Who else loves BBStar?

A nasty headache drummed a tempo in Robin's head, every throbbing note adding to his pain. If he had been anybody else, he wouldn't have bothered to climb out of bed at all, content to lie in his dark room all day and wait out the headache; but he wasn't anybody else, he was Robin, leader of the Teen Titans, and needed to appear stoic and unshakable in front of his team. Then again, that wasn't the only reason he made the effort of getting up; there was also Starfire.
For weeks, he had been planning on taking her out the previous night, of gathering his courage and asking her on a date, of sorts. Just his luck, then, that the Titan Alert had sounded before he'd managed to catch Starfire alone. He'd taken out his frustration on their foe, and Cinderblock had been rendered unconscious in record time. Unfortunately, it had been too late to salvage his opening, and Robin had marched straight to his room after the battle. Twelve hours later, he had yet to be bothered by his teammates. Robin wasn't surprised; there were only two people in the Tower who might have come to speak to him, and he was sure Raven had been meditating or reading all night, while Starfire had probably gone to bed.
Robin glanced at his clock, relieved that his friends would most likely be waking soon.
Vainly attempting to ignore the pounding in his head, Robin left his room and headed in the direction of Starfire's own. He knew she would probably be awake and dressed by now, preparing to go down to OPS, as she rarely varied from her morning schedule, and he often walked down with her these days.
Coming to her door, he rapped lightly on the thin metal, waiting patiently until it was clear there would be no answer. It was unusual for her to have slept so late, but Robin shrugged off the thought, thinking she might just have been tired from the battle yesterday. He knocked again, waiting a little less patiently this time for a reply that never came. Clearly, Starfire had already gone down to the OPS room without him this morning.
Slightly miffed, Robin headed that way on his own, mood sourer than it had been when he originally awoke, and his head hurting something fierce. Halfway to OPS, he was joined by Cyborg and Raven, and the three greeted each other with grunts, none of them morning people.
"You two seen BB?" Cyborg asked around a yawn, still half asleep. Robin answered in the negative, perhaps a little sharper than necessary, while Raven raised an eyebrow at the question; Cyborg wasn't dumb enough to repeat the ridiculous question to her. He frowned, thinking Beast Boy wasn't the type to wake up before the others.
As they entered OPS, the three discovered the whereabouts of their missing Titan members. And Robin wasn't happy with what they saw.
Both obviously deeply asleep, Beast Boy and Starfire were entangled on the sofa in a rather compromising position. In human form, Beast Boy was lying behind Starfire, chin lightly resting on her shoulder, with an arm encircling her waist, the other resting on her hip. Starfire looked no more innocent, her face turned to his so their cheeks brushed up against each other, her fingers entwined with his. Their legs were tangled, and the pair of them looked quite comfortable, and rather intimate.
For a moment, the three intruders could only stare. Robin was the first to break the trance, face turning red as he started to shout in anger, which wasn't entirely unexpected; after all, he had seen the girl he fancied himself in love with wrapped around someone – someone who was most certainly not himself. His yelling woke the guilty sleeping beauties, who shot upright so fast that they go caught up in one another and fell to the floor with a thud. Beast Boy had twisted as they fell so that Starfire landed on him instead of the ground, and pulled a face at the feeling of his back impacting the none-too-forgiving floor. Starfire smiled a little sheepishly at him, opening her mouth to express her gratitude and apologies, when they were both brought back to their senses by their rampaging leader.
"I don't believe it! I do not believe it!" he cried loudly, several times. The two Titans on the floor looked up at him in sleepy confusion, while Raven and Cyborg, who were both well aware of Robin's interest in Starfire, tried to calm him down.
Though they felt sympathy for Robin, Raven and Cyborg had known for a while now of the feelings their other teammates had for each other, and were happy for them. While Robin was also their friend, they wouldn't allow him to ruin Beast Boy and Starfire's moment, no matter how upset he was, so they hauled him out of OPS and tried to console him in another room.
As they did that, Starfire and Beast Boy were still on the floor, hopelessly tangled, blinking in confusion. Starfire was still on top of Beast Boy, her top half draped over him, their faces mere inches apart. She didn't seem very inclined to move, and he was equally as content to remain as they were.
"So, interesting night, huh?" he squeaked a little nervously into the red hair that swept around their faces like a curtain.
Starfire leant closer to him. "Agreed," she said lightly, before pressing her lips to his hesitantly. He dispersed her uncertainty by pull her flush against him, deepening the kiss. Neither of them found good enough cause to move from the floor.
