A Bird's Reality
Author's note:Now star/rob lovers don't get mad at this chapter and don't think to high of it either. Yeah sure starfire gets a little sick and jealous, but hey that's the way life is right?
Chapter 6: Close friends?
As they got to the restaurant there was an uncomfortable silence among the four friends. "Well Raven! Haven't I picked the right person for your date?" asked Starfire with a big grin on her face. "Um…sure Star, whatever you say." Raven didn't really want to go on the date in the first place so what was she supposed to say. She thought to herself "Man, why did I agree to this in the first place. Sure Speedy's some what cute, but he's just a friend and I would like to keep him as only a friend." "Raven are you coming?" yelled Speedy from the entrance of the restaurant. She shook her head of her thoughts and followed him into the place quietly.
They sat down at their table and ordered their drinks before ordering their food. Of course Starfire sat by Robin and right next to Robin was Raven and right next to Raven was Speedy. "I could have guessed that you were my date." Speedy whispered while looking at Raven. "Oh? Why is that?" "Well Star said one of her friends. So I figured it couldn't be Beastboy or Cyborg since none of us are gay." Raven smiled at his little joke and shook her head agreeing he was right. When the waiter finally came back they decided to order. Robin had the lobster meal, Raven and Speedy had the steak meal, and Starfire had a type of green meal that neither one of them knew what it was.
"Sooo…what are your intentions with our little Raven?" Robin asked jokingly, "Whatever she wants she get oh mister Raven's father!" Speedy said as they both started to laugh leaving Raven with no sign of amusement. "Jerks. Don't even know what's going through my mind, I'm already ready to go." "Raven please won't you join me in the powdering of our noses?" "Sure Star, just as long as I'm away from them." "What was that?" "Not a thing Star, not a thing."
In the bathroom. "Isn't Speedy just cute and good for you!" said the overly excited alien, "Star, I'm not really…" "Oh! You two look so cute together!" "Star listen to what I'm trying to say to you. I don't feel like I…" "Raven! I see the food being brought to our table. We should go now!" Starfire said as she was looking out through the bathroom door. "Whatever." said the dark girl.
While the two girls was in the bathroom Robin and Speedy talked. "You having a good time Speedy?" "To tell you the truth, I'm surprised I am." "To tell you the truth, I was surprised you was the one Starfire picked to be Raven's date." Robin said while taking a sip of his coke. "I never thought of Raven other than a friend." Speedy now said while taking a gulp of his sprite. "She looks great tonight though, don't you think Robin?" "Oh yeah. I never seen her this beautiful before." The girls come out of the bathroom and take their seats while the food is handed out to them.
"Hmm! This is most delicious!" "I know what you mean Star, the food here is great!" said the masked warrior known as Speedy. The dance music went off slowly followed by a beautiful slow love song. "Let's dance Star." As Robin and Starfire headed to the dance floor Speedy and Raven stayed at the table. "So Raven…you wanna dan…beep beep beep" The sound of his communicator went off and Bumblebee popped up on his screen. "Speedy, we need you back at the tower quick! Aqualad's been taken and there are no traces of him anywhere!" He was disappointed at the fact that this had to happen because he wanted to stay, but he knew his duties, "Sorry Rae…I gotta go, but maybe you can save me a…dance." Raven watched as the titan left with a sigh of disappointment on his face. All of a sudden she heard Starfire gag, so she turned around to see what was wrong.
"I don't know what happened. All I know is that we were dancing and then she started to turn green." Robin said as he took a seat next to Raven. "Probably it was the food she ate." "Yeah maybe. Hey, where's Speedy?" "Oh you know, when duty calls you have to go runnin'." Robin looked at Raven and saw she wasn't so much upset of the fact that Speedy left her hangin' like this. They were now sitting in silence waiting for Starfire to come out the bathroom. So to break the silence he asked her, "You ever danced before?" She knew what he was thinking, "Ohhh no boy wonder, you are not dragging me onto that floor, and no, I haven't danced before." All of a sudden she felt him take her hand and drag her onto the dance floor anyway.
