Ridiculously Romantic
*Warning to all of you! This is a ROBIN/STARFIRE drama/love affection chapter. No, sorry! Lemons will not be taking place here! *Darn* But if you don't want to get upset at Robin, I advise you to turn away. Hehe! Hey y'all! Yeah it's true that Robin may be a bit of an ass, but a good ass all the same. You just have to read and find out. Continue. *
*************************************************************
"One hop, two hop, three hop four, five hop, six hop, and a million more!" A little boy giggled as he hopped on his drawn out hopscotch. "Mommy, come play with me!"
A woman in a short flowy summer dress laughed as she picked up her son and threw him up in the air. A man sitting underneath a cherry blossom tree watched amused as the woman caught the little boy in her arms.
"Molly dear, come bring Robin over here so we can have our picnic." The man called. Molly turned to her husband and smiled. Not saying a word, she took her son's small hand and led him to his father.
"Daddy, have you seen the new belt Mr. Wayne got me?" Chibi Robin chirped. He was bouncing up and down excitedly, showing off his shiny new belt with toy gadgets on his small little waist.
"Hmm, nice!" The father approved. "Are you going to grow up and become a technician genius like your father?" He grinned.
Robin smiled brightly. "Nope!" He opened his mouth wide to speak and posed himself into a position as if he were showing of his muscles. "I'm going to be a super hero!"
"I see, and what will you call yourself?" The father asked a hint of disappointment filled his question. A warning glance from Molly made him smile faintly towards his son.
"I will call myself," Robin paused letting out all the energy in his next word. "NightWing."
"NightWing?" The man asked a bit skeptical. "What made you think of that?"
"Mr. Wayne helped me pick it out!" The adrenaline was just too much for the little boy because he kept jumping up and down.
"And how is it that you see Mr. Wayne so much?" He raised an eyebrow at his wife. She smirked.
"It's because he helps mommy with the thing at her work! She works with him!" Robin beamed, and his father was pleased he knew so much.
"Really?" He chuckled. "Is it possible that my lovely wife has her eye set on another man?" He growled seductively. "I just might have to change her mind!" Pulling his wife close to him, he kissed her neck.
Giggling, Molly tried pulling away playfully. Robin, wanting in on the fun, jumped in with his parents. The father nibbled on her ear, causing her to shriek. "SLATEN DESCROW!" Her voice seemed so distant, like it was fading away.
Everything seemed to drift away, the memory forever burned into his mind, was shattered as Slade came into the picture. Evil cackling came from him as he grinned. "Come to me boy, and we can take over the world as-"
Robin jumped up from his bed and looked at his heads, trying to desperately remember what Slade was going to say. Sweat dripped from the tip of his nose as he panted hard. "I hate sleeping." He fussed.
"Stupid dream never finishes." Boy wonder hit his head hard. "You need to sleep in there!" He yelled in frustration to his mind. "But I know one thing," He sighed. "My father's name was Slaten, Slaten Descrow."
Throwing his head back on his fluffy pillow, he closed his eyes. "I need Nyquil." He muttered before entering his dreamless sleeping state again.
************************************************************* Acting as though she were busy taking sips of her tea, Raven secretly glanced over towards Beast boy, who was cooking his tofu breakfast.
"I love you so much tofu, that I do!" He sang as he started throwing the tofu in the air and catching it in the steaming frying pan. "Tofu is great, tofu is grand, I love the taste because it's so.uh... bland?" He sang horribly.
Cyborg walked in miserably, his head was low and his body slunched. "I can't believe she hasn't called yet! Little Lady, talk to me!" He pleaded to no one. As if on cue, the phone rang.
Cyborg jumped with glee and ran to the ringing telephone. "Hello?"
"Cy baby, its Ayrasia!" The girl squealed. "I am so sorry that I haven't been able to call, my grandma has had me on the run since I visited. But I'm finally back, so lets do something."
Cyborg raised his eyebrows. "Something?"
"Yeah, anything you want." She told him, completely oblivious to the hint of lust in the half robot's voice.
"Anything?" He asked with the same tone. It finally clicked to her and she giggled. "You are such a pervert, can't you be serious for one night?"
"I could, but it would kill me." He chuckled. "Listen, I am so relieved your back Little Lady, I've missed you so much!"
"I know, I missed you too! I will definitely," This time with a hint of lust she continued. "Make it up to you."
"Ayrasia!" Cyborg mocking shockness. "You little devil you! Can't you keep your behavior pure for just one night?"
This question caused Raven to choke on her tea and Beast boy's tofu eggs land with a splatter on the burning stove instead of in his pan. "Eww, that is so gross." Muttered Beast boy.
"So want some tofu Raven?" Beast boy asked the girl sitting in front of him, trying desperately to block out the conversation Cyborg was having with his girlfriend.
Raven scrunched up her nose in disgust. "No thanks, I think I will pass."
