Final Chapter guys! Author's Notes at the end :)
Chapter 7
Starfire backed away towards her bed from Robin's outstretched hand.
"Robin what are you doing here?" she exclaimed, confused.
"Star..I needed to talk to you..About us.."
She crossed her arms defensively and began speaking, but he cut her off.
"No Star. There IS an us and you know it and..I know it and it's about time I told you.."
Her expression softened. Robin had never approached her with anything like this before.
He took a step towards her, and stopped. He had both hands clasped behind his neck, stressing over the right words to say.
How could he put into words how he felt for Starfire?
Here she was, right in front of him, looking beautiful, breath-taking, and the only thing his heart wanted. He desired so much to wrap his arms around her bare waist, and pull her to his body, kissing her until he could no longer breathe.
"Yes Robin? If you desire to speak with me, you should not be gaping, but formulating words."
He realized he wasn't saying anything. It was now or never. She was about a foot and a half away from him.
"This isn't easy for me Starfire. I think you know better than anyone how..reclusive I am. And all I've ever known is how to be a hero..nothing else.."
Starfire narrowed her eyes.
"Robin if your sole purpose here is to once more tell me we can be nothing more than heroes than I do not want the explanation, leave now please. Or perhaps it's better I leave." Starfire began walking towards the door, but Robin launched himself and grabbed her arm, pulling her gently back.
"No, no, no..Starfire it's not that. I promise. It's just hard to get this out.." They were a little closer now.
Starfire looked up at him thoughtfully. "What..is hard to get out Robin? Tell me."
He closed and opened his mouth again. Sighing, he finally said, "You mean the world to me..You've always been the only person I've had patience for..I care about all our friends, so much, but you're different."
Starfire frowned, not understanding. "Then what is it you feel for me? Is it different because I am not from your planet?"
"Of course not Star..I..um..I think..no I know..how I feel about you."
She raised an eyebrow, her big green eyes studying Robin.
Robin began feeling inadequate. Maybe it was too late. Maybe her date with Speedy had gone wonderfully. He felt as if he was just making a fool out of himself. He didn't like that feeling.
Embarrassed, he said, "Look Starfire. Maybe I should just go. I'm probably no match compared to your date"
He began walking out towards the door, scolding himself for not doing this right.
"Robin! Are you leaving once more? Oh X'hal! It is fine! Leave!" Starfire yelled angrily, she crossed her arms but once more spit out, "And yes I DID have a glorious time tonight!"
She turned around, and began to walk to her bathroom.
Suddenly, a pair of strong hands grabbed her around the waist and turned her around, Robin pulling her hips rapidly close to his. Their chests touching, their breathing heavy, their lips..an inch away from the other.
Robin didn't know what had gotten into him. He wasn't going to give her up to anyone.
He felt her heart beating against his, her eyes wide with surprise.
Her body was warm, he held her hips close against his.
"Robin.." she whispered, her arms holding on to his.
"Star..I.." he was dizzy. He rested his forehead against hers, their breathing in sync.
"Yes Robin?" she whispered.
Robin swallowed, his heart pounding harder than ever.
"You've always..you're.." he couldn't think straight with her lips hovering right below his, less than an inch away.
She raised her head more, her top lip barely brushing against Robin's lips.
She was doing that on purpose, he thought. Teasing him mercilessly. Parting her lips, looking at him with those irresistible, lusty big green eyes.
He couldn't take this anymore.
He suddenly pulled her to his lips aggressively, savoring the second their lips connected, relishing the moment, until she started kissing him back.
God this was so worth the past few days.
Robin pulled her closer, drowning in the kiss he'd waited for. She traced her fingertips up his forearm, to his biceps. Robin shuddered at her touch. He mirrored her motions and traced his hands up her lower back, sliding from her hot skin to the thin fabric of her tank.
His touch caused her to involuntarily press herself against him. Robin suppressed a moan, his spine still tingling.
He reluctantly pulled away.
Pulling away meaning pulling his lips about an inch off hers, and looking in her eyes.
"Starfire I..God I love you.." he croaked out, feeling his heart beat faster.
She smiled beautifully and grabbed his cheeks gently. "Robin I cannot tell you how happy I am to hear those words escape your mouth.." she kissed him, gently this time. "I truly love you too.."
He laughed, unable to describe the radiant combination of relief, happiness and love that flowed through him that moment.
"Might I make a request for you to possibly kiss me again Robin?" Starfire said teasingly.
"Star..I'd love to.." He smiled and leaned into her once more.
TTTTT
Beast Boy nudged Cyborg, pressing his ear up harder against Starfire's door.
"ARE THEY DOING IT?" he loudly whispered.
Cyborg stared at his green friend, astonished.
"Man at least be tasteful!" he paused, and grinned. "You know with all that pent up sexual tension, something happened!"
With a sudden unseen force, Beast Boy and Cyborg flew backwards, hitting the wall directly behind them.
"Ahh! Dude! What was that? I think the house is haunted again!" Beast Boy managed to crawl behind Cyborg's fallen body.
Suddenly, Raven appeared, towering above them both.
Her eyes narrowed and she pointed to Starfire's door.
"You. Will. NOT. Disturb."
She pushed her face near the terrified pair.
"Got it?"
They nodded, cradling each other with mouths dropped, staring at Raven's intimidating form.
"Good. Go play video games."
They took the opportunity to run towards the living room, crashing on the couch.
"That was scary man. I gotta admit, gave me some serious chills!" Cyborg exclaimed as he plugged in their controllers.
Beast Boy looked at him thoughtfully and smirked.
"I don't know man. Raven's kinda..hot when she's mad like that. I kinda liked it."
Cyborg's eyes widened, and his mouth quivered a little at Beast Boy's rather odd confession.
TTTTT
Robin and Starfire had managed to slowly approach Star's bed, without ever detaching their lips.
"Robin.." Starfire gasped, taking a breather from their kisses.
He paused and smiled goofily. "Yeah Star?"
She took his hands in hers and studied them, smiling.
"I believe it is getting to be late, don't you think?"
"Yes it is..would you like to go to bed? It's uh..been a long day." He smiled knowingly.
Starfire nodded and walked towards her bed, undoing the covers.
Robin watched as she carefully fluffed her pillows, and gently pulled her blanket down. She sat down and gestured for him to come closer. He couldn't take the silly grin off his face. He had to be dreaming. He sat down and kissed her hand.
"Mmm...goodnight Star. I love you."
He started to get up, but she held on to his hand.
"Robin?"
He loved the sweet sound of his name coming out of her lips.
"Hmm?"
"Would you like to sleep in my bed tonight?"
His silly grin, broke out into a dopey laugh.
"Heh. Heh. ME? In there? With..with you?" he asked, not believing this moment.
She nodded, beaming at him.
"Are you sure you want me in there with you Star?"
She sat up on her knees and pulled him close. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she said, "Robin I've waited long enough to have you this close to me. And I promise. I will not do the biting," she raised an eyebrow and giggled. "Unless you request it of course."
Robin laughed, "Star.." He pulled her down under him, covering her with adoring kisses.
They settled under the covers, Robin pulling Starfire close.
"Mmm..Robin might I ask you a question?"
"Anything."
"Is..this how it is going to be from now on?" She asked hesitantly, resting her head on his shoulder.
"Robin pulled her in,his lips grazing hers gently.
"This is how it's going to be always."
