand for mine.

"Let's go for a ride" he said, still smirking.

I placed my palm in his and he led me out to the garage, flipping on the light.

We walked over to the R-cycle and he handed me a pink helmet. My helmet. I put it on and got on the motorcycle behind him, wrapping my arms around his warm body.

He revved the engine and the garage door opened, allowing us to be free. We zipped out of the tower at warp-speed, dodging the occasional car and/or animal. I was beaming and I could feel Robin smiling too.

My hair was thrashing in the wind, flying fiercely around my face. My cheeks were red from the cold blasts of air. I hugged Robin tighter and rested my chin on his shoulder. His now un-gelled hair went in crazy directions, but neither of us minded.

And I remember
The night you said

Let's go for a ride

I didn't want the night to end

We drove around for a little more than an hour, zooming past every landmark and important building in the city. Eventually, Robin pulled over on the side of a deserted road, claiming that he needed to rest. He sat down on the sidewalk, and I joined him, flopping down and hugging my knees to my chest. Robin sat back on his hands and gave me a bewildered look.

"What is it?" I asked curiously.

Robin chuckled. "Nothing, it's just that I don't see how someone can just get off a motorcycle, after riding around an entire city..." He reached over and slowly brushed some hair out of my face. "And still look perfect"

I became red as a tomato and looked away, embarrassed.

"Should I look... unbecoming?" I asked.

Robin smiled. "No," he said. "Of course not. It's just that I know I probably look like crap..."

I shook my head viciously. "No, no, no!" I said enthusiastically. "You do not look at all... What I mean to say is..." I racked my brain for words, but none were coming out.

I knew I had to say something, so I looked up at Robin and grinned. "I believe you look very handsome tonight, considering this night involves the rare occasion of you coming out without your mask on," I restrained a giggle as Robin's eyes widened and he touched the area around his eyes. He smacked himself in the forehead and shook his head.

"I can't believe I forgot to put my mask back on. People all around the city have probably seen my eyes by now, and the only one who's ever seen my eyes is you! Argh, how could I-" Robin went off into his little rant, mumbling to himself and covering his eyes.

I playfully rolled my eyes (even though he could not see this) and played with the strings of my purple "hoodie". I leaned over and tried to pry Robin's hands off his face with my fingertips. I was about to laugh, and he glued his hands tighter to his eyes, smiling as well. Robin, being unable to use his hands, had some trouble fighting me off, and he eventually gave in, which resulted in me snatching his hands and trying to make him hit himself.

We were twisted, me trying to hit his cheek with his own fist, him trying to get me to stop (all in good nature, of course). I hovered right in front of his face and stared into his lovely blue eyes once more. I wanted to cherish the moments in which his face was unmasked, because those opportunities didn't come along often enough. I dropped his hands and went somewhat limp, falling into his lap. We stared into each other's eyes and smiled, both of us dazed and day-dreamy.

We looked away at the same time. I slid off his lap and sat next to him on the cold concrete. He scratched his neck and nudged me. I blushed and looked over at him. We smiled in unison and he got up, placing his helmet on his head and holding mine out to me.

"Come on," he said. "We should probably be getting back to the tower"

I grinned and stood up, letting Robin slide my helmet on and buckle it under my chin. He let his hands linger around my face for a few moments before letting them drop and smiling at me. I smiled back, watching his face get closer and closer.

The space began to close between us. I panicked (you can't blame me) at the realization of what was happening.

Before I could stop my mind from freaking out, I had touched my lips to his nose.

That's right, I kissed Robin's nose. He raised an eyebrow and I giggled, skipping around him to the motorcycle. Robin sighed and smiled, rolling his eyes. He got on in front of me and pushed back the kickstand with his foot.

We were off, back to the tower.

Would we be - more than friends?
Yet little did I know before
We would be something more

_-_-_-_

A week after the midnight motorcycle ride...

I was flying high above the streets of Jump City, on lookout, since it was my night. As I was glancing around for villains and signs of crime, my communicator rang. Cyborg had updated them to work like cell phones now. We could send texts, take pictures, anything. The thing causing mine to ring just happened to be a text from Robin.

Star, It read in black and white. Do you remember a few days ago, when we went on that motorcycle ride? How about we do it again? Soon? –Robin

I smiled and saved the message, figuring that I should probably finish patrolling the city before I let my emotions get the best of me.

A few minutes later, when I was walking on the sidewalk, still looking for anything unusual, my communicator rang again. I knew I should answer it, but I couldn't let anything draw me away from my work. I continued wandering.

I decided to check my communicator for a message. If it were important, the caller would have left a message. I flipped open the device and held it up to my ear, entering voicemail.

"Hey, Star," Robin's nervous voice said. I smiled. "It's Robin. Well, duh. Anyways... I knew texting was lame. I shouldn't have ever sent that, I should have asked you in person. I just... uh... This is hard for me, but... um... yeah. Do you think you'd want to go for another motorcycle ride? If... it's not awkward or anything. I think it'd be...fun..." Robin's voice trailed off, obviously into his thoughts.

"What are you doing, dude?" Beast boy's voice said, sounding taunting. The sound of metal sliding shut followed his voice.

"Nothing!" Robin's voice replied. "Callmebackbye" Robin whispered into the phone. The voicemail ended, and I giggled.

I hit the 'save' button. My eyes widened and my lips curved upward as an idea popped into my head. I flew back to the tower, eager to talk to Robin.

In black and white I read the screen
All your lines and in between
And then your message on the phone

I saved to hear when all alone
And now I know just what to say
This doesn't happen everyday

_-_-_-_

Robin was pacing when I got back to the tower. I knocked on the frame of his open door and he jumped, startled. The he smiled at me.

"You, h-haven't, by any chance, l-listened to your voicemail recently, h-have you?" Robin stammered nervously.

I smiled and nodded. Robin smacked his forehead.

"Oh, man," he said, beginning to pace again. "I knew I shouldn't have... Oh man, oh man, oh man"

I stepped next to him and wrapped my arms around his shoulders, pressing my body into his. He hesitated for a moment, then wrapped his arms around my waist.

"I thought it was sweet," I said into his shoulder. "You do not see that side of Robin very often"

"Well, you do." He said into my hair. I smiled and hugged him tighter, shutting my eyes and reliving the memory of riding on his motorcycle with him.

I remember
The night you said

Let's go for a ride

I didn't want the night to end

Would we be - more than friends?
Yet little did I know before
We would be something more

Ta-da!!!!

Please tell me if you liked it! =)
