Chapter 2 – My one and only
Starfire clashed the door of Titans Tower and closed her eyes. She leant against the wall, trying to acknowledge what she had just seen. She fell and sat on the floor. She had never felt this feeling before, her head felt fuzzy and her mouth felt dry, a feeling rose up through her chest and up to her throat.
The door opened and Robin walked in.
"Starfire!" he cried seeing her sitting on the floor.
She stood up immediately and they stood face to face.
"I'm sorry," she said out of the blue.
"Huh? For what?" He said, looking a little taken aback.
"For overreacting like that, it was silly of me." She said.
"What are you talking about?" he said.
"Well, it's not like you and I are together, and it's really none of my business who you choose to have a relationship with," she said, forcing a half-hearted smile.
"No, you don't understand-" he started.
"I know, I don't understand, here you are, telling me you want a commitment free relationship, then getting it on with some random girl at a club, I suppose it was love at first sight." She snapped.
"No, It's not like that, I mean, I didn't even know her name," he retorted.
"Oh! Oh! That makes it so much better, I understand now! I completely forgive you!" She shouted.
"Look, we had a row, she came up to me, and out of nowhere she just kissed me," he explained calmly.
"Robin, I don't want to hear! Do you know how painful it was for me to see that?" she asked.
"About as painful as wanting to go out with you for so long and not being able to say anything because I was scared of your reaction?" he snapped.
"You say that, but I don't think it was the fear of rejection, it was the fear of being angered at the thought that someone doesn't want you? You think you're perfect Robin? You think you're so worthy that you can get whatever you want?" she said spitefully.
"So, now you're telling me that you don't want any type of relationship with me? At all?" he asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Maybe I did before, but now I don't think I do. No. I thought you were special Robin, but it turns out you're just a typical guy!" she said, starting to turn away.
"Oh, and you would know? You've been out with so many guys you're totally clued up on them? I think not!" he shouted after her.
She merely responded by giving him a filthy look.
He sighed, walking after her.
"Look, I'm sorry okay, please, please forgive me and come back to the party with me?" he asked, holding onto her arm, his eyes wide.
She quavered for a second, tilting her head to one side. She looked like she was going to say yes, but she sighed and turned away.
"I can't, I need, I need some time. I need time to think," she said.
And with that she locked herself up in her room.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
November grew thin, as the month came to a close, the air became icier and the wind, more sharp.
Robin patted his forehead with a towel. He breathed heavily and looked at the clock. He'd been working out for almost an hour now and was exhausted. He walked into the living area to take a glass of water.
"Hey, where's Star?" he asked Raven who was lying on the couch, flicking the top of a milk carton every few seconds.
Raven hesitated.
"She's um, she went to get some um shopping…" she said suspiciously.
"What's going on?" he asked turning to look at Beast Boy and Cyborg who quickly directed their gazes to the ceiling.
"I have to go um look at some…books," Beast Boy said getting up.
"I, I want to see them too, um wait for me," Cyborg said getting up to follow.
Robin raised his eyebrow.
"Seriously, what's going on?" Robin said, turning to Raven who had resumed flicking the milk carton.
"Star, well, she's kind of well went out on a da-" Raven said before being interrupted by Starfire walking through the door.
They both turned to look at her, but she was not alone.
Everyone stood in awkward silence for a few moments.
"Um, Robin, Raven, this is Gary, Gary, these are my friends Robin and Raven," she said, trying to smile her hardest.
"'Sup," Gary said raising a hand.
"Um, hello Gary," Raven said, looking from Robin to Gary who were now staring at each other intensely.
"Well, Gary and I have just came to pick up my coat, it well, it started to rain," Starfire said, before going upstairs.
Raven stood in the middle of Robin and Gary.
"I'll help you pick one out!" Raven called after Starfire and hurried upstairs.
Beast Boy flicked his head up from behind the sofa for a moment.
"What's happening?" Cyborg whispered.
"Nothing, they're just standing there," Beast Boy whispered back.
"How much do you want to bet that Robin will go crazy?" Cyborg asked.
"I don't know yet, but, shh, he's saying something," Beast Boy said.
"So, um, it's cold," Gary said.
"Well, it is November, what do you expect?" Robin said, coldly.
"Uh, yeah," Gary said.
"Look, Robin," Gary started, "I know you and Star kind of had a thing but I really like her, and I hope there's no hard feelings?" Gary said.
Beast Boy looked at Cyborg. "Reckon he'll snap?" he asked.
"Just, just treat her well. She's a wonderful person and she deserves to be given the best," Robin sighed.
Cyborg and Beast Boy looked at each other in surprise.
"I have my coat!" Starfire said, running down the stairs.
"Let's go then," Gary said, jumping up suddenly and swiftly heading for the door.
Starfire turned her head and briefly looked at Robin as she headed out the door.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Starfire came in quite late. She sighed. Everyone was probably asleep by now. She tossed her keys sideward onto the table.
"Have fun?" Robin asked, appearing suddenly by the fridge.
"Oh, Robin, you surprised me," she said, putting her hand to her heart.
"Well, how was your date?" he asked again.
"It was okay," she smiled.
"So, was bringing him here a deliberate attempt to hurt me?" Robin asked, raising one eyebrow.
"No," she said defensively "Of course not," she said.
"Okay," he said sarcastically.
"Robin, don't," she sighed.
"I know I hurt you, but I apologised and I am feeling so hurt right now, but now, you've hurt me twice as bad," he said, walking through the door, leaving her alone.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Starfire looked at Gary. He smiled a goofy smile kissed her. She sighed, Gary was so lovely and he was so nice, but he wasn't Robin and would never be. He was nowhere near the perfect person she wanted.
He kissed her again.
"Stop it," she whispered.
"Huh?" he asked surprised.
"Look, Gary, I like you, but, I'm doing this for all the wrong reasons, I'm only doing this to get back at Robin, It's not very fair to you," she said.
He licked his lip and looked at the floor.
"I guess I can understand that," he said.
Starfire smiled and apologised.
"I'm truly sorry, but, please can we be friends?" she asked.
"Yeah, of course, you should be with who you think you belong with," he said, taking her had into his.
She nodded.
"Go get him Star," he laughed.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Robin sat at the roof. Hanging his head like a scolded puppy. He looked at the clouds and closed his eyes.
"Robin?" came the voice of Starfire from behind him.
"Star," he said.
She sat down beside him and smiled.
"I thought you were out with Gary," Robin said.
"We broke up," she said, looking into the distance.
"Why?" he asked.
"I don't really know. I've thought about it and the only reason I can come up with is that he isn't you Robin. You're the only one I've ever wanted." She said, blushing slightly.
"Really?" he said.
"Yes. It's always been you," she said.
"You've always been the only one for me too." He said.
"And we have to make this work, no secrets, no lies, we have to get this to work," she said.
He nodded, taking her hand in his, and pulling her close.
Starfire lay against his chest, as the sunset came into view. He slid his fingers through her hair and looked into the crimson sky.
They both lay until the midnight blue sky created shadows in the river surrounding Titans Tower. And the first day of December started to dawn, and with it, a new future.
