Megan wanders through the halls; it's one of those days when the team all decides to hang out at Mount Justice. She likes the company. Everyone was here today, well except Artemis. She was probably off with Green Arrow. When Megan waltzes into the kitchen she finds a mess and Wally in the middle of it.
"W-Wally!"
He turns to his name being called with all sorts of unhealthy foods being crammed in his mouth. Megan grimaces at the sight.
He took the time to swallow what he could before talking, "sup megalicious!" He says. She smiles, "What are you doing?" she walks in glancing around at the mess. "You've made a mess in here…"
He shrugs, "I got hungry." Then Robin, Aqualad and Superboy burst through the doors, Robin chirping with laughter.
"I smoked you on Super smash, Kaldur!" Robin gloats.
"… I already congratulated you for that, Robin." Aqualad states calmly.
"That game is dumb." Superboy pouts. He lost the quickest obviously.
Robin waltzes to the counter and leans an elbow on it. "I'm so awesome."
Wally snickers, "geez for a kid who's shorter than all of us you got one huge ego."
"Oh shut up," Robin says.
Wally quietly thinks to himself as he stuffs more food in his mouth. Suddenly Megan snaps her fingers, "Oh right! Wally, the dance! How did it go?"
Green eyes shot up to glare at the Martian.
Everyone's attention turned to Wally. It was in this instant Wally started to actually think to himself. He thought about the cold emptiness she left behind that night. Artemis was the girl who wouldn't take any guy's bullcrap… including Wally's. And he had to admit… No matter how hard he kicked and screamed he was in some sort of invisible grip. She was a battle and for some reason Wally didn't want to lose, he wasn't ready to give in, he would fight back. If she wanted to inflict this dull pain on him why shouldn't he be able to hurt back? So without thinking of the consequences, Kid flash ran his mouth.
"It was good. Artemis was all over me."
It all spilled out. The lies that is. He was gloating, telling fibs to make himself look better… And they were all about Artemis. The team listened intently, Megan smiling like she supported, Superboy blinking like he was listening but didn't care, Kaldur raising a brow wondering why this all seemed out of character, and Robin frowning, not buying any word of it.
"She kept begging and begging to dance so I was like, 'geez alright woman!'" He says stuffing a chip into his mouth. "She started going on about how my cologne smelled nice and what not. 'Oh Wally, your chest is so firm, I like running my hands along it' she says, or something like that. Then-"
"Seriously Wally?" A voice interrupts. The team turns to see who it is, and of course it is Artemis. She is standing in the doorway, legs slightly parted, fists clenched (one with her bag in her hand), and a defiant eye brow rose.
"A-Artemis!" the bubble is shattered and Wally finally realizes what he had done… Why did I say all that! He immediately wonders.
A deep sigh escapes those luscious lips.
"You are so pathetic Wally. Is that what you wanted to happen or something? Sorry but There is no way I'd be that desperate over someone like you. Stop lying and trying to make me look bad." She narrows her eyes.
"Making you look bad! More like good, since you come off as some heartless bitch all of the time I figured I'd give you a little emotion!" Wally shouts. He immediately regrets feeding the fire.
"You don't know shit about me!" Artemis stomps her foot and scoffs loud. "You never did! All you do is accuse me up and down for stuff you don't even know!" She places a hand on her chest and exhales deep, calming her anger.
"I knew coming here would be a bad idea. So I'm going pick up a few things I left and just leave, guys." She turned her back and started through the door before stopping; she glances back and looks Wally dead in the eyes. "Thanks a lot, you always know how to ruin a good thing." She then walks out.
Everybody's head turns to stare at Wally and he feels himself shrink in the stares. A snicker escapes boy wonder's lips, "I know you were lying."
"D-Dude shut up! It… wasn't all a lie… We did dance." He looks away blushing furiously, his jaw puckered.
"Did you beg her?" Robin chuckles. Wally raises his hand pretending he's about to backhand Robin, the thirteen year old merely laughing in response and leaping away.
Wally's eyes narrow as he watches the doorway. He then zooms through it, chasing after the spitfire.
"They'll make up." Megan says smiling hopefully.
…
Artemis gathered her belongings, getting ready to make her way home. The tension between her teammates would be too much to handle, and the added tension between her and Wally would be unbearable. The best thing for her to do now was run off and crawl back into her hole. With everything in proper place she swung her bag over her shoulder and stood up straight, her eyes fall upon a person standing in the doorway.
Wally's arms are folded and his frown is deep, his shoulder is leaned up against the edge of the doorway and he is glaring one of the deepest glares at Artemis. She bites her bottom lip and ponders why things can't ever be easy. She slides the bag off her shoulder and lets it hang on her hand.
"You felling smug?" Wally asks. Rude.
"…Maybe." Artemis replies. Cold.
She makes her way to him, hoping to just walk out that door and not look back, but things are never that easy, and Wally is especially stubborn. He stops in front of her, "I want to know what your problem is." He says, looking down (not too far because they're nearly the same height) at her. Her eyes meet his and she narrows them a bit. "Do you mean besides you lying to everyone making me look like some desperate dumbass. I don't have a problem, Wally, you do."
