Hey y'all, H-girl here. I saw the Wendy and Conner thing on the last episode and I was all like O_o and I just had to write about it. I know I should be working on my other three multichapter stories but I could not resist, I just had to write this because I am absolutely in love with this paring it is my second OTP (sorry Jade/Roy you're only #3 now) I don't even care if the yj writers were just messing with us, I am writing this story. Updates will be as random as I am.
I don't own it.
"You're the only one that remembered."
Conner looked at the girl sitting next to him on the bench. Her contagious smile caused one to form on his face. It was almost kind of sad that Wendy was the only one who remembered his birthday. But with all that was going on with the league and the team he didn't blame them. Especially his two-remaning best friends after what happened two days earlier with Artemis. I hurt his heart to even think about the late archer. Poor Wally had lost his soul mate and his best friend was there to witness her death witch he inadvertently caused. (Or so Conner thinks) He saw it too. The utter silence coming from the archer's still form haunted him. And the fact that her killer was someone that she and the whole team used to be so close to. Conner remembered how he used to look up to Kaldur, how he used to respect him. Now all he felt towards the atlantien was a deep, unadulterated hate.
"Conner? Conner? Conner!" Wendy's voice brought him back into reality.
"Oh…Yes?" he blushed slightly.
"Are you alright?" The college student asked, her voice laced with concern.
"I'm fine." He lied. Wendy gave him a pointed look him that she didn't buy it, but since it was his birthday she let it be.
"If you say so." She said fighting the instinct to ask more. Suddenly she got and idea and stood up. "C'mon birthday boy, I'm taking you out to lunch."
"Thanks Wendy, but you don't need to…" He started to protest.
"No Conner, I insist. My treat." She stated firmly.
Conner gave a small sigh. He didn't feel that this was the time to celebrate. He had just witnessed the death of one of his best friends at the hand of one of his former friends. Part of him was perfectly fine with doing nothing about his birthday, but the other half was slightly heartbroken that no one seemed to remember his birthday. After a small battle between his inner selves he gave in and let Wendy take him to lunch.
She took him to this diner a few blocks away from campus and they both ordered burgers, milkshakes and shared an order of fries.
They chatted for a while after discovering they had so much in common. Both of them liked the color black, they both had a dog and they were both perusing the same career as an investigative journalist. They both even applied to the same internship at the daily planet.
After lunch they ended up at an old movie theater and watched Shrek together. Later that evening Conner and Wendy parted ways while walking back to campus. Conner had to go do something (monitor duty at the cave) and Wendy had to work on homework.
The young woman smiled to herself as she walked back to her dorm. Her and Conner's conversation from earlier replayed in her head.
"You know me well…"
She frowned slightly at that statement. Sure, she had known Conner since high school, but she never felt like she had truly known him. He was like an onion like the ogre Shrek in the movie Shrek they watched. She only knew the outer layer, but she knew there was so much more to him. He was different, like no other person she'd ever encountered.
She had also noticed that there was something wrong with Conner the past few days. He was quieter than usual and didn't smile at all. At first she thought he was down about the break-up, she thought him and Megan were the perfect couple; it came as a shock to her to find out that it had ended. But the longer she spent time with him she realized it was something else. She didn't ask him though, trying to make him it least a little bit happy on his birthday. Just being there as a friend for him.
When she finally got him to smile she felt a gooey warmth boil up inside of her. She tried not to blush when their eyes met and did a good job with covering up her nervous laugh. Because she didn't like Conner in that way, or it least that's what she told herself. She wasn't ready to admit to herself that she had feelings for her best friend's ex.
Conner smiled to himself as he walked to the nearest zeta-tube. He had a nice afternoon thanks to Wendy. He had a genuine good time. But he was slightly puzzled with the fact that every time she smiled he felt this warm fuzzy feeling inside his chest. It was almost identical to the feeling he got when M'gann used to smile at him. Was he beginning to have feelings for Wendy? He'd never though of her that way. To him she was just a friend, nothing more. Well that's how it was before, but maybe the warm fuzzy feeling was the universe's way of telling him that it was time to try something new. After all there were many other fish in the sea. Wendy might as well be one of them.
Well what did ya think? I'm gonna update this later tell me if I missed any mistakes. IF I GET 10 REVIEWS I WILL UPDATE ON WENDSAY OR EARLIER.
