A/N: It took me a while to update, but I finally did it! Here is chapter 3, I hope you like it and let me know what you think!
"Friend Raven, Please!" Starfire exclaimed. "Come out of there, I beg of you." The redhead knocked earnestly on the wooden, painted door.
A single, narrowed amethyst eye peeked through the small slit in the frame. If she kept that up, the door was sure to open of its own accord. That cursed alien super strength...
"I'm coming in..." a sing-song voice chirped. When she got no response, Starfire flew silently under the changing room door and hid in the corner by the mirror. She tried her best to contain her giggles and keep quiet. She blushed when she saw the dark bird. Raven's pale, bare back and waist faced Starfire, the unzipped dress stopped just above the ample curve of her bottom, showing the natural indentations on her back, which Starfire secretly thought were sexy. Not that she'd ever admit it.
The petite girl nearly melted into the warm hands she felt tenderly brush her hair to her collarbone and zip up the back of the dress. "Thank you," she murmured. "That zipper is a real pain." She turned to face vibrant green eyes which widened when they saw her. The tight, curve-clinging dress was silver gray with blue violet trim that matched Raven's eyes, on the sides that merged seamlessly into the obi style bow that sat on the left side of Raven's tiny waist. The hangings from the silk bow perfectly framed the thigh split the stopped just at the top knot. It was an amazing gown that seemed like it was made for her and her alone to wear. Unbeknownst to anyone but Starfire, it had been. And it looked even better than she could have ever imagined it would.
"Wow...you're-it's...perfect," Starfire managed, hurriedly. They both blushed, not meeting each others' eyes. She cleared her throat. "...Perhaps I should get the matching shoes...?" Her eyes darted around the room as she paused, waiting for a response.
"Glorious, I'll be right back!" The alien felt a cool hand on her wrist.
"Starfire, wait," Raven murmured.
She paused, and temporarily floated to toward the ground. "Yes?"
"...Is everything okay?" Starfire's eyes darted downward, before she fake-smiled brightly.
"Yes, Friend Raven, everything is most wondrous." The purple-haired girl's brow knit, but she let her go anyway and decided not to push the issue.
"Alright, I'll take your word for it." I just hope this isn't about what I think it is, she thought to herself. Could she have seen me?
As Starfire floated away slowly she couldn't help but think about last night and what she had seen; it bothered her more than it should have, for reasons that it shouldn't. She could at least admit that to herself.
Starfire trailed down the hallway to the common room and kitchen area with excitement purpose. Perhaps now she could tell Raven, what she was feeling; she wasn't even sure what that was exactly. Was it normal to feel this way about your best friend? Starfire didn't know, but at the moment she didn't care. The alien couldn't help but feel a little giddy-she finally had found some special, someone worth it. Maybe Raven felt the same way. There was a chance-there had to be. The common room doors opened. She could hear muffled sounds and rustling.
"Mmm..." Was that Raven? The alien hid behind one of the sofas. Where was she? She moved toward the kitchen furtively, with her back pressed against the wall of open entrance and looked inside. There in the kitchen, propped on top of the countertop, was Raven, with the top of her leotard partially removed, her eyes closed, and her face flushed. Robin was in front of her, brushing her hair aside to kiss her neck, as his hands roamed her generous curves. He cupped her breast lightly as he kissed her. Starfire covered her mouth in an effort to contain her surprise. Just then, Raven let out a loud moan. She could feel her face turning red in shock and embarrassment as she watched the masked teen grind his hips against hers.
The Tamaranian wanted to look away, but it was as if she was frozen, transfixed on the scene. "Robin...I...Starfire, she's waiting for me," Raven pleaded in between breathy moans. Starfire snapped out of her trance. Robin pulled away for a second and looked deeply into her violet eyes.
"Raven, you two have been spending an awful lot of time together lately, should I be worried?" he teased, poking her in the rib. She blushed.
"No... Of course not, Robin, that's ridiculous," she huffed indignantly.
"I'm only teasing, Rae..." Kisses trailed along her forehead.
"Only as long as you're mine," he winked and suggestively snapped the bottom part of her leotard, at which both Raven and Starfire gasped.
"What was that?" Raven asked as her boyfriend's fingers froze momentarily. Starfire felt a drop of sweat fall down her forehead as she flattened against the wall. He took a step out of the kitchen and looked around into the darkness of the common room and for a split second Starfire could have sworn he locked eyes with hers. With that mask, she could never be too sure. She slunk back into shadows as she heard Robin say "Nothing, Raven."
Starfire slammed the door to her room, feeling tears trail down her face. She collapsed onto her bed. She didn't know what was wrong with her; she was just so...confused. The startling green eyes brimmed with tears, burning with anger, sadness, and heartbreak. And the alien couldn't help herself for some reason, crying over something she never even had, and would never be.
Raven pressed her back against the dressing room door and sighed. Shopping usually perked Starfire right up, but even that wasn't helping; Raven had even suggested that they go while they were meditating this morning. She had wanted to get something special for her big date with Robin, but she also wanted to cheer up her best friend. Now it seemed like she had a problem that even the mall couldn't fix. There was something the alien wasn't telling her and she knew it; she just needed to figure out what.
"Raven," purple thigh high boots and the bottom of a denim mini skirt appeared under the door. "I have returned." The girl slid under the door with ease. "Your new shoes, friend."
She examined them and the very high heel, but slid them on anyway. She knew the alien picked them out just for her. Starfire was impressed with her friend's grace and ability to carry herself in four inch heels. The complete outfit was amazing.
