Chapter 4 - I Want To Tell You Something

At titans tower everybody went of to bed, they were exhausted and needed to rest. Starfire couldn't sleep, she was going down the hall way to the kitchen to get something to drink when she sudenly realised that she had just passed Robin's room. She remembered about the fight he had earlyer and remembered Robin's reaction when Doom threatend her. She stood there levitating for a while trying to get her thoughts toghether. Ever since Robin saved her from the Gordanians she had secretly loved him and tryed to get as close to him as posible but she didn't know how he felt about her. Further more, he seemed to be more interested in his work and research than in her. In fact, she thought that she didn't arouse even one speck of interest in Robin's mind, let alone in his heart. This made her sad as she was madly in love with him and wanted to find out how he felt about her.

Thinking that Robin was asleep, she opened his bedroom door to check on him, but Robin was awake at his desk and working. She entered his room silently. Robin was trying to piece togheter the ends of this story, he wanted to know what made Rage refuse to come to the tower. He was very tired but he refused to sleep. Starfire levitated through the room towards Robin.

Robin's room was full of mechanical gadgets, tools and other stuff like that, his walls were covered with news paper articles and maps, his desk was filled with files and various other documents.

"Robin, why are you still awake?" asked Starfire touching him on his shoulder.

Robin was startled and jumped seeing how he was in deep concentration. "Starfire, phew ... it's only you." said Robin catching his breath.

"Of course it is only me, where you expecting anyone else? Should I leave?" Starfire asked surprised.

"No, you don't have to, you can stay if you like" said Robin who didn't want Starfire to feel rejected.

Robin loved Starfire just as much as Starfire loved him, but he had the same problem as her, he didn't know how she felt about him and how she would react if he would tell her his true feelings.

"Robin, what were you doing before I came in? It seems that you are very busy" said Starfire.

"Oh nothing! Just a little research that's all" replied Robin.

"Robin you have researched to much these last past nights. No more researching, please, you must get some rest. You can research tommorow as well. Please Robin, do it for me!".

These last 4 words made Starfire realise that she had just shown Robin a little side of her great afection for him and it made her heart shrink. Robin was also impresed by those last 4 words and also realised that it meant that Starfire did in fact have feelings fo him. They both blushed and avoided to face each other prefering to take a small peek after which they would look back, embaresed.

Robin decided to tell Starfire about how he felt for her. He didn't know if it was the right moment but he took a chance.

"Star, I want to talk to you about something" said a crimson faced Robin.

"Yes!" responded Starfire with a weary voice.

"Strafire, I was wondering, we know each other for some time now, right?".

"That is correct Robin".

"Well, I was thinking, you and me are very good friends, we talk about a lot of things and we never hide anything from each other".

"You are right again. Robin, I feel the same way about you".

Robin took Starfire's hand. It made both of their hearts race at and alarming speed, the tension was great, their blood rushed through their veins like crazy. Standing there, holding their hands, looking at each other was something magical for both Starfire and Robin. They felt their chests were going to explode.

"Starfire, I want to tell you something, something I want you to know, and I hope that you share the same feeling towards me as I do towards you".

"Yes! What is it?" asked Starfire who was shaking like a leaf, almost on the verge of droping on her knees and beging Robin to tell her he loved her.

Robin got nearer and nearer.

"Star, I want to say that you are my best friend. You care about me and always look out for me, and I share the same feelings and emotions ... and ... I want to tell you that I consider you much more than a friend".

If Robin still had a needle in him he would have poped like a baloon. Starfire didn't know how longer she could bare the tension before she would jump all over the boy she loved and kiss him.

"I guess I just want to say ... " .

"Yes? Yes?".

Feel the tension, if you can't, try to imagine it.

Robin gathered all of his courage and started:

"I want to say that I lo ... " but just then Beat Boy walked into the room and ruined everything.

Robin and Starfire separated quickly so that Beast Boy wouldn't suspect anything.

"Beast Boy you're dead!" said Robin to himself.

"Hey you guys, what are you talking about, aren't you asleep yet? I was walking to the kitchen and heard you two speak".

Starfire was embaresed and felt ackward.

"I think I should go now" and flew of to her room quikly.

"No, Starfire wait!" said Robin; but to no avail, she already was in her room, under her sheets, crying because she loved him and didn't know what to do.

"What was that all about?" asked Beast Boy.

"Get out of my sight!" shouted Robin " ... you just had to come in and ruin everything like you always do!" and slamed the door in BB's face.

Beast Boy was amazed and didn't understand what was going on, but he soon realised he did a big mistake barging into Robin's room and went of to his room feeling guilty for ruining Robin and Starfire's moment togheter.

Robin took a bird-a-rang and threw it, he also kicked his desk and then sat down on his bed.

"How am I ever going to tell Starfire I love her now? This was my best chance yet! Who knows when I'll get another chance like this" said Robin to himself while going to sleep and thinking about only one thing ... Starfire.
