Chapter 28: Venom,

She's only trying to help, I kept telling myself. She's doing this for the sake of the team…somehow. But watching as Star's lips caressed that Japanese boy's lips was killing me. Her eyes were closed, whether that was from enjoyment or a natural reaction to a kiss, I wasn't sure. The rational side of my mind was forcing me to agree with the latter conclusion, but the rest of my mind was so focused on Starfire kissing that boy.

His eyes were wide with shock like mine, but that was the only thing we had in common. He didn't feel that slightly pleasant warmth as a jealous fury caressed my veins. I found it hard to fight my inner beast and had to swallow that bitter venomous taste that flooded my mouth. I clapped one hand over the other in an attempt to resist the pulses radiating through me, begging to leap over to Starfire and take her into my arms, kissing her senseless.

When the two parted, I caught a spark of affection and lust being born into the boy's eyes. I felt my feet shift, my whole being raring to attack. Yet when Star turned toward us, emerald eyes shimmering with innocence, I felt my anger erode, a calm suffusing my soul. I asked her why she kissed him, trying to keep the contempt out of my voice. As I listened to her answer and Cyborg's response, I realized Starfire could learn any language through a kiss.

Great.


I never really got to play around with Robin's jealous side. Sure, this isn't much, but I like it. I might have one more up later tonight if there's time.
