robstar week 2019: day three

annddd we’re back!! as usual, all art credit goes to @samdraws715 (which you can also find the art posted to her instagram!) whew, this was a fun one. i love robin when he’s just staring at starfire with so much love for her in the show and i love how often he did it. he’s an absolute goner when it comes to her, that’s for sure :’) enjoy this one guys!

Lost

It was a busy day for the titans. For most of them at least. Cyborg went off to visit Titans East, and Beast Boy and Raven went together to see how development on the Titans North tower was coming along. The three of them were specifically called by the other teams, and only thought their tasks would take them a few hours. They left early in the morning, before the sun had even come up, so when Robin woke up for the day, he was surprised to find that they hadn’t returned yet. However, it wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, and with one other titan left in the tower as well, maybe this was an opportunity to take.

Robin and Starfire spent the day together in the city doing many fun activities, not worrying about when a villain would show up or when the others would come back from their duties. They simply revelled in the time they spent together and made the most of it.

At the end of the day, both of them returned to the tower, but there was still no sign of the other three. After a quick call to the others they explained that it was merely just a delay on getting the job completed and that they should be back soon.

The day slowly started to turn into night and there was no point in going back out after they returned from a fun but tiring day. They decided to sit out on the rocks and watch the sun set to end it all.

They took in the beautiful view of their city and how the orange sun made the water sparkle. Starfire sighed. “Oh, the city is absolutely beautiful tonight.”

“It really is.” Robin responded while not breaking eye contact with the shimmering water. He turned to Starfire and sat up straight. “Today was amazing. I always forget how much fun the city can be, especially since we mostly just save it.”

Starfire nodded. “Indeed. On the days there are no crimes we mostly just do the relaxing here, and while it is enjoyable, we miss out on all the fun things that are happening else where.” She turned her head to Robin with a light smile. “I am glad I did that today, especially with you.”

“Me too. I’m glad you enjoyed it.” Robin said.

“As am I.” Starfire said before sighing once more. She placed both hands behind her and leaned back, continuing to take in the view of the pink-ish orange sky as the sun gradually became lower and lower, which started to bring forth the dark night sky.

Not hearing anything from Robin in quite some time, she slightly turned her head to see what he was doing, only to find him completely lost staring in her direction. His hand was pressed against his cheek and a red hue settled on his face. She knew he was staring at her by his exact face, which he had done on more than one occasion. Though she had to admit, it did make her heart flutter. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear as she felt her own cheeks grow warm. “Robin,” she finally said, trying to contain her own smile as well. “you are doing the staring again.”

“Oh.” Robin sat up straight, a small smile still visible on his face. He rubbed the back of his head as the blush on his cheeks continued to stick. “Sorry, I just can’t help it.”

Starfire couldn’t help but giggle at that point. “This is definitely not the first time I have found you staring. You are not as subtle as you think.”

Robin laughed at that. “I know. I’m not trying to be subtle, I just can’t help but look at you.” Robin paused and admired her for a second longer. “You’re so beautiful.”

She felt a tingle in the pit of her stomach and the blush on her cheeks only got worse from there. “Robiiiinn...” Starfire said rolling her eyes playfully.

“Aw come on, Star, it’s true!” Robin said as he crossed his legs. “I wouldn’t have said it if it weren’t, besides, it’s kind of hard for you not to be.”

Starfire hummed and moved closer to him. “I truly do not understand what I have done to deserve you.” She said as she cupped his face in both her hands.

Robin put his hands over hers. “I could say the same thing about you, princess.” He looked at her adoringly before leaning in to kiss her, in which she returned.

A few moments of uninterrupted love had passed before a voice rang out in the air. “Well well well, isn’t that romantic?”

The two teens pulled apart and looked up to see Beast Boy morphed as a pterodactyl with Cyborg holding onto its leg as Raven floated behind them. Once Cyborg was on the rocky ground, Beast Boy morphed back into his normal form as he crossed his arms and gave Robin and Starfire a look.

“You guys couldn’t have picked a better time to come back.” Robin said sarcastically.

“Don’t worry your spiky little head,” Cyborg told him. “We were just going inside, right, B?”

“You said it.” Beast Boy said as he stretched out his limbs. “Seriously, I’ve been transporting heavy metal parts for the tower back and forth all day! I’m telling you, this is what cranes are for, and I’m not talking about the bird.”

“Aw man.” Cyborg said as Beast Boy shot him a look, causing him to chuckle.

Raven put her hands on either of the boys’ shoulders and led them towards the front door of the tower. “It’s been a long day, why don’t we order some pizza?”

“Aw yeah! Pizza!” The boys said in unison as they scrambled into the tower taking Raven away with them. The front door closed leaving Starfire and Robin alone with each other once again.

“Well,” Starfire began with a smile. “that was quite the interruption.”

“Yeah,” Robin said. “but it’s not like I’m not used to it by now. This sort of thing happens a lot more than I thought.”

“You are acting as if we haven’t had time alone together in a while.” Starfire said with a lazy smile. “You know we have plenty of time for that.”

“I know, I just like to take the opportunity with you whenever I can.” He ran his fingers through her long hair and looked into her bright green eyes, once again entranced by her beauty.

Starfire hummed and leaned closer to him. “I suppose after we eat the pizzas with our friends, then perhaps we could have more time alone together. Truthfully, I would not mind that at all.” Her eyes cast slightly downwards and she briefly kissed his jawline, which shot a tingle through his body. “How does that sound?”

“That sounds perfect.” Robin warmly smiled at her.

The two of them then held hands as they walked into the tower to join their friends.

RobStar Week 2019: Day 1

Sooo... I said I was probably not going to take part in RobStar week this year on account of just being burned out and hating basically everything I wrote.

However... I’ve been busting my ass this weekend to get some oneshots written for the week and so far, I’ve managed to churn out like 3 days so I’m rolling with the momentum because fuck knows how long the creativity will hold out.

Not the happiest with this first one... shock... but I like day 2 at least so... yea.

p.s - sorry if I have been awol or not responsive these past few days. I’m not ignoring anyone or anything. I’ve just been solely focused on writing these and haven’t wanted distractions so have like... really tried to stay away from discord and tumblr lmao.

Anyway... enough blabbering... hope you like day 1 and happy robstar week, folks!

(Forgive the weird, makeshift line break below. If Tumblr wasn’t such a little bitch and hadn’t got rid of said feature, it would look normal. >.>)

_____________________________________________________________

Wayne Manor

Pearls of rain were speckled all across the glass with a few trying hard to best the others, racing one another to see who would be first to reach the bottom of the window pane, leaving a watery trail in their steads.

She brought her fingers to the surface, following the lines of the rain droplets, a patient smile on her face. The dampness outside was not one of her favorite types of weather patterns but she didn’t mind it so long as she didn’t have to go out in it.

It had been raining all day; non stop and relentless. Starfire sighed as she shifted in her seat, pressing the side of her head to the glass, her green eyes watching the new raindrops that appeared from the night sky.

She and Robin had arrived in Gotham early that morning and had spent a bit of time together around the city before they inevitably went to see Robin’s former mentor and legal guardian.

