Starfire's POV
I woke up around 6 A.M. this morning so I could sit on the roof and watch the sunset like i do every morning. Tomorrow is my annual Day of Birth and I am most excited. I cannot wait to spend the day with my friends!
"Good morning Star"
I look over and see my best friend Robin walking toward me with a cup of coffee in his hand.
"Good morning friend Robin! How was your slumber?"
"It was alright. I stayed up late on a slade case. Apparently he was spotted in Bluhaven and has plans to come back to Jump."
I admire the heart Robin has for being the hero, but most days I spend the whole day with him. The past few days I have yet to see him. I even wonder if he remembers what tomorrow is.
"Should you not 'take the break' and realx for the day? You look exhausted."
"Nah I'm good. Just got a lead and I heard you come up here so I thoughts about spending a few minutes with you before heading back.
I frowned
"Is something wrong?" he asked
"No! Nothing is wrong!" I lied
"You're bad at hiding your feeling Star. Whats wrong?" he seemed even more concerned than before.
"Well, I sometimes worry."
"About?" he pried
"You. You seem to involved with the Slade and i fear it is affecting ours and our friend's relationship with you. You lack the sleep and hardly eat when he comes up and you hardly spend time with us." I said all in one breath.
"Oh." he said in monotone.
I sat in silence, waiting for him to say something else and he never did.
"Is it because you feel Slade is more important than us? Your friends?" I asked
"No! Starfire thats not it at all." he said immediately
"Then what is it?"
"I just dont want any of you getting hurt and I don't want last year to repeat itself."
I knew exactly what he meant. It was the time when he became Slade's apprentice and he used us against Robin. If Robin did not obey him, we would die.
"You need not to worry so much about us. We are much stronger than one year ago and we know what to look out for. Please robin. Take a few days off and get some rest. You need lots of it for tomorrow." I said with a smile on my face.
"Why would I need rest for tomorrow?" Robin asked.
"Our friends have planned a day with none of the criminals and all day fun. Go to the park, have a picnic with delicious food and play the game of football. Oh and even go out to eat Sushi!" I replied graciously.
"How come I didn't hear about this?" he asked.
"Perhaps it is because you have been very involved with Slade and have barely talked to us"
"It's not my fault I'm the only one worried about catching slade!" He yelled.
"But Robin-
"You don't need to be going anywhere tomorrow other than to missions and thats settled" he said sternly.
"Very well" I mumbled sadly.
"I've gotta get back to work" He walked away quickly without another word.
With that, I was alone again, feeling even more alone than before. Perhaps he did forget my day of birth. Perhaps he doesn't care about me as much as I thought he did.
Raven's POV
It's 12:00 p.m and everyone is gathered in the common room. Well, not everyone. Robin is still in the evidence room. He's been in there since him and Starfire's little argument. How could she not hear when Star's feeling were screaming at her.
"BOOYAH!"
"Awh man! You totally cheated!" Beast Boy yelled.
"Nah green bean, I'm just better than you" bragged Cyborg
"Another round?"
"Oh its on!"
I chuckled at their musement. I hide my feelings a lot, but those too always seem to make me laugh sometimes. Beast Boy is funny because he laughs at his own jokes and Cyborg ccalls him names fir how stupid the jokes actually are.
"Friend Raven?" I hear Starfire call from behind.
We may be complete opposites but Starfire and I get along really well. We can talk for hours and not get bored.
"What's up Star?" I asked
"I fear Robin has forgotten what tomorrow is. This morning on the roof he said we were to not go anywhere but to missions. So i suppose we can not go to the park and cook the burgers of ham." She said sadly and hungher head.
"Starfire he's just caught up in Slade again and he doesn't want to have fun. We can just go without him"
"But I wish for him to partake in my day of birth festivities."
"Because you like him?" I said, teasing her.
"Well, yes. But I have told you to not tell anyone."
"Don't worry. Your secrete is safe with me." I smiled, knowing everyone else in the tower knew Robin and Starfire were basically madly in love.
"Good." she said, seeming relived.
"Maybe you should just tell him."
"Tell him what?" she asked with wide eyes and a red face
"Relax, not that you like him. Tell him its your birthday and that you want to do something."
"Oh. Well I guess I could but what if he still says no?"
"Trust me. He'll say yes. He would never let you down Star." I said assuringly
"Very well, I thank you for the talk friend Raven!" she bubbly replied.
"Anytime Starfire." I smiled as she walked off.
"Beat that grass stain!"
"but but but but-" mumbled Beast Boy
"Whats wrong? Don't like losing? Or don't like losing twice in a row?!" exclaimed Cyborg
"You suck man. Hey Raven! Wanna play?" asked Beast Boy
"Ha! You asked a girl to play you just so you could win?"
"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked Cyborg in a death threating tone.
"Nothing." he replied fast without another word
"Winner plays Cyborg. You're on Beast Boy " I walked over and picked up the controler to only beat both of them with ease.
Robin's POV
I look at the clock which says 3:45 p.m.
Man how time flys by when you're working an important case. I feel bad for yelling at Starfire earlier, but she doesnt understand how badly I want to catch Slade. Need to catch him. What's so important about tomorrow anyways?
knock knock knock*
"Busy!" I yelled, not wanting to talk to anyone.
"It is I, Starfire. I wish to speak with you about earlier."
"Can it wait? Im on a big breakthrough" I said, trying to get rid of her.
"No, it can not. I am tired of waiting."
I got up to go open the door, deciding to get whatever she wants to discuss over with so i can get back to work. I'm not gonna lie. I care a lot about her. More than I really should and I know she does too. But I need to stop these feelings from progressing and distance myself from her. I can't love a teammate.
"What do you need?" I asked after i opened the door
"I must inform you that tomorrow is my day of birth andand we will be going out tomorrow with or without you. Just because you wish to worry so much doesnt mean I cannot celebrate an important day for me." she said.
Birthday?! How could i forget her birthday? I'm such a bad friend. Shes right I've been so caught up in Slade, I'm hurting our friendship.
"God, I'm so sorry I forgot Starfire, I was just-
"More interested in Slade than me. Yes i see that" she interjected.
"No, Star. I. Ugh, i care about you more than Slade it's just I've been doing so well I lost sight of whats really important. Please forgive me." I begged.
"Okay." she said
"Really?" I asked hopefully
"On one condition."
"Oh." I said, hanging my head.
"You must go with us tomorrow and drop all of this Slade stuff. For a week at the least." She said sternly.
"Deal" I didn't even think twice. She's right and I want her to be happy because thats what she deserves.
"Glorious!" she exclaimed
"I really am sorry i forgot" I apologized.
"It is the all right Robin. I forgive you." she said with a smile on her face.
With that, we walked out of the room side by side and headed down to the common roomroom to spend time with our friends.
