OKay so this is my first time writing a t and t fic- hope you all like it and remember that I dont own any of the teen titans characters!
This story takes place after Tokyo- about ten years to be exact - everyone is around 25-26, also everyone has moved on and out of the tower but they still remain a team during crime fighting, and friends as well during regular time- they are not jsut the teen titans anymore-media has changed the dynamics to The Titans.
Raven opened up her own historical library in Gotham containing ancient artifacts from many different cultures and countires- she was especially fascinated with the Japanese culture and added the theme to the building, she has also moved on from her dreery gothic and dull taste with the help of her best friend Starfire gotten up to speed with fashion. Beast boy and Raven who during the day calls herself Raechel, have after many years of being friends and yet annoying the crap out of one another so much have gotten together and are now living together. Beast Boy also known as Garfield has moved on from the lazy old life style and has turned to quite the business man- of course in a feild that bugs the crap out of his girlfriend , club owner and promoter. And as for Cyborg slash Victor Stone he is no longer - Raven helped him magically f course with becoming the hero that he desired - he is now fully human but also with the allias as Stone. He owns his own authentic car dealership and is dating Starfire's older sister Bluefire aka Floria Anders. As for our favorite power couple - for the moment they are no longer. Robin aka Dick Greyson went under the wing of Bruce Wayne' million dollar corperation they became partners. A few years back Bruce had convinced Dick to focus on life and a career rather then a relationship- and that could be continued later on in life, so he broke it off and became Gotham's most elligable bachelor and catching up to his father's ranking. And no story would be complete with out Starfire- also known as Korina Anders made the fashion name with herself starting out as a model climbing up to super model and now wedding dress designer, she had surpassed that ditsy clueless attitude and personality for a more fierce and fiesty one, but that was after college and after she let the love of her life and watch him walk away from what they could have had.
But now everyone gathered at Wayne Manor for Dick's 26th birthday all the old gang and some new faces got together to celebrate. They were waiting on the cake now since she had already missed dinner, all that was left to cut the cake, Star got there super pissed because the bakery hadnt had the cake ontime so she was missing precipus time with her earthling friends- but one part that she did like- is with the cake and her little black Chanel dress that hugged her curves beautifly. She walked in and made the entrance much bigger than the birthday boy holding that five tier black and red cake that was litterally on fire.
"Happy birthday!" She shouted through the music and everyone cheered, flashing Dick a bautiful smile that made him shiver. He stood there for a moment gawking at her and not knowing what to say, as usual she had stunned him with hr goddess like good looks.
"Uh-Hey I was afraid you werent going to make it." He smiled at her while not to show his nervousness.
Please you think that I would miss this?" She placed the cake on the bar and gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek, he took in her familiar scent and sighed. He wasn't the only one hung up on the other, she as well was still fawned by him only she had a better control over that type of emotion.
"Hello Kori your looking quite beautiful tonight- don't you agree Dick?" Bruce came to greet the girl that was like a daughter to him.
"uh yeah I do."
"Hey Brucey sorry I'm late the bakery wasnt as prepared as i would have hoped."
"Its quite alright -its good to see you." She hugged him and smiled, he had felt bad- he knew he was part to blame for his son and favorite alien girl not being together as he hoped would have happened by now.
It was kind of awkward standing there for Star in a silence among the looud musid with her ex slash best friend and his dad the one who suggested that they break up but she was happy none the less that is until a peppy voice sounded in the background.
"Kori- your here!" Babs came to Starfire in a powerful embrace. "Hi Babs its good to see you- how's that brother of mine doing."
"He and I are both great and there is a little detail that everyone should be aware of." Babs twirled her hair and showed of the continent sized rock that was on her left ring finger. Barbra and Ryan Anders (wildfire) had been dating for about four years and finally he popped the question.
"Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!" Starfire let out a squeal along with her future sister.
"Omg that rock is huge- I'm going to have another sister now!"
Babs and Kori rejoiced.
"Oh you must let me design your wedding dress and reception dress."
She pleaded to bestfriend.
"I don't know Star- couture isn't really in my price range." Star smiled.
"Oh nonesense this will be your wedding gifts among many more." Babs swore she was about to cry. "Thank you."
"Congrats - Barbra I'm proud of you." Bruce said giving her a hug. "Yeah we're all so happy for you." Robin said while veering over to Star- wondering what happened to there dream that they had before.
Raven came into all th excitment and wondered what was happening.
"Hey what's going on over here we still have to cut the cake- and Gar over here won't let me forget it."
"Raven my dear we have anothr sister to congragulate- Babs is engaged now to my brother!" Star squealed and Raven chuckled in her own "peppy" way.
"Congrats Babs- remind me that Star and I have to plan the wedding shower and hen night." "Oh guys thank you!" Starfire giggled so happy for her friend only feeling a bit uneasy herself, she had the memories running in her mind back when Robin and her were planning they're future together, only everything felt apart. She was ripped from her thought by the man she had always loved and always will.