Bruce Wayne was, in Starfire’s opinion, a complex and intriguing man. There were a lot of similarities between him and her boyfriend; ones that were painfully familiar to her when she saw them in the billionaire by day, vigilante by night.

She had known Bruce for a while now; having been in a relationship with his son for 2 years, she had had her fair share of meetings with him.

And yet, she still wasn’t sure how she was supposed to take him. She wasn’t sure on what he thought of her as he could make himself just as unreadable as Robin could, if not more. It was so very frustrating to be around humans who were so secretive about their own thoughts and feelings.

Starfire constantly wore her heart on her sleeve; allowing all of her emotions to be showcased. It was a Tamaranian trait, to embrace everything one felt. The very idea of hiding your thoughts and feelings or not expressing them at the very least was unheard of on her world.

They had come to the city Robin had grown up in as another milestone approached.

Nightwing was on the horizon; plans and designs carefully in place, just waiting to be followed through. He had always told her how he wanted Nightwing to be separate from Batman but, asking for a small ounce of help in creating the identity wasn’t too hard a pill to swallow.

Alfred was someone that instantly made her smile; the older gentleman was warm and wise and she felt like she got on very well with him. He reminded her somewhat of Galfore, someone who would likely give her advice that was hard to hear but that was necessary.

If anything, she enjoyed visits to Robin’s former home, simply because of seeing Alfred. She liked to help him with household chores including food preparation or, if the rarity came when the sun was beaming down on Gotham, she would help him in the garden; all the while chatting about whatever they wanted to.

She didn’t have to wonder with Alfred; not like she wondered with Bruce.

As she sat on the integrated seat at the large window of the back of the den, she sighed and rolled her shoulders. There was a breath of loneliness that befell her at times such as this.

Robin had been summoned hours ago, spending the time with Alfred so that measurements could be taken for his new uniform. Bruce had gone as well of course; down the winding staircase into the cave.

She hadn’t explicitly been told she couldn’t tag along with the three of them but she also hadn’t received an invitation, having resorted to staying upstairs and out of their way, instead.

The faint smile she wore faded a little as her mind dwelled on the insecurities she had locked away inside of her.

Starfire had a gut feeling Bruce didn’t like her very much and was likely happy that she had not followed them down to the batcave. He was a conundrum of a person and she simply could not gauge what he was thinking, especially when it came to her.

In the beginning, when she had first come to Wayne Manor and met him for the first time, he had offered a polite smile and engaged in small talk with her as best he could but she still felt the scrutiny in his eyes whenever he looked at her.

Was it because she wasn’t from Earth? Was it because she was a super powered being and he felt that she was a dangerous threat? Or was it simply… he didn’t like who she was and didn’t approve of his son being involved with her?

Biting her lower lip, Starfire pushed the swell of concern mixed with unhappiness further down inside her. There was a lump in her throat and tears briefly pricked her eyes. She wanted him to like her, to think of her like an addition to their family but she had doubts that she would ever reach such a level of acceptance from the man beneath the cowl.

“Starfire?”

A squeak burst from her lips and she jolted forward, her heart thumping in her chest like a caged bird fighting to be free. She took a deep breath and turned to find the source of the voice.

Bruce stood at the archway of the den, staring at her with mild curiosity, his hands at his sides. He wore a pale blue dress shirt, with a stray button not done up at his neck along with pressed, black pants, looking pristine as always. The dim light in the room reflected in the shine of his dark leather shoes and she found herself blinking at him.

“Oh… B-Bruce… you startled me.”

A soft smile adorned his face, “Sorry. We seem to have that be a running theme in this house.”

She puffed out a laugh, “Yes, Dick often catches me by surprise when we are at the tower… he is most silent and works well to use stealth tactics, without even meaning to.”

He nodded and slipped his hands into his pockets, blue eyes narrowing ever so slightly in her direction,

“What are you doing down here?”

She gulped and suddenly felt nervous, a chill coming over her like she had been caught doing something she shouldn’t have.

Immediately, she got to her feet, shyly wringing her fingers together in front of her chest,

“O-Oh… apologies for… intruding upon areas of your home… I was just-”

Bruce tilted his head, looking confused, “Starfire, please… sit.”

She appeared hesitant now; unsure and uncomfortable.

“Please?”

Wordlessly, she sat back down on the cushion of the window seat, looking awkward as she pressed her knees together and threaded her fingers atop her lap.

Bruce calmly walked closer to her and waved a hand, “I didn’t mean it like you aren’t allowed to be here. You are… I was just curious why you were here of all places in the manor?”

She turned her head back towards the window, watching the rainfall, “This is… the most peaceful spot I have managed to find within your home. I can watch the rain here and be soothed by it.” She paused, “And… I did not wish to interrupt… your planning in the cave.”

His eyes widened a fraction, “Interrupt us? We were actually waiting for you for a time… Dick said you would come down but…”

“Oh.”

She felt her face become hot, embarrassed, with the blush hidden by the orange tone of her skin.

Peering down at the hem of her skirt, Starfire chewed on her lip, feeling foolish and out of place. Insecurity gnawed at her soul, whispering fears and uncertainties into her mind about what he must think of her.

Bruce watched her for a long moment, processing and reading her behavior before he crossed the space between them and took a seat beside her, on the cushioned surface.

“You must be used to the grim weather here by now.” Bruce murmured, his eyes focused on the lead of the water droplet race that was still in full swing.

Starfire blinked, surprised that he seemingly was trying to make conversation. As she had already pointed out to herself, Bruce was a quiet person, analyzing and calculating and using the true streak of a detective in him to figure others out, rather than conversing to do that like most people would.

“Uh… I… truly do not mind it. Rain is not something that we have on Tamaran. I find it fascinating.”

His brows rose, “You don’t?”

She shook her head, “We have water, of course. But, our water does not fall from the sky.” She paused as a memory floated through her mind and she giggled behind the palm of her hand,

Bruce tilted his head in a questioning manner.

“Forgive me… I… just remembered the first time I discovered rain on this planet. We were all at the park and it started to rain and I was most certain is was an enemy hiding in the clouds… until Dick explained what it was. I do not believe he expected me to spend the rest of our day jumping from puddle to puddle, refusing to go home.”

Bruce stared at her for a long moment before he quirked a smile, “I suppose it would definitely be something worth exploring if you’d never seen it before.”

She smiled fondly as she cast her mind back on that day, “The first time I saw the snow… it was much the same… Dick explained it to me and told me how snow only really comes in Winter.”

“He’s been quite a teacher to you through the years.”

Her smile widened a little more, “He has helped me adjust to life on Earth the most out of all our friends.”

Bruce’s blue eyes softened, seeing very clearly how much his son meant to this girl.

He hadn’t been sure what to make of Starfire when Dick had first mentioned her and when it became apparent that the boy wonder thought of her as more than just a friend, Bruce took a little more interest when Dick would let slip little details about her.

Meeting her was a full on experience, she’d been excitable and exuberant, floating around the manor with the other Titans, awestruck by the building. He remembered wondering if she ever stopped smiling and if her face hurt at the end of the day because of the constant cheer across her features.