"Aw, c'mon Ray, you'll like it I swear!" He insisted. "I made it better, I promise!"
"Tofu is tofu, there is no way of making it taste better. And even if you did, how did you learn to make it better? A cookbook called: A Dummy's guide for Better Tasting Tofu?" She asked.
Beast boy's eyes grew wide. "How, how did you know? I told no one!" He glared at her and accused. "You, get out of my head! I know you can read minds!"
"Beast boy, I believe I would be afraid to enter your mind. And no, it was a good guess, seemed obvious if you want to get technical."
The green changeling stuck up his nose and growled playfully. "It doesn't seem obvious, I bet you searched through my things." He pointed towards her. "You stalker."
"Right B.B, right." She got up and brushed past him gently, sending waves of yearning for her through Beast boy. "I am your stalker in disguise."
Making sure no one was watching her; she leaned in right near his ear. "Emotionless towards you in public, then loving you in the isolation of twilight." She gave him a quick peck and walked silently to her room. Beast boy shuddered in pleasure. "That was hot." He muttered to himself.
*************************************************************
Looking at herself smiling in the mirror, Starfire ran a hand through her long silky (bangless) red hair. She was looking different today, much different. She wasn't wearing her same old outfit today, but jeans and a shirt.
Her pants were a light blue color, and her shirt was a tight, light, pink long sleeve shirt. She was wearing brand new white shoes and she had her new black cotton coat.
She actually decided to put make up on today. Was there a reason why she acted so differently today? No not really, she just wanted to have some fun.
She had put on black mascara that made her eyelashes look full and long. She had light pink eye shadow on with light eyeliner on. Her full rosy lips shined with lip-gloss and her hair was curled lightly at the bottom.
She actually looked very beautiful for a dramatic change, but she looked beautiful no matter what she did to herself. One flaw she had was her speech. If she could just get her words down, then she would be, well, perfect.
Walking down the hall, Starfire tapped lightly with her knuckles against Robin's door. Footsteps were heard from the other side and the door slid open.
A coffee cup was held in Robin's hand, and his eyes seemed to be popped out of his head. "St-Starfire?" He stuttered at her new appearance. Starfire did a twirl then giggled.
"You like Robin?"
"I, uh, you look great!" He responded to her question. He couldn't take his eyes off of her, she was so gorgeous. Her new style was so human like, and it really turned him on.
"Will you accompany me in a midnight stroll through the park tonight Robin?" She asked innocently. Robin knitted his eyebrows. Uh oh, was she suspecting that he actually liked her?
"Um, Star, I actually have business to do here." He watched as Starfire's bright faced drop dangerously low. "Robin please!" She begged. "You've been in there forever, can't you just take time off and have fun for once and a while?"
"Well, I guess I could." He said picking at his chin. "I mean, I guess it wouldn't hurt." He was thinking of ways to cancel the date, but he just didn't have the heart to do it. She seemed so happy at his yes. He nodded and smiled. "Sure Star, I'll go with you. We'll leave around 10:30 okay?"
She nodded fervently and walked away from him. It was 11: 15 in the morning, so he had time, a long time, to freshen up.
Robin walked back into his room and a hand threw his hair distressed. "What am I going to do with her. Better yet, what am I going to do with my feelings for her?"
A slight tingling prick sensation squirmed up his spine and caused it to send him a full blast of sudden chills. Turning his head to the window, only window in his room, he glared at it as if he could see through it. "Is anyone there?"
No response came except a slight whistle from the afternoon wind. Robin walked to the eerie window that was now officially creeping him out. "Talk to me, is anyone there."
"Only if you want someone to be there." A whisper was heard from the window. Robin clenched his fist and started towards the window with one thing on his mind. "Devion."
"You think so?" The whisper came again, except now at his door. Robin swung around and searched for any signs of the demon at the door. "Show yourself." He growled.
"Scared?" Devion's voice leaked with playful venom. His voice was heard near Robin's bed. Eyes glaring at the bed, Robin found no one.
"Stop fucking with me and show yourself." Robin was getting aggravated and that wasn't a good sign. He was messing with the gadgets at his belt. "C'mon Devion, it seems your more scared of me that I of you."
"So you are scared." He chuckled. Devion's running footsteps and mumbling whispers were circling Robin so fast that Boy Wonder had no idea where to punch first.
"Why are you here?" Robin yelled.
"Have a nice day Robin, and don't forget to give Starfire my love." A sudden slicing hit Robin's wall and the whispers of Devion had long lastly grew silent and were now gone. Robin jerked his head towards the slice thud and growled.
A knife was thrown at his wall, with a piece of paper stuck to it. Walking gracefully yet angrily to the paper, he stopped inches away from it and read.
"One Dream. Two words, one name. Three + two letters = five. What does it equal Robin? Patience is a virtue." He growled. "Slade."
Time was passing fast for the teen, too fast for his liking. He had a friend date with Starfire in 3 hours and all he had been doing all day was think of Slade's puzzle.
