In My Head: Part 3

Starfire followed Robin out the door. He was already descending the spiral staircase. She ran to the rail and leaned over it.

"Robin!" He stopped short at a flat ledge and looked up. His eyes softened at the sight of her, but it was barely noticeable.

"What is it Star?"

"Why are you leaving? You have not done the dancing with anyone. Is that not the point of one of these social functions?" While she was speaking, Starfire had been going down the stairs to Robin.

'She looks stunning,' Robin thought as she came towards him. She stopped right in front of him. She cocked her head, waiting for an answer.

"I don't dance Star, you know that." He turned to leave, but her voice stopped him.

"You did once, Robin. Do you not remember?" He froze. He remembered very well; it was one of his favorite nights. He got to hold her and dance with her and smell her intoxicating scent. All of that in one occurrence was extremely rare. He turned around.

"Star, we can't."

"Why not?" Her face was sad, and it pained him to see it so, especially since he knew he was causing it.

"You know why. We have to protect the city- that's our duty. We can't get distracted by other things." Starfire walked up to him, and put her hand softly on his face. He unconsciously leaned into it.

"Just once more Robin. Can we not do it just once more?" He didn't move for a minute.

He reached up to take her hand off his face. Starfire's face fell, until she saw what he was doing. He took her hand off his face so he could hold it in the air, and he put his arm around her waist, pulling her close. She smiled and put her hand on his shoulder.

They danced. The music from the ball was faint, but just loud enough for them to hear it and dance to it. While they were dancing, each felt as though they were where they needed to be at that moment. They both knew that this could only happen once. After this, they were back to being heroes, to saving the city.

As the music came to a stop, so did they. It was quiet for a moment. Robin moved his hand from her waist to her hold her neck, and leaned in. They shared a bittersweet kiss, knowing that this may be the only time they ever got to have it. They pulled away after a moment and looked into each others eyes.

"Thank you Robin." Starfire said.

Robin stepped back with a smirk on his face. He bowed, took her hand, and kissed it gently. "It was my pleasure, milady." He straightened and turned. He walked down the rest of the stairs and walked out the door, leaving Starfire smiling behind him. A tear ran down her cheek as she turned and walked up the stairs.

Robin stopped outside and let the cool air surround him. He breathed a sigh.

"I love you, Robin."

"I love you Starfire."
