One-shot. Artemis/Wally.
(Disclaimer: I own nothing of Young Justice.)
It wasn't my intention, you know? To fall in love. I never wanted this, but it did. And now all there is, is darkness, and it surrounds me… suffocating me. Why did this have to happen to me? Love is a weakness. It gets people killed. It blinds them, fools them into believing that something so perfect and pure is within their grasp. It's an illusion that people fall for constantly. Love kills you, why can't people just get it through their heads? Emotions are not allowed, they destroy you, they belittle you. They give you these false feelings that make you feel like you can do anything, anything in the world, and you are just fearless. But the person or the thing that makes you feel those emotions...make you feel like a goddess in their eyes, make you feel so cherished and loved that you're afraid that when they leave, they disappear… there's nothing left in your life for you that you can see. Because you're stuck in the past and the now, you don't want to look into the future without him, you couldn't even if you tried. Maybe that's why I was cold towards him in the beginning? He was a nuisance and continuously flirting, it just drove me mad. But he felt the same way towards me when we first met. It wasn't love at first sight, because I loathed him then and he returned the gesture.
Maybe all these sayings about love and emotions is wrong. After all, my father was the one who wanted to follow in his footsteps; but I didn't want to become like him. I wasn't like my family, a clan of former and current bad guys… I was a hero, and I eventually fell for the guy who I had previously disliked with every fiber in my being. It wasn't until New Year's Eve our feelings came out in the open to one another, and we had been together since then for the past five years. I was deeply in love with him, and he returned the gesture.
But, God! After working undercover with one of our friends to get rid of 'The Light'. I was so glad to see his face as he sped in, his red hair shining and green eyes sparkling with love and amusement as they rested on me. And when he hugged me and lifted me up in the air, spinning me around. I never felt so happy and content in my life, I never wanted to leave his side, again. It felt just like the kiss we shared in Paris hours later, it only strengthened my feelings and I'd be lost if he wasn't by my side, again.
I think the fates did it to spite me; because I ended up losing him, despite everything.
Review. Let me know what you guys think of this short one-shot.