"If Starfire is going to get dressed, then so am I. Too many girls hound me in my uniform." He grinned sheepishly at the thought of all the girls swooning over him.
(*Seventy 5ive, you better get your mind out of the gutter on this one! ^_^ He's going to take a bath! Boxers..yum..*)
Robin turned the knob for the hot water and waited for it to do so. He looked at himself in the mirror and wondered. 'Am I really that hot?' He grinned. 'Of course I am.'
Staring at his bare tan chest, tracing his shaping 6 pack, and smacked his hard muscled stomach, he smiled. "Working out is the best."
The only garments he had on left were his forest green boxers and his black eye mask and he needed to strip those off before the hot water turned cold. The heat was fogging up Robin's view in the mirror as he stripped from his boxers.
Too bad the bottom half of the mirror was fogged, or else I (*The author*) would explain what he looked like. Carefully, Robin started to slide off his mask, revealing his gorgeous eyes. The last bit of the mirror fogged up before the color of his eyes could reflect back at him.
"HOT!" Robin yelped. The shower seemed so refreshing and he never felt so purified in his whole life. After many hours of hard research on Slade, he just never felt clean. The tiredness he once felt vanished with out a trace.
"Dude, get some clothes on!" Beast boy shielded his eyes from view as he passed Robin walking to his room. Robin had a towel around his waist and his mask was on in position around his sheltered eyes.
"I will, keep your eyes off my delicious body you fruitcake!" Robin yelled humorously. Beast boy's jaw dropped.
"Me, stare at you as if I were some fruitbowl?"
"Why not, your jaw's dropped now. I'm surprised you're not drooling already." Robin picked at his nails casually as if this sort of conversation went on everyday.
"You are one sick bastard." Beast boy grinned. He resumed his walk to his room and Robin chuckled.
After pulling on some white boxers and a white wife beater, Robin searched through his closet for something different to wear. He gathered a pair of dark blue jeans and a cream-colored long sleeve shirt.
He looked at himself in the mirror. He liked it, but he didn't think his mask went well with it. So he changed into a black tee shirt and put on a pair of black sunglasses. In the middle of night?
Grabbing his leather jacket, Robin walked out to the living room and waited for Starfire. She walked out 10 minutes later in a brand new outfit. She was wearing white pants with a tight black square shaped shirt with a long pink coat that stopped at her knees. Her hair was still lightly curled and Robin just could not stop staring at her.
"Ready?" He asked. Not a lot of people could pull off that long pink coat and white pants mixture, but she did, and it looked hot on her.
"Where ya guys going?" Beast boy asked as he pushed violently at the game controller's buttons.
"For a walk." Robin responded opening the door. "Call me if something is up, I have my cell. Call the Titan communicator if something is really up."
Beast boy shook him off. "Just get outta here."
Robin laughed. "We're going, we're going."
*************************************************************
The moon shone brightly as the two teens walked along the lighted path before them. The warm breezes swept pass them, and sent goose bumps over Starfire's neck. "It is not too cold out here, but that breeze just seemed colder that usual."
"Yeah it did." He watched her as she stuck her fingers in her coat pockets and walked with her eyes watching the floor. "What are you thinking about?"
"Oh nothing really. Just how strange the last couple of weeks have been." She smiled weakly.
"You look really nice today Starfire." Robin complimented. Starfire's eyes got bright and her smile widened. "So do you. Why must you wear glasses during the night?"
"Eh, because I don't want people to see my eyes." He hesitated.
"Oh, that's a shame Robin, I bet they are truly a beautiful color."
"I guess. So new topic." He didn't feel comfortable going into detail about his eyes; they were too sacred to him. The only resemblance he had of his mother.
"Robin, a question I must ask you." She faltered; Starfire wasn't really sure how she was going to ask him this.
"Sure, ask away." A smile tugged at his lips.
"How do you feel about," She took a glance at Robin's frightened eyes and her mind turned down the subject. "Um, nevermind what I had to say Robin."
Robin let out a sigh. That was a close one. Had she said anything further, he would have had to explain to her the reason why he couldn't be with her. They continued walking and stopped at the swing set. Rocking back and forth gently, Starfire sighed and stared at the ground.
"Devion paid a visit to me today." He watched her head fling up and emerald eyes met disguised black ones.
"Really? What did he say to you? He didn't try to hurt you did he?" She was on a question spree; they flew out of her mouth as if there were no tomorrow.
"Calm down Star," He chuckled. "He didn't hurt me, he was there on a mission."
"Mission, I don't understand?"
"To give me this." He growled. "And to give you his lo-" He couldn't say it.
Starfire took the little paper from his hands and opened it. She read it carefully, then reread it five more times before questioned him again. "What does this mean? What name could he possibly mean? And what dream?"
"Dream?" Robin thought back. He had, had a dream, but Slade never knew about that. Robin hadn't even talked about it, so how could he have possibly known? "I have no idea what the guy was thinking."
