*ducks and hides for cover*

I'm sorry I haven't updated this for a while but I hope it's worth the wait :)

This might be the last you see of me for at least a week 'cause I gotta go to Geography camp then it's off to LOSSA swimming championships. (I know I'm a nerd)

Not too much *mwah* *mwah* in this chapter cause they're in a public place and that's public indecency...which is illegal :)

I just finished watching Superman: Doomsday (which reminded me sooooo much of the Superman comics from the 90's, The Reign of Supermen!) and Batman and Superman, public enemies. (which had Starfire in it!!! She didn't talk though...just beat the crap out of 'em.)

Don't own Teen Titans, friggin' jealous of DC. :/

Read and review!

Robin cut the engine as he pulled into a parking space. He felt Starfire give his waist a final squeeze before she got off, making him blush uncontrollably. The Boy Wonder demounted the motorcycle with one fluid movement and took his helmet off with another.

"Robin?"

He turned and saw Starfirehaving trouble with her own helmet. Robin gave a soft smile and caught her hands before she did something drastic, like ripping it off her head. He undid the chin strap easily and lifted the safety gear off.

Starfire smiled a thank you and ran her hands through her tangled hair.

Robin watched the sunlight bounce off the ruby locks until his girlfriend finally flipped her hair over her shoulder and reached for his hand. They both smiled at one another as their fingers intertwined.

"So, what do you want to do?" the boy asked as they began to slowly walk into the park.

"It is time for 'the lunch', is it not?"

Robin glanced up; the sun was indeed high in the sky. "So it is, are you hungry?"

Starfire nodded and pulled a face. "Oh yes, I did not consume 'the oatmeal for the going' Beastboy packed for breakfast on our voyage."

Robin laughed. "Yeah, I think those might've been out of date." He scanned the park around him and spotted a lone vendor. "Hey, do you want some ice cream?"

The girl beamed at him. "Yes, please. It is rather hot." She tucked a stay piece of hair behind her ear and Robin found that he couldn't stop staring at her. Starfire looked over and giggled, blushing again. "Robin?"

The Boy Wonder came to his senses. "Oh right, sorry. C'mon, Star."

They walked up the cart and the vendor looked down at the heroes connected hands then back up at their faces, looking a little too pleased.

"What can I do you for?" he asked.

Robin glanced at his girlfriend. "Star?"

"Cotton candy, please." She answered automatically.

Cotton candy.

That made Robin smile. Starfire had started ordering that flavour whenever possible ever since he had taken her to the carnival and first introduced the sugary substance to her. He smoothed his thumb over the back of her hand and he knew she was thinking about it too. "And I'll have cookie dough, thanks."

The man nodded and passed them two double scoops. "No need to pay. Your team saved this whole park from Jonny Rancid and his huge robot dog last month. That mutt almost squished my cart!"

Starfire beamed. "Thank you, kind iced cream man! We shall stop any other criminals that put your business in danger!"

Robin had to bite his cheek to keep from laughing.

"I'll be counting on that. Have fun, kids!"

The Titan leader nodded his thanks as they began to walk to a quiet bench, away from the kids playing soccer and the dogs running free. The bench was small so they had to sit close, not that they were complaining or anything...

The couple licked their ice cream and held hands, the only they dared to do in such a public place.

Robin felt Starfire uncurl her fingers from between his and turn her palm so his hand was inside hers, their linked hands rested on their touching legs. He cast a sideways glance at her while he chewed on a piece of cookie dough. "So Star, do you miss Tokyo yet?"

Starfire smiled as she met his gaze. "Not terribly, but I do miss 'the blossoms of cherries'..." she trailed off as Robin began to trace shapes on the back of her hand.

"Well, you always have the ones you brought back."

The pair had spent a whole day searching for perfect flowers that had fallen off the Japanese trees and then Robin had taught her how to press them between the pages of a book.

Starfire started to nibble on her one. "I suppose...Robin, what did you return with as 'the souvenir'?"

He had gotten a few photos but that was it. The boy smiled cheekily. "I got you. That's enough for me."

Starfire blushed and giggled, letting her hair fall over her face. She tossed the last piece of her cone into grass and they watched a robin grab it before soaring back into the sky. Starfire's hand was still gently kneading his own through the glove.

Robin wanted nothing more than to take off the glove and feel her bare skin against his own but he knew that wasn't allowed, at least for him. But there was something that he could do...

The boy swallowed the last of his ice cream cone and looked to the princess. "Starfire?"

She turned her full attention to her boyfriend and he placed a hand on her arm. The girl's eyes widened as he swiftly took her lips with his. The kiss was much too quick for either of their liking, just a second of his lips pressed to hers. She didn't even have time to react.

Robin found a smile slowly forming on his face as Starfire looked up at him through long lashes.

She started to reach for his neck to pull him in for another kiss but a loud gasp broke their moment.

The couple whipped around to see a little girl clutching a soccer ball to her chest. The girl's jaw dropped and the ball slipped from her grip.

Robin looked rather annoyed as Starfire scooted away from him and stood up.

"Greetings, I am Starfire of Tamaran. What is your name?"

The girl seemed to finally snap out of it and she snatched up the ball, running back to her friends to tell them what she just witnessed, no doubt.

Robin sighed and pushed up from the bench. "Let's go, Star."

The alien's brow furrowed. "Robin, why? It was just one child."

The boy took her hand and began to lead her back to the R-cycle. "Yeah, but more will come and I rather wouldn't have an audience."

Starfire tightened her grip on his hand. "But-"

Robin cut her off with his lips. "Don't worry." He breathed. "We have the rest of the day... and I'll take the long way home." He finished with a smile knowing she would like any excuse to have her arms around his waist.

Starfire smiled back. "I think we have 'the deal'."

Robin laughed as she began to fly to the R-cycle, pulling him along.

There it is. Happy now? :)

I wanted the hand holding thing to be a big deal for them and to sorta play with it. I think it's cute. ;)

Yeah, an audience would make things a bit awkward...heh heh

Umm, I wrote in the Cotton Candy for Star's ice cream 'cause that was my favourite when I was little and I thought it would be childlike and cute BUT THEN I remembered the carnival and I was like HELLADANK, I'm so smart! :D NERD! Look at me in with my smartness :)

Read and Review if you want more smartness ('cause I know I do)
