"Words Spoken"
[Author Notes]
=Thoughts=
Robin looked out the window of the bus. He had been deep in thought over the prospect of how his life seemed to be so focused on his superhero activities that his life as a regular teenager seemed almost nonexistent. =Damn it. I don't have any time to live my life without the mask. So many people have become hardened criminals that I'm always on call. Cyborg and Beast Boy are always by my side but there are times I wish they'd stop arguing to help me relax like a normal teenager.= He shuddered as he recalled the events of this morning. The everyday ritual of "Meat vs. Tofu" led to the destruction of the kitchen and not a single person had gotten a bite of breakfast. =Well, maybe by the time we're in college, they'll stop bickering.=
He looked next to him and saw Starfire resting peacefully against his arm. He placed his cape on her and gave a soft sigh. =Starfire. How long have we been together now? A year? That day I confessed my feelings to you, baring my heart out in the open. I was so happy that you felt the same way that I didn't even notice when Beast Boy threw a water balloon at me. I never thought I'd be able to feel the same way again after…= He shook his head as he recalled that faithful day with the black-haired telekinetic.
Flashback
Robin walked down the halls to Raven's room. As he neared the door, his heart started beating faster and out of rhythm. He raised his hand and knocked on the door, his heart still accelerating. Raven opened the door and gave him her usual emotionless stare.
"Hey, Raven. I was wondering if I could talk to you about something." He looked down at the floor, afraid that she would see right through him once he looked into her eyes. "Okay. Come in." she replied. She turned and started walking back into her room when Robin grabbed her hand.
"IthinkI'minlovewithyou." he yelled. Raven slowly absorbed what she thought he just said. =Did he just say that he's in love with me? But… that's impossible!!!=
The light outside her door exploded and Robin was tossed against the wall. Raven flew to the roof as Robin slipped into unconsciousness, his heart bleeding with misery. When he woke, Robin felt rejected and let loose a few tears. He could no longer stifle back the pain he felt. It reminded him of the very first time he heard of his parents' deaths. But luckily, there was Starfire.
Starfire had heard the commotion and flew up to investigate only to see Robin lying on his face with shards of glass embedded in his arm. She quickly took out the glass and applied the first aid kit to Robin's wounds. When Robin had woken, she noticed his tears and asked what had happened. After hearing his story, she kissed his cheek and pulled him into an affectionate hug while repeating "Everything's going to be ok." He listened to those words and felt his heart heal a bit.
EndFlashback
After that moment, Starfire had stayed close to Robin, always cheering him up. For the first few days, Robin didn't show any improvement. But by the 6th day, he let a smile crack across his face. Robin thanked his lucky stars for giving him the chance to feel again. Starfire had reopened the path of love in his heart and this time it led to her. Robin looked outside the window again, watching trees and buildings pass them by and pondering this afternoon's events.
His date with Starfire had been cut short when they bumped into Cinderblock trying to break into the bank vault. Though it took them the better part of an hour, Robin and Starfire finally brought him down. Robin had run circles around Cinderblock, making him lose his balance, while giving Starfire enough time to combine two star bolts into one megaton star bolt. The impact knocked Cinderblock into the city's maximum security prison for super-villains and unusual criminals. With Beast Boy and Cyborg out of town [they were secretly searching for Raven], Robin and Starfire were easily exhausted and decided to end their date early. =At least we held up okay.= thought Robin. Then, his fatigue getting the best of him, he rest his head on the window and nodded of to dreamland.
Meanwhile
Cyborg and Beast Boy walked into the living room and dropped onto separate couches. Exhausted from their daily attempts to locate Raven, they popped on the TV and watched some cartoons. They heard the door open and glanced in its direction. Beast Boy had his jaw on the floor while Cyborg's system began announcing "Warning! Warning! System malfunction imminent!" The figure just gave them a smile and walked away.
"Raven's back!!! And she smiled!!! Am I seeing things?" asked Cyborg. "If you are, then so am I!" replied Beast Boy.
