Robin sat with his back pressed up against the wall in his room, at the cave. He ran a hand through his hair, pulling some of it as he still thought those things. It was his best friend, one of them, he shouldn't feel that way. She already had someone to love her, and it wasn't him. She couldn't like someone with black dull hair; she wanted bright red, looks like happiness, hair. She couldn't want blue eyes that had seen so much, experienced so much. She liked the bright green ones, which screamed laughter and kindness. He wasn't that, so why did he still have these thoughts!
Reaching up he grabbed the mask and pulled it off, letting it fall on the ground next to him. His eyes had tears in them, he wished he could be the one that she loved but he wasn't. His friend didn't know it but he knew Wally cared about Artemis just as much as he did. He would have to live with that pain his whole life.
But he would be lying if he said it didn't bother him when Wally said something bad about Artemis. Every time he wanted to jump up and defend her, punch Wally, and ride off in the sunset with Artemis. Ok maybe he was dreaming on what would happen, but cut him some slack, he was in love. He was the one there for her, comforting her, making sure she was ok, being a person in her civie life that was a friend. And all Wally was, was a stupid speedster that hurt her and called her names. He knew he didn't mean it about Wally, it was his best friend! But he was hurting and couldn't bare to think about that goddess with a guy like Wally.
Don't get him wrong Wally is a good guy, but not enough for Artemis. He just wishes she would notice him enough to see how much love he held for her.

On the other side of the mountain sat a blonde haired archer, lying on her bed facing the wall thinking of one boy. She knew Robin was Dick, she wasn't stupid, and she liked him a lot. She loved how he cared for her, talked to her about everything, made her feel tingly, just being with him made her happy. She knew she loved him and she wished he would just come over to her and kiss her, how she wished she could taste his lips and feel them on her own.
But she could see her best friend liked him. Two of her best friends, both Babs and Zatanna liked him, and she wasn't needed in that department. She was just the friend, a person he could talk to about anything, not a girlfriend, not a person who he held and kissed. It killed her when she saw Zatanna kiss him on New Years, but she didn't get to see much of that because Wally had already grabbed her and kissed her.
Wally was a good guy and she might have even been able to like him, but she couldn't get Robin off her mind. After New Year's everything went back to normal it seemed, except Wally thought they were dating and Robin and Zatanna were dating. She had to watch Zatanna throw herself at Robin as she tried to let Wally down.
But she couldn't do it. In time she could learn to love Wally, or maybe he would be lucky enough to find love with another. But she would never be able to be with the one person she truly loved.

Both teens sat in the mountain hurting on the same exact thing together, but yet they were so far apart it felt like a whole other world was there. They never did get to be with who they wanted and in time it became apparent they never would be together, so they stuck their head up high and smiled, and laughed, and pretended to be happy. Because were they really hurting together if they were this far apart?
