~*~ Aww, thank you for the reviews, guys! You make me feel right at home! *smiles* Brat Monkee, all I have to say is.YAY!! I'm so excited! I have a few ideas of my own, hee hee this will be fun ^____^ Hope I can talk to you soon! Oh, and to everybody reading this, I saw something cool on TV today! My little brother won the war over the remote this morning, so we were watching "Static Shock" on Kids WB. I had some time to kill anyway, so I watched it with him. It was the episode when Virgil goes to Gothem City and, well, here's the dialogue. Static: So, where's Robin? Batman: With the Titans. Static: The Titans? Who are they? Batman: You'll meet them someday. I thought that was hysterical and started laughing uncontrollably, much to my lil' bro's confused dismay. Oh, and I also finally saw the first episode of Teen Titans! It was cool! Starfire was concerned about Robin ^-^ awwww, and there was a lot of Raven/Beast Boy ^-^ (by the way, be on the look out for little hints of them in the story, then prepare for my sequel.hehehe) Well, here's the 2nd chapter! I'll try not to have any random outbursts about any of my future husbands, they may not know I exist yet, but OH they will!!!! Hehe, ok, on with the show!!!~*~

The morning sun slipped its note through the transparent glass of Robin's bedroom window. It bounced off his enormous hanging mirror and spilled all over the floor in a puddle of light. Another message ricocheted off the mirror and laid a soft covering over the slumbering teens. Starfire felt its warm, smooth fingers tickle her skin, and she smiled at the touch. Her eyes, still sealed with those last precious grains of sleep, refused to open to greet the day, and she turned away from the sunshine into something..else. A different substance that she had not expected. She ran her fingers over it, her eyes still closed, thinking of all possibilities of what it truly was. It felt hard, with toned areas only battle could have brought. Perplexingly, at the same time, it was soft, with compassion and caring only a leader could possess. Starfire gave up her games and reluctantly let her eyes flicker open. She squinted at her surroundings and blinked. "This is not my room.." she thought silently. A sunny yellow, velvety covering was draped over her shoulders, stopping short at her ankles and leaving them bare and abandoned. She heard a tiny groan, and it startled her on how close it was. Starfire let her eyes gaze upward, hoping to find a solution to her perplexing problem. She first came in contact with a mess of black hair, shooting off every which way. She gasped, realizing the only possible person a mane like that could belong to.

Starfire's eyes shot to her blanket, and her suspicions were confirmed. This was Robin's cape. This was Robin's room. This was... "Robin?" she whispered, her voice as sweet as ever. Robin was not disturbed by her query, and tightened his protective grip he gently held her in. It was at this point she noticed her own arms were locked behind his back in an embrace. Starfire unlatched them and pushed his cape aside to see for herself. Robin's arm had curled over her slender form, holding her with his gloved hand. Starfire would be lying if she said this was a bad position to be in, awkward, perhaps, but certainly not bad. Nevertheless, she shook his sleeping form and called to him again. "Robin? Wake up. Now is the time to not sleep!" she murmured. Robin snorted and yawned, glancing down at the girl in his arms. He smiled, his half-litted eyes concealed by the mystery of his mask. "Hiya, Star." he muttered, his voice scratchy from just awakening. Suddenly, his eyes widened and he stared at her in utter shock, his mouth agape. "STAR?!" he exclaimed. He, embarrassed, unhitched his arm from around her, releasing her, and scrambled into the corner of his bed. Fearing he may have been too loud, Starfire cupped her palm over his mouth to silence whatever he might say.

"I suppose..we must have fallen asleep during your movie, Robin." she said, removing her hand from his face. Robin's eyebrows arched. "Well, it would APPEAR that way, now wouldn't it?" he sarcastically remarked. Starfire lowered her eyes. "I am sorry to have offended you, Robin, I was merely making a suggestion." she muttered meekly. Robin's face softened and it dawned on him he may have hurt the girl's feelings. He scooted next to her and placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Hey, I'm sorry. You-well, ya kinda caught me off guard." He said with a lopsided grin. She looked up and slightly smiled. "I should go.." she grumbled, and rose to leave the room, but before she left, she turned back to the boy hunched over on the bed. "Robin?" she asked. He looked up at her and smiled. "Yes?" She played with a strand of her hair and let a happy grin tease her lips. "I-I enjoyed hanging out with you." she said simply, and looked to him and beamed. He returned it and watched her slip out the door. Neither of them seemed to notice that Robin's cape had managed to catch itself on Starfire's shirt.