That first time had been years ago now and yet, sometimes, he still got the feeling he and Starfire were at odds in some way.

He was far from oblivious. He could guess that she didn’t feel like she belonged or fit in whenever the two visited and stayed in Gotham for a few nights; the city and her were like polar opposites. One was gritty and dark, the other was passionate and full of happiness and life.

Bruce mused that that was what attracted Dick to the alien Princess; she was so different to what he’d known throughout his adolescence; a ray of sunshine through all the gloom, if you will.

“He’s always been the helpful type.” Bruce grunted,

“He is a good man.” She paused to look at him, her green eyes locking on his blue orbs, “For any flaws Dick may have… he has a big heart and a gentle nature…”

He held her stare for a long time; not exactly one to break eye contact easily, before he gave her a short nod, “He is.”

Starfire smiled and played with a lock of red hair, spilling over her shoulder and she turned her attention back to the rain streaked window.

Bruce refrained from clearing his throat awkwardly, trying to ignore the subconscious tapping of his fingertips against his knee. He wasn’t an open book and he wasn’t exactly the social type or at least… he didn’t enjoy being social.

But, in this case, he wanted to try. He knew he wasn’t easy to get along with and every single time they had come face to face, it was Starfire attempting to crack open the shell around him that she’d clearly shattered with Dick.

He’d noticed the change though; how in recent months, whenever they visited Gotham, Starfire had lost some of that glowing joy that usually radiated within an entire room, lighting everything up.

She’d given in a little with being the first to try and he could imagine what she thought, he thought of her.

Of course, she would likely be wrong.

Bruce considered her to be a very charming young lady; she was a very good fighter with a fiery temper to match. She was besotted with his son and he with her which was something no one could miss when seeing the couple together. She was an extremely upbeat soul with a sense of childlike wonder which was nothing short of endearing.

He was happy that Dick was happy and it didn’t hurt that Starfire was a lovely girl as well. He enjoyed her company and found her sweet; a rarity to find in most humans, especially in Gotham City.

“Have I ever told you about when Dick was just a kid and Alfred was in London for a few days?”

Starfire’s brows rose and a small, hopeful smile lingered on her lips as she shook her head.

Bruce chuckled, “He was only about 11 years old then and I’d finished a rough patrol… I had injuries that no child could really know how to dress.”

The Princess shifted, eyes sparkling with interest as she tucked her legs underneath her and laced her fingers together.

“And in usual Dick fashion with trying to help everyone around him… He ended up wrapped toilet paper around my wounds. He wasn’t stupid of course; he’d washed them with water and applied medicinals but this kid couldn’t figure out where Alfred would store the gauze so… doing what he does best, he improvised and headed for the roll in the bathroom.”

Starfire stared at the dark haired man for a long moment before she cracked up laughing, holding her stomach with one hand whilst the other covered her mouth as she descended into giggles.

“He did not!” She squealed, eyes bright with mirth,

Bruce smirked, “Oh he did… before he stuck the paper down with some plasters, hoping that would hold it all together.”

Wiping a tear from her eye, Starfire shook her head in disbelief, “That is most hard to believe. Beside Raven, Dick is possibly the best in the team at wrapping wounds after battles.”

Bruce eyed her, amused, “Well of course he is… after that little display, I had to teach him how to do it the right way.”

Starfire tucked her hair behind her ear as the last of the chortles flowed from her mouth, slowly feeling an ease in her chest, like a weight was lifting the longer Bruce kept the conversation going with her.

Maybe she hadn’t been entirely correct; maybe there was a chance that Bruce did approve of her and perhaps… he may like her.

“You sharing my embarrassing childhood moments with her, Bruce?”

Starfire beamed as she cast a glance over at the archway where Dick was standing, his arms folded over his chest whilst he leaned against the frame. He wore a smirk across his lips, like he already knew what they had been discussing.

“Me? Never.” Bruce told him in a somewhat stoic manner,

“Uh huh… sure you’re not.” Dick replied, pushing off of the wall to cross the distance before he took a seat just behind Starfire, one arm sliding around her waist and softly kissing her cheek in greeting.

“I’ve just been telling her about… skills you have now improved upon.”

Dick narrowed his eyes at his former mentor, “Is that right? Well, Star, would you like to hear some stories about Bruce?”

Bruce’s eyes widened slightly and he frowned at his son, “Don’t you dare.”

Starfire grinned and turned to her boyfriend, “I believe I would love to hear some.”

“Wait, wait… if you’re set on tarnishing my reputation…” Bruce paused and smirked, seeing Dick playfully roll his eyes in Starfire’s direction, “We’d best go and see Alfred for snacks.”

“You think he’ll be up for making his cookies?” Dick queried, getting up and offering Starfire a helping hand as well.

Bruce eyed the clock on the wall, “Hmm… I don’t know… it’s a little late.”

Dick grinned and laced his fingers with Starfire’s, “Maybe but I have a secret weapon with one hell of a puppy dog face.”

Starfire laughed, a tinkling sound amidst the brief silence in the room as walked towards the kitchen with Dick on one side and a smiling Bruce on the other.

And for once in all the times she had visited Wayne Manor, she actually felt like she could relax and that her presence was welcome, rather than tolerated. She felt like she belonged, even if it was just a little bit.

But, she decided it was something and that feeling could only grow in the future.

Robstar week Day 2: Stardust

I actually enjoyed writing about today’s prompt, even if it was a little different. Hope you enjoy!

Finally.

Kory floated carefully down the stairs; her gaze fixed upon the nursery door. She had finally gotten six-month-old Jake to sleep, and Mar’i was safely tucked in tight in the room next door. Everything seemed perfectly set up for a good night’s sleep, but Kory swore her children could sense when their parents relaxed.

She reached the bottom of the stairs and let out a sigh of relief. Perhaps tonight Jake would allow her sleep for a little more than two hours. She entered the living room and found her husband focused on his laptop, piles of paper crowding the little coffee table where he worked.

She came up behind him and draped her arms around his neck, her head resting on his shoulder.

Kory kissed his cheek. “What are you working on, my love?”

Dick absentmindedly stroked one of her hands, not taking his eyes off the screen.

“Stuff.” He replied tonelessly.

“Stuff.” She repeated. “Care to elaborate?”

“Uh-huh. Love you too, Star.”

She sighed. He was in one of those moods again, fully concentrated on his work. And when he got started, it usually took him a good couple of hours to snap him out of it again.

Kory leaned in close and whispered in his ear. “Well, I suppose I could not kiss you for a week. Perhaps then we could talk about “stuff.”

“Yeah I’ll be up a sec.”

She groaned, finally resulting to drastic measures. “Then I expect to see you at my wedding next weekend. I am leaving for Tamaran in the morning.”

She started to walk away, but Dick caught her hand and pulled her onto the couch, catching her so her face was inches from his.

“And who is this suitor who dares to steal you away from me?”

“I believed you were not listening.”

“I am now.”

She laughed and kissed him. “Perhaps I shall reconsider.”

