Robin stirred about to get up when he remembered he was on vacation. He tried to turn over but something was on his chest, opening his eyes, to figure out what it was, he saw Starfire's head! Star's head was on his chest, her arms around his waist & his around hers. Robin froze, and then he remembered what had gone on during the late hours of the night. A small sigh brought Robin from his thoughts, looking down he saw Sat snuggling closer. Robin gave up trying to find a solution to his problem & instead realized he liked having Starfire there with him. But I don't want anything to be awkward he thought protesting his desire. Carefully he un-wrapped Star's arms from his waist, then gently transferred her head from his chest to a pillow. Silently he made his way to the bathroom, grabbing a pair of faded jeans & boxers from the closet. Robin hoped that the running shower water wouldn't wake Star.

Star woke to the sound of a running shower. Sleepily she opened her eyes, expecting to be on the couch, she was alarmed when she found herself upstairs in a bed; Robin's bed! Sitting up in the bed, she remembered what had transpired on in the night, horrified she couldn't believe she had asked him to stay with her during the night. Then she heard Robin call her name, ever so slowly she turned & when she finally let her eyes rest on him she almost fell out of the bed. There Robin stood, casually leaning against the doorframe, topless, & still wet; water dripped from his hair into his eyes. Shifting her eyes downward, she saw water also dripped from his clearly defined abs.

"Star you're awake. How did you sleep," he asked concerned.

"Uh okay," she replied her mind intoxicated at the sight of him.

"I'm going downstairs to make breakfast, so feel free to change or whatever you need to do," he said heading downstairs & out of sight. Once he was gone, Star dropped to the bed groaning how am I going to explain last night's action to him, maybe I should just tell him why I wanted to come here in the first place. Groaning once more she trudged off toward the bathroom.

"Mmm," Star said as she breathed in the smell of waffles. She floated toward the table & sat down. On the table were eggs, sausage, waffles, milk, & syrup, it was quite obvious the Boy Winder could cook.

Robin grinned, "Bon appetite." Shyly Star mimicked robin as he cut his waffles & drizzled them in syrup.

After finally taking a bite, Star thought it was almost as good as mustard, "Mmm so good."

"Oh thanks," he said puzzled, "haven't you ever had waffles before?" She shook her head in response.

"Um, Robin about last night I I… didn't," Star tried to stutter out.

"Star its okay. I don't want any awkwardness between us, I mean you're me gir…I mean my best friend," he chocked out.

"Uh just best friends," she questioned.

"Yeah," Robin said lying through his teeth, "did you think otherwise?"

"Yes & I believe you think so to or you would not be lying to me right now."
"I…but…how," flustered Robin.

"Well I am your best friend, I should know when you're lying, especially to me," Starfire got up & floated toward the door, "you should know it hurts when you do that, lie to me. By the way I'll be at the beach if you need me," then she left.
