A/N: Ok, guys... It's been a long time, ne? I've got no excuse this time. Well... except for the fact that I just changed schools, got a ton of homework, am involved in multiple after-school activities, and am really worn out. But that doesn't count. I should be more dedicated to my story. Sooo... now I'm going to try and get at least 1 chapter up a week. Please bear with me, here. U.u; It's all bad. Lol.
Chapter 5 - I've Got a Crush On You...
It had started to rain. Hard. Starfire trudged through the sheets of precipitation, glad that they weren't freezing. It was summer, so the rain was warm. It actually felt good on her aching muscles. Starfire couldn't be happy with the rain, not when thoughts plagued her mind. First, there was Robin. He had moved his way into her head. She felt remorse for running out on him, when he was just trying to be helpful. She had very strong feelings for Robin, and that made her guilt worse. This...Matsaku was tearing her life apart.
And there appeared thoughts of Matsaku. Starfire just couldn't get over the kiss. It was amazing, like an aphrodisiac. Just thinking of it made her feel lightheaded and happy. She hadn't known this young man for more than a day and already she was daydreaming about him? Great. Starfire sighed inwardly. She was going to have to stop swooning over someone that attempted to hurt her friends.
While Starfire had been in deep thought, she had forgotten all about the rain. It was apparent that it wasn't letting up any time soon. In fact, it had been getting worse. It pelted her skin hard and made her bare arms and legs itch, strangely. She would never get used to rain on Earth. But, the fat multitude of droplets formed a grey, misty blanket, shading Star from the rest of the world. For this Star was happy.
Robin searched desperately for Starfire. As soon as the rain started, he got very worried. Who knew where she was now, if she was safe or not? The rain made it harder to look for her. Even with his training in the dark, to see what cannot be seen, he was still bumping into trees, of which the rain had turned as grey as the sky. He shouted her name out, but time after time he got no response. Where was she! He fell to his knees, not wanting to give up, but unable to search any longer. His skin was soaked completely, and he was chilled to the bone. The rain was pouring down harder now. He curled a hand into a fist and ground it into his eyes. To an onlooker it seemed like he was getting water out, but Robin knew that he was crying for Starfire.
When around her, Robin felt like he needed to protect her. He always felt that need. He wanted nothing to harm her. He wanted nothing to change the way that she smiled. When near her, Robin became happy, but only when she was happy. If she was feeling sad, Robin would always try his best to change that. But this morning... He didn't know what came over him. Starfire was keeping something secret. They never really kept secrets from each other, and that is what worried him. He didn't want to get her angry, or be a pest, but he was concerned.
Robin bowed his head as he thought about Starfire's ruby red hair, her emerald green eyes, the purple outfit she always wore. She was beautiful in every way to him. He squeezed his eyes shut as he started to tear up again. Wiping away all traces of water from his eyes, he came to a realization.
He loved Starfire.
With all of his heart, he loved her.
He couldn't stand being without her. It almost killed him when he knew she was in danger. All he wanted now was for her to be there in front of him. He wanted to see her hair, eyes, face, body... He wanted to hug her and squeeze her tight and never let her go.
Robin heard a noise and raised his head. Right there, before his eyes, the beautiful, red-haired angel stood. She lowered herself to her knees and raised a hand, touching Robin's face gently.
"Robin, is that actually you?" she asked, shocked to find him out here in the rain.
Robin nodded and brought his hand to lay gently on hers. "Starfire, is that you?
Starfire nodded quickly and Robin pulled her into a warm embrace. "Starfire, I've been looking for you for an hour! I was so worried that you were in trouble!" He paused, squeezing her frame tighter. "I'm sorry for what happened this morning," he whispered into her ear. "I was scared that something bad had happened to you last night."
Starfire could only shake her head "no" and squeeze Robin back. She felt so bad for running out. She wanted to tell him, but couldn't find her voice. She was grateful that she had found him. She couldn't find her voice to tell him that, either. All Starfire did was bury her face into his shoulder and whispered, "Let's go home..."
Thanks so much guys! I know this isn't all that good. Haha. I try.
