It was common knowledge that Artemis has always found pleasure in teasing Zoë, even after dating her for three years; she simply enjoys being the reason that Zoë is flustered all the time. Whether is was calling Zoë ridiculous pet names or gushing about how well she played in a game, Artemis lived to see Zoë become bashful and playfully roll her eyes. She simply enjoyed the little things.
So when she, Zoë, and Alice arrived in a large lecture hall to take the basic psychology course they had been putting off for a couple of years and she realized the professor was full of Dad Jokes, Artemis knew she would have plenty of opportunities throughout the semester to get Zoë flustered. Artemis sat down towards the very middle of the room with Zoë sitting on her right and Alice sitting on her left.
Before class began, their professor greeted his class. After cracking a few jokes that managed to make even Zoë smile, he began going over the rules of his class, demanding respect from all of his students.
"Be nice to the person sitting next to you," he said. "They may just end up being your future spouse."
Zoë's smile dropped immediately and she turned her head to look at Artemis. Artemis turned at the same time, smirked, and winked at Zoë. Zoë swallowed and looked back at the professor. She could hear Artemis and Alice chuckle as her ears and cheeks turned bright red.
As the professor began his first lecture of the semester, Zoë's mind began to wonder. Perhaps he was right. Of course she knew that she would have to deal with constant teasing from Artemis and the rest of the team before she could even consider making that statement true. She opened her notebook, shook her head, and smiled.
