Chapter 18: Alphabetic Love
Well, I've seen lots of these alphabetic drabbles, so I thought I'd give it a whirl using Robin and Starfire.
Apple
It had taken Robin well over an hour to convince Starfire that an apple would not put her in an enchanted comatose state a week after watching Snow White, affection lacing his voice the entire time he talked to his friend.
Bravery
He smiled ruefully as he ran a hand over the blue eagle newly emblazoned onto his costume. She had stated that blue suited him best because it represented both bravery and justice and that he was a perfect embodiment of those aspects.
Carrots
His mother used to encourage him to eat carrots for the nutrients would make his sight sharper and his eyes brighter. Robin knew that Starfire would never need the nutrients because he highly doubted that anything in the world could make those limpid emeralds brighter than they already were.
Delicate
Even though she reveled in the feelings coursing through her every time Robin caught her, when it came to her naiveté on the knowledge of Earth's culture, she wished that he wouldn't treat her as if her emotions were spun of delicate glass.
Effervescent
Time after time reporters had asked the leader of the Teen Titans if there could be one word to sum up the Tamaranian Princess's overall being, what would he choose. Time after time Robin had proudly stated effervescent.
Falling
Starfire wasn't sure if the first time she had began falling for Robin was the morning after Blackfire's visit to Titans Tower when he sought her out on the roof, wanting to make sure she was okay offering words of comfort and reassurance, deeply touched when he said that no one could ever take her place. His gentle smile was infectious and immediately she smiled in return. Perhaps it was the time all five of the Teen Titans had journeyed to her home planet with the intention of celebrating her wedding. Well, that had been her plan, even after seeing her future groom's visage. Yet those plans had flown out of the proverbial window when Robin had painstakingly climbed up the tower wall to her balcony, holding out her hand ready to whisk her away.
And despite her refusing his offer, Robin still fought with everything he had to make sure she didn't go through with saying "I do" at the alter. Upon hearing him call out her name, she had happily said "I do not."
Whether it was because of her elder sister's visit, or because of nearly marrying and leaving the Titans forever, Starfire knew one thing was for sure. She had fallen for Robin, hard and fast.
There'll be more to come very soon! Reviews are awesome!
