Takes place after TT: Trouble in Tokyo!
Jealous! Jealous! Jealous!
Starfire was feeling kinda lonely, she didn't have anything to do now, there was no evil to fight, no trouble, no mission, nothing. So the only thing she could do now, was spend some time with her friends, she tried to talk with Raven first, Star knocked on the door till her friend opened it, though just barely.
"What?"
"Would you like to go out on that depressing cafe you like?"
"Thanks, but no"
"Maybe we could read some dark poems?"
"No. I need to meditate"
"Maybe we could meditate together?" Since both of them changed bodies, once in a while they spend some time together maditating or even going to the mall.
"No"
Was Raven final answer before she closed the door again. Starfire sighed and tried to search for Cyborg and BB, they might make some company for her, right?
"May I join you in your game?" She asked the 2 friends there were playing like crazy, they were so vicious that they didn't even heard her. She tried again. "Friends? Are you listening to me?"
"Yeah, yeah, what do you want?" They asked not in a rude way, but they were just too busy playing the video game.
"May I join you on your game?"
"Maybe another time, we kind of trying to get a new record, higher than Robin's one!"
"I see..."
She got out of the leaving room floating, she started to search for her boyfriend, she knew it was going to take some time to beat his last record, he told her the last time they went on a date that it was very high and it probably would take some time for Cy and BB take it down. Starfire found him at the training room.
"Robin, do you want to spend some time with me?" She asked already almost giving up since all of her friends couldn't do it.
"I'd love to" She smiled with hope, until... "But I got to train more, yesterday I had to skip training to date you, so today I have to train more..."
"I understand..." After all, they were heroes, even if they're something more for a few moments, they still need to save the day...
Once again she got out of the room with sad sight and now headed to her room, trying to play with silky. The time passed by, she was still playing with silky, until someone knock on her door. "Come in" she said, the door opened revealing Robin. She was laid on the floor to stay in a similar height as silky, he sat next her and asked
"Mind if I sit here?"
"Not at all" She said sitting up to stay in his height now. Finally she'd get the time she wanted with one of her friends, actually, her boyfriend, that was even better.
"So..."
"Yes?" She got closer, he did the same.
"I was wondering if you want to spend some time with me, you know what I mean..."
"Yes I know"
With her words, they began to close their eyes, slowly getting closer and closer, when they were just few centimeters away from kiss, the alarm went on. Robin mentally cursed the villain that was attacking now for destroying one of the few moments they could spend together. Turning on his 'leader mode' he ran to the living room, being followed by Starfire, flying right behind. They discovered that Cinderblock was stroking again in town (somewhere like the place they fought at the beginning of chapter "Haunted").
As heroes, they ran to save the day once again. Raven throw rocks on him with her mind as Starfire shot her starbolts, defending himself, Cinderblock throw some rocks back at the girls, BB turned into a dinosaur and tried to attack the enemy, he failed, Cyborg and Robin attacked at the same time, the first with his sonic blast and the second throwing some of his exploding disc thing. Though it wasn't enough, Cinderblock was strong and persistent.
The Titans tried once again, Star and Cy tried with their own fists, attacking directly, he thrown Cyborg far away and with a rock in his hands he attacked Starfire, Robin yelled her name, but before he could act saving her, some blue starbolts* coming from the sky destroyed the rock on his hands, and more starbolts pushed him away.
Raven took it as a chance to throw more rocks on him, and then BB attacked once again, this time like a gorilla. Meanwhile, the one who saved Star flew to her and helped her stand up and fly, both attacked with green and blue starbolts towards Cinderblock, Cyborg got him and with Raven's help, they managed to capture Cinderblock.
Starfire turned to the one who saved her with his blue starbolts, and hugged him tightly, He did the same. There was no sign of someone being crashed into its bone like it would happen with most people Starfire would hug like that. The boy bring hugged was taller than her, blond and blue eyes just like the sky, he was talking to her in a different language, she answered back. Robin raised an eyebrow, wondering if they knew each other before. Suddenly, the blond boy kissed Starfire, his Star. His jaw dropped to the floor. He was not the only one surprised with it.
