Starfire was shaking. She hadn't felt this out of sorts since she'd landed on Earth.
A knock sounded at her door that had her jumping and emitting a strange, high-pitched sound. She went to see who it was, not even sure who she was hoping for.
She answered the door. "Hello, friend."
"Hey, Star." It was Robin. "Can we talk?"
"Oh, yes! Please do the coming in." She stood back and let him in.
He came inside and stood in the middle of her room. He waited for her to shut the door and approach him but only one of those things happened. So he approached her. Silently, carefully. "Starfire, how do you feel?"
"Feel?" She was terribly confused.
"After our battle tonight? I know you and Raven are just as strong as us guys but things do effect you differently. It couldn't have been easy to be captured-"
"It was not so much the capture as the restraints." She blurted out.
"The restraints?" It was his turn to be confused. But only momentarily. "It reminds you of being imprisoned."
"Yes." She swallowed thickly, lowering her head in shame, hiding her tears from him.
He came to stand directly in front of her. "May I touch you?"
She flinched but nodded. "Yes."
Using his index finger, he lifted her chin so she could stare directly into his face as he peeled his domino mask off.
Emerald eyes widened as they met sapphire irises. Her jaw dropped, seeing his eyes for the second time but no less awe-inspiring.
He made sure to speak slowly, clearly. "I trust you with my life, my mind and my heart. You are my best friend and I love you. Will you trust me?"
Starfire watched him with wide eyes. This was the first time he'd ever said something like this to her. The first time he hadn't stumbled over what she meant to him. Of course she trusted him! She nodded, breathless. "Yes."
"Meet me in my room after your bath."
"Your bedroom?" He'd never let her in his room before.
"After your bath." He brushed his lips across hers gently and then he was gone.
She gasped, not knowing what to do. Should she grab Raven and force her to sit through girl talk? Why was she meeting Robin in his room? What were they to do? She hoped it had something to do with intimacy but with the boy wonder, who knew?
Starfire took a calming breath and listened to her heart. Her heart was telling her to go take a bath.
