Title: Strawberry Robin

Titans: Robin and Starfire

Pairings: Suggested RobxStar

Summary: Robin hates strawberries...why?

Inspration: You know how Hollywood couple names have blended couple names? (ex: Mitchemily, Niley, Zanessa, etc.) Well, when I played with the Robin/Starfire pairing, I got Starbin. That sounded like Strawbin. Which reminds me of Strawberry. So show your R/S love and become a Strawberry shipper today!


'I hate strawberries.' Robin thought bitterly. 'But no-o-o. Strawberry has to be everyone else's favorite.'

It was the day before the anniversary of the day the titans became the titans, and their tradition was that every year, Robin would bake a cake since he was the leader. And the others wanted strawberry.

Robin was secretly hoping Raven would at least opt for vanilla or something because she knew that he hated the berry and why he hated it, but the look on her face said that she wanted strawberry for her own reasons. Great.

A voice behind him snapped him out of his own thoughts.

"Robin?"

He turned around to face Starfire.

"Hey Star." She walked over to him with genuine concern on her face. "What?"

"Robin……You look…..unhappy."

"Nah. I'm fine…Really, really fine!" Starfire shook her head.

"No Robin, you are not."

"What makes you say that?" Starfire pointed to his hand and the egg he just crushed and that was now running down his glove.

'Perfect.' He thought. 'Just what I needed.'

"Robin, are you the okay?" Robin sighed; he knew he couldn't lie to the Tamaranian. He sighed again.

"No…..I hate strawberry."

"Why? Why do you hate the berries of straw?" Starfire asked, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Never mind. I shouldn't have mentioned it." She answered with a quiet,

"Oh…..I shall leave you to bake." Starfire turned away and began to walk out of the kitchen area.

"Starfire? Wait…" Starfire looked back at him from the stairs.

"Yes?" Robin exhaled.

"I want to tell you why I never like strawberry." He sat down at the table; Starfire sat across from him.

"……..It was my parents' favorite." Robin said at last.

"Oh Robin….." Starfire had a look of mixed pity, sadness and concern in her voice. "…..I am so sorry." Robin laughed a bit in spite of himself.

"Yeah, well, you can't change what happened then."

"No Robin, you can't." Robin sighed and went off to clean off his glove. "But you can change what will happen." She put a hand on his shoulder.

"You're right. I can." Starfire smiled.

"I'm feeling the happy for you." She put her arms around him in a hug; Robin hugged her back.

Finally, she let go and smiled. "Now if you do the excusing of me, friend Raven and I have a trip to the mall of shopping to do." She stared up the stairs.

"See you later Star." Robin waved.

"The byes of good friend Robin! Enjoy the baking of the berries of straw cake!"

'……….I hate strawberries.'