Elsewhere, the Titans were preparing breakfast. Raven sat at the table, casually leafing through a book of spells and nibbling at a waffle. Cyborg was putting out his third stove fire with a nearby extinguisher while Beast Boy dug through a random box of cereal. "Damn." he muttered, then tossed it aside and grabbed another, shoving his entire fist inside. "Damn." he repeated, and discarded it. He took another, ripped apart the packaging, and screeched in victory when he seemed to locate something. "A-HA!" he cried, and pulled a tiny tugboat out from the box. He trotted over to Raven with a sly glint in his eye and leaned against the table, casting a shadow over her. "Looky here, Raven! I found a prize! And what have YOU accomplished lately? Hmm? I didn't think so." he laughed and pretended to sail the boat in the air. Raven didn't even glance up from her book. "Y'know, you should really save the box tops and mail them in." she uttered monotonously, as always. "And why is that?" Beast Boy inquired. Raven looked at him, sighed, and slammed her book shut. She bent over and heaved an enormous life-size accurate model of the U.S.S INTREPID navy air carrier onto the table. Surprisingly, the table didn't shatter into splinters beneath the incredible weight. "THAT'S why." Raven replied, a victorious smirk crossed her lips. Beast Boy's jaw dropped as he gazed up at the immense ship. He glanced at his tugboat, grinned stupidly, and shoved it in his pocket.

"Morning, team!" Robin greeted upon entering the kitchen, but stopped short as he gazed up at the naval air carrier that he was certain was not in the room the day before. "Uh, guys? Why is the U.S.S INTREPID on our kitchen table?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. "Oh, just proving a point." Raven said, and shoved it back under her seat, making it once again completely invisible. Robin shrugged and made his way to the counter, where Beast Boy was neatly cutting off the box tops he had previously torn and shooting scornful glances at Raven. He saw Robin pass him and cocked his head. "Say, Rob, you look different. Did you lose weight?" he asked. "Oh yeah, Beast Boy, cause everyone knows I could stand to lose a couple of pounds." he replied, indicating his skinny yet slightly muscular form. Cyborg glanced back at him and cocked his head as well. "Naw, he's right, something's different about you, man." He pondered for a second, before the answer dawned on his metal cranium. "Hey, where's your cape?"

"Good morning to you all! I trust you had a delightful sleep and are prepared to greet the day with exuberance!" Starfire said brightly upon entering the room. She casually strolled to the counter and picked up an apple, polishing it on her shirt. She prepared to take a bite when she realized every set of eyes in the room rested on her. Her gaze shifted from one another, in a quandary. "Why is everyone looking at me? Am I about to eat wax fruit?" she questioned, and looked to Robin for an answer. She was shocked to see he was cantankerous, pale and wan, his mouth dangling limply open. Starfire scratched the back of her neck nervously, when she felt something velvety attached to her shirt. She squeaked a little, immediately knowing what it was. All eyes were wide and gaping at this unusual turn of events. Starfire feigned a hearty laugh and removed Robin's cape.

She approached Robin and held it out to him, with a broad, phony smile. "Here, Robin. You had asked me to wash this for you yesterday, remember? You see, it is clean and fresh!" Her smile remained plastered to her face. Robin's color slowly began to return to his cheeks. She was LYING for him? "Now there's a girl to hold onto." he thought as he suppressed a smirk. He stuck out his hand and took the yellow cloth. "I hope you do not mind that I was wearing it. It was...um..it was quite chilly in the washroom from last night's storm, and I-I thought it would keep me warm." she stammered slightly, still not releasing her façade. Robin fastened the cape around his neck, completing his uniform. "Not at all, Star. I'm glad you could help me, I never did understand those fabric softeners!" he chucked, making sure everyone had bought their act. Raven shrugged and reopened her book while Beast Boy laughed at everyone's overreaction and resumed his snipping. Robin turned back to Starfire, and mouthed a "Thank you!!" to her. She beamed and nodded, as if to say "Happy to, that's what friends are for!" She took a large bite from her apple with a 'crunch' and ambled over to Beast Boy to make small talk.

