Chapter 3 A Somewhat Peacful Valentines
(I DO NOT OWN TEEN TITANS!)
Starfire burst into the room ten times more giddy than the normal day. "Finally! It is here again! The day of the Valentines!"
"Great," Raven mumbled as books floated and rotated in front of her, "I feel sick already."
"Robin!" Starfire said bouncing happily over to her boyfriend, "shall we go somewhere together on this most glorious day of the showing of the affections?"
"Uh, sorry Star," Robin said as he wandered to the door. "I've got plans."
"Oh," Starfire said, looking dejectedly at the ground. Knowing Star however, it didn't last long. Starfire glanced around, locating Raven and Beast Boy.
"Raven, Beast Boy, will you then spend-" Raven glanced up at her with a nuh-uh-don't even look.
Beast Boy whistled, pretending he had been to busy with the game console to notice she had said anything.
"Oh nevermind. Where are the Kid Flash and Jinx?" Starfire asked.
"On the roof," Raven replied.
-Titans Tower Roof-
Jinx was sitting on the edge with Kid Flash. She had her head on his shoulder with a rose in one hand and a card hidden in the other. He had his arm rapped around her as they stared at the rising sun.
"So peaceful, don't you think?" Kid Flash said.
"Eh, it's okay," Jinx said.
"Something wrong?"
"I t's just…I can't believe I did that," Jinx said, staring guiltily at the ground. "I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault, Slow-poke. You were under Slade's control," Kid Flash said placing his hands comfortingly on her arms.
"It doesn't change what I did! I'm supposed to be the good guy! I robbed a jewelry store! It just HAD to be that one!" Jinx yelled.
"It's okay," Kid Flash said, "besides that's the second time i've kissed you in front of the same shop." He busted out his cheesy grin. "Anything else wrong?"
"No?" She waited a few moments, gathering the courage to give the card to him. "I have something for you!" she finally said.
"You do?" He looked at her a little surprised. He'd always given her stuff, not the other way around.
She handed him the valentine, quickly turning away.
"A valentine? For me?"
"Duh," she said. She knew she was blushing as she turned away. "If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be handing it to you."
He laughed and she smiled to herself.
"See?" He said, "I knew you'd give me one eventually."
"Don't get so full of yourself just because you're-" She was cut off mid sentence. He had grabbed her chin a pulled her into a kiss. She comfortable wrapped her arms around his neck allowing herself to be pulled in deeper.
"Special to me," she finished. "That was payback wasn't it?" She asked.
"You mean for when I got hexxed for trying to bring you back to the good side?"
Jinx rolled her eyes and smacked him playfully on the shoulder. He laughed and then they were staring in each other's eyes, huge smiles on their faces. It was the perfect moment. Was.
"Friends!" Starfire said, flying up to the roof. "Have you plans on this…..oh," she said awkwardly, "i'm interrupting something aren't I?"
"Just a bit," Kid Flash said, placing his arm back around Jinx. "Need something?"
"Not really, I am fine," she said with a forced smile.
"Starfire, I may have only known you for a short time, and we don't talk much, but it's obvious that's a lie," Jinx said.
Star sunk down next to Jinx in defeat. "I am not fine," she confessed. "Must Robin always be busy on this day for the expression of love? One love to never be expressed by the sharing of the cards or the handing of the flowers is ours."
"Robin is well, Robin," Kid Flash said, "he isn't really the type for these kind of days. He does care about you though, Starfire. Anyone can see that."
"I know," Starfire said staring blankly at the horizon, "but sometimes he seems so...distant."
Jinx patted her shoulder. "Don't let it get you down. When he comes back just show him that big smile. It'll be okay, you'll see."
"Oh, many thanks friends!"Starfire said as she shot of jubillently into the sky.
Jinx and Kid Flash laughed as Kid Flash handed her a rose. She leaned back into Kid Flash and brought the rose to her nose.
-In the Tower-
"Beast Boy just stop it already!" Raven said, obviously agitated.
"Aww, my jokes aren't funny?"
"No," Raven said flatly, "i've told you that before so why do you insist on telling them to me?" Her eye had begun to twitch.
"I wanna make you laugh," he shrugged.
"Why? Why do you try so hard to make me laugh that you annoy me?"
"I, um," Beast Boy said nervously. Raven raised an eyebrow at him."Cuz, uh, I...like you and I-uh, want you to like me back?"
"You like Terra."
"I used to but-" Robin walked into the room. He had something hidden in a bag.
"Anyone seen Star?" Robin asked glancing around the room.
Beast Boy and Raven shrugged. "A while ago," Raven said, "she hasn't been back since."
With that Robin left the room, allowing Beast Boy and Raven to continue their argument.
-Outside the T-tower-
Starfire sighed as she stared at the now setting sun. She had been playing with the rocks, boredly tossing them into the water. She picked another one up in order to throw it, but in the end let it fall back to the ground. "Oh, Robin," she sighed, "where are you? Why do you take so long on this day of lovers?"
"What are you talking about Star? I got back an hour ago. You can be hard to find sometimes."
Robin was standing beind her, something hidden behind his back.
"Robin!" She said excitedly as she half tackled, half hugged him. "I missed you so! Why do you make me wait?"
"I had something to take care of," he said, handing her a boquet of flowers, "but I wasn't sure what to get you, so I got you these." His face had turned the shade of a tomato and and he had begun nervously rubbing the back of his head.
"Thank you, Robin!" she squealed as she smelled her gift, describing it in Tamaranian.
"So," he said with a crooked smile and an outstretched hand, "you..wanna go somewhere?"
She gasped as he grasped her hand, "Oh, Robin! Can we?"
"Of course," Robin said, "I would go anywhere with you. Name where and we'll go. Just the two of us."
They walked together, hand-in-hand, into the sunset.
(A/N: I just love mushy cuteness so I knew I had to add some in there :)
