Yay, new chapter! This one was super fun to write, haha.
Also, did any of you use that recipe from last chapter? If you didn't, go use it now! Those cookies are freaking amazing. Like, seriously. I know there was more I wanted to type here somewhere, but I can't remember. Oh well.
Enjoy!
Robin woke up when he felt the warm sun beat against his face through his one window. He opened his eyes slowly and squinted as he focused his vision. He yawned and stretched slightly, and then cast his eyes down. The first thing he saw was a mane of auburn hair. He then focused on her peacefully sleeping face. He thought she looked absolutely beautiful with the look on her face, and how the sun hit her perfectly. He smiled softly to himself.
Any time before then, he would have been blushing like mad and quickly waking her up to have her go back to her room before anyone caught them. He would become a blubbering idiot and wouldn't dare look her in the eye. Something had changed, though. He didn't know how, but it had. Perhaps it was because he invited her to stay with him. Perhaps it was because of their activities the night before. He had to admit that he felt a little more comfortable with these situations already because of last night. He smiled at the thought.
The girl on top of him sighed softly. He began to rub her back, though gently so she would not wake up. He sighed and closed his eyes, his thoughts now going to what they would do for the day. He wanted to take her out again, though not as fancy as before. He wanted it to be casual, like a trip to the carnival; just something for them to spend some quality time together as well as have fun. Also, this way the others could go to; the carnival was quite big, so it was not like they wouldn't get their alone time.
He craned his head to look at the clock on his bed stand, on his right. It was already 10 AM, but strangely he didn't care. He chuckled to himself; what was this girl doing to him? His chuckled made the Tamaranean move below him.
She moaned slightly before rubbing her face in Robin's chest. She moved so her chin was resting on Robin's chest so she was facing him, and then opened her eyes slowly. She gave him a soft smile. "Good morning, Robin."
He smiled back and gripped her waist. "Morning."
Starfire moved to sit up. She stretched her arms up in the air, and then stretched out like a cat. She crawled over Robin's legs and set her feet on the ground, lifting herself up to stand. She turned toward Robin with a smile and held out her hand for him to take.
He stretched one more time and then grabbed her outstretched hand, depending on her strength to pull him up. He slightly bounced from the force as he stood fully.
He turned her and hugged her backward. He kissed the nape of her neck. "Let's go get some breakfast."
She nodded in agreement as she leaned into his embrace, putting her own hands on his arms, gently squeezing.
Robin let go of her and instead put an arms around her waist, pulling her out of his bedroom and into the hallway.
She leaned against his shoulder, still somewhat sleepy, as they walked down the abandoned hallway. She nuzzled his neck slightly, and he let out a chuckle in reply.
It was crazy how one night could change the demeanor of their relationship so much. It was as if it broke down the barrier that caused discomfort and hesitation, and allowed an actual serious relationship form. Well, at least as serious as you can get at eighteen. Starfire had been ready for this long before last night anyway, but she knew Robin was not. She was quite happy that he was beginning to break out of his shell when she had just begun wondering if he ever would.
Both could hear the bustling inside the ops. room as they neared the entrance, and knew that everyone was up once they heard Beast Boy and Cyborg bickering, while Raven threatened to have them visit her father.
The couple laughed quietly to each other at their friends' antics. Robin let go of Starfire's waist – because who would the boy wonder be if he was so quick to show that much affection? – and pressed the button to open the door. It swished open and Robin pulled Starfire in by her hand.
The Titans abruptly stopped their bickering and faced the happy couple. Raven simply raised an eyebrow and then went back to her newest book (Full Dark, No Stars: Short Stories by Stephen King); she knew whatever the reason they came in so late was their business. Unfortunately, the other two were not as understanding.
Cyborg wiggled his eyebrows at the two. "So, why you guys up so late, hm?"
Beast Boy nodded and stood next to Cyborg with a Cheshire grin on his face. "Yeah; getting' some morning love, Robin?"
The two began to laugh, figuring that Robin had a very red face and choked expression. Their laughs died when they actually looked.