Cyborg's eyebrow still remained perched in a high arch. He abandoned his failed attempts at pancakes and snatched Robin by the arm, and Robin watched in horror as his freshly-made toast spiraled downward, landing butter-side down on the linoleum. "HEY!" he objected, but Cyborg continued to tow him to the other room. "We need to talk." he said simply, and finally released his arm when they were out of earshot. "What the hell was that?" he asked briskly. Robin shrugged. "I have no idea what you mean." he replied, crossing his arms over his chest. "Aw, don't pull that with me, man! Look, you may be able to pull the wall over Beast Boy's eyes, and Raven doesn't give a damn either way, but you can't fool me!" He held a finger up to Robin's face, but he just leaned back. "Seriously, what are you talking about?" he asked again innocently, pushing Cyborg's immense finger out of view. Cyborg rolled his eyes and groaned at his friend's stubbornness. "Alright, let's look at facts; one-Starfire wanted to hang out with someone, but everyone was busy. Two-Last I checked before I shut down, you were alone in the gym. Three-Both you AND Starfire woke up late. Four-You came to breakfast without your cape, and you never, EVER take off your cape! And five-STARFIRE WAS WEARING IT! What more proof do I need?!" he cried, a bit louder than he had intended. "Proof of what?" Robin asked with a smirk.

Cyborg screamed and shot a sonic cannon ball at the ceiling in frustration. It left a huge gaping hole and a large piece of plaster fell to the ground and broke in two. "I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU NO MORE DEATH-FIGHTING! WE HAD AN AGREEMENT!" Raven called from the kitchen, annoyance dripping off her voice. "WE'RE NOT DEATH-FIGHTING! LEAVE US ALONE!" Cyborg replied in a booming voice, and then resorted back to hush tones to speak with Robin. "Look, either you stop playing dumb or next time that shot is aimed at you, death-fighting agreement or not. Just tell me what you and Star did last night!" Robin scoffed and strolled to the couch, resting his arms lazily over the ends. "C'mon, man, I'm your best bud! Why won't you tell me?!" Cyborg whined. "Because you're a big-mouth who will blab whatever news you can get." he said, then his jaw dropped and he smacked himself in the forehead. "Great, real smooth. He'll never suspect a thing now." he thought sarcastically. Cyborg smirked and hopped over the sofa, crouching in front of Robin. "NOW we're getting somewhere! So c'mon, what happened?!" "Nothing!" Robin cried, crossing his arms over his chest and rising to return to the kitchen.

Cyborg groaned, trying to think of a possible plan, when it struck him like a bolt of lightning. He grinned evilly as a sly look took over his features. "NOW I see what's going on." he said, the grin refusing to vanish. Robin froze in place and slowly whirled around to face the metal man. "You like her." he mused teasingly. Robin's eyes widened and his mouth opened as if to say something, but nothing came out. "N-N-No I don't!" he stammered finally. Though he did feel a tad guilty lying about his visible feelings for Starfire, the last thing he wanted was Cyborg taunting him about it 24/7. "You're stuttering." Cyborg said with a laugh. Robin swallowed in hopes of possibly digesting his giveaway. "No I'm not." he said, though it took all his strength to suppress to stammer that so desperately wanted to squeeze out. "Face it, Robin, you're in LUUUUUUUUUU-VVVVVV!" he said with a babyish tone. He made his eyes giant and seemingly moist and cupped his hands together over his heart, jutting out his lips and making kissing noises. Robin's cheeks flushed and he lowered his head, weakly responding with a typical "Am not!"

Cyborg laughed loudly and relaxed against the couch, leaning over it with one hand supporting him. "Don't deny it man, you've gotta face facts; you're a sucker for a girl with blue eyes." Robin leapt up and pointed a finger a Cyborg menacingly, grinning gloriously. "HA! Her eyes are green!" he declared. Cyborg mimicked Robin's exact actions. "HA! You just proved my point!" Robin balled his hands into clenched fists. "DAMN IT! Will the mind games ever cease?!" he exclaimed at the ceiling. He sighed, defeated, and slouched onto the couch with his head in his hands. "So now you know." he muttered despondently. Cyborg joined his friend on the sofa. "Well, I kinda always had a notion." he admitted. Robin looked up, surprised. "Really? How?" he questioned. Cyborg rolled his eyes and brought his elbows to his waist but let his forearms flap out, making him look very much like a retarded duck. He kept his palms up and spoke in a high falsetto voice. "Oh, Starfire, I'll help you cook! Starfire, that's not how you do it, I'll show you! Let me explain something to you Starfire! Have some of my cotton candy, Starfire! Come on the ride with me Starfire! No one could ever take your place, Starfire!" he concluded, and reverted back to his normal position. Robin was steaming and glared at his friend with gritted teeth. "I do NOT sound like that." he declared, but much to his dismay, his voice cracked on his last word, giving him a high-pitched sound.