She rose herself up to a sitting position and rested against Dick’s shoulder.

“What is this?” she questioned. “This does not look like a case.”

It’s my will.” He replied.

Kory’s eyebrows creased with confusion. “Richard, ‘will’ is a grammatical function used for the future-tense.”

He laughed. “Yeah, but a will, the physical thing, are like instructions on when you die.”

“When you die?” she questioned.

“Yeah, it tells the lawyer or your family what to do with your money and possessions. Like here in this section, this delegates who will take custody of Mar’i and Jake if something happens to us.”

“You are implying that something will?”

“No, it’s just a precaution. It’s good to be prepared.”

“Ah.” Satisfied with his answer, she squinted to see the screen. “So who did you put to care for our children?”

“That’s what I’ve been trying to figure out.” Dick mused. “I don’t know who would be best suited. Bruce is the closest living relative, but it doesn’t create the most ideal living situation, especially if the kids are still young.”

“Why not Rachel and Garfield? They live close enough to Gotham so they can visit Bruce daily, and it would create a steady home environment. Besides, I am certain wherever they live, they will have many people caring for them.”

Dick looked at her with surprise. “You’ve got a point there. Maybe you should write the will.”

“Or just let me into that fortress you call your mind occasionally. What does this section address?” She pointed to a small paragraph near the top of the screen.

“Oh, that just instructs on how we’re going to be buried.”

“That is easy.” Kory stated. “We shall have a traditional Tamaranean funeral for warriors.”

Dick raised an eyebrow. “And what exactly does that entail?”

“Simple. Our bodies will be burned in the Furnaces of Glorthrog the All-Seeing, and after a glorious play will be depicted of our deaths by the royal theatre in front of the entire planet. Then we shall be carried to the top of the highest mountain and a Zobgar will be sacrificed in our honor. And finally, our dust shall be released into the universe. And then—” she stopped at Dick’s expression. “What is it?”

“It’s uh, definitely unique. You sure we can’t just have a quiet, normal Earth funeral?”

Kory scrunched her nose with distaste. “You mean placing the dead in wooden boxes and leaving them underground to rot and disintegrate?”

“Well when you put it that way—”

“You do not prefer the traditions of my beloved planet?” she accused, Dick quickly releasing he was about to lose a fight with his sleep-deprived wife.

“I didn’t mean it that way!” He defended himself. “I just meant, that uh, maybe it’s not the best thing for Mar’i and Jake to watch.”

Kory’s expression softened. “You are correct. It would not be wise to have them rewatch our deaths.”

“How about we compromise?” He proposed. “We can have a funeral here on Earth, with tombstones so they can visit us, and then our ashes can be sent to Tamaran so we can be nuked into space and whatnot.”

“Alright, I concur.” Kory smiled, but her eyes told Dick a different story.

“What’s wrong?” He asked, his full attention now focused on her.

“It is…sad. To think about what will happen if we someday pass unexpectedly. To think what will happen to the children.”

“Yeah, it is.” He agreed. “But it’s just a precaution. It’s not like we’re planning on it. It’s very unlikely to happen.”

“It was unlikely for our parents as well.” She stated dejectedly while avoiding his gaze.

“Hey,” He took her face his hands. “Look. I can’t promise that it won’t happen. But we’re going to do everything we can to make sure it doesn’t. And on the very off chance that it does, we’ve already set up a plan for Mar’i and Jake. We’re not leaving them to fend for themselves, okay?”

“I do not wish to lose them, Richard. I could not bear it.”

He pulled her into a tight embrace as she rested her head against his chest. He stoked her crimson curls, watching her shake ever so slightly. Dick was well aware that in their line of work, they could be killed at any moment. He didn’t like the thought of leaving their children anymore than she did, but worrying themselves to pieces on the worst possible outcome wouldn’t do them any good. No one ever won at that game.

“Enough of this will nonsense.” He said, closing the laptop. He scooped up Kory off the couch and threw her over his shoulders.

“Richard, wha—?”

“No more tears for tonight. And you can’t go to bed until I get a smile out of you.” He spun her around in circles across their living room, her laughter driving out whatever gloom had been there before.

“Richard, s-stop!” she shrieked before they finally both collapsed on the couch, breathless with laughter. Dick slid an arm under Kory’s waist, appreciating the amusement that had crept back into her eyes.

“You okay in there, Princess?”

“I am now.”

“Good, because I’m looking forward to an evening alone with you.” He pulled her into a kiss, both lost in the moment until Jake’s faint cries reached their ears. Kory groaned.

“Well, you, me and Jake.” He decided. “Don’t worry, I’ll get him.”

He rose from the couch and was about to make his way to the stairs when their six-year-old daughter appeared around the corner.

“Mommy, Jake is crying.” Mar’i stated, clutching a stuffed elephant.

Dick gave a stern look. “Young lady, you’re supposed to be in bed.”

“But Jake is awake.” She pouted. “Can I stay up too? It no fair!” She stuck out her bottom lip and pleaded with the largest puppy dog eyes she could muster.

Dick sighed and looked helplessly at Kory, who was trying not to laugh.

“Come on my little bumgorf.” She said. “One last story for you and Jake before bed.”

Dick picked Mar’i up and swung her onto his shoulders. “Come on, Starshine. It’s daddy’s turn to tell the story.”

“Oh yes, tell her the one about Larry.” Kory chimed as they ascended the stairs to Jake’s room.

“I’m not telling her about Larry.”

The laptop lay forgotten on the table below.

_____________________________________________________________

It was unusually cold on Tamaran that night. Despite her supposed increased tolerance to cold weather, Mar’i shivered. She struggled to climb over the craggy rocks and jumbled vegetation to reach the top. She didn’t feel like flying tonight.

She slipped and would have fallen flat on her face if her brother hadn’t of caught her.

“Careful.” Jake said, breaking the silence between them. “Are you sure you don’t want me to carry that?”

Mar’i sighed. “Sure.” She relented the urn she carried to her brother. “We’re almost there anyway.”

Jake took her hand and smiled softly at her, guiding her along the way. Even if he was her annoying younger brother, she always found comfort in his strong and steady presence.

It was a breathtaking view as they reached the top. The cloudless sky opened up to reveal multicolored planets and comets, with billions upon billions of stars.

“You ready, Sis?”

Mar’i looked over to see Jake cradling the urn, his eyes staring straight into hers like he could see into her soul. There was no hiding anything from this guy.

She felt tears prick her eyes, and Jack enveloped her in his arms.

“I know,” he sighed. “I miss them too.”

They stayed that way for a while until Mar’i released his hold, wiping her eyes.

“I’m ready.”

She helped Jake lift the urn above them before turning it on its side, releasing the contents into the air. The ashes poured out like mist, like shimmering dust.

“Goodbye.” Mar’i whispered, feeling Jake put his arm around her shoulders. “I miss you.”

The ashes seemed to dance, chasing itself higher and higher in the galaxies above. The stars seemed to shine brighter. Despite herself, Mar’i smiled, seeing them both released into the universe.

And into the stars.

