Author's Notes: Welcome to another chapter of The Earth and the Sun.

Here, we see a more developed relationship of Star and Terra, though unknown to their team-mates, and the twosome's worries about telling said team-mates.

This one earns the T rating for.......... slightly mature references.

Whatever. Chapter 2, here we go!

"You realise, love Terra, that we must break our friends soon." Starfire murmured softly, the darkness encasing them, though not in a bad way.

"You mean break it to them." Terra sighed, stroking her hand idly up her lover's spine, revelling in both the warmth of the Tamaranean and the comfortable sheets of the alien's bed, in which they were currently buried under.

What better place for love then a simple bed? Terra could think of no other place.

Snuggled warmly with her...... girlfriend, hidden from prying eyes under the pink sheets, gently whispering sweet nothings to each other, coiling their slick, nude bodies together.

It was Heaven on Earth, right in the middle of Hell.

The Heaven was Starfire, the most pure and loving being that the universe had ever seen in its infinite lifespan.

Earth was, well, Earth. Her planet, her home.

Hell was the uncomfortable truth. They would indeed need to let the other Titans know of their relationship. The geomancer was rather surprised that they had managed to hold their relationship, and the secret of it, for a whole month. She had been quite sure Robin or Raven would figure it out.

Starfire, being Starfire, had been optimistic that their secret would be perfectly safe. Terra had been unsure at first, both at the secret and at being with another girl, an alien girl at that, but she had grown more confident in the former, and more devoted to the latter.

But of course, they could only satisfy their more mature needs on a rare basis, such as late night or being left alone in the Tower. Even then, it needed to be played carefully. And Terra hated being oh-so-careful.

"You're right, Star." Terra stated calmly, moving up slightly to be on eye level with her lover. "We do need to tell them. Maybe tomorrow. Question is, how?"

"How do you mean?" Starfire asked, her green eyes quizzical.

"Do we tell them all at once? Or one at a time? I know Beast Boy got the idea that we're just friends, but I'm not sure how he'll handle this."

"I am worried for how Robin will react as well." Starfire murmured. "He, as Cyborg says, wishes to crush me."

"You mean he has a crush on you." Terra explained patiently. "I think we should tell Cyborg first. He's the oldest and most mature, he'll understand. He has no problems with same-sex relations."

"On my planet, same-sex relations are acceptable. Why not so on Earth?" Starfire asked.

"Some people just can't see outside of their little world." Terra muttered, rather not wanting to go into homophobes and that kind of stuff. Starfire shouldn't have to worry about that.

Starfire looked nervous, her hold on Terra tightening ever so slightly, but she nodded.

"So, tomorrow, we tell Cyborg, and lead it on from there." Terra said, gently stroking the alien's cheek to relax her.

"I hope you are right, love Terra." Starfire murmured. "In that our ship of relations can continue sailing."

Terra snickered, as she leaned in and kissed Starfire. "We'll keep sailing no matter what.

Morning came surprisingly fast. Though that may be due to the fact that most of the lover's night had been spent awake and making love.

Terra let out a small yawn as she cradled her coffee, ignoring the Boy Wonder, whom was trying to beat his single-player score on Super Robot Mayhem.

The geomancer was waiting for two things.

The first, the best thing of her life.

The second, the friendly guy who could help them.

First, though, the blonde had to wake up. Hence the coffee.

Soon, Raven walked in, talking with a cheerful Starfire (Tamaranean's didn't need that much sleep, apparently). Seeing Terra, Starfire skipped off to the table and sat next to her, begging Raven to make her a mustard-mushroom-tofu sandwich. (Raven probably threw up at that) Terra had long gotten used to her girlfriends eating habits, even developing a love for the alien delicacy known as Glorrk, which tasted like sushi mixed with ice-cream. Delicious.

Terra sighed to herself as the coffee invigorated her, waiting for Cyborg to get up. Starfire seemed to be nervous about that as well, jumping in her seat ever so slightly. Raven cast her a curious glance, but shrugged it off and set the weird sandwich in front of the alien, which was promptly devoured rather brutally.

Terra raised an eyebrow at her lover's rather distasteful eating habits (Not that the geomancer minded- She thought it was kinda cute), when the door opened and Beast Boy and Cyborg walked in, arguing about meat v veg. As usual.

Starfire slowly arched her own brows at the cyborg's appearance, to which Terra nodded.

Terra promptly exited the room by demanding the toilet, leaving it to Starfire to get Cyborg out on his own, then the geomancer would rejoin them. She quickly entered the bath-room (She did actually need to go) and waited.

Sure enough, she soon heard the cheerful chattering of Starfire down the hall, followed by the calm of Cyborg. Terra stealthily exited the bath-room and set off in the direction of the voices.

Turning a corner, she spotted Starfire chatting to Cyborg about particle drive physics........ or something. Upon spotting the blonde, Starfire quickly fell deathly silent.

"Star, you alright? Oh, hey Terra." Cyborg said, startled at Starfire's sudden silence, as the alien quickly fell in behind the geomancer.

"Cyborg. We need to tell you something." Terra said softly, her eyes locking onto Cyborg's.

"What is it?" Cyborg asked, his tone now serious and slightly worried.

Terra glanced at Starfire, whom nodded nervously, before letting out a small sigh and speaking. "Cyborg........ Starfire and I are.. lesbians."

Author's Notes: You know, I think Cyborg would be the best one to go to about stuff. He is the oldest of them and probably the most mature (When he wants to be, at least) so it's no surprise Star and Terra went to him first. :)

Oh well, a cliff-hanger of sorts, just to annoy you XD
