Chapter 8 - Sleeping Beauty

Starfire opened her eyes.

She felt hot breath on her neck and a strong arm wrapped around her. She snuggled back against.. a muscular chest. Starfire blinked a few times, trying to get the sleepiness out of her eyes. It was still dark, but the sun would be rising soon. She looked around and realized she wasn't in her room or her bed. She was in Robin's room and Robin's bed and, she thought hopefully, Robin's arms.She swiftly shifted out of the strong arm wrapped around her and jumped out of bed. Starfire realized she was naked and quickly tried to cover herself, although the only other person in the room was sound asleep. She glanced at the clock. It was 5:27 a.m. in Earth time. She looked at Robin's sleeping form on the bed. He looked so handsome. His bare chest was exposed and the silk sheets were bunched around his abdomen. His hair was unruly and he had a soft smile on his face. Starfire quietly climbed back on the bed and gave him a tender kiss on the lips. She heard him mumble "Starfire" and his smile grew wider.

Starfire quickly hopped off the bed and gathered her underwear and torn night gown up off of the floor. She slowly opened his door and slid out into the shadows of the hallway. She stood there naked, her body pressed against the wall. The hallway seemed to grow longer and her room seemed to be farther and farther away. She took a deep breath and ran as quickly and quietly as she could to her bedroom. As soon as she shut the door, she pressed her back against it. 'Oh X'hal, I cannot believe we just did that. It was amazing... most wonderous. He made me feel things I had never dreamt possible. He is so perfect in every way. I wish we could do that repeatedly for the rest of our lives.I thought it was a dream. I am so happy it was not.' Starfire sighed dreamily and made her way to her bed. She pulled back the covers and climbed under them. She closed her eyes and fell into a peaceful slumber.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Starfire's eyes fluttered open and then quickly shut again. She yawned and let the warm rays of the sun hit her face.

"You are so positively captivating when you sleep."

Starfire's eyes shot open and she sat up. Robin was resting against the doorway that led to the balcony. He had a smile on his face and his mask back on. Starfire quickly pulled up the sheet to cover herself, realizing she was, infact, naked. 'God. What is he doing here? Why must he look so fantastic and sexy and why do I want him so bad?'

"Don't be modest. You're beautiful." Robin grinned.

Starfire blushed, "Why are you here? What if someone comes? What if Blackfire comes?" Her voice becoming serious.

"You missed breakfast and don't worry about anyone. They are all busy with the wedding." He walked towards the bed.

Starfire frowned, "The wedding.. I had hoped it was all a bad dream. How foolish I am."

Robin sat next to her on the bed, "Please don't think about that. I don't want to see you upset."

Starfire gazed at the floor, "Robin, the wedding is in three days. How can I not be upset?"

Robin leaned towards her and whispered in her ear, "Last night was incredible."

Starfire felt her body grow hot as his breath tickled at her ear and neck. She bit her bottom lip, trying with all being not to kiss him and let him touch her all over.

"Robin, last night...It should not..Blackfire...you..amazing." Starfire stumbled over her words, unable to concentrate as Robin started to softly kiss below her ear lobe.

"I love you so much. You are so unbelievably beautiful. So astoundingly sweet. Last night what we did.. No one has ever made me feel as wonderful as you did. You were absolutely mind blowing last night.You felt incredible.. simply incredible." His tongue flicked at her earlobe.

Starfire's body shivered at his touch. She closed her eyes and felt him pull the sheet away from her. His hand gently caressed her stomach and his lips slowly made their way to hers, seizing them in a passionate kiss. Robin laid her down on the bed and rested his body on top of hers, never breaking the kiss. It grew more heated, their tongues tangled with eachother. Robin moved his hand up her stomach and softly massaged her right breast, eliciting a moan from Starfire. His other hand was softly stroking her hair. Her skin was so soft and Robin felt a smile grow on his face as he realized that she stilled smelled of him. Starfire's hands were wrapped tightly around Robin's neck, her finger's gingerly playing with his hair. They were both in Heaven.

"Starfire, are you up yet?" Blackfire's voice came through the door. Robin and Starfire immediately froze.

"Starfire!" Blackfire's voice was growing impatient.

"Sister. Just a minute. I am not dressed." Starfire nervously yelped. Robin kissed Starfire again and then quickly jumped off of her, hiding in the closet. Starfire threw on a robe and opened the door.

"Hello dear sister!"

Blackfire walked in the room and sat on the bed, "Why were you sleeping so late? That is so unlike you. Anyways, I want you to come look at the floral arrangements with me."

"Floral arrangements? I.. uh.. That would be most enjoyable. I just need to get dressed."

Blackfire smiled and started walking back towards the door, "Excellent. Meet me downstairs. Hey.. Have you seen Robin?"

Starfire froze again and felt her cheeks grow flushed, "Um, no. That 'boy of wonder' is much to busy to see me. Perhaps he is with the boys?"

Blackfire shrugged and closed the door behind her. Starfire let out a sigh of relief and sat back down on the bed. Robin slowly opened the closet door and walked towards her. "You ok?"

"No Robin I am not 'ok'. I do not regret anything that happened last night, but it must not happen again. You are to marry my sister and what just happened.. if she would have seen.. oh, just leave please." Starfire felt tears in her eyes.

