Chapter 7: Confusion
In his room "What the hell what the hell what the hell what the hell what the hell what the hell what the hell what the hell what the hell what the hell…"
5 minutes later
"What the hell what the hell what the HELL just happened last night! I finally get the chance with Starfire and I blow it by walking out on her because of something dumb!" Robin yelled at himself. "I mean, it started off all good, but why did something have to go wrong like it wasn't meant to be." All of a sudden he heard someone walk pass his door. "I wonder who that could be." He opens his door and peeks out. "Raven? Where's she going? Oh well I can't be worried about it at this time anyway." It was 8:00 in the morning so he figured she was making her herbal tea. "Starfire, yes, back to Starfire. I'm still confused about what happened. I can't tell her or she'll kill me, literally." He heard big metal footsteps now and they stopped right outside his door. "Yo Robin? I'm 'bout to make breakfast before Beastboy gets up. Sooo it'll be ready in 30 minutes alright?" Cyborg said. "Yeah I'll be there." He now heard Cyborg walk away.
It was 8:45 now and Robin was just now coming out of his room. As he entered the kitchen Cyborg and Raven was waiting for him. "Man Robin I told you 30 minutes and you arrive 15 minutes late, what's wrong?" "I just got a lot of stuff on my mind right now okay." Whatever you say man, just don't work yourself too hard." Cyborg said as he handed Robin his plate of waffles and syrup with a matching plate of bacon, eggs, and grits. "So how was the date last night?" Cyborg asked teasingly, "Fine." Robin and Raven said at the same time looking at each other. Then Raven spoke up to say, "Well Speedy had to run on a …" ring ring was the doorbell. "Now who could that be at this time in the morning?" Robin said as he answered the door. "Hey Robin, is Raven around?" It was Speedy. "Yeah she's in the kitchen. Care to stay for breakfast?" "Naw can't stay long."
Raven and Cyborg turned to see who their early visitor was. "Speedy! Sweet! What's up!" Cyborg said with a big grin on his face, "Nothing much, just came to see Rae." "And why must you see me?" Raven said looking at the boy who stood beside Robin. Blushing he said, "Well I wanted to apologize for running out on you last night so I bought you these.", now he pulled a dozen of red and white roses from behind his back. All three friends' eyes widen at the sight of the beautiful flowers. "Um…thanks Speedy." Raven said surprised at the fact he bought those for her, "Um…no problem Rae." Speedy said blushing. Robin felt a knot in his stomach and he didn't know why. Everyone was quiet now until Raven suddenly gave Speedy a hug and thanked him again. Robin couldn't believe his eyes and stood there with his mouth open. "I guess I'll see you guys later then." Speedy said as he walked out the door.
"Wow Raven. I think Speedy has a thing for you." Cyborg said still surprised at what happened, "No, he was just being nice." She replied back. "Yeah Cyborg he was just being nice since he left her hangin' last night!" Robin said as Raven left to put the flowers in a vase, "What's wrong with you, it was just a guess." "Well don't guess about the false until you know exactly what's going on." "Is everything okay?" Raven said as she came back from putting the flowers in a vase full of water. "No! Everything's not okay! The fearless leader…" Robin puts his hand over Cyborg's mouth. "Nothin's wrong we were just talking." "Okay…I'll be on the roof if anyone needs me." she said as she left.
"Robin! What's wrong with you! Something is wrong with you no matter what you say!" "Shhh…you're going to wake up Star and BB." "So! I couldn't if I wanted to because they left right before you decided to come to breakfast!" "Really? Where did they go?" "Not before you tell me what's up with you!" "Sorry Cyborg. I don't know what came over me. I guess I was a little excited." "About what!" "Would you lower your voice already!" "Fine. What's wrong?" "Okay last night after the big raven/speedy date something happened between me and Starfire." "Ohhh… (smirks)…I see where this is going, ha ha!" "No. We didn't do anything, but we were close." "What do you mean didn't and close?" "Didn't as didn't do it and close as in half naked, heart beating, making out close." "So why didn't ya'll get busy?" "You make it sound so ugh." "Your point is?" "Never mind. The reason why is because while we were about to something…happened." "Something like what?" "Well let's just say it wasn't Starfire who I saw on me." "If it wasn't Star then who was it?" "Raven" "Robin enough with the small talk and speak louder and say who it was you saw." "Fine. It was Ra… Ra…" Cyborg's eyes widen. "Not Raven." Robin just lowered his head down. "That explains why you freaked out when Speedy brought Raven those flowers and she gave him a hug." "What! What are you trying to say! That I have feelings Raven!" "Man I'm just sayin'." "I don't have feelings Raven! I love Starfire! I couldn't do that to best friends!" "Whatever Robin, whatever." Cyborg said as he left Robin alone in the kitchen. "By the way Star and BB went to get your anniversary present."
