Enjoy the Fic
Starfire sat on the roof of the Titans Tower staring over the bay as the night stars glistened and reflected on the water surface. Tears streaks stained her face as she cried a little. The door opened up behind her and footsteps were heard coming her way. She didn't have to turn around to know who it was.
"I said I wanted to be left alone for a while." Starfire stated, her voice cracking as she tried to stop herself from crying.
Beastboy sat quietly beside her. "I just taught you needed some company, considering the major news we received downstairs."
"It is no one's concern. I just need some time to regain myself."
"I respect that Star, but I just don't want you to be by yourself. Especially now. Who knows what can happen to you in this…"
"I don't need protection Beastboy. I am…"
"The brave warrior princess from planet Tamaran, I know but that doesn't mean you can't be hurt once in a while."
She turned to him, preparing a retort, but her resolve quickly broke and she ended up crying into his shoulder. "There we go, let it all out." He said hugging her and stroking her hair. They just sat there enjoying each other's comfort in peaceful silence as Starfire let out her worries.
She stopped crying and just sat there, hugging him. "Now tell me Kori, what's wrong?" He asked, using her real name so she would know he was serious.
"I just was not ready. I liked him. I could even claim that I loved him. Then he suddenly announces that he is dating Raven. It all took me by surprise."
Beastboy smiled "Believe it or not Kori but you're not alone in this."
Starfire looked up at him from her shoulder. "Do you mean?"
"Yeah. I mean no normal human being can get so painfully rejected for a simple joke so many times and still come back. Of course I liked Raven. A lot. But from the very start I knew they were together."
Starfire's eyes widened. "It wasn't hard. I'm not as dumb as you guys probably think I am. I started getting suspicious when they came out every morning at the same time. Then I became even more suspicious when they started going out together once in a while. But all my suspicions were confirmed when I walked by their room and heard them both in Raven's room. They were talking about… well they were…" he made a hand gesturing the both of them.
"They were talking about us." Starfire completed the sentence for him.
"Apparently they had found out that we liked them and were trying to figure out how they would subtly reveal themselves without hurting our feelings too bad." He began to tear up. "Raven even said that me liking her was quote and unquote 'Annoying and childish'."
Starfire felt bad for the changeling. He clearly had it much worse than she ever could. "Oh Garfield." She pulled him into a hard less bone crushing hug.
They sat there cuddling, talking, joking as the sad aura slowly became more cheerful.
Beastboy suddenly stood up. "Well, since we've got our problems settled, why don't we head back in?"
Starfire stood up with him, and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Thank you for this Gar. This talk really helped."
"N…n…no pro…problem." She leaned towards him and planted a soft kiss on his cheek.
Beastboy stood still, his brain struggling to keep up with what just happened.
Starfire giggled and took his hand before dragging him along to the roof door.
Author's note:And here's number 3. I feel as if I am really on a roll with this thing. Sorry if Beastboy or even Starfire feel a little OC, but I just couldn't fit any of their happy go lucky cheerful attitudes into this. It actually turned out much more serious than I expected. I didn't even know I could be this serious!
On another note, if your still reading this stupefying long author's note, I really can't guaranty daily uploads like this for much longer. I probably have all this free time because it is weekend. But today is Monday, and Monday means tests, long lectures, annoying teachers and students, long assemblies, waking up 5 AM and being in school for almost 8 hours, along with other numerous nuisances. Ugh I hate Mondays.