"Damn puberty."

Cyborg laughed again and patted Robin on the back. "So seriously, tell me what you guys did last night. Or, as I like to refer to it, doing the hibity-dibity!" he said with a sly smirk. Robin groaned and began to get up. "You know, I knew you'd act this way, just forget it." he said, and tried to walk away. Cyborg grabbed his arm and threw him back into the couch. "Aw, man you know I'm just kidding around man! Tell me! I won't mock you...much." Robin scoffed, and suddenly realized Cyborg wouldn't stop pestering him until he got his way. It was a lose-lose situation. He sighed, and reluctantly began his tale."

"Well, as you said, Starfire wanted someone to hangout with her. After everyone else was busy, she found me in the gym, you know, training and stuff..."

"The punching bag hit you again, didn't it?"

"Just shut up and listen. Anyway, as I was saying, before I was so RUDELY interrupted, she asked me to hangout, so I suggested a movie..

"Was it a loooooooove movie?"

"No, it was "'The Naked Gun..'"

"Y'know I heard that movie's one of the biggest aphrodisiacs know to man.."

"Do you wanna hear the story or not?"

"Sorry, sorry. Continue."

"Ok, so we went to my room and I popped the tape in. We sat on my bed-say anything and I'll shut you down permanently, I swear-and started watching it. She seemed to like it a lot, she was laughing...she's cute when she laughs..."

"EW! Stick to the story, ok Romeo?"

"Heh, sorry. Anyway, we were about halfway through it when I noticed she wasn't laughing anymore. So I looked down and she had fallen asleep...uh..on me." He blushed slightly at the memory and continued. "She was between my legs-again, say anything and its nighty-night-with her head on my chest. At first, I didn't really know what to do, I was kinda confused, I mean I didn't want to move her..cause she looked so peaceful and I-um-didn't want to wake her up."

"Please. I can think of 10 reasons right now why you wouldn't want to move her."

"So I let her lay there and I kinda started playing with her hair..."

"Ooh, getting fris-kay!"

"..when she started stirring. I panicked and nearly fell out of the bed. She wrapped her arms around my waist and pulled herself in closer." he unconsciously started smiling, and quickly forgot Cyborg was even there. He was reliving the moment, not caring who heard him. "She seemed to gently nudge herself deeper in my chest. God, she smelled so good, like flowers, thousands of them. I heard her murmur something faintly. She said...I smell like sweet red plums and grilled..cheese..sandwiches. Then she sighed and fell back asleep. It felt so good to hold her in my arms, I took off my cape and covered her with it like a blanket. Then I put my arms around her and pulled her in and I guess I must have dozed off. She woke me up the next morning, and I, well, I flipped out, forgetting why she was there in the first place. But before I did, for one solitary second, I didn't care; I only cared about her and how unbelievably wonderful it felt to wake up with her, having her be the first face I see in the morning. So, she smiled at me and left, and I guess my cape caught on her somehow. And that's it."

Cyborg looked at Robin in awe, and his face seemed to be basking in a warm glow. They were silent for a moment, before Cyborg bit his lower lip to contain cracking up. "Must....resist....urge...to.....make fun of!" he joked, and soon howled with laughter as Robin glared at him, his glow gone. "You're so immature." he muttered, and got up to finally eat his breakfast. Cyborg groaned and turned around, resting his elbows on the back of the chair. "Man, chill! I'm sorry!" Robin turned around to face him yet again. "Does she know?" he asked. "Robin cocked his head and raised his eyebrows. "Know what?" Cyborg smacked himself in the face and mumbled something under his breath. "Does she know you're positively, loop-de-loop, head over heals, out of the park, wants-to-travel-Europe-together, make-and-name-a- perfume-after-her, madly in LOVE?!" he cried, exasperated. "NO! Of course she doesn't! Like I'd actually be able to tell her." Robin grumbled, mentally kicking himself for being such a coward when it came to matters of the heart. "THEN WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" Cyborg exclaimed, throwing his hands in the air.

