Hey guys and Oh my god, your reviews were awesome! And sorry to Mephisto2022 about chapter 4 yeah it was kind lame wasn't it, but thanks I thought chapter 6 was way better to. Thanks also to Batya…all the stuff you said was nice, thanks! Thanks to everyone else that reviewed, I haven't got a flame yet: p. Anyways… this chapters on the guys, it might be a bit random considering I haven't even thought about what I'm going to write yet so….here it goes!
"BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP". Robin groaned and shifted under his sheets twisting so he faced the side of his bed where his alarm clock sat, this was exactly why he hated mornings.
"Stupid damn alarm", he grunted, "I swear I set it at 10am not five". Then he remembered. Cyborg had insisted they'd get up early in order to get "Operation get Beastboy with Raven" well under way before the time breakfast began in Titans Tower. He groaned again and swinging his legs over the edge of the bed heaved himself up with extreme effort. Ruffling his hair with his hands he glanced side on into the mirror which stood on the wall near the foot of his bed. "BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP, BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP", his alarm rang.
"Oh shut up already", he yelled smashing it a little too hard with his fist, "Oops…!" He said the remains of the alarm clock scattering across his already messy floor.
"Great, now I need a new one". He yawned, "I really hate mornings".
"Hey Robin", he could her Cyborg calling from outside, "Get your puny butt out here, we got plans to make".
"Hang on", he yelled back, "just getting changed". "Jeesh", he muttered under his breath annoyed, "can't a guy take his time anymore?"
"No!" Cyborg called back, "Not when that guy is Robin and not when that guy's friend's love life is on the line!"
"Damn, your stupid hearing sensors", he muttered again.
"Hey, I heard that!"
"Mumble, grumble, mumble…"
"Heard that too!"
Robin finally pulling on his left glove and his mask opened the door of his room and stepped into the hallway, grunted. "This is why I hate early mornings". He entered the lounge room (is that what it is?) expecting to see Cyborg sitting on the lounge with a chalk board and maybe some maps of Titans Tower with hidden trap doors that lead to Ravens room or something like that, but instead there sat Cyborg with none other then…
"Starfire????????"
"It seems we have a new recruit on the team", Cyborg said getting up from the couch and nudging Robin in the ribs.
"Oh Joyous morning greetings to you friend Robin!" yelled Starfire as she launched across the room with tremendous speed and developed him in a hug that practically smothered him.
"Morning Star", Robin said trying to resist the erg that had taken over him ever since he had entered the room.
"I trust you had a glorious and peaceful sleep?"
"Yes thanks Star", Robin said as he gasped for air, Starfire was still hugging him.
"Ummm Star?" Cyborg interrupted, trying to gently probe Starfire from Robin unsuccessfully, "I think you suffocating Robin".
"Oh", Starfire gasped immediately dropping Robin to the floor were he lay gasping for breath, "Why did you not say something friend Robin?"
"I-I ah, um, didn't want to hurt your feelings?" Robin said blushing, the truth was he hadn't wanted to let go, he had wanted to just stand there holding her.
"Oh Robin", Starfire said concern in her eyes, "that is extremely thoughtful of you".
Cyborg coughed and Robin turned frowning heavily at him.
"It was nothing Star", Robin said getting to his feet. Suddenly his leg buckled beneath him and he resisted the need to cry out instead he grimaced, painfully. 'I must have been in the air while Star was hugging me', he realized.
"Robin", Starfire cried rushing once again towards him.
"It's okay Star", Robin said, "I just probably landed on it wrong when you dropped me". His ankle ached.
"You alright man?"
"I'm fine Cyborg, just fine thanks"
"But Robin", Starfire said, "I must examine you to determine whether you are injured else where". She flew towards Robin and grabbed his wrist slowly turning it over in her hands.
Robin gapped, "Star…what are you doing?" She had moved on from his wrist and was now running her hand over his shoulder feeling the muscle that was under his skin.
"I am examining you for any problems", she said face glowering in innocence.
'Why don't you stop her?' A voice irrupted in Robin's mind, 'You know this isn't right, you can't let her go on believing this is what best friends do! …maybe just let her for a little while'.
Starfire sighed; she had moved on to Robin's back and was enjoying the sensation of running her hand down her leaders back. She knew this wasn't what best friends usually did, but he hadn't stopped her so she had assumed that it was o.k to do this on Earth. Having determined there was nothing wrong with Robin's back Starfire came to the front where Robin was blissfully unaware of what Starfire was about to examine next (I wonder what next, he he he!).
Robin sighed and began to open his eyes thinking Starfire had finished her little "Examination" only to get the fright of his life.
"STAR", he screamed jumping backwards at least five meters. Starfire was on the ground kneeling, where five meters before he would have been standing.
"What is wrong friend Robin?" Starfire said standing then taking a step towards Robin.
