Starfire awoke hearing the sound of vigorous typing. Forgetting where she was, she quickly leapt up into the air with bright eyes and flaming green fists, ready to conquer any evil. But when she saw Robin at the computer with a concerned look on his face, she lowered her fists and floated down to the ground. Because of the energy it took to power up her starbolts, Starfire fell to the ground, weak from the battle beforehand. Robin saw this and got up from his chair and carefully wrapped his arms around Starfire's waist and set her back down onto the bed. She looked down at her hands awkwardly, not knowing what to say. Robin, feeling the same, cleared his throat and began to say what he needed to say.
"Look, Star, about tonight…I wasn't thinking, I just wanted Slade to be caught so bad…" began Robin.
"And thanks to you friend Robin, that bad man is now behind bars." stated Starfire.
"Yeah he is, but I don't really care about that right now."
Starfire looked at Robin a little shocked as he held her small hand in his. "Right now, all I care about is you. I was so worried about you when you were taken by Slade; I never stopped planning how to get you back. For the first time in my life, I was scared, no; terrified that I would lose someone who's very important to me, again. Starfire, you have to believe that if you got hurt tonight, my mind would have gone crazy, not even Raven could fix it after all I would suffer at your loss. I would have died if I lost you. You're the one person I really care about. You're the person I fight for; you're the person a try for; you're the person I live for. And I'm sorry if you don't feel the same way about me, but Starfire…I love you…"
Starfire looked at Robin with big and wide eyes, just waiting for her heart to slow down from the rapid pace it was at. She breathed in deeply, trying to think of something to say back to tell him how she felt, but no words could describe her feeling. Taking this the wrong way, Robin wore an expression of heartache and gently pulled his hand away from hers and started towards the computer. But before he could sit back down, Starfire took him in a loving embrace, not one of her bone crushing hugs, but a real affectionate embrace.
Starfire whispered into Robin's ear, her breath tickling the hairs on his neck as she said the words he'd been longing to hear, "I love you too Robin…"
And with that, Robin did the one thing he dreamed of every night. He softly trailed one finger up her neck and to her chin, his thumb rubbing her bottom lip. He looked straight down at her lips and then into her eyes. His other arm slithered down her arm and wrapped around her waist, pulling her right up against his chest. He then closed his eyes and tilted his head downward until his mouth gently closed over hers.
At first, Starfire was too nervous to do anything, but followed Robin's example and closed her eyes as well. When his lips closed over hers, she was slightly shocked and parted her lips. Robin took the opportunity to slide his tongue in and taste the rim of her bottom lip. Starfire sighed into Robin's mouth, not meaning to let the pleasure of the contact be shown. Robin moaned back into her and wrapped both arms around her waist to pull her even closer as Starfire slung her arms around Robin's neck.
Just as the kiss was deepening and Robin's fingers were trailing up her spine, Starfire got weak in the knees and slumped forward slightly. Robin, caught her swiftly and set her down on the bed.
"I guess I am not fully well yet." She said, slightly embarrassed at all that just occurred.
Robin smiled and whispered in her ear, "Or maybe you just swooned over that amazing kiss you just gave me."
Starfire blushed a deep red and Robin slid into the bed next to her. She immediately snuggled up to his warmth laid her head onto his chest. He smiled at her innocence and swung an arm around her.
"Night night Robin. Shall you have sweet dreams?"
Robin smiled, "The sweetest dreams I'll ever have is if I wake up right now."