After the trip to Tokyo, Robin knew that Tamaranian people could learn any language instantanly through lips contact, but when they started dating, he told her not to do it until it was extremely necessary, after all, it does mean something more to earthlings…
"Would that be the correct language?" The blond boy asked Starfire, she nodded feeling a little embarrassed for doing the exchange of information right in front of her boyfriend. He smiled and continued "I missed you, Kori"
"I missed you too!" She pushed him next her friends and introduced the boy "Friends, I want you to meet my tamarenian best friend, Cyand'r or in English, Bluefire"
"Please call me just Fyre, it's easier or Cyan if you will"
"Nice to meet you little man, I'm Cyborg"
"And I'm Beastboy"
"Raven" she said her name in her monotone voice
"I'm Robin" He said in an irritated way, jealous running trough his veins.
"What brings you to Earth, Cyan?" Star asked in her sweet way "I never thought you could actually take a war without my assistance"
"Well, of course it was difficult without you, but I could do it very well. Anyway, I heard from Galfore you were in a planet called Earth, so I got here to see you again. It's been like forever since the last time"
"I do agree with you, friend! Come, I shall show you the wonderful things in this planet, like pizza and mustard!"
She said grabbing his arm and flying towards the pizzeria, the titans followed them. Robin was the last one, and seemed really pissed off. They sat on a big circled table and ordered some pizzas, Starfire was explaining some earthlings things for her friend, with a little assistance of Cy and BB, it was kinda funny see her explaining those things, usually she was the one asking it. Raven turned to Robin and whispered
"You're jealous"
"No, I'm not" He whispered back
"You know as much as I that I'm right. Besides, I can sense things, you're completely jealous"
"Ok, I am. So what?"
"You shouldn't be, Star really likes you"
He went silence, looking at her girlfriend, deep inside, he knew he could trust her, he knew she loved him as much as he did, but he couldn't help feeling jealous.
They all ate the pizza and got back to the tower, a very happy Starfire showed him everything in her home, he listened carefully and seemed curious. They end the tour and met everyone at the living room, Cy and BB were playing games, Raven reading a book and Robin was sulking.
"Man" Cyborg started pausing the game "I bet you're tired from your trip from Tamaran to Earth, if you want I can set this sofa for you sleep"
"It's not needed friend Cyborg, he'll sleep in my room" Starfire said, hearing eat, Robin fell from the chair he was seated "Are you injured Robin?"
"He's not going to sleep in your room, Star!" He yelled getting up
"Why not?"
"He just can't!"
"Robin, that's no problem, we did it lots of time when he were young"
"But it's different…"
"No need to worry, Robin, we'll be fine, I'll just need a mattress, some pillows and we'll be just fine"
"But… but… but… but…" Robin started like a broken disc, she looked worried at him wondering if he was alright, Cy and BB tried to contain their laughs, but it was almost impossible since they knew why Robin was acting like that.
"Robin, are you alright?" She asked, he just continued saying the same word, unable to do anything else.
"He'll be fine, Star, let's get the mattress, ok?" Cyborg said pushing the 2 Tamaranians away, BB waved his hands in front of his jealousy leader laughing harder and harder, that is until his leader almost squeezed BB's neck.
The next day…
"Since we have a special guest, I should make a special breakfast" Cyborg said heading to the kitchen "What do you guys want to eat?"
"Tofu!"
"I'm not making tofu for you BB"
"Eggs" said Raven sitting at the table, reading the same book as before.
"Could you make that waffles and put some mustard for us, please?"
"Of course Star, I'll do it right away, he probably want to taste the waffles, right?"
"Yeah, Star told me about it last night, may I see how it is made?"
"Sure!"
Starfire watched happily her friends for some moments, until she noticed that was someone missing, Robin. She looked around searching for him, he was set at the couch, looking at the view. She flew to him and set by his side.
"Robin, is everything ok?"
"Yeah"
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah"
"Then why you keep doing that?"
"Doing what?" He asked turning to look at her, till now he was staring just at the view
"This thing, like you're mad or something…"
"I'm not mad"
"Are you with… the jealous?"
"Me? Jealous? No, of course not" She raised an eyebrow, knowing he was lying to her
"Please do not lie to me, Robin"
"Ok, I admit it, I'm jealous, happy now?"
"No… Robin, you don't need to feel the jealous, he is just my friend, like Cyborg or Beastboy, and you don't feel the jealous with them"
"It's different… I know them, but I don't know Fyre… Cyan… whatever…"
"So?"
"You 2 seems like you're connected somehow, I mean, when we were fighting Cinderblock you both attacked in perfect harmony, your starbolts hit him in perfect timing and things like that…"
"It's just because we both train together since we were very small, we know each other since we were babies, in Tamaran we have to be always careful, our primary enemy, the Gordanians, don't waist time to attack us, so since we're little we have to learn how to fight, and sometimes, you just can't do it on your own, so you get a partner. Cyan is mine since we met. That's why we fight so well together. Were you jealous just about it?"
