Just a cute Spitfire one-shot!
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"No!"
"YES GOD DAMMIT."
Wally and Artemis glared at each other from opposite sides of the table. The mission hadn't gone too well; Conner had been knocked out cold for an hour already, M'gann had a broken arm, Kaldur had lost the use of both his legs do to a paralyzing gas, and Robin had lost his mask.
It was supposed to be a simple mission, really. Bring down and capture an ice villain then report back to base.
But of course, because Wally and Artemis were in the middle of another one of their fights, things had gone…very bad.
"Your stupid arrow hit me!"
"Why didn't you just run out of the way, Kid Stupid?"
They glared at each other again. His green eyes narrowed but then a strange glint entered them.
"So, I take it that you do think I'm very fast? And smooth? Right, beautiful?" he drawled, and she shot him a look of loathing.
"No-o-o—" she drew out the word, a smirk forming on her lips.
"Admit it babe, I'm just too sexy for you," he winked, and the blonde rolled her eyes.
"You just have a really big head filled with nothing but empty air."
"Can we just finish this report so I can get back to the carnival?" he whined.
"Oh, shut up! This is all your fault anyway West!" she huffed, crossing her arms and looking away.
"Nu uh! Remember, your stupid fire arrow blew up the barrel behind me. That's why I tripped!"
"You tripped over your own feet! My arrow had nothing to do with your clumsiness!"
"It was your arrow!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"NO!
"YES!"
"NO!"
"YES!"
"Just shove it," Artemis muttered, looking back at the blank report that should have had her apology written on it.
Her hands stretched out to take the pencil, but a certain annoying teen snatched it up first with a grin. Her eyes narrowed as he cocked an eyebrow.
"I'm sorry, did you need that?" he asked with an innocent look.
"No," she spat, knowing her anger only made him more inclined to tease her.
Tossing back her head, Artemis folded her arms across her chest and gave him a defiant look. He pouted, and she smiled internally; he looked pretty cute!
"Don't be like that, babe!" he gave her that pout again, and she could feel her angry expression melting.
"Just hurry up so I can leave," she grumbled, casting a long look at Wally.
She got another pen from the table and messily wrote a random of crap that she hoped would suffice. Tapping her pen on her chin, she propped her head on her hands and let out a sigh. Her gaze slid to the side; Wally was staring at her with a warm expression.
Artemis felt her face grow hot; he never looked at her like that. She raised her head and gave him a quizzical look. Abruptly, his eyes widened and he looked back to his paper, writing furiously.
After a while, he pushed back his chair and left the room. Soon after, she left as well, clutching the paper in one hand. She handed it to Robin without another word, who gave her a hard look before exiting through the Zeta Tubes. Wally was standing there awkwardly, running a hand through his short red hair. Artemis suddenly felt the urge to run her hands through it; it was probably soft…
With a internal shriek, the blonde archer raised her gaze from the floor to Wally, who was staring at her again.
"What?" she demanded rather harshly.
"I was just admiring how beautiful you are." Wally said without missing a beat, his eyes locked with hers.
Her eyes widened; she couldn't seem to form a complete sentence. A dark blush began to spread across her cheeks, this was so not like her usual self.
"Carnival?" he asked, holding an arm out to her and cocking an eyebrow.
With a grin, she took it, and they walked away.
Should I make a second chapter? When they go to the carnival? ;D
