Holding the remote in one hand, Robin's thumb kept flicking a certain button on the device. Every flick resulted to a change of channel and none of them really caught his attention. Sighing deeply, he decided to just turn off the darn thing.

He massaged his temples, regretting what he did, as he heard the bickers of his two semi-childish team mates. The two have been going at it for a while now and they didn't give him any hint that they have the plan to stop.

"Dude, I am telling you we need to play this new version of Mega Monkeys! They've totally added some of the coolest stuffs in gaming history ever!"

"No way, grass stain! Not until I give this 'Need for Speed' video game Bee sent me!"

"Mega Monkeys!"

"Need for Speed!"

"Mega Monkeys!"

"Need for Speed!" That's it.

"Can't you guys just play both?!" The two looked at their vexed leader and laughed nervously. They were really trying their best to avoid his gaze. Realizing what he did, Robin pinched the bridge of his nose and exhaled, calming himself down.

"Can you please get along for a while? Just until the girls get back from their trip." Silence. He didn't hear any reply from them for a moment. At last, the two were at least reflecting on their actions.

Or maybe not.

"Oooh! I'm starving! I'm cooking steak tonight! Yum!" Cyborg broke the silence and headed towards the kitchen as fast as possible.

"No way dude! We're all gonna have tofu deluxe tonight!" Beast Boy followed suit and ran off to where the robotic teen went. Robin just face palmed the moment he heard their shouts once more.

"Steak!"

"Tofu!"

"Steak!"

"Tofu!"

Robin sighed, defeated. "Whatever."

His masked eyes trailed over to the counter. Standing up, he decided to just fix himself a good cup of his favorite drink of all times: black coffee.

A few minutes later, he was already holding his cup of stress reliever. He inhaled the intoxicating aroma of it and was about to take a delightful sip when the door to the common room banged open, revealing a squealing Starfire with paper bags on both hands.

Startled by what just happened, his body jerked, causing some of the hot coffee to spill on his bare hands. He suppressed his reaction and put the cup down, determined to know what's the cause for Starfire's behavior, while sucking the burnt part of his finger.

"Oh this is so exciting! I am very much happy for you friend Raven!! I could not contain it!" One of the infamous domino masked eyes quirked up. What just happened to Raven in their trip?

"Starfire, I told you it's nothing. I'm not going anyways. I need to meditate on that day." The alien princess' eyes started to tear up. "But why?"

"Why what happened in your trip? Weren't you two just shopping? Or is there something we should concern ourselves?" The girls looked at him. Starfire perked up and stood in front of him. She grabbed his hands and shook them.
