The love I received from this story really means a lot to me so thank you to everyone who reviewed! This chapter is for you guys!

Disclaimer: I own nothing as usual

It started with just one night a week. You couldn't get attached by staying over one night. One night turned to two nights. Two nights turned to three nights. Three nights turned to five nights and soon he barely slept in his own bed.

"We can stop anytime." He would tell her.

"I know." She would respond as he kissed down her stomach. "Until Robin comes around." She added.

"Until Robin comes around." He agreed.

He could stop anytime. They were only having fun. Something to do when they were lonely, or at least that's what they would tell themselves.

He had always thought Starfire was attractive from a first glance. The bright green eyes, the fiery red hair and toned body. She could smoke anyone out of the water with her beauty. But the closer he got the more beautiful she became. The feel of her soft skin against his. The brush of her fingers in between his shoulder blades. Her soft sighs that escaped her supple lips when he would find the perfect spot. It was no surprise that she was not of this earth, she was a creature made of stardust and galaxies.

"I know we are merely having the fun, but could we not partake in the date?" Starfire asked one morning as Red X put his clothes on.

He froze, his shirt half over his head. A date. Didn't dates mean something? Hadn't he told her he wasn't making good at promises? He pulled his shirt down and ruffled his hair.

"Isn't that a boyfriend and girlfriend kind of thing?" He asked. He had to be careful. He didn't want to end whatever they had, but he wasn't sure if he was ready to go further.

"Raven has informed me that a date can be a pleasant experience at a movie or a dinner where two people have deep conversations to get to know each other better." Starfire said as she started dressing herself.

Red X wrapped his arms around her waist. "I think I know you pretty well." He said as he bit her ear lightly, one of her weaknesses.

She giggled, but pushed him off. "What then, is my favorite color?"

He looked at her for a moment, she was only half dressed, her long legs taunting him. Her arms were crossed over her chest and a smirk graced that lovely face. She was too hot for words sometimes.

"Or my favorite floral item?" She asked in absence of his silence.

He swallowed a lump in his throat.

"Or how about my-"

"Okay, I see your point." He said finally.

She smiled in victory.

"I'll pick you up at eight." He said as he kissed her on her cheek before slipping his mask on. He jumped up on her window seal. "I hope you like Italian."

Starfire hummed happily to herself. This was the best she had felt in the last few weeks. Although the hole in her heart wasn't completely gone from Robin's rejection it wasn't completely empty either. Red X had certainly shown her things that had made her feel wanted and complete. Now he was even willing to be seen out in public with her. She knew what they had agreed to. She didn't even know what her true feelings for the thief were, so a date could not hurt. Like she had told him, they were just getting to know each other better.

She came into the living room where Cyborg and Beast Boy were playing video games. Robin was nowhere to be seen which suited Starfire. Talking to him still caused a tight pain in her chest and she didn't want him to know what she was up to.

"Friends, would you mind accompanying me to the mall of shopping?" She asked.

Cyborg paused the videogame and turned to look at Starfire. "Sure, I've already kicked BB's butt enough to satisfy me for the day."

Beast Boy turned to them, an offended look on his face. "I beat you once!"

"One out of the fifteen games we've played." Cyborg smirked as he turned the game system off.

"What do you need to go to the mall for, Star?" Beast Boy asked as he came around the couch.

Starfire smiled. "I have the sudden need to buy a new dress."

"You look nice." Raven said as Starfire showed off her new dress to her friend.

Starfire had picked out a long sleeved plum dress that ended half way down her thighs and hugged her hips perfectly.

"What is the occasion?" Raven asked with a raised eyebrow noticing that her friend had done her hair as well. It was pulled up into a top bun on her head.

Starfire blushed. "I am going on the date."

Raven dropped the book in her hand and scrambled off the bed.

"It is not with Robin if that is what you're thinking." Starfire said as she rubbed her arm awkwardly.

"Then with who?" Raven asked as Starfire's communicator beeped.

Starfire smiled and left the room without answering. Raven quickly followed her down the hallway as they bypassed all the boys, fighting over what they should make for dinner.

"Starfire?" Robin asked as he noticed how dressed up she was.

Starfire hadn't heard him as she neared the door. Raven reached out and grabbed her friend's hand.

"Starfire, who are you going on a date with?"

Starfire looked around to make sure none of the boys, especially Robin, were around. She grabbed Raven's hands in her own and pulled her friend close.

"I can not tell you right now, but please trust me."

She smiled before she flew out of the tower. Raven watched her friend go before she started for the living room. If Starfire wanted her to trust her then she would.

Red X smiled as he saw Starfire flying towards him. He wasn't used to seeing her in normal clothing and he decided he liked it a lot more than her hero uniform. This dress showed off this curves he knew so well.

"Excuse me, I'm looking for this gorgeous girl to take out on the best date of her life." He said as he pulled out a rose and handed it to her.

She smiled widely and thanked him for it. "Robin has never let me ride on his bike before." She said as she examined his.

"Robin's loss." Red X said as he motioned her to climb on.

Starfire's smile only got wider as she climbed on behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist.

"Hang on tight cutie."

Red X didn't do dates. He was never good at them, seeing as he had only been on one in his life. He lived more to have flings and casual sex with any attractive girl he could find. So to say he had been slightly nervous was an understatement. To his great surprise Starfire made everything easy and relaxed.

He found himself laughing at the thing she said and listening intently when she told him about her family and her home planet. He thought he couldn't be more amazed with the girl in front of him, but he realized he had been wrong.

He could see the end coming. She was going to be his undoing.

They had been the last to leave the restaurant and even though the hour was late, they didn't want the night to end.

"If you want, can show you a great spot to watch the stars."

"Please!"

Her arms wrapped around his waist had already begun the feel familiar and comfortable.

And if you like midnight driving with the windows down

"It's just outside the city, where there aren't may lights." He said over the rush of wind.

And if you like going places we can't even pronounce

Red X pulled into a giant grass field off of the side of the road. He pulled a blanket from the storage compartment and together they walked, hand and hand, to the middle of the field. He laid the blanket down and they both lay down on their backs.

"This is glorious!" She exclaimed as the stars twinkled brightly over them.

He turned to look at her. The wonder and joy on her face made his heart soar. He silently cursed himself. This wasn't supposed to be happening. He wasn't suppose to need her or care for her or even begin to fall for her…

"Starfire?"

She turned to look at him. For some reason her heart was beating fast. She knew she shouldn't be feeling like this towards him. They had made it clear what they were and that it would never be anything more than that.

"Yes?"

He rubbed his thumb gently over her cheek.

"Don't wait until Robin comes around."

If you like to do whatever you've been dreaming about

She blinked back tears as she placed a hand over his.

"I could not if I tried."

Red X kissed her. He pulled her closer to him and kissed her like his life deepened on it. He needed her. He was beyond saving at this point. If he was going to fall, then he was going to fall hard.

Baby, you're perfect

I figured I had to use the rest of the chorus, but I think I made it fit nicely :) Still don't know where this is going, but I do have a plan for another chapter. Thank you again for reviewing! It means a lot so keep them coming!
