So...you know how long it took me to find a song? And I still feel like It doesn't fit them.

Forever.
He loved that word, and wanted to have it with Artemis. He wanted forever. No matter how long he had with her, Forever couldn't be enough. Because otherwise, there would never be enough time. He was going to ask, ask her to marry him, before Dick lunched that stupid plan. Dick was Wally's best friend. So why was he doing this? He, of all people, should see how Wally felt about her.
Should see that the hard part would never be over.
Should see that he was turning into Batman.
He wished that Arty would forget them, forget the world, and just be with him.
But he hadn't asked yet...so there was still one step left.
He had thought that by leaving the superhero lifestyle behind, they would never have to go through that again. Never have to go through carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders again. And he had thought that without that weight, love would shift his way.
If he asked her, sincerely, would she except? Would she want to spend everyday with him?
Would she? If he just spoke those two words, Marry me; would she? Would she be willing to spend forever with him? That is; assuming he ever got the nerve to say it.
And would she say that one word?
Would she say yes?
He could never feel like just being together would allow him to be close enough to her.
He couldn't wait for the day when she'd wear white, and he'd continue to wear out the words 'I love you' and 'You're beautiful'.
He couldn't say he missed when they were teenagers, not getting along, and not realizing she was his spitfire. But finally, finally, the wait was over. They both had love figured out, and they knew they were perfect for each other.
And how how he wanted to ask her.
Wanted her to say yes.
Would she be happy with him?
He wanted to make her happy.
Forever.
