"Finding the Line"
The salty smell of bacon filled the T-tower. Raven was the first to enter the main room. She saw Starfire in the kitchen cooking breakfast.
"Good morning Raven. Did you sleep well?" She asked sweetly as she saw her gothic friend move across the room.
"I slept" Was the girl's response.
Raven walked closer to the kitchen. She saw that Starfire was cooking eggs and bacon. At the counter was a dish with Tofu for Beast Boy.
"That smells really good" Complimented Raven.
"Thank you, I saw it on TV once. It is quite simple to prepare"
"How long have you been up?"
Starfire fidgeted a little. She knew Raven would lecture her for it.
"A few hours"
"A few hours? Starfire it's 8 in the morning"
"Since 6"
Raven's eyes widened.
"Why have you been up since 6?"
"Would you like to start eating breakfast Raven?"
"Starfire why have you been up since 6." Repeated Raven this time more firmly.
"I can not sleep. It is a natural symptom. Do not worry I am fine"
Starfire offered her friend a light smile. The glass that was on the counter shattered into little pieces.
"I'm sorry, I'll clean it up"
Raven was just about to walk closer to clean it out. When Starfire grabbed her wrist.
"Do you wish to talk about it?" Asked Starfire gently.
"I."
"Raven you are the best girl friend that I have ever had. Even though you might find me unpleasant at times. I consider you one of my best friends and I wish for you to know that I will be right here if you need to talk to somebody." She told her.
Raven was a bit surprised, she had called her the best girl friend (I mean friend that is a girl ok) she'd ever had. That was the nicest thing anyone had ever told her, well aside from a few compliments from Beast Boy. She had never pictured herself as the 'best friend' kind of girl. Every time she heard the word it she pictured two girls giggling about nothing and painting each other's toenails.
But here was Starfire telling her she was her friend and all she'd done was be herself. She returned Starfire the smile and decided to tell her. Maybe she would feel better of she discussed her with Star.
"I don't want you to die" Said Raven softly.
Starfire let go of Raven wrist. It was two people now that had told her they didn't want her to die. And strangely she felt loved.
"I do not wish to die either, but I am afraid there is nothing I can do"
"Are you scared?"
Starfire remembered how Beast Boy had asked the same question just hours before.
"Yes, a little"
"What are you most afraid of?"
"Not seeing the people I love ever again," She answered strongly.
The certainty in the red haired girl's voice surprised Raven. It seemed as if she had had a lot if time to think about it.
"We won't forget you"
"I am not dead yet Raven. There is not reason for you to forget me," Star joked with a smile. Raven grinned back. And went to pick up the pieces of the broken glass. Her heart and mind at ease again.
~^~^~^~^~^~^~Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep~^~^~^~^~^~^~^
A sleepy looking Beast boy emerged from the hallway. He saw Raven and Starfire eating calmly on the counter. He inhaled, he smelled bacon. Someone had cooked bacon! What a horrible thing! He walked closer to his friends, his mouth opened and a shocked face. He stood beside Raven who was just about to take the last bite off her bacon stick.
"Ra. Raven how could you?" Gagged Beast Boy
Raven looked at Beast Boy, he had turned into a small green pig. His green sparkling eyes wide and innocent, then she looked at the remains of the bacon. Without a second thought she popped the bacon in her mouth and chewed. Beast Boy's eyes widened in half tears and he sweat dropped.
"You just ate ME you know!" Said the little green pig.
"I know," She answered.
Starfire laughed from the other side of the counter. Doing her best to keep it quiet but failing miserably.
"Do. (Giggle) do not worry Beast Boy. I have cooked a tofu dish for your (giggle) breakfast"
She placed his plate in front of him to see. It was a salad with Tofu and souse. Beast Boy turned into himself again, he smiled when he saw the dish, it really did look good.
"Thanks Star it looks really great"
"Thank you" She answered softly.
She observed as Raven and Beast Boy ate. They looked happy, both of them talking. Beast Boy trying to make Raven feel guilty for eating the bacon. Everyone knew he couldn't of course but he still tried. Another set of heavy steps was herd approaching them. It was Cyborg who greeted them with his usual coolness.