Starfire giggled and threw the piece of paper down and stood up. "Hey, I need that paper!" He reached down to grab the damp paper, but Starfire pulled him away.
"Robin, just forget about Devion for right now, let's just have fun!" She started twirling under the moonlight and stars. Her skin sparkled radiantly and her smile brightened with playfulness.
"You are so funny Star." Robin laughed as she started twirling up in the air, holding on to her arms and closing her eyes just enjoying the feeling of the crisp cool air.
"Not as funny as you look." She giggled at his expression. She had picked up that line from Beast boy. "You want to come down and say that to my face girly?" Robin threatened pixilated.
She stopped her twirling and looked at him and grinned. "How about I say it up here." She grabbed Robin's hand and he flew up with her. "Now what were you saying, you think I look funny?"
"Of course, when don't you?" She sniggered. Robin's hands went to her waist and started tickling her. She squirmed and squealed when he hit her most ticklish spot. Robin made sure he held on to her with one hand so he didn't fall, but that busy one arm never stopped him from torturing her.
Starfire threw her head back laughing and tried to take his hands off of her. When he stopped abruptly, she lifted her head back to him and met face to face with Robin.
"What's wrong?" She whispered faintly, her cool breath hit his neck, and he shivered with pleasure. Robin held her tight to his chest and put his forehead to hers, gazing into her emerald pools.
"Starfire, this is all just for fun right?" He whispered. The adrenaline that was pumping her heart to a fast rate thinned quickly. She had forgot that they were just having fun as 'friends' and not as more.
She looked down and started floating towards the ground. "Oh yeah, yes, I suppose it is." Her voice cracked with disappointment. Robin hated to hear it, but he was getting too close. Although her plump rosy lips were tempting, he just couldn't do it. Not now at least.
"Robin," She had managed to break free from their embrace and stared at him inches away. "Do you have feelings other than the adrenaline rush from always competing with your rivals?"
"Yeah, I do. I just don't express some to the world." He responded, completely oblivious to where this conversation was going. Yet he watched her fumble her fingers in her pockets and search the ground. Her hair was being winded back and her face seemed so innocent.
"What is it when you feel?"
"What do you mean?" He asked perplexed.
"I mean, what do you feel when the powerful emotion of Jealousy strikes you?" She asked.
Robin pondered this for a moment. What had made him jealous? He finally came across an answer. "Devion."
So this was going somewhere. "What about fear?"
"Loosing." He responded flatly.
Starfire sighed. "Hatred?"
Robin growled and glared at her. Actually not meaning to glare at her, but the name that yearned to come out from his tongue made the anger rise in him. "Slade."
Figures. This time she looked up to stare into his eyes. He didn't like where this was going, not one bit. "Love?"
"Lo-love?" There you go he said it. It was a stutter, but he said it.
"Yes, perhaps one time in your life, past or present, you loved something or," She paused and smiled weakly. "Someone."
Robin glared to a harmless tree. He pulled the jacket loosely over his shoulders and sniffed the air. "Not a chance." Starfire's face fell. "Just the word offends me."
"How can you say that Robin? Why? Why are you so afraid? When will you ever show affection towards someone who is more to you than a friend?" She asked bewildered. Why did he shut himself out on the best emotion out there? Love.
Robin advanced on her. She backed up slowly, but stayed still when he softened his motions. He leaned in close to her and whispered, "Never." Starfire shut her eyes in pain as he said this and she heard him walk down the path.
"Robin!" She whined softly.
He spun around quickly, his heart was racing, his mind was losing control and worse? He was hurting the one who cared for him so deeply.
"God, why do you have to spoil things?" His words shot at her like venom. She jumped from the sudden out burst. "I showed you Earth, I gave you friends, I showed you the meaning of fun! What more do you want from me?"
What more do you want from me was the sentence that escaped his tongue too often. Robin was panting and Starfire was staring at him with pleading eyes trimmed in shaky tears readying themselves to fall.
"I want to know how you feel about us!" She softened, but she stood strong. "About, me." Her eyes were swollen lightly, but she shed no tears.
Robin's face was in a painful state. He tried hard to show that he was angry by growling, but his emotions were winning the battle. He shut his eyes in annoyance. "How I feel? Starfire you are getting me too far into this conversation that it is getting dangerous."
He heard her gasp lightly in shock and ache. But he resumed. "Love is merely 'ridiculous', so I would advise you to stop."
He opened his eyes hoping to find an understandable face, but none came. Instead a face filled with anguish and light tears took hold of his sight.
"Ridiculous?" She whispered sadly. With out another word, she shook her head dispiritedly and flew off, leaving him there. He deserved it anyway.
Robin growled in frustration and was tempted to pull out his black spiked hair. He remembered the note Slade left for him and went to pick it up. Reading it again, he thought about the dream Slade was talking about.