"Friend Robin will be beside himself when he sees you in this garment," the redhead admired. "I demand that you purchase this dress and I will not take no for an answer!"
"Okay... well, if you insist..."
"I will grab the perfect handbag to match and do the checking out while you change." She paused outside the changing room waiting for Raven to slip the garments under the door and flew off in search of a cashier.
As she slid on her casual clothes, a tight white v neck and black jeans (of Starfire's suggestion of course), she couldn't help but wonder: Am I living a double life? That was preposterous...outrageous to say the least. She shook her head. She could never do that to Robin and Starfire, could she?
Robin licked his lips, smiling at his fellow bird. "That was amazing, I could kiss you all night, among other things..." He trailed his hands down her leotard. "Do you want to?" She looked up into his eyes. "Come to my room with me..."
Looking down at the now melted cookie dough ice cream, "I...can't." She sighed. "Starfire-"
"Starfire, what, Raven?" he interjected, grabbing her shoulders. He held a slightly pained expression. "I know you still feel guilty about everything that happened, but you have to let it go."
Raven looked away for a minute. She said nothing in response. Then, he grasped her chin lightly to meet her eyes. "For us, Raven. For this relationship to grow the way we know it needs to, you have to, let it go."
Purple eyes narrowed. "It has nothing to do with that; this isn't even..." she stopped herself.
"So then what is it then?" the masked teen demanded. "Is there something I need to know?" Raven looked at him and pulled out of his grasp.
"No, nothing at all."
Raven padded quietly down the hall to Starfire's room after Robin cooled off. She punched in the code. The purple room was dark and there was a lone, lump under the sheets. The hooded figure crept over to her. Sweet, light snores escaped the pink lips. She watched for a moment as her full chest rose and fell.
"I'm not being fair to you or Robin. I know that..." Light breathing was her response. Raven smiled lightly. "I don't know if this is right-or if you even feel what I feel, I could be imagining this." She leaned down, cloaking the princess's moonlit face in shadow. Pale pink lips kissed Starfire's cheek right near the corner of her mouth for a few seconds. The enchantress moved away, her fingers to her lips in slight surprise. "I don't even know why I just did that..."
She paused at the door. "Sweet dreams, Star."
The two Titans exited the store together, joining the mall again. Raven peered at the outside the garment bag with her new dress and tried to inspect the receipt attached to it. "Custom fitting for-" The slip of paper was snatched by orange fingers.
"It's nothing!" she laughed, placing a wide grin on her face. Raven shrugged. "Why don't we go in..." Starfire trailed off looking around for a distraction. "There!" she pointed without thinking.
"The lingerie store?" Raven asked curiously, looking at her suspiciously. Starfire opened her mouth wide in a silent scream. Oh no, why did I do that?!
"Well, alright, Star..." If purchasing lingerie for her date would cheer her up, she supposed she could go along with it. The two were bombarded with frills, lace, and skimpy string-like undergarments as soon as they entered the store.
"I do not know what I was thinking... We should turn back now, yes?" Starfire cried desperately.
"You don't have to be nervous, Star," the purple-haired teen replied calmly. "I'll help you find something really nice for your date."
"My...date?" she stuttered in realization. Was that what Raven thought, that she just wanted to find something nice for the date? Starfire didn't know why, but it upset her.
"How about this, you find something you like for me, and I'll find something I like for you and we don't show each other until we have our dates?"
The alien princess looked up in surprise, that was something she probably would have suggested. She smiled to herself. Raven was really trying to cheer her up. She really cared about her after all.
"That sounds absolutely wonderful, Friend Raven," she said in response, in a way that Raven could tell she was genuinely touched. Rose colored hair and golden skin flew at Raven and enveloped her in a desperate embrace. She blushed as she felt herself start to get warm in a way she knew she shouldn't. Starfire pulled away a bit, smiling at her friend.
"Come on, let us get to work!" She flew off, tossing clothing racks in her wake. Maybe she didn't need to know. Starfire would tell her when she was ready.
By the time they returned to Titans Tower, they were exhausted. Raven felt more drained than she had after a full day of training exercises. For some reason shopping always did that to her, but she went anyway, because she knew her best friend loved it. They had collapsed in a giggling heap for a moment on Starfire's bed. She decided she wanted to go over her purchases and try them on in her mirror in her room in natural light. Raven waited patiently on the bright purple bed spread, giving appropriate input as the Tamaranian girl chatted as she proceeded to find the perfect outfit among her new skirts, crop tops, mini-dresses, boots, and heels. She tried to ignore the way her breath would catch every time the bra and panties clad orange skin was revealed between outfit changes. How her eyes wonder linger just a little too long. When Starfire finally thought she had it narrowed down to five outfits; she playfully told Raven she was "free to seek out her Boyfriend Robin." Perhaps she would. She needed to talk to him and tell him the truth.
After safely depositing Starfire's new lingerie in the bottom of her closet, Raven found herself hesitating at Robin's door. "You know I can hear you breathing out there." Suddenly the door opened of it's own accord. "I'm sorry," he said bowing his spiked head a bit. "I never meant t-to insinuate-"
"Stop. Please... I forgive you." She gave him a small smile. "Okay?"
"Okay," he sighed in relief.
"I'm sorry, too." And she really was. She didn't know how, but she was going to try to keep making both of them happy. She felt a bit torn like she was in two relationships at the same time, but that was crazy. She and Starfire, weren't like that-they couldn't be. They were just friends. All of a sudden her expression turned dark. "Now...get in there..." she murmured, pushing him into his room, with a surprising amount of force.
"You don't have to tell me twice!" he picked her up, closing the door after them.
