Chapter 9: Expressing and Forgiving

Back at the tower, Starfire was resting on her bed as Robin and the other titans were outside her door talking of what happened.

"So what happened?" Beast Boy asked scratching his head as if he were confused. And he was.

"Slade took Star as his Apprentice, we stopped him for now. But we have know what he's up to next." Robin said in his brave, heroic voice.

"Whoa..." Raven said staring and still taking in all the information that was said.

"Well what now?" Cyborg asked turning to the Boy Wonder.

"Right now, you should get some rest even though you didn't do anything." Robin said turning to Starfire's door. Raven, Cyborg, Beast Boy and even Robin started to laugh. Once, the laugher ended, Cyborg and the others turned to go to their rooms.

"And you?" Cyborg replied before walking off with the others.

"I'm gonna talk to Star." Robin replied opening her door and walked in.

Cyborg grinned and started to walk down the hall with the others.

"HA! I KNEW IT! Who's the man? Who's the man?" Beast said doing a little dance as the three of them walked. Cyborg gave a little slap on the backBeast Boy's head.

"Not you..." Raven replied in her moody voice. Beast Boy gave an annoyed look as the continued to walk.

Back in Starfire's room, Robin was holding Star's hand in his and he was sitting at her bedside. Starfire's eyes were closed as she was sleeping, breathing in deep and even breaths. Robin pushed back a strand of auburn colored hair from her face and continued to stare at her. Robin sighed and put his head down so that his face was close to her ear.

"I love you Star." Robin said as he also closed his eyes. "I'm sorry."

"For what?" Starfire weakly said as her eyes fluttered open. From the sound of her voice, Robin straightened up and looked down at her. She was smiling and also staring at him.

"Ummm...uh..." Robin tried to say but he just stuttered (sp?).

Starfirelaughed and sat up and squeezzed his hand. That laugh. Robin loved how she laughed. Her laugh always comforted him. Starfire stopped laughing and let go of his hand to stroke his face, which made him blush.

"Robin?" Starfire said as he hand dropped to her side.

"Yeah Star?" Robin asked as he reached and took her hand in his again.

"I'm sorry." Starfire said as she turned away from his face and sighed. Suddenly, tears started to form in her eyes.

"For what?"

"For doing all this damage and disaster. It is all my fault for having you injured. It is also my fault that I attacked my friends and it is my fault...for telling how I felt about you in the first place. I'm just...different...different from this Earth..if it wasn't for me..."

"If it wasn't for you I wouldn't feel the same way I would feel now." Robin finshed for her. He then used his gloved hand, to hold her chin and direct her face toward his. Starfire had tears running down her face as she looked at him.

"What do you mean?" Starfire asked. Robin wiped a tear away from her face.

"Starfire, didn't you hear I word I said before. Look Star, you the most wonderful person I know. You're my best friend Star. You mean so much to me. I wouldn't bear to see anything happen to you. I love you Star. I love you more than anything." Robin said blushing like mad and squeezed her hand.

Starfire sat there in blushing as well, stunned. "But Robin I thought you said that..."

"Don't care about what I said before...I was a jerk before. I didn't know what I was thinking." Robin said beginning to smile.

Starfire smiled, pulled him in for an embrace and Robin returned that embrace by holding her as closely as he could to his body. "Robin, I love you too." Starfire whispered in his ear. Robin pulled a away a little bit andfastened hishands around her waist.Starfire suddenly reached her hand to hisface andslowly took off his mask,revealing his sapphire eyes. Starfire blushed and stared at them for a moment.

"Robin?" Starfire asked as their forehaeads touched.

"Yea Starfire?"

"Has anyone told you...that you have the most beautiful eyes?"

"No...but thanks for telling me." Robin said and brushed against her lips. "You have the most beautiful eyes too."

Starfire gave a little giggle. Robin smiled and pressed his lips against hers. Starfire kissed him back and then wrapped her arms around his neck. Robin continued to kiss her and one hand started to run through Starfire's auburn hair. Starfirepulled away and giggled while she got out of Robin's arms. Robin went to her door and opened it. He then motioned for her to follow him. Starfire got out of bed and went next to him and took his hand.

"I want to show you something." Robin said leading her to the rooftop. Starfire again, giggled and followed close behind him.

Robin opened the roof door and helped her up. Right there, in front of them was a sunset. The blue sea was glistening from the sun's ray, the sun itself was a kind of orange and red clor which made the sky glow a kind of orange color. Starfire gasped at the sight of it. Starfire sat at the edge of the roof, that made her legs hang from the edge. Robin followed after her and sat next to her. Starfire turned and looked at him. Robin looked back at her. Starfire smiled and turned back to the view.

"Robin...I never get to see this on my homeplanet Tamaran. It is so beautiful." Starfire said as Robin took her hand.

"Well...now you get to see it. ...But it really isn't all that beautiful." Robin replied wrapping his arms arounf her waist. Starfire frowned and looked up at him.

"Why not?" Starfire asked, confused.

"Because...it's not as beautiful as the person who I'm with right now." Robin said looking back at her. He then started to blush.

Starfire blushed and kissed his cheek. Finally she sighed and laid her head on his chest. "I love you, Robin." she whispered.

"I love you too, Star. Always will and always have." Robin replied. Suddenly, a question got into Starfire's mind.

"Robin, will we be doing this 'going out'?" she asked.

"I don't know...do you want to?" Robin asked running his hand up and down her arm.

"I do...but that means we have to be blortig and blortib." Starfire said giggling.

"Ummmm...blortig and blortib?" Robin asked as he gave a little chuckle.

Starfire giggled and replied, "It means ummm...what you say on your planet...uh...boyfriend and girlfriend. But I donnot understand. I mean you are a boy and my friend and I am a girl an I am your friend. What if when we do become boyfriend and girlfriend and something happens and..." Starfire was suddenly interupted when Robin briefly kissed her and pulled away. Starfire opened her eyes and looked in his eyes, even though it was behind a mask.

"Shhhh...all that matters right now, is that you're here. Whatever comes our way , we'll be ready for it. ok?" Robin replied as he smiled at her. Starfire nodded and nuzzled her head on his chest.

No matter what. I'll be here. I'll be here to protect you. Robin thought as he held her close to his body.

"I love you Star." Robin replied and all that filled his thoughts were only about how much he was in love and how he would always be there for his Star.

"I love you too Robin...I love you too."
