All for Her

Chapter 2

Watching Movies

It was a rainy Sunday and the other titans had gone out bowling. This left Robin home with Starfire, who had been sitting on the couch for most of afternoon. She had been trying to find something on the television. Robin had been in his office for most of the day and had only come out to grab some food. Starfire looked to the office door and pouted. She had dug through the collection of movies that had piled up in one of the storage rooms. When she had reached the bottom of one pile, she let out a small squeal and hugged the tape in her arms.

There was a knock on the door to Robin's office. When the Boy Wonder opened the door, he saw Starfire looking at him with big eyes and a video in her arms.

"Robin, it is a rainy day and our friends are out doing the bowling…I was hoping that maybe you and I could watch a movie." She gave him a small pout and showed him the video.

Robin looked down at the video in his hands. 'Beauty and the Beast' he thought to himself as he remembered the old Disney classic. He had not seen this one in years and knew that Starfire had never seen it, but from the cover she could guess it was a love story. With one last glance to his desk which was only covered with doodles and a few last notes on Slade, he emerged from the dark office and into the hallway.

"Sure thing Star. Let me make us some popcorn." He handed her the video with instructions to start it. As he made the popcorn and grabbed them each a cola, he could hear the music from the film start to play.

He smiled as he saw her with eyes glued to the screen. He was sure that if any of his enemies or even his friends saw him right now, they'd laugh. Robin soon took his seat next to Star, who was curled up on the couch waiting for him. He let her rest her head on his shoulder as Belle moved about her village.

About halfway through the film, she could feel herself falling asleep. "Robin?" she asked in a yawn.

"Yeah Star?"

"Will they have their happy ending?" She looked at him with sleepy eyes.

"Yeah Star, they'll have a happy ending." He smiled down at her. 'Just like us.' He wanted to add, he didn't though, for he knew that some things just don't need be said. As she fell asleep, he could swear he heard her say.

"I love you Robin.."

He could go back to his office and sulk about Slade, but he didn't. Robin watched the rest of the film, telling his sleeping angel what was happening as it went on. This was yet another thing he could do to say those three little words.
