First one posted to the TT section, I've only been trolling this area for a few months now...

It wasn't said, it hadn't needed to be said.
After Starfire and Robin decided to just be friends, his fondness was pointed at another almost instantly.
The other titans wonder if that's why the two didn't work out, but only Starfire really knows, and she doesn't say.
There is quite fondness and affection between the two now, recently reciprocated.
It was in the way they walked together, their perfect wordless communication, their eyes and faces when they saw or talked of each other.
Their love was tender, and gentle, the kind that builds in ways only those involved appreciate.
And Robin didn't seem to need to tell his team he was in love, because they understood, because there was nothing wrong with it, but the reason it was never said... because it was dangerous.
People accepted it when he was with Starfire, but they would not if they knew it was Beast Boy.
So their love was quiet, kept behind closed doors, or with disguises; he could not show nearly as much worry for the changeling as he felt, for fear that someone would notice, in return Beast Boy could not show his affection to the Boy Wonder without great care and planning so that it could not be interpreted the 'wrong way', no matter how right it really was.
Other outed superheroes were met with discrimination, hatred even, although there were still people who cared for them; still wanted to be saved by them; the hero's would suffer great pain by those whom they had helped.
So even now as they kissed in Robin's darkened room, door locked should anyone choose to visit, it was not said.
The phrase that would seal their fate could not be spoken, for there was still fear of what would become of them, but it was already too late.
There was passion in every touch, heat in every brush of lips, tenderness in the small smiles they passed back and forth, and loving tones in their voices.
They whispered even though the walls were sound proof, their touches gentle despite their strength, and their hearts fitted each other perfectly; cracked and damaged as they were.
No, it was never spoken, but the most obvious things never are.
