Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans. I own the guy who "killed" Starfire,
and I own this story, but I don't own Teen Titans. Get it? Good.
A/N: Hehehe.... Last chapter we found out that you all hate me. This chapter I'm hoping to revive that. I won't say any more. Here's chapter 5. Enjoy it; it's the last chapter.
Chapter 5
"How's she doing?" Robin asked the doctor softly [A/N: Ha! And you thought she had died]. The man looked into Starfire's room and watched her for a few seconds before looking back to Robin and smiling gently.
"Why don't you find out for yourself?"
Robin looked at the man for a few seconds silently. Then he stuck out his hand, his face expressionless. As the man shook his hand, he said, "Thank you, sir."
Robin stepped inside the room quietly, shutting the door behind him. There, in the bed with the covers tightly wrapped around her, was his angel. He slowly walked over to her side, sitting in a chair. Her eyes were closed and her breathing was soft. She looked so peaceful and beautiful; he just had to touch her.
He traced a finger over her gentle features, running down her cheek, chin, lips, and neck. He stopped at the large bandage that had been wrapped around her neck, and tears welled up in his masked eyes. "I'm so sorry, Star," he whispered.
He closed his eyes, and dropped his hand, letting the tears fall down his face. He slumped over in his chair, setting his elbows on his knees and covering his face with his hands. He let out a sob, realizing that he had almost lost the one person in the world that he loved. He didn't know if he was crying out of joy that he didn't lose her, or pain of what could have happened had they not taken her to the hospital in time.
Then the lightest touch graced him. A gentle hand was placed on his, and he looked up to see Starfire looking back at him with a light smile. "Do not cry," she whispered.
"Starfire," he breathed, getting out of the chair and on his knees next to her. "How do you feel?"
"I am a little bit dizzy, but I believe that I am okay," she said, her eyes sparkling with joy. "I just cannot believe that I am still alive."
That made tears fall even faster for Robin. "Don't say that," he choked. "I almost lost you, and I can't bear even thinking about what would have happened if I did."
"It is not your fault, Robin," she whispered, concern in her eyes. "What happened, you could not have stopped."
"But I was stupid enough to let you go on your own!" he said, standing up and beginning to pace. "What if you had been killed? What if the guys hadn't hit you and that guy so that you would have died?"
He stopped and looked directly to Starfire, who was watching him patiently, her heart in her eyes. "Star, you would have died not knowing how I feel about you," he said quietly, his voice cracking. "I've been so stupid. I closed you out. I didn't tell you how I really felt about you, and I almost lost the opportunity."
Starfire took a deep breath and said, "You did not know what was going to happen to me. How were you to know that Slade would have had me killed?"
Robin shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. All this time I've kept you out of my world. You've never known the real me. I kept the one person who matters most in my life out of my world. What kind of person does that?"
"You did," she replied, taking him by surprise. "But I do not love you any less. I loved you, even with your secrets, and I still do."
Robin looked at her for the longest time, wondering how on Earth he could treat her the way he did. He went to her bedside once more, keeping his eyes on her. He knelt down and shook his head.
"I don't deserve you," he said.
"However, I want you," she replied softly. "Whether or not you deserve me. I want you, and I want you to want me."
"I do want you, Star," he whispered. He took her hand in his and kissed it gently. Starfire began to giggle, and he looked up at her in curiosity.
"People on Earth have strange beds," she laughed, looking down at the sheets. Robin laughed too, suddenly wanting to kiss her for her light- heartedness.
He leaned over to touch his lips to hers when the door opened, shooting them apart. He looked over quickly and sighed.
"Last time you busted in you were welcome," he said to Raven, Cyborg, and Beastboy. "But now it's just getting to be annoying."
"We saved her life," Cyborg said. "We deserve to come in during your little moment."
"My friends," Starfire laughed as the three came in. "Welcome!"
"Not much color in here, is there?" Beastboy asked, looking at all the white in the room. "They need more variety."
"I came for moral support," Raven said, no trace of a smile on her face. "Wanted to see if you were alright."
"And I brought you a little gift!" Beastboy said with a grin, taking out a small lunch box. "Breakfast! Tofu eggs, tofu bacon, and-," he pulled out a thermos, "-milk!"
Starfire laughed and took the food in her hands.
"I told him that you were sick enough," Cyborg grumbled, "but he didn't listen to me. Sorry, Star."
