Dedication- StarrGoddess

Chapter 20- Day 2, Brotherly Love

Raven heard someone fumbling with the lock on the door and jumped out of her steady trance. "Whose there!" she exclaimed. She walked over to the door and realized the aura of none other than Starfire. "Starfire?" she pulled the door open as she spoke. Starfire looked like a wreck. Her wet hair was clinging to her head, her eyes were puffy and red, she was still dripping water all over the floor and she was paler than Raven herself. "Wow… Starfire… What happened?"

"I…I… I cannot talk about it!" she screamed before running in the room and collapsing on the bed, pushing her head into the pillow as to muffle the sobs.

Raven, still in shock, though deeply. What could be so wrong with Starfire to make her act this way? Only one thought came to her mind…

"Starfire did something happen with Robin?" She asked this while sitting down gently next to the devastated Tameranian. She just wailed louder.

"If tis me fult!" Raven couldn't grasp what Star had been saying though the pillow.

"Star… Sit up… I can't understand if you talk to the pillow…" Starfire found the voice and support of her best friend comforting enough to sit up.

"I said it was my fault…" Starfire repeated, taking a deep breath. "All of it… It was all my fault…"

"What? What was all your fault?" Raven listened to Starfire intently as she told the whole story in about 5 minutes.

"And then he stormed off and I do not know where he went!" she finished, bursting into a fresh set of tears.

"I'm sure he doesn't blame you. None of us do… But, why didn't you stop him? I mean, it's not like you're helpless…" Raven noticed Starfire cringe.

"That is why it is my fault. I could have done something but… I was enjoying Robin getting jealous…" Starfire cringed again at her own words. Raven's jaw dropped slightly. She quickly snapped it shut.

"Well… Maybe… Maybe you should find him and talk to him…"

OoOo

Robin could still feel a little bit of the burning feeling in the pit of his stomach. He had gotten jealous before, but this was different. Heck, he had even felt it over Starfire before, but it still wasn't the same. He had felt better after beating the crap out of the kid, but then when he got to thinking, 'Ryan' deserved worse. Much worse… He observed his view of the lake from the beach. It was a little chilly but he had put on a hoody and was pretty comfortable. The sky was spotted with a few clouds but all in all it was still nice.

"Why?" he whispered to himself. He was a teen super hero… He wasn't supposed to beat up innocent people. "He wasn't innocent…" Robin kept telling himself that, but he couldn't shake the feeling of guilt he had over it. He sat down and threw a rock into the water.

OoOo

Beast Boy and Cyborg couldn't stay in the pool area with everything that had happened so they got out to dry off and gather their stuff.

"BB… Do you think Starfire's gonna be okay?" Cyborg asked the changeling as they walked out the door and back into the main part of the hotel.

"I'm worried about her… But I'm more worried about Robin…" he replied as he pressed the elevator button.

"Naw… Robin can handle himself. I just think he needs sometime to himself and then maybe a little chat with Star. But Star on the other hand… She's really sensitive and if Robin can't talk then she's not gonna take it very well." He stepped into the elevator and pushed 2.

"Starfire's tougher than you give her credit for…"

"Maybe… But I can't help thinking of her as a little sister…"

"I think their making way to big a deal of this little jealousy thing… It's not really a big deal. Even the Boy Wonder is aloud to get jealous now and then."

OoOo

Starfire walked out onto the rooftop of the hotel and sat on the edge, looking out at the water below. It was so beautiful. On Tameran their waters were harsh and feared, but here on Earth they were breathtaking and peaceful. She had told Raven that she would look for Robin… But she was afraid to. She had knocked on the door to his room but nobody had responded. What would she do? She had to talk to him. But she couldn't. Sighing, she stood up.

"You are so confusing…I am so confusing… Why did I want to be the damsel in distress? That is most stupid…" she mumbled to herself as if she would receive answers. Suddenly, she noticed someone was sitting on the beach by themselves… It was him. She could not mistake his midnight black hair and MTX t-shirt. She loved that he had not spiked his hair today. She lifted herself off the ground and began to fly over towards him.

OoOo

Raven contemplated what had happened with Starfire and Robin. The Boy Wonder jealous huh? She always thought it was funny when Robin got jealous but right now it didn't seem so funny… It was just one of those things you couldn't laugh at and knew that you never would, even through the passing of time. She wondered if Starfire had found Robin yet. She also wondered where the other two boys were, and if they were still off goofing around in the pool. For some reason, she doubted that. Standing up, she glanced at the clock. 2:52. They were supposed to be heading back to the park right now. She grabbed her hoody and headed for the door. A nice walk on the beach would do her some good.

OoOo

Robin jumped as Starfire sat down next to him.

"Hey…" he said quite blandly to her. He picked up a rock and it skipped 4 times across the water after he through it.

"Hello… I was just... I was on the roof and I saw you so I decided to-

"Come and talk to me about the whole thing that went on at the pool…" Robin cut in rudely.

"Robin, I did not mean to… If you do not wish to talk then-

"Starfire… Things happen that we have to talk about… So just because I don't want to, it doesn't mean we're not going to…"

"Why does it make you so uncomfortable?" Starfire questioned him.

"What do you mean?" He asked her as he made another rock skip across the lake.

"Why does it make you so uncomfortable when other boys do the 'flirting' with me?" She asked in a more detailed manner. Robin turned bright red.

"Well… Because you're… I mean I… You're like my sister!" Robin exclaimed. Starfire froze. He thought of her as a sister… She felt her heart skip a beat. She could not move. Not an inch. "Starfire?" She got really dizzy and shook her head. It was like her worst nightmare coming to life. "Starfire!"

"… Y…Yes…" She finally let out the breath she didn't realize she was holding. She blinked a few times and looked at him with a stoney sort of expression.

"Are you okay?" He asked, looking as concerned as a brother, Starfire noted.

"I am fine…"
