Chapter III: Will You Marry Me?
Robin breathed very deeply. He stood outside his and Starfire's room. Starfire was inside, he could sense her. He felt so nervous, and yet, so free. In other words, Robin was either starting to feel that chugged freezie or he was falling for Starfire all over again.
Robin took another deep breath, and raised his hand to knock on the door. Just before he did, the door opened to show Starfire smiling at him.
"Robin you do not need permission to access your living quarters," Starfire teased. Robin smiled weakly.
"Hey uh, Starfire, do you want to go to a restaurant?" Robin asked while his voice was cracking a bit. It caught Starfire by a little surprise, but she did not understand why he was so nervous this time when he had asked her out before so easily many other times.
"Certainly, Robin, I would love to go," Starfire answered. Robin's face showed panic, but she still felt anxiousness from him. She moved to the side, and Robin stepped into the closet, grabbed a change of clothes, and walked into the bathroom. Starfire also grabbed her change of clothes and started to dress into her purple dress.
When Robin came out, he was in his tux, except it was new (since he ripped his old one in Date with Destiny). He put his arms around hers, and they walked downstairs. Cyborg was at the front door, working on something. He turned and just had to see Robin with Starfire. He chuckled to himself.
"We're going out," Robin explained as he and Starfire continued to walk by.
"Right, I'll see you love birds later in bed, heh heh," Cyborg almost chanted.
"At least Robin is in love, Cyborg," Starfire said as she put her head on Robin's shoulder. They left the Titans Tower.
Cyborg whispered to himself, "Not that you know."
Raven sat meditating in her room, feeling calm. Until she pried about the tower with her senses and found Beast Boy walking in circles outside her door, muttering to himself. She immediately knew what he wanted, since that was the only thing that drove him crazy. Beast Boy never was good at asking her to dates, even after two years. But then, he had a reason, since when she was in a bad mood her reaction wasn't good.
Better save him the trouble, Raven thought, and stood up. She walked over to the door and opened it. Beast Boy was walking in circles muttering to himself still. Finally, he stopped and went to knock on the door, when he realized that Raven was standing right there, wearing a rare smile on her lips.
Beast Boy chuckled slightly, and swallowed. "So, will you?" he asked, knowing that she had seen what he was going to ask already. Raven pretended to think about, watching Beast Boy's face go crazy. It was fun to watch the different colors his face went.
"Yes," Raven spoke, and BB sighed happily, glad she wasn't in a bad mood. Beast Boy walked into their room with her, and he put on his tux, while Raven put on a black dress. Beast Boy enjoyed watching Raven wear a dress, one because she made him drool, and two because it was the only other thing she owned. At least that he knew about. Raven had bought a dress on Tamaran with Blackfire and had kept it hidden from everyone.
The two passed by Cyborg who chuckled as they passed.
"We'll be gone for a while," Raven put simply.
"Riiight," Cyborg said, while thinking, Both couples going out the same night? I wonder if it's a prank.
Meanwhile, Fayrii and Jack were returning from their bungee jumping expedition.
"Well, now we know that we have to use a bungee cord that's half the length of what we're jumping," a beat-up Jack said.
"Yeah, who knew that they stretched twice their length?" Fayrii asked.
"I would," Cyborg said, jumping out of the shadows and grabbing both boys' tails. Fayrii and Jack held still, since their tails were their vulnerable spot. Cyborg led them to the living room couch, duct-taped them to chairs, and stood with plasma cannon ready.
"Alright, now what are ya hiding?" Cyborg asked.
"Nothing!" Jack yelled. Cyborg blasted him.
"Hey, don't blast my..." Fayrii was cut off as Cyborg blasted him.
"Now what are ya hiding?" Cyborg asked again.
"Nothing...anymore," Fayrii lied.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Starfire, Robin, Beast Boy, and Raven..." Fayrii began.
"Are going to..." Jack continued.
"Enjoy their dates,"
"We weren't to tell you because..."
"They didn't want you teasing them,"
"Are you happy now?" Jack asked.
"Alright, you win," Cyborg said, and turned on the game station, leaving the two Half-faeries to get themselves out.