Robstar Week 2019 Day 6: Children

Since most people are probably going to create something about Mar’i or Jake (which I’m super excited for by the way), I wanted to go a different route with this prompt. One of my favorite parts of Robstar (versus DickKory) is how the cartoon really did a good job portraying the teen part of Teen Titans. To celebrate the youth the cartoon had I’m sharing some of my favorite panels from the comic book that was paired with it. These are from Teen Titans Go Issue #38

robstar week 2019: day four

day four! hell yeah!! we’re about halfway done with robstar week! if you’ve been keeping up with my other prompts, @samdraws715 and i chose to collaborate on prompts this year where she drew the artwork above and i wrote a fic surrounding the art. i think it’s a pretty neat way to collaborate tbh :’) all art credit goes to her! overall, i like this prompt, but there’s some parts of dialogue that i’m kind of on the fence about. whatever, there’s some good fluffy robstar in it so i hope you all enjoy that!

Fever

“Aw dudes, no way! Why did it have to rain on the night I did my hair! Now it’s ruined!” Beast Boy complained as the titans stepped into OPS after a mission of fighting Dr. Light in the rain.

Raven watched Beast Boy and examined the wet green hair on his head. “Looks the same to me,” she said as she walked past him.

“Hey! It may look the same but hard work goes into my do every day!” The changeling explained as he put a hand to his hair and slicked it back. “I don’t know what I’d do without my good looks,” he said confidently. “Also, is it just me, or was the rain like, way cold?”

“Tell me about it,” Robin walked in squeezing the water from his cape. “It’s freezing,” he said shivering.

Cyborg walked into OPS next, feeling cheerful. “I’m glad we got home quickly, otherwise I would’ve had a lot more oiling to do for my robotic parts. I feel as good as ever!”

“Glad you’re feeling good, Cy, but I’m still soaked!” Beast Boy whined. “Luckily, the is a problem that can be easily fixed,” he smirked before morphing into a dog and shaking the water off his hairy coat, splashing water everywhere.

“Augh! Beast Boy!” Robin said as he shielded himself with his cape.

“Way to go, now the room’s all wet,” Raven said as she lowered her hood.

“Aw come on, it’s not that bad,” Beast Boy told them while morphing back to his normal form. “Besides, at least I’m dry! And it sounds to me like you guys need a movie night to cheer up!” Beast Boy said as he hurried to the glass cupboard under the television to find a movie for them to watch.

In that moment, Starfire came into the room holding a stack of towels. “Friends, would you like some towels to help you dry off?”

“No thanks, Star, I’m already dry,” Cyborg gave her a smile.

“Yeah, I’m good too, thanks Starfire.” Beast Boy said as he kept digging through the pile of movies they owned.

“Robin? Raven? Would you care for one?” Starfire asked them, holding out the pile.

“Actually, that doessound nice.” Raven took a towel and wrapped it around herself. “Thank you, Starfire,” she smiled.

“Yeah, thanks, Star.” Robin gave a warm smile at her in which she returned.

“Oh, dudes, we’ve got to watch this one!” Beast Boy said excitedly as he held up a movie. “We haven’t watched it in ages, plus, since when was the last time we watched a comedy?”

The titans got comfortable on the couch and put on the movie as the rain still continued to pour from outside. Everyone was laughing and having a good time except for Robin. Despite having the warm towel still wrapped around him he was still cold, and, quite frankly, a little tired. He tried to close his eyes for a few moments but the occasional shivers he’d get kept him from doing that. He wasn’t sure if it was just because of the usual cooler temperature of the OPS room but he ultimately decided to just sleep in his own room. He turned to Starfire who sat on his left. “Star,” he whispered.

“Hm?” Starfire turned her head in his direction.

“I think I’m just going to sleep for the rest of the night.”

“Oh? Are you tired?” She inquired.

“Yeah, very, and a little cold too.”

“Would you like me to go with you?”

“As much as I would like that, I think you should stay here.” Robin softly explained as he stroked the side of her arm. “I wouldn’t want the others to think we ditched them just so we could be together.”

“Hm, that is true. I can see how they might think that if we both left together.” Starfire paused for a second. “I will join you once we are done?”

Robin smiled and nodded. “Definitely,” he tilted her head slightly and captured her lips in a short kiss. He then glanced over to see the other three titans on his right side and made sure they weren’t looking to see him leave. He quietly got up and made his way to his room without any of the others noticing.

Once in his own space, Robin changed out of his damp uniform and into a loose t-shirt and shorts. He climbed into bed and wrapped himself up in the covers and blankets that lay on the bed. He felt much better and felt a lot warmer. Apparently, a good night’s sleep was all he needed.

The next morning, however, Robin felt even worse than before. He turned to his other side hoping to find Starfire there but she wasn’t in bed with him. He sighed. He hadn’t seen her since the previous night and even then he still didn’t feel a hundred percent.

His throat felt dry, so he reached for the glass of water he put by his side the night before and drank from it. He put the glass down after only a few sips, noting the uncomfortable feeling he had in his throat whenever he tried to swallow. He must’ve had a sore throat. “Great,”he thought. “just when things couldn’t get any worse.”Robin, only seeing it as a minor setback, put on a fresh set of uniform and headed out into OPS, continuing on with his morning.

Robin found the others in the OPS room just as he expected. It was just another typical morning for the team. He was about to go find a spot on the couch next to Cyborg and Beast Boy when Starfire approached him first. “Robin!” She said cheerfully. “Did you sleep well?”

Robin rubbed the back of his neck. “Yeah, kinda.” He then remembered the events of the previous night. “You didn’t come to sleep with me?”

“What?” Starfire said confused. “I did, however, you looked so peaceful sleeping I did not want to disturb you.”

“Huh. I don’t remember you being next to me at all last night.”

“Yo, Rob! Glad you’re finally awake after all this time. C’mon dude! I could use another partner!” Beast Boy piped up from the couch as he waved his controller in the air.

Robin smiled at Starfire before departing and made his way to the couch. He took a breath through his mouth and exhaled, feeling quite hot. He sat down next to Beast Boy who was eagerly waiting for him.

“Me and Cy are playing this round, but whoever wins, you’llbe versing him.” The changeling explained.

“You’re goin’ down, grass stain!” Cyborg told Beast Boy.

“I dunno Cy~” Beast Boy teased. “You lost the last three rounds and your chances here are looking pretty slim.It seems that the video game Gods are in favour of me for a change!” He said confidently.

“Yeah, yeah, less talk, more playing!” Cyborg interrupted his rambling.

Robin watched the two of them start their match with tired eyes. He didn’t understand why he felt so tired again, and the irritation he felt in his throat certainly didn’t help. Hoping the boys wouldn’t notice, Robin laid down on the side of the couch, trying to ignore the itching feeling in his throat.

“Robin! Robiiiinnn! Robin, wake up!”

Robin slowly opened his eyes, which stung badly. He rubbed them and saw Beast Boy and the others around him. “Where… am I…?”

“Uh, on the couch? Right where you were just a few moments ago?” Beast Boy told him, hoping it would jog his memory. “It’s literally only been five minutes.”

