DISCLAIMER: I do not own Teen Titans. If I did, Robin and Starfire would be together forever and always. And if you still think I'm trying to steal it, don't sue me. I don't have any money. And I really don't want to be plunged into debt right now.

CHAPTER THREE: REALIZATION

The next day, all the Titans woke up early and went out into the kitchen for breakfast. "Okay, who's going to make breakfast today?" asked Cyborg authoritatively. Beastboy's face took on an expression of hope, but the others glared at him.

"No, Beastboy," they chorused. Beastboy made a dejected noise while Raven proceeded to make some tea. They looked around for a bit, then decided to make their own morning sustenance. Starfire arrived at the table with some gray goopy substance with tentacles sprouting out of it, and Beastboy sat down to his usual tofu eggs. Raven sat down with a book and her tea, and Cyborg scrounged around for some leftovers while Robin fried some bacon.

"What is that?" asked Beastboy, gesturing towards Starfire's meal.

"It is the customary Wednesday breakfast of Tamaran. Klorbanelk!"

"Umm… I'm sure it's delicious…?" said Beastboy tentatively.

"Oh you must try some!" cried Starfire enthusiastically, thrusting a spoonful of it into his mouth. Beastboy gagged and spat it out while Cyborg chuckled at him and Starfire took on a crestfallen disposition. Cyborg took Beastboy's empty seat, opening up the previous night's Chinese takeout, while Robin sat down next to Starfire with a fried egg sandwich and bacon, downing his glass of orange juice. Terra meanwhile, wasn't worried about food. She was sitting in her room in deep contemplation, trying to fathom even a bit of what had happened between her and Beastboy last night. She laid down, mulling it all over. I can't believe I did that. I thought it would make things better, but I still feel like dirt. I thought I loved Beastboy. I thought I wanted to be given that from him. I was wrong. That void is still there. I don't know how to fill it. I was so sure that giving myself to him would do it. It didn't. I need to find some other way to make myself feel worthy. I wish I had what Star had. She's always so happy. Everyone likes her. Robin loves her. She loves him. I love him.