"Hey Star you alright?" She shook off the sadness and smiled. "Of course, why wouldn't I be?" She asked. Then the dj played a more slow and romantic song all the couples were on the dance floor except them.
"Hey isn't this your favorite song?" He said as "It will Rain" played. She smiled and nodded. "Wow you remembered." He smiled. "Dance with me?" She took his hand and then his shoulders on the dancefloor. It was rather hard for her to be so close to hime like this and to they're song and yet not have him the way she did. He looked around at everyone so happy with they're significant others, now even Bruce had someone by his side. His heart sank knowing that he probably wouldn't ever be with Star again, they both had someone in they're lives, he had been going out with Kitty for almost two years now but Star never talked about her relationship with Roy Harper (Speedy). "Hey so how's Roy doing?" She shrugged. "Good I guess somewhere in Romania at the moment tending to business." "And you didn't go with him?"
"Dick he and I aren't a thing its just more like a fling." Which was the truth he was only someone to keep her company they were more friends and lovers than lovebirds.
"What do you mean a fling?"
"A fling we aren't official in any way."
"Do you even have feelings for him."
"I don't know."
"That's not really fair to him- or to you." She rolled her eyes. "Fair how we are friends I care for him and he cares for me its simple- the way I like it."
"So in other words you are friends with benifits." She scoffed. "And what business is it of yours who I have the benifits with? Its not like he or I are cheating on anyone."
"Yeah more like cheating what either of you want."
"Dick it is your birthday and I want to celebrate with you not to argue, please just forget about Roy okay?" He sighed. "Okay as long as you tell me one thing."
"And what would that be?" She hoped he would have just dropped it. "Do you still have feelings for me?" He said it so sweetly and hoping for the answer he wanted. But before she could answer another perky and annoying voice sounded. "Robin baby!" She ran over and broke the bond between him and Star. "Hey Kit - what are you doing here?" She said she wast feeling up for a party earlier so her prescence was a bit shocking. "I felt a lot better so I decided to come!" She smiled. "Oh hey Kori." Kitten smirked at Star. "Hello Kitten." Star wanted to rip her to shreds noticing the hickies on her neck. "Well if you both will excuse me I am going to get another drink." She walked out swiftly and tried her hardest not to cry, he had always managed to do that- give her a glimmer of hope but ripped away as soon as Kit was brought into the situation. The answer to his question was the one he wanted but she feared he would never know.
She got her drink and headed up stairs, sad as could be buy heading to her favorite place in Wayne Manor, the balcony in her former lovers room. She stepped out onto the balcony and took the warm summer air in, while sipping her drink she just tried to relax herself the drink sure helped after that scenario with Dick.
"Mind if we keep you company?" Gar, Raven, Vic and Floria came into the room to find a gloomy Star standing out by herself.
"No not at all thank you friends." she tried to fake a smile only her friends knew her better than that.
"Look Star you have to let Robin get out of his douchebag state right now he just needs to grown up a little." she smiled at Gar and everyone for being there for her.
"I know it is just I am not so sure I ca wait much longer and keep plying these games, my heart it tired of being hurt by him, maybe I need to learn to let go." Raven stepped in this time.
"Star do you remember the last time you waited for him to grow how good it felt?"
She smiled and ran those good memories trough her mind.
"Yes I do the only problem is that we are not teenagers anymore, I wish to be happy again, even if it is without him, I used to glow and beam everytime he or I came in each other's prescence I used to be in love with him only now any time i see or think of him all i wish to do is cry and fly away- it is even hard to look at him now." she said with tears in her eyes.
"He is in love with you and your in love with him thats why your feeling that way." Floria said.
"I understand that very well sister only my heart feels heavy all the time i still feel broken all the time because of all the events that have happend in out past." she said wit all the doubt in her voice. No one knew what to say, they had never seen her this heart brokn before and it pained the four to kno that there was nothing that they could do for her.
"I think it is time for me to leave friends have a goodnight and have fun for me I wish to be alone for the night."
She walked quickly down the stairs saying good bye toeveryone she could and in a hurried fashion.
But when she came to him she felt as if she was going to choke.
"Dick the party was glorious and I had a great time but i have an early flight in the morning and i must leave now."
"oh already cmon stay atleast for the cake i mean you bought it and all."
"no thank you i really must got have ahappy birthday weekend."
She turned to leave but was stopped.
"hey atleast let me walk you out." she didnt protest as he followed her out to her BMW.
"goodnight Robin."
"Hey- I still want to know the answer."
she smirked at him.
"You know my answer Robin, please stop acting as though you are brainless i do not even wish to get on any of these topics with you, it is too much of a heart ache for me." she sped off leaving him there speechless and feeling like an ass for abandoning her for all those years.
