First off, I would like to give a quick shout out to Karategurl13 for her great story (What she has up so far) on Teen Titans! Great story, my friend! Can't wait until you update it! :)
Young Justice Prom Stories
Ugh! Why am I such a chicken about asking my BOYFRIEND to my senior prom? I don't get it. We both have spent all weekend at the cave with the rest of our team/friends, but every time I go to bring up the subject I get nervous and talk about something else. Thankfully, he doesn't seem to notice...or he just doesn't care enough to notice...
It's now Tuesday. I have to ask Wally to the prom and, if he says yes, I have to have the stupid form filled out and turned in by Friday. But at this rate I might as well throw the form into the recycling bin and forget about it. I'll just go to prom by myself. Yeah. That way I don't feel obligated to stay all night. Hey, mom said she didn't mind if I only stayed an hour, right? Maybe it would be better if I went by myself...
But then I thought of Wally, again. What he say or think if he found out that I went to my prom without even attempting to ask him to come? He would probably be really hurt by that and I don't know if he would be too happy with me after that. I don't want to do anything that would cost me my speedster, that much is certain. I loved him; and the idea of doing anything that could cost our relationship made my whole body ache and it would eat me alive, now that I have finally admitted that he meant the world to me. Ugh...The choices a teenage girl has to make in her life.
It was after school and I was going to the cave to study with M'Gann. She didn't really understand her English class and since that seemed to be my best subject, she asked me to help her with the report she was just assigned. I zeta to the cave, ready to help my martian sister.
Recognized. Artemis: B-0-7.
I walk in and the place is really quiet. I go down the hall to the living room/ kitchen area to look for some sign of life, but I found no one. I decided to grab myself something to eat while I was here and then I would start looking for M'Gann, again. I made myself a sub sandwich and grabbed a bottled water out of the fridge. I had just taken a bite when my speedster entered the room.
"There's my little spitfire," Wally said with a smile on his face.
"Hey, you," I said after swallowing. "What's up? Where is everybody?"
"Um, Robin is with Zatanna in the library. They're studying since they both have math tests this week. Roy took off again, no one knows where. Kaldur is hanging with Raquel in the lounge area while they wait for quality time with their mentors...And Conner and M'Gann just went for a ride on one of the bikes."
"Ugh. M'Gann..." I said, slightly aggravated.
"What's wrong, babe?" Wally said, pulling up the seat next to me.
"Nothing, I guess. M'Gann told me that she wanted me to help her with an English report and now she's not here. I don't have time for this..."
"That reminds me. I wanted to talk to you about that...Why have you been so busy? It seems like I never see you or get to talk to you outside of this place."
"Wally, sweetie, it's only been a few days." I said.
"Artemis," Wally said with a sad tone. "I haven't really talked to you in a week except for team things...until now. Are you mad at me?"
Okay. So I was right. He would be upset if he found out that I didn't at least attempt to ask him to come with me. I mean, come on. He's upset now!
"No, I'm not mad at you. Do I have a reason to be, Wally?" I asked, trying to lighten the mood.
"Not that I'm aware of. But, come on, Artemis. What's going on? You haven't been in the best mood, either. Please babe, tell me, what's wrong?"
I couldn't deny him...I just couldn't. I was going to have to tell him the truth. I was going to have to tell him about all of the prom issues I was having. Then he was going to get mad at me or he was going to laugh at me or something! I'm so nervous...How am I going to tell him?
"Wally..." I said, in a whisper. "I can't and won't lie to you. My mom has been down my back like crazy."
"About what?" He asked, eyes about to bulge out of his head.
"Prom," I whispered. "I told her that I didn't want to go and she made a really big deal about it. So now I am going, just to make her happy. But then I realized that I would be just torturing myself if you weren't coming with me. But every time I tried to bring it up to you, I chickened out. I was afraid to ask...afraid you would laugh or say no...or both."
He looked at me, sadness in his eyes. He was standing now; and I was afraid that he was going to leave the room and not talk to me. I could feel my entire body shake and then go numb. All my fears were about to come true, right here, right now. I was going to lose someone who meant the world to me...
Wally then took my face gently into both of his hands. They were warm, comforting. He looked at me, his emerald eyes burrowing into me. I then felt my heart begin to race and my body regained the shaking feeling. I was beginning to feel tears well up in my eyes when he bent down to kiss me tenderly, on the lips. I kissed him back, gaining a little hope back into me. My body was still shaking, but now it was a good feeling.
He slowly pulled back from our kiss, but still held my face in his hands. I hadn't noticed before, but during our kiss, the tears that were in my eyes had poured down my face. He took his thumbs and gently wiped the streams of tears from my face. He continued to look me in the eye...and then he went up to kiss my forehead.
"Never be afraid to tell OR ASK me anything," he said, in a whisper. "It's almost impossible for me to say no to you, anyway."
I just nodded and then buried my face into my speedster's chest and hugged him, tightly. He hugged me back, just as tight. When our embraced ended, he continued to hold onto me. He brushed some hair out of my face and smiled at me, his emerald eyes lighting up again. I couldn't help but smile and the sight of Wally seeming so happy.
"So," he said.
"So?" I asked.
"Is there something that you wanted to ask me?" He said, chuckling.
"Huh? Oh, yeah! Wally, will you please come to my prom with me?" I asked half laughing.
"Of course," he said smiling.
And with that, I handed him the form that I had in my pocket and told him to give it back to me on Thursday so I could turn it in. He nodded, folded the paper back up and stuck it into the pocket of his jeans. Then his attention turned back to me. We smiled at each other as I stood up from my seat. The warm speedster wrapped his hands around my waist and pulled me close to him. As he did this, I locked my arms around his neck and smiled from ear to ear.
"Now was that so hard?" He asked, pulling me closer.
"No," I whispered.
And with everything settled, Wally pulled me in for another kiss that sent my body shivering with excitement. Yes, I loved him. Yes, I loved Kid Flash. Yes, I loved Wally West. And no. I was NOT afraid to admit that anymore...
Hey guys! So I really don't feel like I did my OTP any justice for how amazing they are...but please do me a favor and review! I would greatly appreciate it! There is only one chapter left for Artemis's prom POV. The sooner you guys review, the sooner I write and post. Thanks!