It was the one about his father and mother. Slaten Descrow was his father's name and Slade somehow knew it. Slade was up to something, and since Devion was back in the picture with still lusting needs for Starfire, Robin believed that they were plotting something terrible. Far worse than just a simple kidnap. Much worse.

"One hop, two hop, three hop four, five hop, six hop, and a million more!" A little boy giggled as he hopped on his drawn out hopscotch. "Mommy, come play with me!"
A woman in a short flowy summer dress laughed as she picked up her son and threw him up in the air. A man sitting underneath a cherry blossom tree watched amused as the woman caught the little boy in her arms.
"Molly dear, come bring Robin over here so we can have our picnic." The man called. Molly turned to her husband and smiled. Not saying a word, she took her son's small hand and led him to his father.
"Daddy, have you seen the new belt Mr. Wayne got me?" Chibi Robin chirped. He was bouncing up and down excitedly, showing off his shiny new belt with toy gadgets on his small little waist.
"Hmm, nice!" The father approved. "Are you going to grow up and become a technician genius like your father?" He grinned.
Robin smiled brightly. "Nope!" He opened his mouth wide to speak and posed himself into a position as if he were showing of his muscles. "I'm going to be a super hero!"
"I see, and what will you call yourself?" The father asked a hint of disappointment filled his question. A warning glance from Molly made him smile faintly towards his son.
"I will call myself," Robin paused letting out all the energy in his next word. "NightWing."
"NightWing?" The man asked a bit skeptical. "What made you think of that?"
"Mr. Wayne helped me pick it out!" The adrenaline was just too much for the little boy because he kept jumping up and down.
"And how is it that you see Mr. Wayne so much?" He raised an eyebrow at his wife. She smirked.
"It's because he helps mommy with the thing at her work! She works with him!" Robin beamed, and his father was pleased he knew so much.
"Really?" He chuckled. "Is it possible that my lovely wife has her eye set on another man?" He growled seductively. "I just might have to change her mind!" Pulling his wife close to him, he kissed her neck.
Giggling, Molly tried pulling away playfully. Robin, wanting in on the fun, jumped in with his parents. The father nibbled on her ear, causing her to shriek. "SLATEN DESCROW!" Her voice seemed so distant, like it was fading away.
Everything seemed to drift away, the memory forever burned into his mind, was shattered as Slade came into the picture. Evil cackling came from him as he grinned. "Come to me boy, and we can take over the world as-"
Robin jumped up from his bed and looked at his heads, trying to desperately remember what Slade was going to say. Sweat dripped from the tip of his nose as he panted hard. "I hate sleeping." He fussed.
"Stupid dream never finishes." Boy wonder hit his head hard. "You need to sleep in there!" He yelled in frustration to his mind. "But I know one thing," He sighed. "My father's name was Slaten, Slaten Descrow."
Throwing his head back on his fluffy pillow, he closed his eyes. "I need Nyquil." He muttered before entering his dreamless sleeping state again.
************************************************************* Acting as though she were busy taking sips of her tea, Raven secretly glanced over towards Beast boy, who was cooking his tofu breakfast.
"I love you so much tofu, that I do!" He sang as he started throwing the tofu in the air and catching it in the steaming frying pan. "Tofu is great, tofu is grand, I love the taste because it's so.uh... bland?" He sang horribly.
Cyborg walked in miserably, his head was low and his body slunched. "I can't believe she hasn't called yet! Little Lady, talk to me!" He pleaded to no one. As if on cue, the phone rang.
Cyborg jumped with glee and ran to the ringing telephone. "Hello?"
"Cy baby, its Ayrasia!" The girl squealed. "I am so sorry that I haven't been able to call, my grandma has had me on the run since I visited. But I'm finally back, so lets do something."
Cyborg raised his eyebrows. "Something?"
"Yeah, anything you want." She told him, completely oblivious to the hint of lust in the half robot's voice.
"Anything?" He asked with the same tone. It finally clicked to her and she giggled. "You are such a pervert, can't you be serious for one night?"
"I could, but it would kill me." He chuckled. "Listen, I am so relieved your back Little Lady, I've missed you so much!"
"I know, I missed you too! I will definitely," This time with a hint of lust she continued. "Make it up to you."
"Ayrasia!" Cyborg mocking shockness. "You little devil you! Can't you keep your behavior pure for just one night?"
This question caused Raven to choke on her tea and Beast boy's tofu eggs land with a splatter on the burning stove instead of in his pan. "Eww, that is so gross." Muttered Beast boy.
"So want some tofu Raven?" Beast boy asked the girl sitting in front of him, trying desperately to block out the conversation Cyborg was having with his girlfriend.
Raven scrunched up her nose in disgust. "No thanks, I think I will pass."
"Aw, c'mon Ray, you'll like it I swear!" He insisted. "I made it better, I promise!"
"Tofu is tofu, there is no way of making it taste better. And even if you did, how did you learn to make it better? A cookbook called: A Dummy's guide for Better Tasting Tofu?" She asked.
