"So what do you think," Star asked fidgeting with her hair.
"Um… its," Robin tried to speak, but was at a loss for words, "Yeah I like it." It was a 2 story loft cottage. The downstairs was one big room with a small kitchen, small round table & pantry. Across from the kitchen was a couch facing a giant window overlooking the ocean. Next to the couch were 2 end tables, next to the window a bookcase & closet. Near the pantry a staircase that led to the upstairs. Upstairs was a big one bedroom with a bathroom. Near the giant bed was yet another bookshelf & small easy chair, opposite a big closet.
"Good cause I like it too." Star said, "Sorry about the one bed. You can have it I'll sleep on the couch."
"No, I'll take the couch."
"No, you will take the bed because you were just in a coma & though you hate the thought, you are still just a teensy bit not right with the rain."
"Star you mean right as rain & just 'cause I was in a coma awhile doesn't mean I won't be ok."
"Robin, the real reason is I do not want to lose you like that ever again & if there is a way to prevent that then I will use it."
"Star I won't…"
"Please Robin just for tonight? Please?"
"Alright."
"Thank you, I'll bring the luggage up," Star said gratefully. Robin sighed & sat down, truthfully he was a bit glad he had the bed he was still a bit weary & dizzy. But also felt guilty Star deserved the bed she had already done so much for him.
"Robin," star asked worried, "you are ok?"
"Yeah, "Robin said, "was just thinkin'."
"Well I was thinking maybe you might want to see Lady Elise, she invited us for dinner or we can go tomorrow."
"I think tomorrow would be better, I can make us something to eat."
"No thank you on the food, but your right tomorrow is better," star said walking down the stairs. "I will sleep now goodnight."
"'Night Star," Robin said heading toward the closet to change. Once in sleeping shorts & a t-shirt, he slipped under the covers closed his eyes & faced a dreamless sleep.

Grrrr, sitting up Robin wondered what that noise was. Grrrrrowl. Hahahaha, he thought, it's my stomach must be hungry. Slowly Robin got up, tiptoed down the stairs &over to the pantry, remembering Star had said the kitchen was fully stocked. Grabbing some graham crackers & a glass of milk, Robin sat down. Finishing he put the glass in the sink & began to tiptoe back upstairs not wanting to wake Star. Then she moaned thinking she was in trouble he ran to her side but realized she was still asleep. Sighing he turned towards the stairs, but she said his name.
"Robin," she whispered.
Turning he saw she was still asleep thinking he finally got it, sleep talking.
"No! no please," she pleaded, "please don't leave. Please!" Gently, Robin shook Star awake.
"Star," Robin said.
Opening her eyes she whispered. "Robin?"
"Star I'm right here you were having a nightmare," he whispered softly.
"Robin, don't leave please," she said burying her head into his t-shirt, sobbing.
"Star I'm gonna take you upstairs ok?"
"ok." Silently Robin carried Star up the stairs bridal style & laid her on the bed.
"Star I'm gonna go," he began.
"No." star said panicking, "Please don't go please I don't want to have that nightmare again. I'm so scared."
"Ok, ok I'll stay right here." Immediately she relaxed, breathing steadily & in minutes was asleep. Robin watched as Star's face was completely peaceful it made him sleepy, about to go he thought, just a few more minutes. Leaning against the headboard he watched her until, he to was asleep. There the two heroes lay at peace; Starfire & Robin holding hands.
