I don't own Young Justice or the song
All I want for Christmas is you
Wally walked tiredly home from the Christmas party that Zantanna had thrown at the hall of justice, thinking about Artemis and how much he missed her. It had been nine months since he had heard anything from her and he was worried that something might have gone wrong. He thought back to the conversation he had with Dick and gave a heavy sigh.
"I spoke to her yesterday. She said that she's doing alright. Sent some information for me to use."
"I just wish that she was here." Wally had said, his best friend placed his hand on his shoulder.
"I promise you Wally, that as soon as we can I'll get her out off there."
"You better because if anything happens to her Dick I'll never forgive you." Wally threatened, he heard Batgirl calling Dick over and told him that he was going home and left leaving Dick to flirt with 'his girls'.
Wally sat down in the park where he and Artemis used to eat their lunch in the summer and looked up longingly at the stars.
"If I could wish for one thing this Christmas, it would be that you could be home with me curled up in front of the pretend fire that I had bought for Valentines day and drink a nice warm hot chocolate." He whispered, he thought about the Christmas dinner he had promised to go to tomorrow at his uncle Barry's house and the presents that he would be getting from Dick, Tim and Alfred.
"I don't want a lot for Christmas, there is just one thing I need. I don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree, I don't need to hang my stocking there upon the fireplace. Santa Claus won't make me happy with a toy on Christmas day." He sang softly to himself as he watched a young couple walk by merrily singing jingle bells and laughing. Memories of Artemis singing with Megan at last years party filled he thoughts and he stood up and continued walking towards the apartment they used to share.
"I just want you for my own, more than you could ever know. Make my wish come true, all I want for Christmas is you. I won't ask for much this Christmas, I won't even wish for snow. I just gonna keep on waiting underneath the mistletoe." Wally sang looking up at a piece of mistletoe that someone had hung upon a tree branch and pulled it down. He smiled at the memory of their first kiss and the excitement of everyone to see that they had finally gotten together. (That's after they had all had their kisses.)
"I won't make a list and send it to the North Pole for Saint Nick. I won't even stay awake to hear those magic Reindeer click, cause I just want you here tonight holding on to me so tight. What more can I do? Baby all I want for Christmas is you." Wally was in tears now, he placed the mistletoe back up onto the branch and wiping the tears from his eyes and he continued to walk through the park. The sound of children filled the air and he smiled at them placing a dollar into the bucket that was sitting beside them.
"All the lights are shinning so brightly everywhere and the sound of children's laughter fills the air. And everyone is singing I hear those sleigh bells ringing. Santa won't you bring me the one I really need. Won't you please bring my baby to me." Wally gave another tired sigh and looked back up at the shinning stars.
"I don't want a lot for Christmas this is all I'm asking for. I just want to see my baby standing right outside my door. I just want you for my own more than you could ever know, make my wish come true. Baby all I want for Christmas is you." Wally was walking a little faster now, it had started snowing again and the cold wind was cutting through him like a knife cutting through butter. He fished out his keys to open the door and froze when he saw a woman in a long black hooded coat standing in his living room. He ran over to her and gave her a great big hug.
"Artemis! Your...how did you?"
"Black Manta gave me the night off. I told him that I had some business to take care off." Artemis explained, she leaned in and gave him a soft kiss.
"I've missed you so much." Wally whispered pulling her into another bone crushing hug.
"I missed you too." They stood for a few moments just enjoying each others warmth before Wally took off his coat and went into the kitchen to make them some hot chocolate. Artemis took of her coat to reveal that she was wearing the green Christmas dress that she had worn last Christmas. Wally turned around and almost dropped the mugs he was holding. Artemis sat down on the rug and waited for Wally to return with the drinks. Wally had so many questions that he wanted to ask her. Questions that he knew that Dick wouldn't answer. But as he saw Artemis sitting by the fire, he forgot about all of his fears and sat down next to her. He remembered the present that he had bought for her and quickly stood up and to get it.
"I have a present for you. I was going to pass it to Nightwing and have him pass it to Kaldur but seeing as your here." Wally passed Artemis a small box that had been wrapped in gold paper. She ripped off the paper and gasped, inside the box was a gold and emerald ring. Artemis looked up and Wally unsure off how she should respond.
"I know that at the moment you are committed to the mission, but once you return...will you marry me?" Wally asked kneeling down on one knee. Artemis didn't know what to say. The missions that she was about to be sent on was going to be a dangerous one and she didn't want to break Wally's heart any more than what it already was.
"Wally I...when I return and everything is put right I will marry you." She answered too afraid to tell him that she may not return. Wally's smiled and he put the ring on her finger before sitting down beside her and pulling her into a hug.
"I love you Wally." Artemis whispered cuddling up closer to him so that she could enjoy his warmth.
"I love you too Artemis." Wally whispered back, they sat there for a few hours, listening to the radio and talking about how the team was doing before Artemis left to return to Black Manta. She gave Wally the ring back and asked him to keep it safe before climbing out off their bed room window and disappearing into the night. Wally watched her longingly, wishing that she didn't have to go, before putting the ring back it's safe place and smiled sadly, he went into the kitchen to tidy up the mugs before going to bed, hoping that soon he would see her again because all he wants for Christmas is Artemis.
Thanks for reading, I hope that everyone likes it. R&R.