Robin stood with a relaxed expression, his hand still in Starfire's as he shrugged. "I don't think it's really any of your business."
Starfire nodded in response. She ignored the shocked expressions of her two teammates and smiled sweetly. "Please, have you seen the cookies of chocolate chips and peanut butter that I had made the previous night?"
The two turned with somewhat solemn expressions to the Tupperware of many cookies, covered with saran wrap since they were overflowing to where the top could not fit over it. The two smiled at her and gave her thumbs up.
Starfire smiled yet again. "Please, may you try one? I spent much time to make them."
Beast Boy and Cyborg glanced at one another and gulped, thinking of the previous times Starfire had cooked.
Robin cleared his throat to catch their attentions. "They're fine, guys. I was there when she made them." The couple smiled at one another.
The two boys went to grab a cookie, not even bothering to comment on the fact the two were up all night together. It seemed that it would be wasted, anyway. They looked at one another and nodded, taking equally sized bites at the same time. There was silence as the boys chewed.
Beast Boy was the first to comment. His eyes lit up at he studied the cookie. "Dude, these are awesome!"
Cyborg nodded vehemently in agreement. "Yeah Star, good job!"
Starfire beamed and clasped her hands. "I thank you, friends!"
Robin cleared his throat to catch the Titans' attentions, remembering his thought process from earlier that morning. "So, it's the time to year that the carnival comes in town. I was thinking we could go."
"Dude, sweet! I am so there!" Beast Boy bounced slightly.
Cyborg smiled. "Definitely there."
All eyes went to Raven.
She glanced up at the others momentarily, and then looked back down at her book. "Fine."
The two boys cheered, and Robin chuckled at their antics. Starfire clasped onto Robin's shoulders and beamed at him. "What a wonderful idea, Robin!"
He gave her a lop-sided grin. "I try."
Beast Boy stuck his finger down his throat, causing Cyborg to snicker and Raven to roll her eyes. Cyborg then pulled Beast Boy aside when a look of remembrance adorned his face. They whispered to each other, and then turned toward Robin with equally adoring smiles on their faces.
Cyborg cleared his throat. "So, your idea kinda made me n' B remember an idea we had."
Robin nodded for him to continue as he let go of Starfire's hand and crossed his arms, leader mode kicking in.
Cyborg took a deep breath and continued. "We were wondering if we could, ya know, throw a Titan party. We'd invite everyone – or however many you'll let us I guess – and just chill and stuff…"
There was silence in the room as Robin silently stared at the two boys. They began to fidget under his gaze. A few more moments of silence.
He looked hard upon the two boys. "Fine."
The two cheered.
Robin held out a hand to stop them. "There will be some conditions, of course." The boys groaned and Robin glared at them to shut them up before he continued. "There will be no alcohol, the music won't be too loud, and there's a maximum of 30 people. Got it?"
The two nodded. Cyborg cautiously raised his hand.
Robin raised an eyebrow. "Yes Cyborg?"
"What if someone sneaks alcohol in or somethin'. I mean, would we still get in trouble? 'Cause it wouldn't be our fault, ya know."
Robin rolled his eyes under his mask. "Search them when they come in. I'm sure they'll understand." He looked at his watch. "It's noon. I say we go to the carnival around seven so it's still light out, but we'll still be busy enough to stay for the fireworks. Sound good?"
All the Titans nodded in reply.
Robin nodded once back. "Good."
The Titans were positioned in the ops. room, freshly groomed to go to the carnival. They all decided that dressing in civvies would be more comfortable and more fitting for where they were headed.
Cyborg decided to wear something similar to what he wore when they all met. He wasn't ashamed of what he was anymore, but if the rest were dressing normal he may as well too.
Beast Boy seemed to have a little too much fun with the civvies thing. He had on a shirt with a fake tuxedo on it, claiming that the 'ladies dig that kind of stuff' and a pair of khakis. He also decided to add ridiculously bright shoes. They were custom dunks with bright pink – yes, pink – and green adorning it.
