I wanted to draw attention to some of my reviews because all you people care.
Spunksterdawg writes, "Great imitations of everyone! All the characters really act like from the actual show! Especially starfire and cyborg! O, and just a question ...are you overly obsessed with teen titans? Because I have this friend who is really into it, in a bad way...I'm open to any suggestions!"
Yes. Next question.
LOL, I do like the show a lot. It's really the only television I watch. Normally I'm too busy with school work, the gym, and my friends to have time for anything else. I think I'm writing this in what little free time I have to retain my creative side that is being drained out of me from my business writing class.
SFAMelissa writes, "LoL gr Mr. Fluffles... Nice going so far.. very interesting, I like the whole triangle thing ya got going there, but we all know what couple REALLY wins in the end wink
To answer that, I don't even know who wins in the end. I'm enjoying torturing you people too much.
I have now officially wasted half a page on commenting on reviews. Congratulations, you distracted me. For that you are all getting a short chapter. Here goes:
DISCLAIMER: I'm too fried to think of anything creative. I'll just type 'ouchgenstaven' and say I don't own the show.

After a brief interlude with Starfire, Robin retreated into the sanctuary of his room. The light from the moon blanketed his room in silver, casting shadows to and fro. His head fell at the sight.
'My entire life I have been living as a shadow,' he thought calmly. Head still dropped, he continued his thought. 'My parents', my mentor's, my own -' Robin wasn't one to think about the boy behind the mask. But he was undeniably a boy under the harden surface, itching for at least a romp in the park every now and then.
Sighing, he meandered slowly to the box spring mattress, falling back into its fluffiness. He relished the softness surrounding him, thinking 'In such a hard knock life, at least its nice to have something soft to come home to.'
Putting his gloved hands behind his bed, he stared up at the ceiling. Something didn't feel right. 'These gloves take away all sensation,' he thought. He pulled off the gloves, and let his uninhibited fingers run through his hair. He missed the sensation touch sent through him.
'I have been disconnected from feeling for so long,' he thought, 'that I'm not sure if I can feel anymore.'
(This is where the author thinks a background song is necessary. Of course the heroes are unaware of the music, but the readers aren't. Skip ahead if you don't care, but in the background is the song "On my Own" by the Used. See footnotes for lyrics. BTW, I highly recommend downloading this song. You won't be disappointed, trust me.)
The moonlight continued to pour like a fountain into his room. Eyes fixated on the spot above him, he was unaware of the shadow cast upon his carpet by a figure looking in through his window.
Admiring the lying figure was Starfire.
"Robin," she whispered so her voice only trailed to her ears. She observed his features from afar, locking in on the trance like state he had entered. 'He has cared for others so much that he has forgotten to care for himself,' she thought. "If only I could show him that I care for him as much as he cares for the rest of us…" her thought was interrupted by another's voice.
"That's really nice of you, Starfire," Raven sincerely stated. She had chanced seeing the Boy Wonder through his window before she returned to her meditation, only to come across Starfire.
Both girls shared a friendly smile, the first one since reading the paper in the morning paper. Without announcing it, both girls called a truce for the time being, letting their guards down.
Both girls still had Robin on the mind, but were content in just observing him for the moment. Raven turned to look at the boy, who had since changed into his pajamas and had fallen asleep.
After several minutes of an understandable silence, both girls returned to their rooms. It was time to think about how they were going to conquer the Boy Wonder's heart.

Short chapter, blah blah blah. Busy with Accounting work, and I just wanted to focus on Robin as an individual, how I see his brain working. I also pleased a few of you who begged me to not have the girls hate each other. At least temporarily, I haven't got to the cat fight yet. BTW, the lyrics for the song follow this.
"On my Own" by The Used
See
all those people on the ground
wasting time
I try to hold it
all inside
but just for tonight
the top of the world
sitting
here wishing
the things I've become
that something is
missing
maybe I...
but what do I know
and
now it seems that I have found
nothing at all
I want to hear
your voice out loud
slow it down, slow it down
without it
all
I'm choking on nothing
it's clear in my head
and I'm
screaming for something
knowing nothing is better than knowing at
all
On my own x6
Without
it all
I'm choking on nothing
it's clear in my head
and I'm
screaming for something
knowing nothing is better than knowing at
all
On my own x4
