*A/N Like in the previous chapter, I switch from BB's POV to Star's POV.*

Beast Boy x Starfire

"Star, it's okay." I tried to consol her.

"No it is not Beast Boy." she said, crossing her arms over her chest.

I took her hands and uncrossed her arms, but she looked away.

"Star, look at me." I said softly.

She looked up at me, "Starfire, you are the strongest girl I know. You're confident and beautiful. Just beacause Robin doesn't want you, doesn't mean other people don't want you. I know I want you Star." Did I say that last part out loud?

"Beast Boy?" she inquired.

"Yes Star?"

She hugged me, "Thank you," was all she whispered.

"If you need someone to talk to or a shoulder to cry on, you know where to find me." I told her honestly.

We walked down the hall in silence.

'Dude, Robin really hurt her.' I thought to myself. We stopped at her door.

"Thank you again for your assistance Friend Beast Boy." she said, her eyes gleaming with tears.

"You are most welcome Star." I told her, smiling.

She walked into her room and I sighed. I started down the hall and passed a wet haired, black wife beater, Batman boxer wearing Robin. How come he was the only on the team that could rock that casual look? I wanted to ask him why he hurt Star, but that would start a fight and most likely bring Star out here.

I continued to my room and collasped onto my bed. Today's events were mentally exhausting. Raven's getting married, Blackfire randomly showed up, Slade's gay, Robin broke Star's heart, and now I'm falling for her. What else was there that I didn't know about?

I must have dosed off because I heard Star's voice on the other side of my door.

"Friend Beast Boy, I need to speak with you."

I got up and answered the door. I heard rain drumming off the top of the tower. I opened the door to Star's tearful face.

"What's wrong Star?" I asked, motioning for her to come into my room.

My room was a train wreck. Clothes were on the floor, books were scattered around, and disheswere just lying about. She floated into the room and sat on the bed. Lightning lit up my room and thunder crashed like drums. She screamed and hid under my covers.

"Star, are you scared of lightning?"

The bumb under the covers nodded. I closed the door and went over to the bed.

"What do you usually do when storms are bad?" I asked, placing a hand on the bump.

"I turn on the radio or box of moving pictures to drown it out and if the power is out, I would go talk to Robin. The power is out but I am... uncomfortable soeaking to Robin at the moment."

Her hear poked out from underneath the covers and I smiled.

"You have me to talk to Star."

She crawled over to me and placed her head on my lap. I stroked her hair absent mindedly.

"It's okay. Don't worry about a thing. Remember that we beat Thunder and Lightning's incarnations a while back when we were still battling Slade. When a storm scares you, think of them. They became our friends and won't hurt us." I told her. "I'll sleep on the top bunk, so try to get some sleep."

I climbed to the top and began shoving all the junk on the bed into the floor. Star giggled when she saw all the stuff that had formerly been on my bed.

"Oh yeah," I said, leaning down over the side to look at her, "ignore the smell please. Dude, I seriously need to clean."

Star,looking much calmer, curled up and went to sleep.

'Oh boy, this is going to be interesting in the morning.'

I awoke to a green color scheme.

"Friend Beast Boy, are you awake?" I asked, floating up to view the upper bed bunk.

Beast Boy was breathing deeply and drooling slightly. He had grown in the years we had known each other, both physically and mentally. He was in desperate need of a hair cut. His hair hung to his shoulders. It was not oily or anything, he took regular baths.

'I wonder how soft it is.' I thought, reaching out to touch the dark strands. The strands wre soft and smooth. They felt like silk sliding between my fingers.

Beast Boy stirred and began to wake up.

"Good morning Friend Beast Boy." I said.

"Dude!" he said, sitting up quickly and slamming his head into the ceiling.

"Ohhhh duuuuude, that hurt." he moaned, cradling his head and rolling over.

"Are you okay?" I asked, worried.

"Was I drooling and how long were you starring at me?"

"Yes you drooled and I was only watching for a minute or so." I replied.

"Hey BB, have you seen Staarr?" Cyborg trailed off after bardging in.

"Hello Friend Cyborg, how are you this glorious morning?" I asked, going over to hug him.

"Thank you for your assistance last night Friend Beast Boy" I said, turning red as I surveyed Cyborg's face. I quickly flew out of the room and went back to my own. I gathered my clothes for the day and floated to the bathroom.

'Was Beast Boy my friend or something... more?' I pondered, working my hair into a rich lather under the warm pounding spray. I let the water wash away all my negative emotions of the last few days. Something brushed my leg suddenly.

"Ahhh!" I screamed, startled, accidently breaking the shower head with my strength which caused it to spray water into the floor.

"Are you okay?" Beast oy asked from behind the closed door.

"Yes Friend Beast Boy. I simply broke the water sprayer when Silkie startled me." I responded.

"Well turn off the water and come out. Cyborg is out so I'll try to fix it." I heard him say.

I got dressed after towelling off.

"Friend Beast Boy?" I asked, opening the door.

"Yeah," I heard the response to my right. His hair was held back by a band, which caused his bangs to be moved back over his head. He had changed into a black muscle shirt and a pair of blue jean shorts. He was carrying a tool box in his right hand and a bunch of towels held against his hip.

"Can you grab the towels and start drying up the water?"

"Yes," I said remorsefully, reaching for the towels.

I felt him touch my arm. I looked up into his eyes. My breath still, he looked so serious.

"Don't worry Star. Things break but they can usually be fixed or mended."

I had the feeling he wasn't just talking about the water spraying shower head anymore.