"Morning y'all"
A set of "Morning and Good mornings" went back to him.
"Did you sleep well?" Asked Starfire.
"Yeah, how about you?"
"Yes"
"Umm, what smells so good?" Asked Cyborg, the smell of bacon almost making the half machine titan fly to the kitchen.
"Bacon and eggs that Starfire made" Answered Raven, she was now drinking her natural herbal tea.
Starfire had convinced the girl to try the bacon after 15 minutes of convincing and one very well done puppy face from the emerald eyed titan.
"Bacon and eggs! Oh yes!"
"Not you too Cy! Do you know you're eating this?" Beast boy turned back to the small innocent little green pig.
Cyborg took one look at him, then at his plate sitting on the counter with his breakfast. Without looking at him again he dove for the plate. The poor piggy started to cry, but soon turned back into a boy.
Robin walked into the main room. He's heard yelling and giggling; when he saw where they were coming from he was shocked. All four titans were sitting on the kitchen counter eating and laughing. Starfire at the other end of the counter was laughing with them as if nothing was wrong. The worries from yesterday forgotten.
He approached them quietly. Starfire was the first to see him, her smile widened.
"Good morning Robin"
"Morning" He said suspiciously, he looked at everyone but avoided eye contact with Starfire.
"Do you wish to breakfast bacon and eggs?" Asked Star, not knowing the problem in the sentence.
'Don't look her in the eye; don't look her in the eye. I'll break right here of I do' Thought Robin
"No thanks, I'm not hungry" His eyes avoiding hers at all cost.
"Robin is something the matter?"

Last straw, the day before she'd told everyone she was going to die and now she was asking him if something was the matter? Yesterday his friends were just as sad as he was and he came in this morning and it was all forgotten? Didn't they understand what it all meant? That Starfire, HIS Starfire was not going to be around in six months to make them breakfast or smile at them or ask them what was wrong!?
Whoa, hold your horses, HIS? He loved the girl but that didn't give him proof of ownership over her. He doubted she felt the same way. He realized he hadn't said anything in a while. Four pairs of eyes were focused on him.
"Yo, Robin you ok?" Asked Cyborg waving a hand in front of him.
"How can you all act as if nothing happened!" He yelled.
"Robin I a" Starfire began but Robin cut her off.
"NO Starfire! You're not all right. Nothing is all right, you're going to die and there's nothing we can do about it! How can that be all right? How can anything be all right? What did you ever do to deserve this? I'll tell you what NOTHING! You won't be here in six months and you take it as if it's nothing! You're just laughing and joking like its not going to happen, well I have news for you all IT IS! An"
"STOP IT!!" She yelled.
Robin went silent; all pairs of eyes went to rest on Starfire. They all looked like they were on the verse of tears, they've all thought about it. But it was completely different to hear it out loud. It made it real somehow. Starfire exited the kitchen and went to stand in front of Robin.
"Yes I am going to die, YES there is not much we can do about it. No, I AM all right. I am scared, just like you all are. But I have dealt with death enough to know that I am not supposed to be afraid. I am scared of leaving you all, and I am sorry for causing you any pain. But life does not end because someone dies. Even if that someone is me; I do not wish to spend the following six months sad and gloomy. I wish to laugh and play. I want to be with my friends. That is why I do not want to go back to Tamaran. There is nothing waiting for me there. Only sad memories. That is why I want to sped it with all of you, but if my presence only causes you pain then I shall leave"
Silence once again reined the Teen Titan's tower. Star's words sinking in. Robin did the inexplicable. He approached Starfire slowly until they were millimetres apart. Slowly his arms began to close around Starfire's shoulders. He hid his face on her shoulder and neck protector (The thing she wears around her neck. I don't know the name) It took Starfire a few seconds to react, but soon enough she had her hands around his waist. Small tears running down her cheeks, she hid her eyes on his shoulder.
The titans watched dumbfounded as both teens hugged. Raven smirked; they needed some time alone desperately. They still had things to talk about. The cloaked titan tugged on Beast Boy's shoulder and on Cyborg's arm. Both guys turned around to see Raven. She did a signal toward the door to both of them. Beast Boy shook his head. He wanted to see what happened.
