Chapter 11

One step closer

Okay guys I'm trying a little Tamaranian. Let me know if its okay lol.

The night before Robin and Starfire's anniversary arrived. Robin was getting the last minute stuff done. He was excited for tomorrow. Starfire had a hard few months and she deserve this. "Robin?" He turned and looked at his princess.

"Hey Starfire. Just getting everything ready for tomorrow. It's going to be perfect. It's going to be everything you deserve." Starfire smiled. "Everything would be perfect just with you." She said sweetly.

Robin smiled. "Well I want tomorrow to be special. You deserve to be spoiled after everything you've been through princess." Starfire smile. "If you insist Mr. Grayson." She said with a smile. They kiss. "Would you like to hang out while I shower?"

Starfire nodded. "Sure." Robin kissed her again and headed in for a shower. Starfire laid on his bed, burying her face into his pillow. She inhaled his scent. It was a spice smell. She loved the smell of her boy wonder.

She looked at the ceiling with a smile. She didn't know what she did to deserve an amazing boyfriend like Robin. He trusted her and loved her with every ounce of his being. And she felt the same about him.

Finally after all the darkness and pain of their pasts, they both had a amazing life and love in their lives. She knew the future was uncertain, but with Robin she could do anything. Robin came in shirtless and black shorts.

Starfire smiled as she looked at her boyfriend's chest. She loved admiring his muscles. Robin smiled. "See something you like, princess?" Starfire blushed she locked eyes with him. He walked over to her and caught her lips with his.

Starfire laid back down, pulling him on top of her. His breath, hot on her face. She smiled. She reclaimed his lips and she ran her fingers through his ebony hair. He moaned into her mouth, putting one hand on one of her hips.

Starfire locked her ankles around his waist and pushed his lips harder to hers. He left her lips and started to nip at her neck. She moaned as his lips nipped and sucked at her neck. She grinded against him and moaned against her neck, sending chills up her spine.

"We should stop." He said breathlessly. She nodded. "Yes, we should." They kissed and Starfire laid her head on his chest. "Robin, I want you to know that when we decide to be together, I will be ready. I don't want you to think you're pressuring me."

Robin nodded. "I never want you to think I'm forcing you into anything." She nodded. "I am safe with you Robin. I know you will never hurt me. And I understand the abuse I endured still worries you." He sucked in a breath. She sat up and looked at him.

"The abuse I endured four years ago is in the past. I had many years to get through it. Being with you doesn't bring it back." Robin nodded. She laid back on his chest and he kissed the top of her head. 'Starfire you are by far the strongest person I've ever met.'

He buried his face into her hair and closes eyes. Starfire's last fluttered open and she felt for Robin. The bed was empty. She sat up. "Robin?" She looked at his alarm clock and saw it was almost time for the sunrise. Starfire changed and headed to the roof.

There he was, standing on the edge of the tower, looking at the sky. "Good morning." She said cheerfully. Robin turned and smiled. "Good morning beautiful." He walked over and handed her a bouquet of white roses and purple lilies.

"Oh Robin, they are beautiful!" She said as she took in the sweet smell. "Happy anniversary babe." Starfire looked at him lovingly. "Happy anniversary W'luyd Ria." She said. He raised an eyebrow worth a smile.

"It's equivalent to my love in your language." They kissed as the sun rose. They looked over as the risen sun shined on the water. "Today is going to be perfect for you. I figured we could spend the whole day doing what you want to do. Cyborg and the others have crime covered. I have dinner plans so make sure you dress up."

"Sounds perfect to me." Starfire kissed his cheek. "I just want to spend the day in the room." He nodded. They spent the day together in Robin's room watching movies. Starfire looked at her clock. "Robin, I think it's time for me to start getting ready." She said giving him a kiss.

"All right." Starfire headed to a room. Robin knocked on her door at 5 p.m. His jaw dropped when he saw her. Her hair was curled Loosely. She had a dark purple dress that went to her knees. And her makeup showed off her green eyes.

"Wow, you look amazing." She smiled as she smoothed her dress. "Thank you. You look very handsome." Robin was dressed in a black button-down shirt with a grey tie, black pants and black dress shoes. He offered her is arm.

She took it and they headed to the garage. He turned on the lights and there was his Shelby. Starfire looked at him with wide eyes. "You and I are going to Gotham for our anniversary." Robin opened the door and bowed. "Milady."

Starfire laughed. They made their way to Gotham. Robin opened her door and they made their way through the busy streets of Gotham. Robin walked her to a beautiful building. Starfire looked up Masa.

He walked in and he talked to the hose. "Grayson, table for two." The host nodded. "Welcome Mr. Grayson." Robin nodded with a smile, they sat down. "Richard, this is an amazing place." She said looking around.

"Yeah, but this is what you deserve so order whatever you want." She nodded. They ordered their food and they spent time just talking. Is this as fancy as Tamaran?" She giggled. "Yes maybe even more." Robin chuckled.

"Is this too much?" She shook her head. "This is perfect. I can't think of anything more perfect." Robin smiled." I'm glad." They finished their dinner and walked through the park hand in hand. "I never had this."

She looked at him. "What?" She asked. He looked at their hands. "This, a relationship. I was so hell-bent on avenging my parents, I never stopped to really have a life. I thought all I could be was a hero."

"And then you walked into my life, and showed me that I could be more." He looked into her green eyes. "And before I knew it, I was in love with you." She nodded. "I feel the same. I didn't know there was such a thing as kindness or happiness."

"I didn't know that I could do good for others. You showed me there was more to life than the darkness I was in. Robin smiled and kissed her in the moonlight.
