Raven let her hand trail along Starfire's cheek. The waxing moon was one night away from a full moon, and glimmered brightly on the calm water of the bay. Yet again, Raven found herself on the roof of the Titan's Tower. However, she was smiling slightly as she gazed at Starfire. Starfire had found Raven meditating after the heady battle against Chaos and asked if she could join her. Of course, Raven agreed. The day had slipped quickly into night, and Starfire had pulled Raven to sit next to her on the edge of the roof. "I have always enjoyed looking at the stars," Starfire murmured. She lay down, resting her head on Raven's thigh. She looked up and smiled at the sorceress. "But I believe I enjoy looking at you more," she said, blushing a ridiculously adorable pink. Raven smiled at her and passed her hand over Starfire's green eyes. Starfire fell asleep easily with little help from Raven's persuasive magic. The sorceress smiled at her fortune but paused when she heard footsteps. Robin sat down next to her as he had done earlier that day. He looked at Starfire somewhat forlornly and heaved a sigh. "I guess I'll have to get over her," he muttered. "There's nothing I can really do to change her decision." He stared down at the water, gazing at the reflection of the moon. "I'm not sure I really expected her to...well, I didn't expect her decision was going to be to be with you." "She never said anything about a decision," Raven sighed in turn. "She said that her feeling was right. If her feeling means she cares about me, then I can't say I'm unhappy about it." Robin nodded slightly, not willing to look up and see Starfire with Raven. He honestly knew that he was terribly jealous, but there wasn't really a way around that. He stood up to walk away and stop tormenting himself. "Robin?" Raven inquired before he could get too far. "Yeah?" he replied. "I understand," she murmured. "And I'm sorry." "I know," Robin rumbled softly, almost sadly. He walked back into the tower and left the two girls to their own business. Raven looked up to the moon and smiled faintly. As Starfire turned in her sleep and mumbled, Raven smiled even more. "Raven," Starfire said in her sleep. A faint smile also graced her lips, and Raven felt purely content. -end-