But agreed after seeing the threatening look Raven was giving him. Raven, Beast Boy and Cyborg quietly exited the main room without Starfire or Robin noticing.
"Hey you guys wanna go grab some pizza. They might go over time" Said Cyborg once they were a safe distance away from the main room.
"Yeah they might need a room" Joked Beast Boy. Which earned him a smack on the head from Raven.
"Pizza will be good," She the purple eyed girl. The three titans headed to the door.
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep~^~^~^~^~
Starfire's tears came easily. She was clinging to Robin for dear life. He was doing the same to her.
'I must tell, I must tell him how I feel. That I love him, or else it will be too late.'
"Robin"
"Starfire"
"You first" They said in unison.
"It is all right Robin, you can go first"
The black haired boy stepped away. He looked down at the floor.
"Star there's something I've wanted to tell you for quite a while but I hadn't had the courage to actually tell you."
"Is something the matter?"
He took her hands in his and looked into her eyes. Those emerald eyes that looked as clear and crystalline as water.
"Starfire, you're the greatest person I've ever met. Your sweet and kind and very beautiful"
She blushed.
"But your outer beauty can't compare to how beautiful you are inside. You sacrifice yourself for the people you love and always try to think positively. I guess what I'm trying to say is that. Star I'm in love with you. And I mean head over heels in love. Jump in a frozen lake in love. I love you"
Starfire let out a cry, weather it was of happiness or disgust he didn't know. She threw her arms around his neck nearly choking him.
"I love you Robin, so much it hurts when I am near you. I was so afraid you would not feel the same way"
He was more in shock than what he'd thought. But he hugged her back just as tightly. Unfortunately Star's strength was too much for him.
"Star, need to breathe" He choked out.
She immediately let go letting her hands drop and standing back. She began to inspection him to make sure he was all right.
"I am sorry Robin, I am just so happy" She said with a smile.
After catching his breath he took her hand in his and pulled her closer.
"It's ok, I'm glad your happy"
He grabbed her by the waist and pulled closer until their noses were millimetres apart. He leaned forward, gently brushing his lips with hers. Starfire closer her eyes, enjoying the light touch. It was like a butterfly but soon both sides pressed harder against each other. He teased her lips with his tongue begging for entrance. She was just too happy to accept. Their lips met in an open mouth kiss.
After a few moments both pulled away. Robin's hands still around her waist, Star's hands on his shoulders. She opened her eyes, and smiled widely.
"Wow" She whispered.
Robin chuckled.
"You got that right"
Both started to laugh, but the laughter was soon silenced when they again pressed their lips against the other's. They would be pretty good at it by the end of the day.
~^~^~^~^~^~^~Beep, Beep, Beep,~^~^~^~^~^~^~
Starfire and Robin laid on the couch kissing. Robin half on top of her, his hands at her waist. A noise was herd from outside, a car pulling over. Robin stopped kissing Starfire, and stood up, she groaned in complaint. Missing the extra warmth instantly. Robin chuckled.
"Star I think the guys are home"
Her eyes flushed open. She sat up on the couch.
"What are we going to do?"
"Well" He kneeled in front of her so he could be at eye level with her.
"They can't see us right now"
"Why not Robin?"
"Well to start with. your lips are swollen," He whispered.
He couldn't resist giving her a quick peck on the lips.
She giggled but touched her lips. They felt... bigger.
"Well yours are not much better Robin," She teased back.
He touched his own lips and felt them swollen. Heavier steps were herd approaching.
"C'mon" Said Robin taking Star's arm and leading her to the stairway to the roof.
"Robin where are we going?"
"Somewhere we can be alone" He said, soon enough they reached the roof and Beast Boy's voice could be heard from inside the tower.
"What do you have in mind?"
"How about the beach?"
Her eyes widened and she held her hands together happily.
"Yes! The beach"
Starfire walked closer to Robin, she slid both her hands around his waist. As if hugging him, but quickly lifted both of them into the air.
"This will get us there much faster" She said happily. Robin buried his face in her shoulder.
'She smells so damn good' He thought. Both teens flew into the mid afternoon sky.
