Starfire cried softly as she buried her head in her hands. Suddenly she felt a warm hand on her shoulders. Immediately she wipes away the tears but her face was still buried in her hands.
"Star…"
Starfire P.O.V
"What's wrong?"
I could hear Robin's voice ringing in my ear. Hoping that he would not suspect something, I look up at him. I was glad I mopped away the tears before looking at him or else he would think I'd be crying for some big issue.
I look at Robin and start to open my mouth to answer. But before I could even speak, Robin had cut me off.
"You've been crying, Star. Tell me, what's wrong?" he said as he took a seat beside me.
"Crying?" I choked and giggled weirdly. "I'm just practicing one of my Tamaran traditional songs and it was really sad, that made me," I cleared my throat a bit. "Cry," I continued while grinning sheepishly at him, partly hoping that it'll help to cover me to answer the question truthfully.
Robin raised an eyebrow. "Star..."
Without any further waste of time, I pretended a yawn. "I'm so sorry, friend, I feel very tired now and I must go back to my slumber. The lie didn't make me feel easy at all. I felt guilty for I never did lie before…especially not to Robin. But heck, desperate times call for desperate measures.
Before Robin could even reach out to grab me, or to even make any sudden movements, I dashed down to my room. I nearly crashed into Raven and Beastboy on my way but I quickly apologized to them. As soon as the door slid shut, I gave a sigh of relief.
What will Robin say if I tell the truth? No…I can't tell him, he wouldn't understand the way I exactly feel. I know that Robin is practically on the way to my room. He certainly knows that I told a lie. Feeling a bit worried, I finally decided to get out of the tower just for the night and come back during the morning.
I know I'll get spotted or worse, recognized. People will think what happened to me since I'm part of the Titans and walking down alone in the streets? Impossible. I need to disguise but Robin will be here any second now. Throwing away my first idea, I sat back down on my bed and start thinking of a good answer.
A few seconds later, my room door slides automatically open. There stood Robin with a concerned look on his face. Robin usually knocks before coming in but this time…why? I think that he's too eager to find out what had happened to me. Typical Robin.
Always eager to solve things, especially by himself. That's what I really dislike about him.
"What are you doing here Robin?" I asked, trying to sound my usual voice but eventually I found myself choking it out.
"Star," he said sternly as the door behind him slide shut. "I don't know what's gotten into you but why did you lie to me back there?"
Thinking that the situation would be much better, I looked back at him innocently. "What did I lie about Robin?" Dammnit! I lied again. Now I better think of something truthful to tell him before things would get worse.
I thought by the time I finished replying his question, Robin would have glared angrily and me but no, he did not. Robin walked to my bed as he sat down on it. "Koriand'r," he spoke.
I knew this time he won. He and his…brains! How can he be so smart in telling whether I'm lying or not. I gave a sad sigh.
"Robin…I don't know this but I…" Before I could even finish my sentence, my door again slides open and there stood Barbara, looking pleasantly happy.
"Robin! There you are! I've been finding for you. Beastboy wants me to tell you guys to hurry up since it's…what he said again," she thought for awhile before her eyes lit up again. "Movie night!" she smiled as she walked over to him and pulled him up from my bed.
Inside me I felt jealousy burning inside me as my cheeks flushed hotly. On the other hand, I felt a slight relief as I didn't have to tell Robin why I was really crying about.
Robin glanced back at me before turning to Barbara. "Babs, Star and I had to work out something…" I hung my mouth wide open at his response to the situation. I wanted to shake my head at her, signaling Barbara to drag Robin out but I hesitated.
Barbara glanced from Robin then to me. She then gave a sigh. "Alright Robin," she spoke. "I will wait for you in the main room but please hurry up."
She then walked out of the room coolly and the door once again slid back shut. My door would get spoiled from all the sliding open and close if this happens everyday. Silently groaning, I look back at Robin who had just turned to face me.
"Continue," he said, smirking, as he leaned casually on the wall.
Gosh he looked really cute when he does that. All those smirking…and especially that pose that took my breath away.
"Robin…can I not tell you now?" I said after gathering enough courage to tell him that.
Robin stares at me confusingly. But before he could even speak another word, I hugged my pillow gave him a pout. Robin's lips soon curled from a smirk to a smile.
"Alright Star…another time that is," he said as he walked over me and planted a kiss on my forehead. "Come on," he said. "I don't expect Beastboy to be really happy that the fact we're late for movie night," he smiled at me as he offered his hand to pull me up.
I giggled a little before taking his hand and got up from my bed. Both of us then walked out of the room side by side.
Well…that's it for now for this chapter. I'll try to update soon enough as I got some more stories that I want to finish. sigh well…please kindly leave a review. It'll be much appreciated by me.
Oh and another thing, I'm sure you guys noticed that this story Barbara was not much in it. Well, don't worry but the next chapter, I'll make sure it's Robin's P.O.V.
What will happen during the movie? What does Starfire have to do to keep her 'secret'? Find out in the next chapter of Goodbye!
Is it over? Is it over? Oh phew…and I thought it never was going to be. Wait…huh what? It's still rolling? Oh my god! Turn it off! It's not funny! Ahem heheh…
