Chapter 2- Not so Hot Ay'?

"Robin," a sweet voice whispered, "Robin is that you?"

He recognized that voice anywhere, and it belonged to the person he secretly admired. It was the girl he had dreamt about so many nights before. It was the only Titan he looked forward to seeing every morning. She was the one who cheered him up on a bad day, or comforted him when he made a mistake. It was her. It was Starfire.

He blushed and felt his pulse quicken as the girl came closer to his bed. "Ah….Starfire," Robin said curiously. "What are you doing here?"

"Robin, you are…okay," Starfire asked.

"I'm alright…I guess," he said trying to hide his face.

"I heard you cry. Perhaps you weep for your kanorfka?

"No, I just had a bad dream," Robin explained.

She looked at him strangely. "If this 'dream' of yours was bad then why did you wish to have it?"

Robin chuckled at her remark as Starfire came and sat next to him on his bed. She settled close by him and made herself comfortable as Robin scooted himself over giving her more room. Robin looked over her with hungry eyes, noticing how pleasant she looked setting there like an adoring angel watching over him. She perched herself next to him with her legs close to her side. She leaned slightly forward towards Robin with her hand firmly placed on the bed, forcing her arm to align and rested her chin on her elevated shoulder. It wasn't often that he got to see her in her night clothes he thought to himself. She wore a short, sleeveless white gown with a perma violet trim that ended just above her knees. It had what looked like a yellow daisy with a white center that inevitably brought attention to her chest. The light from the doorway cast a pleasant white glow on her face making her eyes sparkle in the dim light that all the more brought out her beauty.

"I've, never really seen you in your night gown before," Robin commented.

"Oh," she said nervously, "…do you not wish to see me in it? Shall I change for you and come back?"

"No, it looks—" he paused thinking of the right word to say, "nice."

Starfire giggled happily. "Thank you friend, you too look most—" she paused scanning over his body then started giggling again.

"What," Robin asked with a playful grin on his face.

Starfire smiled and said, "I believe I can see your," she giggled, "underpants."

Robin looked down at his lap, now realizing that he was giving Starfire a pleasurable view of his underwear.

"Oh, ah—" he blushed profusely scrambling to find his sheets in the dim light.

Starfire laughed quietly watching her friend skittishly trying to pull the covers over his waist.

Little did Robin know as she sat their watching, she too was thinking of him the same ways he was thinking of her. She never really had the privilege of seeing him in his "nighttime apparel," and it was a treat for her to find out the answer to her question of "boxers or briefs." He wore a white undershirt and a pair of multi-toned blue striped boxers. He still had his mask on since he never takes it off, and the white light projected from the doorway cast an attractive glow on her secret crush's face that she too admired.

Robin finished covering himself up and looked back up at Starfire satisfied that she could no longer see his lack of clothing. There was utter silence in the room when their eyes met as they sat there motionlessly gazing at one another. They broke eye contact and quickly looked down at their laps, trying to conceal their crimson red faces. They looked back at each other blushing with a light shade of pink still in their faces. Starfire paused and her face was now replaced with a look of utter curiosity. Robin was somewhat shocked in her sudden change of expression, and looked around the room.

"Um….is everything alright Star," he asked as a sweat drop went down the side of his face (ya know, Japanese anime style).

"Robin," she paused. "Are you not feeling well?"

"What do you mean?"

"As Beast Boy would say," she hesitated thinking of what Beast Boy would say, "you look pasty…"

At that Robin felt suddenly cold, his body soar everywhere and he looked like that of a ghost. His skin was white as snow and he still had cold sweat running off his face.

"No I feel fine Star really," he lied.

"On my world, such color would indicate a case of the--" she reached over and felt Robin's forehead.

She looked at her hand which was now turning bright red and beginning to steam making a sizzling noise like frying bacon. She paused frozen in time as her hand on Robin's forehead was slowly burning her. Although her reaction was delayed, she quickly pulled away and jumped out of the bed before letting out a long cry of pain:

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH," she yelled her hand now on fire.

Starfire ran around the room like a headless chicken trying to blow out the flame, yelling and screaming along the way. Robin sighed, and was now feeling as bad as Starfire had said he looked.

Cyborg woke up from the sounds of Starfire coming from upstairs. Red in the face and boiling with anger, he quickly got off of his table and stomped his way, causing the whole tower to shake, up to Robin's room. "YO MAN WHO'S MAKIN' ALL THAT RACKET!?!" Cyborg yelled standing in Robin's doorway furious.

Beast Boy and Raven were shortly there after.

"YEAH! DUDES," Beast Boy shouted. "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT TIME IT IS!?! YOU INTERUPTED MY BEAUTY SLEEP!! DON'T YOU KNOW A LACK OF SLEEP CAUSES WRINKLES!?!"

