A/N: Thanks to everyone who reviewed! Oh, and Babie A, I DO like Harry Potter! I love the books and the movies. Sorry if that dialogue offended you, I just needed some action between other characters. On to the story
Chapter Two: Bothersome
"Dude, that was the GREATEST movie EVER!!" Beast Boy exclaimed, jumping up and down from the excitement.
"Especially when the girl climbed up that well!" Cyborg chimed in, just as excited.
"And how Rachel tried to fight Samara while she was climbing out of the TV!" Beast Boy continued.
"And how Samara took over Aiden!" Cyborg added.
"I think it was quite funny how Rachel thought the whole 'Ring' process was over," Raven muttered.
"I have to agree with Raven," Robin said. "Overall, it was a good movie."
"It wasn't GOOD, it was-" Beast Boy started.
"It was great, yeah, so we heard," Raven finished as Beast Boy slightly frowned at her.
Starfire remained quiet as the five Titans walked back towards their T-shaped tower. She was frightened by the film, and she knew she was the only one who actually was afraid. She kept a smile on her face, for if she didn't, everyone would know something was up.
But Robin could see right through her. Usually, she was more active in conversations, especially after the watched movies. As he continued talking with the two guys, he would occasionally look at Starfire through the corner of his eye.
"So, Rae, on a scale from one to ten, how would you rate the scary parts of the movie?" Beast Boy asked.
Robin quietly walked over to Starfire while Raven responded the question with "Six". She smiled at him. He smiled back.
"So, Star, what's up?" he asked, looking straight ahead (so he wouldn't bump into anything).
"What do you mean?" she asked, looking at him.
"You're awfully quiet," he stated, grinning. "And usually you're very outgoing, and very open with things you have just seen, touched, felt..."
"Oh, that movie was entertaining," Starfire said, nodding.
Robin raised his eyebrow. "Mm-hmm. Star, were you scared by the movie?" he asked.
She remained quiet for a moment, looking straight ahead. "It was a bit scary, friend Robin. I got scared...at some moments..."
"So that's why you're not talking?" Robin asked, slightly frowning.
Starfire nodded, now smiling at him.
He smiled back. "Hey, don't be scared," he said, patting her back. "I bet by tomorrow, Beast Boy will be looking around every corner and making sure he's not alone watching TV."
Starfire let out a giggle. Robin sighed happily. She leaned over and hugged Robin, who blushed a crimson color and hugged her back.
"GET A ROOM!!" Beast Boy and Cyborg yelled in their ears.
Robin and Starfire quickly jumped away from each other, surprised by the sudden outburst. They were now both blushing. Starfire tried to smile, and almost managed to completely smile. Robin, though, had this sort of goofy look on his face, which made Cyborg and Beast Boy started laughing.
"Awe, is Robbie-poo embarrassed by Star hugging him?" Cyborg cooed, grabbing Robin's cheeks and squeezing them.
Robin only glared at Cyborg while his cheeks were being toyed with. He knew something like that would happen, even if him and Star weren't dating. "Get off me," he muttered angrily.
Cyborg reluctantly let go of his cheeks, muttering something about "bossy spiky-headed boy idiot".
The Titans remained silent on the way back to their home, with the exception of Beast Boy going on and on about The Ring 2.
"You love the movie," Raven said in her usual monotonous tone. "We get it. We've all seen the movie. We all saw it with you. We know what it's about. We know what you love, since you've told us what you loved about the movie about, oh, ten times already." That shut Beast Boy up.
About five minutes later, they got across the ocean and to the T-Tower, where they walked inside and did their own things. Robin sat down and laid his head back, his eyes shut. Cyborg went off into one of the rooms to work on one of his new inventions. Beast Boy sat on another couch and started flipping through the channels. Raven went up to her room and started to meditate. Starfire went up to her room and laid on her bed, thinking about the previous day.
"Dude, you look so tired," Beast Boy said, finally settling on one channel and looking over at Robin.
"Yeah, didn't get much sleep last night, remember?" Robin asked, tilting his head up and looking at Beast Boy.
Beast Boy nodded. "Any PARTICULAR reason why you were up so late?" he asked, a hint of suspicion in his voice.
"What're you talking about?" Robin asked, raising his eyebrow.
"Oh, maybe there was a special someone that you couldn't stop thinking about..." Beast Boy said, grinning.