Raven dressed in quite nicely in her short sleeved blue and white striped top with dark jeans. She just added her regular boots to the mix since they seemed to go with the outfit well. Her hair was worn normal.
Starfire – with her new obsession with fashion magazines – took the longest with her look. She adorned herself with a white button up and a blue custom Ralph Lauren blazer, both brought up to cinch at her elbows, and added a pair of dark denim shorts with a brown belt for a more casual tone. She completed the look with a pair of brown leather gladiator sandals and a side braid.
Robin – with his surprising good taste, thanks to the days in Wayne Manor – wore a fielding pullover sweater with a white t-shirt underneath, somewhat peaking out under the sweater, a pair of dark slim-fit jeans and Sperry Topsider authentic brown leather boat shoes.
They were dressed to impress, that was for sure. Well, for the most part.
Robin rubbed his hands together. "All right Titans, let's head out. Everyone can split up and do whatever they want once we get there."
Cyborg snorted. "Just because you want alone time with yo' girl."
Robin raised an eyebrow under his mask as he crossed his arms. "Your point?"
Cyborg deflated and told everyone to get in the T-Car.
The ride over was silent, but comfortably silent. Each were in their own thoughts until they pulled up to the carnival. Each filed out of the car and parted ways without difficulty, Beast Boy dragging Raven with him.
Robin watched the scene and chuckled "I swear, they're like a married couple."
Starfire giggled next to him as she grabbed his hand. "I concur."
They walked along in silence, their hands swinging as they looked at all the attractions.
Robin turned to her. "So what do you wanna do first?"
She 'hmm'ed in thought, and then brightened. "Perhaps we may play the games first? And then we must do the riding of roller coasters."
Robin nodded and then looked around for a mildly entertaining game. Robin grinned when he found the perfect game for his girlfriend. He gripped her hand tighter as he pulled her toward one of the games. "C'mon Star. I have a great game."
She followed along wordlessly, wanting whatever game Robin was pulling her toward to be a surprise. She brightened when she recognized it once she was pulled up to it. Perfect, indeed.
The man running it saw the two and smiled. "Welcome! I'm sure you already know the rules to this game, but if not: hit hard enough to ring the bell, a prize comes your way!"
Starfire smiled knowingly at Robin. She cleared her throat to catch the man's attention. His eyes quickly roamed down her form, and instantly back to her face when he heard a growl come from the back of Robin's throat.
The man nodded and handed Starfire the mallet. "By all means, try it. I must warn you, though, don't expect it to go too far my young girl." He smiled with humor.
Starfire had to fight a grin off her face. She decided it would be more fun to 'hustle' the man. She sighed. "I shall try my best." She acted as though the mallet was heavy in itself – with all honesty, it would be to a human girl of her size – and let it fall onto the platform. The light only made it about a third up. She sighed dramatically.
The man looked sympathetically at the girl. "Sorry hun. Maybe you wanna try again? If ya get it, you get two prizes, on me!" He smiled, knowing that he had nothing to lose.
Starfire sighed again. "Well, I guess I shall try again…" This time she lifted it with no problem and hit the platform with force, the light making it straight to the top. She smiled kindly at the man. "You told me I get two prizes, yes?"
The man stared at her in surprise. "Uh…y-yeah. Here ya go, young miss." As he handed her the prizes, he seemed to be inspecting her upper arms to find out where exactly that strength came from.
"I thank you kind sir! Have a nice night." She smiled kindly and then took Robin's hand, whom also smiled at the man, those his was more out of amusement.
Serves him right for looking at her that way.
They continued on through the park. Suddenly there was giggling behind him as a group of girls began to pace behind them. Robin listened in and caught on that they were trying to debate whether or not to approach him. He groaned inwardly.
It seemed they finally came to a conclusion when one of the girls called his name.
The couple stopped and turned toward the group, and Robin plastered on a very forced smile. "Yes?"
