A/N Hey I'm on a plane so this isn't much of a note, but enjoy.
Why?
The team rest of the team was out. Robin was with Batmen probably and Aqualad, Connor and Megan had gone shopping. Well Kaldur had gone grocery shopping Megan had dragged her boyfriend to the mall. Artemis was sitting on the couch thinking about nothing when Wally asked the question.
"Why?" Wally asked Artemis all of the sudden.
"Why what, Baywatch? Be specific." Artemis snapped at him for no reason. She immediately felt bad, but didn't apologize. Apologies mean weakness, Artemis didn't do weak. All Wally did was walk over to the couch and sit down observe her, then he answered her.
"Why do you hate me? I mean I know I can be a stupid sometimes, but do I really deserve for you to hate me?" Artemis was absolutely shocked she didn't hate Wally, quite the opposite. She had always believed that he hated HER, for taking Speedy- Red Arrow's spot on the team.
"I don't hate you Wally, why would you think that?" She turned to him just in time to see Wally's happy and hopeful face before he averted his face from her. He finally faced her grinning sheepishly. "Well your just sort of… distant and I don't know, well, why would you like me, a red head who annoys you." Artemis was absolutely floored… wait did he say like as in like-like? She had liked Wally for a while now and felt well, she felt ecstatic.
"OK, first off you're not annoying, sometimes. Secondly, did you just admit that you are both stupid and annoying sometimes, because I'm not objecting to that? Thirdly did say that you like me?" At the last part she was staring at the floor to hide her blush. And at that moment when Artemis asked that question, Wally knew what he needed to do. He scooted closer to, her put two fingers under her chin, looked her in the eye, and said, "Yes."
Then he kissed her. He cupped her face in his hands but eventually put his hands on her waste. He savored the taste of her strawberry and vanilla chap stick. After her initial shock she returned the kiss and snaked her arms around his neck. When they pulled away for air they kept their foreheads together. Artemis raised an eyebrow and said, "Did you know that I have a thing for red heads?" Wally's reply was simply a smile and he kissed her cheek.
"So… I'm hungry wanna go get dinner?" Artemis raised her hand and slapped him upside the head "We just kissed and that is all you have to say!" She yelled.
"Think about what I said Artemis." Wally Retorted, suddenly realization dawned on her, "oh"
"Wallace Rudolph West," Wally groaned at his full name, "did you just ask me on a date?"
"You know it, Blondie. P.S. That actually hurts ya know! Anyways, let's go, I'm thinking Mexican" Artemis just laughed at Wally and agreed to Mexican.
Well I don't know about you but being on a plane is quite stressful. Well five reviews please.
