'Ello, everyone. Tis another short one-shot with my fav. pairings: Rae:Beast Boy hinted at and Star:Robin! Enjoy.


Cat Who Ate The Canary

Starfire dangled her legs over the side of the Tower, watching the waves below. Robin stepped out of the doorway and walked over, stopping behind her back.

"Something wrong, Starfire? You haven't been yourself lately." Her head dropped lower.

"I fear… that you do not like me." Startled, Robin sat down beside her.

"Why do you think that, Star?" She didn't look at him.

"Because you do not seem to wish to be near me, and whenever it is that we touch, you draw away most quickly. Have I offended you somehow?" The leader of the Titans blinked, stunned by her interpretations of his recent behavior. With a firm hand he turned her face towards him. Her huge, beautiful green eyes were naïve and hurt, and he felt that overwhelming surge of love for her rise again.

"That's not why, Starfire." And then he hesitated, logic and emotion battling each other. Suddenly, moved by the sadness in Starfire's searching eyes, he leaned forward and kissed her gently.

"That's why." He finished. And her eyes lost that injured tint as their lips met again.

:T:

Raven walked down the halls, intent on finding and thrashing Beast Boy for leaving his trash in her room again, and nodded to Starfire. The she stopped, eyeing the alien with a raised eyebrow.

"You look like the cat that just ate the canary." She said finally. Starfire's quiet smile grew into a satisfied one at the remark.

"More like the robin." With a nod to Raven, she went on her way. For a moment Raven stood there, watching the teen turn a corner. Then she threw back her head and laughed. Finally she stopped, shaking her head with a knowing smile on her face, and went to give Beast Boy a very unexpected surprise.
