You know, I've never really been one for drama. Neither the genre nor the..er..real life drama. But hey I got a taste of writing it in this story. I admit, I kinda prefer romance and comedy and action to it lol Oh well! I said I was determined to finish this story as best as possible so that's what I'm doin!

Next Chapter up, hope you enjoy. Ooh. Disclaimer right right.

Disclaimer: Do not own Teen Titans. Much to my dismay.

Chapter 13

"Starfire?" Robin asked softly. She'd been staring out the window, with her arms crossed and her head against the frame, for the past 10 minutes, refusing to say a thing to him. She'd been silent. She hadn't even tried to kick him out. Robin sighed and made his way over to her. He put his hand on her shoulder and felt her tense up. He gently turned her around so she was facing him once more. He held his hand out; in his palm was the ring he'd thrown out an hour before.

"I'm sorry." he managed. She just stared at him, "I'm sorry, it's not my place to..to try and tell you how you feel or order you around or anything. Here, this is yours."

Starfire didn't take the ring. She simple glared him with her eyes welling up once more with tears, "Why Robin?"

He was confused, "Wh-why what?"

"Why now? Why must you come back into my life now? Do...you still retain strong feelings for me?" she mumbled. Her voice faltered and she sighed, covering her eyes. She was exhausted.

Robin bit his lip and shifted from foot to foot. He'd never been good at telling how he felt. Or even deciphering how he felt. Starfire shook her head and took the ring out of his palm, she began walking towards the door, "I should have known you would never speak to me of your emotions Robin."

He grabbed her arm and looked her in the eyes, "Starfire you know this is hard for me. But..I'm willing to try. I can't promise it's what you want to hear." She nodded and waited.

"I..I don't regret leaving all those years ago."

She narrowed her eyes and snatched her hand away.
"No Starfire listen. Please. I loved you then and the opportunity that was given to was once in a lifetime. But I do regret not..not begging you to come with me. I regret staying for so long. I regret giving up on us.." Robin's heart was beating louder than ever. Starfire continued looking away; he saw her breathing in and out regularly.

He continued, "Every single day for the past five years, I've thought about you constantly Star. You're completely ingrained in my head; your laughter, your giggles and hugs and kisses, all of it. I missed it. And when I saw Raven and she told me you were here, I just..I just couldn't believe it. And I thought I had a chance. But..then I found out you were engaged. Starfire I'm not gonna lie to you. I want to be in Jake's place. I want to be the one you spend the rest of your life with. ME. Star.."

She looked up at him and her heart swelled with a simultaneous mix of joy and sadness, "Robin.."

"No. I..I need to ask you this. If I don't, I'll regret it forever." Robin grabbed her left hand once more and kissed it. He gently took the ring off again and placed it on the coffee table behind him, he breathed in deeply and hoped his voice wouldn't crack, "Starfire, I love you..so much. Please don't think of anyone else when you consider this, please baby. Just think of your own feelings, and if after you do that the answer is still no, I'll leave it alone. I'll truly be only your friend."

She glared at him and nodded, she stopped breathing, "What is it Robin?"

He sighed nervously and met her eyes, "Marry me instead. I know..I know how pathetic that sounds, I know how stupid and potentially psychotic I'm being-"

"I accept."

Robin's eyes bulged to impossible parameters, he felt as if he was going to have the most wonderful heart attack ever recorded, "What!"

Starfire giggled nervously, "I accept." She repeated.

Robin stood up straight and grabbed her shoulders gently, he hadn't blinked. He held his breath, "Wh..are you..but what about Jake?"

Starfire shook her head and slid her hands to Robin's waist. She smiled, "I did what you told me. I thought of myself. Of my feelings. And my feelings for you were clearly victorious."

Robin laughed, "You..Does this mean you're not marrying Jake?"

"Mm-mm. As I understand, the 'deal' was I marry you instead no?" Starfire asked cheekily.

Robin nodded, his head swimming with a million thoughts at once, "Yes Star yes. I..I never want us apart again."

Starfire began to speak, but Robin cut her off, smiling and planting his lips on hers, she squeaked and wrapped her arms around him. Their lips brushed together, softly at first. Tasting and nipping after years of dormant desire. However, the initial passion and yearning they shared came back the second their lips connected. After shy nibbles, Robin couldn't help but deepen the kiss, sliding his tongue in her mouth, in desperate search of hers. Starfire eagerly responded, pulling at his hair and urging him closer. A small moan of happiness slipped out of Robin's mouth as he pushed her against the wall, roaming from her waist to her back, exploring after years of missed touches.

Starfire pulled away, gazing at Robin through half lidded eyes, breathing heavily, "Robin..Robin we cannot. I am still compromised to another and in order for us to continue this, I must break the relationship properly, please. We must stop. I fear I will not be able to if we continue further."

Robin nodded dreamily, he rested his head in the crook of her neck, still dazed by the events of the night.

Starfire groaned and hugged him tight, "I must speak to Jake first thing tomorrow when he returns."

Robin's head shot up, "Starfire I hate to ruin the moment and..I don't know how you'll react, but after all this, I have something to tell you..."

TTTTT

Raven pushed him away, shouting, "What do you think you're doing!"

Beast Boy took a minute to recover, he looked up to see her gazing at him with lusty, terrified eyes, "Me? Hey you kissed me back!"

Raven blushed, "No I didn't!"

"Oh right, like that was my own tongue rubbing all up on me!"

Raven crossed her arms, "No. I have to go."

"No you don't!" he stepped towards her, taking her by the waist firmly. Raven felt a simmering heat pool in her belly. "You were asking for it and you know it Rae. Now the question is: Are you gonna let me do it again?"

She bit her lip and put her hands up against his chest, "Why should I?"

"Because..I'm such an awesome kisser?"

Raven rolled her eyes, "Right."

Beast Boy sighed, touching her cheek, "Don't throw me out a window Rae, but it's about time I said this."

"Said..what?"

"I like you. A lot." he mumbled, looking at her with his green adorable eyes, a blush creeping up his cheeks.

Raven was never one for showing much excitement, but she felt as if she could full out giggle at that, "You like me."

Beast Boy nodded and smirked, "I think you're damn sexy too."

Raven smiled and swatted his arm, "Is this some surprisingly well thought out scheme to get in my pants?"

"No. Although that's just fine!"

"Stop talking."

"Start kissing." He grinned before leaning down and brushing his lips against hers once more before any unnecessary complaint.

"I do not understand. Then Jake, he is evil? He is really this Stanley?" Starfire asked.

Robin sat next to her on the couch and placed a hand on her knee. "Yeah Star. I..didn't really plan on ambushing you with this. Then again I didn't really plan for the night to turn out like this."

Starfire frowned and placed her hand over Robin's. "Why? Did you not trust me?"

Robin shook his head rapidly, "No no. It's not that at all. I just..didn't think you'd believe me. Everyone said you wouldn't without proof."

"You have always had my complete trust Robin. I would not have doubted you then and I do not doubt you now. I am..however frightened that I have been cavorting around with murderer!"

"Star..it's okay c'mere." Robin wrapped his arms around her, "Look we'll find some concrete proof on this guy. Cyborg's working on that right now. Everything ties together, it's just that one bit of proof they can use for a conviction. Just promise you won't go near him again after you end things? I need you safe Starfire."

She nodded, "I promise. I am more than capable of taking care of myself you know Robin."

He smirked, "Yeah, but I can't help it."

"Robin?"

"Hmm?"

Starfire leaned up and placed a loving, chaste kiss near his lips, "I do love you too.."
