Day 1 - Scars/Hospital
With the sun beating down on the ocean surface, there was a shimmering glow reflecting from the calm waves lapping against the shore.
The water was slow as it crept up on the bank where the tower stood, only to recede back again, mere seconds later.
Starfire smiled softly as she kicked her legs back and forth, having opted for sitting on the edge of a large boulder which was lodged amongst a few others out a little way into the depths of the sea.
She shifted, tugging at the halter straps of her violet bikini top to ensure it was tight enough around her neck. Humming a tune to herself, Starfire leaned back on her palms, basking in the heat and the sunlight trickling over everything in its path.
There was suddenly a loud splash from a short distance away.
The Princess smiled before opening her eyes; just a tad to watch the dark haired boy emerging from the water.
Robin flashed her a grin and waded through the ocean towards her, the droplets cascading from his drenched hair and dribbling onto his skin.
Starfire patiently waited for him to reach her, giggling as he briefly dipped below the surface, making only his eyes visible to her.
It was a glorious day, in her opinion. Initially, she found it a shame that their friends could not join them at the base of their home for some aquatic fun.
However, she had to admit, she was thoroughly enjoying the alone time with her boyfriend. It was a somewhat rarity with him after all.
As team leader, she understood his being so busy all the time. He was the one that made sure reports were filled out and he was the one who made sure everything was wrapped up properly after pursuing a criminal.
It was one of the things she loved so much about him so snatches of his time such as this were greatly appreciated.
She jumped as his cold, wet hand landed on the back of her calf. It wasn't due to the temperature, of course, but because he was a master of stealth even in the water.
"Robin!" She squealed, her smile betraying intent to reprimand,
He smirked, "You rang?"
Starfire shook her head as he moved through the water a little more, coming to stand between her legs. His hands moved on their own accord, resting atop of her thighs with his thumbs rubbing her skin in small circles; affectionate brushes just so he could touch her.
Her arms wrapped around his shoulders and she gifted him with a chaste kiss, coming away to brush his bangs out of his cobalt eyes. Slowly, her hands moved and her fingers gently splayed across his chest.
Emerald eyes admired his physique and she felt her heart race. She could never deny that he was extremely handsome and sometimes, the subtlety of those thoughts escaped her.
"You alright there, Star?" He asked, the confidence clear in his tone,
With a quiet purr, her eyes swivelled to his face, "Mhm… you are wonderfully satisfying to gaze at, Robin."
A faint blush touched his cheeks but he grinned at her, "Thanks. For the record, so are you. Obviously."
Starfire smiled before her expression turned curious, her fingers gliding over a scar on his collarbone. It was faint; clearly one that had marked him many years ago.
"You've stared at them before…" He murmured, watching her interest in his former wounds.
"Hm?"
"My scars. You always get so daydreamy."
Starfire flushed and pushed some of her auburn hair behind her ear, "Apologies. They are somewhat celebrated on my world."
"Oh?"
She nodded, "The more scars you have upon your body represents how formidable you are. Galfore is greatly respected for the scar across his eye that in turn, caused his loss of sight. It is a large scar and one that is constantly on show. It is deemed very intimidating."
"So if you only have a couple?"
"You are deemed a warrior but not one to strike fear in the hearts of many."
Robin nodded, "Huh… so… where am I on the formidable warrior scale then?"
Starfire sucked in a pensive breath, her eyes wandering over his torso, "You have many scars… numerous ones on your chest and also some on your back-"
He raised an eyebrow at her,
She shrugged and smiled, "I have felt them when we do the snuggling at night."
He chuckled, "Fair enough."
"You also have gained your scars from battles which increases a warrior's status. You would rank highly on Tamaran. There would be many wishing to challenge you to a duel."
"Really?" He replied, his intrigue very obvious,
Her smile turned cheeky, "You are dating the Princess… these scars of battle would need to be tested to ensure you are capable of being my lover."
Robin smirked, "I bet I could take em'"
She rolled her eyes, "Of that, I have no doubt."
He leaned forward and gave her a kiss. Starfire tapped his shoulder, signalling to stop which he did immediately,
"What's up?" Robin asked,
"May you tell me the stories of some of them?"
