Hiya. I am soooo sorry that I hadn't updated. I was soo busy, but now here's chapter six please enjoy and what not.
It'd been eleven days and something odd nights since Carberous's attack. Low on ammo and need boat repairs the three were on guard twenty-four seven. They would take shifts watching, waiting, and listening for any sign that the Carberous were gaining or attacking.
It was now ten o'clock and Starfire went to wake up Richard for his shift.
"Richard, it is time for your shift." Star said in a low sweet motherly voice.
"Ten more minutes, mom."
"Oh for heaven sakes." Dr. Washizaki said with a pitcher of ice cold water in her hand.
"Where and when were able to get that?"
"Does it matter? I'm tired and want to go to bed."
"What are you going to do with that?"
"You'll see." She walked up to Richard's sleeping form and poured the water all over him a yelp escaped his lips as he shot out of bed.
"What the hell was that for?"
"I'm sooo tired Richie and you were waking up so I had to pour water on you. It's your shift, by the way." And with that Dr. Washizaki walked to her chambers to sleep."
"Man, I can't stand her."
"Oh, and it's a bit cold outside so bundle up." Dr. Washizaski pops her head back in to warn before making her way to her bed.
Richard sighs. "Why me?"
"Richard I am sorry I did not know what she was going to do with the water. I should have tried to stop her I am so deeply sorry please forgive me." Starfire begged.
"It's not your fault."
"But-"
"Starfire, stop. Go wait for me out in the hall while I get ready."
Starfire nodded and did as she was told. About thirty minutes of waiting Richard finally emerged from his room wear a black wife beater that showed his muscles perfectly, a white jacket, and grey jogging pants. He didn't bother to touch his hair because it was in a messy shag, he had a five o'clock shadow, and he still had his sunglasses on. Starfire couldn't help, but Stare only hoping she wasn't drooling.
"Star?"
"Huh." She said snapping out of her daze.
"Should we get going?"
"Oh, Yes indeed." She said as she was turning around blushing a dark crimson color and speed walking down the hallway.
"Star." Richard called after her. "You're going the wrong way."
With that Starfire blushed a deeper color, turning around, and hurryingly walked past him in the right direction.
"Okay?" Richard lifted up an eyebrow before following after Starfire.
Outside they climb the ropes to get to their point for the look out.
"Star, are you okay, you've been quiet since I came out of my room."
Starfire said nothing.
Richard sigh deep and looked out to the sea. The sea at night was always one of Richard's favorite sights. The sea looked midnight blue, the moon shown big and full, and the waves crashed along the rocks making a beautiful sound.
"Wow." Starfire said finally after about ten minutes of silence. "It's so beautiful."
"Yeah, it sure is." Richard said not taking his eyes off Star and not knowing if he was talking about the sight or her. "Hey star happened to you back there?" he blurted out and then mentally kicking himself keeping his mouth shut.
"Oh look a shooting Star!" Star gasped. Richard looked sure enough a star flew past them in the sky. "Pretty." She sighed and closed her eyes to make a wish. "Richard aren't you going to make a wish?"
"Naw," he said waving his hand.
"How come?"
"Because, my wish already came true a while back."
"Oh really and what is it?"
He got close to her to whisper into her ear. "Now if I told you it wouldn't be a secret, now would it?"
"So you want me to feel antsy not knowing?"
"Well I didn't see why you need to feel antsy because I'm never going to tell you." He again whispered into her ear.
"You are a mean person." She said turning around and pouting which only made Richard laugh at her attempt of making him feel guilty. "Oh, you are double mean," which made him laugh even harder. She turned around pretending to be mad.
"Oh no you don't." He said and did something both of them weren't expecting. He grabbed her around the waist and pulled her to him. They both gasped after realization set in, but neither let go. Instead they got into a comfortable potion and cuddled to together looking watching the stars lost in their own little world. Lucky no one attacked the night.
The next morning Dr. Washizaki got up and went to the deck to see if Richard and Starfire needed some food, but she got there her eyes nearly bugged out of her head because there slept Richard holding Starfire. She smiled a sweet smile and then an evil one. She softly kicked her foot into Richard's shoulder. He gently woke up. "Huh, what time is it?"
"Well for starters it's ten o'clock in the morning and the cat's out of the bag."
"Huh?" Dr. Washizaki nudged her head for to Star sleeping form. It took a minute for reality to sink in, but when it did Richard face became crimson.
"Uh-huh." Dr. Washizaki said walking away while Richard tried to get out from under Star as softly as he could. "So when are you planning to ask her out?"
"What?"
"You heard me. When?"
"I… don't know. I mean she's a princess and I'm just…"
"As cheesy has this sounds her knight."
"So?"
"Oh my god. For Christ sakes Sherk got the princess because he saved her-"
"That doesn't mean anything." Dr. Washizaki smacked him.
"Of course it does. I hate to admitted it, and believe me I really do, but sometimes fairy tales comes true. She likes you, you like her go out already before I shove my foot up your ass."
With everything going on I decide the characters needed a breather and so does this story with action so I decided to put a little bit of Robstar fluff and humor I hoped you enjoyed it, bye.