"Thanks," I said, smiling slightly. "Let me get those towels." I said, grabbing them.

For the next few hours, we worked diligently.

"I'm hungry. Let's order a pizza Star." he said, gathering up his tools.

"Can we have cotton candy on it?" I asked.

"No," he said, " but I'll tell you where Cyborg hid the mustard."

I smiled, "This is almost as fun as Tibbling Snarklong," I said, giggling and floating down the hall to the phone.

"What's Tibbling Snarklong?" he asked, following me.

I giggled, "I'll tell you later... maybe."

"Starfire, that's mean."

We order a vegetarian pizza and ate it, engaging in idle chit-chat. I picked up a letter and read the address.

"Beast Boy, where is the Watchtower and who is Batman and Martian Manhunter?"

"Why do you ask Star?" He was throwing away the empty pizza boxes and mustard jars.

"There is a letter for you from them." I said, floating over to hand him the letter. He opened it and read it aloud.

"This is amazing dude! I can't believe they picked me!" he said, clearly excited. He ran to the phone and paused. He turned to look at me, clearly troubled. "Star, would you be okay without me?"

"I will be fine Friend Beast Boy. This is an amazing oppurtunity for you." I said.

He was so excited, how could I not reassure him? After I said this, he turned around and started dialing. A feeling of unbearable lonliness invaded my heart at the thought of him leaving. It was not quite the same as the pain I felt at Robin's rejection but nor was it like the pain it would be if it was one of my other friends.

"Hey guys, what's up?" Cyborg asked, followed into the room by my beloved sister, Raven, and Zelda. Robin came in from the other door to go sit on the couch. They all purched comfortably around the rom. I looked over to Beast Boy and he motioned for me to release the feline from its bondage.

"Beast Boy is leaving us for a while to go train at the Watchtower with Batman and the Martain Manhunter." I explained.

Raven and Zelda looked a bit upset, Robin was so strartled that he fell from the couch, and Cyborg and Blackfire looked happy.

"Booyah BB. That's amazing." Cyborg congradulated him once he was off the phone. I swore I heard my sister mumur happily about something like staying away from me.

"Did you accept this in an attempt to avoid coming to the wedding?" Zelda asked, upset that she might have caused a rift in our friendships.

"I'll be back in time for the wedding though I may be a bit late. And no I am not doing this to escape." Beast Boy said, rolling his eyes and playfully grinning. The next few days were good-byes and a flurry of packing.

"Beast Boy?" I called his name quietly. I was leaning against his doorframe and I really needed to ask him something.

He looked up at me with sad eyes. My heart felt like it had stopped for a brief moment. I reached out and layed a hand on his cheek. He took my hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.

"I'm sorry Star." he said sadly.

"What is it that you are apologizing for?" I asked, sitting down on his bottom bed.

"I don't want to leave you alone with Robin. I know it's only been a few days since you guys broke up. I'm not sure who you can talk to when I'm gone. Raven has been spending a lot of time with Zelda and Cyborg is in and out with your sister." he mumbled.

"I will be ok Beast Boy. If I may, could I write to you?"

His face brightened at the suggestion.

"That would be awesome Star!" He ran over and higged me.

I was surprised. I layed my head on his shoulder. He smelt just like Robin. My breath caught and I couldn't stop the tears that fell down my cheeks.

"Star?" he whispered.

He pulled me back and wiped the tears from my face. He smiled slightly and I curled up against him. I felt his arm slide behind my back and wrap itself around my waist. I rested my head on his chest and closed my eyes.

"Starfire," he whispered my name into my ear.

I shivered and felt goosebumps crawl their way onto my arms. I looked up into his eyes. He had very pretty eyes. 'Is he my friend or something more?' I questioned myself again. My heart started beating rapidly and I felt the feeling others call butterflies in the stomach. Robin never made me feel this way.

He leaned down slightly and brushed his lips against mine. He pulled back only slightly, waiting, and he seemed to want my permission. I closed the small gap between us and returned the light brush of lips. I felt my instincts take over. My arms went around his neck and my left leg went over his lap. His hands traced small circles on my waist.

There was a knock on the door and we broke apart quickly.

"Who's there?" Beast Boy asked, jerking his clothes nervously.

"It's Robin." Robin said, walking in carrying a bunch of boxes, brightly wrapped boxes.

"We all bought you or made you going away presents." he said, placing the boxes in Beast Boy's arms.

"Did you give him a present Star/" Robin asked, turning to look at me.

I opened my mouth to respond when Beast Boy answered for me, "Yeah she gave me one. It was unique and I'm never going to get another one exactly like it." He turned and smiled at me. My heart sped up again.

"Feel free to open the presents now," Cyborg said, proceeding the rest of our group plus others.

Beast Boy opened Cyborg's first. He turned red and when I asked him what it was, he stammered and shoved it in his suitcase. Raven and Zelda's gifts were opened next. It was a black hand mirror with red stones.

"Don't worry. It doesn't lead there any more. It is a portal to Titan's Tower." Raven explained at the look on Cyborg and Beast Boy's faces. I wondered what had happened with the mirror. Robin's was a set of keys.

"What do these go to?" Beast Boy asked, dangling them.

"A moped," Robin said.

Beast Boy acted like he had died and gone to the gates of pearl.

"Friend Beast Boy, are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine, just basking."

He left at 6 the next morning and we all waved him off.

*A/N So this is all I have so far. Big surprises await at Raven's wedding ^^*
