Robin and I had just finished in the medical room of the T-tower and my legs looked as if nothing had ever happened, my back however still had a few light scars, but it wasn't anything too serious, so I was happy, but Robin hadn't said anything since we got back and, naturally, that bothered me. So, in silence we headed to the main room to wait for the others.
I sat on the white sofa, unaware that Robin was watching my intently from the dinner table across the room. I made a mental to take some sleeping pills for going to bed later.. nightmares were bound to happen after today if I didn't. That womans eyes.. I'll never be able to forget that image.
I sighed and looked up to see Robin, now standing in front of me. I cried out in surprise and fell of the sofa, I looked up at him, as he stared down at me looking amused, then we both burst out laughing, he put his hand out to help me up which I took gratefully, "Thanks" I said smiling, "Anytime... can I ask you something?" I looked at him, he looked nervous, and smiled "Of course you can"
Beast Boy POV
I landed on the roof of the T-Tower with Star and Rae, smiling like a lunatic. I can do this. You are the man! I continued to give myself a pep talk in my head. "What are you doing?" Raven's monotone voice asked, I looked at her confused then realised I was jumping up and down, I stopped and looks down embarrassed while rubbing the back of my neck.
"I think friend Beast Boy is excited to see friend Spark" I looked at Starfire, who was smiling.
"pfftt.. Nooo... I'm just excited to see... the..." Damn BB think fast! "Uhh... the dinner?" God I sounded stupid.
"Of course you are." Raven said sarcastically clearly not believe that rubbish lie.
Star however looked very confused "but you are in the love with friend Spark? Are you not?" For the first time ever I was speechless... was I in love with her... I looked at them both not knowing what to say... I liked Spark a lot, for sure... but love? Did I? I eyed the door on the roof that led downstairs and made a run for it.
I ran past the girls, who were staring at me with too much interest, but I skidded to a stop in the main room to see something that shocked and hurt me to my core. "What are you doing? " I shouted.
He looked at me surprised and tried to cover up his betrayal... "I wasn't doing anything... I umm... uhh..." I stormed over to him in the kitchen.
"Don't lie to me Cy! You were trying to throw away my Tofu! You know I need it! And I-"
I continued on my rant, even when Star and Rae came in to see what the fuss was about, but stopped when Star asked, "Where is Robin and friend Spark, they should be here..." We all looked at each other confused "the T-car is downstairs... so they definitely came back." I frowned to myself. I hate it when Robin and Spark are alone... I... wait... Am I jealous? Nah!
"Look here" We looked at raven staring down at a note in her hand, I read over her shoulder:
Hey Guys
Gone to get pizza
We'll be back soon
Spark & Robin
Robin POV
I can't believe it! I chickened out! I mentally sighed, well at least were alone for a while.
I looked at my smiling Spark next to me as we walked down the empty street towards the pizza place and saw her shiver slightly and she tightened her coat around her, "you ok?"
She looked at me and nodded "just a little cold"
I hesitantly put my arm around her waist and pulled her closer to me, "Better?"
She looked at me and had a faint blush on her cheeks "yeah, much better..." As we continued walking she rested her head on my shoulder.
Spark and I have always been close but this was new... and I loved it.
Sparkbomb POV
When Robin said he wanted to ask me something, I definitely was not thinking it would be this. Getting pizza? But now I am certainly not complaining. Walking down the dimmly lit street with Robin holding me feels so peace and natural. It was pure bliss.
"Here we are" Robins voice broke me out of my thoughts. He very sweetly held the door open for me. I smiled at him and curtsied, "Why thank you sir." He laughed. I loved making him laugh.
I looked up and sighed happily at the heavenly smell inside the warm store. Together we walked up and asked for a meat lovers pizza, pepperoni pizza and a special vegan vegetable pizza for BB. The cashier was lovely, he treated us like normal people and didn't make a big deal out of the fact that two of the teen titans had come in.
The people of Jump city were always very good to us. Either they were very good at hiding it, or they were so used to seeing the titans around the city that they didn't get over excited or aggressive when they see us in a day to day setting, like they did back in Gotham. Compared to Gotham, Jump city was a whole other world.
