Chapter 25

I gazed down upon the gorgeous girl lying next to me, Bruce's words running through my head. I wasn't going to make the same mistake he did, the same mistake I had already started making.

Panic clutched at my heart. What if it was too late? What if Starfire wasn't fine, and she didn't wake up? She'd never know how I felt, and how could I live without her? I became angry all over again at myself. Why had I let Kendrick trick me? Why had I let my guard down? I was so stupid, and Starfire was the one who had to pay for my mistake . . . why did I keep making such stupid, stupid mistakes?

"Star . . . please wake up," I whispered. "Please be okay." But this wasn't a fairy tale, and she remained immobile. I felt hot tears welling up in my eyes, and they burned. I couldn't remember the last time I cried.

Yes I could. It was over The Mistake, in her bedroom . . .

Oh how I hated myself.

I heard a quiet moan and I jumped at the sound. Starfire? Was she awake? My attention was directed back to her, but her eyes were still closed. Her pouty lips opened as she gasped, "Robin!"

She was calling my name. Mine.

"I'm here," I said quickly, in case she could hear me. I stroked her bangs out of her face, willing her to wake up. And finally, after what seemed like an eternity, her eyes fluttered open.

"Robin?" she asked, her voice soft. I couldn't help it, a large smile spread over my face.

"Star," I said, relief flooding through my body. "You're awake." She stared at me, as if she didn't believe it was me. Tentatively, she stretched out her hand until she touched my face. She recoiled upon contact, as if surprised that I was concrete; real.

"Robin . . . you are . . . but I thought you were . . ."

"I'm not." Though her energy wasn't fully regained, she threw herself at me full speed, and pain mixed with joy split through my body. I couldn't stop myself, I let out a grunt and she quickly let me go, which I regretted.

"You are injured," she said, her eyes flickering to where I had been stabbed. I shook my head.

"It's okay."

"No," she whispered, her eyes not looking at me. "It is not. It is my fault you were hurt." What? Her fault? How could she possibly think it was her fault?

"Star, no," I protested. She refused to look at me, so I had to reach out and tilt her chin upwards to make contact with me. When I saw the crystalline tears in her eyes, my heart began to ache. I just wanted to gather her up in my arms and make it all better.

It was now that I noticed the position we were in. We were both on her bed, my hand cupping her face, our noses almost touching. A shiver ran through me. Was this my chance? If I didn't take advantage of the situation, was I making another mistake? Or was I being smart? I wanted to wait for the perfect moment.

Was this it?

"I thought I had lost you again," I whispered, my voice edged with sadness. "I had finally gotten you back, and then you were gone . . ." I shut my mouth immediately. Gotten her back? I had never gotten her back. She wasn't mine . . .

"Oh Robin," she gasped, as if surprised at my confession. I wished I could take back the words. Why did I say that? I closed my eyes, breaking our contact, and didn't open them until I felt her hand rest lightly on my shoulder. She was closer now, and I could almost feel her body against mine, the way I had clutched her to me when Kendrick had cornered us. Her figure fit mine so perfectly, like she belonged there.

I wanted to hold her again.

"I've waited for so long to do this," I told her, gathering my courage. This was it. I wasn't going to back out this time. She looked at me, her once serious and emotional eyes now wide with surprise.

"Do what?" she asked. I smiled, and, with my hand still cupping her chin, brought her face closer to mine.

"This . . ." I wrapped my other arm around her waist and brought my face to hers, not yet shutting my eyes so I could watch for a sign of invitation or rejection. Her eyes closed first, and I felt relief and joy fill my body as I closed mine and my lips finally met hers.

Oh my God.

OH MY GOD!

I'M KISSING STARFIRE!

AND SHE'S KISSING ME!

YESSSSS!

I LOVE HER!

Fireworks were going off in my heart and I felt as if I were melting into her. I didn't think she would know what to do, but her lips parted almost immediately, welcoming me in. My mind was racing, but I didn't know exactly what was running through it. All I knew was that, finally, I had Starfire in my arms, where she belonged, and I never wanted to let her go.

