3:37 AM

Wally woke with a start. Confused, he looked around the room, not knowing where he was. Then it hit him; he was in his bedroom at the cave. He had crashed their after a particularly nasty mission with the rest of the team.

He decided he wasn't tired, but he was, in fact, starving and threw the blankets off of himself. He pulled on a random t-shirt from the floor and went to the kitchen.

Wally smiled happily to himself when he discovered all the leftovers in the fridge. There was pizza, mac-n-cheese, chicken, pasta, and quesadillas. Many of his favorites.

He was already half way through the pizza when he heard a noise. He put everything down and listened hard. He heard it again. It sounded like someone was crying.

He quietly made his way to the living room where he heard the noise. As he got closer, he also heard the sound of the tv.

The sound on the tv was turned almost completely down and it was on the food channel. Wally's stomach growled as the lady on the television frosted a cupcake. Tearing his eyes away from the glorious food, he saw Artemis curled up on the couch. Tears streamed down her face as she slept.

Wally had no idea what to do, he had never even seen Artemis hurt by anything, let alone cry. He was torn by snapping a picture or by waking her up and comforting her. He couldn't help it, she just looked so beautiful when she was asleep, even if she was crying.

Get it together, Wally. You don't like her.

But the thing was, he was starting to think he did. Lately, he'd been noticing more and more things about her.

Like the way her long blonde hair swayed in the wind, or how she always cocked her hip out to the side, putting one hand on it whenever they fought. Or the way her grey eyes sparkled on those rare occasions she laughed at one of his jokes. Or even the way her voice sounded when she corrected him or called him "Kid Mouth".

He didn't want to, but he was falling for her. Hard.

He shook himself out of his thoughts and saw she wasn't crying anymore. He wondered what she had been dreaming about. He sighed and slowly walked over to her.

Wally hesitated, but then scooped her up into his arms. She was surprisingly really light. He carried her to her room and set her down in her bed, covering her up in the blankets.

He swiped away the last lingering tear on her face and started to walk away.

"Wally?" she croaked. "What the heck are you doing in my room?"

Crap. He was busted.

"I-I- I was just… um, I was just… You fell asleep on the couch and looked cold so I brought you back here. Sorry," he said not turning around to look at her.

He heard her yawn and shift in her bed. "Don't be," she said tiredly.

He let out the air he had been holding in, waiting for her to explode with anger.

Wally was just about to leave when Artemis stopped him again. "Hey, Wally?"

"Yeah?" he turned around to look at her now. She was curled up with the blankets pulled practically over her head and her eyes drooping with tiredness.

"Thanks."

The next morning was the same. They bickered and jabbed at each other just like always, but Wally swore he saw something different in her eyes. And maybe, just maybe, she was falling for him too.

Tell me what you thought please :)