It was later on in the day and Starfire and BB were back. Starfire went to the roof to see what Raven was up to. "Yes Starfire. What can I do for you?" Raven asked her before she could turn around and see who it was. With a big nervous smile on her face she said, "Oh friend Raven I need your thoughts on something." "Ask away." "Well last night I and Robin were almost going to go to the next step in our relationship." "What…" was what all Raven could say as she suddenly fell from falling mid air in the sky as she lost mediation and a street light burst. "I said me and Robin…" "Yeah I heard you." "Oh good!" "But you mentioned an almost did you not?" "Yes, I did." "And this is why?" "We did not do the sex. Instead he freaked out and went to his room leaving me behind." "Why?" "I do not know. I've been trying to figure out the answer all day. Can you give me the advice you always give?" "Sure. You should probably just ask him what went wrong." "What if he does not tell me?" "Well you would just have to find out yourself now wouldn't you." "I guess so. Thanks anyway." Starfire said as she walked away from her friend. "Why did I lose my emotions like that, all she said was Robin and sex?" She heard another street light burst. "What's wrong with me! Why did I feel relieved when she said nothing happened between her and Robin. It's not like I have feelings for him or anything." Another street light bursts. "Ugh! What's wrong with me!" she thought to herself while still hearing street light after street light burst.
"Star…can I talk to you?" Robin asked out of no where, "Yes Robin, let us do the talking please." They walked out the tower now and went to the park. "Star about last night…sorry." "That's alright Robin maybe next time when we get a chance." All of a sudden his stomach knotted again, "Um Robin can I ask you a question?" "Sure what is it?" "What was it that made you did the freaking out on me?" "I can't believe she's asking me this! I can't tell her!" " Um…I guess I was nervous about the whole thing." "Ohhhhh…" "Forgive me." She gave him a big smile, "Of course boyfriend of mine!" she gave him a big kiss and he kissed her back. "Thanks Star." As they walked back to the tower he found out something. When he and Starfire kissed it didn't feel like he was feeling love in it like he did in the beginning, like he was giving her a kiss just to please her. He shook his head, "Negative get out my mind." He thought to himself.
It's 3:35 in the morning. "Why can't I sleep?" the dark goddess said to herself while lying in her bed. "Why am I getting so worked up on Starfire and Robin's relationship anyway? I mean Starfire's my best friend and so is Robin, so what's wrong?" "Maybe it's because you don't want Starfire and Robin to be together." she heard her emotion Anger say inside her. "What do you mean? Of course I want them to be together." "Then why am I freaking out!" "I don't know, you tell me." "I wish I could but that's not my department." "What are you talking about?" "Me!" She now heard Happiness. "What about you?" "Well whenever you talk about the boy wonder I just get so excited!" "So?" "Don't you see what's happening!" "Uh…no." "Ugh! You are so denying and blind! Even Love's been going crazy!" Raven began to look surprised. "Why is Love freaking out!" since Love never been active ever before. "Because of your heart." She now could hear what Love was saying. "What…what do you mean?" Raven was nervous now. "Ever since that night in your room your heart went crazy for our fearless leader, so I've been acting up along with Anger and Happiness." Raven couldn't believe her ears. "No…I can't feel a thing, especially anything for Robin!" "So it finally happens. First it's that little Starfire that's been pissing me the hell off!" "I couldn't be mad at Star." "Oh really?" "Anger stop confusing her." "Well she needs to know the truth doesn't she?" "Uh no!" "Will both of you shut up! Can't you see she's trying to think!" "Well if you kept your mouth shut about her heart she wouldn't have to think about anything!" "Well you're the one that started the whole conversation!" "So!" Will ya'll shut the hell up and let me think?" "Fine!" all of them said as they left her to think. When she was able to think again she came across the things all three emotions told her. "No I can't be in love with Robin. He's my friend that's it and he's Starfire's boyfriend not mine. So why am I…acting like I'm acting? Maybe I do feel…no no no! I can't he'll get hurt, no emotions, no nothing. No nothing, no nothing, no nothing." "Huh?" Would ya'll just get out of here!" "Okay, okay."
As he sat in his bed Robin thought about the same situation. "Can't believe Cyborg would think that I wanted Raven, she's my friend! But he is right about one thing, about me freaking out and acting like an ass because of the nice thing Speedy did to make up for leaving her alone. But it was not jealously at all…was it? NO! It can't be, I love Starfire and that's that!"
Later on that night.
It was one of the most beautiful sunsets on the beach they ever saw. "Robin did you have something you wanted to say to me?" he heard the girl beside him say, "As a matter of fact yea, yea I did." He could hear her laugh, the laugh he always loved. He put his hands upon her shoulders to turn her to face him, "What?" he heard her say. All he could do is laugh at how lost she looked. "Let us dance." "Right here, right now, on the beach?" "Of course, where else?" he saw her blush. They started to dance with the golden light between night and afternoon laid upon them. He looked at the girl now and saw how her beauty went well with this magical light. All of a sudden they fell onto the sand. "What happened?" he asked her while laughing, "I guess I just wanted to see your face when I made you fall." she said while laughing also. He leaned his head over hers' while they laid there and looked into each other's eyes once again. He then started to kiss her while she kissed him back passionately. "I love you Robin, I really do." She told him while they decided to catch their breaths, he kissed her again romantically and he heard her moan for more. "I love you too…Raven.
Robin suddenly wakes up. "Ahhh hell no! I'm in love Raven!
A/N: Just to let ya'll know Robin's not exactly sure yet he's just shocked and surprised. Next chapter will be good also, promise.
