Wow. I think I like writing songfics a whole lot better than stories...or maybe it's a phase. Well, now this is songfic-mania! Disclaimer: I own none of these songs (unless I think of writing one) or TT.
I still hear your voice, when you sleep next to me.
I still feel your touch in my dreams.
Forgive me my weakness, but I don't know why.
Without you it's hard to survive.
Starfire had gotten very good at pretending, or as most of the other Titans would call it, lying. However, she argued with herself, this could not be considered lying, for it is hurting no one but myself. She cleaned the Tower, as usual, trying to force a huge grin on to her face. It worked...mostly.
"Star? Something wrong?" asked Robin. Starfire resisted the urge to groan, which would probably give away the fact that something was wrong. Of course he had to figure out her act. She smiled sweetly at him, or as sweetly as she could manage at the moment.
"No, Ro-friend Robin. Everything is glorious! It is a beautiful day and everyone is in such a wonderful mood!"
Robin cocked an eyebrow. "There's a thunderstorm outside. Plus, Raven blew up a light five minutes ago because Cyborg had to punch Beast Boy to get him off the game controller." As if on cue, lightning flashed outside. Starfire's fake grin faltered.
"Oh...perhaps I should just persist with my cleaning then...the Tower shall be brightened if it is not dirty, yes?" said Starfire, eager to get away. Robin grabbed her arm and she tried not to gasp as a surge of electricity ran up from her elbow.
"Did I shock you? Sorry, it's the suit. Everytime I forget it has to be dry cleaned and put it in the washer...but you didn't answer my question. What's wrong?"
Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss I swear I can fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
Need you by my side.
It was merely a static shock, Starfire. Stop being so jumpy! Starfire ordered herself. "Nothing is wrong, as I have told you before."
"I don't believe you," Robin stated bluntly. He was very good at being blunt. Starfire sighed.
"You need not believe me, R-friend Robin. I only wish to 'get over with' the cleaning. Please walk with caution; the floor is slightly wet."
Robin smirked. "Unless you can get me to believe you, I'm not going to let you out of the hallway." Starfire sighed. She was in no mood for games, especially not today, and especially not with Robin. She tried to maneuver her way past him, but he had all the exits covered. "Starfire, if you'd just tell me, there wouldn't be a need for this, now would there?"
"I have told you that nothing is wrong! Even if there was something wrong, you must not try and force it out of your friend like this!"
"Yeah, well, it's been going on for weeks now, whatever it is, and if something's not right, I want to know!"
"Know this: it is your fault entirely!"
That took Robin aback. "My fault?"
Cause everytime we touch, I feel this static.
And everytime we kiss, I reach for the sky.
Can't you hear my heart beat so
I can't let you go.
Want you in my life.
"Always, it is you! You are always there to catch me when I fall in battle, always there to help me when I am in trouble, always there to help me understand everthing, and always there...just with me! It is infuriating! I do not understand. Why was I so miserable when you left to undertake the journey to train with the True Master, when you accepted the prom duel-date with the rather disturbing Kitten, and when you had payed so much attention to my sister rather than me? Why was I so happy when you and I were elected king and queen or when we had been sitting on the enjoyable ride of wheeling on the Ferris or whenever you are near me? I do not feel so for Beast Boy or Cyborg. Why you? Why--"
Your arms are my castle, your heart is my sky.
They wipe away tears that I cry.
The good and the bad times, we've been through them all.
You make me rise when I fall.
Starfire was interrupted by Robin. He had been listening to this speech with an enormous amount of surprise evident on his face, but finally snapped out of his daze. He grabbed her around the waist and pulled her close to him, planting his lips on hers.
Starfire had never felt such a whirl of emotions as were occupying her right now, but they were all very pleasent. Surprise was there, of course, but she had never been more happy, or less confused, or any more blissful. There was something new...it had always been there, but now she knew what it was. Love.
Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss I swear I can fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
Need you by my side.
This is why he is always there to catch me when I fall in battle, always there to help me when I am in trouble, always there to help me understand everthing, and always there...just with me. This is why I was so miserable when he left to undertake the journey to train with the True Master, when he accepted the prom duel-date with the rather disturbing Kitten, and when he had payed so much attention to my sister rather than me. This is why I was so happy when him and I were elected king and queen or when we had been sitting on the enjoyable ride of wheeling on the Ferris or whenever he is near me. I love him, and he loves me. This is why.
Cause everytime we touch, I feel this static.
And everytime we kiss, I reach for the sky.
Can't you hear my heart beat so
I can't let you go.
Want you in my life
Starfire pulled away after a while, hugging him happily. Robin was still a little taken aback over everything that had happened in the last few minutes, but he was already in love with the idea. His head started to clear, and he realized his feet were no longer touching the ground.
Starfire giggled. "My apologies. It is rather difficult to contain my joy at the moment."
Robin smiled at her. "Let's stay up here...till dinner, anyway."
Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss I swear I can fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
Need you by my side
