Chapter 2 (Love Bites)
A/N: I realized to put up another chapter I actually had to write one first! ;)
There was something odd about that spider, and something even stranger about it's bite. As soon as it bit her, Star shut down. She didn't faint, her brain just shut down, slowly, energy fading. Like what happens when you turn off a computer. Everything went black for Star, and with her brain momentarily disconnected, she crumpled to the ground. Now keep in mind there are still spiders…EVERYWHERE! And although she did manage to kill some, by falling on them, many, many more remained. And they began to crawl over her. So Star was now cover in a thick layer of spiders…
It was then that Robin chose to realize his second most used catch phrase, "Starfire!" Squishing bugs as he went, he quickly made his way to her. Luckily Robin wears gloves and was able to brush off a lot of the spiders. He looked Star over while he helped her to he feet. She was konked out, no chance of her being able to fight. He thought about asking one of the others to take he home but really, Starfire and Robin where the least helpful, when it came to spiders. Sure Robin could squash them, and throw things out them, but they where smart bugs… They got out of the way! Meanwhile he yelled to Beastboy who was in the form of a T-Rex, stomping away… "Hey, something knocked Star out I'm going take her home, K?" No one stopped him. So he picked her up and carried her home in a classic princess fashion.
When they got home he sat her own the coach, and was about to walk away but… There was something about her that reeled him in closer. Maybe it was love, or maybe it was the fact that he knew something very odd had just happened. After all Star doesn't usually randomly faint… Or maybe something had happened… But no marks on her body proved that theory. But he could stop himself he stroked her hair, and tucked a stray bit behind her ear. Star mouth twitched into a slight smile, and though she was out for the count, she mumbled something in her language. Robin wished he could understand her, he wished he could know more about her, but most of all he wished he could kiss her. Suddenly he found himself leaning in, but he pulled himself back, the kiss could wait until she was conscious. Suddenly Star was wincing, her arm reached slightly for her right leg… Robin wondered… He unzipped the boot and gently pulled it off, and then he set it on the ground, and watched a spider scamper off. From where he was sitting he could see a slight red bump on her leg, where the spider had bit her, but he couldn't see the tiny fang marks…
After a while Star finally woke up to see Robin right above her, she smiled at this thought, until she realized she was in their tower. "Robin…?" "Star, we were fighting the spiders and you passed out, so I took you home." Star looked confused, but she nodded. She tried to sit up but winced, the spider bite stung like a bee's sting. Robin told her to stay there, and then ran off to get something for her leg… He came back two seconds later carrying a band-aid, and disinfectant. Star just laid back, and watched. Star couldn't help smiling when Robin unwrapped the bright pink band-aid, she wasn't sure why but it seemed really funny that macho Robin, was holding a delicate pink band-aid. She was smiling even more when he helped her to her feet, "That was one heck of a spider bite", he told her. "I will be fine", she assured him, trying not to wince, "It was only a small spider was it not?" Robin was about to reach out and tuck the loose hair behind her ear again but stopped himself. "Robin? What were you again to say? Before we found the spiders?" Robin strained to remember, that's right he was going to ask her to be his girlfriend… But the timing just didn't feel right to him, "Oh… Nothing…" He wanted to ask her… At the right time.
