She blinked. “I know. Yours don’t.” There was an undercurrent of humor in her voice. She smiled. “It was a bit weird to me at first, but I’m used to it by now.”

"Weird to you?" he asked with a small chuckle. "Guess this is a whole new planet for you."

“Yeah, it is,” she said. “It was a lot to take in, and there is still a lot I do not know. I like learning about it, though.”

"There's definitely a learning curve." He rubbed his hands together, an old habit that he hasn't kicked. "You're catching on quick, though."

Raven stared up at her ceiling, wide awake. Insomnia was hitting her hard again, she knew she would get nightmares if she slept, anyways. She stood up and put on her cloak, the hood down and around her neck.

Starfire smiled. “Thank you!” She felt a little tired but didn’t want to leave yet so she didn’t say anything.

"No problem," he said, turning when he heard the sound of Raven walking in her room. "Seems we might get another member to the party."

Starfire looked up as well. “That is cool,” she glanced at him to make sure she had used the word correctly. She wondered what Raven was doing up. Maybe they all had insomnia tonight.

Winston snorted. "You're hanging out with Beast Boy too much."

Starfire shrugged with a giggle. “Maybe.” He liked being able to make him laugh. Besides, Beast Boy was fun to hang out with.

"He ate 3 pounds of tofu last night in one sitting," he said, shaking his head in disbelief. "Beast Boy barely weighs that much."

Starfire laughed again. “True,” she acknowledged. “But he is a good friend.”

Oof, I want to say that the one thing I changed was that Raven was aromantic. I forgot to.//

Raven walked down, hands holding a mug she had forgotten in her room earlier, oh well. She ignored the both of them as she headed into the kitchen to make some tea.

He watched her walk past them, snorting as she walked into the kitchen. "Good morning to you too, Raven."

Starfire glanced in the direction Raven had gone, a little annoyed she hadn’t said anything to them. She smiled a bit as well, still somewhat cheerful, before yawning. “Is it morning already?”

Winston chuckled lightly. "No, it's just an expression. It's probably around 1 or 2."

“Oh,” she said. “I thought it went by quickly.” She smiled, and yawned again. She was starting to be tired, but she wanted to stay here with Winston.

"You should get to bed, Starfire. It's getting late." He frowned in the dark, slightly disappointed.

“Why can I not sleep here?” she asked, feeling like the walk to her room was a thousand miles. She felt like a little kid who didn’t want to go to bed.

"I'll end up keeping you awake." The idea of her staying out here sounded great, but he didn't wanna sound like a creep.

She sighed. “All right,” she gave in, but didn’t make any move to go to bed. She closed her eyes for a long moment instead, getting more and more tired.

He chewed on the inside of his bottom lip for a moment. She looked beat. "Do you want me to carry you to your room?"

She opened her eyes, a smile flitting across her face. “You would do that?”

Winston shrugged. "Do you really not wanna get up?"

“If it is too much trouble then I can just walk,” she offered before yawning again. The milk and cookies had really worked.

He stood up and bend over, slipping an arm under her knees and the other arm put on her back for support. He was strong for a short guy, easily picking her up.

“Thank you,” she mumbled sleepily, wrapping her arms around his neck. She felt like she would fall asleep at any moment.
