I'm sorry I'm taking so long to update. I'm not home as often as I usually am during the summertime. Ideas are greatly appreciated, through email or review! Thanks!

BuddyGonz: Thanks : )

Kikyoreborn9295: Am I really that evil? I always liked the idea of Robin freaking out.

Thugette90: Thanks; I'm trying to update, but I keep going braindead and losing ideas.

MagzDD: Meh, Robin will come to his senses. But he's allowed to be jealous, no?

Strodgfrgf: I hope I got that right, anyway – Evil seems to be a popular word to describe my writing. I wonder why. : )

Arainia: Heehee! I feel special now. This is probably not the best fic, I've read a lot better ones… I have a C2 with BB/Star fics, 'Those Strange Green Stars', you should check it out.

Lord of the files: thankies

Rose: Hehee. Thankies. I'm glad it's not moving too fast.


Hideaway

With blood still dripping from his broken nose, Beast Boy ran to the kitchen to let it drip into the sink. When it seemed that Robin had calmed down, Starfire set him back down on the ground. "Starfire," he whispered, still audibly angry, "What were you thinking…?" She looked at him intensely. "No, Robin, what were you thinking! Why would you attack Garfield like that? What has he ever done to you?"

She was yelling at this point, her eyes beginning to tear up, as Raven floated into the room. "What's up, I heard yelling…" she stopped mid-sentence as Starfire noticed her enter, and began to cry. Raven saw Beast Boy bent over the sink, holding his nose and mouth, blood dripping down the drain. Robin looked quite upset. "What happened?" her monotonous voice questioned. Robin was the first to tell, yelling, "I walked in on those two MAKING OUT BEHIND MY BACK! She's-" he pointed to Starfire, "-my girlfriend! Not his! What were you thinking, Starfire?" he yelled to her.

Starfire's cheeks were wet with tears, "I was not thinking of you, if you must know! And for your information, I do not belong to you, Robin!" she yelled back, running out of the room and down the hall, leaving an injured love, angry friend and confused female. Raven immediately healed Beast Boy's broken nose and managed to stop his bleeding from the mouth. Robin was about to go at him again but Raven held his wrists with her powers.

Realizing that Beast Boy would give a more sensible explanation than Robin, she asked him what happened. "Well… Kori- Starfire… and I were watching TV and she was going to make lunch, and well… It's not really any of your business, but I was kissing her and HE barged in and started punching me!" Raven had a puzzled look on her face. "Why… were you and Starfire kissing?" she asked, vaguely interested. "B-because…" he flinched before answering, afraid Robin would be at him, "We're together… sort of…" he muttered. Raven nodded and held Robin tighter, as he was attempting to pounce on BB.

"You are not! You're going behind my back! She's MY girlfriend!" he yelled at the green boy. "Dude! Did she ever actually TELL you that you two were going out! Has she even kissed you? When is she ever around you! You're her friend, Robin, and nothing more! You don't know anything about her." Beast Boy shouted back what Starfire had told him during their time spent as friends. He walked out of the room to see her, praying Robin wouldn't be after him sometime later.

Raven looked at Robin, releasing her hold on him. "You didn't have to punch him," she said quietly. "I thought… She… I thought she was with me, Raven… I thought…" Raven began to walk away. "You still didn't have to punch him." She left Robin standing there to clean up the drops of blood that had fallen on the kitchen floor. He muttered to himself, "Well… Shit."


Raven went off to find Starfire and perhaps Beast Boy, to find out what was going on with them, and why they hadn't told anyone if they were indeed in a relationship. She found them in Starfire's room, Beast Boy trying desperately to cheer the saddened girl up.

He had a hand on her back as she lay face down on her bed, slowly calming down. Raven walked in quietly and carefully, asking, "Starfire? Beast Boy? What's going on with you two?" Starfire looked up with tear-stained cheeks, wiping them away and looking at her. Beast Boy sighed and started, "Nothing's going on. Just… yesterday we happened to…" he hesitated and looked back at Starfire, taking her hand, "Get together. Y'know…" He smiled at her and she smiled back, comforted.

Raven nodded. "Why didn't you tell anyone?" "What do you mean? It's not like we were hiding it from everyone or anything. Just… There wasn't very much time between now and yesterday… I wish it hadn't happened this way." BB put his hand over his jaw. Raven walked closer and looked towards Star, "…Why didn't you tell Robin you weren't interested in him?"

Starfire, not realizing the manner of 'interested' in this sense, looked confused. "But… Robin is quite interesting, friend Raven!" Beast Boy corrected her, "She means why didn't you tell Robin that you two weren't… going out." Star nodded. "Oh, …I did not think that we were! I consider him my closest friend, because he was my first friend on Earth… I did not think I had to clarify that we were not …going out. It never occurred to me." She looked downhearted.

Raven sighed. This would be hard to explain to Robin. She nodded and left the room for her own, leaving the two alone.


"I guess we should have told the others…" Starfire said softly. "Kori, don't say that. There wasn't enough time to consider that yet… I mean, I hardly knew for sure if we were a couple." Beast Boy admitted sheepishly, smiling at her halfheartedly. Starfire sat up next to him and kissed him. "We are, yes? Now more than ever, I should say!" she smiled at him and kissed his nose and jaw. "Well I guess I should tell Cyborg." BB said and got up, squeezed her hand, and left.

Walking down the hallway he prayed he could find a way around Robin as he thought about Koriand'r. 'I hope we're not moving too fast. I mean, I only just kissed her yesterday… But she feels so right…'

Bump. Clang. Oof.

"Ahh! Don't hit me! …Eh?" "Hey dude. What's up? And why would I hit you?" "Oh… Phew. Cyborg, I was just looking for you." BB backed up and looked at him. "Uhhm… I just wanted to let you know that Kor- er, Starfire and I are together now. Wanted you to know before you talked to Robin." He sighed.

Cyborg nodded. "That's cool. Why wouldn't you want me to talk to Robin?" Beast Boy's face turned bright red. "Well… Uh… He sort of walked in on me and Star kissing and… Well, er… Punched me." "What! Really? Then where's the broken nose?" "Raven healed it. Don't mention this to anyone, okay? Especially Robin. Thanks, man." He gulped and nodded, then walked back to see Starfire.

'Now that my best friend knows, everyone knows. There, we told them. Not in the best manner, I admit, but at least everyone knows now.' BB's stomach churned and he stopped walking as a thought struck him, but he couldn't push it away because he knew it was the right thing to do. 'I have to apologize to Robin for not telling him sooner… And tell him why we didn't say anything… God, please don't punch me, please don't punch me…'

And in he walked through the kitchen door, seeing Robin scrubbing down the kitchen floor. Robin looked up and glared slightly.

"H-Hey, R-robin…"

Robin stood up and looked at him. He looked ready to pounce.
