A/N: Okay, so I've decided to do a series of one-shots that will all be Spitfire, because they are simply amazing together :) so I hope you enjoy this next chapter!

Disclaimer: Still don't own anything :(


Hold Me Tight.

Wally abandoned the toffee covered popcorn on the table as he cowered under the comforter, unable to watch the screen after he saw the woman's body being possessed by the demon. Eienstien, he was definitely going to be having nightmares for a while.

He then heard a faint gasp from the space next to him and felt the cushions shift as the blonde archer moved slightly closer towards him. Despite how terrified he may have been, Wally grinned.

The oh-so-fearless Artemis, wasn't so fearless after all.

So you're probably wondering what the hell he was doing in the living room, watching Paranormal Activity, all alone in the Cave with Artemis.

Thing is, his best friend was out doing the whole 'Dynamic Duo' thing with Bats so that was a no, go. Megalicious was out on a date with Supey, although Wally had no idea why the Martian didn't pick him instead, he had the looks too didn't he? Chicks dig guys with green eyes, didn't they? But-whatever, her loss. And Kaldur was visiting Atlantis for the weekend to spend time with Tula and Garth, as well as King Orin.

Plus his parents were on holiday for another week so he was staying with his uncle Barry, but him and his aunt Iris were out on a 'hot date'. Wally mentally shivered in disgust. Was it even legal to still do that kind of stuff if you're over the age of twenty five?

So basically his only option was to have a movie night in the Cave, accompanied by the last person he wanted to spend any of his valuable time with.

Especially after how awkward it had gotten since Bialya. He had flirted with Artemis. Ice Queen. Satan. Harpy-the list was endless.

How the hell could he have thought for one minute she was hot? Okay, well, maybe that was a lie, since she's the most beautiful girl he's ever met.

The whole losing their memories of each other thing, only made him realise that the first time they met didn't exactly turn out very well. He got pretty annoyed because a pretty girl had laughed at him and she was the same person who was stealing Roy's spot on the team. Of course he was going to be pissed off.

Finally snapping out of his thoughts, he focused on the TV screen, it was practically the end of the movie. He had zoned out for at least half an hour. Shit.

"That was based on a true story," he heard the blonde whisper, her eyes slightly widened.

Oh hell no. If it was, that meant it could happen to anyone. Him. Even Arty.

Artemis.

Swivelling his head, he gazed at her out the corner of his eye. She could be possessed right now and he wouldn't even know! Oh sweet baby Eienstien. He was going to die. And he really needed to go bathroom! But he was terrified to go by himself, and he couldn't hold it in any longer. Wally gulped at his only option.

"Hey um, Arty, come to the bathroom with me?" He asked her in a shaky voice, glancing at her from the other side of the couch.

"Why, is the Wall-man scared?" She questioned with a mock tone of surprise, crawling closer to him and wiggled her fingers in his face. Wally frowned. He knew she was totally scared too, she was just better at hiding it.

Sitting up straighter in his seat he let out an amused snort. "Pffttt, no. I'm Kid Flash," he defended in a deep voice, puffing up his chest and striking a heroic pose. "I don't get scared, babe. I just thought you wouldn't want to be left alone, that's all."

"Sure. Nice try, Wally. You and I both know you'd be the first one to cry like a baby."

"Alright maybe a little," he admitted as he got to his feet, shooting her a pleading look as he offered a hand to help her up of the couch. "Come on, we'll be safer if we go together."

Artemis gave him a small nod in agreement and took his outstreached hand. Wally had never realised how big his hand was compared to hers.

After they'd both taken turns in going in the bathroom, they both started heading down the corridor towards their separate rooms when suddenly the lights in the Cave began to flicker on and off, until it died, leaving them in darkness.

Wally could hear Artemis scream and he panicked, letting out a shriek of his own, he felt around blindlessly looking for her. When he felt warm, smooth flesh underneath his palm, Wally scooped the acher up and threw her over his shoulder, fumbling his way around until he found his room.

Dropping Artemis in a heap on the floor, the speedster turned around and locked the door, ripped off his shirt, throwing beside his bed, adjusting his jeans before burrying himself underneath the covers, leaving her gaping at him and the shirt from her place on the carpet.

"Get under the covers if you want to live." He advised in a low voice, sticking his head out from underneath the sheets and patted the empty, safe looking space next to him on his red double bed.

Peering around the semi darkness of his room, her eyes lingered on the darker shadows in suspicion, waiting for something to pop out at her. "Like hell am I jumping into bed beside you!" She whispered angrily.

Stretching out his arms, he tucked them underneath his head. "Fine. Don't blame me if some demented demon drags you outta here by your legs and the Wall-man can't save you." He replied in a smug tone, knowing soon enough it would change her mind.

Artemis shivered, a little creeped out by the thought of that happening. "Alright," she agreed. "But just this once. And no one else finds out about this, ever." Then reluctantly slipped herself under the covers beside him and curled into a ball, not trusting to close her eyes just yet.

She felt the bed shift as Wally sat up and looked down at her. "Hold me," she heard him mumble.

What?

Turning so that she could look at him, she just about managed to make out his bright green eyes looking down at her expectantly and his perfectly tousled red hair from the small amount of light filtering through the window across the room. The corners of his mouth tugging into a half smile.

How could she possibly say no to the cute face he was pulling? Plus she was a little bit scared too-and secretly she wouldn't mind sharing body heat with him-as much as she didn't want to admit it. Emitting a deep sigh, she snuggled into his waiting arms, her hands carefully resting on his chest with her head tucked into his neck.

"Don't worry babe, I'll protect you from the evil ghosts."

That made her roll her eyes in disbelief but she didn't comment.

Artemis then felt him slowly tighten his hold on her waist, pressing his face into the side of her hair. "See, I knew you couldn't resist me, Beautiful." He teased, she could practically hear the smirk in his voice.

Artemis snorted. "In your wildest dreams, Baywatch."

The idiot had been calling her beautiful ever since the Bialya mission a month ago, it aways embarrassed her for some reason. "And stop calling me that." She grumbled, hiding her face further into his shoulder.

"Calling you what? Beautiful?"

She nodded her head in reply.

"But its what you are," she heard him very faintly whisper.

"What was that you just said?"

"I said nothing, babe. Now close your eyes."

"But-"

"Go to sleep, Artemis. Before I chuck you out and leave you for the creepy, soulless demons to take." He warned as he lifted her effortlessly closer into him.

Unable to help herself, she smiled at his words.

After a while, she completely forgot about the stupid scary film and closed her eyes, gradually falling asleep to the soft rise and fall of his chest underneath her.
