~*~ Hi again! Let me just say I'm sorry, I uploaded the wrong document last
night..SORRY!!! I bet you're thinking WHOA! How'd she get the chapter up so
fast? Actually, you're probably not thinking that, but I'll tell you
anyway. Truth be told, I already wrote almost this entire chapter. I
originally wanted to put it in chapter 3, but I thought it was WAY too big
a step to take so soon, so I saved it and put it in a new document and
promised myself to use it later. Yup, that's it ^-^ Also, for those of you
curious, the girl from the carnival is NOT the OC I made up for Cyborg. I
just thought sticking her in would be funny. I JUST SAW NEVERMORE!!!!
OMG!!!! IT WAS SO GOOD!!!! I loved all of Raven's sides, her happy one was
just so cute! And did you see all of the BB/R hints!! AGH IT WAS GREAT!!
Stupid Cyborg interrupted their 'moment' in the mirror. *growls* I must
admit, tho, I was a little disappointed when Robin switched on the romantic
movie and Starfire wanted to check on Raven. I was like "COULD YOU PLEASE
BE SELFISH FOR ONE SECOND?! STOP CARING ABOUT OTHERS AND SNUGGLE WITH HIM
ALREADY!!!" Hehe, lot of fun quotes in that episode, like when Raven
randomly burst out laughing and Starfire said, "I am not fully accustomed
with your Earth ways yet, but that was..just plain freaky, correct?" MAJOR
kudos to Tara Strong, Raven's V/A, on a brilliant job. I love her, she's so
great ^-^ Well, I could ramble on about the show for hours, so let's press
on before I do. Oh yeah, there's a song in this chapter, too. (I know it's
weird to put 2 songs in a row, but like I said, this was written WAY
before.) It's by Norah Jones, and it's really pretty. It reminds me of my
ex-boyfriend, but in a good way, not in the he-dumped-me-while-I-was-on-
vacation-through-email-and-then-played-2-of-my-close-friends way. *growls*
Grr, he annoys me, feel free to torch his house. *grins and hold up
flamethrower* Anywho, here's your chapter, fresh from my mind to your
screen! ~*~
"Ok, so if you were trapped in a cave with a sword, a hungry lion, or a cliff, which would you choose to kill yourself with?" Cyborg looked up at the green boy like he just told him he was gay. "What the hell are you talking about?" he asked him. Beast Boy shrugged. "Dunno. Just making conversation." he said nonchalantly. Raven, from across the room, rolled her eyes and shook her head. She turned back to the boys, a warm cup of herbal tea resting in her hands. "Where did Robin and Starfire go?" she inquired, sipping casually at the hot liquid. "They said something about going on a walk, which I think is code for SEEEEEEEEX!" Cyborg joked. It wasn't long before Raven's beverage had found its way directly to Cyborg's lap, and he leapt up screaming in pain as he swatted away the hot mixture, panicking. "AH! MY MANHOOD!" he shouted, and rubbed his scalding legs as the tea slid gracefully down his metal exterior. "It slipped." Raven said innocently, glancing upward. Beast Boy laughed loudly. "I've said it before and I'll say it again; what IS it with you and the sexual innuendos?!"
Night had fallen, bringing with it thousands of tiny diamonds sparkling off in the distance. On the rooftop, Robin and Starfire were strolling together in silence. They both stopped at a bench and sat together, their thighs bumping into each other. "Sorry." they both said at the same time, and then both giggled nervously. Crickets sang their symphony as a lone cloud drifted over the tower. "So, what do you want to do?" Robin asked after a long pause. Starfire smiled a little and looked up with her pea green eyes sparkling. "Well, there is something I had longed to do for some time now.." she whispered timidly. Robin looked over at her and leaned in, anxious to hear what it was. "I..I do not know how to dance." she said with a bashful grin. Robin tugged at his collar uneasily and coughed.
"Oh-uh...I'm not very..good at it-and there's metal tips on my shoes, you know, as a warning. I've kinda got 2 left feet." Starfire furrowed her brow curiously and leaned over to peer down at the soles of his shoes. "Your feet both seem to be proportioned, and if they were both left, would you not walk in circles?" she solicited. Robin chuckled softly. "No, it's an expression, Star. It means I can't dance very well. And I don't want to hurt you, you know, by stepping on your feet." he answered. Starfire nodded, her facial features accepting the answer, but her eyes said something entirely different. They were terribly disappointed, with the lost glint of hope she possessed just a moment ago. They lost some of their luster, and it made you feel horrible just looking in them. He couldn't stand it, it drove him crazy. Robin rose, cleared his throat, and extended his hand. "You know, old habits can be broken. Starfire, would you like to dance?" he asked elegantly. She looked up brightly and nodded, accepting his hand and let him gently lead her to a more open area.