"Star..," He grabbed her hand and held it tightly. "Nothing is going to change the fact that I love you. Only you."

"Please Robin. I cannot be alone with you.. not anymore. I know I will not be able to control myself."

Robin grinned and leaned in to kiss her. Starfire immediately kissed back and felt everything turn into a blur. She quickly snapped out of it and pushed him away. "No Robin. No. I cannot. It hurts me too much that I cannot be with you. I will not hurt Blackfire either."

Robin nodded his understanding and quickly left the room. Starfire trudged over to her closet and picked out a gown. She did not like the fact that being on Tamaran, she was forced to wear gowns all the time. She sighed and pulled the baby blue gown over her head, knowing she had a minimal amount of time before Blackfire became suspicious of her absence.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Starfire slumped in her chair. She could not bring herself to act excited over floral arrangements. They had been choosing flowers for over three hours and Starfire was about to crack.

"I think we are finished." Blackfire said, approving her choices.

"Wonderful!" Starfire exclaimed, actually excited that the torture was over.

"Now for the food!" Blackfire cried dragging Starfire to the kitchen. Starfire groaned 'Why does she have to personally choose the menu? Can she not just say she would like everything?'

"Starfire.. I need to talk to you about Robin." Blackfire's voice was serious.

"y..yes." Starfire gulped. She began to have a nauseating feeling in the pit of her stomach.

"Well, You were his best friend.. or are still.. I don't know. Anyways, what are his favorite Earth foods? I want the wedding to be extra special."

Starfire sighed with relief. "He likes pizza. Ice cream also. You should also have some hamburgers and hot dogs for Cyborg, herbal tea for Raven, and tofu for Beastboy."

"What about you?" Blackfire asked.

"Me?"

"Yes, what would the maid of honor like?"

"I..uh.. do not think I will be very hungry." Starfire mumbled.

Blackfire stopped walking and looked at her, "Starfire are you sick? Earlier when I came to see you, you seemed flushed and distant."

"I am fine. Just overly excited about your big day." Starfire lied.

"I'm nervous." Blackfire admitted. Starfire looked at her imploringly, waiting for her to continue.

"I'm not sure if I love him."

Starfire gasped. Blackfire stared at the floor, not sure what else to say.

"You must tell him."

"I will... eventually." Blackfire answered and then continued walking.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dinner was the usual. Raven and Beastboy played kissy face, while Cyborg and Bee played footsies. Aqualad was thinking to himself, barely saying a word and Blackfire would not stop talking about the wedding. Robin was making conversation with Cyborg, and glancing at Starfire every spare moment he had. Starfire sat in thought, trying to get her mind off of him... trying to get herself not to feel so guilty... trying to get Blackfire's words out of her head: "I'm not sure if I love him."

"Star that baby blue gown looks very nice on ya" Cyborg commented.

Starfire smiled at him warmly, "Thank you Friend Cyborg, your compliment is very much appreciated."

"Don't ya think she looks good Rob?" Cyborg asked, a smirk on his face. Starfire immediately turned her gaze downward as a faint pink adorned her cheeks.

"She looks better than good. Fantastic." Beastboy chimed in.

"Yeah.. gorgeous." Bee added. Raven smiled as she watched Robin shift uncomfortably in his seat and turn several shades of scarlet.

Robin finally looked at Starfire and they made eye contact, only for a moment. He murmured, "Beautiful."

Starfire could feel the faint blush on her cheeks deepen to the darkest shade of crimson. "Thank you." She whispered.

Dinner continued uneventfully, no embarrassing moments for anyone. Robin and Starfire would occasionally catch the other watching them, they would quickly look away and pretend as if nothing happened. Once dinner had ended, all the Titans returned to their rooms.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Starfire changed into a sleeping gown and sat on her bed. She was exhausted from the day, she could not believe the wedding was so close. She frowned at the thought. 'This wedding will be Hell. I do not know how I will make it through.' Starfire climbed into her bed. She felt comfortable among the soft pillows. She could feel her eyes drooping. She yawned and closed her eyes.

'I wonder what he is thinking about...'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Robin laid on his bed, one hand behind his head. 'She is so beautiful. I just wish things were different. I wish I could make love to her everynight. Now that would be Heaven. Blackfire... I am beginning to hate her. She didn't do anything wrong except keep me from Starfire. It's my fault. This whole fucking thing is my fault. If i wasn't such a hormonal driven teen back then... but what was my excuse when she came back? FUCK! This is such shit. I'm marrying someone I don't love. Fucking wonderful. Bruce is gonna love this when he finds out. Shit..The right thing. I'm doing the right thing. I just have to remember that.' Robin sighed to himself and closed his eyes.

'I wonder what she is thinking about..'

A/N: Wooooooooooooooooooooo. This chapter kind of bored me, but I needed to fill in time before the wedding... Plus the morning after hormones raging, interesting stuff if I do say so myself. Hope you enjoy it. I wanna thank everyone for the reviews, you guys have been so respectful and positive. Thank you. Someone mentioned that I made Robin out to be a dick.. well, I can't deny that, but come on... Robin is a hot blooded teenage boy/man so come on... he has needs too. For the record, he is not using Blackfire as a sex toy.. he thought he actually liked her. Great sex does not always equal great relationship. Please continue reading and reviews are appreciated, although not required.

Enjoy!