"No… Actually, the worst thing was that you both slept in the same room…" He said almost getting a little blushed, thinking how he wanted to be in there… she laughed.
"Robin, he's like my brother, we're used to do it lots of times back at Tamaran. I think you might be over doing it, but since you're so jealous like that, you may sleep with us tonight"
Now he was really red.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, why not?"
"Kori, you were right about the waffles with mustard!" Cyan said as he seated between Star and Robin, making the second one frown his eyebrows.
"I told you! This mustard makes everything get a better taste"
"Dude, you guys are crazy, mustard is not that good" BB said wile sitting next Star.
"Of course it is!" Both of the Tamaranians yelled at the same time, laughing when noticed they did it together. "Let's play something, friends!" Starfire yelled exited
"Like what?" BB asked
"What about volleyball on the roof?" Cyborg said getting a volley ball.
"Sounds good, what about the teams?" Robin asked, now they were 5 to play, since Raven didn't play it, one team would have 3 while he other would get just 2.
"Maybe Tamaranians against Earthlings?" Cyan suggested
"Sounds good enough" Everyone said, except Robin, who hopped in stay at her girlfriends' team.
After an hour or so, they end it up in a tie, since no one could win, when Earth made a point, Tamaran did another, and so there was no winner. So they started to play cards (the same of the beginning of the ep 'winner take all'), and this time even Raven was playing. Robin was feeling confident, since anyone could beat him at this game, apart from Cyborg once or twice.
"Ice freezes water" Raven said over the last BB's card.
"But sun melts ice" Was Cyborg's turn.
"A thunderstorm blocks the sun?" Asked Starfire, she still didn't really understand the game.
"Sorry Star, but Tornado beats it" Said her boyfriend throwing the Tornado card at the table
"It's your turn dude" said BB, Cyan was the last one to play "Just throw your last card on the table if you thing it can beat a tornado"
"But how would I know if this card can beat a tornado?"
"Just throw it" said Raven wanting to get over with it already. Robin was still confident.
"Ok" Cyan replayed and let the card fall up to the others at the table. It was the Meteor, the best card, the one Cyborg used to beat Robin once "So, is it good?"
"It's more than good, it is great! You're victorious!" Yelled Starfire from excitement, hugging her tamaranian friend. Robin sighed, depressed. "Come friend, I shall show you more wonderful things in this planet!"
And so she grabbed his arm and flew away, before Robin could have the chance of saying 'Take me with you', he really wanted to spend some time with his girlfriend, but how could he do this when she was with Cyan? Cyborg and Beastboy tried once again beat Robin's last record in the video game, wile he was at the end of the couch, sulking in jealous.
"Dude, is he ok?" BB asked Cyborg poking his leader, who had no reaction back.
"I think he's just bored without her…" Cyborg was cut off by Raven
"Don't say it, he might get worst"
"Is it possible?" BB asked Raven
"Probably"
"Man, get up and do something, what don't you train a little?" Cy suggested
"Don't want" The leader replied in a monotone voice, even worst than Raven's.
"Why don't you play games with Cyborg and I?" BB tried also.
"Don't want" They looked at Raven pleading for help with their eyes
"Why don't you meditate with me?" She asked
"Don't want" He just continued to say the same thing, his friends were about to try one more time, but Robin cut them before they could do it "Look, I appreciate what you're trying to do, but I just need some time alone…" He stood up and walked away.
It was already sunset, he decided to go up to the roof, watch the sun goes down, he usually do it with his girlfriend, but she was out now, so maybe there he could at least see when she'll be coming back. But when he was about to open the door to the roof, he discovered that someone was already there, it was Star and Cyan, watching the sun slowly hides behind the view. It was just too much for Robin to take, now he was really jealous and envious, but he didn't turn back, he stayed to see what was going to happen, he still was a curious boy…
"You're right Star, this planet is full of amazing and wonderful things"
"Yes, I really do like living here!"
"But you never get homesick? I mean, don't you miss Tamaran, Galfore, your family, or me?"
"Of course I do"
"So let's get back to Tamaran, things can return of what they were before!" He said grabbing Star's hand, she freed her hands from his grip and slowly shook her head
"No, Cyan… I don't want to go back to Tamaran, Earth is where I belong now" Hope slowly started to fill Robin's little heart as he heard her words
"But you're our princess!"
