Chapter Two: Who, What, When, and Why?

Oh, yay, this is the part you all have been waiting for. Since it turned out to be so long, a whole chapter had to be dedicated to explaining why I've been thinking the way I have. You know, you could probably skip over this whole chapter and it wouldn't even matter. Seriously, no one wants to hear me ramble on about my feelings, so you might as well just ignore this whole thing. Please.

Still reading? Well, now don't I feel special. Okay, since you're still here just keep on reading until you feel like you are on the brink of spontaneously exploding out of sheer boredom. Or if you decide to wait for the fireworks, then kindly get your friends to help clean up the mess you so politely chose to leave and take the exit on the right. Or if you don't even have any friends then I suggest you stand up, walk out of your house, and greet the brand new world.

Let's start with the "whom" then. (Yes, "whom." Pick up a grammar book, geniuses.) As you may have noticed in the previous chapter, at this point in my life I have feelings for Robin.

Whoa, calm down, Starfire/Robin fans. It was clearly stated that this was going to be a story about Robin and I. Remember, exit's at the upper right hand corner.

Moving on, then . . .

"What?" feel•ing (fē'lĭng)

n. 1e : A tender emotion; a fondness.

"When?" Gradually over time. At the beginning of the Titans, he was the first to accept me even though I insisted against it, and it sort of went on from there. For a few moments during what may have been the end of the world, my feelings changed dramatically and I wanted to be with him all the time. Such naivety was washed away after I realized that the current state of our relationships could not, and should not be changed. We were all already content with the way things were, so what gave me the right to alter that?

"Why?" Now this is most likely the longest part of my annoying ramble of internal conflict. Plainly speaking, Robin makes me happy. His optimistic disposition makes me want to be just a bit cheerier, and progressively so if his company is shared with me for a long period of time. Now, I know what you're thinking. "Well, Beast Boy is always trying to make you happy, but you almost never give him a chance!" Yeah, okay, no. Beast Boy tries to be funny and I'm the ultimate challenge in his comedic pastimes. He does make me happy sometimes, but he tries too hard which makes him obnoxious most of the time. He's my friend and I love him, but not the way a lot of you seem to think.

"Yeah, but Robin isn't as optimistic as Beast Boy! He's even pessimistic a whole lot of the time." The latter being so because he tries to be serious about his job. However, when caught in his free time, he is jovial and pleasant to be around. Unlike Beast Boy, Robin respects that I value, nay, treasure my space. He makes me happy, but does such in moderation so as not to annoy me.

Wow, would you look at all the people at that exit. Must have been the Beast Boy stuff.

Another reason why I like Robin so much is that he's always there for me when I need it the most. He always knows exactly when I need a little pick-me-up, or maybe even a game of twenty questions in the situation of Trigon's emergence. He's understood me more than anyone else has and is the first person I go to when I'm feeling troubled.

All this leads up to the main idea, being that I am attracted to Robin. The supporting idea, unfortunately for me, is that I cannot interfere with the bonds that are. He is in love with Starfire and I am not Starfire.

Since there's a little room left in this chapter, let me fill you in on what will be going on in the next chapter. We're back at the Titans Tower and discussing the matter of Slade with the Titans that took our place while we were gone. My mind is doing its best to repress any unwanted thoughts, Cyborg won't get off the phone with the mechanics shop in Tokyo that's handling the T-ship, and Beast Boy is whining about his lack of tofu.

Don't forget to wash behind your ears, that man really doesn't have candy in his trunk, and good night.