"Sure."
Starfire chewed her bottom lip, looking adorable as she did so. Her fingers danced across his skin, tapping the one at his collarbone. It was pale and almost invisible but it was there; a long thin scar.
"This one?" She asked,
"Knife wound from Two-Face when I was 14"
She frowned at the idea of someone stabbing her boyfriend but nodded nonetheless. Moving along the planes of his chest, she found a small burn along the side of his ribs; clear due to the weathered scar.
"And this?"
Robin glanced down and grimaced, "Burn from Mr Freeze when I was 12. I still remember how that one felt… unfortunately."
Starfire leaned down and pressed a sweet kiss to the mark, causing him to grin.
She was so innocent sometimes and he loved it; that side of her that was just so very gentle when in fact she was a fearless warrior Princess.
Sliding her hand downward, she stopped at his abdomen, hard and chiselled from relentless training. There was a small circular scar and she was fairly certain she knew what weapon had caused it.
"…This one?" She winced,
His smile was sympathetic, "Gunshot from Joker when I was 10."
Starfire's eyes widened, "You were so young… how did you survive?"
Rubbing his neck, Robin smiled softly, "I had Alfred on hand and letting me die is unheard of in that man's world. There was a hell of a lot of blood but… I pulled through. It was pretty close though."
She shook her head and laughed, "You are not even the close to being a normal human. You are aware of this?"
Robin chuckled, "Very."
Starfire glanced at a rough looking scar about the length of her finger on his elbow. Raising an eyebrow, she touched it,
"This?"
Robin gulped and somewhat pulled away from her, "Um…"
She sensed the discomfort, "If you would prefer not to say, that is-"
He smiled absently, "It's okay… it's a… personal scar. It was when I was 5 and I fell from the practice trapeze at the circus. My very first fall, I broke my arm and got a scar from it too. I'd call that an achievement."
There was that sad, wistful tone of his; the one Robin always got when talking of his childhood at the circus. Starfire swallowed and averted her eyes, retracting her hands.
"I… I apologise, I did not-"
He grabbed her hands, "Don't… it's nice to talk about it."
She nodded slowly whilst he moved her hands onto his hips. Starfire watched as he raised an eyebrow at her,
"You know which one is my favourite scar?"
The Princess blinked, "You have the favourite scar?"
"Of course,"
Laughing, she asked, "Which one?"
Robin lifted a hand and pointed to the crook of his neck where a small, white scar was. It appeared to be a burn but not to the same degree dealt by the Mr Freeze.
She tilted her head in question, "Where did you receive that one?"
He was coy, rubbing his palms over her thighs, "From this girl…"
Starfire went stiff before she could stop herself and she tried to hide any form of jealousy regarding this girl Robin spoke of.
"Oh?"
Robin smirked, "Mhm. When I first met her, she was kinda out of control and so one stray little starbolt hit me and-"
She gasped, her hands fluttering to her face, "I… I scarred you?"
He nodded, not understanding her horror.
Tears welled in her eyes, "Why did you not tell me? Oh, this is awful! I am so sorry, Robin. I have never intended to harm you and especially never intended to maim you; even back when we first met and I did not know if you were friend or foe-"
"Star, stop." He told her, lifting a hand to calm her,
"But… I hurt you."
"We didn't know each other. I'm glad you did; at least you were protecting yourself."
"But-"
"It's in the past, Star. But, it is special to me."
She was meek, "It is?"
He kissed her nose, "Of course it is. It's a constant reminder of the day we met and that is a scar worth sporting."
Starfire blushed, "I am still most sorry for scarring you…"
"Meh, I'm tough. I took it like a pro."
Giggling, she kissed the scar in question, "By the looks of your scars, I believe you could win the medal."
Robin laughed before he lifted his eyes to hers, "Do you have any scars?"
"I do." She beamed,
He narrowed his eyes but couldn't spot them, "Hm… I can't… where abouts?"
Starfire hummed a purr and leaned forward, brushing her lips against his ear, "I believe you will have to get much closer in order to see mine, my love."
Robin smirked, "Gladly."
