Please Be My Valentine

By The Silver Phoenix

Summary: Starfire wakes up on Valentine's Day to find a box of chocolates and a bouquet of roses addressed to her from a certain Richard Grayson. Confused, she seeks Robin's help. But little does she know that he has a surprise in store for her… RobxStar hinted BBxRae

Part the Second: Please Be My Valentine

After breakfasting and exchanging chocolates with the other Titans, Starfire went to seek out Robin. He was busy practising in the training room, as was his usual activity on a Tuesday morning… not to mention Monday, Thursday and Saturday mornings too. His sweat-drenched hair fell limp, almost obscuring his masked eyes from view, in disregard for the half-bottle of hair gel that had been spent upon the jet-black locks that morning; his face was flushed from exercise, and beads of sweat trickled down from his forehead, as well as soaking the back of his spandex uniform.

"Starfire!" he exclaimed when she entered, and reached out one hand to still the punching bag dangling from the ceiling, which was swinging violently on its metal chain, suffering from the brutal beatings dealt to it by the Boy Wonder. "Uh, hello," he greeted her and she picked up an undertone of expectation in his voice, almost as if he had been anticipating this visit from her. She saw his gaze flicker briefly to her hands, which she hid behind her back, concealing the Valentine's Day gifts from Robin's eyes… for now.

"Greetings, friend," she forced a smile, and dramatically brandished from behind her back… the box of chocolates and the Valentine's card. The roses she had left in her room, having placed them in a vase, allowing the blood-red petals to blossom and bloom, though their stems were severed. "Is it not glorious? I have received a 'Valentine' from whom I believe to be a secret admirer! I do not know him personally, but he is so very kind to have delivered these wondrous, joyous gifts to me, and I wish to thank him, though I do not know who he is."

Robin nodded, slowly, his eyes fixed intently on Starfire's face, never moving, carefully studying her face so that he captured every small change in her features, every small flicker of emotion, every little trace of sentiment in her emerald eyes. "That's very nice of him. Did he leave his name, Star?"

She held out the card to him. "I do believe he is named Richard Grayson." Starfire's heart gave a jolt as she saw a fleeting smile tug at the corners of Robin's lips, but it disappeared as swiftly and as abruptly as it had appeared, leading her to believe that perhaps it had just been a figment of her imagination. And yet, somehow, Robin's slightly amused expression seemed to say, Oh, him… as if referring to an old friend.

"D-do you know him?" she queried, puzzled.

"I suppose so," he said vaguely. Starfire's eyes widened. Reflected in the bright green orbs was a mixture of confusion, surprise, excitement and joy. Robin knows of this 'Richard Grayson'?

"I do not suppose I am acquainted with this friend of yours…?" She didn't dare hope—but what was she hoping for? Starfire asked herself. It was very sweet of a friend of Robin's to send her chocolates and roses and a Valentine, but what was worth more than a thousand boxes of chocolates, more than a sea of roses, and far beyond what can be expressed in a single love letter—what mattered to Starfire, more than anything else—was to know that Robin cared for, and perhaps even loved, her. I wish for nothing else…

"I should hope so," Robin's voice broke through her train of thought. He moved closer to Starfire and gently placed a gloved hand on her bare arm.

"But the only friends I have on Earth are you and friends Cyborg and Raven and Beast Boy…" she faltered. How can I know of this Richard Grayson? We do not socialise often, and the Titans are my only friends on Earth. How is it possible that—?

"Oh, no, Starfire," Robin smiled, "I think you know him very well."

"I—I do?"

"Of course," Robin whispered, his gentle voice close to her ear. Starfire felt his warm breath on her skin, and realised that they were closer than they had ever come to be before. He was close—close enough to make her feel tense, so close that she heard the loud, frenzied thumping of her heart throbbing in her head. "As a matter of fact, he is going to kiss you now."

She was rendered speechless, as she discovered the pleasant sensation of Robin's—Richard's—lips on hers. They were so soft, and his kisses were so gentle, pleading, gently probing her lips open and she relented, sub-conscious of his arm encircling her waist, and of the sleek fabric of his gloves playing all over her body.

"Richard—Robin—how—?" Starfire managed to gasp upon regaining her breath as they broke apart. "How can you and Richard be one and the same? I thought…" her voice trailed off as she found the answer. Richard is Robin, and Robin is Richard… they are two in one and Richard represents the playful side of Robin, the fun side…

"You still haven't answered my question," he interrupted. "Will you be my Valentine, Star?" he implored. "Please? At least for today…"

"Yes…" she whispered breathily. "Yes, of course…" Slowly, Robin tilted Starfire's chin up so that their eyes were level, and then, their lips met again. This time, they simply forgot everything else but each other. Though their love was infinite and knew no bounds, their time together was limited, and every second was to be treasured, every kiss savoured, for they could never get it back again.

They shared a long, fervent and passionate kiss. Their tongues touched and played, his hands slowly moved up and down her back, one placed at the back of her head, the other stopping just above the top of her skirt. Her hands entwined themselves within his hair and his cape, sending shivers of excitement crawling through his skin, and they were both oblivious to everything else. This is just like heaven, Starfire found herself thinking, just before she stopped thinking altogether. There was just the two of them in their own little existence… no one else to disturb them, no crime to fight, no villains to worry about, no pain and no struggle, only love…

For a moment, they were lost in their own world. A world where there was no one but each other, and their love. An immeasurable love without bounds; a love so great and infinite that it encompassed their world in its entirety. They were lost in a world of love.

And then they broke away, ending their kiss. They were thrust back into the cruel real world. For a moment, they had been whisked away to that timeless dreamland of lovers… but only for a moment.

Yet it was enough. They had both experienced true love, and craved, hungered for more. Only those who have truly experienced love can understand it, in all its complexity. Yet at the heart of this intense intricacy, lies something small yet infinite, delicate, and ultimately beautiful.

A/N- OK, it might seem finished but there's still one bit left... quite funny, I assure you. (Or... as funny as I can try to be, since I'm not a very funny person by nature) Hopefully I'll update soon ;) Oh yeah—please review this update. If you want, that is. I'd be grateful for any comments, suggestions, etc. from you readers

A very happy Valentine's Day to everyone!
