Noah hesitantly sat next to Artemis during the lecture. People looked at him as if he were crazy. Artemis though, ignored him. She was trying to pay attention to the lecture, but something was bothering her.
"Hey, sorry about before." Noah apologized, running a hand through his dirty blonde hair. "For what? Smacking my ass or getting slapped." he was silent, not knowing what exactly the right answer would be.
"Both?" he said with uncertainty and she let out a groan before sliding a bit farther away from him. He followed over to her. "Hey, look-"
"I'm not sleeping with you." she stated, and his face showed obvious confusion. "What?"
"I'm not sleeping with you!" she yelled out angrily and the room turned silent, the professor had eyed the two of them before returning to his lecture. Artemis was tensed and still glaring daggers at him. Noah licked his lips and nodded.
He grabbed her hand and she just swiftly moved hers. He got angry, why wont his powers work?!
Hours later Artemis was talking to Zatanna on the phone, Noah not to far behind.
"I cant believe this guy!...Yeah!...Definitely...Okay, see you later." she hung up and put her phone in her pocket before letting out a sigh and continued walking.
Noah sped up and grabbed her shoulder. She turned around and groaned, Artemis rolled her eyes and turned back around. He opened his mouth but she raised her arm, stopping him.
"Dont apologize unless you mean it." he didnt speak and she let out a laugh. "Yeah...thought so."
His brows furrowed, he just needed to catch her off guard. Noah grabbed her hand and before she could react her spun her around and slammed his lips against hers.
She didnt kiss back. Instead, the blonde pushed him away and punched him in the gut, the young adult gripped his stomach and stepped back.
Artemis stomped forward and roundhouse kicked him across the face. He fell to the ground and she wiped her lips, she would have to scrub him off of her. She felt ashamed for letting her guard down, letting him do that.
She walked away, holding her head, she was tense and ignored all the stares. She needed to get back and take a shower that would last hours.