Beast boy's eyes grew wide. "How, how did you know? I told no one!" He glared at her and accused. "You, get out of my head! I know you can read minds!"
"Beast boy, I believe I would be afraid to enter your mind. And no, it was a good guess, seemed obvious if you want to get technical."
The green changeling stuck up his nose and growled playfully. "It doesn't seem obvious, I bet you searched through my things." He pointed towards her. "You stalker."
"Right B.B, right." She got up and brushed past him gently, sending waves of yearning for her through Beast boy. "I am your stalker in disguise."
Making sure no one was watching her; she leaned in right near his ear. "Emotionless towards you in public, then loving you in the isolation of twilight." She gave him a quick peck and walked silently to her room. Beast boy shuddered in pleasure. "That was hot." He muttered to himself.
*************************************************************
Looking at herself smiling in the mirror, Starfire ran a hand through her long silky (bangless) red hair. She was looking different today, much different. She wasn't wearing her same old outfit today, but jeans and a shirt.
Her pants were a light blue color, and her shirt was a tight, light, pink long sleeve shirt. She was wearing brand new white shoes and she had her new black cotton coat.
She actually decided to put make up on today. Was there a reason why she acted so differently today? No not really, she just wanted to have some fun.
She had put on black mascara that made her eyelashes look full and long. She had light pink eye shadow on with light eyeliner on. Her full rosy lips shined with lip-gloss and her hair was curled lightly at the bottom.
She actually looked very beautiful for a dramatic change, but she looked beautiful no matter what she did to herself. One flaw she had was her speech. If she could just get her words down, then she would be, well, perfect.
Walking down the hall, Starfire tapped lightly with her knuckles against Robin's door. Footsteps were heard from the other side and the door slid open.
A coffee cup was held in Robin's hand, and his eyes seemed to be popped out of his head. "St-Starfire?" He stuttered at her new appearance. Starfire did a twirl then giggled.
"You like Robin?"
"I, uh, you look great!" He responded to her question. He couldn't take his eyes off of her, she was so gorgeous. Her new style was so human like, and it really turned him on.
"Will you accompany me in a midnight stroll through the park tonight Robin?" She asked innocently. Robin knitted his eyebrows. Uh oh, was she suspecting that he actually liked her?
"Um, Star, I actually have business to do here." He watched as Starfire's bright faced drop dangerously low. "Robin please!" She begged. "You've been in there forever, can't you just take time off and have fun for once and a while?"
"Well, I guess I could." He said picking at his chin. "I mean, I guess it wouldn't hurt." He was thinking of ways to cancel the date, but he just didn't have the heart to do it. She seemed so happy at his yes. He nodded and smiled. "Sure Star, I'll go with you. We'll leave around 10:30 okay?"
She nodded fervently and walked away from him. It was 11: 15 in the morning, so he had time, a long time, to freshen up.
Robin walked back into his room and a hand threw his hair distressed. "What am I going to do with her. Better yet, what am I going to do with my feelings for her?"
A slight tingling prick sensation squirmed up his spine and caused it to send him a full blast of sudden chills. Turning his head to the window, only window in his room, he glared at it as if he could see through it. "Is anyone there?"
No response came except a slight whistle from the afternoon wind. Robin walked to the eerie window that was now officially creeping him out. "Talk to me, is anyone there."
"Only if you want someone to be there." A whisper was heard from the window. Robin clenched his fist and started towards the window with one thing on his mind. "Devion."
"You think so?" The whisper came again, except now at his door. Robin swung around and searched for any signs of the demon at the door. "Show yourself." He growled.
"Scared?" Devion's voice leaked with playful venom. His voice was heard near Robin's bed. Eyes glaring at the bed, Robin found no one.
"Stop fucking with me and show yourself." Robin was getting aggravated and that wasn't a good sign. He was messing with the gadgets at his belt. "C'mon Devion, it seems your more scared of me that I of you."
"So you are scared." He chuckled. Devion's running footsteps and mumbling whispers were circling Robin so fast that Boy Wonder had no idea where to punch first.
"Why are you here?" Robin yelled.
"Have a nice day Robin, and don't forget to give Starfire my love." A sudden slicing hit Robin's wall and the whispers of Devion had long lastly grew silent and were now gone. Robin jerked his head towards the slice thud and growled.
A knife was thrown at his wall, with a piece of paper stuck to it. Walking gracefully yet angrily to the paper, he stopped inches away from it and read.
"One Dream. Two words, one name. Three + two letters = five. What does it equal Robin? Patience is a virtue." He growled. "Slade."
Time was passing fast for the teen, too fast for his liking. He had a friend date with Starfire in 3 hours and all he had been doing all day was think of Slade's puzzle.
"If Starfire is going to get dressed, then so am I. Too many girls hound me in my uniform." He grinned sheepishly at the thought of all the girls swooning over him.
