The Choice
The alarm clock went off, causing Robin to briefly jump out of his slumber. He pounded it, causing the noise to die out. He grabbed his mask and pulled it over his eyes... it was 5:30 in the morning. Robin walked down the hall, half asleep, to the bathroom on his part of the tower. He took a cold shower, got dressed, and reached for his personal bottle of hair gel... which he used to spike his hair (AU: Duh!)
This was Robin's wake up routine... and it had been this way for... as long as he could remember. Robin walked down the dark corridors as he tried to make out where he was going. He passed by Beast Boy's room, thinking about how unserious and sometimes funny he could be.
Then he walked by Raven's room... the mysterious Goth with a creepy liking towards dark. Even thinking about her sent an unwanted chill up his spine.
He walked by Cyborg's room next... one of his best buds he felt he could be comfortable talking about anything with. He was a half-robot with superhuman strength and a sonic canon to boot.
He walked by Starfire's room, which was closest to Robin's destination, the training room. He took a little time to think about her. Starfire had come to Earth a newcomer, ignorant in their ways. She often seemed innocent, but Robin had been proved many times that she was very intelligent. Even though she looked somewhat fragile from the outside, she had massive strength and she had an arsenal of Starbolts which she could shoot from her hands and eyes. Robin had spent most of his time with her to help her get accustomed to Earth at first, and they quickly had become best friends. Robin was amazed at how fast Starfire could understand their "odd" customs, yet she managed to get things mixed up now and then. Even though she had been taught almost everything she needed to know, Robin still spent most of his time with her because she was easy to talk with and he loved to be with her.
He sighed, and walked to the training room.
It was now 9:00 a.m. and everyone was up except Starfire. Raven had actually come out and was meditating outside of the tower. It was Beast Boy's turn to cook as he smirked to an obviously agitated Cyborg.
Robin was sitting on the circular sofa, reading the front page while sipping a mug of coffee. But Robin wasn't completely thinking about the front page. After he had finished training, Robin had made himself a pot of regular caffeinated coffee, sat on the circular sofa, and read the newspaper. He was particularly bored. He didn't want anything to do with Cyborg and BB's food quarrels, he didn't want to think about what Raven would do to him if he interrupted her meditation, and Starfire was still asleep... Starfire.
That was as far as he got before a curious Beast Boy abruptly pulled him out of his thoughts.
"Dude, you've been sitting there for like, two hours!" Beast Boy said, stressing Hours "Look, you've even spilt coffee on your newspaper!"
There was, in fact, a giant stain on the newspaper... which hadn't soaked through yet, but was on its way. Robin threw it off of him in a hurry, trying to come up with something to say.
"Look, Beast Boy," The masked teen said "I'm completely fine!"
Robin looked somewhat agitated and Beast Boy noticed this, but he was not particularly interested in starting a fight with his leader.
"Yeah Dude, whatever..." Beast Boy said, noticing a suspicious Cyborg edging his way towards the kitchen "Dude, what do you think your doing!" he managed to shout.
"Aw... nothing!" Cyborg shouted back.
Robin let out a sigh of relief, glad Cyborg had saved him from explaining himself to Beast Boy.
"Good Morning friends!" a cheery voice said, "Is it not a glorious day!"
Robin reacted to this by looking out the front window which went from one side of the room to the other. He saw Raven meditating outside and noticed that it actually looked like it could rain at any time. This made him chuckle to himself.
After a few manly grunts from the others, except Robin, Starfire walked in. She noticed that Robin hadn't replied and this made her worried.
She walked over to the sofa and found the closest spot to sit by Robin.
"And I take it that you, too, are having a wonderful day so far, Robin?"
He turned his head and gazed into Starfire's Emerald eyes. Her hair had a very small curve from the top of her head which went down to just about her circular eyebrows. Some dangled freely past her ear lobes, While the rest of her hair went down to the small of her back. Her skin was a tainted orange and she had an almost perfect nose. He thought she was very beautiful.
Robin was compelled to look further down her body to get a "better" description, but he quickly shook himself from his trance and gave Star a small grin.
Starfire grinned back, taking his facial expression as an answer to his question.
They sat like that for the next 10 or so minutes, not saying a word, but giving each other small glances back and forth while the other wasn't looking, of course.
Starfire thought about Robin. Since she had come to Earth, Robin had always been there for her. He helped her when she did not understand things. She quickly considered him her best friend and spent all of her free time with him. Recently she had developed deeper feelings for him, feelings of longing and compassion. She didn't even try to deny it. On her planet, emotions were important, and she knew she was feeling love. She often did things for Robin, things she didn't do for the others. She often got him things, praised him for anything he did, and his opinion of what she did often weighed out all 3 of the other's. Robin was mysterious and very stubborn, but sometimes when Starfire was alone with him, she could tell that behind his mental barrier, there lied a compassionate and understanding boy, And in a sense, this made Starfire want to get even closer to him. But Starfire was happy that he was willing to be her best friend and would not do anything that might ruin their connection... And he was also very handsome!
"It's done!" Beast Boy shouted, pulling both Robin and Starfire out of thought.
