Ok, sorry bout the delay. I feel like someones jammed a buzzsaw through my throat then poured lemon juice into it. I'll try to get 2 chapters done today.
Also thank you for the lovely reviews, I appreciate every kind word.
Disclaimer; Surprise surprise, I dont own the Teen Titans. But enjoy the story anyway.
The T-car whizzed through the streets, with civilians desperate to see the titans inside. Robin kept his head down, stelaing occasional glances at the beautiful alien next to him. 'Ok' he thought 'I should really say something. What would Star like to hear? Shes nice? Nah, too subtle. Shes gorgeous? Nah, not subtle enough. Come on, Richard, THINK!'
"Friend Robin?"
Robin was snapped out of his awkward thoughts by her voice. Her sweet, silky, tender voice. Blushing crazily, he turned to face her.
"I have been having....feelings for some time now. On my planet, feelings such as these are saved for our glorghurgs on the day of hoshiana" (dont look that up, its not real tamaranean. Hoshia Na actually means 'Deliver us' in hebrew. See, you learnt something! Now, back to the story.....)
Robin tried to keep calm. In Starfire language, he thought she was admitting to...liking him. "Er...whats a glorghurg?" He asked, desperate to confirm his suspicions.
Starfire turned to him, her eyes shining hopefully. 'Maybe NOW Robin will understand how I truly feel.'
"A glorgurg is the one person a tamareanean can share everything with. A girl often cannot live without her glorghurg, because he will mean so much to her. On the day of hoshiana, the two are bound together for all eternity. I beleive on your planet, the closest thing is a 'wedding'."
Robin almost crashed the car into a ditch. Starfire just said she felt for him like he was her HUSBAND?!? Wow!
He desperately tried to think of something to say, but he was reeling from what he'd just heard. Starfire stared at him expectantly. What should he say? What should he do?......
"Er...Star......we work together well in the team, right? And you know I'll always be your friend?"
Starfire stared at him, willing him to continue. In his head, he was screaming. He just wanted to hold her, kiss her, be close to her. But he was so afraid of rejection, terrified in fact. He drove in silence, thinking desperately of how he should deal with this.
"Yes Robin?" Starfire urged.
His nerve vanished. 'Who am I kidding? She doesn't like me like that! She was just telling me I was her friend!'
"Thats it Star, I'll always be your friend." He said, focusing all his attention on the road.
Starfire looked down at her hands, confused. 'He does not return the feelings? Will I ever be more than just a friend to him?'
"Am I....not pretty enough?" Starfire muttered. Robin wanted a hole to open up and swallow him, he did NOT know how to deal with an emotional girl.
"No Star, I think you're bea.....pretty." He muttered. He turned to see her eyes begin to glow.
"Is it that you think friend Raven is prettier?" She growled.
"NO!!Er...er....we're here!" He cried cheerfully. Starfire stormed out of the car, her eyes still glowing a threatening green. Robin smacked his hand to his head. Who knew love could be such a minefield?
They saw Raven and Beast Boy waiting outside, arms around each other, laughing. Robin sighed. That was the kind of thing he wanted with Star.
"Hey guys, you took your time!" Beast Boy yelled cheerfully. Raven rolled her eyes and elbowed him in the ribs. She saw Starfire walking over, looking menacingly at her. 'Oh crap, shes mad at ME!' Raven thought, her empathic abilities letting her see the source of Starfire's rage.
"K'actar sinka rouw..." Starfire muttered, walking straight past them. Raven scowled.
"Super. I annoyed the princess without saying a word. I just love it when I do that." Raven said, watching a depressed Robin walk past.
Beast Boy sighed and took her hand. "Guess leaving them alone wasn't such a cool idea. Come on, lets get them into a movie. I'll comfort Rob, you take Starfire. Try not to annoy her again though, darling, we dont wont green starbolts ruining the movie."
They walked behind the broken no-more-than-friends couple, wondering how they were gonna get the two together. Maybe a horror film would bring them together.....
Hehehe, thought I'd skip straight to the movie, huh? And pass up the chance for all that awkwardness? And now Starfires real mad at Raven, just cause shes jealous. Cool huh? Ok, next chapter hopefully up in a couple of hours. But im really tired, so itll probably be tomorrow.
