Simple Yet Complicated Love
Chapter One: A Simple Morning
"Hey Star? Can you go see if Robin's awake yet?" Beast Boy asked, opening the fridge and looking for some soymilk.
"Yeah, it's not like him to sleep 'til eleven-thirty in the morning," Cyborg added, flipping through the channels on the giant-screen TV.
Starfire nodded and flew up two flights of stairs and turned two corners before getting to Robin's room. She knocked on the door for a few seconds before stopping. She didn't hear anything in his room.
"Friend Robin! Have you awaken from your sleep yet?" she asked. She heard some rustling and some footsteps from his room before watching his door open.
Robin looked utterly tired. His mask was slightly tilted on his face and his hair was a complete mess.
"I see you have awoken!" she happily said, clapping her hands together. Her smile was very bright and happy.
Robin slightly smiled. "I guess you could say that."
"Why have you slept in so late?" Starfire asked, looking at him with concerned eyes. "Cyborg said it was not like you to sleep in this late."
"It isn't," he explained, yawning. "I was up until five this morning and didn't get much sleep after that."
"Why were you up ever so late?" she asked, tilting her head.
"'Couldn't get much sleep," he plainly explained. "My head was in a mess..."
"Your head seems fine to me," she said, confused. "Your head does not look like the inside of a trash can..."
Robin laughed. "What I mean was that there were a lot of thoughts running through my head. Thought after thought came popping into my head..."
"Like the popping of popcorn?" she asked.
Robin shrugged. "Sure."
She nodded before gasping. "May I please tell everyone about us today?" she asked, her voice begging.
Starfire and Robin had been dating for two months that exact day. Starfire wanted to tell everyone the "joyous" news at that exact moment (when Robin had asked her out), but he objected to it. He wanted to wait until he was ready to tell everyone, because he knew that Cyborg and Beast Boy would react immaturely to such news.
"No, Star. N-not right now." He sighed, scratching his head. He saw the look of sadness and confusion of Starfire's face and his heart began to ache. "I'm sorry, okay? Maybe later this week."
"Really?" she asked, her eyes glittering. Her voice sounded happier.
He shrugged. "Possibly. Hey, I'll be down in a few minutes, okay?"
She nodded and jumped forward to give Robin a comforting hug. The hug wasn't as bone crushing as it had been if she had hugged anyone else in the team. "Oh, boyfriend Robin, I love you!"
He chucked and returned the hug. "I love you, too, Star."
She let go of him and beamed. "I will be awaiting your arrival in the area of the Main Room. Perhaps Beast Boy will beat Cyborg at their games of video?"
Robin laughed, shaking his head. "I highly doubt it, Star. Not unless Cyborg isn't thinking while playing."
She giggled and walked down the hallway. Upon entering the Main Room area, she found Raven sitting on the couch, reading a book. She noticed that Beast Boy and Cyborg playing one of their car racing games on the GameStation2.
Starfire walked down the stairs and over to the couch, where she sat down next to Raven. "Friend Raven, which book have you decided to read today?" she asked.
"Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," Raven answered, not looking up from the book.
Beast Boy snorted. "Puh-lease. Harry Potter is such a LOSER!" he said, not taking his eyes of the screen.
"Please, who is this Potter of Harry?" Starfire asked, confused by who Beast Boy and Raven were talking about.
"He's this boy with freaky powers," Cyborg explained.
"Oh, so he is like Raven?" Starfire asked.
Beast Boy immediately started laughing. Cyborg grinned. Raven looked over at Starfire, a menacing look on her face.
"I do not have freaky powers," Raven explained, her voice slightly getting angry. "But, yes, he is like me. In a sense, anyway. We can both summon powers by chants and we both powerful."
Beast Boy snorted again. "Yeah, right. The dude is freaking weird! Come on, how can a spell that kills anyone leave only a mark shaped like a lightning bolt on his head?"
"Like I said, he's powerful," Raven plainly explained. She then snapped the book shut and placed it on the table in front of her. She then stood up and looked at Starfire. "I'm going to make some tea. You want some?"
Starfire shook her head. "No thank you, Friend Raven. I will instead get some juice of orange from the fridge!"
