Chapter Three

Robin's Star

"Star, I love you too." Robin smiled. "I've been trying to tell you these past few days, but things kind a got in the way." Star looked up at Robin's face. His blue eyes were hidden behind the mask. She placed her hand to his cheek and caressed his skin. She felt his lip, his nose. his chin before finally grasping the mask and removing it. Robin blinked once or twice , before gazing at her with his pretty blues. They didn't speak, emotionally they drifted closer, closer until Robin could feel her lips barely brush up against his. He seizes the moment and kissed her. Star made a sharp in-take before realizing this kisses potential. It bonded them together. His touch was so light. Finally she felt her lips released and open her eyes to see Robin staring at her with a lop-sided grin o his face.

"Is that what you call a first kiss?" Starfire finally spoke up. Robin's smile deepens as his heart fell even more for her. He came closer again, but Star had the upper hand. She locked her arms around his neck and pulled him in for another kiss. Robin felt has if his entire body had gone into overdrive, the sensation against her lips was living in a dream.

The two were so busy, that they didn't realize Beast Boy, standing at the doorway jaw-dropped. He always knew that there was something going on between the two. Still... seeing Robin and Star kiss was sort of weird for the little green dude.

"Uh...Robin..Star.." Beast Boy finally spoke up. The couple split quickly, staring at Beast boy. "Um...hey. Are.. you..two-"

"Hey BB are they up here?" Star could hear Cyborg coming near. He peaked out of the door frame, behind Beast Boy. "What's going on? Robin? Star? BB?"

"Robin and Star." Were the only words Beast Boy could say. He still had to get over the sight of the two kissing.

"What were Robin and Star doing?" Cyborg asked. he looked at the couple, their faces were red. "BB! What the hell is going on."

"Robin kissing Star." Beast Boy blurted out.

"They kissed?", he nodded, "No kidding." Cyborg smiled at his two friends. "Robin, you told me there wasn't anything going on between you two."

"I guess there is." Robin smiled, while placing his arm around Star.

"Are you guys an item?" Beast Boy finally spoke up.

"Are we an 'item', Robin?" Starfire looked at him. The Boy Wonder stares into her pretty green eyes. Nothing else would make him happier than to call her his girl, but he knew the risk would be too great.

"Maybe not just yet. We should go inside and discuss it."

"What for?" Robin didn't ask, instead lead her into the living room. Cyborg and Beast Boy followed as well. The gathering of the friends in the living room becomes intriguing to Raven. She soon showed up to see what was up.

"So what are we going to do about you guys?" Cyborg asked ,shutting the curtains, just in case someone saw them. Robin looked at Starfire and smiled, he couldn't believe that all this time the girl of his dreams.

"I realize that having a relationship with Star could be dangerous.", he stated, "From now on Star and I can only show affection in the tower only. If one of our enemies found out, it would be used against us. It could even tear the Teen Titans apart." Everyone nodded in approval, including Starfire who agreed, but didn't really understand. Why was hiding her love from Robin so bad? He saw the confusion in her eyes, he smiled and placed her hands to his lips. "Are you all right?" Star nodded getting up and flew to her room. She guessed it was just another 'Earth' thing . "Starfire?", she heard him knocking at the door. "Are you all right?", she did not want to answer, with a sigh Starfire flew out the window. Robin listen for a replay, how long he waited. He never heard from her. Knowing that she was confused he figured that tomorrow would be a new day. The Boy Wonder walk slowly back to his room, every step he took felt he was walking away from everything. Moments later he slumped to his bed and pulled the covers up over his head. To tired and to worried to even notice that he was still wearing his uniform, Robin drifted into a fitful sleep.

A New Morning Dawns-

"Robin!"

"Wha?"

"Boy Wonder!"

"Yea?"

"GET UP!"

Robin jolted from his bed, he found Cyborg and Beast Boy staring at him

"What do you two want?", he scratched his head.

