Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans. Welcome one, welcome all! I'm so glad you could join me here! Weather you're a returning viewer or you're just joining me now for the first time, rest assured I have a show for you today, and tomorrow, and... You get the point.
Why was it always so confusing? Why couldn't it be simple? Why was liking someone so difficult?
Starfire sighed as she pondered these thoughts. 'We have been part of the same team for two years, but our relationship is still the unclear.'
The alien girl wistfully remembered the moment she had shared with him after the defeat of the evil Commander Daizo.
"Him" was Robin of course. The "stuck up, over-obsessed, try hard, drill sergeant leader of ours" as Beast Boy and Cyborg put it jokingly from time to time.
Despite everything that they had shared, despite all that they had come to understand about each other, even with a kiss in the records! Starfire still didn't know where she stood in Robin's mind. What he thought of her was a mystery to her.
"Hey Star!" called a certain half-robot. "What ya doing up here at this time of night?"
Starfire twirled around, confused, until she noticed the stars and the moon.
Had she really been out here since dinner?
"What's eating ya girl?" Cyborg asked in concern. "Not like you to brood. That's Rob's job."
"I am not the brooding. Merely trying to understand something very confusing." The alien explained.
"Shoot. I won't tell." Cyborg said. He sat down on the precipice of the roof next to the nervous girl.
"You will not tell Robin?" She whispered.
"So that's what this is all about." Cyborg sighed. He had a small grin on his face. "Robin confusing you again?"
"Again?" Starfire asked, worried. "How do you know this is not my first time?"
"It's kinda obvious when you're worried; that, and Raven tells me when you can't meditate properly, kinda a dead giveaway." Cyborg admits.
Starfire bowed her head a bit, embarrassed. "Has Robin noticed?"
Cyborg nodded. "Yeah, but he doesn't know what it's about. He refuses to ask, saying you'd tell us if it was major."
"I do not know what to do friend Cyborg. I do not know what to think. My relationship with Robin is... Complicated. Yet I do not wish it to be so. We find it hard to tell each other how we feel and it is the... Nerve-racking." Starfire spilled her worries to the metallic teen.
Cyborg gave a gentle smile. "It's fine Star, relationships are always complicated, especially when it's more than just friendship. I mean, take a look at BB and Rae. They are the epitome of awkwardness and confusion when it comes to their relationship."
Starfire sighed. "Yes. I know. Perhaps I am simply weak."
Cyborg balked. "I wouldn't go that far. Robin is more secretive than anyone else here, even Rae. So he's bound to cause confusion with anyone he knows, even more so than Raven, which is saying a lot. Maybe you just need some space from Rob, sort out your thoughts ya know?"
Starfire considered this. "Yes, perhaps that would be of some help. I would not need to worry about how to act around him if he was not around. It would be... Relaxing. Then I can return when my thoughts are sorted."
"Sounds like a plan, girl." Cyborg said cheerfully. "Now it's just a matter of where you can go and convincing Robin to let you go." His face sobered a bit. "You might still have to do crime fighting though, Robin won't let anyone of us slack off, even if we aren't around."
"I would do the fighting of the bad guys even if I had been told not to." Starfire announced proudly.
"That's my girl. Now, give me a few days to organize something for you. It's the least I can do to help ya out. I'm sure BB and Rae will be more than happy to help as well." He laughed at Starfire's anxious look. "They already know about your feelings, the only person who doesn't is Robin himself. So don't worry, we can keep your feelings hush-hush."
Starfire nodded happily and followed the metallic Titan inside.
It was glorious to have such good friends.
Chapter 1 complete. Starfire will be going away from the other Titans for a while. I wonder how will Robin deal with it?
