After the battle had ended, the boys had awkwardly retreated. Starfire gladly remained with Raven, both of them happy to just sit with each other on the roof of Titan's Tower. They watched the sun travel across the sky and the sunset. They watched stars appear from the darkness and the moonrise. After the moon was high over the horizon, Starfire laid her head in Raven's lap with a blush.
"You are as enjoyable to look at as the sky," she said.
"You too," Raven replied. When Starfire's eyes closed from her pleased giggles, Raven touched her forehead. Starfire sank into sleep, and so there they remained for some time.
It was a cool night, with a sweet-scented breeze riding in from the sea. In the dark sky above, the moon was huge and bright. Raven looked down, smiling at Starfire. The alien girl was still soundly sleeping, her head in Raven's lap and a smile on her face. Raven felt her smile grow and combed Starfire's long hair with her fingers. Her happiness was so great, she did not look away from Starfire when she sensed Robin's presence behind them.
"So." His voice was low and strained. Just as the day before, Raven could feel his anger. "I guess…I'll have to get over her." Raven said nothing, unable to reply. "After all that's happened…I really thought she loved me." He sighed. "I still can't believe she decided to be with you."
"Robin?" Raven murmured.
"What?"
"She never said anything about a decision." Robin sighed again, harsher than before. His boots shuffled against the roof as he turned away. He couldn't stand seeing Starfire in someone else's arms any longer. Raven let his anger roll away, instead concentrating on Starfire's peace.
"Raven," Starfire murmured in her sleep. Raven smiled, happy.