"YOU FORCED ME TO COME HERE, YOU DUMB-ASS!" Robin spat back. Cyborg took a deep breath and continued. "Look, all I'm saying is you should just spend more time with the girl. Get to know her a little better. Make her comfortable around you. That way, when you finally are ready to confess, you won't be such a wimp." Robin looked up at him. "You really think that would work?" he asked, ignoring the back-handed insult. Cyborg shrugged. "How should I know? In case you haven't noticed, I'm still flying solo when it comes to the ladies. I'm just giving you my honest opinion. I think it could work." he said with a lopsided grin. Robin returned it and prepared to enter the kitchen, but he stalled and looked back at his friend over his shoulder. "Uh, Cy? This kinda goes without saying but, you're not going to..." "Say anything about how you've fallen for Starfire like a ton of bricks? Nah, I wouldn't do that to ya bud. But just incase, you better not piss me off anytime soon." he said with a smirk. Robin laughed and continued to the counter, where he hopped into Beast Boy's and Starfire's conversation.

Cyborg strolled in a few seconds later, snickering slightly, and walked up to the oven to attempt another batch of pancakes. As the previous 8 did, they charred, but at least this time he didn't set them on fire. He glanced over at the threesome over at the counter and sniggered to himself. Starfire had managed to waste no time in flirting with Robin. She giggled every 3 seconds, played with her hair, and constantly smiled, and Robin loved it. He lapped up every ounce of attention she gave him. Cyborg decided to rattle things up, merely because he loved to taunt people at every opportunity. "You know what? I feel like some grilled cheese." he said, repressing his urge to laugh. Robin whipped his head around and glowered at him, the eyes of his mask narrow. Raven looked up at the metal man from across the room with a half confused, half "what-in-the-name-of- all-that-is-holy-are-you-talking-about" look. "Its 10:35. Why would you possibly want grilled cheese at this hour?" she asked coldly. Cyborg shrugged and chuckled, enjoying knowing something everyone else didn't.

Starfire glanced over at him as he dug through the refrigerator. Something about the way he said that sounded vaguely familiar. She assumed it had something to do with what she and Robin had done last night; Cyborg would not have dragged him out of the room unless he suspected something. She remembered watching the movie, Robin sitting up in the corner and saying she could stretch out on the bed if she needed more room, and scooting in slightly closer to him. Then it all went black. The next recollection she has is waking up...in his arms. She smiled to herself at that and preoccupied herself with the core of her apple. Cyborg popped up, grinning again.

"Hmm, can't make grilled cheese without cheese, and it seems like we're PLUM out!" he finally laughed and held his sides in his fit, proud of his pun. Beast Boy scrunched up his brow in mystification. "Uh, did I miss something?" he asked. Starfire pondered; she knew that sounded familiar as well, but where did she hear it from? Suddenly it dawned on her. Her mind flashed back to last night where she saw herself cuddling next to a surprised Robin. "Mmmm..you smell like...sweet red plums and...grilled cheese sandwiches." she watched herself say. Her mind shifted back to the present tense and she slowly brought a hand to her mouth in realization. Her cheeks felt like they were on fire, and she quickly rose and bustled out of the room, muttering an "I must go." with her head bowed. Cyborg was rolling on the ground in his own cackling, he guffawed and snorted so much it was a shock he could even breathe. Robin scowled angrily at the boy and bounced out of his chair. "Don't you have pancakes to burn?" he shot at the metal man, and took off after Starfire. Cyborg rose abruptly, grumbled something and set off in another direction, leaving Raven and Beast Boy to exchange bewildered looks.

Starfire had bolted immediately from the kitchen and sped down a corridor where she, when she was sure she would not be caught, slumped against a wall and slid down it. How EMBARASSING. Robin probably thought she was some love-sick little girl and would want to be as far away from her as humanly possibly. She brought in her knees and moaned, letting her head drop on them. "Hey." she heard someone say. She lifted her head and saw him standing there, but..why? Didn't he hate her? Didn't she push her feelings too far? He sat dangerously close to her, their hips barely brushing together. "Robin, I am so-" he cut her off before she could finish. "Star, I was thinking, we had a really great time last night, wanna do it again? I mean, if you want to." he said with a tiny smile crossing his face. She looked up at his face, and beamed. He didn't hate her! He still wanted to hang out! She nodded vigorously and replied, "Yes!" Thinking she may have sounded too anxious, she cleared her throat and spoke in a calmer tone. "I-I mean, yes, that sounds enjoyable, I would love to." Her smile was intoxicating, it infected Robin and he beamed back. "Cool, I-I guess I'll see you later then, I've still got to eat breakfast." With that, he rose and continued back to the kitchen, stealing one final glance of her over his shoulder. Starfire watched him go, and felt her heart skip a beat when she did. She hugged her knees tightly, buried her head in them, and squealed in pure delight.