He pulled out a pot from the oven which unmistakably contained Tofu.
Cyborg look disappointed as Robin took the head of the table, Starfire sitting in the closest chair to him.
"Dude, where's Rav..." Beast Boy half said, obviously noticing Raven outside of the window behind the entertainment system.
Beast Boy walked over and lightly tapped the window.
This broke Raven from her concentration, but she just turned around, keeping a calm facial expression, and gave Beast Boy a glare as in she were saying, "No, whatever it is, I don't care."
Beast Boy started making expressions as if he were sticking something in his mouth. He then began to chew on imaginary food.
"You know, Genius," Raven said "this glass isn't sound proof. If you have something to say, say it."
Beast Boy was taken aback by Raven's sarcastic nature, but quickly responded, "Food."
"Eep!" Starfire managed to let out as Robin pinned her to the ground in a manner so he would not hurt her but she couldn't get away.
"Hand it over." Robin said with a half amused grin on his face.
Flashback Starfire was bored. She had meditated with Raven, Beast Boy had given her a lecture on where Tofu Came from and Cyborg had been working on the T-car which she didn't feel like helping with. She decided to visit Robin who was busy at his computer. She snuck in managing to get a peak at what Robin was doing. He was investigating old crime files, very old crime files from the looks of it, maybe five or more years that they hadn't been solved.
"Robin?" she had said with an easing voice.
Robin replied as he spun around in his chair, "Oh, hey Star... what's up?"
"If in by saying this you mean How are you doing," She said with a slight grin "then I am fine, and you?"
Starfire knew what the saying meant, she knew more then Robin knew she knew(AU: sorry if that's confusing) but she liked to have Robin explain things to her.
"Yeah it does...and fine." He said.
There had been an awkward silence but Starfire wasn't ready to let the conversation die down, she sparked an idea.
"Do you know about the Recklarfs?" Starfire stated with a mischievous smirk
"Huh?" was all Robin could say.
Starfire didn't give him time to make a full reply, "Oh yes, you must have! Do you know what they do?"
"I don't think so, what?" Robin said, unsure of what Starfire was planning.
"Well, first, they do this!" Starfire grabbed on one of his steel toed boots and pulled it off. "And then you shall never see it again!" she managed to giggle as she ran out his door.
"Wait, what? Come back!" Robin said as he ran out after her.
He continued to chase her throughout the house. Flashback end
"I said give it back!" Robin said trying to pry the boots from Starfire's hands which were placed under her body so that it would be very hard to get them.
Starfire could easily get out of his grip with her strength, but she liked the position they were in.
"Never!" she managed to let out.
"Ok then, you asked for it!" Robin began to tickle starfire's neck causing her to almost lose grip on Robin's boot.
"I will never give it back, it is mine now!" Starfire said between giggles. She regained her grip on the boot, only making Robin tickle her harder.
Starfire was almost yelling out her laughter as she now was trying to break free of his grasp. She pulled her arms from under her body in an attempt to get away but Robin now tickled her under her armpits causing Starfire to turn around in his arms.
Robin stopped dead as he now realized the position that they were in. Starfire hadn't noticed what was going on until her giggles died down and she, too, froze. They both looked into each other's eyes. (AU: well Robin is wearing a mask but you know what I mean)
Robin felt like the hallway was a little to hot. Starfire's mouth lay slightly open as she could only imagine what Robin's next move would be. Robin could feel Starfire's warmth flowing through him and he could hear his own heartbeat rising. Robin felt awkward... yet comfortable at the same time, and he nor Starfire couldn't ignore the fact that their faces, indeed, were getting much closer.
Beeeeooop, Beeeeooop, Beeeeooop. The hallway started to flash red, and the unmistakable sound of the Teen Titan's siren going off.
Robin leapt to his feet, taking the boot from Starfire's hand, and managed to stutter, "It...it must be some sort of tr-trouble." He then ran off to the communications part of the tower.
He had left her there, lying on the ground. She got up without making any kind of sound, walked over to the wall with a frown on but her sad look slowly turned to an angry one as she looked up towards the siren. She took off in flight to join her friends in the Communication tower
Robin was sitting at the Super Computer reading the print out of what was the matter. Even though Beast Boy and Cyborg could read, they still both had to say in unison, "What's the problem!"
Starfire and Raven flew in simultaneously but neither said anything. Robin was reading the print as fast as it was coming and looking up every now-and-then to check the Digital Map. All of a sudden his indifferent face turned into a drastic face of worry. The other titans noticed this and looked at him as if in waiting for an answer.
Robin replied to their glances, "It's...It's him."
End of Chapter 1
Ok guys so what do you think? I know, I know... You are probably thinking "Wtf, this is rated R?! My 3 year old sister has seen worse than this!" I tried to keep chapter 1 completely clean... but I promise you I'll add some spice to it in later chapters. Anyways... suspenseful ending, huh? Well... REVIEW, tell me if you hate it, like it, love it...but as soon as I get 10 reviews it's on to chapter two! Sorry... I sound like a 10 year-old right after Halloween which I could be if I was 5 years younger. I'll try to keep the Chapters at about this length, bigger, if not.