He took both of her hands for a second, and muttered to her, "Wait right here." He sped off to the Tower wall, where, conveniently, a stereo had been installed. He hit play, not caring what song was on and returned to her. He stood in front of her, awkwardly holding his hands out to guide her. "Ok, so you put your arms-uh-on my back, just slip them under my arms." She did so, and reddened somewhat at the position she held him in. Robin gulped audibly and uncomfortably held his arms out to size up however he was to hold her. "Ok, good..now I...put my hands on your hips..." He thought by saying it out loud he would be able to command his body to obey him. His theory backfired. "On your hips." he repeated. Still nothing. "That's where they go-on your hips...there...yup..hips..that's where they go." He slowly brought them down and settled them on her narrow waist. He seemed to relax once he did so, and loosed up in her arms. Perfectly timed, the song began to play.
~It's not the pale moon, that excites me,
That thrills, and delights me~
He kindly swayed her to the mellow beat of the music. They were silent for a moment, before Star winced as Robin stepped on her foot, as predicted. He flushed a little and looked down at her feet. "Sorry...I told you I was bad at this." he said with a half-hearted smirk. She looked up at him and giggled. "It is alright. In all fairness, you did warn me, after all." His arms instinctively tightened around her slender form, protecting her from any interference. He felt her finger with his cape, and he smiled.
~ Oh no,
It's just the nearness of you.~
Starfire tightened her grasp on Robin, her hands now resting backwards on his shoulders. Robin rubbed his thumb along Starfire's exposed curves. Star could feel her heart pounding in her chest, banging greatly, she was sure Robin could hear it. Robin, on the other hand, was so wrapped up in his own thoughts, he could barely realize Starfire was there. "I am such an idiot, I'm doing this all wrong, she's never gonna wanna see me again! How can I possibly screw something so simple up? I'm such a..." Then he looked down at her, bathing in the soft moonlight, her eyes shimmering like 2 emeralds, and realized how beautiful she really was.
And he stopped thinking completely.
~It isn't your sweet conversation,
That brings this sensation,
Oh no, its just the nearness of you.~
Starfire, gazing up into Robin's masked eyes, found she felt something she had not felt in so, so long. She felt at home. It didn't matter where she was, as long as he held her in his arms, she was safe from anything. She rested her head on his shoulder, and closed her eyes, envisioning what it would be like to stay that way forever. Robin pulled her in closer, afraid if he let go she would vanish. He gently combed the tips of her red hair with one of his gloved hands. She was so close, everything was so perfect, he thought it was all a dream, a fluke in his subconscious. He inhaled, hoping to take in every last essence of this moment to keep with him. He closed his eyes and rested his head against the top of hers.
~When you're in my arms,
And I feel you so close to me,
All my wildest dreams come true.~
Starfire and Robin were very close now, as close as 2 people could dance. They stilled swayed to the sweet melody, when Starfire surprised Robin by pulling her head away from him. Her vision blurred, and everything seemed to spin, the only true thing remaining being Robin, and the way he held her so tenderly, how he smiled at her gazing at him, how wonderful he was. The one feature that struck her was his mask, and she found herself slightly perturbed staring into it. Eyes, to her, were a window to the soul; you could know a person's entire life, their hopes, dreams, desires, all by a glance inside. It was her deep desire to know what Robin was thinking, to get a peek inside his mind, even for a moment. But the black and white v- shaped cloth created a barricade, and she feared she'd never know. Unintentionally, she somehow blurt out, "What color are they?" Robin raised an eyebrow curiously. "What color are what?" he replied. Starfire mentally kicked herself, she had to carry through with the conversation now, it had begun and there was no way to turn back. "Your eyes." she said, hiding the hint of eagerness in her voice. "As long as I have known you, you have worn your mask, and not removed it once. I have always been curious of the color of the eyes hidden behind it."
Robin smiled at her, her inquisitiveness was one of her many adorable features. "Oh, is that all? Well, I can tell you, they're....um...they're...uh-I think they are..." The words escaped him, and he wracked his brain for the answer to the question, but try as he may, he could not find it. His smile crooked, embarrassed. "Heh, as weird as this is, I-erm-can't remember. I guess I've had my mask on for so long I just, well, forgot." Starfire giggled and pulled herself in closer to him. He smiled back, but it faded a little as he thought of something. "Hey..why don't you tell me?" Slowly, he lifted an arm away from her waist, and brought it to his face. Gingerly, he pealed away the mask, his eyes squeezed shut the entire time. It stung, like removing a band-aid, but he didn't really mind. When he finished, his eyes remained closed, and he wrapped his arm back around Starfire's slender form, the mask balled up in his fist. Starfire noticed a faint white outline of where the mask used to be. And his eyes flickered open.
