Cyborg went into the gym while the lights were dim everywhere but the weights as he saw the spikey haired teen benching more than his usual max. "You probably should have a spotter."
Robin grunted and put the weights back on to the metal with a little satisfying ting of metal upon metal. "I didn't have any problems." He sat up and rubbed the back of his neck with a white towel that was laying haphazardly on the chair next to the weights "What's up, Cyborg?"
"Just came to workout."
"Need a spotter?" Robin offered as he got off of the weight bench and Cyborg layed down.
"Sure, why not. Put everything on it." He smiled as the leader put every weight they had on the bar. "Am I set?"
The spikey hair teen nodded his hand and stood behind the bench ready to grab the bar if neccisary, although he probably wouldn't be much of assistance. "Go."
Cyborg started lifting in even movements and he talked casually as if he wasn't lifting such a hefty amount of weight "What's up with you and Star?"
Robin frowned "I don't wanna talk about it, we are just friends and that's it." He drank some water out of his red water bottle that was on the chair next the replaced towel.
"It doesn't look like that. You both act like ya'll are dating."
"Well we're not. Drop it."
"Robin-"
"I SAID DROP IT!" He snapped and sat on the chair placing his head in his hands with a big sigh "She deserves someone who has powers, someone who's great. Not me."
Cyborg put the weights on the rack "Dick, you know that you shouldn't beat yourself up over not having powers. You are the leader of this group, you have badass combative skills and acrobatic skills. All the girls want you, how come you don't let Starfire see this side of you."
"The angry side? She's seen it before. You all have."
"No... the soft side." Cyborg stood up and strecthed his robotic parts "I know you have one underneath all of this mysterious and angsty teen fascade."
"Whatever." Robin snarled and got up slinging the towel over his shoulder and drinking some more water.
"Look man, I'm just trying to help." Cyborg said defensivly.
With a sigh of defeat, the leader slung his head down. "I know that you all are trying to help. I just don't have time for anything. Starfire and I tried being together before, after Tokyo... things are just difficult."
"How so..." Cyborg lead on sitting back down motioning for Robin to do the same.
"It all just..." Robin began to explain the issues with him, saying how Starfire was perfect and she deserves better.
This lasted for 30 minutes before he let one tear roll down his pale face. He wiped it off and finished his sentence "Do you see now?"
The part robot teen smiled sadly "I understand that you have alot of confidence issues and trust issues. Star can wait for you, but not forever. All of us, as in the team, want to see you two together because you guys are perfect for each other. She brings out the best in you."
"I know." Robin said with his leader voice.
*************************
"Friend Beast Boy?" Starfire stuck her head into the Ops room as the green teen was playing some racing video game on the big screen tv right in front of him. "May I do the talking with you?"
"Uhhh... sure, Star." He huffed as his green hand tapped the pause button on his beloved game "Whassup?"
Starfire sat indian style on the sofa and began to nervously tap her two pointer fingers together as she tried to think of the right words to say. "I think I make the team the 'uncomfortable'."
