Chapter 4: falling tide
Disclaimer: I don't own teen titans (and guess what I don't want to)
This chapter is dedicated to: Brittany because Mr. Brancamp tortured you enough with the whole diary thing. A journal where friends write you notes is NOT a diary. Ooo take that Mr. Brainkrap
Right before Robin and Starfire got in the door of their house and announcement rang loudly through the city:
"The first marriages of the spring will be held tomorrow during the first half of the day"
"I'm guessing that means no school tomorrow" Robin said smiling as he lay down on his bed
"Mhmm..." Starfire mumbled already asleep.
Soon the night faded away into morn and as the first rays of sun peaked through the darkness and stretched across the land people rose.
"Meet in the middle to witness the marriage of Alex and Michelle" a guard called arousing the people of the indigo district.
The people got up and did their daily morning routine. At the middle area where the people were gathering, Mr. Brancamp was collecting the history reports, Raven turned Beast boy and hers in. Beast boy rolled his eyes as he spotted the brides mother crying out of joy. He couldn't think of any reason for people to marry this young. He felt that Raven didn't like it either, but then again she was just independent. His last thought before he snapped out of it was that maybe he should ask Raven to marry him.
The bells started to ring and the procession began. The bride seemed to glow with happiness, but her groom appeared to be a nervous wreck of a gentleman. The priest started speaking and robin left with his hands in his pockets. Those sort of things just didn't quite catch his fancy. Starfire saw Robin leave and she too, decided to leave. Starfire ran up to Robin calling his name.
"Why did you leave?" Starfire asked
"The area was making me nervous" Robin muttered
"Huh?" Starfire said confused
Deciding to confide in her he began to spill his thoughts.
"I'm worried about having to be married. I don't want to move out of the house, and I don't want to leave the others; and I don't know who to ask or anything." Robin admitted for the first time in his life seeming weak.
"Oh" Starfire said softly
They reached the outskirts and climbed over the big wall. They walked to a nearby shoreline and Starfire sat down dangling her feet in the water.
"Star we don't know what kind of creatures live in that water and I don't think you should- "Robin started before a giant toothed creature rose up out of the water and lunged at them. Robin pushed Starfire out of the way and they went rolling down a sand dune and landed in a valley of dirt and sand.
"I guess you were right" Starfire said blushing as Robin pulled himself off of her and onto his feet.
"Yea..." Robin mumbled blushing brightly as he offered his hand to help her up, which she accepted.
They walked back to the city without a word exchanged, each with their own thoughts and worries. They finally reached the city and walked to their home, eating some lunch before the evening worship.
I apologize about the shortness and stuff. Flame if you feel the need. Thank you to all my wonderful reviewers!!! You guys are the best! Please review and question or comment on anything.
What's to come: chapter 5 is called burning desires. Some more disobedience causes quite a scene at the evening worship and Robin finally brings himself to ask a certain someone question that's been on his mind for quite a while.