Together, they walked over to the Kitchen area of the house. Starfire grabbed the jug of orange juice out of the fridge while Raven put water into the kettle and placed it on the heating stovetop.
Starfire poured herself a glass of orange juice. After doing so, she placed the jug back into the fridge. She grabbed her glass and walked back to the couch where she continued watching Cyborg and Beast Boy.
Soon enough, Raven's kettle started to screech. Raven quickly shut off the stove and grabbed the kettle, pouring the hot water into a mug. She put the kettle back onto the stove and grabbed a tea bag, placing it into the steaming mug. She then walked back over to the couch and sat down next to Starfire.
"So, did you wake up spiky head?" Cyborg asked, placing the controller on the ground and turning off the TV.
"DUDE! I want a rematch this INSTANT!" Beast Boy exclaimed, glaring at Cyborg.
"Man, I bet you three times straight. There's no way I'm playing you again. Not right now, anyway," Cyborg said.
"Robin said he would join us in a few minutes," Starfire explained.
Cyborg nodded. "It's taking him long enough. I bet he feel right back asleep..."
"Do you know why he hasn't woken up yet?" Beast Boy asked, throwing the controller on the ground and looking at Starfire.
"He did not fall asleep until the hour of five this morning," Starfire exclaimed.
"DUDE!! That's pretty late!" Beast Boy exclaimed, his eyes wide with shock.
"Why didn't he go to sleep until then?" Raven asked.
"He said his head was "in a mess", and that he could not fall asleep," Starfire plainly explained.
"Man, I hope that kid's not after Slade again," Cyborg muttered.
"We all know Slade's gone. Robin knows Slade is gone. He learned that the hard way, remember?" Raven explained.
"He probably was thinking about a special someone..." Beast Boy muttered, grinning at Starfire.
Cyborg laughed. "Hah! You're probably right."
Starfire slightly blushed. She wanted to tell them that her and Robin were dating so badly, but she knew Robin would get upset with her. She then laughed. "What person would he be thinking about?" she asked.
Cyborg and Beast Boy looked at each other before laughing.
"What's so funny?" Robin asked, walking over to them.
"Man, what took you?" Cyborg asked as Robin sat down next to Starfire.
"Yeah, dude, why'd you go to sleep at five?" Beast Boy asked, raising an eyebrow at Robin's actions.
"Oh, well-"
"Whatever, Star already told us," Beast Boy muttered. "Anyway, we have plans today!"
"We better not go to a meat factory again," Raven muttered. "Last time we went, you started yelling at the workers about animal cruelty."
"And then we walked into one room were we saw how they killed the animals, and you started crying. Not a lovely sight," Cyborg added.
"Dude, I've been every animal that they have killed! I can only IMAGINE what they've gone through in their short lives," Beast Boy muttered, a frown appearing on his face.
"Friend Beast Boy, what plans do you wish for us to do today?" Starfire asked, looking at Beast Boy.
Beast Boy's face then light up. "We're going to the movies!!"
"What movie are we seeing?" Cyborg asked.
"The Ring 2!!" Beast Boy loudly exclaimed, jumping in the air.
"Um, that doesn't come out for another two months," Raven explained, eyeing Beast Boy.
"Well, there's a special screening today, and we're part of the fifty people that actually get to see it before anyone else," Beast Boy explained, grinning.
"Oh, great, let's watch Beast Boy laugh at the whole movie," Raven muttered.
"Please, Raven, the first one was AWESOME!! I heard the second one is BRILLIANT!" Beast Boy exclaimed.
"What is this ring of which you speak?" Starfire asked.
"It's about this girl who kills you seven days after watching this freaky video!" Beast Boy explained, trying to put on a scary voice.
"Please, little man. That movie is as lame as your tofu," Cyborg said, rolling his human eye.
"Lay off my tofu!" Beast Boy said, glaring at Cyborg.
"Let's just head to the movies before we're late," Raven said, pulling her cloak over her head and standing up.
"Raven's right. Beast Boy, you have the tickets, right?" Robin asked, also at standing up.
Beast Boy nodded and pulled out five tickets from his pocket. "Absolutely."
"Alright, let's go!" Robin said as they all walked out the door.
A/N: Alright, this may be kind of lame for a first chapter...please review!!
