Chapter 4 Let the Torture Begin
It wasn't long after their declarations of love that Starfire and Robin found themselves uncapable of sleep. They had spent much of the night tossing and turning in bed and now that all that all of that was taken away and the adrenaline of knowing one another's touch had woke them right up. They had spent
the last hour swimming in the happiness of their love and though Robin was enjoying it, he didn't want to go too fast with Starfire. He wanted every move they to be special. So after a while he took her hand and moved to the common room to watch a movie. Starfire insisted on Robin's favorite Jet Li movie, curled up against his chest on the couch, and he agreed. He didn't even care that she fell asleep half way through it, he only held her closer. It meant something to him that she felt safe enough and peaceful enough to fall asleep in his arms. Yet he also was teetering on the verge of sleep and not an hour after his beloved had drifted off he followed, letting his face fall down into the silky roots of her hair.
They had forgotten a world existed around them. Forgotten their pains and sorrows from the day before. It was almost like they'd found that missing piece of their puzzle just in time. Unfortunately for them, however, Beast Boy had not forgotten reality. He had arose early that morning, hoping to get a
moment alone with Raven for the first time in days, only to open his groggy eyes up to the sight of his best friend and sister-figure asleep in their embrace. He began to bubble immediately with jokes and laughter, but this was too good not to share. Turning tail to run before the two titans could stir, he raced to the automatic door of Cyborg's room. Within minutes, the two were staring down over the back of the couch, just waiting for one of them to wake up. That was how Raven found them and that was how she found her other two friends. Her thought was the same as her two obnoxious friends' "finally". She was sitting down at
the other end of the couch when Robin made a grunting noise and opened his eyes with exhaustion. He had to do a double take when he saw them all gazing at them and once he realized he had set himself up to be figured out instantly, he turned the color of Starfire's hair. Beast Boy and Cyborg let loose with their
laughter, watching him fidget uncomfortably beneath their eyes, but Raven was the only one to speak.
"Good morning Robin...or is this a good night?" she asked, voicing the only taunting words she'd ever used in her life in that way. Robin's lips pressed together in irritation and he started to move.
"Hey, where ya goin lover boy?" asked Cyborg. Robin's face went even redder and he cringed at the phrase.
"I'm putting Star to back in bed...she had a nightmare and couldn't sleep," he replied once he had lifted the Tamaranian into his arms. Her face rolled over onto his shoulder and she snuggled against it. Robin nearly permitted a loving smile on his face, but that was before Cyborg and Beast Boy started.
"Aw...iddnt dat coot!" cooed Beast Boy. Cyborg high fived him.
"Now if you'll excuse me," said Robin pushing between them. By the time he'd left the room, even Raven had a smirk on her face. They didn't even know robin could turn that red. But he did and he also put his dear love to bed, changed clothes, and beat the pants off of Cyborg in MarioCart 74th edition (their own creation with several 'characters' you can't typically find on Mario Cart). Raven watched them, listening to all the comments they made and Robin actually seemed to be taking it all without much of a fight. What little he was putting up only fueled the fire more.
Starfire entered the room several hours later at the time when Beast Boy normally came trudging in. Her hair was pulled back off her face and hanging over her shoulders while the rest of her seemed normal. Raven smiled to herself at the unconscious dressing up Starfire had done, but Cyborg voiced it.
"Wow, Starfire! Lookin good!" he beamed. Starfire grinned and approached the couch where Robin was sitting.
"Thank you friend Cyborg and good morning all," she said.
"Sleep well?" asked Raven with no second meaning intended.
"Yes..I did not have that dream last night as so slept as heavily as a farlwat mauthoring in the leymo," she nodded. Raven stared at her dumbstruck.
"If you say so..."
"Hey Star! Wanna play winner?" chirped Beast Boy. Robin was happy to notice no one was making fun of Starfire like they had him. With her mind set, he wasn't sure how she would take it anyway.
"I would indeed enjoy to, but I fear I do not know how. I will watch you and Robin play now," she smiled.
"Cool. Then I got winner's guys."
"Looks like that'll be me! Lover Boy's not fighting back," mocked Cyborg as he throttled his control with a speed similar to that of a psycho. Robin was biting his lip in his efforts but no going insane.
"C'mon Cy, take it easy. You know he's a lover and not a fighter," laughed Beast Boy. Robin stopped moving his hands and turned his eyes slowing to the green boy next to him. "Uh oh," gulped Beast Boy as he suddenly leapt up and took off around the room followed instantly by Robin. Cyborg laughed loudly while the two girls watched in surprise Robin capture and torture Beast Boy with nuggies. "I TAKE IT BACK!" screamed Beast Boy. "Just cut it out, I'm not ready for male pattern baldness," he added. Robin strutted back to his controller and while Cyborg wasn't looking destroyed his forces.
"What?! Damn! Dude that was sneaky..." wailed Cyborg.
"My turn My turn!" yelled Beast Boy as he jumped over the edge of the couch and snatched up Cyborg's controller. "Revenge is mine!" he cackled.
"Hey Beast Boy if you aim at Starfire you'll definately hit Rob!" joked Cyborg. Robin's face turned red and Starfire looked at him with her head cocked to the side.
"Why is it you insult Robin in such a way for saving my life if you are our friend?"
"I'm not really insulting. It's a guy thing," he waved her off. Starfire turned to Raven.
"We saw you and Robin asleep on the couch this morning and the guys are making fun of him for it. They don't really mean it, it's a twisted way of showing affection," she explained.
"Oh, now I understand. Like when Cyborg puts Beast Boy's under garments in the freezing machine," she said, causing laughter from Cyborg and a frown from Beast Boy who wouldn't take his eyes off the screen. "If that is the case I insist that Robin no go through your taunting alone. I demand to be teased," she said matter-o-factly. All the boys stopped what they were doing and started to laugh. "It is not that funny!"
"No, it's not Star and thanks. But you really don't want this," promised Robin. She glared at him.
"I demand it!" she cried. Beast Boy and Cyborg made eye contact. Formerly they had backed off their sisterly figure out of respect but now....whooo whoo, boy.
It wasn't until later that day when she was playing dodge ball with the boys in the park that she surrendered. She left the game to sit with Raven after hearing "my aim's so bad, I aim at Star and hit Rob every time!" too many times for her liking. They had already teased her hair and the snuggle she had done against Robin's shoulder, but that was getting old too. She looked over at Raven in disgust and exhaustion.
"I no longer wish to share this particular load with Robin," she said and Raven suppressed her chuckle.
