" Yo Raven Beast Boy any body home?" Cyborg's voice echoed as the three remaining teen titans entered the spacious house. He flicked the light switch off and on realisisng the power was out.
" They're most likely in their rooms or fighting some where like usual." Robin shrugged indifferently.
" No. Friend Raven and Friend Beast Boy are not doing of the fighting. Friend Beast Boy is doing of the messing around and Friend Raven will be doing of the metitating." Starfire clapped her hands. " They will be most joyous after I making of the dinner yes?"
" NO!" Robin and Cyborg yelled at the same time. Starfire's face fell and Robin quickly covered his tracks.
" I mean we're not hungry right now but thanks Star any way. Let's go find B.B. and Raven before we do any thing alright? Cyborg you go look for Beast Boy and Starfire and I will go look for Raven." Robin enjoyed the idea of being alone with Starfire, the crimzon haired, neon green eyes, alien princess from a planet thousands of light years away.
" Alright I'll go find Grass Head." He turned and left a confident smirk on his face. He didn't mind the other's and their constant flings. He liked being alone, this way no one could hurt him like he had once been. He prefered it to be him and his parts. He didn't need a light and had no worries about the dark, he had night vision thanks to the robot eye.
He trailed down the hall to B.B.'s room remembering a girl who had once been very special to him. The girl he had loved before the accident, back when he was fully human.
" Victor!" Chloe called waving her hand in the air. " Victor over here! Over here!" He choclate brown face was full of excitement and her green eyes shone. Her black curl fell around her face and Victor smiled running over to scoop her up in his arms.
" There's my special girl." He spun her in a circle their laughter mingeling together.
" I missed you." She kissed the warm brown skin off his kneck.
" I'm sorry Babe I got a little caught up but I'm here now. What'd ya say we go get somethin' to eat?" He smiled and set her down twinign his fingers through hers.
" Sounds great Vic." She soft brown hair was just long enough for her to run her fingers through which she did, her fingers trailing down his face.
Her lips found his and he closed his eyes thinking it didn't get any more blissfull than this.
" Vicotr." She sighed his name and pulled away her arms still around his neck. A light rain started up and he smiled taking Chloe's hand again. Cyborg tipped his head back and let the rain fall on his face. Chloe smiled and tipped his head back to face her thinking there were better things to do in the rain envolving his mouth. '
Cyborg shook his head as he made it to Grass Head's room and quickly wiped the lone tear from his eye. He couldn't think about Chloe now and just how much he missed her warm arms and soft kisses.
" Yo Green Dip open the door." Cyborg rapped on the door with his knucles. There wasn't an answer so he decided to try the roof thinking that Beast Boy might have gone up there.
He stared the slow walk to the roof decideing he could let his mind slip to Chloe for just a little longer. He rested against the wall tiping his head back and closing his eyes. He took a deep breathe and willed him self to go into the part of his mind he rarely entered.
" Ready... ready... open... and NOW!" Chloe threw the french frie and Victor caught it with percise accuracy in his mouth.
" Okay now it's your turn." Vic picked up a frie. " Catch!" He threw it, she caught it.
They were at a little out of the way diner eating burgers and fries like any other teen age couple. Vitcor Stone was currently seventeen and Chloe Ray was sixteen. They had been together for the past three years and were totally crazy about each other.
" I love this game." Chloe laughed. Vic loved it when she laughed and always tried as hard as he could to make her.
" I love you." Vic said as if it was just that easy, and it was.
" I love you too Victor." Chloe smiled and leaned across the table to kiss him. Their fingers locked together and the whole world melted away. There was only him and her.
They broke away and pressed their forheads together ignoring the fact that they were being watched. He only had eyes for her, it'd been that way sience he'd first seen her. He knew how cheezy that sounded but it was the truth. He loved her more than any thing else, he would do any thing just to make her smile. It didn't take much though, she loved just being around him.
" Come on let's get outta here." Vic shot her a wink.
" Okay." She stood up and he threw her on his back laughing as he ran out the door. He spun her around in the poaring rain both of them laughing and happy. She was squaling in his ear and he smiled and spun faster. His fingers started to slip but he held on even tighetr staring to slow down. He set her down and she stumbled. He caught her and she curled against his chest. Victor bent down and brushed his lips with hers.
" I love you." Her voice was soft against her lips.
" Come on Cy shake this off you gotta find Grass Stain." Cyborg shook his head and started up the stairs to the roof.
" Friend Raven? Hello?" Starfire called illuminated the hall way with her glowing green orbs. (Yes the powers still out and it's around ten thirty.)
" Beast Boy? Raven?" Robin called. " It's gonna be easier to find them with light but we have to go to the basement and turn on the generator, come on Star." Robin started down the hall way. Star's light extinguished and she shrieked and grabbed Robin's hand. " You okay Star?"
" I do not enjoy dark places."
" Don't be scared Star. I'm right here." He squeezed her hand.
" Thank you... Robin." This was the first time she had said only his name without a friend in front of it. Robin was suprised thtat he liked it.
" Okay what ever you do don't let go of my hand." They were on the stairs to the basement.
They took one creaky, dangerous stair at a time. Each time there was a noise she would whimper and move a little closer to Robin. By the time they were at the bottom he had both his arms around her and she was shaking.
" It's alright Star, nothing we haven't handeled before and besides," he smiled. " We can do this together." They made their way through the cludderd base ment carefull not to step on any thing. Starfire manage to controll her self enough to start another orb but it was small and shaky threatining to extiguish at any minute. They made it to the back of the basement and Robin fiddled with the generator for a minute Starfire still wrapped around him.
There was a hum and the generator started up illuminating the room. Robin blinked and rubbed the mask, and through it his eyes. He stood up again and Starfire flexed her stiff fingers. They nervously stood there together sharing a small, nervous, smile.
" Well-"
" I-"
There was an akward silence as they both waited for the other to speak.
" We should probly head back now Star. See if Cyborg found them. Check in on Raven's room." Robin offered her a hand which she gladly took.
They started up the stairs when Starfire tripped and Robin swung her around so she was against the wall. He fell against her, the stairway was thin and Robin knew he'd have troble moving without brushing against Starfire in a few different places.
His face was mere inches from hers and Star's eyes were wide and flushed.
" If you want me to move Star you'd better say it."
She said nothing.
" If you don't want me to do this say stop." He moved his face ever closer.
She didn't speak.
" Star if you don't want me to kiss you-" Starfire gripped the back of his head and crossed the space between their mouths.
" Robin you do not know how long I have wanted to do of the kissing with you. On my planet this means something very different but I like more what it means here. What it means to you." Her fingers were in his hair and her lips never left his even when she spoke.
" Star." He gasped her name, his arms that were already wrapped around her waist, tightened. Robin realised he'd wanted to do this for so long, he hadn't let himself feel this... ever.
He felt her fingers at the edge of his mask and he didn't pull away. If he was going to let any one see his eyes, it was going to be Starfire.
