You knew it was coming. My RobStar shot.
The sun was just slipping over the horizon, and a cool autumn breeze stirred the fiery read hair of the Tameranean who was sitting on the roof of Titans Tower. Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath of fresh air and sighed with pleasure. Eyes still closed, she heard the sound of footsteps and felt another's presence beside her.
"It's really beautiful tonight, isn't it?" Robin asked, looking out at the sunset, as was their evening ritual.
"It always is," Starfire agreed, turning to face him. Internally, she had so many other things she wanted to say. But if she ever dared to begin to say them, someone or something would interrupt, or she would phrase it so the true meaning wasn't apparent. So too did Robin wish to say things, but for him it wasn't that the situation didn't permit it, but that he had no idea what he wanted to say. Every time he thought he knew how to say it, something changed, so that the words he had planned couldn't begin to explain.
The sun had fully set in their moments of silence, and Robin lay back, looking at the sky. Starfire watched him; he always seemed so peaceful once the sun had set. She thought it might be because it meant the day was over and the world still spun. That his work could be left until morning, and he could relax. That was part of it, but the main reason he smiled was the company he was in.
The first light of the night appeared, and Starfire pointed it out. Robin sat back up, a faraway look on his face. "Starlight, Star bright" He began in a soft voice. Maybe it was just an old childhood rhyme, but Robin didn't think of it that way at that moment. "First Star I see tonight." And he looked at the first Star he saw every night, and every morning. The only Star he wanted to see. "I wish I may, I wish I might," Starfire looked at him curiously, emerald eyes wide with intrigue. "Have this wish, I wish tonight" Robin finished, taking her hand in his. The soft smile remained, but even beneath the mask, a look of longing had crept onto his face.
"What did you wish for?" She asked, after a moment had passed.
Robin smirked. "You know, they say if you tell someone what you wished for, it will never come true."
Starfire gasped softly. "I am sorry, I did not mean to jeopardize your wish, I merely-"
Robin shook his head. "It's all right" He said. "You've already come true."
They weren't the words he had meant to say, they weren't words he had even allowed himself to think. They were words Starfire had never expected to hear, carried a meaning she'd never dared to hope for. From far across the galaxy, his wish upon a Star came true.