~^~^~^~^~^~Beep, Beep, Beep~^~^~^~^~^~
Starfire and Robin landed on the soft sand of the beach. Robin lifted his face; his eyes met her emerald ones. She smiled happily, but didn't let go. Both teens stood holding each other and staring into the other's eyes.
'She's so beautiful. I can't believe she loves me. This is just like a dream, is it really happening? What brought all this happiness?' Thought Robin, his expression saddened as the reason for his happiness appeared. He had just had her and he was going to loose her.
He broke eye contact and stared into the ocean. His hands left her waist. He turned fully toward the water. Starfire in a dazed state was brought back into reality when Robin left her embrace. 'Have I hurt him?' She asked herself mentally.
"Robin are you all right?"
His jaw tightened, his hands closed into fists.
"Starfire. I."
"It is all right Robin" She covered his clenched fist with her hand. Making the hand open to hold hers.
"I can't loose you. I don't want to loose you," He snapped turning around to face her. Her eyes teared. Robin immediately reached for her and held her close.
"I. I a. I am sorry Robin. I should have never told you that I . I love you"
She said in between sobs. Robin felt his heart break, did she mean she regretted loving him? Did she want to forget about all of this? He had to know.
"What do you mean Star?"
"Before, you were be sad because you were loosing a friend. But now you will be loosing a lover and you will hurt more. I do not wish to cause you pain" She cried.
Robin let out a sigh of relief. She wasn't sorry she loved him, just worried about him. Whoa, wait did she just say lover?
"Star what do you mean by lover?"
She sniffed.
"When two people love each other are they not lovers?" He smiled and sighed again.
"Yes, but we use a different word here on earth. And leave 'lovers' for something different"
"I do not understand"
Robin smiled, that was one of the things he loved about her. Her innocence, the way she asked questions. He brought his lips to her forehead and planted a kiss there.
"It's not important Star. And I much rather spend the next six months loving you than just being a friend"
"You were always much more than a friend Robin" She wiped away her tears and smiled softly.
"I am the luckiest guy in this world right now" He whispered to her ear as he buried his nose on her dark red hair.
Star blushed and kissed his cheek lovingly.
'For him, for his love and for my friends I will be happy' She concluded with a smile.

'She's so beautiful. I can't believe she loves me. This is just like a dream, is it really happening? What brought all this happiness?' Thought Robin, his expression saddened as the reason for his happiness appeared. He had just had her and he was going to loose her.
He broke eye contact and stared into the ocean. His hands left her waist. He turned fully toward the water. Starfire in a dazed state was brought back into reality when Robin left her embrace. 'Have I hurt him?' She asked herself mentally.
"Robin are you all right?"
His jaw tightened, his hands closed into fists.
"Starfire. I."
"It is all right Robin" She covered his clenched fist with her hand. Making the hand open to hold hers.
"I can't loose you. I don't want to loose you," He snapped turning around to face her. Her eyes teared. Robin immediately reached for her and held her close.
"I. I a. I am sorry Robin. I should have never told you that I . I love you"
She said in between sobs. Robin felt his heart break, did she mean she regretted loving him? Did she want to forget about all of this? He had to know.
"What do you mean Star?"
"Before, you were be sad because you were loosing a friend. But now you will be loosing a lover and you will hurt more. I do not wish to cause you pain" She cried.
Robin let out a sigh of relief. She wasn't sorry she loved him, just worried about him. Whoa, wait did she just say lover?
"Star what do you mean by lover?"
She sniffed.
"When two people love each other are they not lovers?" He smiled and sighed again.
"Yes, but we use a different word here on earth. And leave 'lovers' for something different"
"I do not understand"
Robin smiled, that was one of the things he loved about her. Her innocence, the way she asked questions. He brought his lips to her forehead and planted a kiss there.
"It's not important Star. And I much rather spend the next six months loving you than just being a friend"
"You were always much more than a friend Robin" She wiped away her tears and smiled softly.
"I am the luckiest guy in this world right now" He whispered to her ear as he buried his nose on her dark red hair.
Star blushed and kissed his cheek lovingly.
'For him, for his love and for my friends I will be happy' She concluded with a smile.