"Now follow me." "Robin no, I feel stupid." He didn't listen to what she was saying so he put his hand around her waist and of course took her left, not right, hand. "Now what you want to do Raven is place your right hand on my right shoulder and let me hold your left." She was doing everything he told her to do realizing he was laughing at her. "You're getting a kick out of this aren't you." she told him bitterly, "Sorry. It's just the fact of seeing you not knowing what you're doing" Robin took the lead of how they moved, it was so graceful to the dark goddess and to her surprise she was actually enjoying it. "Raven? I thought you said you didn't know how to dance?" "I don't." "Then why does thee move with such grace?" he asked in an amusing way. Trying not to laugh she told him in the same way, "I guess thy is just a great teacher." As the end of the song came near, Robin decided to end it with a little charm and style. "Watch this." he told her. He spun her around slowly holding her tightly to make sure she didn't slip away from him. In the end he took her into a dip and held her gently in that position for awhile. At this time he brought her back up slowly and looked deep into her eyes, "You really think so?" "Really." They looked at each other now, not playfully, but serious as he held her in his arms. Robin didn't notice before how beautiful she was including her eyes and how alive and real they looked. Raven couldn't stop looking into his face until she looked over his shoulder to see Starfire staring at them from the table; she jerked away from Robin who looked back at Starfire also.
As they walked back to the table Starfire told them, "Friends. Oh close friends of mine. I'm ready to go home now, I do not feel well." "Okay Star, what ever you say, I'll get the T car." Robin said as he left the restaurant leaving the two girls behind. "So…did Speedy leave?" "Yes he did as a matter of fact." "Did you and Robin have a nice dance?" Raven flushed at the fact of her friend had probably thought she did something wrong, "Oh…it was…okay you know. I don't do the whole dancing thing much." "I see." "Guys…I mean girls, the car's ready!"
As they entered the tower there was only silence yet again. "Well…I guess I'll see you guys tomorrow then." Raven said as she walked to the hall that led to her room. Robin watched as she walked away and then back at Starfire, "So Star, how did you like tonight? I don't think your blind date thing worked out for Speedy and Raven." "Well I tried Robin. Too bad I didn't get to finish our dance." she said with sarcasm. "Wait a minute. What was that all about?" "Tell me Robin, did you enjoy your time with friend Raven on the dance floor?" "That's what you're upset about? A little dance between friends?" "Close friends." "You know I love you and no one else, so why are you acting like this?" "Really? Well I want you to prove it." "By doing what?"
Starfire was now very close to Robin and taking his hand. All of a sudden she pulled his face to hers and started to kiss him so he played along and did the same thing. This went on for 2 minutes until they finally stopped a little while to catch their breaths while Starfire pulled him into the middle of the living room. As they came to the center of the living room they started kissing all over again; he closed his eyes now feeling his shirt come off as his suit jacket hit the floor. As he held her he felt the straps of her dress fall realizing her dress fell to her waist. He could now feel Star's bare back while he rubbed his hands against it. Star leaned him on the couch and they didn't stop kissing and touching. Now they fell on the couch while she was on top of him moving her hands down from his head to his chest. His heart was beating faster and he could feel the heat between them until something unexpected happened. As he ran his hands threw her hair he decided to finally open his eyes and when he did he saw that he was looking into the eyes of the one that was on him and it wasn't Starfire. It was the beautiful eyes he seen on the dance floor tonight. "Robin? Robin what's wrong?" He shook his head a couple of times to reveal Starfire looking straight at him. "Star, it's you." "Of course it's me Robin. Whoever else would it be?" He was confused at what just happened. "Star…I can't…" "You can't what?" As he sat up the alien princess tried to bring him back down with her. "I can't…do this right now." "Why!" "I don't know." is the last thing he said as he walked to his room. "What is whatever wrong with him? Was it something that I have done? Or…no, no. I shouldn't think about things like that about my best friend. But we were so close this time." Starfire thought to herself as she too went to her room with disappointment.
Author's note: Well yes that was a close one between the bird and the star but will that be enough. I loved doing the dance scene which was close to rob/star dance scene but more detailed with the movement. Next chapter coming!