(*Seventy 5ive, you better get your mind out of the gutter on this one! ^_^ He's going to take a bath! Boxers..yum..*)
Robin turned the knob for the hot water and waited for it to do so. He looked at himself in the mirror and wondered. 'Am I really that hot?' He grinned. 'Of course I am.'
Staring at his bare tan chest, tracing his shaping 6 pack, and smacked his hard muscled stomach, he smiled. "Working out is the best."
The only garments he had on left were his forest green boxers and his black eye mask and he needed to strip those off before the hot water turned cold. The heat was fogging up Robin's view in the mirror as he stripped from his boxers.
Too bad the bottom half of the mirror was fogged, or else I (*The author*) would explain what he looked like. Carefully, Robin started to slide off his mask, revealing his gorgeous eyes. The last bit of the mirror fogged up before the color of his eyes could reflect back at him.
"HOT!" Robin yelped. The shower seemed so refreshing and he never felt so purified in his whole life. After many hours of hard research on Slade, he just never felt clean. The tiredness he once felt vanished with out a trace.
"Dude, get some clothes on!" Beast boy shielded his eyes from view as he passed Robin walking to his room. Robin had a towel around his waist and his mask was on in position around his sheltered eyes.
"I will, keep your eyes off my delicious body you fruitcake!" Robin yelled humorously. Beast boy's jaw dropped.
"Me, stare at you as if I were some fruitbowl?"
"Why not, your jaw's dropped now. I'm surprised you're not drooling already." Robin picked at his nails casually as if this sort of conversation went on everyday.
"You are one sick bastard." Beast boy grinned. He resumed his walk to his room and Robin chuckled.
After pulling on some white boxers and a white wife beater, Robin searched through his closet for something different to wear. He gathered a pair of dark blue jeans and a cream-colored long sleeve shirt.
He looked at himself in the mirror. He liked it, but he didn't think his mask went well with it. So he changed into a black tee shirt and put on a pair of black sunglasses. In the middle of night?
Grabbing his leather jacket, Robin walked out to the living room and waited for Starfire. She walked out 10 minutes later in a brand new outfit. She was wearing white pants with a tight black square shaped shirt with a long pink coat that stopped at her knees. Her hair was still lightly curled and Robin just could not stop staring at her.
"Ready?" He asked. Not a lot of people could pull off that long pink coat and white pants mixture, but she did, and it looked hot on her.
"Where ya guys going?" Beast boy asked as he pushed violently at the game controller's buttons.
"For a walk." Robin responded opening the door. "Call me if something is up, I have my cell. Call the Titan communicator if something is really up."
Beast boy shook him off. "Just get outta here."
Robin laughed. "We're going, we're going."
*************************************************************
The moon shone brightly as the two teens walked along the lighted path before them. The warm breezes swept pass them, and sent goose bumps over Starfire's neck. "It is not too cold out here, but that breeze just seemed colder that usual."
"Yeah it did." He watched her as she stuck her fingers in her coat pockets and walked with her eyes watching the floor. "What are you thinking about?"
"Oh nothing really. Just how strange the last couple of weeks have been." She smiled weakly.
"You look really nice today Starfire." Robin complimented. Starfire's eyes got bright and her smile widened. "So do you. Why must you wear glasses during the night?"
"Eh, because I don't want people to see my eyes." He hesitated.
"Oh, that's a shame Robin, I bet they are truly a beautiful color."
"I guess. So new topic." He didn't feel comfortable going into detail about his eyes; they were too sacred to him. The only resemblance he had of his mother.
"Robin, a question I must ask you." She faltered; Starfire wasn't really sure how she was going to ask him this.
"Sure, ask away." A smile tugged at his lips.
"How do you feel about," She took a glance at Robin's frightened eyes and her mind turned down the subject. "Um, nevermind what I had to say Robin."
Robin let out a sigh. That was a close one. Had she said anything further, he would have had to explain to her the reason why he couldn't be with her. They continued walking and stopped at the swing set. Rocking back and forth gently, Starfire sighed and stared at the ground.
"Devion paid a visit to me today." He watched her head fling up and emerald eyes met disguised black ones.
"Really? What did he say to you? He didn't try to hurt you did he?" She was on a question spree; they flew out of her mouth as if there were no tomorrow.
"Calm down Star," He chuckled. "He didn't hurt me, he was there on a mission."
"Mission, I don't understand?"
"To give me this." He growled. "And to give you his lo-" He couldn't say it.
Starfire took the little paper from his hands and opened it. She read it carefully, then reread it five more times before questioned him again. "What does this mean? What name could he possibly mean? And what dream?"
"Dream?" Robin thought back. He had, had a dream, but Slade never knew about that. Robin hadn't even talked about it, so how could he have possibly known? "I have no idea what the guy was thinking."
Starfire giggled and threw the piece of paper down and stood up. "Hey, I need that paper!" He reached down to grab the damp paper, but Starfire pulled him away.
