Day 7 - Jewel

She slid her hand beneath her long ruby locks, lifting them up as she used her other hand to drag a brush through; untangling any knots and making it all smooth for the next day.

Starfire hummed a quiet tune to herself as she stroked her hair, bringing it back over her shoulder and letting it cascade over her skin like silk.

Getting to her feet, she wandered over to her chest of drawers, opening the third one to look for a choice of nightwear, currently standing in a baby blue lace set; the bra hugging her breasts like a second skin and the underwear she wore, not far off the same. They cut low around her hips, showcasing her shape and framing her rear wonderfully.

Her captive audience certainly seemed to think so.

"Star… put something on already." Robin groaned from where he was sat on their bed, wearing a pair of grey sweatpants.

She suppressed a smirk and deliberately puffed her chest out and arched her back, turning and leaning seductively against the drawers. She pouted her lips and little and let her eyes become half lidded,

"Why, Richard… am I distracting you?" She purred, a wicked glimmer in her emerald eyes,

He bit down on his bottom lip, eyes trailing over every inch of her orange skin; drinking in the sight of her unbelievably long legs, that perfectly plump backside that curved up to her tiny waist before he evidently stared at her most perky assets.

"What do you think?" He grumbled, a husky edge to his tone,

She giggled and crouched slightly, digging around in her pyjama drawer. Robin sat forward a little, his focus solely on the way her ass shook as she searched the chest for what to wear to bed.

"Princess, you'll be the death of me, I swear." He muttered, dragging a hand through his dark hair.

"Hopefully not." She returned, a pink babydoll slip clutched in her fist.

Throwing it on the bed momentarily, Starfire had a wicked glint in her eye as she sat with her back facing her lover,

"Robin, could I ask you to do me a favour?" She murmured,

"What's up?"

Glancing over her shoulder, she kept her eyes downcast as she asked, "Could you unhook my bra, please?"

She stifled a laugh as he was at her back in an instant, fingers already fiddling with the clasp of her garment until it snapped apart.

He decided to help one step further, gently peeling the straps down from her shoulders; something he seemed to take great pleasure in.

Starfire felt him kiss the space between her neck and shoulder before she continued to shrug the rest of the lacy bra off. Deciding to tease him, she let it flutter to the ground before she stood up, away from him.

"Thank you!" She chirped,

Robin fell forward a little and took a double take at her when she slowly turned towards the best, showing her ample breasts off in all their glory. He swallowed the apparent drool in his mouth and shook his head,

"Minx…"

The Princess laughed and reached for the babydoll she intended to wear, slipping it over her head and smoothing it down the curves of her body.

"Y'know… you'd be more comfortable without it."

Smirking, Starfire raised a brow at him, "Oh? Is that right?"

"Mhm…" Robin mumbled as she sat on her side of their bed, "a lot more freedom and stuff."

She burst into laughter at his attempt of persuasion before she slid beneath the covers, fluffing her pillow before laying her head down upon it, "Perhaps I will have to remove it in a while then, hm?"

"An excellent idea, really." Robin smirked, his blue eyes shining with mirth,

He matched her actions and got in between the sheets, leaning over to turn off the lamp on his bedside table before he rolled back to her, an arm over her waist so that he could press his fingertips to her back and pull her closer.

Starfire obliged, snuggling up to her boyfriend and throwing a leg over his hip so that their exposed skin brushed together.

There was a breath of companionable silence for a long moment as they got comfortable, readying themselves to fall asleep for the night.

Fingers danced at the curve of her hip, beneath the thin material of the babydoll she wore and against the warm patch of skin that lay under. Robin stroked her hip over and over, drawing little patterns here and there before he murmured,

"Our anniversary is coming up soon."

She brushed her fingers against his cheek, letting her hand fall until the palm rested against his chest, right over the place his heart was. She could hear the rhythmic thumping which seemed to be growing stronger and quicker as the seconds passed.

"Mm… 4 years is a long time."

"I mean, it took me longer than that to actually tell you how I felt so…"

She smiled in the darkness, staring at him through the pitch black; both knowing where the other's gaze was and how to meet it, "I believe the expression is… better late than never."

Robin grinned, "Thanks for being so patient with me, Star."

Drumming her fingers against his chest, she murmured, "Always."

He chewed his lip as he considered the changes that were coming, including something particularly close to his heart,

"I can't believe we're almost set on Nightwing too… it's crazy to be leaving Robin behind."

"I think you are ready. Robin cannot sustain you forever and Nightwing is a good identity to take over. He is your own creation, separate from anyone else."

"Well, Nightwing will still be affiliated with the Titans…"

"But not in the same way as you would be with Batman… not like Robin is."

"True. I'm looking forward to becoming Nightwing… I've been thinking about it a lot and I think you're right. It'll be good for me to make the switch… and I was even thinking a few years into the future as well."

"How so?"

"Well… when we're older and the city won't need the Titans as much anymore… there's this city called Bludhaven… I've been looking into it and it's between here and Gotham and I think it could really use some help. I'd… like to be that help."

He felt her stiffen before she quietly replied, "Oh… you are planning to leave?"

Robin furrowed his brows, "It won't be like that… It's just, even now, all of us are starting to take on new opportunities and things; the Titans aren't just heroes anymore."

"Oh."

"What's wrong?"

"What… does that mean for you and I?"

He laughed; he had to, "Star… if I move to Bludhaven, I want you to come with me. Obviously."

Robin could see her expression shift and she looked incredibly surprised by that, "Oh? We would live alone?"

"Mhm."

"That will be most strange… living together with just you."

He hesitated, "Is… that a bad thing?"

"Not at all… in fact, I think I like that idea very much."

Robin leaned forward to peck her forehead, "Good because then… when we're older and living together… we could possibly… maybe… decide to start our own little family, if that's something you would want as well?"

He could practically see the beaming smile she gave him, "You wish for children?"

"One day, yeah… do you?"

"I do…" She told him before she giggled, "But, I do believe if you wish to have small bumgorfs with me, you shall need to make me your wife first."

Robin smirked, "So demanding."

"I think it is a fair deal considering I would be carrying a child for a very long time. It is the least you could do."

The boy wonder chuckled and brushed some of her beautiful tendrils of ruby red hair away from her face before he gently bopped her nose, "Y'know, it's funny you say that actually…"

Pulling away from her briefly, he flicked the switch of his lamp back on; a dim glow filling the room. He slowly opened the first drawer of his bedside table and smiled down at the object inside.

A little velvet box stared back at him and as he reached for it, his heartbeat was racing. Opening the box, he focused on the silver ring inside, diamonds encrusted around the band with a larger diamond sitting at the very top.

He personally thought it was the perfect standard for royalty herself.

"Robin?"

Taking a deep breath, Robin prepared himself to ask the question; the thing he had been waiting to do for weeks now. He could only hope what her answer would be.
