"So, what do we do now?" Beast Boy asked awkwardly, standing near Robin. Robin took his time in replying, still watching Terra.

"We... wait until she wakes up." He said. Beast Boy stepped closer to Robin, placing a shaking hand on his shoulder. At Beast Boy's touch, Robin flinched.

"You know, you don't have to be so afraid..." Beast Boy said faintly. Robin didn't say anything. They stayed still, anticipating the time Terra would regain her consciousness. After awhile, he removed his hand from Robin's shoulder, and sat on the floor. He didn't know how long he was sitting there, but by the time he made a new movement, he was incredibly stiff. He glanced over at Robin, whom was completely motionless. "The soups probably gone cold." He tried to inform him, but Robin made no sign of hearing him. "Robin?" He called softly, pushing his shoulder. Robin's head fell forward and a faint snore escaped his mouth. Beast Boy let out a muffled laugh. He got up with a little bit of difficulty due to the stiffness. Deciding that it would be okay if he left, Beast Boy walked back to the door. He took one last, lingering look at the two, and walked through the door.


When Terra regained her consciousness, opening her eyes, she found a heavily breathing Robin at the side of her bed. At first she was startled by this, not remembering what had happened. But after she thought about it, everything came back to her. He must have fallen asleep, waiting for her to wake up again. He looked so peaceful, so she decided to leave him be. She elevated herself a little, getting a better view of him. She smiled at him, he looked so cute. She suddenly had a strong urge to run her fingers through his jet black hair. She lifted her hand and lightly touched the top of one of his spikes. Considering how much gel he probably had in his hair, it was surprisingly soft. Butterflies fluttered in her stomach and she blushed a light red. Terra, you are just touching his hair... don't freak out. She silently scolded herself. But I can't help it... Another part of her thought. This is nice, and I have a right to feel good by a simple thing as touching his hair... no matter how weird that sounds... She smirked to herself.

Terra continued to let her fingertips run over his hair. She finally lowered her whole hand into the black mass, running her whole hand through it. It was so nice. For some reason she felt completely secure, something she hadn't felt for awhile. In the middle of this, Robin opened his eyes. Terra drew back her hand in a flash, not knowing what he'd say. But to her relief, he smiled at her.

"That felt nice..." Robin said, running his own hand through his hair. Terra blushed further. Robin lifted himself off the floor and instead sat next to Terra on the bed. He looked her over, then he reached out with an arm and pulled her head to his chest. He put his other arm around her, placing his cheek on top of her head. "You worried me..." Terra realized she must be burning a deep crimson by now.

"I-I'm sorry..." She said breathlessly. Robin even smelled nice. She didn't want it to end, his warm embrace and being surrounded by his scent. Was there anything wrong with this boy? He seemed almost flawless, well, except his short temper with the rest of the team.

"No, it's not your fault." Robin said. No, it's my fault... He thought to himself grimly. "Oh yeah... before I forget, I had food sent here for you. You mentioned not eating much, so I asked Beast Boy to retrieve some food."

"Oh... thanks..." Terra replied. Robin pushed away from her gently and got the tray off the night stand. He put it on her lap.

"The soup might be a little cold by now... but it should be alright... eat up." Terra picked up the soup bowl and tipped it to her lips, so the soup flowed into her mouth. He was right, it was a little cold... but nevertheless, it was good. When she was done with the soup, she nibbled on the crackers and fruit. It felt good to have food in her stomach, but weird, since she had been used to not eating for the past few days. That had been stupid of me. Terra thought. I was stupid to just stop eating like that.

"That was good. I'll have to thank BB later." Terra said happily when she had finished.

"He'd like that."

"Speaking of Beast Boy..." Terra started. Robin's eyes widened a bit. Oh no... now what? He thought nervously. "Don't you think him and Starfire make the cutest couple you've ever seen?" Robin almost fell off the bed, sweat dropping.

"Uh, yeah! They're great together..." Robin replied, sitting back up.

