Starfire's POV

It was very troubling to me when Robins said that I was not his girlfriend. True, maybe I do not fully understand what being a girlfriend means, for I do not believe that I have experienced that thoroughly. But still, I did believe that Robin and I had something…different, that the others did not have with him. When Robin told me that he was not very good at telling how he feels, I empathized with him. On my planet, our feelings are very much important, and are often shared with one another. Robin, I feel, though I know him very well, I do not know him at all.

Robin is unlike any of the other titans. He is able to cope with more things than believed possible. Robin, however, is very withdrawn when it comes to his emotions, for he fears that they will hurt his friends. None of us is anything like Robin, and no one ever will be. I often worry about Robin. I know that he is stressed, often too stressed for his own good. When Robin believed that he had seen Slade, when he really had not, his health started to decline. The stress was much too hard for him to handle, and he was about to---.

I try very hard not to remember that day. That was the day that I realized that, as tough as Robin seems on the outside, he is very soft and fragile on the inside. That is the part of Robin that needs us, his friends and

confidants.

Ok, please review, good ones or flames!
