Righteous Darkness: HELLO WORLD AND ALL WHO INHABIT IT! :D
Girl you never knew: Stop stealing from SpongeBob! :(
R.D: Hey, you wouldn't have known that if I hadn't told you. :P Just explain who we are…
Girl: Fine. So I recently got Righteous here obsessed with YJ. And we found the Artemis/Robin pairing very interesting and we were sad that there weren't very many. :(
R.D: So we were like hey, why don't we co write this pairing?
Girl: So here we are! We are a little out of our forte in this area, mine being Percy Jackson…
R.D: And mine being Adventure Time :D Feel free to check out our stories after ya read this one. So on to disclaimer! Robin, will you do the honors? *whispers* I love you…
Girl: Stop being such a fan girl R.D! Besides I love him more!
R.D: Yeah, I think I'm the one who is more expert on his personality…and besides I'm the one who has his posters…
Girl: What?
R.D: Nothing.
Robin: uh…..*I'm just gonna not "gard" that…*They own nothing.
Girl: Although owning just Robin wouldn't be too bad. ;)
R.D: HE'S MINE, FOOL! Oh and Robin is 14 in this fic and Artemis is 15. :D
I watched her from the viewing area. She kept hitting and kicking the punching bag, using different moves. Not that I was staring. Her breaths suddenly became raspy and sweat glistened on her tanned skin. Eventually she stopped, probably to get a glass of water.
And for once she let her hair down, free of her usual long ponytail. God. I couldn't help it. I quickly took a picture, ignoring the voice in my head yelling "Stalker!" Hey, who knows whether I would see it like that ever again? She quickly tied it back up and continued beating up the already torn punching bag. Then she looked up.
~Artemis~
My limbs were screaming to stop kicking and punching the worn out bag but I kept going. I would have sparred with a real person, but Superboy and M'gann were off on a date, Kaldur was working and Robin was off who-knows-where. Suddenly I felt someone watching me. I looked to the viewing area but no one was there. Weird. I decided to end my work out and take a quick shower, slightly disgusted on how much I was sweating. I walked over to the showers and again felt someone's eyes on me. I swiftly turned to look around but again no one was there. What the heck? I decided to ignore the feeling, but of course I didn't let my guard down.
I stepped into the shower. The hot water relieved my sore muscles. The steam gathered around me, relaxing my usually tensed-up self.
After a while I stepped out, put some clean clothes on, and put my hair into a ponytail, totally ignoring M'gann's comment on why I shouldn't tie my hair up while it was wet.
I walked into the kitchen to get a quick snack before I went to bed. I looked into the fridge and found some of M' gann's cookies…surprisingly. Wally usually eats them all before any of us get a chance. I could almost hear his voice, after so many times we've all gathered around the counter and find only crumbs. "Hehe…sorry guys, y'know, high metabolism and all…." I rolled my eyes in my mind.
I grabbed a couple along with a glass of milk and sat down at the counter. I heard a faint noise, probably a chair screeching, and I instantly knew who it was. Of course.
"Robin, stop hiding." I muttered. I heard a low chuckle and suddenly an arm expertly and precisely came from behind and took a cookie from my plate.
"Will. You. Stop It." I growled through my teeth and gulped down the rest of my milk and made my way to the sink.
"Nope. Can't let you eat them all while Wally's gone…" He mused.
I stuck my tongue out at him.
"Real mature Arty." He said.
"Whatever." I said as I walked out of there, unsure of what was gonna happen if I stayed.
~Robin~
I saw her walk out of the room, her hips sashaying as she went. She had no idea the effect she had on me. Very whelming. But she could never like me. She was out of my league. Or she was in my league.
Why did they even call it a league if we're not even in baseball? Gah, stay focused Robin, I thought. You need help. And you'll have to talk to someone to get that help. I weighted my possibilities. Kaldur?
No, too serious. Superboy? I think he has enough of his own problems to deal with, mood swings, impulsiveness and all. And as if I could tell Batman, you know, with the whole "I only love justice" thing.
Which left me with only one choice.
Wally.
~Next Day~
I texted Wally to get his butt over to Gotham ASAP. I waited at a café, and as usual he was 10 minutes late.
"You know, for someone who can run at the speed of light, you're always late." I observed.
He grinned. "It's called fashionably late. So what's the big emergency?"
I tensed a bit. Should I tell Wally? I already decided I would. But apparently I didn't have to.
"It's a girl, isn't it?"
"Yeah…" I sighed.
"Well…..are you gonna tell me who she is?"
"Uh….we should probably order first." I said, signaling a waiter.
"What will it be?" asked the waiter.
"A slice of chocolate cake please."
"Forget a slice, just bring the whole cake." Wally said to the waiter. Apparently this guy hadn't had Flash as a customer yet, because he opened and closed his mouth several times before noticing how serious Wally was, and returning to the kitchen with the order.