"Robin, just forget about Devion for right now, let's just have fun!" She started twirling under the moonlight and stars. Her skin sparkled radiantly and her smile brightened with playfulness.
"You are so funny Star." Robin laughed as she started twirling up in the air, holding on to her arms and closing her eyes just enjoying the feeling of the crisp cool air.
"Not as funny as you look." She giggled at his expression. She had picked up that line from Beast boy. "You want to come down and say that to my face girly?" Robin threatened pixilated.
She stopped her twirling and looked at him and grinned. "How about I say it up here." She grabbed Robin's hand and he flew up with her. "Now what were you saying, you think I look funny?"
"Of course, when don't you?" She sniggered. Robin's hands went to her waist and started tickling her. She squirmed and squealed when he hit her most ticklish spot. Robin made sure he held on to her with one hand so he didn't fall, but that busy one arm never stopped him from torturing her.
Starfire threw her head back laughing and tried to take his hands off of her. When he stopped abruptly, she lifted her head back to him and met face to face with Robin.
"What's wrong?" She whispered faintly, her cool breath hit his neck, and he shivered with pleasure. Robin held her tight to his chest and put his forehead to hers, gazing into her emerald pools.
"Starfire, this is all just for fun right?" He whispered. The adrenaline that was pumping her heart to a fast rate thinned quickly. She had forgot that they were just having fun as 'friends' and not as more.
She looked down and started floating towards the ground. "Oh yeah, yes, I suppose it is." Her voice cracked with disappointment. Robin hated to hear it, but he was getting too close. Although her plump rosy lips were tempting, he just couldn't do it. Not now at least.
"Robin," She had managed to break free from their embrace and stared at him inches away. "Do you have feelings other than the adrenaline rush from always competing with your rivals?"
"Yeah, I do. I just don't express some to the world." He responded, completely oblivious to where this conversation was going. Yet he watched her fumble her fingers in her pockets and search the ground. Her hair was being winded back and her face seemed so innocent.
"What is it when you feel?"
"What do you mean?" He asked perplexed.
"I mean, what do you feel when the powerful emotion of Jealousy strikes you?" She asked.
Robin pondered this for a moment. What had made him jealous? He finally came across an answer. "Devion."
So this was going somewhere. "What about fear?"
"Loosing." He responded flatly.
Starfire sighed. "Hatred?"
Robin growled and glared at her. Actually not meaning to glare at her, but the name that yearned to come out from his tongue made the anger rise in him. "Slade."
Figures. This time she looked up to stare into his eyes. He didn't like where this was going, not one bit. "Love?"
"Lo-love?" There you go he said it. It was a stutter, but he said it.
"Yes, perhaps one time in your life, past or present, you loved something or," She paused and smiled weakly. "Someone."
Robin glared to a harmless tree. He pulled the jacket loosely over his shoulders and sniffed the air. "Not a chance." Starfire's face fell. "Just the word offends me."
"How can you say that Robin? Why? Why are you so afraid? When will you ever show affection towards someone who is more to you than a friend?" She asked bewildered. Why did he shut himself out on the best emotion out there? Love.
Robin advanced on her. She backed up slowly, but stayed still when he softened his motions. He leaned in close to her and whispered, "Never." Starfire shut her eyes in pain as he said this and she heard him walk down the path.
"Robin!" She whined softly.
He spun around quickly, his heart was racing, his mind was losing control and worse? He was hurting the one who cared for him so deeply.
"God, why do you have to spoil things?" His words shot at her like venom. She jumped from the sudden out burst. "I showed you Earth, I gave you friends, I showed you the meaning of fun! What more do you want from me?"
What more do you want from me was the sentence that escaped his tongue too often. Robin was panting and Starfire was staring at him with pleading eyes trimmed in shaky tears readying themselves to fall.
"I want to know how you feel about us!" She softened, but she stood strong. "About, me." Her eyes were swollen lightly, but she shed no tears.
Robin's face was in a painful state. He tried hard to show that he was angry by growling, but his emotions were winning the battle. He shut his eyes in annoyance. "How I feel? Starfire you are getting me too far into this conversation that it is getting dangerous."
He heard her gasp lightly in shock and ache. But he resumed. "Love is merely 'ridiculous', so I would advise you to stop."
He opened his eyes hoping to find an understandable face, but none came. Instead a face filled with anguish and light tears took hold of his sight.
"Ridiculous?" She whispered sadly. With out another word, she shook her head dispiritedly and flew off, leaving him there. He deserved it anyway.
Robin growled in frustration and was tempted to pull out his black spiked hair. He remembered the note Slade left for him and went to pick it up. Reading it again, he thought about the dream Slade was talking about.
It was the one about his father and mother. Slaten Descrow was his father's name and Slade somehow knew it. Slade was up to something, and since Devion was back in the picture with still lusting needs for Starfire, Robin believed that they were plotting something terrible. Far worse than just a simple kidnap. Much worse.