Without breaking our kiss, she began to lean backwards until she was laying all the way down, her head on the pillow and me on top of her. As to not crush her, I supported my body weight with my elbows, and had my arms wrapped around her back, holding her to me. Her hands were roaming my back eagerly, then running through my jet black hair, which I was glad I hadn't gelled too stiffly today. We kissed each other hungrily, as if we needed each other for survival, and I knew Bruce had been right: "Luckily, you both need the same thing to be happy. Each other."

Finally, we needed air, and my lips reluctantly left hers. Our eyes opened and met, and she smiled at me. She had never been more beautiful to me than at that moment right there, with her silky ruby hair spread out on the pillow, her cheeks flushed, her emerald eyes sparkling, and her lips spread into a smile. Lips that were begging to be kissed again. Finally, after all these years, she was mine.

And finally, after all these years, I was going to say it.

"I love you, Robin." I looked at her lovingly, surprised. She had beaten me to it.

I came down and captured her lips once more, but not before whispering in her ear, "I love you, too, Star. I always have."


Eeeeee! Fluffles! It has been way too long. I have majorly missed writing fluff. Too bad this chapter was shorter, but the stupid action has to interrupt again. After all, Tamaran is expecting Starfire to be their Queen...uh oh. Hehehe conflict strikes again!

ARGH. They're not showing the new episode next weekend either! I'm so mad. But, what's this? I thought I'd share this with all of you, because I was surprised to hear it:

One of my reviewers, Princess Starfire of Tamaran, has heard that season 5 will be Starfire-based and will involve a ROBSTAR KISS? Where did you hear this? Is it true? I'm practically having a seizure over here I'm so excited. IS IT POSSIBLE? FINALLY? YAY!

Anyways.

IMPORTANT! So, with this fic coming to a close, I've been thinking about what's next. I was thinking about using a random idea that came to me that won't really have much of a plot, it'll just be a cute, fluffy thing. However, I have this other idea that I might be able to use as a sequel to this fic. I don't normally like doing sequels because they're harder to write but this idea might work. Maybe. So, it all depends on you guys. Do you want a sequel? If you do, then when this fic ends, I'll write the short, fluffy fic (probably called "What's Love?") to pass the time while I get my ideas together for the sequel. Or would you rather me do something completely independent and different? Let me know in your review.

Mr. Rogers- Glad you like my story, however, I'd like to think that I have more of a life than you since I'm not the one who has nothing better to do than dis people. Maybe you should take your own advice. Have a nice day, though.

Princess Starfire of Tamaran- Well, there you have it, finally they've gotten together. Where did you hear about Robin and Starfire's first kiss? I am SO excited, I can't believe that finally it's going to happen! YAY!

Babie A- Have you seen the TT episode "Haunted" where Raven meditates and as a black raven finds Robin? That's what she was doing in the last chapter. And Beast Boy said "oops" because he was saying it would take forever and for Raven it would only take a few minutes. Hope that cleared it up for ya.

Starfire-Rulz- I absolutely adored all the subtle RobStar things that were in Employee of the Month. I saw her holding his arm! I was like yay! And I can't wait until TROQ, but it's taking forever to come out! Stupid rerun people.

The Last- Thank you! I'm glad you liked that line, I didn't have it in there originally, but even I was so confused about what was happening that I decided the Titans (not to mention my readers) would be too. So that line pretty much got everyone on the same page. Thanks!

JulesFire- My hero. I know I've told you many times before, but your reviews . . . I love them! I always look forward to them because you point out certain parts and explain what's good or bad about them instead of being like "yay, super, update!" and that's all. It's helpful and inspiring. Yes, I have hope that one day Robin will explode (on the show), and the outcome will be amazing! Hope the fluff was good enough, there's more coming! I'm sorry your week was rough, and I'm glad that I could help! Feel better!

Swisscheese- Aww, thank you! That's what I aim for, so it's good to know. And I'm glad the chapter could fill in the blanks, because it was one of those chapters where I try to get everyone caught up because so much has happened that even I'm confused!

I have to wrap it up because I have to go to a movie in a couple minutes. I'm seeing Man of the House, so hopefully it's good. I love you guys and your reviews! So keep 'em up! Mwah!
