Lunch.
It's not often that food ties to kill you, but when Starfire cooks it's almost a certainty.
Wiggling boneless limbs flailed wildly, suckers grabbing anything it could as the wustlepus tried to wriggle free of its pot. Even after Robin said he didn't think it was quite done, Starfire reassuring him that the wustlepus was best eaten raw, he still felt a might annoyed when one of those tentacles managed to pick up both him and Starfire, crush them together and wave them around the room.
The other Titans just watched and laughed.
Top.
Robin gulped.
Starfire had worn her new top.
It was a tiny little thing that tied in the middle. It was white.
He had a soda in his hand and when he turned around, he didn't realize she was at his elbow waiting to ask a question.
"Woooooo! Wet tee shirt contest!" Beast Boy exclaimed. "Raven, your turn!"
Slang.
Robin was sitting on the couch, reading the day's news and minding his own business.
Starfire sidled up to him with a pleased and self-satisfied beam on her face.
He raised his eyebrows and looked up at her. She was practically bursting with excitement.
"What's up?" he asked.
She clapped her hands and contained a squeal.
"I have learned the slang!"
"Oh?" he said hesitantly.
"Yes! Please do the tapping of this because I am the turned on!"
"What?" Robin choked out.
"I have the heat if you bring the meat!"
Starfire was delighted at her new-found knowledge.
"Why is your face red? Would riding my va-jay-jay help?" Starfire looked pleased as punch.
Robin's eyes couldn't get any wider and he could hear an uproar of laughter down the hall.
"CYBORG!"
Digging.
First days of summer.
Starfire thought it was the best part of the year. The ground was soft and perfect for digging, flowers began to bloom, bees buzzed through the air. She had a little flower garden at the base of the Tower, protected from the elements within a little glass house. Lots of flowers in pots and nestled in beds.
Beast Boy kept a vegetable garden down there as well, being vegetarian he did like to have his veggies as fresh as possible and clear of the "junk those companies spray". Often throughout the year Starfire and Beast Boy would find themselves working side by side in their little garden.
Beast Boy saw summer as an excuse to dig. He'd turn into a gopher and tunnel through their garden beds, churning up the soil. Starfire thought it was funny every time he would pop out of the soil to check his bearing, then tunnel back down, his cute little furry legs wriggling. Dirt would fly out of the holes he created and Starfire would laugh and protect her face with her hands.
Cyborg had built them a wooden potting table. It was old and the legs were uneven although Starfire thought that was more because Beast Boy sharpened his teeth on it than Cyborg's handiwork. Starfire pondered her little seed packets, setting them out in various patterns on the table as she tried to determine which flowers she wanted to grow this year. Behind her Beast Boy scurried around his vegetable patch, preparing the ground.
Making her selection, she walked over to her side of the bed and knelt in the dirt. She carefully read the instructions on the back of the packet.
"Hey Star, whatcha doing?" Robin asked.
Starfire looked over her shoulder, smiling at him. "Preparing to plant my flowers for this year. Perhaps you would like to help?"
Robin grimaced. "I'm not really much of a green thumb." Starfire giggled and Robin shook his head, chuckling. "You know what I mean!"
Starfire patted the patch of empty soil beside her. "Come learn."
Robin sighed and sat down in the dirt beside her. "So, what are you planting?"
"Marigolds," Starfire replied. "I love their bright colors. Plus, they keep the insects away from Beast Boy's vegetables. " Starfire handed Robin a seed packet. "Just dig your 'non-green' thumb into the soil and place a seed in, then cover it up."
Robin stuck his thumb into the prepared soil, creating a little hole, then tore open the seed packet Starfire had give him. "Like this?" he asked, putting a couple of seeds into the dirt.
"Perfect," Starfire said, smiling at him and turning back to her planting. "Keep the holes the hand-span apart."
"Okay."
They worked in silence for a while.
"Hey, I was wondering," Robin said after a while. "Did you want to catch a movie or…. Yeouch!" He sprung from the ground, seeds flying everywhere as he swiveled. "Something bit me!"
Starfire shot straight off the ground, concerned. "What?"
Beast Boy popped his gopher head out of the whole underneath where Robin had sat, grinning madly, although the grin died when he spotted Robin holding his behind. He morphed back to normal. "Oh, shit."
"Beast Boy?" Robin cried. "What the hell!"
"Sorry dude! I thought you were Starfire!"
"You were going to bite Starfire on the butt? Beast Boy! Get back here!"
Yay I finally updated again! Sorry everyone, but I'm coming off an unintentional eight day stretch at work which is why I've been absent. Thank you for being patient.
No requests this time because Kry and I haven't had time to think about any. She's been working diligently on Masks (would you prefer requests or updates on Masks? Because I know what I pick, haha) and in what little spare time I have I've been taking a look at One Thing. Yes, it's still alive, I swear! Don't worry though, we will be getting to requests that have been made next post.
Anyway, enjoy.
