Starfire happily hummed to herself as she made her way to the rooftop. Once on the roof she immediately took her favourite spot at the edge of the roof.
She sighed. She had missed the sunset but the sky was still beautiful, complete with a full moon and its accompanying stars. She stared into the open space dreamily.
"You're late Sweetheart."
Starfire smiled as she looked to her right and there from the shadows emerged Red X. Footsteps were the only sounds that could be heard as Red X walked towards her and sat down next to her.
"Greetings X!" Starfire greeted him. "I apologize for being late but it was the cinderblock that took much time"
Red X just laughed at her cute face. Her expressions were so cute. Matched with her fiery personality, she was just killer!
Red X gave her a lollipop as he casually swung his hands around her shoulders.
"So how was your day?" asked Red X.
It had been like this for quite some time now. Red X came to meet Starfire everyday on the rooftop of the T-tower usually during sunset and they had long chats deep into the night.
It had all started the day Red X accidently injured her during their third battle. He had come to apologize. To make peace with his conscience, he had said. That night was their longest talk and from then on it was a routine.
They talked about anything and everything. They had talked about each others likes and dislikes and Red X had even got her a burger filled with Mustard when he found out it was her favourite drink. Red X was the only one (except Silkie) who ate her pudding of happiness which she made on Raven's birthday.
They had also discussed about each others pasts. The fears they faces, and the hardships they had been through. Sometimes Red X would tell her when and what he was going to steal but to his surprise she never once let her team know about it.
But even in the midst of this growing friendship, Red X still flirted with her and Starfire would counter him at times. Times when she blushed or bravely flirted back were the times that Red X could not contain the happiness within himself. It was these times when he felt like kissing her or hugging her. But he never actually did it. He knew he would kiss her one day but that would be the day when she allowed him to, when she wanted him too.
