Just Drabbles
Chapter 9: An Accidental Rendez-vous
Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans. Plain and simple.
I dedicate this chapter to ma soeur xStarfirexRobinxo and Eve Royal...just cause of how Robin is in this chapter. ;)
"Unnngghhh…" Robin groaned as he slumped down the hallway; any adrenaline that he had possessed earlier had been drained from him during his time in the training room. Pushing that new system to level fifteen was such a stupid idea. Robin barely noticed that his aching legs had walked him to his bedroom door until his head smacked into the metal. Summoning a grin, he laid his sweating forehead onto the welcoming cold of his door. Raising a trembling hand that was suffering from a series of muscle spasms, Robin clumsily smacked the security pad only to find that the door refused his command to open. A weak roar of frustration escaped his lips as he tried to open the door once more. The door didn't obey. Sighing, Robin reached up and tapped in the override code. His weak grin returned once more as he fell into the room and stumbled toward his bed, finally falling backwards and landing eagle spread on the mattress. He slipped into the kingdom of Morpheus as soon as his head graced the pillow.
"Ohhh…" Starfire moaned as she floated wearily down the hallway toward her room. Tonight's patrol had been a nightmare; while Raven and Starfire took to the skies surveying the nightlife of Jump City, they had noticed a bank robbery taking place not too far from their place of observation. What the girls didn't expect was their foe to be a professional assailant who easily sent the heroes flying—no pun intended. Starfire rubbed the sore spot just below her ribs. Surely that would be a bruise in the morning. The exhausted Tamaranian's mind was too absorbed in recalling the night's earlier events for she didn't notice her door as she softly bumped into the metal. She looked up and smiled at her nameplate. My chamber of slumber, she thought drowsily. What a glorious sight to behold. Immediately she demon-dialed her way in, her slender fingers gracefully tripping over the keypad. A quiet cry of joy was emitted from her as the door slid open. Starfire flew inside the dark room and rather inelegantly, crashed onto her mattress. As she landed, her body collided with something soft and warm. Figuring it was her pillow; Starfire snuggled in further as she lightly inhaled the attractive scent that was being emanated from her pillow. It was sweaty and had some hints of cologne and was it…coffee? Whatever it was, it certainly reminded Starfire of Robin. Smiling at the thought of her handsome best friend, Starfire snuggled further into her soft, warm pillow.
Mere seconds passed before Starfire shot up in her bed. Since when do my pillows smell of coffee and cologne?! Her mind shrieked. Leaning over, she switched on her bedside lamp. There lay Robin, fast asleep—not to mention shirtless. Starfire screamed out of both shock and embarrassment. Robin bolted upright at the sound of the scream and came face to face with Starfire, her beautiful emerald eyes wide with alarm.
The princess of Tamaran struggled to put words together in a coherent sentence. "R-R-Ro…F-Frien…friend Robin…why are you in my room? In my bed? Only couples do this and we are not a couple! A-and you are without a shirt!" A deep crimson swept across her cheeks and an uncomfortable heat wrapped itself around her body. She quickly hid beneath the covers to
prevent any further staring. "Why is he here?! Without a shirt! No matter how lovely his sculpted, toned form is…I must not look! He is my best friend! Not to mention my leader!"
Starfire heard the soft chuckle that belonged to Robin. Incensed at the fact that he would dare laugh at her embarrassment, she sat up and glared at him, eyes aglow. "You dare think our present situation is amusing Dick?!" That shut the Boy Wonder up. She only called him by that version of his true identity when she was either annoyed or infuriated with him. He quickly fished his shirt that he had thrown on the floor and put it on before turning to his best friend.
He gently placed a hand on her arm. "Star, I'm not laughing at our current situation. Believe me, this is awkward." In a softer voice he continued, "I'm laughing because I love how adorable you look when you blush." A small smile worked its way onto Starfire's face. Deepening is voice to a husky baritone pitch he murmured, "And maybe this doesn't have to be so awkward."
Confused, Starfire began, "What do you mean exact—" She was cut off as Robin's soft lips took over hers. Getting over the shock that came with the fact that the friend you thought would never return your feelings is kissing you; Starfire closed her eyes and kissed him back, wrapping her arms around his neck. The kiss lasted for approximately before they had to regrettably, but necessarily break for air.
Smiling, Robin whispered, "Are we now a couple?" Pressing her fingers to her lips, Starfire nodded. Robin kissed her cheek. "Good." Yawning, he pulled his shirt off and sank back onto the mattress pulling his blushing new girlfriend with him; her head on his chest, his arms wrapped securely around her waist. Together the new couple slipped off, returning once more to the land of Morpheus.
Psh, Robin acts like the awkwardness was never there.
