Starfire was staring so intently at the book that she forgot that Robin was sitting next to her. Robin leaned over her shoulder and looked at the book,
wondering why Starfire was so interested in it.
"Everything to know about everything" Robin murmured, next to her ear. Starfire squealed and jumped back causing the cupboard to tilt sideways. They both fell and Robin ended up on top of Starfire. They both blushed and for once Starfire thanked the darkness. Robin got off of Starfire but they were still in an uncomfortable position. At least uncomfortable to their sanity. Since the cupboard was tilted sideways, the cupboard was in a rectangular position which meant that they had to lie down with their back against one side of the cupboard. The cupboard was quite small so they were sort of squashed but they weren't worried about that.
"Robin look at what I found" She whipped around only to find herself face to face with a blushing boy wonder. Literally face to face. They were so close that their noses were almost touching. Robin's blush got deeper and Starfire leant back a little and cleared her throat.
"So what did you find" Robin's voice came out unsteady. He heard it and mentally cursed himself for it. His mentor told him a thousand times not to fall for a team mate but lately, he just couldn't help it. She was cute, innocent and although she had learnt perfect English, there were still some little details that she wasn't quite sure with and he cherished those moments she came and asked him. Who couldn't like her?
"Um Robin?" Her voice jerked him out of his thoughts. It was really close to his ear; he turned his head around and found Starfire leaning on his shoulder. She looked up at him and her eyes had a mixture of anger and confusion.
For a moment he was lost in his eyes, but he gave himself a mental reality check. They were stuck in a cupboard, now was not the time.
"I thought you said they couldn't hear us?" She said her voice soft, almost a whisper.
"They can't" Robin answered, confusion thick in his voice.
"I can hear them breathing on the other side, it seems as though they have declared a temporary truce with each other" She smiled up at him and his heart skipped a beat. Her eyes held some sort of emotion in it but he couldn't identify it.
"What time is it?" She asked, an innocent question, but she didn't know how much trouble it would cause them.
"It nearly ten o' clock, I didn't know it was so late" Robin apologised. Starfire yawned softly and her voice was coated with sleep.
"Tell me a story"
"What?" Robin asked, although he perfectly heard what she said. She looked up at him, her eyes pleading
"Please" She asked softly. It wasn't like Beast boy's usual pleadings; it had a soft almost hypnotic effect on him. He looked at her eyes and suddenly couldn't say no.
"Sure why not"
When he was finished, none of them could go to sleep. He had mistakenly narrated a horror story and now he had scared himself and Starfire who was cling on to his arm for dear life. And to his dismay the story was coincidently about a girl and a boy who got trapped in a cupboard. Starfire pouted at him and his attention went to his lips which made his mouth go dry
"You didn't need to tell me a horror story" She hissed, her eyes searching for any sings of the monsters Robin talked about.
"Starfire" He said, grabbing her shoulders. She turned around to face him, her eyes full of fright. Robin's hand softened and he suddenly couldn't stop himself from touching her. His hand went up to her forehead and traced one of her bangs.
"There is no monster here" He said softly "And even if there is I'm not going to let them hurt you" He leaned in and brushed his lips against hers. He leant back to study her expression, all the colour that had drained from her face was now back, but there still was a tremor in her voice when she asked
"Are you sure" She said, a mischievous glint in her eyes.
"Yes I'm sure" He said and pulled her in for a deeper kiss. His hands went up to her waist and pulled her closer to her while her hands travelled through his hair. The kiss held a passion far greater than a crush and a longing that had been kept for over a year. Starfire immediately granted Robin's tongue entrance and his tongue explored every inch of her mouth as if he would never do it again. Robin groaned and pulled her even closer, if that was possible but his communicator rang. He didn't want to stop but Starfire pulled away from him and looked at him sceptically and Robin grinned sheepishly and turned on the communicator. A girl was on the communicator with long black hair and blue eyes.
"Amy" He blurted out. Starfire scooted closer to him and Robin's hand trailed down to her waist. Starfire looked at him with confusion, but both their eyes widened when they realised who was next to her. His hands on her waist.
"Ryan!" Starfire practically shouted. Amy's eyes narrowed
"How do you know him" She accused. Ryan whispered something to her and she visibly softened.
"Oh sorry, I sometimes get a little overprotective over my husband" She said
"Husband!" They both shouted.
"Did you by any chance come to visit us over the year?" Robin asked
"We tried but these two teenagers stopped us right outside titans tower and the next thing we know were back where we started" This time Ryan answered him. Starfire moved away from Robin and listened to the door, two people…or things were sleeping outside this door. But Ryan and Amy were in…well they weren't outside this door that's for certain; she remembered the titan's main room enough to know that it didn't have trees or water in it. When she went back to Robin his hands held her softly but firmly so that she couldn't get out if she wanted to. She turned around and faced him
"If those two people outside aren't Ryan and Amy then who or what are they?"
