Kiss the Girl
"These are angelfish." The raven haired boy pointed out the colorful fish to the red-headed alien beside him. "And those white ones, the ones that are coming from under the sand, those are sunfish."
Robin looked across the rowboat at Starfire, who was peering excitedly over the edge. An ecstatic smile was covering her face as the Boy Wonder told her about the different species of fish that lived on the reef surrounding the Titan's Island. Robin watched the crimson beauty with a small smile creeping onto his lips.
Percussion
A light shower of rain, barely felt, fell from the blue-gray sky.
Strings
Somewhere on the island, crickets began playing their miniature violins.
Winds
A light breeze began blowing across the reeds on the beach close to where the rowboat drifted, making them whistle softly.
Words
Starfire sensed she was being watched and turned to Robin, who quickly looked back down into the darkening water. After a moment Robin returned his stare to the Tamaranian princess, unable to keep his gaze off her for much time.
There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say
But there's something about her
And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
You wanna kiss the girl
Robin's thoughts turned to more than just Starfire's beauty.
Yes, you want her
Look at her, you know you do
Possible she wants you too
There is one way to ask her
It don't take a word
Not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl
As she turned to face him he leaned forward ever so slightly.
Sing with me now
Robin suddenly pulled back thinking: Oh, I can't do it! I may be able to fight psychotic villains, but I can't kiss the girl of my dreams! He was thoroughly disgusted with himself.
Shalalalalalalah
My oh my
Look like the boy too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl
Shalalalalalalah
Ain't that sad
Ain't it a shame? Too bad
He gonna miss the girl
While Starfire was watching Robin look at everything but her, the small boat floated into a tiny, willow-covered inlet on the island.
Now's your moment
Floating in a blue lagoon
Boy ya' better do it soon
No time will be better
Starfire only smiled sweetly as Robin once again turned his gaze to her.
She don't say a word
And she won't say a word
Until you kiss the girl
Robin tried to summon up his courage the way he did in a fight, but it seemed that the greater forces wanted him to do this on his own.
Shalalalalalalah
Don't be scared
You got the mood prepared
Go on and kiss the girl
The normally, Boy Wonder finally decided to wait a while longer before he did the daring deed.
Shalalalalalalah
Don't stop now
Don't try to hide it how
You wanna kiss the girl
Robin and Starfire floated along, listening to the music that the night had brought with it.
Shalalalalalalah
Float along
And listen to this song
The song say kiss the girl
Robin again leaned closer to Starfire and this time she leaned towards him too. No going back now, Robin thought resolutely.
Shalalalalalalah
The music play
Do what the music say
You gotta kiss the girl
They moved towards one another slowly. One jump, he thought, just one big jump across this gap.
You got to
Kiss the girl
They shifted slightly forward again.
You wanna
Kiss the girl
They moved closer until they were a few inches from one another's nose.
You gotta
Kiss the girl
Their faces were millimeters apart now.
Go on and
Kiss the girl
And in one fluid movement the distance was closed and their lips met. The kiss lasted just a few moments, but each of them remembered it feeling like eons.
Though unbeknownst to them, Robin and Starfire had a witness to their first kiss. But as that friend ducked back into the secret passage he knew he would never tell anyone about what he had just seen. Not only would he probably endure large amounts of physical pain, but this was Robin and Starfire's special moment and Beast Boy would gladly be tortured 'till death before he told anyone. And after death was only if he told the secret at all.
