They squeezed in the back seat, the girls half sat on their date's lap. Cyborg and Bumble Bee shared devious looks and laughed softly. He held her hand throughout the whole drive to the ball.
Once there, the Titans approached two grand doors along with two built body guards. "Tickets?" they asked. The Titans, unaware of such invitations stared at Beast Boy. He pulled on his shirt collar.
"I know I have it with me somewhere…" he checked everywhere: his coat pocket, inside his jacket, his pants. He started sweating when he couldn't find it. The guards exchanged each other a look and guffawed. The Titans stopped to stare at the guards surprised.
"Don't you worry, we already got that covered," one guard said as he wiped a tear off his eye.
"We've been expecting you," the other said, "please come in." He pulled the door open to allow the heroes entrance. Beast Boy sighed in relief. When he had passed by them, the guards slapped his back. "Sorry, we couldn't resist."
"But we got ya covered," the other finished. Beat Boy smiled and released a shaky laugh.
"Good one guys." They nodded and the Titans came face to face with a grand stair case that led to a magnificent foyer. The room appeared gold with soft velvet decorations. The diamond chandelier glistened in the light, covering the room with colorful, diamond shaped stars. The Titan stared in awe at the beautiful sight before them before escorting the girls down the stairs. Several teens from the room stopped to gaze at their teen heroes, jubilant to see that they have actually attended the event.
Cyborg and Bumble Bee was the first couple walking down. Bumble Bee wore a long honey colored dress with cuts on each side from mid thigh to her ankles. She topped it off with black stilettos that matched her spiral earrings and bracelet. Cyborg wore a matching honey colored tie. Together, they created a warm glow in the room. The crowd awed.
The infamous couple went next. Starfire in her fuchsia dress while Robin in his indigo dress shirt, and matching black jacket and dress pants attire. Several teens were left heart broken, but managed to hide it with applause and several 'awws'.
The last couple caught everyone off guard. Raven in her stunning once-in-a-lifetime lavender dress and Beast Boy in his tuxedo. Who knew opposites could attract? They looked like a reincarnated Beauty and the Beast, except the spell had been lifted.
"It is an honor to have Jump City's town heroes attend such an occasion," the MC announced, "the Teen Titans! Shall we give them a round of applause?" The crowed applauded happily. Some heroes blushed while others waved their thanks. "Please enjoy the food before we start our special dance performance." The MC disappeared above the stair case to another room.
"Can't wait to see it!" Cyborg said cheekily.
"Whoever they are, they must be brave to dance in this packed room," Robin agreed.
"Umm… Robin?" Starfire asked.
"Yeah, Star?"
"You are aware that-"
"Man I could use some food!" Cyborg interrupted. He grabbed Starfire's arm and pulled her away.
"Eep!" she squeaked as they made their way to the line. Robin stared in confusion, sensing that something was going on. But he shrugged it off for now. The others followed after Cyborg and Starfire to a long line that led to a table with various foods.
"And I thought they'd be serving us," Beast Boy commented.
"We were given feet for a reason," Raven deadpanned.
Bumble Bee snorted, "Ya'll know who the dancers are?"
"Of course."
"Yeah."
"Got the tape?" she asked.
"Cy's got a built-in cam on his arm. No way will we ever miss this!" the changeling replied excitedly.
"Whoopty-doo," the empathy added in her usual sarcasm.
"Cyborg, why have you not inform Robin that we are the performers of the special? I believe the announcer has already informed him of the surprise," the alien asked.
"Trust me girl, it's way better that he doesn't know until it actually happens."
"But Robin will not be happy about this. Especially if he does not know of the dance," Starfire replied worriedly.
"Trust me, Star. Robin knows how to dance… especially to this song," he smirked deviously, "ya practiced it right?"
"Well, I do know this type of dance…" she replied. The two received food and made their way back to the table that was closest to the orchestra. "May we practice? I believe I am the rusty."
Cyborg chuckled, "Of course, princess." They dropped their food off at the table and Cyborg offered his hand to the girl. She obliged and took his hand to the dance floor. The orchestra performed a sweet, catchy, melody that was perfect for their dance. They exchanged laughs and smiles, enjoying the little dance between brother and sister.
Returning from the line, Robin arched an eyebrow at his team mate dancing with his girl. A vein pulsed visibly on his head. It wasn't the type of jealousy that he had when another guy was with the girl he liked, he already knew that they had a sibling bond, but it was the type of jealousy he gets when he can't do something bold as what Cyborg was doing.
Bumble Bee caught his stare and chuckled behind. "Well I'll be, don't they make a cute family?" They sat on their chairs while they watched the happy siblings dance and twirl.
He whispered something to the girl's ear and she blushed but nodded. He spun her around, pulled her away, and pulled her back in and ended the dance by catching her as she dropped to the floor, a dramatic dip. The teens applauded as well as the Titans.