“Are you okay, Robin? You haven’t been acting like yourself all morning.” Cyborg asked.

Robin sat up, feeling drowsy. “Yeah… why?”

“You don’t seem fine.” Raven said. “your temperatures appear to be fluctuating.”

“W-What? What do you mean?”

“Hmm…” Cyborg began. “I think I’m picking up what you’re putting down, Rave.” He turned to Robin. “Close your eyes and breathe in.”

“Why?” Robin gave him a look.

“Just do it.” Cyborg groaned.

Rolling his eyes, Robin did what he was told, but he barely had time to do so before Cyborg shoved something into his mouth. Robin recoiled backwards and Cyborg took the object out of Robin’s mouth. “What was that for?!”

“It was just a thermometer.” Cyborg said as he looked down at the reading.

“But I’m not even sick!” Robin exclaimed.

Cyborg looked back up at Robin. “You’re right, you’re reallysick.” Cyborg said as he waved the thermometer in the air. “103 seems pretty high to me.”

“Let me see that.” Beast Boy took the thermometer from Cyborg to read it himself, with Raven and Starfire on either side of him. The changeling’s eyes widened. “Woah, that is high, dude! Are you sure you’re feeling okay?”

“For the last time, I’m fine. I hardly ever get sick.” Robin told the others before a short pause, followed by a small sneeze and sniffle which came from him. The other titans exchanged looks, obviously not believing him.

“How do you even suppose he got sick?” Cyborg asked. “Ya think it had something to do with the rain last night?”

“If you’re saying rain gets people sick, then I’m staying out of it.” Beast Boy exclaimed.

“Rain itself won’t get you sick, colder temperatures do.” Raven cut in. “Rain is just water, but colder temperatures can weaken the human immune system, which can cause people to get sick.”

“And it was cold last night…” Beast Boy said as he rubbed his chin.

“If he has a fever, it wouldn’t be a total surprise if he also has a sore throat, since body temperature also rise when it’s fighting an infection…” Raven continued.

“You guys know I’m still here, right?” Robin interrupted. “This doesn’t make any sense… how come I’ve never seen of you guys sick?”

“Maybe…” Cyborg started. “because they’re from another planet,” Cyborg pointed to Starfire and Raven. “he’s got a different genetic code,” he pointed to Beast Boy. “and I’m part robot. Basically, you’re the only one of all of us who’s fully human, which is why we’re immune to that stuff.”

“Lucky… I’d do anything to get better.” Robin groaned.

“Then it is a good thing you can get better.” Starfire said as she picked Robin up bridal style and held him in her arms.

“Star?! What are you doing?” Robin asked as she walked toward the doors leading out of the OPS room.

“We are going to get you better as soon as possible,” she said with determination.

“But I-“ Robin started as he looked back to where the other titans were standing.

“No buts, Robin.” Starfire interrupted him. “If you wish to get better, you must admit that you are sick and not resist on getting healthy.”

Robin didn’t know how to reply to that. “O-Okay…” was all he could say as he let Starfire carry him away to his room.

Once they arrived there with Robin back in his bed, he got under his covers once again and looked back up at Starfire. “I do feel better just lying down, but now what do I do?”

“You don’t need to do anything, beloved. Let me take care of you.” Starfire kissed the top of his head before departing, not giving enough time for Robin to reply in time.

“Wait! Seriously?” Was all Robin could say in time. A few short moments later she came back with at least three different blankets and pillows, which she handed to him.

“You might as well get comfortable, Robin, because you won’t be leaving this room for at least little while.” Starfire told him.

“So I’m just supposed to stay here until I get better? All by myself?” Robin asked as he laid out all the blankets on top of him.

“Of course not, I can stay with you for as long as you want.” She reassured him.

“Are you sure? I don’t want you to feel like you have to stay just because I’m sick…”

“You silly, you being sick is the reason I wantto stay.” Starfire said as she unfolded one of the blankets and placed it on top of him. “Now wait here for a moment, I will be back with something else.”

Robin watched her leave and was left by himself to think. He really wish he wasn’t feeling so crappy, but he was super grateful he had such a caring girlfriend who wanted to take care of him. He perked up a little when she returned with a box of tissues and a hot mug.

She placed down the tissues on the bed and held out the hot mug. “Here, drink this.”

“What is it?” Robin asked as he sat up a little.

“It’s herbal tea,” Starfire said. “Raven taught me how to make it. She said it’s good for illnesses like yours.”

Robin took the mug from Starfire and let it sit in his hands for a moment. He blew on it before taking a small sip and swallowed it, liking how the the warmth of the liquid soothed the back of his irritated throat. He took a few more sips in peaceful silence as Starfire watched contently. After the last sip, he lowered the mug and exhaled, obviously having enjoyed drinking the tea.

Starfire softly giggled at that. She always found her boyfriend to be undeniably cute doing little things that he didn’t pay much attention to, just the little quirks that made Robin his adorable self. “How does that feel?” Starfire said with a smile still on her face.

“Much better, thanks for that.”

“You are most welcome.” Starfire said. She then looked at Robin’s bed. “Could you move forward please?”

“Yeah, sure,” Robin said, thinking Starfire would add another pillow to the pile he already had which propped him up, but instead of a pillow, Starfire shifted onto his bed and ended up behind him, with him laying in her arms along with the pillows as well. He was surprised, and looked up at her from where his head rested on her chest. “I hope you do not mind me joining you.” Starfire said.

“No, it’s perfect, actually. I like this a lot…” Robin said as he let his head fall back, his eyes meeting with hers. “Thank you, Star, I really appreciate this. You didn’t have to do all this, seriously, I could’ve just done this all on my own, and you could’ve saved some time as well.”

“You are not wrong, Robin, however, you know how I like to spend any extra time I have with you, even if it is helping you recover from an illness.” Starfire told him. “I care about you deeply, and I would do anything for you, you know that.”

“Of course I do. I’d do the same thing for you too, even though you can’t really get sick.”

Starfire giggled. “No, not necessarily.” She reached down and ran her fingers through his messy black hair.

“But I would do anything for you too, you know that right?” Robin asked as her stared into her gleaming eyes.

“Yes, I do know,” Starfire had nearly chuckled as she laid a hand on Robin’s cheek, which he leaned his face into. “And I am glad to have someone who cares just as much for me as I do to them.”

“Me too, it feels nice to know that.” Robin said as Starfire continued to run her fingers through his thick hair. She did so in silence for a moment longer, absolutely loving the way Robin pushed into her touch. She knew he wanted more, and he knew she knew it as well.

“Feels good?” Starfire gave him a look as she watched his face as she continued.

“Mmm, very.” Robin nearly sighed. He took her hand that was on his cheek and kissed it twice before stroking it with his thumb. “My princess…” he said lazily. “I love you so much.”

She smiled and leaned forward, leaving a kiss to his forehead. “I love you too.”

The two of them continued to lay together in bed until eventually they both ended up falling asleep together, feeling happy to have each other, always.

