Title: Running With My Heart

Type of AU/Prompt: 58) Enemy Gate/ High School AU

Characters: Artemis/Wally, Zatanna

Rating: High-ish T

Summary: It didn't matter anymore that they were from rival high schools, the way his breath felt on her skin was much more important than that stupid feud. It actually made her forget it all. Spitfire.

They were hidden under his bleachers, they couldn't even risk meeting at her school. If anyone from North showed up on South High grounds, it highly unlikely that they wouldn't leave without some form of harm, especially North's track star.

She could feel his hands everywhere, his lips were firmly attached to her neck, sucking on her pulse. She knew that there would be a mark later but she didn't care; all she cared about now was the way his hands were sneaking up under her shirt and pressing against the smoothness of her stomach.

She let out a whimper and she felt his smirk against her skin, she used this momentary lapse to pull his lips back to hers. He didn't hesitated to bite down on her bottom lip, she gasped giving him access to her mouth, easily slipping his tongue in. His hands now moving from their previous location up her back, leaving a trail of warmth behind them. Her hands gripped his uniform tightly, pulling him closer to her.

They really shouldn't be doing this, they should have stopped the first time, at the party. But they didn't. And they don't seem to be slowing down anytime soon.

They had become like a fucking modern day Romeo and Juliet. (Hopefully they don't die in the end.) They're a cliché. He's North High's star athlete, destined for state champs for greater. She was South High's top student, the only student in 20 years to qualify for the National Merit Scholarship, let alone actually winning one.

They had plans. They had separate plans once they got out of high school, dreams they wanted to follow. It was their last year, they were allowed to live a little, let loose, find some... release every once and a while. But that need for release quickly transformed into a need. A need to just be with each other. Seeing each a few times a month turned into weekly to texting each other every night to, finally, her sneaking over to North's track everyday to pick him up after practice so they could spend a few hours together, since during the day, they were supposed to hate each other.

No one's really sure why the two high schools hate each other, but they just do; making them "forbidden lovers."

When his fingers started playing with her bra clasp, she broke away from his kiss, panting heavily.

"Maybe- maybe we should slow down." she said breathless. "Just- just for a sec, not all of us super star athletes with perfect endurance."

"Maybe we should work on building yours a bit more then." he said, still running his hands up and down the soft skin of her back. His touch sent sparks coursing throughout her body. "What do you say babe?"

"Okay..." he leaned in to kiss her again, but she put her hand on his chest to stop him. "But I wish we could be... normal..."

He sat back a little, pulling his hands out from under her shirt so he could take hers in his, "What do you mean: normal?"

She sighed, looking away from him. "I wish we didn't have to hide... us anymore. I don't like the fact that the only time that we are out in public together is when we hide under the bleachers..."

"I want to show you off too, beautiful. I want everyone to be jealous of the fact that I now have the most wonderful and perfect girl in my arms..." he said, pulling her back to him so he could kiss her forehead. "But you know how people are, we're not supposed to be together- hell! We aren't even supposed to like each other!"

"It's not fair..." she whined.

"I know."

"You're incredibly cheesy."

"I know."

"Kiss me?"

"Happy to oblige, babe."

There they were again, under the bleachers, his body firmly pressed to hers. She could feel the stones digging into her back, but the pain was soon forgotten as his lips descended on hers again.

Everything's always forgotten when she's in his arms; school, her messed up family, even the fact that they shouldn't even be together is completely forgotten. He's her personal little paradise, and she's his. They both know what would happen if anyone ever found out, but somehow, in their personal version of West Side Story, they managed to make it work. To pull off the whole "relationship" thing. They've said it, you know, the big three words. They don't say it often, he more than her, but they know. And that's all that really matters.

When his tongue slips into her mouth, she can't help but arch her back, pressing them even closer together. He moans in response, she can't help but giggle a little, until his magic hands run up under her shirt and the tips brushed against her bra. She gasped, and he kissed from her mouth down to her neck and began to suck. The magic hands went to work again, tracing nonsense patterns on her skin, it felt as if it was on fire.

The whole aspect was thrilling really, the fear of someone finding them, word spreading, them being forced apart... somehow it added to their passion. Made it even hotter, which she didn't even think was possible. The way that he felt against her, his beating heart in sync with hers, the way his silky, fiery locks felt between her fingers, the way he loved her like she knew no one else ever will.

He broke away from her lips and trailed down her neck with his tongue, stopping to give a hot, open-mouth kiss every little bit. When he reached his final destination he began to whisper sweet nothing into her skin. And she felt at home, and he deserves to be reminded of that every once and a while.

"I love you."

He stopped the wonderful things that he was doing to her neck and picked his head up to look her in the eye. His eyes are wide, but then they soften and he smiled at her.

"I love you too."

She doesn't know how her friends convince her to go to the state championships with them. She was perfectly happy going by herself, wearing his jacket, sitting in the parents section, cheering him on, again, by herself.

But nooooooo, her friends thought that it would be a fun idea to go together since it was the last meet of their "high school career." God, she hated their logic.

"Hey Artemis!" called her friend, Zatanna. She was waving her over to the rest of the group.

Artemis internally groaned, she didn't want to be there. Well, she want to be able to cheer him on...

As she stood with her friends, Zatanna linked their arms together. The rest of them were chatting away and Artemis just stood there, staring at the track. Why did his event have to be last?

"Hey, what's wrong?" asked Zatanna.

Artemis sighted. "Nothing, I just, want it to be over."

"What to be over?"

Artemis caught herself from saying this torture, "Um, the meet, I have an essay to finish."

"Oh right, of course Miss Merit Scholar has an essay to do." said Zatanna. "She wouldn't be the best friend that I know and love if she didn't."

That hurt, it did. She was lying to her best friend, god this stupid feud will be the end of her. She hated lying to her friends, she had to do it every day; none of them knew where she went every day after school, no one knew that she had a boyfriend let alone the fact that he was the main event of the meet, and that he's running for the other school.

Thank God graduation was in a few weeks, she doesn't know how much longer of this she can take.

When it's finally time for his race, her blood was pumping. She pulled Zatanna along with her towards the finish line. She watched him take his place, she caught his eye and he winked. She mouthed him good luck and tightened her grip on Zatanna; her friend didn't seem to notice.

And then they were off.

She couldn't tell who was in first during the first turn of his 400 meter dash. He looked in first but it was weird, the way the lanes worked were weird. And then they're in the last 100, a kid from her school was pulling ahead of him, but then he kicked it into high gear and they were neck and neck. Her grip on Zatanna was getting tighter and tighter, but she still didn't seem to be noticing.

And then he wins.

"Yes!" she blurted out, throwing her hands up in the air.

"What? We lost." said Zatanna, confused.

Artemis let go of her and ran to the opening of the fence to the track, she watched him from there as a few of his teammates went up to congratulate him. She was really proud of him, he did it, he won the biggest race of his life and she was just really happy for him.

When he saw her his smile seemed to get wider and he opened his arms to here, she ran and jumped into his arms. He spun her around and kissed every inch of her face. And they were both really, really happy.

"Congrats, Wally." she whispered to him.

"Thanks, beautiful." and they kiss again.

She knew that there were people watching them, and that she was in South High colors and he was in his North High uniform, that all their friends and peers were watching them. But who cared? They didn't, because after all High School rivalries were a fading fab.

It's the college ones you have to worry about.

What are endings? Like I have no idea. And non-cheesy titles, like, what even?

Sorry if they're a little OOC, I need to go back and watch episodes to see how they interact again...

Anyways, thanks for reading and look out for two new updates later tonight.

Review?
