Starfire crept through the security systems effortlessly, letting her mind wander as she did so. She was almost sure that Robin would come here tonight, and adding to the fact that she thought about him a little too much last night, it wasn't a good combination. She looked behind her, making sure that none of the camera's were still working. Satisfied, she turned back and focused on the hundreds of tiny peices of diamons in front of her, illuminating the dimly lit room. She fingered her necklace unconciously, she wanted those diamonds, and she wasn't about to let anything get in her way.
Not even Robin.
Robin jumped soundlessly onto the floor, just in time to see her jam the diamonds into her tiny hand bag. As if by their own accord, his eyes scanned her up and down, drinking her in. Immediately he remembered the restless night he spent, trying to get his mind to stop thinking about her, to stop thinking about how good she looked in the rain...to stop thinking about how her naked skin would feel beneath his...He tugged at his collar. His clothes suddenly seemed too tight.
This was going to be an interesting night.
Starfire stiffened, feeling someone's warm breath on the curve of her throat
"Who's there?" She asked, the sinking feeling coming back to the pit of her stomach. How could she have forgotten about Robin? She glanced back, fully expecting to see his smirking face, but saw nothing. Her whole body tensed, registering the fact that he was toying with her
"Looking for me?" a voice drawled. She turned back, her eyes resting on him, and she couldn't help admire how relaxed he looked. He was casually leaning against the doorframe, blocking her exit, and judging by his smirk, he'd done this a thousand times before. Starfire glared at him
"Move." she ordered, her hands balling into tight fists. He swept a mock bow
"Gladly. Just..." He nodded at her purse, telling her that he'd take it...whether she gave it to him willingly or not. Starfire took a step back impulsively, her eyes darting towards the nearest window. As if reading her mind, he took a step foward
"Don't even think about it," he warned. She took another step back
"Why?" She asked daringly. He grinned
"Afraid?" Her hand tightened on her purse. He winked at her, and in one swift movement he was gone. She blinked
"What the-" Two firm hands gripped her waist, spinning her around. She forced down a gasp, God, he looks so-
"Afraid?" He murmured, his mouth inches from hers.
"No." Her voice was stronger than she felt. He raised a brow
"You should be." How he did it, she had no idea. But what she did know, was that one minute the diamonds were in her hands...and the next, they were gone. Without even stopping to think, she kicked him in the stomach, watching as he doubled over, coughing and splattering. He had clearly been underestimating her. She allowed herself to feel a twinge of guilt before smirking
"Stainless steel," she taunted, pointing at her heels. She knelt down and picked up her purse, glancing back at him nervously. She had kicked him quite hard, but when he got better, she reminded herself, she'd have hell to pay for. Robin watched as she looked back at him nervously, biting that God dammed lip of hers. Without thinking, he pulled one of her legs foward, pinning Starfire to the ground. Starfire landed on her back, the inital shock of him doing something so spontanious driving out the pain she should have felt. Muffled voices could be heard outside the door, and moments later the the door handle twisted. How loud were we?
"Get off-" She started, but he was already off her, his eyes darting towards the main enterance and his hand outstreatched to help her up. She hesitated and he rolled his eyes, grabbing her arm and hoisting her up. There wasn't enough time to make a run for it, so Robin did the only reasonable thing he could think of-
"This is why I work alone." Robin muttered, pressing Starfire up against the wall, making sure that they'd be completely invisible to passers by. Nobody would find them here anyway, he reminded himself, glancing at the spider webs surrounding them
"And this is a perfect example of why I hate you." Starfire whispered feircely. She was sure a spider had just crawled over her neck
"I just saved you!" Robin burst out incredulously
"Saved me? Saved me?" She hissed "It's because of you that I am now this close to getting caught, you pompous, arrogant-" Before she could finish insulting him, warm lips clamped over her's in a kiss that was hard, firm and stifling. His mouth lingered on her's, exploring and conquering, then, without any warning, he straightened. His mouth curved into a wicked smile
"Are you going to shut up now?" Starfire blinked, her anger temporarily vanishing
"Why did you do that?"
"Because I had to shut you up" It was true, he had kissed her to shut her up, primarily. But he'd also kissed her because he couldn't help it. She had looked so cute when she was insulting him, her green eyes lighting up and her lips pressing tight together. She looked like a angel, an angry angel.
"And...?" She prodded. Robin sighed
"And this way was more-"
"Effective?" Starfire suggested, a skeptical look on her face. Robin grinned
"Enjoyable." Starfire shook her head, glaring at him. Robin really did go above and beyond the call of obnoxious.
"Jerk." Starfire muttered, trying to look over him. Robin ignored her, clamping his mouth shut. Slowly but surely, the police were scattering away, most of them looking relieved. Robin had already released her, she looked up fully expecting to see his arrogant face-
And blinked. He had gone. Her hand reached up to her throat, remembering the spider that had crawled past, and gasped.
He had gone...and he had taken her necklace with him. Her mind racing in a thousand directions, she unconsiously leant back against the wall. Somehow this was all getting more complicated than she thought.
