I apologize for the paragraph mishap. I am not sure what happened there.

The mall of shopping was extravagant, not as extravagant as Bruce's home, but still beautiful.

Robin watched Starfire's eyes glow with wonder at the beauty. Though he sighed at the tame version of her eyes due to her 'human disguise.' Hearing her laughter, and letting her pull him around the mall were slowly healing his wounds from the morning. She had now spotted the pet store with a few kittens in the window. He smiled but was gritting his teeth, he wasn't going to get her out of there.

"Please, look at their adorableness! Oh, please we must take them all home!" Starfire's voice was so sweet that passerbys couldn't help but laugh. Raven was holding down Starfire to keep her from floating. The Tameranean picked up a kitten and gave them a kiss on the head.

Beastboy scrunched up his nose, "c'mon Star. I'm way cuter than that! I could show you…"

Raven raised an eyebrow, "are you… jealous?"

Cyborg guffawed as Beastboy started blushing, "no… Star's my sister… I just…"
Raven smirked, "there's no room for another animal in the tower?"

Beastboy threw his hands up, "I'm not jealous!"

Cyborg laughed, "oh my god, is this like with cats or dogs? You know? When you come home smelling like another animal? Are we B's humans?!"

Beastboy scrunched his nose, "well Cy, you'd be the worst human ever. And I'd bring you a pile of- "

Robin jumped in, "I promise you that I really wanted to hear that, but guys, watch the names."

Raven nodded, "Gar, you're our favourite I promise."

The titans looked over at Starfire who was still crooning at the kitten.

Beastboy pulled on Starfire, "hey, Kori, please help me shop… Please?"

Starfire looked at Beastboy and felt the distress she was causing him, she sighed and placed the kitten down, "Yes friend, so what was on your list."

Beastboy whispered in her ear.

Starfire smiled, "that will be easy."

Starfire felt accomplished. It was so easy to help others shop. She always listened carefully to her friends, it made it so easy to figure out what they needed. The real trouble came when Beastboy said he wanted to get something sweet for Raven. Starfire had many options for this though, from jewelry to something a little simpler. Beastboy had opted for something in between. The titans had decided to split up and go their separate ways. Cyborg had gone to the electronics store and said he was also going to check out the car shop next door, while Raven and Beastboy were just going to go look around. Starfire was eager to allow them to have the time alone as well as to have the time alone with Robin as well.

"So where do you wanna go next, Kori? Back to the pet store? Gar won't see you holding those kittens now." Robin's eyes glinted with trouble.

Starfire pouted, "he will still do the smelling of them on me. Where do you want to go, dy iliuni?"

Robin considered her, "you know, I picked out your gift before we started dating, is there… maybe something else… you want? Like… something special?"

Starfire stopped walking and turned to him, "Richard, everything I receive from you is special. I cherish every gift I receive from you."

Robin fought back a blush, "I know, angel. But that doesn't mean that I don't want to get you something very special."

Starfire raised an eyebrow at him then smiled, "I would like all of your blankets."

Robin chuckled, "you'll already have all of them. Trust me."

Starfire tapped her chin, "but will you be in them."

Robin chuckled, "yes." He leaned in and whispered in her ear, "and hopefully I'll be in you."

Starfire turned a light shade of pink, but her eyes became alluring. She leaned in, placed her hand on Robin's cheek and took his bottom lip in between hers. Gently biting them.

Robin sighed at the feeling. He groaned and gave Starfire a quick kiss before resting his forehead against hers, "Dy iliuni, if we start again, I don't think we'll be able to stop."

Starfire puffed out her bottom lip, and Robin chuckled huskily.

It occurred to Robin, that this was the first time they were out in public as a couple. Sure no one knew it was them, but it brought excitement into him none the less. Everyone could see they were each others. Everyone could see how much they loved one another. He enjoyed how personal it felt, how these strangers saw their love, but he also treasured the animosity of it. That no one knew that they were heroes. They were just two people in love.

"I will give you a penny for your thoughts."

Starfire's voice was alluring.

Robin also enjoyed privacy… a lot.

Robin tripped over his words, "I just, like being out in public… like this… with you…"

Starfire arched and eyebrow, "you enjoy for others to see us kissing?"

Robin chuckled at himself, "no. I like...not hiding that I love you."

Starfire smiled and gave him a lingering kiss, "and I love you."

Robin took Starfire around the waist and lowered his voice, "and I also would love to have you in my bed"

A camera suddenly flashed and Robin's eyes widened.

Beastboy was struggling with his words. He was thankful for the moments of silence. This was one of the many things he liked about Raven, she did not expect him to constantly talk. He wasn't expected to continuously carry on with small talk. Raven liked quiet, but she also seemed to like it when he talked.

He finally got the courage to speak again, "so what about you?"

Raven looked up from the candle she had in her hand and raised an eyebrow "I already got my present for Sta-Kori."

Beastboy shook his head and placed the moisturizer he was looking at down, "no. Sorry. I mean, what's your favourite type of food."

Raven couldn't hide her small smile, "I actually really like Italian. Or Thai food. The real stuff though."

Beastboy nodded, "are there any real ones in Jump?"

Raven nodded, "a few."

Beastboy let out a nervous breath, "would you want to go?... with me?"

Raven nodded.

Beastboy rubbed his lips together to contain his happiness.

There was a content silence.

After a beat or two Raven spoke again, "Starfire really likes the smell of peaches and strawberries together. I know which shop has it. C'mon."

As soon as they left the store, there was a commotion on the balcony, a mix of voices carried over to the couple,

"are you Dick Greyson's new girl?"
"How long has this been happening?"

"Where ya from?"

"What have you been up to Dick?"

"Where have ya been?"

Raven's eyes widened, "we'll get Star's gift in Jump. I think they need us."
Beastboy nodded.

The pair quickly made their way over to the paparazzi. Raven caught a glimpse of Starfire's face. She was scared. She didn't know what was going on. Raven sensed her anxiety. Raven looked around the area. There was a small bathroom down the next hall. She bit her lip. If she wanted to get them there, she needed a distraction. She looked at Beastboy, who was looking at her, she then looked at a sprinkler conveniently placed above the mob. Beastboy nodded, "got it."

Raven nodded back, "car shop. Five minutes. Bring Cyborg and the car."

He went into the nearby photo booth and turned into a fly. He then flew to the sprinkler. Raven reached for Robin's mind, when she felt it, she sent a message, "it's about to rain. Bathrooms to your right. I'll be waiting. Beastboy will meet us outside."

The sprinkler burst above the mob. Robin, holding tightly to Starfire, ran to the bathroom. Raven close behind. After a moment the hoards of people began following as well. Once they safely made it to the bathroom, Raven held the door with her powers. She looked at the two, "you okay?"

Robin nodded while rubbing Starfire's back, "it was… a lot... all of a sudden."

Raven nodded, "out?"

"yes, please. Thank you Raven." Robin smiled.

Raven smiled back. She pictured the roof of the mall in her mind. Open space for Starfire to breath. The cool winter air. The roof.

The black of Raven's powers surrounded the trio. They vanished in the dark. The hold on the door released, and the mob of people fell into an empty bathroom.