You’ll have to get out of bed eventually. You both do. You have a team to lead and she’s got to play her part in it. But for now, you give yourself a pass to be selfish, and you cup her face into your hands and you kiss her so deeply you don’t even know who is breathing for whom. And that’s how you let your day begin.

Robin opened his eyes from his sleep feeling ready to start a new day. However, today wasn’t like any other day. It was special. He turned over to Starfire who slept peacefully on his right. He admired the soft features on her face for a moment before he leaned in and kissed her cheek. “Good morning, beautiful.” Robin lazily spoke as he moved his head into the crook of her neck.

It didn’t take long for him to feel a hand run through his thick dark hair. He looked up and found her awake, giving him a tired smile. “Good morning, Robin.”

Robin smiled at how angelic she looked in that moment. He moved his hand to her hair and tucked it behind her ear. “Happy Anniversary, Star.” He nearly whispered.

“And to you as well.” Starfire said as she gazed into his blue eyes.

They leaned closer to each other and closed the distance between their lips with a kiss. It lasted for a good couple seconds, and despite it not being a longer moment it was still a blissful one. Robin melted into her touch, but broke the kiss to resist his desire to go any further with her. As much as he wanted to, they had plans.

Starfire hummed. “You do know our anniversary is not until tomorrow, right?”

“I know, but we leave for Tokyo today, and by the time we get there it’ll be the next day. Just thought I’d round it up.” He paused for a brief moment. “Plus I’m kind of excited for it all.” Robin admitted.

Starfire sat up in bed as well, stretching her limbs and yawning. “I am excited for it as well. I wonder of all the things we will do while we are back in the city.”

Robin chuckled. “I guess that’s the best part of just winging it, not to have a plan or know what to expect. We’ll just have to find out ourselves.”

Robin and Starfire gathered their things together as quickly and quietly as they could, without wanting to wake up any of the other titans, considering the sun hadn’t even come up yet. The sky was a dark blue but it was evident that the morning sun would be well on its way in an hour or so.

Two years had passed since Robin and Starfire shared their feelings for each other in Tokyo, and since then a lot has happened for the young couple. Obstacles that tested them and their relationship, but no matter how bad things had seemed or had gotten, whether it was a crime or a personal issue or a fight they had, they always came out stronger in the end and their bond had deepened into something much more than just teenage love, and Robin felt it.

Another change that was evident was that Robin was drifting away from the whole ‘Robin’ persona. He knew he wanted to become his own hero that wasn’t constantly associated with Batman, but he hadn’t really touched on it that much other than thinking about it from time to time on his own and with a brief discussion about it with Starfire. She was the only one on the team who knew he was even considering this change. The whole idea was still in the early stages, though. As of then, he still went by Robin. Though he would miss being known as Robin in some way, he knew it was time for a change soon.

However, he had more important matters with his girlfriend to attend to, and he was feeling pretty excited about the fact that they were on their way back to the city where their journey as a couple had first started.

It was crazy to think about how far they had come since that day two whole years ago. Time had gone by insanely quick.

Once they reached Tokyo, the sun had only just risen over the city. However, it was the next day, which meant that their anniversary was already that day.

Being on a team meant to protect the city, Robin and Starfire could only afford a single day away from their regular schedules. As much as Robin wanted more time with her, they could only be this far from home for so long, which is why Robin and Starfire decided to cherish every single moment together.

They made the most of their time together and greatly enjoyed each other’s company. They talked of the memories they shared together when they first visited, and even went back to the place where they had their first official kiss and shared a kiss in the same spot once again. Tokyo was magical, but the whole journey of their relationship was even more magical.

Once the night had cast over the city, millions of stars had littered the night sky, twinkling like many tiny lights. Tokyo was also lit up with city lights as well, and only added to the wonderfulness of it all. Robin and Starfire were now with the T-ship atop of a small hill quite a bit of distance from the city.

Robin and Starfire sat down on the edge of the hill and admired the view. Robin glanced over at his girlfriend, who was contently staring out at the view. He then looked away and focused on a tree which was further down the hill. He took a breath through his nose and exhaled.

Besides the trip to Tokyo with Starfire, Robin also had one more thing planned in celebration of their anniversary. The thought of it made him a little nervous. He started planning it many months before, and it was constantly in the back of his mind, especially whenever they were together. The other titans knew that Robin and Starfire would be gone that day, but for next part he had planned, he hadn’t told anyone.

“Hey, Star?” Robin spoke, breaking the silence at last.

“Yes, Robin?

Robin felt warmth instantly flood through his body. His breathing became uneven but remained calm enough to continue speaking. He rubbed the back of his head. “I- uhm… there’s something else…”

Starfire tilted her head. “Which is?”

“Uhhh… just- just give me a sec.” Robin said nervously, feeling like an awkward idiot as he stood up and dug around for something in his utility belt.

Starfire stood up as well and watched him with curious eyes, wondering what he was looking for.

It only took him a brief moment longer before he pulled his hand out, holding something in his closed hand. He looked up at Starfire once again. “Can I have your hand?”

Starfire held out her hand and Robin took it. She watched him place the object in her hand. Once Robin released his hand from hers, Starfire brought the object back to herself, and opened her fingers to reveal the object in her palm.

Starfire was surprised to find that it was a gold ring with a single purple jewel in the center. Her eyes widened and she looked up at her boyfriend. “Robin? What is-”

“It’s a promise ring, Star.” Robin told her before sucking in another breath and exhaling. “I just…”

Starfire watched him, feeling even more curious than before.

“I just… I really care about you, Star.” Robin began. “You really mean a lot to me, and this… this feeling, it’s only grown after all these years. And, when we started dating, it just reaffirmed all the good things I already thought of you. No words can describe how much you’ve changed my life, and how far I’d go for you.” Robin paused. “I love you, Starfire, I really do. The way I feel has only become more intense since we first met. I can feel it.”

 Robin took her hands and held them into his own.

“It’s true we’ve had our fair share of fights and struggles throughout the last two years, but honestly, I would never want to trade those moments for anything. I’m not sure about many things I do, but one thing I amsure of is us, and if I’ve learned anything being your best friend and boyfriend, I know that I wouldn’t want to spend the rest of my life without you in it.” Robin looked into her eyes and cracked a small smile. “That’s why I’m promising to always be there for you, Star, no matter what happens or what will happen.”

Robin nearly welled up with tears when he saw Starfire’s face, with tears already threatening to spill over. She had never felt this happy and loved in her entire life, she didn’t even know how to react. She felt her tears finally fall and roll down her cheeks, and nearly laughed as she wiped them away. “Richard…”

Robin couldn’t prevent the smile on his face from showing any longer. “I take it you accept?”

Starfire had let out a laugh once more. “Of course!” She hugged him which he didn’t waste any time returning.

Her arms were draped over his shoulders. “Oh, Robin, I truly cannot thank you enough for making me feel so incredibly happy. I do not even know what I have done to deserve this.”

“Really? You don’t think being my girlfriend has anything to do with it?” Robin asked Starfire with a smirk.

This caused her to laugh again. A red hue settled on her face, making her all the more beautiful to Robin. “Robin…” She rolled her eyes playfully.