Raven gave Beast Boy a lame stair looking below his waist and then back up at him. It was her first time as well for seeing one of her friends in their "nighttime apparel, which consisted only of a pair of white and green boxers with little smiling Beast Boy heads.

She looked back at Robin and said "It's late, why are you two making so much noise?" Her speech began to slow as her attention was drawn to Starfire running past them. "There, are other people living here ya know," Raven said in her monotone voice.

Cyborg and Beast Boy stood there watching their strange alien friend Starfire, running about Robin's room with her hand still aflame. Feeling he had watched long enough, Cyborg abruptly grabbed her and firmly placed her before them. Beast Boy then changed into an Elephant and drenched Starfire with water from his long nose. He put out her flaming hand and turned back into his human form.

"Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh," Starfire sighed. "Thank you friend Beast Boy."

"Um…..no sweat…ha," Beast Boy replied, somewhat confused.

"So-- what were you two doing this late anyway," Raven asked looking at Robin and Starfire with raised eye brows.

There was a long awkward silence throughout the room as the three Titans standing in the doorway looked shockingly at their two friends.

"Our friend Robin has had a dream of badness and is ill," Starfire said looking at Robin and then back at her friends. "I think he has a… Trimlorp," the room went silent.

"A what," Cyborg asked just as confused as everyone else.

"Isn't that the guy on the front of the Quaker Oats box," asked Beast Boy.

"I think she means Robin's sick," Raven said correcting him.

"Still think it's the Quaker Oats guy," he mumbled crossing his arms.

"No guys really, I'm fine," Robin said as he melted like wax in his bed.

"He doesn't seem that bad," Raven said. "Lets all just go back to bed. We've got bad guys to take care of tomorrow."

"Yeah, you should all go back to sleep I'm sure I'll be better in the morn—" his sentence was cut short as Robin felt something rise in his stomach.

"Oh boy," he said with a distressed look on his face then quickly leaned over the side of his bed and threw up…vigorously…

The rest of the Titans stood there shocked and appalled at the sounds and noises coming out of their friend's mouth. Robin was on all fours over the side of his bed letting out God only knows what for how much longer. The other four Titans sighed and briefly fainted simultaneously, slamming to the ground with a loud CRASH!!

"He'll be fine tomorrow, " Raven said in a merciless tone quickly standing back up. "If not we'll deal with him then, I'm going back to bed, I suggest you all do the same." She walked out of the doorway.

"Yeah man we'll take care of ya in the morning, just get some rest," said Cyborg as he too went back to his room. "Night ya'll."

"Yeah what he said," Beast Boy said yawningly.

Alone in the room again, Robin and Starfire made eye contact once more before Starfire finally said, "I wish your health be returned to you friend Robin," she paused then looked off to the side trying to conceal her blushing face. "Do you wish for me to keep you company on this night, perhaps you may need assistance," she asked shyly.

Robin sat there almost confused as to what had just come out of her mouth. It took him a few moments to process what she had just asked him and what it could or could not have meant. In his mind he said to himself, "yes, yes Star, I'd love for you to stay with me tonight," but said the exact opposite of what he wanted. "No thanks Star, I wouldn't want you getting sick too, I'll be alright."

"…oh," she said looking down at her feet disappointed, "pleasant Borbalogs then."

"Goodnight Star," Robin said watching her figure as she left the room

Robin lay back down on his pillow wishing she would stay the night with him. He listened to the fading sound of her foot steps in the distance as she made her way to her quarters. Already, he missed her. Robin laid there on his bed analyzing what had just happened, and what he had just said. He pondered this for a short while before finding himself in the same position earlier vomiting off the side of his bed.

A/N:

So what'd you guys think!?! Much, much longer this time around huh, I hope I didn't bore all of you or drag this on too much. Riles if you read this I don't know if "borbalogs" is a word you came up with or something from the show, but if it's something you made up I'll get rid of it and I'm sorry cowers under desk Please give me some feed back, and don't worry this is gonna start heating up within the next 2 to 3 chapters and It'll be full of Action and Suspense! LOL. To my two reviews out there, thanks a mil.

Infamous One- Thanks for reviewin' I hope you come back and read more as my story progresses, and I'll be sure to check out some of your fics as well.

Alexnandru Van Gordan- You rock, thank you so much for reading my story I'm SOOOO HAPPY you liked it. I was giggling like a school girl when I read your review. It took me a while to finally finish the printed copy cause I went back God only knows how many times revising everything I wrote. And your comment about Deathstroke, that's awesome you're usin' him too. Don't get me wrong Slade is BY FAR one of my most favorite bad guys, but honestly…Deathstroke just sounds cooler too me, and it refers to the comics back in the day, so it's more…original. But anyway, hope to see more of your reviews in the future and I think you're really gonna like what I got in store for this story. Thanks.
