Happiness? Chapter 1

Robin paced back and forth, awaiting two members of his team to arrive downstairs. Beastboy sighed and slapped a hand onto Robin's shoulder stopping him dead in his tracks. Robin turned his head towards the changeling.
"Dude! Will you chill? They'll be down…like any second!" Beastboy reassured him, releasing his hand to allow the leader to pace, once again.


The three titan boys were standing in the Ops room waiting for the female members to arrive. The guys were dressed in very handsome tuxedos. The titans had been asked to attend the Mayor's charity ball as honored guests. Robin, for what seemed like the hundredth time that night, checked his watch. He heard footsteps from the hallway and in stepped Raven, "Cool it, boy blunder. We're ready." She said, rolling her eyes.
Beast boy's eyes widened as he noticed his girlfriend's attire for the evening. She was wearing a midnight blue dress which stopped at her ankles. The straps hung fittingly on her shoulders as a black, fluffy shawl surrounded her shoulders and forearms, clasped together with a Raven gem, similar to the clasp on her cloak.
"God, I hate these things…" She muttered in her mind.
"Rae. You look…hot!" Beastboy drooled, taking up placement next to the empath. He nudged her playfully in the arm.
"Thanks, Beastboy. You look…" She trailed off, placing her index finger on her lips, pondering for the right word.
"What? Handsome? Cute? Hot? Drop-dead gorgeous?" He asked, grinning and wriggling his eyebrows.
"Smart." She said, bluntly. She smiled slightly. He shrugged at the comment and kissed her gently on the lips, causing Raven to blush a furious red. When they pulled away from one another, Beastboy smiled in triumph.
"Ha! You're blushing! What makes this better, you don't have your hood to hide it, my darling…" He said the last part in a stuffy, British accent. Raven's expression turned blank and she huffed quietly. Beastboy chuckled to himself at his girlfriend's actions.
Robin finally stood forward and his expression was frustrated as he tapped his foot impatiently on the floor.
"What!?" She asked, as if she had been accused for something.
"Where's Star?" He asked, softly.
"She's-" Raven began but was cut short when the door opened. Raven smiled and pointed in the noises' direction. Cyborg, Robin and Beast boy's jaws slacked.


Starfire stood in the doorway smiling ever so slightly. She blushed slightly at all of the boys' attention. She was wearing a strapless, black dress which stopped at her feet. She was wearing black, shiny heels so she wouldn't tread on the long dress. Her hair was all straightened and flowed down her back, causing an illusion for her hair to actually be longer than it was.


Bumblebee who had been silently watching all the occurring in the last hour, stood and slapped the back of Cyborg's head.
"Ow. Woman what is your problem?" He asked, stifling a chuckle.
"My problem, Sparky is that your drooling over Star." She accused, crossing her arms.
"Oh come on, bee. You know you're my girl…" He whispered, kissing her lightly on the lips.
"I better be or I'm a whoop your ass." She threatened when the kiss ended. Cyborg chuckled and rolled his eyes.


Beastboy, who was still gazing at Starfire earned a punch in the arm for the darkest girl in the room.
"OW! Huh? Oh sorry Rae. Just…uh…admiring Starfire's dress…?" He tried to explain, sheepishly. Raven crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow,
"Uh huh…" She murmured, turning away and closing her eyes.
"Ach. Don't be mad, Rae. Eek!" Beastboy yelped, bringing Raven into a loving and pleading hug. She opened her eyes and blushed but rolled her eyes. "Fine, Fine. Just stop hugging me." She told him. He obediently released her and sat by her side.
"You look very nice, Starfire." Raven said, giving a small smile.
"Yeah Star. Honey, you look fine!" Bumblebee cheered.
Beast boy and Cyborg didn't dare compliment but simply smiled and nodded.
Robin shook his head to break himself away from the trance which he almost always seemed to find himself within. He coughed and blushed as he noticed Starfire looking towards him expectantly.
She lifted herself from the ground and floated over to the ebony haired boy.
"You approve, yes boyfriend Robin?" She asked, sweetly. She thought of teasing him slightly by twirling around, giving him perfect view of the princess front and back.
He smirked. He leaned forward and brought the tameranian girl into a tight and comforting embrace.
"Uh huh. I definitely approve…" He whispered, into her ear seductively. She giggled and let her palms rest upon his chest. He looked into her jades and puckered slightly, waiting to kiss her. She giggled and put her index finger on his lips instead of her own. A muffled, 'huh?' escaped Robin's covered lips.
"If we do not make with the haste, we will surely be tardy for the event." Starfire explained, letting her finger drop.
"Little Lady has a point. Let's go guys." Cyborg said, taking Bumblebee's hand in his own.
Beastboy grinned and held out his arm for Raven. She rolled her eyes playfully and took it, to her boy's delight. The other titans were out of the door before Robin could say a thing. Starfire turned in Robin's embrace and he reluctantly let his arms drop. She took a step but something took her hand. She turned back to see Robin, "Not even a quick kiss?" He pouted making Starfire laugh.
"Perhaps…" She whispered, leaning closer to the boy wonder's face. She pushed her lips against Robins and loved every second of the soft kiss. Robin's tongue glided over her bottom lip, asking permission for entrance. Starfire happily obliged and opened her mouth. Instantly, their tongues danced together. The sound of the car horn broke their kiss followed by Cyborg yelling, "Come on, guys!"


Starfire giggled whilst Robin let out a suppressed sigh. She turned once more and began walking down the hallway. Robin caught up with her and gently grabbed her wrist, causing her to turn once again towards his direction.
"Oh and Star?" He perked up.
"Yes, Robin?" She replied, innocently.
"By the way, I like your necklace."  He smirked whilst Starfire fingered the Necklace with her free hand.


A glimmering silver chain hung delicately around Starfire's neck. The object which gave more value to the necklace was the small charm which was slipped onto it. It was a small silver, R. In the top left corner of the letter, a little emerald was wedge into it. Robin had given it to her after they first started dating. She never took it off, never. She always wore it; In the shower, when she slept even when she fought crime, although it was usually kept safely under her neck protector so it wouldn't get damaged.


"Well, you should. You are the one who gave me it…" Starfire pointed out. Robin chuckled and took her hand and squeezed it gently as he pulled her out of the front door of the tower and guided her over to the T-car. Robin, being the gentleman he was, opened the car door for her. She smiled and kissed his cheek as she slipped inside. He kneeled closely to her as he spoke to the team and bumblebee, "Ok. I'll meet you guys there."


He kissed Starfire once more on the cheek and shut her door.


Starfire smiled slightly and buckled her seatbelt and glanced at the window. She noted Robin putting on his helmet and sitting himself on his R-cycle. She smiled shyly and held up her hand and rested it on the glass, twitching her fingers slightly to say bye.
Robin noticed Starfire's little action and held up his own hand and bent his own fingers back and forth in a small wave, smiling as he did so.
Both vehicles powered up their engines and made their way into the city…