As we waited for the pizzas, we moved back in the dim corner of the shop, I noticed Robin had manoeuvred his arm back around me, I felt my cheeks warm up. I leaned my head against him once more and wrapped my arms around him too. He squeezed me lightly in response and we stayed like that for a while in a comfortable silence, simply enjoying the peace and quiet of the little, empty shop.
"Its times like this that I wish we weren't heroes..." I confess to him quietly.
I watched as he removed one arm from around me and softly touched my cheek to lift my head to face him. His curious gaze met mine. "What make you say that?" He asked in a hushed tones, as our faces were only inches apart.
I whispered back, "Because if we weren't heroes.." It was always easy being honest with him, "then we could just run away. You and me. Nothing to worry about. Nothing to loose. We could be laying on a beach one day and exloring europe the next.. We could be anyone we wanted to be. No responsabilities... We could just go for good" I smiled at the thought
I snaped back to reality when I felt him rest his forhead on mine, he had a soft smile on his face and pulled me close, "I think you'd miss this kind of life, you love being a hero and protecting people. Although, I can't think of anything better than running away with you... Its nice to know you think of spending forever with me" Is he flirting?
Two can play at that game... "Well its nice to know that you be willing to come along with me. Clearly you wanna be alone with me badly" I wink and seeing his cheeks turn red, I giggle.
"So what if I do?" I had no reply for that, my silver eyes went wide and he grins in triumph, "You havn't disagreed."
I laugh and bury my face in his neck. Actions are louder than words. I kissed his jaw and paused to gauge his reaction.
He froze. I felt like my heart had stopped.
"PIZZAS READY!"
How awkward..
I quickly forced myself out of our embrace and quickly moved away to collect the pizzas. I threw a smile at the worker and thanked him, before turning around to head for the exit, where Robin was waiting with the door open for me.
I muttered a 'thanks' and headed outside. I shook at the sudden shift in temperature and as soon as I sensed Robin at my side, I started walking home. "Spark.. wait.. I didnt mean to-"
"Dont worry! I wont kiss you again. I didnt think you'd take it so seriously, I was just kidding! Seriously lets just forget about it ok? Pretend it never happened" I forced a smile on my face and looked to him, only to see he stopped walking. "Robin?"
"Alright. Lets just forget about it. Actually lets just pretend that our whole converstaion ever happened! It was all just a joke right." He walked off ahead of me and I tried to catch up but he was fast when he wanted to be, so I settled with walking behind him..
"Robin!"
"Just drop it."
My heart sunk. Well this wasnt how I thought tonight would end.
Beast Boy POV
We were all sitting in the main room, Rae was meditating in the corner, Star was playing a video game against Cy and she was failing badly, I smirked watching as her characters head exploded again.
Bang!
We all stood up to see who just entered the tower, and I was shocked to see Robin looking rather distracted. "Robin you have returned!" Starfire flew over "are you alright?" She reached out to him and I shared a look with Cyborg when he stepped away from her and snapped that hes fine.
The door opened again, to reveal Sparkbomb holding the pizzas, "Sparky you've got the food! That makes you my favourite person ever!" I ran over to take the pizzas, but notcied she was starring at Robin. Trouble in paradise...
"Spark... you alright..?" I asked quietly, unsure of who was looking from behind me.
"Im fine, BB" she flashed me a smile and returned her gaze to the leader behind me. I turned to see him looking back at her.. Awkward..
"Green Bean! Gimme the pizza! Im wasting away over here!" Cyborg had a talent for causing a distraction.
I took the bag off Spark and gestured for her to follow me over to the sofa. Starfire retreated away too.
After putting the pizzas on the table, all of us but Robin were settled. Spark was next to me and Cy was on my left, on his left was Starfire, then Raven. Robin did make his way over but he just took some pizza and left. "Why is friend Robin upset?" Starfire questioned, looking over to Spark.
"Sorry guys... I think im going to head to bed.." Just like that she got up and left.
"Should I go after her?" I asked to whoever was listening
"Shes had a hell of a day man, just leave her be for tonight." I nodded, Cyborg was right.
