The lights finally started to dim and Wally could see the dust that was rising. Wally sneezed and smiled at Artemis as she glanced at him, "You sure you're alright?"
"Yeah babe, I think I just have something against dust."
"Come here," Artemis reached out and gently laid her hand on Wally's forehead. She didn't flinch at the heat that came from her boyfriend's head, he was usually warmer than everyone else, and he didn't feel any different than he normally did. "Are you sure you're okay?"
"Yeah, just allergies," he turned and coughed into his elbow. "I think I have something against dust."
"I'm pretty sure you do, are you sure you want to stay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine with staying."
He smiled at her and attempted to cover another cough. He didn't last much longer, it was only half-way through when his nose was running so much that he started wiping his on his sleeve. Artemis shot him a look of annoyance, he smiled innocently at her before once again sneezing. Artemis shook her head and turned to finish watching the rodeo. They had come down to Texas for a mission and since the mission had gone well they had decided to spend some time sightseeing. Right now they were at the Fort Worth stock-yards watching a rodeo where the first indoor rodeo took place. She hadn't expected there to be so much dust and she certainly hadn't thought that it would have bothered Wally, he normally was immune to this kinda thing. It took about two hours for the rodeo to end and by that time Wally stood almost no chance of being able to breath through his nasal passages. Wally smiled innocently at Artemis as they were walking out of the stadium, "How about we go back to the hotel and you can get some sleep?"
"Sounds…" Wally sneezed, "Good."
They walked back to the hotel and by that time they got there Wally had sneezed twenty times and he used his sleeve as a tissue every time. By the time they were back at the hotel Wally looked worse, his eyes were red and irritated and he was having issues breathing. They walked past the lobby into the elevator and took it to their floor. The second that Artemis opened the door Wally sneezed again, she sighed and reached for tissue from the bathroom. "Here," she said as she handed it to him, "and take your jacket off, I can wash it downstairs for you."
Wally slipped off his jacket after he blew his nose. He sneezed again and frowned, "Hey Artemis, why do they put the only tissue box in the bathroom, what if someone was in the bathroom and someone else sneezed and needed a tissue."
"I don't know Wally, I do find it interesting that you think about pointless things like this."
"Hey, it's not pointless, it is annoying though."
"Sure Wally, sure."
"You're actually agreeing with me, are you sure I'm the one who needs the tissue box."
"That's the only reason why I am agreeing with you."
"Oh," Wally said before lapsing into silence, rarity for the red-headed speedster. Artemis walked over and once again laid her hand on his forehead and shook her head. She walked over to the bed, "Come over here, you really need to get some sleep." He glance at her and replied, "Are you sure I'm actually going to be getting sleep?"
Artemis just rolled her eyes in response and patted the spot next to her again. He walked over and lied down next to her as she grabbed the remote to turn on the T.V. Wally started off just lying next to her, but eventually his head ended up in her lap after the third episode of mythbusters. "You know Artemis I feel better now,"Wally said as he looked up at his girlfriend.
"I figured," she said looking at how much he improved, his eyes were no longer red and hadn't needed a tissue for a whole episode.
"Did I ruin this for you?" Wally asked guiltily.
"No, just next time we do this you are taking allergy medicine," she smiled at him and combed her hand through his hair.
"Sure," he said as he began falling asleep.
