Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans and I never will.
Author's Note: Again, a really early story when I was very unpractised in the way that I write. Originally written in 2010.
Robin arose from his chair in his room, deciding to take a break from his crime reports. He shook his head, trying to wake himself up a little. He looked over at his clock which read: 2:45am. He groaned and yawned as he placed his hand on the sensor to open his door. He trudged down the hall, intending to get a glass of water. It was very quiet so he assumed the titans were sleeping. As he rounded the corner, he came into the main room. It wasn't very dark considering the huge windows which let the light trickle in imensly. He strode over to the kitchen and grabbed a glass. He began the tap and the water splashed as it began to fill the conents of the cup. He turned to look at the moon. He stared as it gracefully lit the whole city. He noticed a shadowed figure laying on the ground. He raised an eyebrow and placed his cup on the counter. He wandered over and looked down. He smiled lightly, seeing who it was. Starfire. He didn't know why, but when she was asleep, she looked very innocent and cute, like now. She was laying with her knees curled up to her chest and she was sucking her thumb. Her other hand was in a half sort of fist. Her hair gently glistened as the moonlight struck it. Her hair was also all hanging over her shoulder as she lay on her side. He slowly kneeled beside her and rested a gentle hand on her shoulder. She didn't move as he do so, though.
"Star? Starfire?" He whispered, gently shaking her shoulder. She stirred and lifted her half fisted hand up and gently layed it upon Robin's shoulder as if she was actually awake. His ears got a little hot at her touch but he continued in his attempt to awaken her. He shook her again. He smiled as she fluttered her eyelids and yawned, stretching her arms and her chest which rose from the ground.
"R...Robin?" She asked, sleepily whilst rubbing her eyes with her hands. She slowly sat up, placing her hands behind her to support herself. She smiled, sleepily.
"Where am I?" She wondered, looking around at her surroundings.
"The main room. You must have fallen asleep." Robin suggested, standing up.
"Robin? What time is it?" She asked, looking up at him.
"Uhm... Like three in the morning. C'mon. Bedtime, Star." He replied, smiling and stretching out a hand to her. She took it, smiling sleepily and came to her feet. She began walking as did Robin, but she stopped and faced Robin. "But. Friend. Why are you still up?" She asked, blinking.
"Crime reports..." He replied, blankly. She placed her hand on her hips and looked drained.
"Robin. You should do the sleeping as well. Staying up very late may cause you harm." She breathed, noticing her door behind her.
"I will." He answered, rolling his eyes behind his mask. Starfire looked at him.
"You promise?" She asked.
"Promise." He replied.
"Uhm. The pinky swear?" She asked, holding out her little finger, tilting her head slightly. Robin chuckled quietly and joined his finger with hers.
"Pinky swear." He assured. They kept their fingers together for a moment. They both blushed and pulled their hands away.
"Uh. Goodnight, friend Robin." She said, smiling and opening her door.
"Goodnight, Star." He replied, as she slipped inside her room. After the door closed, Robin let out a breath he didnt realise he was holding. He walked back to his room and kept his word, slipping into bed.
His heart raced and he knew why. Her voice made him smile. Her laugh made his body tingle and Her touch made him blush. He couldnt help the way he felt when around her. She made him feel happy. He could never get angry at her and would never ever try to hurt her. He ran it through his mind: Starfire. Best friend.
He liked them having that special bond and friendship but he did ponder the thought of having more...
