Thursday's Child:

Pairing: Robin/Starfire

She was innocence and power, everything good that couldn't be found on this world. He was raised by the night, being taught how to fight at an early age. They somehow belonged together, and no one questioned them.

Love, to them, was stolen glances, looks in the heat of battle, never the actual words. To say them out loud would be against the unspoken rules.

They were strong, unique, and complete within themselves. But with each other, they found that something had been missing their entire lives.

With each other they found that they were needed. Wanted. Accepted.

But in the end, it was unspoken words that made her cry herself to sleep at night.

The unspoken words that made him train harder and harder.

Nothing had prepared them for the other. And the unspoken rules had to break, before they did.

Slowly she would approach him, lay her hand on his arm, and whisper the words he needed to hear into his ear.

And he, in turn would whisper them back to her. Desperate, clinging words that meant everything to them.

And the sun would smile brightly down upon them for another day.
