A series of drabbles about the relationship between Superboy and Zatanna. Updates daily. Reviews welcome.
This story is set after episode 21 "Image" and any events in the program after that DO NOT happen.
September: The first week of school was filled with great joy. Zatanna had just started her senior year, and after a summer filled with time consuming missions and awkward mountain sharing with Megan, she was happy to spend time with her human friends again even if that meant being stuck in classes to do so.
But starting school again also brought great sadness. She had lost Superboy for the most part already, and even if he was still in high school and not moving on towards being a full time superhero, he wasn't there with her. Her classes were painfully slow, and she missed the super charged, black hair boy more than she realized she would.
Sighing, Zatanna made her way out of her last class and towards the front of the school, bypassing her locker. She just wanted to get home and take a nap, school was draining her more than she thought possible. You'd think between missions, school, friends, and the League meetings, Zatanna would have built up a tolerance for lack of sleep. No such luck.
So she made her way down the halls and out the door, waving to a few friends who had already made it out of their classes. The majority of the school had yet to make it as far as she (one of the benefits of her last class being so close to the door) and she was determined to make it outside before the hallway was flooded and the parking lot backed up.
She pulled her Ipod of her pocket and was beginning to untangle her headphones as she walked when something caught her eye. One of her friends was waving to her, eager to get her attention. She grinned, slightly confused, and trotted over to see what was up.
The girl grabbed her arm and dragged her down the steps in front of the school, weaving between groups of gathering friends, and towards their usual party. Zatanna could hear the girls giggling and squealing before she was even close, and all of a sudden they were in her face.
"You didn't tell us you were dating Connor!" They all exclaimed together, fighting for her attention. Zatanna stammered, utterly confused and flustered, and tried to find her words.
"What are you talking about?" Zatanna offered, and she was forcefully turned around to face the street. Superboy stood there, arms crossed, and obviously waiting for someone. He didn't look mad, which Zatanna took as a good sign, but he was focused on something. Me.
Zatanna's eyes widened, but she also felt herself grinning uncontrollably. She tore away from her friends and began to walk over to him, ignoring the giggles of other students around her.
Superboy's face broke into a grin as she came closer and closer, and Zatanna suddenly found herself wrapped in a bear hug and being swung around. She full out laughed until he put her down.
"Happy to see me?" He prodded, snagging an arm over her shoulders and starting with her on her walk home.
Zatanna smiled up at him, the woes of high school long gone. She had missed him so much, and the assumptions of her friends gave her chills. Dating Superboy? She asked herself, liking the idea. Is that what they were doing? Did him showing up to walk her home even count? Just best friends...right? "Very much so," she answered, squeezing him around the waist for emphasis. He smiled back at her.
This one's alright xD Tomorrow will be the last update until the weekend. I have no time until then to write any new chapters. Sorry guys.