"I know, but here is where I belong, I like here, my friends… If someday Tamaran needs me like in war with the Gordanians or something like that, I'll go back and help my people, but I really want to stay on Earth as much as I can"
"It is that earthen boy? The one with the spiky hair?"
"What do you mean?"
"I noticed you like him, and he likes you back"
"Yes… in fact, he is my boyfriend"
"He does not deserve you, Kori. You deserve something better, you're going to be the queen of Tamaran!"
"I don't care, I like him, isn't it enough?"
"No. I don't think so"
"You're wrong" She said standing up "I don't need to be the ruler of Tamaran, I can stay here if I want to" He got up also
"And who will do it when Galfore is gone? With you in here and Blackfire expelled from Tamaran, who will do it?"
"My brother" She said getting really sad of how far this conversation was going.
"Kori, I don't want to fight, ok? I was just hopping I could take you back to our planet. I really miss you"
"Me too, but you have to understand, my heart is now on Earth, that's nothing you can do about it"
"I understand, even though it hurts"
"I'm sorry"
"It's alright… I think… Let's get inside"
"Yes"
Robin quickly got out of there, he didn't want to be noticed, he didn't want Starfire knows he was kinda spying on her. But anyway, he was glad to know that despite everything, she still wanted to stay on Earth, with her friends, with him.
Back at the living room, everyone started to play another game, domino. Everyone had their pieces and sat in a circle around the table.
"So, who starts?" Cyan asked
"The one with the double six" BB answered next him
"Double six… you mean the piece that has six in both sides?"
"Yep"
"So I get it" He said grabbing the domino piece and putting in the middle of the table "So what is the point of it, and who is next?"
"I'm next" said BB putting a piece with six and four next the other one on the table. Raven, next BB put a six/two piece next the first one with her mind. It was Cyborg's turn, he grabbed one piece but before he could place it on the table the alarm went on.
"What is this?" Cyan asked
"Trouble" Answered Starfire getting up with everyone, he stayed at the same place, not knowing what to do "Don't you want to come, friend?" She asked noticing it.
"Sure" He responds flying after them.
Dr. Light was once again trying to power up his suit, getting the electricity of the town to do so. Just then the Teen Titans arrived to save the day.
"You Titans won't stop me this time" Saying it he started to shoot at them trough his suit's power.
"Titans, g-"Robin was about to yell, but Starfire stopped him
"Wait, I want to show you friends what Cyan and I are capable to do"
"If you insist" He said, Star smiled and turned to Cyan
"Let's go" She commanded lighting up her eyes, getting ready to battle.
"As you wish" He lighten up his eyes too, and followed her.
Their battle tactics were well planed, first she distracted Dr. Light and then he attacked back, then they changed places suddenly, so the enemy wouldn't know what they were going to do next. They were fast and agile, diverting easily from the attacks of Dr. Light. BB and Cy got popcorn from no where and started eating like they were watching an action movie, even Robin and Raven joined them. In just a few minutes they got and arrested Dr. Light.
"Dude, you two made a really good work!" Yelled Beastboy hugging them both
"It was not a big deal, it was just one of them" replayed Cyan
"Don't be so modest, it was great!" Cyborg said hugging them also "I think you could join the team! It would be awesome!"
Robin fainted when heard it, quickly recovering himself standing up with his jaw srill dropped. He wanted to exclaim "What?! No way!" but he didn't say it, in fact he just sighed.
"I appreciate the offer, friends, but I fear I can't do it…"
"Why not?" asked BB and Cy at the same time.
"I don't belong here, I belong in Tamaran. I'm sorry… But I'll be back, once in a while, or if you need me."
"In this case, when you need help, you can call us too" Cyborg said getting a communicator and giving it to Cyan "When you need us or miss Star, you can call us with it"
"Thank you"
"So, let's get back to the Tower, maybe we could order pizza!" Said Beastboy
"Could we get mustard for it too?" Cyan asked
"Why not?" Began Cyborg, the 3 boys started to walk away, Raven followed them right behind, Robin and Star stayed behind.
"So, Robin, you're not mad at me, are you?"
"Why would I be mad at you, Star?" He asked grabbing her hand, slowly following the others.
"I'm not sure, but you seemed most upset when Cyborg asked if Cyan wanted to be part of the team…"
"Of course I was, I don't know if I could handle sharing your attention with him"
"Robin, you know something, you're a very possessive boyfriend"
"I know…" He rolled his eyes under the mask, rubbing his neck.
