Day 28 - Ghost
Robin picked himself up from his desk, pushed his paperwork aside and scooped up his coffee cup, intending to go and make some more.
He was making some real headway with it but without the bitter taste of coffee, he'd crumble and never finish it off.
Taking a deep sigh, he walked out of his office door and headed towards the kitchen, running a hand over his face as he moved.
Suddenly, he heard an odd sound, echoing off the walls of the hallway. It was elongated and had a tremor to it, almost as if someone was trying to sound scary.
He looked up and down the hall, wondering where it was coming from. Robin shrugged and kept walking, deciding whatever it was would show itself at some stage.
The "ooo" type sound seemed to be getting closer so Robin slowed his pace and flicked a brief glance over his shoulder, seeing a flash of white. He grinned as he faced forwards again.
He knew the tone was familiar and now that it was closer, he knew for a fact it was Starfire, doing whatever she was doing.
Robin stopped on the spot and allowed Starfire to hover up behind him before she sucked in a breath and called, "Boo!"
He turned around and lifted an eyebrow at her. She had a white sheet over her head with cut out holes for eyes and her hands were raised above her head. She appeared to be very ghostly. Adorable but ghostly.
Smirking, Robin reached out and grasped the corners of the sheet.
"No, wait! You must not-"
He gave a small yank and lifted the sheet upwards, exposing the ghost's identity beneath. She huffed and crossed her arms over her head,
"You have ruined it." She complained, tilting her head at him.
Robin chuckled, "No…" He trailed off as he lifted the sheet higher, snuggling in beneath it with her. He dropped it back over their heads and turned his head to her,
"Hold on to my shoulders, Star." He instructed, Starfire doing as he asked.
She watched as he rearranged the sheet over them before he placed his hands over hers on his shoulders, pulling her along as he walked,
"Let's go scare Beast Boy." Robin suggested, earning a light giggle from Starfire.
