2. Garden Of Promises
Starfire's point of ViewIt was unusual for me not to be the first one awake. It was always me up early and making breakfast, but this morning, it was Robin.
Robin.
Robin.
Robin.
I can't get enough of that name. I have adored him for so long and I want to be able to talk to him, to tell him all my secrets, but that's worthless, if he does not know my greatest secret. That I love him so much. That is stupid though, he is not the type of person, he is mysterious, brave, confident in every thing he does, he sees life as a true man. I am a silly little girl compared to him.
Maybe that's what he sees me for. A silly little girl.
I have acted juvenile whilst on this planet. I did not understand it at all, and he was the one to explain it all to me, no matter how many times I asked, he must have been very annoyed inside, yet he hid it from me, so not to hurt my feelings.
There's no way he could love me back, either, it would be too much of a gamble for him. For the Titans, for this city.
"Hello Robin, you are up early," I stated out to him.
"What… um, rough night, sorry," He mumbled, not turning to face me.
I got very downtrodden at this. I mean, he doesn't like me enough to even look at me in the eye.
He turned round.
"Eggs and bacon, your favourite," he said and served me it.
I smiled at him.
"Why thank you Robin, that is very kind of you," I thanked him.
"Hey, look, it's snowing!" Robin ran to the window, smiling, and at that moment I realised, behind that tough, confident figure, there was still a child inside of him, with his boyish grin, I laughed at him.
"Want to take a look outside?" he asked me, grabbing my hand.
"Sure," I replied, smiling back.
Robin's point of ViewI couldn't believe it. Snow. I loved snow, ever since I was a kid. And the perfect thing was, the only person there to share it all with, was Starfire.
It was freezing, but everything was pure, white and perfect. Starfire tenderly touched the frozen leaves in our garden. I then came across a thought.
"Hey, Star, have you ever seen any snow before?" I asked.
She shook her head.
"No, Robin, this is the first." She responded.
I nodded.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" I asked her.
"Very beautiful," she agreed.
There was silence between the two of us for a small while.
"Robin, may I ask something of you?" she asked.
"Yeah, Star, what is it?" I asked.
"Promise me something, Robin,"
"Yeah, anything,"
"Promise me, that you'll always tell me the truth, no matter what, promise me, you'll catch me when I fall,"
"I promise Star, of course I'll always be there for you,"
"Are you sure Robin, you won't mind what I tell you? You'll tell me everything you think too?"
"Yeah, you can tell me anything,"
"The there's something I need to tell you,"
"That's okay, Star, because, because I need to tell you something too,"
This was it. This was the moment I'd been waiting for, it was the perfect opportunity.
"WOAH! CYBORG! CHECK IT OUT! IT'S SNOWING!" Beast Boy's cry destroyed the moment.
I could have killed him. Killed him, long, hard and painful.
"Argh! Wanna make a snowman that looks like Raven?" Beast Boy asked them all.
Starfire giggled and went to join them.
I sighed. Things were so confusing.