The two walked to the table smiling. "That was glorious, Cyborg! I did not know you have the moves!"
Cyborg chuckled and patted her head, "Back at ya sis."
"So was that the main dance?" Robin asked.
"Nope, you'll have to wait for the MC on that one," Cyborg grinned, "you're gonna love it."
A half hour later, the MC returned along with a microphone.
"Alright, may I have everyone's attention, please?" The teens' conversation grew softer, eventually silent. "Now may I present to you a spread performance before opening the dance floor, or skip to the dance?"
The crowd roared, "Special dance!" Several times to the MC. "Alright then, let us start our special performance with none other one of our heroes themselves!"
The crowd clapped furiously. Some teens jumped off their seats to take pictures as well as a camera, while majority stayed in their seats. In this case, Cyborg and Beast Boy were already off their seats with the built-in camera from Cyborg's arm.
The lights dimmed and two spotlights moved about the walls as the sounds of clacking heels approached the orchestra. Her back was turned to the audience as the piano started the song off followed by the beat, trumpets, and the rest of the band. Robin searched for Starfire throughout the act, only to find her seat empty.
"When marimba rhythm starts to play, dance with me, make me sway…" the lights focused on the singer, illuminating her red hair and fuchsia dress. She turned and continued to sing. "Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore, hold me close, sway me more." She was approaching a flabbergasted Robin, who wasn't far away, and continued to hypnotize him with her soft, seductive voice. "Like a flower bending in the breeze, bend with me, sway with ease," she coaxed as she circled his chair. "When you dance you have a way with me, stay with me, sway with me…" the song stopped when she extended her hand to Robin. The teens went wild, as the band waited for the boy's response.
The boy wonder stared at his best friend with shock written all over his feature. Then he flashed her with one of his half grins and took her hand. Starfire tossed the microphone back to the main singer and offered him a smile as a thank you. Robin escorted her to the middle of the ball room and waited for the singer to continue singing.
Other dancers may be on the floor.
Dear, but my eyes will see only you.
Only you have that magic technique
When we sway, I grow weak!
Robin had one hand with Starfire's, the other on her back. Same vice versa, but her other hand was on his arm. They were doing the cha-cha steps into each other for several seconds before ending the section with Starfire leaning back, kicking one foot in the air, while Robin supported one hand on her extended leg and the other her back.
I can hear the sound of violins.
Long before it begins.
Make me thrill as only you know how,
Sway me smooth, sway me now.
Afterwards, he set her down and they backed away from one another to mimic one another's moves like a line dance. When the interval played, they re-approached one another to dance the cha-cha. Occasionally, they grabbed each other's hand, one that stayed intact while the other hand pulled away along with their body to strike a pose and back again. By the end of the interval, Robin grabbed her hand and spun her outwards, their arms extended but still intact.
Other dancers may be on the floor.
Dear, but my eyes will see only you.
Only you have that magic technique.
When we sway, I grow weak!
Next, he spun her towards him and released her hand once her arms were on his chest. He bent down, his right hand swooped her slender legs while the other supported her back. As soon as Starfire realized what he was doing, she had her arms wrapped around his neck securely. By the time the song hit the interval, they exchanged content smiles as he spun both of them for several seconds before the singer sang the next stanza.
I can hear the sound of violins.
Long before it begins.
Make me thrill as though you know how,
Sway me smooth, sway me now.
Once Robin had set her feet on the ground, he brought his hands over hers and whispered in her ear a quick instruction. She had her back on his chest, her arms crossed in front of her gripping her right to his left hand and her left to his right as if she was imprisoned. Then they swayed their pelvis against each other, while Starfire slowly grinding downwards then back up. This earned them several shouts of excitement.
When marimbas rhythm start to play,
Dance with me, make me sway.
Like lazy ocean hugs the shore,
Hold me close, sway me more.
Robin's freed one of his hands and pressed her back to move forward, signaling her to spin out of his embrace. He held her left hand while she extended the other one and moved it fluidly in the air as she danced backwards and led the way, their body swaying to the rhythm of the song. When she turned back to face him, Robin released her hand and spun her half way counter clockwise towards him. He had spread his legs apart and prepared to catch Starfire's arms with his wrists. Robin made sure that he made a little room for Starfire so when her back was facing his chest he caught her as she did the splits right when the music stopped.
Like a flower bending in the breeze,
Bend with me, sway with ease.
When we dance you have a way with me,
Stay with me, sway with me.
Robin pulled her up when the song resumed. He slid his hands over her bare shoulders to her waist. Starfire jumped up in the air when she realized that he wanted to lift her up. Starfire was lifted over Robin's head, her back arched with her arms extended to the side of her head. Out of habit, one of her legs were pulled up while the other was straight, creating a number four with her legs dangling over Robin's chest.
