Ch 1~ What One Kiss Can Do

It had been a week since the kiss. A complete seven days- not like Artemis was counting…

The archer couldn't get it out of her head. Things like that… the effect should have worn off by now, but she found herself thinking about it constantly. Artemis sighed, slamming her locker shut. How would she know? Romance was something that the archer did not have any experience with. As Artemis made her way home, she subconsciously replayed the event again.

"Happy New Year, Justice League." The robotic voice projected over the loudspeaker. A small smile played across the archer's lips as she heard bells chiming 'Auld Lang Syne'. Artemis felt a hand slip around her waist, then was hoisted up, held bridal style by her redheaded teammate. Artemis locked eyes with Kid Flash. "I should've done this a long time ago." He smiled. "No kidding." She replied, wrapping her arms around his neck. They leaned in, lips touching…

Artemis had walked a few blocks before realizing that she had been daydreaming. She stopped in the middle of the sidewalk, hearing many unhappy grumbles from pedestrians as they pushed around her. Artemis didn't even notice, and continued to stand, frozen, wrapped in her own thoughts as passerbys flowed around her.

Who was she kidding? It was New Years… the tradition was to kiss. Kid was so spontaneous, so impulsive, maybe he had only acted because of that. It wouldn't have been surprising. Maybe he didn't like her… well, not in 'that' way. So many 'maybe's… Her shoulders slumped.

She regretted saying 'no kidding.' She regretted letting herself fall so far into this… this trap. He didn't like her… it was one kiss. It didn't mean anything… did it? Artemis started walking again, head clouded with confused thoughts.

She hadn't seen the speedster for seven days. The team was on a 'break' of sorts; they wouldn't have any duties unless something important came up. What would happen when she saw him? The thought made her stomach twist. Love was a dangerous thing.

As if emphasizing her last thought, a startlingly loud sound jarred Artemis out of her dejected state. The blast had been a car horn. The archer stepped back onto the sidewalk, out of the street. She pressed her back against the cool metal of a stoplight pole, feeling her blood pounding throughout her whole body. What was she doing? What was she thinking? Did she even like him? Did he even like her?

Frustrated, Artemis readjusted her messenger bag strap, then continued on her way home, blocking out any thoughts of the speedster that tried to sneak into her mind.

Wally couldn't wait to see her. For the whole week, he had been more fidgety than usual; getting in trouble at school, not paying attention, drifting off… daydreaming. But the day was almost done. Once school was out and he got home, he could stop trying, and just let his mind ask all the questions it wanted. What would she say? Would she deny him? One moment, he dreaded seeing her, too nervous to see her reaction, but another moment, he wanted to run, to leave the school and find her. Wally felt scared and excited... no, that wasn't it. He was neither; he was both. Apprehensive or anxious, ecstatic or frightened; his emotions were undecipherable.

A hollow sound interrupted the thoughts swirling around in his mind. Wally dove to the side, hitting the grass as a soccer ball flew over his head.

Now if he could only survive gym class.

He stood, just as another soccer ball flew towards him. The speedster sidestepped, scowling at the three boys who were using him as their target. It was usually at this point when Wally yearned to use his speed. He glanced behind him at a couple of girls, the ones he usually wanted to impress. But he just didn't feel it today.

Wally wasn't thinking about revenge on the jerks who picked on him, or the soccer babes watching. The only thing Wally cared about was her. Artemis. His team lined up, four other boys taking their places behind him. Any other day, he would've taken defense, so that he could hide his abilities, but today was not 'any other day.' Without realizing what he was doing, the speedster took point. His thoughts were elsewhere.

The other team started, dropping the ball back to one of their defenders, who predictably passed it back up to another forward. Subconsciously, Wally saw it coming. He ran, then dropped into a slide-tackle, intercepting the pass. He dribbled forward, moving fluently around the defense, then took a shot. It was a perfect hit to the top right corner of the goal.

No one saw that coming, not even Wally. The bell rang, and the kids started running back to the school so that they could get their backpacks and go home. Wally headed in too, the goal already forgotten.

"Hey, that was really cool." Wally turned to see the group of soccer girls. The one who spoke had her sunshine blonde hair pulled back into a high ponytail. "How'd you do it?" She asked, giving him a flirty smile.

"Just… don't think about what you're doing," Wally shrugged, turning to leave.

"Wait-" The girl put a hand on his shoulder. He turned back, something hitting his chest. He gripped the soccer ball that the girl had tossed to him.

"Would you mind showing us some moves?" She asked, putting a hand on her hip. This girl was his type: tall, curved, blonde…

On a normal day, Wally would've taken that offer.

But this wasn't a normal day. Wally's whole standard of 'normal' was changing; all of it turned upside-down by a single green archer. Those so called 'normal days' were over. He gave the soccer ball back to the girl.

"Uhh, actually, I think I have a date." He said. The smile fell from her face, replaced by a look of confusion. She looked down at the white and black checkered sphere in her hands, then looked back up to the red head.

But Wally was long gone.

Nope, not gonna be a oneshot, far from it. ;)
