~AU~

Maybe taking the party back to the dorms wasn't the best idea, but by that point, none of them were making too many great decisions.

Artemis and Raquel had ditched their heels back at the house party and Megan had had to be carried all the way back to their building. They slipped in through a side door to bypass the lobby and avoid questioning, because a bunch of beyond buzzed eighteen-nineteen-twenty year olds were sure to be stopped by the unlucky person at the front desk. The elevator ride was filled with shushing and shoving and if any RA had seen them, they'd all have been written up and/or laughed at for the rest of the school year.

By the time they reached Artemis and Megan's room, Wally had sobered up a lot and Kaldur had his hands full supporting Raquel, Zatanna, and Dick. Conner had his hands full with/of Megan. Everyone settled into the 14x16 room, stealing pillows from beds and making a half-assed circle on the floor while Artemis clawed through her closet in search of-

"Bingo." She pulled a tall, clear bottle from behind her hamper and set it in the circle. "Thank you, Jade."

Her boyfriend nodded his approval, as he uncovered the corny shot glasses she kept tucked under her bed, "Yes, thank you, Jade, for the imminent hangover."

Wally took a quick look around, "Who's in?"

"Just one more couldn't hurt." Megan giggled from her bed, where she was hanging upside down and waiting for a shot to be passed her way.

Conner put his hand up, "One more could hurt a lot. You're cut off."

Wally rolled his eyes and passed a shot glass to Zatanna, who passed it to Dick, who passed it to Raquel, who examined the contents with a little pride.

"How many will this be?" She asked the room, but only Dick gave her a number, '14'. She nodded and kept the glass, "I'm still good."

Artemis climbed over her bed, and Wally, Zatanna, and Dick, to get to Megan's side of the room. She plugged in the star lights Megan had set up and flipped off the main light in the room, plunging their little after-party into a chilled ambience. She moved back over to her bed, where she opened her laptop and put on a good playlist before she grinned.

She squeezed in between Zatanna and Wally. "Gimme Lightning."

Lightning, the affectionately named double glass, found its way into her hands, filled with vodka with love. The rest of the regular glasses were passed out until everyone but Megan had a little alcohol in their hands. Artemis scanned their little circle of friends and smiled. In the morning, she'd blame her sentimentality on the alcohol, but really-

"You guys are seriously the best friends ever."

They all took a shot to that. Between the conversations that aren't funny and the consumption of even more alcohol, Wally's arm found its way around her and at some point, they climbed up to sit on her bed and where did Kal and Raquel go-

"We should take pictures," Wally's whisper sent a pleasant warmth through her and she looked over to where he was pointing, "So they can't deny it in the morning. Maybe they'll give up and just get together already."

Artemis already had her phone out, so- why not? She bent over the side of her bed to take pictures of Dick and Zatanna, who were collapsed on top of each other in an uncomfortable-looking cuddle on the floor. She'll send the pictures to both of them in a few days. She looked over the other side of her bed and found Kal and Raquel asleep too, leaning against her closet and the wall. Both of their phones are in their laps, still open with 'Fun Run' flashing on the screens. Artemis took some more pictures before she carefully placed her phone somewhere at the end of her bed.

She pulled her boyfriend down with her and they maneuvered on her twin-sized bed until they fit, mostly. She was hot from the alcohol in her system, as was he, but the window was open and the breeze kept the room cool enough for them to cuddle comfortably.

"You're pretty sappy when you're drunk," Wally took a piece of her hair and twirled it around his fingers, "You know that?"

"Better than being Ms. Giggles."

"True," He tangled his fingers in her hair, "Although, next time, you should save the emotional speeches for when we get back, instead of making them on some dude's coffee table. I didn't even have time to get it on video."

Artemis sighed lightly, "Those words came straight from the heart, Slowpoke. I think 'Tanna got it though, if you're really upset."

Wally turned so their faces were nose to nose and smiled. The music that drifted from her laptop- how had that gotten under Megan's bed?- was drowned out by the sound of his breaths and the feel of his pulse underneath her fingertips overrode her instinct to move.

"Wanna go to the drive-in tonight?"

Dork. Artemis pressed a lingering kiss on his lips before she rolled her eyes and climbed a little bit more on top of him.

"Yeah."
