Author's Note: This is just a little fic I wrote for a friend's birthday, that I thought I'd share with you guys. Enjoy!
"Do not look at me!" Starfire cried as Robin prised open the chrysalis, hastily covering her face.
"You're perfect," he promised, and held up a shiny stone for her to see for herself. She took it from him with shaky fingers, and gazed upon her restored face. "And it wouldn't have mattered to us if you weren't," he continued. "We followed you because we missed you, and we want you back, Starfire."
She blinked up at him with tears glistening in her eyes. "Truly?" she breathed, looking at her assembled friends who each agreed in their own ways.
"Shall we go home?" Robin asked, holding out a hand to it.
"Yes," she replied with a bright smile. "Home."

Starfire stood at a window in the tower, glancing out over the city beyond. Robin leant against the doorframe, his eyes upon her.
He heard a huff from behind him as Raven joined him. "Be honest with her," she urged softly, nudging him forward with her shoulder. "She deserves it," she continued before he could argue. "I'll keep the boys away," she promised as he opened his mouth, and disappeared with a swirl of her cape.
His lips curved upward slightly as he entered the room proper and joined Starfire by the window.
"Robin?" she breathed, expression curious.
"Dick," he corrected, pulling off his mask. "Dick Grayson." He tugged off his gloves too and tucked all three into his belt.
"Dick," she repeated, trying out the name.
He blew out a breath. "I wasn't completely honest with you back on that planet. You are perfect," he hastened to say. "You always have been, and always will be, perfect to me," he continued, a slight blush staining his cheeks. "But those weren't the only reasons I came after you. I did miss you, but more than I would a friend or teammate."
"Dick?" she breathed.
He smiled. "I love you, Koriand'r," he breathed.
Her smile was bright. "I love you too!" she exclaimed joyfully.
He grinned, looking boyish, and pulled her in for a kiss. She wrapped her arms around his waist, and surrendered herself what she had dreamt of for so long, the feel of his kiss.
Several moments later, neither knew how long exactly, they felt a soft bump on the top of their heads. They pulled back, and Dick was unable to help a soft chuckle as he realised that they had bumped the ceiling.
"Sorry-" she gasped and they dipped.
"Your powers are tied to your emotions," he interrupted gently as they rose once more. "I could get used to this," he mused, "though we might need to take precautions outside."
Starfire giggled, and with a look of concentration returned them to the floor. "Dick?"
"Yes?"
She linked their fingers together. "I'm glad you came after me."
"Always," he promised.