"I knew you thought so, too!" Terra said, "I mean, I could practically see the envy in your eyes whenever you look at them together." Robin sweat dropped again. Man, if she thinks that's envy... what does she think anger is? I didn't know she could be so clueless. Robin thought, but, alas, he had to play along.

"Er... yeah! You got me." Robin said, trying really hard not to laugh or cry... he didn't know which. It was so funny but so depressing at the same time.

"What do you want to do now?" Terra asked, jumping off her bed. Robin was just glad she was off the Beast Boy and Starfire subject. She seemed suddenly energized. I guess a bit of food did do her good. Robin thought, watching her.

"We can... go hang out with everyone else or something." Robin suggested.

"Sure, let's go!" She sprang over to him and grabbed him forearm, leading him out of her room. They walked down the hall in silence, entering the living room area. As Robin had guessed, everyone was there. Cyborg and Beast Boy were engaged in some new video game Cyborg had bought. Raven was sitting on the kitchen counter, reading a small white book. And Starfire was busy making something that looked horribly like chocolate ice cream with spinach and mustard on top. Raven kept shooting looks of disgust at the dish. When Starfire actually started eating it, that's when Raven lost it. She closed the book with a loud thud and took a few long strides to the safety of the couch.

Robin and Terra laughed as they watched the scene. This announced that they were there. Starfire looked up from her food and beamed.

"Terra!" She flew over and landed in front on them, "How are you? Beast Boy told us you had blocked out."

"Blacked out, Star." Raven called, correcting her.

"Yes, yes, blacked out." Starfire said hastily.

"Well, I'm alright. I just needed some food."

"Food! I have made a most delicious new lunch item. Would you like to try it?" Starfire said, pointing at the bowl of her odd concoction.

"Erm... no thanks, Star..."

"Oh... alright..." Starfire replied, "Hey! More for me then!" She flew back over and started stuffing more of it into her mouth. Just about everyone cringed at the sight. Robin and Terra made their way down to the couch, and sat down by Raven. She had given up on reading, and was now watching the boys play their game. Robin and Terra did the same.

"No! Argh! BB, you little cheater!" Cyborg yelled as his character was blown off course.

"Hey, it's your own fault, you stepped right into my trap! Hee hee." Beast Boy said evilly.

"Turn, turn, turn! You worthless idiot!" Cyborg yelled at his character, jabbing the buttons harder then needed.

"YESSSSSSSS!" Beast Boy yelled in triumph. The screen faded black and red words flashed, 'Player 1 Wins'.

"Aw man! You!" Cyborg pulled Beast Boy into a headlock.

"Ah! Greh! L-let g-g-go! I c-can't b-breathe!" Beast Boy gasped. Cyborg chuckled heartily, letting him go.

"Serves you right, beatin' the master!"

"I guess there's a new master then..." Beast Boy mumbled.

"What was that!"

"Nothing, nothing. Okay! Who wants to face me?" Beast Boy called out.

"I'll face you!" Terra said dramatically, standing up.

"You're on, girl! And you're goin' down!" Beast Boy said, grabbing his controller. Terra took the other one. They picked their characters and started the challenge. As the game went on, they let out yells of frustration and happiness, shooting comments to each other as they played. When they were nearing the end, Terra was winning, rather easily at that.

"Oh! Look who's going down now!" Terra yelled, pushing the buttons fiercely. "You know what that makes you? Huh? That's right, you're just a girly-man!"

"Yeah? Well... well... you're a... girl!" Beast Boy said lamely.

"Why, yes I am, thank you for making that assessment for me, Beast Boy." Terra said sarcastically. Everyone laughed, except Beast Boy.

"No problem." He replied with a dorky grin. The upbeat music began to play, signaling that the challenge was nearing it's end. Terra made her last jump and...

"HELLS YEAH!" She jumped up as the screen flashed, 'Player 2 Wins'. She did a little winning dance.

"Amazing, isn't it?" Raven said to Robin.

"Hmm?"

"Amazing how just something like a video game can bring people together." She said, watching Beast Boy and Terra.

"Yeah, I guess." Robin said, smiling along with everyone else.

And for the first time in a few weeks, everyone felt good again, like a team, like friends.