When marimba rhythms start to play,
Hold me close, make me sway!
Like an ocean hugs the shore,
Hold me close, sway me more.
Like a flower bending in the breeze,
Bend with me, sway with me.
When we dance you have a way with me,
Stay with me, sway with me!
Once Robin had set her down, Starfire and he spread their fingers apart. Starfire, with two arms, brought it over her face like an x then pulled them downwards only to extend her right arm above her shoulders, while the other reaching out to Robin's. Robin had his left arm stretched out like Starfire's, while the other grabbed for her left hand. He pulled her close to him and grabbed her other hand so they were back in their first position like the very beginning of their dance. They repeated the move by doing the cha-cha steps into each other. For their finale, Robin's left hand held Starfire's right and spun her once before letting go. They switched hands so she could hold his right with her left hand and continued spinning with one of her feet used as leverage to transition from one foot to the next. By the second to the last sentence of the song, they stopped, their feet pointed against each other and free arms extended in the air. He spun her back to him and released her hand. By the end of the song, Starfire had her right arm over Robin's shoulder while the other extended behind her. Her right foot was planted in front of Robin's shoe while her other leg landed on Robin's right thigh. Robin's left hand supported her small waist while the other held on to her left thigh. Their faces were so close to another that their noses touched.
The audience went wild with their applauses. They lost themselves within each other's eyes and shared glowing smirks.
"Once more give it up for Robin and Starfire!" the MC announced. He applauded along with the audience, louder than before.
Robin escorted Starfire to their seats. "Wow, Star… Where did you learn how to do something like that?" he asked.
She giggled, "If you are speaking of the dancing, I had learned from Tamaran, but Cyborg had shown me some of the cool moves from a video."
"Wow… how long have you practiced it?" he asked.
"I believe it was several weeks back. At the time, I did not know the purpose of it. He has only informed me that it would be helpful for future reference."
"I mean he showed me the video a while back, but I didn't expect that you would do it!" Robin agreed. "It's as if they had this all set up."
"Agreed. But Robin, may I ask where you have learned how to dance like this aside from the video of dance?"
"My mentor. He refused to train me martial arts unless I knew a thing or two about dancing. I'll be honest, I'm glad he got me to do it after all," his smile widened.
"Haha! I told ya man! I knew you'd enjoy it!" Cyborg roared.
"So you planned everything from the start?" Robin crossed his arms, a grin on his face.
"We," Bumble Bee interjected, her arms wrapped around Cyborg's arm.
Robin's eyes slightly twitched at the couple. He was torn between yelling at them or thanking them for the push. He settled for the latter. He offered them a silent thank you through a nod and a smile. They returned the gesture to him. Robin took Starfire to the stairs and walked to a secluded area, the balcony. The balcony was a story higher than the ground floor, located to the far left side of the room from the grand entrance. "Where are you taking me, Robin?" Starfire asked along the way.
"Somewhere that'll take your breath away." Finally they were at the balcony. Like Robin said, it was breath taking. The city lights winked at the couple, as if sending them encouragement to do what they had to do.
Robin rubbed the back of his neck, attempting to cool down the heat. Starfire was too engulfed at the sight before her to even notice his nervous action. "Um, Starfire," Robin stated.
"Yes, Robin," the princess replied, her eyes focused on him.
"You know that… you are very important to me, right?"
"Of course, Robin. You are also very important to me as well."
I may have a chance! He thought happily. But at the back of his head, his pessimism cried out for him to discontinue. It's now or never, he sighed. "I have a confession to make."
"Hmm? And what may it be?" the girl asked. Her heart raced with hope.
"Starfire… I… I…" Robin mumbled. He was unaware that their faces were inching closer to one another since he lost himself in her emerald pool eyes. Robin's heart raced, their nose was touching but stopped. He was afraid that she would reject him. He stared at her lips then her eyes and back again.
Starfire's heart fluttered also nervous and scared. But she gave into it by closing her eyes. She slightly opened her mouth and waited for him to continue.
Robin took the chance and pressed his lips against her soft ones. He kissed her softly and she slowly responded back. He pulled away breathless before pulling back to recapture her lips. His arms snaked around her waist and pulled her closer. Starfire responded fervently and ran her fingers through his ebony locks. The kiss was deepen into a passionate one then pulled away from one another, both breathing heavily and faces red.
"I love you Starfire," Robin said.
"And I love you as well, Robin," she replied sweetly. They exchanged warm content smiles. Robin still had one arm around her waist as they turned to gaze at the city. She leaned into him and nuzzled her head on his neck, finally feeling safe and content.
Cyborg and Beast Boy ran down from the grand stairs laughing boisterously amongst themselves.