"But I like it"
She said pushing him gently and pressing her lips against him in a soft and passionate kiss.
"What kind of information they're exchanging?" They broke the kiss part hearing Cyan asking it, Robin frowned at him, and they thought they were all alone, how wrong they were…
"It's not information exchange, we're not like you tamaranians" BB explained
"It's a kiss, it is a human way to show you like someone" Cyborg continued to explain
"Wow" Said an amazed Cyan, it was very different for him. "So when I got here and made lip contact with Star to learn English, Robin must has been jealous, right?"
"Yeah I was…" He said still angry with the interruption.
"But don't worry, Kori and I already did it lots of times even before she knows you, though it was just to exchange knowledge"
"Cyan, it's not helping!" Star said looking at a very mad and jelousy Robin now.
"Sorry…"
Cyan said rubbing his neck looking away, being stared at a very angry couple. Back at the tower, they ate pizza (with mustard for the tamaranians) and went sleep, Starfire asked if Robin still wanted to sleep on her room to keep an eye on Cyan, but instead, he just told her he trust her enough, but if she needs him, he'd be just next door.
In 3 days, Cyan had to get back to Tamaran, he wanted to stay for a little longer, but Earth was just too different for him, he wanted to go back to his home. They were all at the roof, saying good bye to their new tamaranian friend.
"I'll really miss you, and I promise I'll be back soon!"
"That would be wonderful! We can play games and everything, it will be great!" BB said
"Yeah, I hope you can beat Robin on that card game, he won too many times already!"
"It was just beginner's luck" Robin said in his own defense "Anyway, it was nice to meet you" They shake hands, Star told Cyan it was a good sign of friendship.
"And it was nice to meet you too, Raven" He said hugging her, she separate from him
"It was nice to meet you too, but please don't hug me, you and Starfire will break my bones some day…"
"Sorry about that…" Cyan apologized "Princess Koriand'r, I still hope you change your mind about what we talked about"
"I also hope to see you soon, but not in war conditions" She said, knowing with the communicator, he could ask for her help if something happens in Tamaran, and so could she ask for his help with she needed.
"I do hope so"
"Wait a minute, what did you just called Star?" BB asked
"Princess?"
"No, after that"
"Koriand'r?"
"Yeah, that's it! What is it?"
"It's my tamaranian name, friend Beastboy"
"Oh… Right, now it makes sense…" He said embarrassed.
"Anyway, it's better if I go now, it's a long way till gets home"
"Travel well my dearest friend!" Star said as she hugged him very tightly
"I will, princess" He hugged back. When they separated, he turned to the leader of the team and whispered so anyone could hear "Take care of her"
"Don't worry, I already do it" Robin whispered back
"And if you ever broke Kori's heart, I swear you'll regret being born" He mumbled again
"Is that a threat?"
"Obviously" He whispered finally, he stepped back to the edge of the tower's roof and said for everyone "See you next time" and flew high and fast out of the atmosphere. Everyone entered, except for Star and Robin.
"So… I bet you already miss him, right?"
"A little" She said "He always been a good friend, but he can be really stubborn, don't you think?"
"Yeah…" He agreed "And Star, I'm sorry to say that, but I need to be honest, I heard when you two were talking here at the roof the other day, I mean, when you almost fought…"
"I see… I thought no one heard it…"
"I'm sorry… But I'm happy you want to stay so much with us… and with me"
She smiled, she knew he had done something wrong by hearing their conversation, but it's truth she wanted to stay with him, on Earth. She got closer and kissed him again, this time, finally without any interruptions. Though they still weren't alone, 2 pairs of eyes were watching them, hidden somewhwere on the roof.
"Watch out BB, don't let them see you with that camera!"
"If you shut up, Cy, I can take the picture without them noticing it!"
THE END
* I know that, in fact, just Starfire, Blackfire and her brother, Ryand'r, shot starbolts, but the animated series is different, so pretend all of Tamaranians shot the starbolts…
Well, that's it, I'm not sure it was a good one-shot, but I wanted to make Robin jelous with one of Star's tamaranian friend that I've created. Hope everyone liked it at least a little bit, and leave a review for me!
I was thinking in writing a one-shot that is Starfire's turn to be jealous, maybe Batgirl would appear at Titans house, though I'm not sure about it, so I ask for the ones that liked it and want to see Starfire jelous, to tell me what you think about it!
