Chapter 19- Going To Be Okay
Robin moaned in frustration. "Oh, god, what are we going to do?" He asked. Starfire looked over at him. "Do not fret so much Robin, my people are very resilient. There's no way I am going to die from a stupid bite like this," she said. Robin looked over at her. "Here, let me at least get the first aid kit," he said. He walked over to a cabinet and pulled the kit out. He looked through all the antidotes and such until he found the right one. He gently put it on the bite. "Let's just hope the poison didn't get that far into your bloodstream." Starfire smiled gently at him. "Thank you, Robin," she said, "for taking care of me. Really, I feel so grateful sometimes to have a friend like you."
"Is that all we're ever gonna be?" Robin thought. "So, if the bite doesn't really affect you that much, why did it seem like it was going to kill you?" Robin asked. "Well," Starfire began, "of course it did hurt...it kind of still does but...uh..." Robin stared at her. "There still is a chance it can kill you, isn't there?" Robin asked her. Starfire glanced his way. "Yes, but it is very unlikely!" She assured, "I refuse to die from it!"
"Now you're starting to sound like me," Robin said, "well, let's get you comfortable. You might be in here for a while." Starfire fell back onto the bed. "Should we inform the others?" She asked. Robin looked over at her. "Only if you want to," he replied. Starfire pondered it for a moment.
Robin. With her. Alone.
Starfire had a small smile. "No, I do not wish to get them worried about me," was what her voice said but her eyes spoke otherwise.
Terra played with her fork and salad, watching the lettuce and such fall off the fork and into the bowl again. "You think they're making out?" She asked. "Only one way to find out!" Beast Boy exclaimed. Raven grabbed him by the ear. "If we keep ruining it, they'll never be able to make-out," she said. "But how are we supposed to know if they get together or not?" Aqualad asked. The rest of the titans stared at her. "I still say we shouldn't," Raven said. The titans sighed and began being bored yet again.
"Robin," Starfire began, "sit down please." Robin looked at her strangely for a minute but then sat down next to her on the bed.
WARNING! IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN "GO" THIS IS KIND OF A SPOILER FOR THE EPISODE! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED (stranded and go are the best episodes! ;)
Starfire chuckled for a moment. "Do you remember how we first met?" She asked him. Robin laughed a little bit. "Yeah," he said. They both blushed. "I had to learn your language some way," Starfire said. "I understand," Robin said. "Well," Starfire began, "I did not exactly regret what I did." Robin blushed a little more. "Do you regret it Robin?" She asked him. "Did you not want me to kiss you?"
"Um...I..." Robin began. Starfire scooted closer to him. "He is really cute when he is flustered." Starfire thought. She watched him as he got redder and redder and tried to make words come out of his mouth. Starfire scooted closer and touched his cheeks which were pretty warm. She stared directly into his masked eyes and leaned in. Her eyes closed shut. "Let's pretend I don't know your language anymore," she whispered. Robin knew where this was going. Finally, her lips captured his. It lasted for about a second before the two of them pulled away because Beast Boy had opened the door. Starfire quickly removed her hands from her cheeks and Robin turned away from the bed.
Raven came in behind Beast Boy and realized they had ruined yet another moment. "DAMN IT!" She shouted, "THIS IS LIKE THE WHAT, 6TH TIME! UGH!" And with that, she grabbed Beast Boy's ear and dragged him away. "Um..." Robin touched his lips, "Wow." He finally got out. Starfire sighed and shifted away from him. She was so embarrassed now! "I am sorry, Robin!" She squeaked. "I do not know what came over me! It was...I don't know...remembering."
Flashback
The alien watched as the boy took the screwdriver and got the shackles off her hands. She rubbed her wrist as he said, "There. Now maybe we can be..." But he was soon stopped by the alien putting her hand on his neck and captured his lips with her own.
End Flashback
Robin placed his hand on top of hers. "It's okay. Better then okay, actually. You know I...well," Starfire quirked an eyebrow and then smiled. "There he goes being so flustered again," she thought. "Robin," she began, "your cheeks are entirely red! Why is that?" Robin pulled at his collar. "All right," he thought, "I was so brave before and I'm not gonna cower out now!"
"Okay, Star," he began, "you might know this already, but...I've realized throughout us being a team and everything, I've grown closer to everybody. But...especially you. Because of you, I've learned to open up a little bit more just...not with my feelings. I've kept them locked up ever since the...accident." Starfire looked confused. "Accident?" She asked him. "What accident?" Robin looked over at her and stared directly into her eyes. "Please Robin," she began, "what happened? You can trust me."
"I know I can." Robin said. He took a breath. "I know I can." He said again. Starfire held his hand with both of hers. He kept breathing heavily for a few minutes before the words came out. "When I was pretty young, I was an acrobat with my parents. We were called "The Flying Graysons" until one day." He paused for a moment. "Look," he said, "I don't want to make this all angsty but, my parents died. And, yeah. Then I went with a millionaire, then I quit and now I'm here. With you guys."
"Robin," Starfire began, "I am so sorry for you. And if, there is anything I can do to help..." Robin took her hands. "The only thing I want you to do is rest and make sure you're gonna be okay from that bite." Starfire looked down at her ankle. "Oh yeah," she said, "I guess I forgot. It does not hurt anymore." Robin looked uncertain. "I still say we should get professional help." Starfire rolled her eyes. "You worry to much," she said.
"I worry plenty!" Robin exclaimed. "Do you know what would happen if I lose you?" Their faces were so close. "No," Starfire began, "but, would you tell me?"
"I don't wanna think about it," Robin said as his eyes began to close. Starfire closed hers as well. "Well," she whispered, "what do we do now?" Their noses and foreheads touched. "Actions speak louder then words," Robin said. They leaned in closer and the gap between them was gone.
