I do not own teen titans, so please don't sue
Robin stood in front of the silver door that gleamed in the florescent light. He lifted his hand up to the door and muttered some words to himself. He quickly placed his hand back beside him and started pacing again. He muttered a few more words to the door that no one could hear, or so he thought. He scolded himself and began his pacing again. Beastboy and Cyborg peaked around the corner, captivated by his efforts, and a little part of them was trying not to laugh. Raven had been reading her book in the main room but soon even her interest was revealed and she silently followed the other two boys. He held his hand up to the door again and held it there for several minutes, as if he were made of ice. He couldn't move his hand any closer and the other titans were starting to grow impatient.
"Oh for the love of God!" Raven said rolling her eyes, which surprised Robin a bit and made the other two boys give her death stares, they were, after all, trying to be inconspicuous. Robin's hand suddenly turned black and he was thrust forward banging on the metal door with a well polished plaque that read STARFIRE in big bold letters. Before Robin even had time to say a word, the door flew open, Robin's hand turned back to normal and Robin fell down on the floor with his cheeks flaming a deep red as he looked up at Starfire. The other titans quickly ran away leaving Robin by himself, with no more time to prepare.
"Hello Robin" Starfire said blushing a bit.
"Hi," is all that Robin could let out as he stared at his feet. They both just stood there for a moment, each one trying to avoid looking each other straight in the eye.
"Uh… Starfire"
"Yes Robin," she said eagerly, but trying to stay calm.
"Would you… I mean, like… do you want… to… maybe… I don't know…"
Starfire was blushing insanely at this flustered boy standing right in front of him, she had never seen him like this, and for some reason it made her smile, although she was growing a bit impatient as well.
"Yes Robin?"
"Do you think, maybe you'd like to, maybe, I guess, go out later tonight?" Starfire's grin was from ear to ear she hugged Robin so tightly he could barely breathe"
"Is that a yes?" he said smiling.
"Oh yes!"
"Great! I mean… uh good or uh… seven o'clock?"
Starfire nodded happily and flew back into her room. Robin just stood there with a triumphant smile on his face, when Cyborg passed by him with a bunch of old mechanical parts for his car.
"Way not to lose your nerve my man!"
Robin just glared at him.
THEME SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Starfire was anxious, that was sure, but in a good way. She took a look at her clock, which read 6:30, she began to panic. She was very nervous, even though he had finally asked her out. After all these years, five long years! She was starting to lose hope, sure… They had danced, they had hugged, held hands and kissed long before Tokyo, but Robin was a closed book, she knew that. He was very serious about his job, she knew that. But when it came to the idea of them being… well… together, it made her blush and made her feel a little relieved. She thought about when he had finally kissed her, she felt a huge weight taken off of her, a burden that was weighing her down ever since she laid eyes on him. But now… now, they were actually going on a date, she just hope this would follow through, that conversation on the roof in Tokyo, still made her shed a tear, even though she knew that he had undergone a change in those few days.
"We're heroes not tourists, we don't have time for… for this." The line made shivers run down her spine and made her worry a little bit. No one could change in that short of time, she just hoped that tonight, they really could be more, that tonight maybe they could shed the responsibility of the world, that maybe tonight, they could be what they've wanted to be for, those five pestering, tormenting years.
Robin shot a quick glance at the clock, he had forty five minutes before his date with Starfire, and he was feeling pretty confident… well more confident then before at least. He was debating on wearing his uniform, or even wearing his mask on his date with her, in the end he decided to, you never know when evil will break out, and jeans are just not practical to fight in, he rolled his eyes at the thought, even though it was true. A sudden shiver took over his body, what if we're needed in battle? Oh crap, he just knew his night was going to be ruined by plasmas or Dr. Light or some other pathetic villain. He couldn't ruin what he had built up with Starfire, it was almost destroyed in Tokyo, that same conversation made him wonder himself if he was ready to actually let go. He couldn't ruin this again, and he knew that. He quickly ran to the main room and was relieved to see the Starfire wasn't there. She had seemed so eager for their date, and he didn't want anything to ruin that. He walked in swiftly over to the three others sitting on the couch. Cyborg and Beastboy were fighting over a video game and Raven was doing her best to ignore them as she buried herself in a book with strange writing on the front.
"I need your help," Robin said nervously. The other titans just looked at him in a strange way, they had never seen their leader so jumpy.
"Haven't I already helped you enough?" Raven said sarcastically but still with no smile as she shut her book. Robin just shot her a glare.
"Listen I just know something is going to go wrong tonight…"
"Dude, stop doubting yourself" Beastboy said
"Yea you keep on putting yourself down when you know she likes you back" Cyborg added.
"You've got to learn that your more then a leader of a team, now you're an actual… well, teenager I guess" Beastboy said.
These comments kept going on and on for a few minutes, Robin was steaming up, Raven had opened her book again and Robin kept on trying to get his two cents in.
"WILL YOU SHUT UP ALREADY!!!!!!!" Robin screamed. The two titans looked up at him and Raven was still reading.
"I'm talking mission wise morons, I want to have a nice evening with Starfire, and I don't want anything to get in the way. I want you guys to keep the city under control for the night, only call me when there is an emergency, I don't want random messages from you saying that Control Freak is out of jail, you know you can easily handle him without us, got it?"
Beastboy and Cyborg nodded in a way that told Robin that they got the picture.
"Do I get paid for babysitting?" Raven said without even looking up from her book. Robin chuckled a bit under his breathe and left the room to prepare a little more, this was their first date, no way could he mess this up.
Seven o'clock, he was back where he started, in front of the door, Starfire's door. He heard the clash of his fist against the door, this time he didn't need help, and he really did feel more confident. He had actually changed out of his uniform, from green spandex to comfortable jeans, a white t-shirt with a black zipped up sweater, he was still in his mask, of course, but he was feeling a little more comfortable being in not so tight clothes, although it did feel kind of weird.
"One moment more please" Starfire's voice sounded muffled through the door. Robin just stood outside, whistling for a bit rocking back and forth on his feet. The door suddenly swished open as Robin's dropped a little. There stood Starfire, she was wearing a jean skirt that was cut about two inches above her knees. She wore a purple blouse with a white beaded cami underneath. Her hair was pulled back up into a high pony tail. Her outfit was pretty casual, but it caught Robin off guard to see her in a different change of clothes, 'she really is beautiful' he thought to himself, I have no reason to be scared he thought, as he scolded himself.
"You look beautiful Starfire," he said linking his arm in his as they walked out of the tower.