The girls looked at one another with hidden grins, and the girl that called his name bit her lip before speaking. "I've always wanted to meet you, so I couldn't resist when I saw you! My name's Tanya." She ignored the rest of her friends as she came closer to the boy wonder.
Robin raised an eyebrow from under her mask. "Hi, Tanya. I would introduce myself, but I'm guessing you already know who I am."
She laughed a little too happily. "Oh, you're so funny!" She batted her eyelashes at him. It seemed as if she didn't even notice that Starfire was there, which was probably good since the girl was currently trying to keep herself from biting the girl's head off.
The girl seemingly checked out Robin, almost causing him to vomit, and then tried to look sexy as she pushed her chest out. She pulled a sharpie out of her pocked and handed it to him. She opened the top buttons of her shirt to somewhat expose her chest, making Robin cringe. "Will you sign my chest?"
Starfire let out a growl as she pushed Robin out of the way. She placed a smile on her face with her eyes glowing, and one finger pointed with starbolt energy leaking from it. "Perhaps I shall burn it in your chest. Does that sound acceptable?"
The girl stumbled back with fear written on her face as she began to sweat. "Uh, no, that's okay. I'll just…go now." She began to stumble back as she and her friend quickly bustled away.
Starfire kept her smile on her face as she waved to their back. "Goodbye!" She looked over at Robin with a triumphant look in her eyes.
Robin nodded appreciatively and wrapped an arm around her. "Damn straight, my girlfriend's a hard ass."
Starfire giggled as they began to walk again.
After a few more games and some roller coaster rides, the sky soon turned dark.
Robin led Starfire over to the Ferris wheel. He turned to her. "It's almost time for the fireworks."
Starfire's eyes lit up as she clasped her hands in front of her. "I very much enjoy the fireworks! Please, let us get on the ride quickly."
The line was fairly short, surprisingly, and Robin and Starfire were able to get right on. Before Robin climbed in he whispered to the worker and slipped something in his hand, making Starfire curious.
She furrowed her brow as he locked them in. "Please, what were you talking to the nice worker about?"
He smirked at her as he casually put his arm around her shoulders. "You'll see."
The ride begun and the wheel turned slowly. Starfire rested her head on Robin's shoulder as they rolled around for a second round. After a couple more rounds, the wheel stopped, with Robin and Starfire right at the top.
Starfire turned to Robin and smiled. "Am I correct in thinking that you did the bribing of the man?"
Robin shrugged his shoulders with a grin. "Maybe."
Starfire opened her mouth to speak, when the first fireworks began to go off. She turned to them, completely transfixed in the beauty, as she gripped Robin's hands in her own while leaned into his chest.
She looked up at his face to catch the wide smile spread across it, making her grin as well. She kissed his cheek lightly, and he turned to give her a lingering kiss. Both turned back to enjoy the show.
The Titans had gotten back from the carnival a good twenty minutes earlier, and now Robin and Starfire were in his room, dressed in their pajamas. They were resting on his bed making small talk every now and again, but mostly sitting in silence.
Starfire turned to him and smiled sweetly while she rested on his shoulder. "I had a wondrous time tonight, Robin."
He smiled back. "I'm glad." He kissed her temple.
Suddenly they were staring at each other once again, surely about to have a repeat of the night before.
Obviously this was the truth.
Robin kissed her yet again, the kissing prolonged and passionate, but not yet out of control. Starfire wrapped her arms around his neck as she pulled him on top of her. He used one elbow to prop himself up with, and used his other hand to roam down her torso from the top of her ribcage to her hips. He squeezed them gently as he began to make his way back up.
Robin released his lips from hers as he began to kiss and suck on her neck, causing a long moan to escape her throat. As he was attacking her neck, he let his hands travel up a little further, gently sliding across the very bottom of her left breast, though did not care go higher, especially since she wasn't wearing a bra under the deep plum camisole she had thrown on. He began to wonder if she did that on purpose; after all, she didn't exactly have small assets.