It was as if the entire world was dark and bleak until that very moment, and then luminosity streamed outward to enlighten the world and all who resided in it. Starfire found herself staring into 2 perfect blue eyes, a priceless pair of flawless sapphires, a cloudless sky trapped inside Robin's head. She was breathless. After a pause, Robin could wait no longer. "So, what color are they, cuz, in case you haven't guessed, I can't see them." he whispered jokingly, and crossed his eyes in a mock effort to literally try to see them. Starfire giggled, but quickly found herself drowning in the ocean that was Robin. "They are blue." she muttered, awe etched in her voice. "A pristine, incredible blue...that could have no equivalent on this Earth." Robin smiled and breathed deeply, pulling, if it were possible, Starfire in even closer than before. Their bodies were pressing gently against each other's, and without realizing it, Robin leaned his head towards Starfire, resting his forehead on hers. She closed her eyes, adjusting her head until they were cheek-to-cheek, and thanked God for creating someone so amazingly wonderful.
~I need no soft lights
To enchant me.
If you would only grant me~
It was magic, the 2 of them together. Nothing would ever be able to separate them, and even if some evil scheme plotted by an insane villain managed to pull them apart physically, it would not matter, because the bond between them was a powerful, unspeakable force that could not be broken by any means.
~The right,
To hold you ever so tight~
A lone breeze swept Starfire's long, blazing hair, enveloping them like a thick, soft red blanket. Robin felt her mellifluous tresses graze against his cheek, and he smiled. At that moment, life was perfect. There were no wars, no sadness, no pain, simply him and Starfire holding each other, and dancing.
~And to feel in the night~
Robin tilted his head back, and with that her olive eyes opened. They were like glimmering pieces of sea glass washed along the shore, catching the attention of the bright sunshine only making it sparkle more. Their breathes were linked, tangled together in an invisible mess. Starfire soaked up even possible ounce of the moment, especially the cerulean gems cast in Robin's face. She took those in most of all, knowing somewhere in the back of her mind she would never see them again. She sighed, it was a pessimistic thought, and it was a shame. "You really have beautiful eyes, Robin. It is sad you do not show them more often." she divulged unwillingly, but at that moment, she didn't care. He deserved to know. Robin said nothing and moved his hand to the back of her head, holding her and gently fingering her mane.
~The nearness of you~
The song concluded after a classic piano break, but neither broke away. They remained, close as possible, staring deeply into the other's eyes. No words were spoken, but it was not uncomfortable, the silence was the only appropriate sound that could have been made. Starfire finally whispered something so faint it could barely be heard, but it reached Robin's ears with ease. "Robin, do you believe in destiny?"
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! The moment was shattered by the deafening explosion erupting from the kitchen. Robin and Starfire were shook apart from the quakes emitted inside the tower, and they both could see a torrent of smoke billowing out of the downstairs window.
"What the hell did you do?!" they heard Cyborg scream.
"Me?! Why are you blaming me?!" Beast Boy shouted in reply.
"Because you were the only one in the KITCHEN, you idiot!" Raven uncharacteristically shrieked.
"Ok, all I did was turn on the gas to heat up some food, and the nail polish remover was sitting there RAVEN-"
"Oh and so now it's my fault?!"
"You are the only one who wears the stuff! Black counts! Anyway, it was open and I guess it spilled..." Beast Boy's voice trailed off, but Cyborg's compensated for it.
"YOU JUST LEFT IT THERE?! ARE YOU BRAINDEAD OR SOMETHING?! WE ALL COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED!"
"But the bottle said 'inflammable,' so I thought it was ok!"
"AUGH! You dense monkey-child! Just because you put and 'in' in front of it DOES NOT mean it's safe!!!" Raven screamed at the top of her lungs.
There was a pause, then a 'smack' could be heard as Beast Boy slapped himself with both hands on his forehead, clutching his head. "OH MY GOD! YOU MEAN 'INFLAMMABLE' AND 'FLAMMABLE' ARE THE SAME THING?!?!" Though it could not be seen, Robin and Starfire both knew Raven and Cyborg had toppled over at Beast Boy's thickness. "Guess we should go help them out." Robin said half-heartedly upon rising. Starfire stood up as well, brushing off the tiny clouds of dust that had gathered on her clothes. They walked to the gaping new hole in the tower, and as they walked, Robin neatly stuck his mask back over his eyes. Starfire did manage to steal a last glance of them before he hid them forever and sighed, disappointed. She looked over at the boy, smiling, recalling everything they had just done. Robin sensed the presence of eyes fixated on him, and faced her. She shifted her gaze downward sheepishly, her cheeks flushing. He laughed and placed a friendly hand on her shoulder. She looked up at it, beamed, and stopped to look at its owner. Another moment of silence as they stood smiling together. Starfire was the one to break the contest. "Perhaps we should go and help them, it is uncertain of what Beast Boy will do next." she giggled and jumped down the gaping hole in the tower. Robin watched after her, grinning, and followed.
~*~ YAY! 1 down, 4 to go! Ah I'm so excited! You guys will LOVE the ending, I can guarantee ^-^ About Robin's eyes, I really have no idea what color they are. Blue was just my hunch, if I'm wrong, well, oh well. I really hope you liked this chapter! Please review! Thank you! See ya around! ~*~