"Yeah-ha!" Cyborg slapped five with the green teen, "we got 'em!"
"Dude! They were all over each other!" Beast Boy laughed as they made their way to their table.
"Ya owe me twenty bucks!" Cyborg drew out his hand, asking for his money. "I told ya they'd be together by tonight!"
"Aww man," Beast Boy whined as he dug for his wallet and fished out his twenty bucks.
"Now s'all left is you and Rae, B," Cyborg whispered to him.
"N-no way! I don't see her like that!" Beast Boy exclaimed.
"C'mon, B! You do! It's as obvious as Star and Rob!" he chuckled.
Then Say You'll Never Go played. Cyborg wiggled his eyebrows as he said, "Excuse me, B. But I got a lady to woo." Cyborg approached Bumble Bee and offered his hand and escorted her to the dance floor with other couples.
Robin and Starfire appeared hand in hand as they made their way from the grand stair case and into the crowd as well.
Beast Boy stared at the bored girl before him, admiring her beauty once more before pulling on his collar. He appeared her carefully.
"H-hey, Rae."
"It's Raven," she sighed, "what is it Beast Boy?" She was not happy.
"I was wondering if you wanted to-"
"No," she immediately responded.
"But I didn't get to finish what I was about to say," Beast Boy said.
"I don't want to dance. It's not my thing," she replied.
"C'mon Rae-ven."
She glared at him, "Nice save."
"Raven, please give me a chance," Beast Boy offered his hand to her.
Raven stared at his hand, unwilling to take it.
"What do I have to do to get you to dance with me," he asked, unwilling to accept defeat. Before she could answer, Beast Boy ran up to the singer and took the microphone. "Raven, give me a chance please."
All teens stopped what they were doing and stared at Beast Boy then to Raven and back.
Beast Boy looked at the singer and asked, "Hey dude what's the next part?" the singer whispered it to him and exchange nods.
In his cracky voice he sang, "How can I make my dreams come true without you?" the band started to play along at his pace. "You are the one that gives love to me. You are my fantasy. I can't live out on my own and forget the love you've always shown. And accept the fact of my condition, please don't ever go. For I can't live my life alone." Beast Boy tossed the microphone back to the singer and put his hand on his shoulder as a thank you, without taking his eyes off Raven.
She stared at him, stupefied while the teens cheered. He offered his hand to her again and this time she took it. All eyes were on them as they made their way to the center of the dance floor.
"Thanks Rae-ven," he said when she glared. Her violet eyes quickly softened. "Wow, you know that you have beautiful eyes?"
"Beast Boy, don't ever do that again," she said, ignoring his compliment.
"C'mon Rae, you know you liked it!" he teased.
Raven sighed, but she let him slide with his nickname for her. Her sour mood was getting better. "I can't dance," she mumbled.
"Well lucky for you, I'm an expert at dancing!" he huffed proudly.
She rolled her eyes as he chuckled softly and led her to a waltz. Occasionally, he threw in some spins and dips. She stared at him wide-eyed.
"You weren't kidding," she replied.
"Rita refused to let me live my life without learning at least one dance."
"I'm impressed."
"Hey, Raven…"
"Yes, Beast Boy?" she asked.
"Um, Rae… I wasn't kidding about the lyrics of the song…" She arched her eye brow at him. "I meant them. I love you. If you just give me a chance. I'll show you what love is really like. I'll protect you, I'll show you how to have fun, not that you're boring or anything. I just don't want you to feel as if no one appreciates you. You don't need to be alone anymore." Dumbstruck, Raven's eyes shimmered as tears slowly ran down her face. "Raven, please give me a chance." She leaned on his chest as a couple more tears trickled down her face. He dropped his hand and wiped her tears away. "Will you give me a chance?"
"I'll give you a chance," she said.
"Really?" Beast Boy asked bewildered. She nodded. He was smiling from ear to ear as he yelled, "YES!" Beast Boy pulled her into the air and spun her. As a result, gained everyone's attention.
Once he had set her down, she moved her arms around his neck. It appeared that she was hugging him, when actually she was choking him with her arms. "You're too loud," she deadpanned. Everyone turned away, afraid that she would kill anyone who was looking at them.
"I don't care, because you're mine now!" he chuckled and coughed, once she released him from her firm head lock. "Dude, I'm so happy that I could…"
"That you could-" Raven was cut off by a tender kiss. He pulled back quickly.
"That I could kiss you," he finished, blushing.
"I'll get back to you on that," she smiled, a shy small smile. She kissed him back, a quick tender one as well.
"Raven!" he gasped. "I can't believe it! Dude we could totally make out now!"
"We're having a moment. Don't push it."
"Haha, right," he replied, "we have all the time in the world."
Say you'll never go... Say you'll never go... Say you'll never go away...
