Chapter 10 (Boy Views.)
A/N: Ok here is what I am doing… No I'm not going to give away the end. But I'm trying to get 100 review, without swearing in a story. No offense if you swear in yours, truthfully the ones that swear are really good too. But I'm wondering if people get reviews JUST because they swear. So that is what I'm doing, and I greatly appreciate any reviews, good or bad. After all it's your opinion. But I like the good ones better. ;)
Robin lay on top of his covers tossing and turning savagely. He just didn't know what was wrong, on top of the covers he was too cold, under the covers he was to hot. There was absolutely no way to make it work. "Put one leg under the covers and one over", Robin told himself. Duh. A half and half, he hadn't thought of that… It always seemed like it had to be one way or the other to Robin. And not just about random things either, you couldn't be a good bad-guy, and you couldn't be a bad good-guy. It just didn't work, either you were good, or you were bad. It also worked with yes or no things. Either Star loved him or Star didn't. Yes or no, did or didn't. Same thing. Also either he could ask her or he couldn't.
If he couldn't ask the question, then in his mind he didn't deserve to know the answer. But he really wanted to know the answer, but he went stupid around Star, not just because she was pretty, but because he liked her, he really liked her. "Someone should write a handbook on how to be a good boyfriend", he decided. Something about the word boyfriend stuck with him. He wasn't Star's boyfriend. What if Star had a boyfriend? Oh course Star had a boyfriend! She is too pretty to not have one! His name is probably Bob, and Robin bet he has bad teeth. And bad hair. And that he doesn't treat Star like he should. All of a sudden Robin found himself very angry at Bob. And Bob didn't even exist. It was kind of sad actually.
"She doesn't have a boyfriend, she likes me, though I'm beginning to wonder why", he tried to calm himself down, "If I could only work up some courage…" Oh, right…. Courage. Yes. Courage might help… Having a clue might help too… Love was kind of blinding. Even if is was only puppy love. No one ever said that puppy love stayed puppy love forever.
Meanwhile Beastboy sat next to Cyborg on the couch, "Well what do you think about all this?" "About all what?" "Well what do you think I'm talking about?" "I don't know; you don't make any sense." "Star and Robin, duh." "Oh", Cyborg thought for a while more, "Wait, what about Star and Robin?" "Agh!" "Ok, ok. Well, it doesn't make sense Star is suffering from uncharitable pain, that for all we know is only inside her head, and…" "And, what?" "Well, man, they kind of look good together." "As a couple?" "Duh." "Then why isn't either of them doing anything. Especially Robin, he needs to make a move and he needs to make it soon." "Why soon?" 'I dunno, it just sounded better with the 'soon' in there." "Oh."
Back to Robin…
"I am going to tell her, I mean I have to tell her eventually. It'd be good to get it out of the way now, the sooner the better. Ok, good I can do this. So I'll tell her tomorrow, probably. No probably, defiantly. For sure, I'll tell her tomorrow…" Robin fell asleep mumbling about how he'd tell her his feelings, for sure tomorrow.
Robin woke up hours later. He sat up in his bed. Rubbing his eyes, he tried to remember, "I was going to do something today….Hmm…" But he couldn't for the life of him remember. Funny how you don't remember things when they happen so late at night. There's the lesson of the chapter: go to bed early so you can remember what you want to do tomorrow. ;)