Starfire felt a jolt of pleasure flow through her at the contact, and instantly wanted more. As she pulled Robin's lips back up to hers, she grabbed the exploring hand and placed it right on her breast, gently letting his hand squeeze her. She moaned yet again as he began to knead.
Robin could feel himself become quickly aroused and was surely poking her yet again. He figured this was the truth when she took in a deep breath, considering their bodies were aligned perfectly. Her back arched somewhat to be able to feel this more as she took Robin's hand off her breast and brought it under her shirt to do it yet again.
Robin groaned when he felt her rub against him, which caused him to grip her tighter. He left her lips once again as he gently nipped at her neck, causing a gasp from his girlfriend. He gently brought his hand out from under her top and sat up so he was straddling her. He played with the end of her shirt and then looked up at her for confirmation.
She smiled at him and beckoned for him to continue.
He was hesitant at first; after all, he was about to see his girlfriend topless for the first time. He felt apprehensive, yet excited at the same time. Finally he began to inch the fabric up her stomach and to the top of her ribcage and stopped. He bent down and kissed around the shirt, and then dared to raise it higher. A few seconds later and it was on the floor.
Robin looked her over, causing Starfire to blush, and leaned back down taking a nipple in his mouth. She arched her back into him as she began to lift his plain gray t-shirt up. He quickly got the message and sat up, removing the article of clothing. He lay down so he was flat on top of her as he began to kiss her desperately yet again.
Starfire wrapped her arms tightly around him as she slowly rubbed against him, causing him to gasp and moan. She brought her legs around his waist and rubbed a little more until both were panting heavily.
Robin abruptly moved his bottom half off of her, knowing he couldn't take much more, and covered it up by running his hand down her leg and to the inside of her thigh.
The closeness of his hand made her let out tiny moans with every breath while her eyes fluttered closed. She unconsciously parted her legs as his hand began to snake up closer, diving under her shorts, He gently kneaded the top of her inner thigh, causing a throaty moan to escape her angelic lips. He kissed around her chest as he kept in this area, though did not move all the way to between her legs.
Starfire moved her hands down his back and to his own flannel pajama pants. She played with the waist band and dipped her fingers inside, gently letting her fingers glide against him.
His mouth fell open as he moaned, and began panting as she let those light glides become somewhat stronger. He began to inch his way over her underwear and gently rubbed, causing her grip to tighten.
Robin dragged himself on top of her yet again, though did not fully lie down, so he could keep his hand below.
Starfire began to pant and moan with every breath, but then grabbed his hand. She let her breath regulate.
Robin looked up at her, curious as to why she stopped him.
She began to sit up, and pulled Robin to do the same. She looked into his eyes, though more so pointedly at the object covering them.
Robin studied her. "What is it, Star?"
She sighed and ran a finger around the outline of Robin's mask, causing him to stiffen and become alert. She pulled her hand away and bit her lip. "I do not…wish to go further until I am able to see your real eyes. This seems fair, yes?"
He stared at her, and then nodded. "You're right, Star." He looked down with his brow furrowed. He could feel himself slowly come down from his arousal and sighed. "Just…soon. Not now, but soon."
She nodded, expecting as much. "I will take that answer. Thank you Robin."
He gave her a small smile and nodded, then grabbed her to lay down on him as they were before the whole thing started. He kissed the top of her forehead and sighed. "Let's sleep."
She nodded in response and closed her eyes. "Yes. I am quite tired now." She smiled.
Robin let out a breathy laugh, and then let them delve into silence. He ran his hands through her hair until she fell asleep, and he was soon after.
Yep, so things are definitely getting heated up in here. I mean, we're basically chillin' in the oven. But as you can see, it will still be a few chapters. I mean, Robin's not going to just go ahead and rip off his mask no matter who he's showing it to. No siree.
Seriously, I had something I wanted to type here but I can't remember! Grr.
Oh! I was going to gush over how much I want the blazer I had Starfire wear. Seriously, it's awesome. But yeah, definitely not going to just blow $598. Pshh.
Anyway, Read and Review!