"S-Starfire", Robin stuttered eyes wide, "wh-what were you exactly about to examine?"
"Oh", said Starfire blushing, "well as you didn't stop me when I first began to check for injuries so I thought it must have been normal to examine ones best friend in such manner, even though we do not do this on Tameria (spelling?).
"Star", said Robin forcing himself to be calm, "what were you about to examine next?"
She averted her eyes and whispered so he could barely hear, "Your glipfarnog".
Robin was speechless. It all went silent.
"I am sorry", Starfire burst out in tears, "I am sorry Robin I am a terrible, terrible friend!"
"No Star", said Robin still in shock, "I am. I should have told you that best friends don't do that on Earth", he turned away from her self disgust showing clearly in his eyes, "but I didn't and I hurt you, I am a sick perverted idiot".
"No Robin!" Starfire cried, but Robin had already left making his way down to the training room where he could, yet again, spend hours drowning out his sorrow.
Cyborg had left ages ago, after Starfire had began her so called "Examination", it had made him sick, seriously. He sighed, 'I guess that operation get Beastboy with Raven will have to wait until tomorrow.' He glanced at his watch: 6:27, it had almost been an hour and a half since Robin and Starfire had started their little "thing". 'Maybe it'll be safe now?' He shrugged, safe or not he was hungry. He made his way slowly down the hall so if Robin or Starfire wanted they would have the time to get safely back to their rooms.
"I am coming now". He announced loudly so they would have a warning. He reached for the door handle and scrunched up his eyes so he could quickly close them if he needed to. Slowly he opened the door and saw this… Raven was sitting on the couch desperately trying to comfort Starfire who's eyes were wide and that was sobbing hysterically, Beastboy sat at the counter and was yelling angrily over the already loud sound of Starfire's sobs just making the living room seem even more like it was a battle camp.
"It's my entire fault!"
"It's not Starfire; it wasn't you it was him …again"
"YEAH STAR IT WASN"T ANY OF YOUR FAULT IT WAS THAT IDIOT ROBIN'S, HOW COULD ANY ONE DO THAT TO A GIRL!!"
"Ummm, guys?" No one noticed him. Cyborg decided to try again.
"Guys?", still nothing.
"GUYS!!" Nope, that was it desperate times called for desperate measures. He armed himself with his sonic canyon and aimed it at a nearby window.
"BOOOOOOOOOM". Beastboy screeched, Raven jumped and Starfire let out a little "Eeep".
"Finally", Cyborg said sighing as he looked around the room Beastboy had also jumped and had landed in Raven's lap. He was blushing and quickly stumbled off Raven's lap looking uncomfortable.
"Hey Cy", Beastboy said coming to stand with him. Cyborg nodded and continued to gaze around the room, his gaze focused on Starfire who was still sobbing, though not so loudly now.
"What happened?" He asked in awe
"Well…" Beastboy began but he was cut off by Raven whose eyes were glowing a steady red.
"That little shit Robin fooled Starfire into thinking it was okay to check his body for injuries", she grit her teeth and clamped her eyes shut as if she was struggling with herself to retain from smashing Robin's face in (which she was), "and the little pervert encouraged her into thinking it was some kind of Earth best friend custom to feel each other up."
Cyborg gasped, he never knew that's what had been about to happen.
He swore under his breath, "Fuck".
"You do not understand", Starfire whispered. Everyone turned towards her, "It is the fault of mine, not Robin's that got us into this situation. This would not have happened if I had not offered to examine him." Tears were flowing freely down her face.
"No" said Raven, almost all the red had now disappeared from her eyes although they were still slightly tainted pink, "no Starfire it isn't your fault you did not realize that it wasn't something you did with a best friend, you thought that it was a normal thing to do, but Robin is from this planet and he knew that it was something wrong that you just don't do and he didn't tell you that, he didn't even push you away or try to tell you. No", her voice had become a deadly whisper, "No, he just let you keep going, thinking it was right and normal. And so the fault is his".
Starfire burst out crying again and clung to Raven who looked like a huge tube had sucked all the energy out of her. Slowly she turned to Beastboy and Cyborg, "Maybe you two should leave, this is kind of a girl's thing." Beastboy and Cyborg both nodded and turned to leave. Cyborg's face solemn and filled with cold rage and Beastboy's a mask of horror and anger. Fists clenched both the boys headed in the direction of the training room. Robin was gonna get it!
Okay…well that wasn't as cheery as I had originally hoped for…but hey, at least it's good. Sorry the "Operation get Beastboy with Raven" thing will have to wait 'till I've sorted out this dilemma. Keep reading and reviewing. Oh I just realized this chapter was way longer then the others! Yay! Oh and pairs are as stands- Beastboy/Raven and Robin/Star (Yes, their relationship will get better). And in this fic Raven's nice to Star 'cause what happens to Star makes them into really good friends. K, later.