Meanwhile, Starfire was enjoying spending dinner alone with Robin. She was eating a mushroom soup, while Robin, being the evil combat master he is, ordered a 10 oz. Steak. For some reason, he seemed not to focus on his meal like usual. She sensed he was right there, but he felt like he was far away. Robin was probably worried that she wasn't enjoying herself.
However, that only scarcely crossed Robin's panicking mind. Perhaps I should give you a taste of what he was thinking:
Is she alright is she enjoying herself what if this goes wrong what if I mess up what if she says no what if something happens before I can ask what if she thinks it's a joke Is she alright is she enjoying herself what if this goes wrong what if I mess up what if she says no what if something happens before I can ask what if she thinks it's a joke Is she alright is she enjoying herself what if this goes wrong what if I mess up what if she says no what if something happens before I can ask what if she thinks it's a joke Is she alright is she enjoying herself what if this goes wrong what if I mess up what if she says no what if something happens before I can ask what if she thinks it's a joke...
Is that enough for you?
Beast Boy wasn't in much better condition. Raven knew something was bothering him. She didn't know what, since he seemed to usually enjoy her favorite café. Slowly and secretly, Raven decided to pry about in his mind. BB sensed her and cut her off, using a technique that she had taught him.
"Heh heh, and you say I don't learn anything," Beast Boy teased. Raven rolled her eyes and rested her head on her hand, propping it up with her elbow.
"Your mind's too much of a mess to read anyway," Raven shot. BB's smile disappeared, and he frowned at Raven. She giggled ever slightly, which gave him a quick scare. After Raven finished her tea, Beast Boy decided. He took her out to one of Raven's most favorite places: the haunted house of Jump City. It gave Beast Boy the spooks sometimes, and Raven knew he was up to something.
"Beast Boy, why are we here?" Raven asked, and was surprised to see Beast Boy trembling slightly. "Beast Boy, are you alright?" she asked.
"I'm fine," he answered, his voice level and serious. He turned and faced her, and grabbed her hand. He took down to one knee, looked her in the eye, and took out a small black box, opened it, and said five words, "Raven, will you marry me?"
Robin ran through the park, looking for a place to hide. Have to hide, can't be found, after me, and must hide. Robin dove into a bush, and waited quietly, barely breathing. Suddenly, a purple blur slammed into Robin's back, picking him up. It dropped off at the bridge by the river, and Starfire landed next to a surprised Robin.
"I have found you, Lover Robin," Starfire giggled, having enjoyed their game of hide-and-seek. Robin smiled and he stood up next to her. They both looked out over the pond. Robin thought about what he was going to do, then stopped, realizing that it was make him panic.
Starfire sensed his anxiety, and asked, "What is the matter, Lover Robin?"
Robin took the opportunity, saying, "I need to ask you a question, Star."
Starfire's breath caught. She realized that they were alone, out in the park. She turned to face Robin. Not a lot of color was in his face, and he felt a bit frightened. Starfire caught her breath again, hoping it was what she thought.
Slowly, Robin took one knee, held hand, took out a red box, opened it, and in a level tone, asked her what she always wanted to hear from him, "Will you marry me Star?"
Raven's world came to an instant halt, and she forgot about everything except for herself, Beast Boy, and what he had said. He had said those five words, words every girl dreamed of hearing sometime in her life. Raven had believed it would never happen to her, until she and BB confessed two years ago. She had steadily believed that it would happen.
And now it had.
Taking a deep breath, Raven answered his question, "Yes." Beast Boy's face showed relief, and then joy. Jumping up like a two-year old, He grabbed Raven gently, and kissed her.
Starfire stood, still holding her breath. Robin had finally said it. She had always liked him ever since she had met him, and taught her to speak English. He had always been there for her, always taking care of him. And now he had said it.
Starfire answered with happiness in her voice, "I will glad fully marry you." Robin once panicky face vanished, to be replaced by one of pure joy. He picked her up, and kissed her long and good.
Robin breathed very deeply. He stood outside his and Starfire's room. Starfire was inside, he could sense her. He felt so nervous, and yet, so free. In other words, Robin was either starting to feel that chugged freezie or he was falling for Starfire all over again.
