Disclaimer: Don't own TT… yeah, yeah…
Tonight I'm tangled in my blanket of clouds
Dreaming aloud
Things just won't do without you, matter of fact
I'm on your back, I'm on your back, I'm on your back
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
If you'd accept surrender, I'll give up some more
Weren't you adored?
I cannot be without you, matter of fact
I'm on your back, I'm on your back,I'm on your back
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
Another heart is cracked in two; I'm on your back
I cannot be without you, matter of fact
I'm on your back, I'm on your back, I'm on your back
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
Another heart is cracked in two; I'm on your back
The sun shone on the cerulean waters below, casting a soft glow against the harsh waves. The only sound for miles was the soft pounding of the waves against the small island. Above, sat a girl. She was hidden behind a billowing cape of waist-length red hair. Her wide, emerald orbs traveled down to the ocean eroding the land below. Though the girl seemed to have a euphoric aura about her, she held a look of utmost sorrow.
"Star - ?"
Without turning, the teenage girl knew immediately who it was. Her best friend, her confidant, her teammate, her leader.
"What're you doing up here… alone?" the boy asked, his voice laced with curiosity and concern.
"Friend Robin! How joyous to see you! I was merely watching the sunset!" the girl exclaimed, not bothering to worry about how fake she sounded. Robin, ex-protégé of The Batman, didn't miss the sorrow within her voice. She hadn't even asked him to sit down. This was unlike the usually polite girl. His eyes narrowed and he sat down next to her.
Then, followed a pregnant pause. No words needed to be said.
"I am… sad that you are leaving…"
"You don't need to be."
"I know…"
Their voices trailed off, as the sun finally disappeared into the darkness. However, the two remained on the roof of Titan Tower, silently enjoying the presence of the other.
"Starfire?" asked the Boy Wonder timidly, so unlike him.
"Yes, Robin?"
"I'm always here for you, you know that?"
"I am aware of that, yes…"
Unsure of what to say next, Robin took the alien's hand in his own, giving it a gentle squeeze. He had to go to Gotham City and Starfire knew that. Batman expected him there; Batman needed him. And it wasn't as if this was a permanent visit.
"I will… miss you…" whispered Starfire, without glancing at the teenage boy next to her.
"It's not permanent; I'll be back," replied Robin. He, too, refused to look at his fellow teammate. This was followed by another long pause. By now, they were enveloped in darkness. Moonlight cast an eerie glow on everything below.
"May I… accompany you?" she asked, finally glancing his way.
"Star…"
"Anywhere you go, I go…" the girl challenged, causing the boy the to lock eyes with her and then after a slight pause, she added, "We shall always be together, yes?"
"Always, Star, always…"