“C’mon Star, you don’t have to do anything special for you to know just how much I love you. I’ll just show you how much I do anyways.”

Starfire hummed and got closer to him. “Well, I hope you know that I love you just as immensely.”

“Oh believe me, I know.” Robin said as he pulled her even closer and captured her lips in a kiss, closing the distance between them.

It was passionate but well earned. It lasted for a few moments before the two teens pulled apart, looking into each other’s eyes.

“Oh! Robin, if you gave me a ring, then we must get one for you as well!” Starfire told him.

“Oh yeah.” Robin perked up. “I totally forgot I had two of them with me.” Robin said as he pulled his out from his utility belt. “I thought it went well with yours, so I bought this one just for the sake of it.”

Robin showed her the ring in his hand and he wasn’t kidding about the two rings going together. Like Starfire’s the ring was gold, but instead of a purple jewel held a red one. Her eyes filled with wonder. “Oh Robin… it is absolutely beautiful.”

 Starfire took the ring from his hand and examined it in her own before a smile crossed her face. “May I?”

Robin was surprised but couldn’t help but smile at the thought of the gesture. “Of course.”

Starfire took Robin’s right hand and put the ring on his ring finger. She stepped back and smiled, admiring how it it looked on him. “I think it is perfect.”

“I think so too.” Robin said as he brought his girlfriend closer to him once more and kissed her cheek.

Starfire giggled before she rested her head on Robin’s shoulders as he held her close. “Thank you for toda, Robin. Everything was wonderful.”

“Of course, Star. I’d do it all again if I could.” Robin said as he hugged her for a moment. When it broke he looked back into those gorgeous eyes of hers. “C’mon, we should probably get going now.”

Starfire nodded and looked back once more at the view before them. “Oh, I will miss this place. It’s come to have a special place in my heart.”

Robin couldn’t agree more. “Me too. We should definitely come back again.”

Robin and Starfire walked back to the T-ship. “Honestly, now I’m just wondering about all the questions we’ll be asked from the others.”

Starfire thought for a second before nodding. “Agreed, I feel as if they would be most curious to know of all the details.”

Robin smiled. “Yeah. Well, at least at this point I feel prepared for anything, especially when I’m with you.” Robin said as he held her hand and laced their fingers together.

Starfire returned the smile. “As do I.”

Robin and Starfire continued to walk towards their ride home, feeling hopeful for what the future had in store for them.

robstar week 2019: day two

Stardust

It was a beautiful but quiet night in the city and Robin stood still on the tower rooftop admiring the city lights and hearing the noise of it from the distance while the small waves crashed against the rocks below. He sighed feeling content with how things currently were. He had great friends that he could rely on, an absolutely amazing girlfriend, and though despite having to save the city and sometimes the world every so often, he wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.

It became quieter, and, now that she was on his mind, why not continue to immerse himself in his thoughts of her.

She’s absolutely beautiful, both inside and out.

He adored her positivity and optimism even in tough situations, and believed in your best self. She was kind and very brave, and god, was she stunning.

Robin smiled to himself and sat down cross-legged and he leaned his face into the palm of his hand, just thinking about all the memories they shared together. He closed his eyes and recounted some of them in his head.

One of his favourites that stuck out was on a night where he was just not in a good mood, and usually whenever he was feeling some emotion he’d clear his head and watch the water crash against the rocky shore like he had done earlier.

On that night though, he was on a lead with a case and it ended up turning into a dead end, meaning all those hours of studying and searching were pretty much useless, so he escaped the quietness of his work room to get some fresh air. That night the atmosphere looked exactly as it currently did now.

When he was out that night, however, Starfire had eventually found him alone and stayed with him for a little while before asking him if he wanted to go fly with her.

Robin remembered being confused as to why she asking, but after she explained that it helped her to clear her head and that the flight helped her relax, he agreed, and seeing as how well them flying together turned out on missions how bad could it have possibly been, right?

However, when Starfire lifted into the air, she gradually became higher and higher, and it was to the point where she was nearly as high as the first layer of cloud were scattered across the night sky. It felt as if they were nearly as high as the stars in the night sky.

Robin laughed thinking back on the moment. He remembered being afraid of being that high, since they had never travelled that high just the two of them before and the the distance from the ground freaked him out a little.

After reassurance from Starfire saying that she wouldn’t let him go, Robin was able to relax a little more and after going a little more lower, they were able to enjoy a peaceful flight with the gorgeous bird’s eye view of the city and the gleaming water which led up to it.

In the moment, Robin did admit to himself that it was relaxing. Seeing everything he already loved from a different perspective was interesting and spectacular to look at, and it was even more amazing experiencing that with Starfire. He felt safe with her, and no matter what, their flights were always memorable.

Thinking back on it, that was one of Robin’s favourite memories with Starfire so far. Although, he had to admit that all their memories were great to him, but with this one he just thought back on, he felt so secure and safe and he still ended up relaxing in the end of it all and also saw an amazing view of the city and the nighttime with her. It was a combination of many things that made him happy.

In the end of it though, Robin cherished every moment he spent with her.

He reopened his eyes and found everything just the same as they were when he closed them. The twilinking city lights in the distance, the faint waves crashing against the shore, and the warm crisp summer air. He took a breath through his nose and exhaled, taking it all in.

Just then, he heard the door to the balcony open behind him and turned around to see Starfire emerge from it. “Hey, Star.” He gently smiled at her.

“Greetings, Robin. Why are you out here at this time?” She asked as she came by his side.

“Just clearing my head.” He replied. “I thought I should just come out here and relax.”

“And how is that going?” She turned her head towards him.

“Pretty great, actually. Tonight’s a beautiful night.”

“Agreed, the atmosphere is mesmerizing. I can see why you come here.” Starfire said as she looked out at the view from the tower as she took Robin’s hand into her own.

Robin turned his head towards the contact and looked at her for a brief second before smiling once more. “Hey, Starfire?”

“Yes, Robin?” She looked over at him.

“I just wanted to say thank you.”

“Thank you?” She questioned. “What for?”

“For everything.” Robin started. “For all the memories we’ve made together, both good andbad. No matter what’s happened or what willhappen between us in the future, I would never want to trade those memories for anything.”

Starfire warmly smiled at his words feeling deeply moved. “Oh, Robin, I feel the same. I thank you as well. Since the day we have met you have made me feel so happy and cared for. I am so incredibly lucky I am able to call you my best friend, and my boyfriend.” She told him before she brought his face closer to hers and kissed his cheek. “I would not even dream of giving up the memories we have made together for anything else either, and truthfully I cannot wait for whatever happens next, whether it be good or bad. As long as I am doing it with you, that is all that matters to me.”

“Aw, Star…” Robin said before hugging her, in which Starfire wasted no time in returning it. “I love you so much.” Robin said just above a whisper.

“I love you too.” She replied.

“C’mon, it’s getting late now,” Robin started as he broke the hug but held onto both her hands. “How about we head inside for some sleep?”

“Mmm… I think I’d like that.” Starfire lazily smiled at him.

They continued to hold each other’s hand as they made their way inside the tower together.
