Hey Guys n' Gals! How's it going? I hope you liked the last chapter . I know Robin doesn't seem like the type of guy that would "cry," but it had to fit into the story. Please don't hate me! Anyway, Here's chapter 4! (The last Chapter )
Chapter4 - True Love After All
The friends decided to sit down, and make up a plan. Robin, however, now started to think about Starfire. She didn't laugh at him when he started to cry, and she acted sympathetic. As if she understood. These thoughts filled Robin's head. He started to think like Starfire was. About all the things they had been through together. 'Am I in love with her?' he asked himself, 'Are we more than friends?'
"Robin," Raven announced, "You go with Cyborg..."
"No," Robin replied, "I'll go with Star. Cyborg will go with Beast Boy."
They all looked at Robin with wonder, but didn't argue. Raven set off with Beast Boy and Cyborg, while Robin and Starfire took off the other way. 'Why did he want to go with me, instead of Cyborg and Beast Boy?' Starfire asked herself, 'Does he like me? No. We are only friends, at least in his mind. In my mind we may be more than that. Maybe. Just maybe.'
Robin also had thoughts flying around in his head. 'Should I tell her?' he asked himself, 'Should I tell her what I've been dying to say to her ever since I met her? But, what if she doesn't like me the same way? Does she feel the same about me as I feel about her?'
Both just couldn't concentrate on what they were doing. They kept thinking. Just thinking. "Star, Robin, come in. Is anyone there," a voice came from Robin's communicator, "HELLO?! Can anyone hear me?"
"Hey Beast Boy," Robin answered, "What's up?"
"Oh, nothing, I . . . ouch! Raven, what did ya do that for?! Oh, yea, sorry... We found something that might be of interest to you. Meet us here. I'll show you where we are."
Robin studied the map, and took off down the hallway, with Starfire close behind. "Uh, Star?", he said quietly as he halted to a stop, "C-Can I ask you something?"
"Okay," Star replied, "What is it you whish to ask me?"
"D-Do you . . . uh. . . . . . like me?"
"Of course I do Robin, you are the best friend I ever had. Why? Were you afraid I did not?"
"That's not what I meant. . . . . . I-I mean. . . . . . . . uh. . . . . . . never mind. It's not important. Just forget I asked." He paused for a moment. 'Why didn't you ask her stupid?!?' he questioned himself, 'Man, you are so stupid! You had the chance, and you blew it!'
"Robin, If you meant if I like you more than a friend, then. . . . . well. . . . . . yes." She couldn't believe she just said that! She admitted it. 'Wow,' she thought, 'I'm braver than I thought'. Robin looked at Starfire. She was as red as his uniform. A small tear now appeared in her eye. "I am sorry if you do not feel the same."
"Starfire, I-I do." For a long time after, they just stared at each other. They couldn't believe they were in love. And they admitted it too.
"ROBIN!!," Beast Boy yelled into the communicator again, "Where the heck are you!?! We've been waiting forever! Come on!"
"Sorry Beast Boy," Robin replied, not taking his eyes off Star, "Star and I have been talking. We'll be there in a sec."
They ran back down the hall, this time, hand in hand. They finally met up with Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Raven. "Talking huh?" Beast Boy said as he saw them holding hands, "About what huh? Maybe I should start 'talking' more."
They all gave him a cold stare until he was quiet (which took a few minutes) L.O.L ,then Raven showed them what they were trying to show them. There, in front of them, was a pile of rubble. Something had blown up. Hopefully, Slade was involved in this explosion. They had no way of knowing. Robin leaned close to Starfire, and gave her a kiss. "Thanks" he whispered.
Starfire, once again, turned bright red. "What are friends for?" she whispered back.
The End