"Do I?" he says in a half laugh.
"Yes, you do! And if you think I have the problem it's because of you!" She scowls at him.
"Oho? Mind elaborating?" He asks, narrowing his eyes.
Artemis rolls her eyes and sets her free hand on her hip, "the very first day I came here you were on my ass with insult after insult, and you took every chance to remind me how much you don't want me here!"
"And that's bad? I'm being honest, and we don't need you. You know you say stuff too!" He says quickly.
"Well get used to me, fleet feet! I'm not going any were so just be a grown up and make do!" She sucks in some air, "and I wouldn't say stuff if you weren't such a jerk!"
"You started it with the insults, if I'm not mistaken." He narrows his eyes and recalls their meeting.
"Who wouldn't make a comment on your pathetic entrance? I was just playing around, and I know that's not why you're a jerk to me, it's because you have it in your dense skull that I replaced your precious red arrow! Well who cares! You guys didn't have an archer, and I worked hard to be on this team, including saving your butt from that droid in the school!" Her voice was raised and she was in bicker mode, almost like pheromones Wally's bicker mode went off as well.
"Oh wow, want a pat on the back for that! I don't care!" He hisses.
"Good! I don't care if you don't care! You get on my nerves so much, Wally West!" She retorts.
"You get on my nerves more, you cold hearted jerk!"
"I whooped you a few days ago; if I were you I'd keep my mouth shut!"
"Well you wouldn't be me then because that'd be the chicken thing to do!"
"I don't want to be you anyway! You're annoying, redheaded, and a jerk!"
"The feeling's mutual! I wouldn't want to be a stupid blonde, ice cold, bitch!"
Artemis dropped her bag and slapped the ginger across the face. Wally shoved at her shoulder. She shoved back. Wally grabbed her forearms and shoved her against the wall. Both stared at each other defiantly, right in the eye.
Then, it was like an explosion. Wally shoved his lips against hers, in an almost painful way. His knees shook violently as he tried to hold himself strongly against her. Making no haste Artemis kissed back, just as harshly, her arms yanking out of the speedsters grip and finding their way behind his thick neck.
They nipped and kissed and doused each other, both being so lost in the moment and slaves to the passion. Wally dragged his lips over her luscious pair, Artemis licked her devilish tongue along Wally's swelling lips and he granted her access. The kiss was now deepened and their tongues battled endlessly for dominance, sliding against each other and exploring every reach of their mouths.
Wally's hands gripped at Artemis's smooth and toned waist pulling her closer, and she retorted by gripping a handful of that red hair and tugging on it teasingly. Wally never imagined that this would happened, the thought dawning him every time they broke the kiss, gasping for air, only to get lost in each other's taste yet again. Finally Artemis gripped onto the boy's shoulder and pulled him away from her forcefully.
He scanned his enemy's appearance, from those swollen, slightly parted and red lips to her flustered and burning cheeks. Her eyes were wide and glaring at him. He knew his appearance didn't look any different from hers. In a flash the defiant little blond slammed her fist straight across the boy's face, making him blink several times before affirming the pain.
"OW!" He said grabbing his cheek, "what the hell was that for!"
"You… You kissed me!" She hissed, nose wrinkled in anger.
"Yeah! Well you kissed me back!" He retorts. She opens her mouth to say something but shuts it, knowing he is right. The two stand there, bathing in silence.
Artemis's hand goes to her forehead and she rubs it tiringly, confused at him and confused at herself. She says the only thing she can think.
"I still hate you."
"Yeah, right back at you."
They're quiet again. Wally rubs his neck. Artemis rubs her arm. Wally clears his throat. Artemis bites her lip. Their eyes meet.
Wally's head hits the wall as the girl throws herself at him, her lips smothering against his. He returns every kiss, holding the back of her head, pressing her into him. Their exchanged whimpers, smacking lips and gaping breaths become deafening and they go at it for a food five minutes. That is until Artemis yanks herself away and glances to the side, an expression like a deer in front of headlights. When Wally glances at what she's looking at his expression is the same.
Everyone is there. Robin, Aqualad, Miss Martian, and Superboy. Each one of them watching, quiet, and grinning. Megan lets out a giggle. "I told you they'd make up." Artemis grabs her bag and makes a run for it. Wally looked around nervously, and ran off too, the rest of the team now laughing.
The next mission the two of them would resume their arguments, and return to their teasing… but every once in a while, when no one was around, they'd challenge each other with kisses and hidden passion. Never admitting their actual feelings, but certainly acting upon it. They didn't need to say it, and Wally didn't need to admit it… Artemis was everything he needed. She was the opposite of heartless, this girl was filled with determination and passion… she took no mans bull. Artemis was Wally's spitfire.
~That was the last chapter! At last! Sorry, I didn't mean to drag this story so long, but I'm not very good at one shots. e_e Anyway I hope this ending was good, and if it's unsatisfying sorry, I had to end it some time! Thank you so much for reading everybody!~