"It's almost noon.", Cyborg announced, "Figured you might want to get your sorry ass up."

"Yeah, I'll do that."

"Hurry up." Beast Boy crossed his arms. "We all planned to go to the mall today. Raven has even said that she'll join us." Robin got to his feet and stretched.

"Give me a couple of minutes to change." his comrades smiled and slowly retreated out of the room. Robin stood alone in the dark room. Dark was always comforting to him. His mentor, the 'Dark Knight', taught him that. Still, looking back, Robin could only think of Star as the only light in his life. No matter how stupid he sounded or if he got mad. She would stand by his side. He always thought that was why he liked her, but it was her compassion to be his friend that set his heart out for her. He enter the living room a half hour later, clean, refreshed and above all in love.

"Well you look sharp." Beast Boy said as he tied up his shoes. Robin thought it was awkward to see him in casual clothing, but so was he. Robin entered wearing cargo jeans and a gray hoodie.

"Are we ready?"

"No!" Beast Boy snapped. "Starfire has her room locked up and she isn't answering. Raven is flying up to her window to coax her out." Robin's thought stopped for a moment. He remember trying to talk to Star last night with any luck. The feeling of dread fell into his gut. The feeling that she's not there. He slowly got up and walked up the stair to the door the lead to the roof. The knob between his fingers was cold as he turn and push the door open.

"Starfire?", he called out. Sure enough, Star was asleep on the roof. He quietly walked over trying not to wake her, "Starfire?", he laid his hand on her shoulder and shook her. Star's beautiful green eyes open, she gave Robin a heart-full smile, "Good Morning, Sunshine."

"Good Morning to you as well, friend Robin."

"What are you doing up here?"

"Thinking?"

"About us?", Star nodded and got up, Robin sat beside her, "I thought you were a little confused last night."

"Why are we force to hide our feelings. I thought ..."

"Star its not that we're hiding, but protecting ourselves. If our enemies knew, they could hurt one of us.""Do you mean blackmail?"

"Sort of. Star they would know my weakness...you.", she smile at him, " I would never let anything ever happen to you. You are my strength and my weakness.", Star understood most of it, he reached for her hand and held it, "Now come on! Everyone wants to go to the mall."

"A mall?", she gave the usual confused look to him again. Robin rolled his eyes and got up.

"I'll explain on the way there."

Once again, Starfire held tightly to Robin's chest as the road his R-Cycle into Jump city. Behind them was the rest of the team riding in Cyborg's car. The sunlight broke through the clouds, Star could feel it on her back. She was almost dazed from everything the scent of Robin's shirt sent her over the edge. The moment was perfect, well almost perfect. Jinx jumped from building to building trying to keep up with the team. She knew that something seemed different. Why was Robin and Starfire not in uniform? To her, seeing a Titan out of uniform, let alone two, was a very rare sight. Her work was cut out for her, as she followed. Somehow this day would be the starting...of the end.

-Hours later-

"Robin?"

"Yeah, Star?", he looked at her as the two sat on a bench near the food court.

"Can I ask something of you?" Jinx was hidden on top of a ledge near the ceiling, listening to every word. She noticed the small gestures that each made for the other. Almost like if they were in love. The feeling was strange and to her jealousy . Jinx kept it hidden that she had a crush on Robin. She wished that it was her down there instead of Starfire.

"Robin, please kiss me.", Jinx's heart went into overdrive. The thought of that alien kissing him, tainting him.

"Star, we can't."

"Just a little one?"

"Star!"

"Do you not love me?"

"Star you know I love you." A light went off in Jinx head as a shyly grin appeared across her face. She believe that she had everything she needed and retreated to the hive.

"Then, dear Robin kiss me.", Robin looked around, noticing that no one was looking planted a small kiss on her lips, "Now see that wasn't so bad."

"Whatever." Robin rolled his eyes as he placed his arm around her. A smile grew up to his face, Robin loves his Star.
