Hey all of you! I'm back with another chapter. Man, I'm really getting these out pretty fast. Well it's soon going to wrap up, and no I don't think there will be any other huge twists, but you never know eh? Well without firther ado, I present Chapter Fourteen: The Talk.

Robin, having failed on his last two attempts to tell Raven that he loved her was about to give up. 'It's too hard to get to her, she's always with Beast Boy, and everything I make or get for her, Starfire seems to think its hers. This is getting too difficult, I wonder if I should just give up.' He thought to himself as he sat on his bed. 'Is that what happens when something bad happens? You give up?' He said right back at himself; the argument in his own head was growing. 'Whatever, but listen even if she says no, you can be satisfied knowing that you told her that you love her. But it's not a big deal right now, you have to go and see Starfire, remember? She wanted to talk to you, so get going.' With this, he obeyed the voice in his head and exited his room, heading towards the living room where the beautiful, young alien was awaiting his presence.

Beast Boy and Raven were still walking home when they stopped into a café where it was poetry night and Raven wanted to stop on in and see if there were any worthwhile poems to be heard.

Beast Boy was reluctant, but agreed to go in just because he wanted Raven to be happy.

A waiter came up to their table and asked them if they wanted anything to drink. Raven said that she would just like an herbal tea and Beast Boy said he would like the same.

"You never liked my tea before." Raven said to the green one that sit just in front of her with a puzzled look on her face.

"Maybe it's because I never gave it a shot before." He said right back to her with a wink.

The rest of the time they were there they listened to beautiful poetry while sitting next to each other, hand in hand and loving every moment of it. They were both truly happy, and could wish for nothing better.

Back at the Tower, Robin had just entered the living room to see Starfire sitting on the couch awaiting her friend so that she could tell him the secret that had been held within for so very long. It needed to be shown to him, it beckoned to be let out, to be let free, and she was going to obey.

'She sure does look beautiful right now.' Robin said to himself. 'What are you saying? Remember, you love Raven. Don't go switching on me.' Robin's mind was yelling at him.

He took a long look at Starfire, and smiled when he saw her, she did then same when she turned her head and saw the boy of her dreams standing right in front of her.

'I love him so much, yet he does not return my feelings? Why? I am not sure, but he needs to know, no matter what.' Starfire told herself

Robin sat next to Starfire, and she sort of turned her head so that Robin would not see the rush of blood that ran straight into her face.

"You said that you wanted to talk with me Star?" Robin finally let out, choking a bit on the words as they exited his mouth.

"Yes, this is true Robin. I need to talk to you. There is something I do not understand." Starfire began to say very slowly, she wanted this to be said just right. No slip-ups, no mistakes were allowed, this had to be perfect. "I do not understand us. You see, I have had these feelings for you for a very long time and they need to be expressed."

"Woah, Starfire, wait a second. What feelings are you talking about here?" Robin said, not knowing that she loves him.

"Robin..I love you." Starfire said straight out with no hesitation. "I have for so very long, ever since we have first met. Ever since I met you, my first day here on Earth, I have loved you. I never told you until now because I was afraid that you might not return these feelings of unbridled love. But now is the time for them to be revealed and for me to express my true love for you. Robin, I love you and I always have." Starfire said, concluding her lengthy speech.

Robin, now knowing what to say just looked, dumbfounded at Starfire. 'What did she just say? Did she just say that she loves me?' Robin thought to himself. 'She is a very special person, and I do like to spend time with her. Maybe she is the one instead of Raven…' Robin shook his head and said nothing at all, he just sat there in silence. Eventually he got up and preceded out the door, he needed to think about all this.

He got to the door and turned around, Starfire was looking at him. He wanted to say something, he really had wanted to, but the words were stuck in his throat and he could not speak. He turned and walked out the door saying nothing, and left a sobbing and heartbroken Starfire behind him.

"That was an interesting time." Raven said, as she was hugging Beast Boy. They were now back on their way to the tower.

"Yeah." Beast Boy said simply. "It was interesting. All those poets speaking from their heart, you can really get a sense of their life through their work."

Raven looked up into Beast Boy's eyes and had a look on her face that seemed to say 'What that something intelligent spoken from this man?'

As they were walking down the sidewalk, they passed a street side flower merchant who was selling roses.

As they passed, Beast Boy told Raven to hold on a second. He went over to the vendor and bought a rose from him. When he got back, he presented Raven with a beautiful red rose.

"Red is the colour of passion, of love. This rose is a perfect symbol of my love for you, because, Raven, I love you so much." Beast Boy said from the heart.

Raven said nothing, just took Beast Boy's head in her hands and kissed him very deeply.
