Why Guys Love Girls


Reason #2:
The way they always find the right spot on our shoulder.

"Yes, finally!" Wally cheered excitedly, his green eyes bright as he zipped around the living room, "Movie night!"

Artemis rolled her eyes, but couldn't help but smile a little, if only because he was smiling. She watched him zip out of the room to get the rest of their teammates before letting her smile fade a little in realization. Her face paled as it hit her like a punch to the gut.

She'd been showing it too much. The fact that she liked Wally had hit her about a month ago. At first she hotly protested it, told herself she was being stupid, she wasn't actually going to admit that she liked him, not even to herself. Well, she snorted now as she though back on it, that plan didn't work. She kept slipping up, kept glancing at him and smiling when he smiled, before she would catch herself. Eventually Megan noticed and one late night conversation later, Megan knew and was ecstatic.

Since then, she was trying desperately trying to keep herself from falling harder for the red haired boy. The logical part of her brain kept reminding her that even though she was accepted on the team (for the most part), he would never fully accept her into Red Arrow's spot. It was a depressing, but effective reality check, and one that she needed desperately.

She was brought out of her thoughts as murmuring voices announced the arrival of her teammates. She carefully stowed her emotions away and looked up in time to see Robin and Kaldur walking in to the living room.

"'sup Arty?" Robin greeted her before launching himself over the back of the couch and sliding onto the carpet in front of the couch, all in one fluid motion. Kaldur rolled his eyes at his younger teammate and nodded at her as he calmly walked around the couch and took a seat on the end.

Megan flew in with a cheerful "Hey guys," and perched gracefully on the arm of the couch opposite of Kaldur. Superboy stalked in and plopped down next to her, his face stormy as usual. Megan and Robin started to chat animatedly about some new television show and Artemis sat down next to Kaldur with a small sigh. The Atlantean smiled at her before sliding his eyes shut and resting his head on his fist, seemingly unaffected by the noisy team around him.

Just when Artemis was starting to understand the plot of the television show Megan and Robin were discussing, she saw a flash of red speed into the kitchen and turned her head in time to see Wally zip out with several bowls popcorn. With a huff, he plopped down on the couch, situating his lanky body between Superboy and Artemis, oblivious to the small blush on her cheek.

To cover her –minor– slip up, she flipped her long blond hair into Wally's face with a small smirk, "I didn't realize that the trip from the kitchen and back was such a difficult trip, Wall-Man."

She watched his cheeks grow red and laughed as he snapped an –admittedly lame– comeback at her. She waved her hand nonchalantly, indicating that he should stop trying to one-up her and crossed her legs. He ignored her and leapt up to turn on the movie, the child-like grin returning to his face as the scene selection for the DVD came up and he returned to his seat, squished between her and Superboy.

She stiffened as his thigh brushed hers, but she forced herself to relax. With forced nonchalance, she settled against the couch. She could do this.


It was not the first time the team had fallen asleep while watching television together at the Cave.

Robin's small and lean body was stretched out on the floor in front of the television, his dark sunglasses askew on his face as he curled around the small pillow in his arms. Megan and Superboy had slid to the floor sometime during the movie and were rested against the front of the couch. Superboy's head was dipped, his chin resting against his chest while Megan curled into his side. She snuggled into his chest as his arm around her shoulders tightened, both far gone in their dreams. Kaldur had his arm propped on the arm of the couch and was resting his head against his fist, his breathing low and steady. Wally had both arms spread over the back of the couch and his head tipped till it too was resting on the back of the couch.

Wally had been lightly dozing when he felt a sudden weight on his shoulder. He cracked his bleary green eyes open and peered down at the head resting on his shoulder. His eyes widened when realized that it was a blond head; a blond head with a very long ponytail . . . he felt the hot blush climb up his cheeks as he realized that Artemis must've fallen asleep on his shoulder. While his tired brain tried to process through that, he realized that her jaw was digging into his shoulder and was becoming very uncomfortable. He tried shifting her by jiggling his shoulder. She grimaced briefly in annoyance before shifting her head slightly so it pressed even harder into his shoulder. With a small grimace on his face, he jiggled his shoulder a little more forcefully and her head slid right into place on his shoulder, like it was made to rest there. She sighed contentedly, her lips pulling up into a small smile in her sleep and he smiled back softly before closing his eyes and leaning his head back to rest against the back of the couch, ready to join the rest of the team in slumber.


A/N: Another very sweet one. :) Like I said, most of these end up with some fluff, or (like this one) are completely fluff.

I. REGRET. NOTHING. :D

See you on Monday. :)
