A few months later

Robin handed Starfire a soda as he sat down beside her on the couch. Raven was at a poetry reading while Cyborg and Beast Boy had gone out for pizza. He and Starfire were alone in the Tower.

"Are you sure that you don't want to go out?" he asked.

"I am the okay with the night in. Truly," she assured him. "We do not get much of the alone time."

"No kidding," Robin agreed as he wrapped an arm around her shoulders, drawing her closer.

Between Titan missions and time with their friends, they had had very little time alone together. They had managed a few dates in the city, visiting the park and going out for dinner. But it never seemed to be enough.

"Anything you want to watch?" Robin asked as he picked up the remote.

"There is a new World of Fungus in a few minutes."

"Nope, not watching that. That show is still vile."

"I thought you were beginning to enjoy it," she said. "It is most educational."

"I'm sure that watching paint dry can be educational," he countered. "It doesn't mean that it's enjoyable."

"Now you are being the mean."

"Sorry, Star, but maybe you can get Beast Boy to watch it with you."

"Maybe I will. He is most cuddly when he is a cat. It is a most enjoyable way to enjoy the television."

"Are you saying that I'm not cuddly?" Robin asked, setting his soda on the coffee table.

She placed her drink beside his. "Can you turn into the house cat?"

"Well, no," he said, grinning. "But I do have other skills."

She raised her eyebrows. "Indeed?"

She managed to giggle before he tackled her against the couch.