"Even if I was thinking about someone, Beast Boy, whom would I be thinking about? Who would that special someone be?" Robin asked before tilting his head back and shutting his eyes.
"Starfire," the changeling replied, his voice plain and simple.
"Yeah, whatever," the leader mumbled. He wanted to tell Beast Boy about his relationship with Starfire. She wanted to tell EVERYONE about their relationship, but he wouldn't let her...or either of them, for that matter.
"You're hiding something."
"Leave it alone, Beast Boy. Go back to flipping the channels. Give your hand some exercise or something..."
"Dude, admit it. You like – no, you LOVE Starfire."
"I said leave it alone!" Robin snapped, immediately standing up and walking to his room. He quickly shut the door and plopped onto his bed, his face buried into his pillow. He groaned loudly, hitting the bed. It was bad enough he didn't tell Beast Boy; it was that the green changeling was being persistent about it.
He then turned around and was now lying on his back. He placed an arm over his stomach, and placed the other behind his head. He sighed and shut his eyes, thinking. Millions of thoughts, all good and bad, ran through his head.
Starfire looked through a box of hers. Ever since she arrived on Earth, she kept a box of things she thought were the best things of the planet. Most of the objects in the box were indeed photos, but there were a few toys, "lucky" charms, and such other things. She grabbed one of her many photo albums and started flipping through it.
The album she was looking through had more recent pictures of the Titans. The first few pages were extremely up-close pictures of the Titans. There was a picture of Beast Boy's nose, a picture of one of Raven's eyes, a picture of Robin's hair, and a picture of Cyborg's legs. Indeed, Starfire could not take pictures. She merely giggled at the pictures and continued flipping through the pages.
She then came across a page of pictures of just her and Robin. She sighed. Her sigh was filled sadness, despair, and dreamily. She had always (and still does) found the Boy Wonder quite handsome for someone so scrawny and stubborn. She noticed two of the pictures of themselves at the Tower, and the other two were of them on their first (and so far only) date.
She then quietly shut the book and put it back in the box. She then shut the box and put it back on the top of one of her shelves.
She then walked out of her room and up to the roof, where she found that it was empty. She smiled to herself. Normally, she would enjoy the company, but today, she just wanted to be alone. She sat down on the edge of the roof and looked towards the many buildings in Jump City.
"Oh, friend Robin, why must you keep "us" a secret?" Starfire wondered. He had already told her numerous times, but she often wondered if he was hiding something from her. "Am I not good enough?" she asked herself.
She quickly shook her head. "I am. I – we both are good enough for each other. Maybe if I just tell one person...no, he will get mad..." She sighed in frustration. She then heard the sound of a door opening.
"Oh, I guess I'll just go to my room..."
Starfire quickly turned around and saw Raven getting ready to go back down to her room. She quickly flew over to her friend and stood in front of her.
"Friend Raven!" she exclaimed, clapping her hands together. "Can I ask you something?"
Raven, who had her hood over her head, just stared at her for a moment. "Okay."
"Okay, well...say you had some troubles with a "guy friend" of yours. You see, I want to tell everyone about something secret of mine, but I cannot. This other person forbids me to do so. What should I do?" Starfire asked.
"Do what you think is right," Raven said. "If you feel like you must tell everyone, discuss your needs to do so with this "other person". Or, you can skip telling this "other person" and just tell everyone. Or, you can keep it a secret."
"Oh, thank you Friend Raven!" Starfire exclaimed, throwing her arms around Raven and tightly hugging her.
"Star...need...air..." Raven choked.
Starfire quickly let go of Raven and let her regain her posture. "I am sorry, Raven."
Raven shook her head. "Whatever. I'll be on the roof meditating." She then quickly walked off.
Starfire walked downstairs into the Main Room and found Beast Boy watching TV. "Friend Beast Boy, what are you watching?" she asked, sitting down on an opposite couch.
"Oh, just a movie about this girl who lives in Australia. She's overweight, dropped out of school, now lives with her handicapped friend, wants to get married, does get married, then finds her Mom killed herself..." Beast Boy explained.
"What an "interesting" movie. May I accompany you in watching it?" Starfire asked, now also watching the movie.
"Sure."
A/N: I hope everyone enjoyed this chapter! I know this one might have seemed weird, but the next one will be better! Also, can anyone guess the movie they're watching?