The five friends laughed and joked with each other for the rest of the day. Even Raven smiled a few times.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A few days later, Starfire was able to go back home, which the Titans celebrated by having real food: spaghetti, salad, and soda. Cyborg did the cooking this time. They all laughed and had a good time once again, basking in what time they had before they would have to fight once more.
After celebrating a few more hours, Starfire announced that she was tired and that she needed to go to bed. After saying their goodnights, everyone separated to their different rooms. Not one word more had been said between Starfire and Robin. Starfire went to her room feeling odd.
She shut the door and leaned against it, deep in thought. It saddened her that maybe what robin had said a few days ago was just in the heat of the moment; that now things would go back to the way it was before. She wondered if Robin had really meant what he said. She wondered if they would ever share another kiss, or if he would bar himself up again.
She went to her bed and lay down, a smile forming at her mouth once again. It didn't matter if he meant it or not at that moment. The words that they had shared were special to her. One day she'd make sure her promise was fulfilled. One day she would make sure Robin would love her again.
Until then, she decided, she would bask in the fact that they had those few moments together.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What Robin had said a few days ago was not lost to him. His heart was filled with yearning to be with Starfire, but he wondered if she was strong enough or if she still needed rest from all the blood she lost. He was walking towards his room when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned to see Cyborg standing there.
"Are you okay?" he asked. Robin looked at him and nodded.
"I'm great," he said with a smile. "I'm glad Starfire's back."
"Glad?" Cyborg said with a raise of an eyebrow. "I thought you'd be more than glad."
"I'm ecstatic?" Robin offered. Cyborg smiled shook his head.
"What are you going to do now?" he asked.
"I was planning on going to bed...." Robin said, looking at Cyborg warily. What did this guy have in mind?
"Starfire's back, and everyone knows how you two feel about each other," Cyborg said, putting his hands on Robin's shoulders. "Maybe it's about time you two had some alone time."
After looking up at Cyborg for a while, Robin finally smiled and nodded. "Thanks, Cyborg."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Starfire was dancing through a cloud, and riding on moonbeams, when she realized that something was pressing against her lips in the real world. She was soon transported back to reality, and realized that this had the oddly familiar feel of Robin's kiss. She was delighted to know that she had been awakened by it.
When she pulled away, she opened her eyes and saw him standing there with a smile. She smiled back.
"Hello, Starfire," he whispered. She wondered what was going on.
"Is it morning already?" Starfire asked.
"No, it's not," Robin replied. "It's only been an hour since you fell asleep."
"Then what are you doing?" she asked, not that she minded of course.
Robin's head swooped down and his lips covered hers again before she could say anything else. "This," he murmured against her lips. "Do you mind?"
She didn't mind at all. And to show that, she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled harder, drowning in the feeling that he gave her.
She finally pulled away and looked into his eyes, "But why are you doing this?"
"I'm welcoming you back," he said. "And there's more." She sat up on her bed and looked at him expectantly. He kneeled in front of her and looked up into her eyes. She looked down, wondering what he had in mind. He took her hands in his gently and pulled them towards him. He led them up to his face, and then to the sides of his mask, where he let go.
"Go ahead," he whispered. Breathlessly she wrapped her trembling fingers around the rims of his mask and tugged gently. Slowly, ever so slowly, she removed the mask from his face. She dropped the mask to the floor, her eyes glued to his. They were the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen. The piercing blue orbs stared back at her and Robin smiled.
"Oh, Robin," Starfire breathed, cupping his face with her palms.
"I'm not Robin right now," he said with joy flashing in his eyes. "I'm Dick Grayson. This is the me that I left behind. And I wanted to share this part of my life with you."
He was about to pick up the mask again when Starfire's hands stopped his. He looked up with surprise, to find her very close to him. "I have never kissed Dick Grayson before. I think I would like to try."
He smiled, as did she, and he pulled her into his arms. Her arms slid around his neck and she covered his lips with hers. He crushed her against his chest and moved his lips against hers passionately and lovingly.
She felt something pressing against her lips, and she opened her mouth, realizing with surprise that it was his tongue. However strange it seemed to her at the moment, she found it to be quite satisfying indeed, and she let out a small groan as she returned the favor to him.
Maybe Earth ways weren't so hard to get used to after all.