"A whole cake? Seriously Wally?" I asked, after the waiter was out of ear-shot.
"Hey! I have a high metabolism." He defended.
The waiter came back after a few minutes and placed a 5 inch high whole chocolate cake in the center of the table.
"Will that be all for now?" The waiter asked, looking nervously at Wally.
"Yes, thank you." I said, before Wally ordered 100 muffins (Ya never know with this guy…) and he walked away.
After Wally had eaten a half a slice in one bite he asked, "So who is the babe? Do I know her?"
This would be hard. VERY not asterous.
"Yeah, you know her." I muttered.
He frowned a bit. "What do you mean?"
"I'll tell you, but first….. how do you feel about Artemis?"
"She's like my sister. Why?" He asked raising an eyebrow.
"No reason…It's just that, uh…I like Artemis." I whispered the last part.
"Huh?" Wally asked in disbelief.
"I like Artemis." I said a little louder.
"You. Like…Artemis?" He said slowly as he dropped his fork on his plate. I nodded my head yes.
Now he was doing an excellent impression of a fish out of water. I gulped nervously. HE was going to freak.
~Wally~
Robin…had a crush...on Artemis? I gaped at him. How the hell was this possible? She was the last person I would think he would have a crush on. And I had just called her a babe! Just no effing way…
"Earth to Wally?" Robin said snapping his fingers in front of my face.
"Why?...How?...When?" I asked bewildered.
"I've liked her for a while now. It's just that she's…she's amazing, witty, and beautiful doesn't even begin to describe her." He said. I paused, thinking about what to say next.
"Man, you have it bad." I muttered.
"Yeah I know. I wanted to make sure you were okay with it before…you know…" He said. I could figure out the rest.
I sighed in annoyance. I never thought this would happen.
"Dick. Remember she's like a sister to me so if you hurt her in any way you'll wish it was Superboy beating you up instead." I threatened.
"Jeez, As if I would ever hurt her intentionally..." Robin said, slightly pouting, but determined.
"Now… what has daddy Bats said about this mess?" I asked.
"Shit." He muttered.
"You haven't told him yet, have you?" I asked. I would have face palmed myself if it weren't for my hand being slightly covered in chocolate.
"Not exactly…."
~Artemis~
I lay on my bed in Mount Justice trying to finish my Chemistry homework. Which I could barely understand. I laid my head in my arms, defeated.
My thoughts wandered to an ebony haired boy wonder. His comebacks. How good he looked when he was fighting Kid Flash while training. His movements seemed so graceful, elegant, and precise. I thought about how good he looked in his uniform. Urgh! Stop it Artemis! Youcan't think about him that way. Batman would probably kill you if he found out.
I pulled the pillow over my head trying to stop the wandering thoughts.
'What's wrong?" asked Wally from the doorway. I hadn't noticed I left my door open. His voice seemed kinda tense, and I guessed he had just arrived from wherever he went in Gotham.
"I'm having trouble with my chemistry homework." I said blandly, barely lifting my head.
"I'll help." He said as he walked over to me where my chem homework laid sprawled out, filled with scribbles and eraser marks.
"Let's get started." He said.
~45 minutes later~
"Why is it so much easier when you explain it?" I asked.
"Cuz I'm awesome." Wally said, standing up.
I scoffed. "Yeah, right. Only in your twisted, messed up dreams."
"Oh, I'm way more than awesome in my dreams." He said as he turned to walk back with a wink.
I rolled my eyes as I threw a pillow at him. He dodged it and went back to his room, probably.
I shuffled over to where the pillow lay and tossed it back to my bed. I glanced over to the clock and noticed it was 10:45. Everyone was in their rooms.
I decided to get a glass of water before bed so I headed out to the kitchen. Wouldn't hurt to get some after that ridiculously brain exhausting stuff.
I grabbed the pitcher and poured it into a cup and took a gulp full.
"Hey there, Arty." Said a familiar voice. I almost choked and managed to spill a good amount on my clothes and the floor. Great…
"Robin..." I said annoyed.
"He… Sorry." He said meekly as he went over to get some paper towels. I took a few steps forward to the pitcher to refill my glass. From the corner of my eye, I saw him open his mouth to speak.
"Hey, I need to tell you s-"
All of a sudden I tripped on the small puddle at my feet. My body grew rigid as I braced myself for the fall, but it never came. Instead, I found myself wrapped in a strong pair of arms. I opened my eyes and looked up to see Robin. I could almost make out the color of his eyes through his shades. Blue? Or maybe….By impulse, I felt myself lean closer and him do the same. Our faces were mere inches apart now, centimeters…
Girl: Hope you enjoyed it! Tips and reviews would be awesome!
