13. Sick
Warning! Spoiler Alert for the last episode of Young Justice! Don't like, don't read!
Well, this is just fantastic!
It was the beginning of Winter Break, and Wally's sick. He's sick for crying out loud! Who the hell get's sick on fucking Winter Break! This just wasn't fair! He was stuck here in his stuffy room while the other kids were outside playing in the snow or just enjoying their no school day. The red head groaned and dropped his head back into his pillow. He was really hoping to spend some time with a certain archer girl.
It's almost been an year now since he and Artemis started to date after the whole League getting brainwashed thing. He remembered it clearly. He watched Artemis from the corner of his eyes and his gaze turned to the clock hologram. It was New Years. With a swift movement, he brought the blond archer into his arms, bridal style with a grin. Artemis smiled as she leaned forward and kissed him. Wally eagerly kissed back. That was the best New Years he ever had.
Yet, he's sick in bed, not allowed to go anywhere, even to the Mountain. It totally sucks! He really missed Artemis. He hadn't seen her for about a week thanks to school stuff and Centeral City stuff.
He had to call Artemis.
His phone went off and he reached for it on the night stand. Speak of the devil.
"Hey Artemis." Wally answered.
"Hey Wally, are you okay? You sound terrible." Concern laced her voice. Ah, good old Artemis.
"Yeah, I'm just sick. Sorry, but I can't hang out with you today." He let out hoarse cough. "Ugh! I feel like I'm gonna die!"
"I see," damn, she sounded disappointed. "I will see you when you get better. Hope you get better, Wally."
"Sorry," he apologized again.
"It's okay."
They hung up. Wally sighed, feeling guilty for leaving Artemis like that. But it wasn't his fault for getting sick, dammit! He already missed her. Her smiles, soft laugh that sent a good tingle down his spine, her smell, her eyes...Wally really hated being sick, away from his girlfriend.
Wally woke up from his sleep when he heard rustling from downstairs. That's strange, his dad was out at work and his mom was visiting a relative in Smallville, Uncle Barry and Aunt Iris were both at work, so who could that be? His dad? He could have left work early.
"Dad?" He called out.
No answer. He heard the footstep going up the stairs, where his room was.
"Who's there?" His body went stiff and was ready to fight, even though his body was aching.
"Wally, it's me."
The red headed speedster blinked in surprise at the familiar voice.
"Artemis? What are you doing here and how did you get into my house?" Wally watched his girlfriend (jittery feeling, still can't get used to that word) waltzed into his room.
"Your mom gave me a spare key." Artemis smirked, leaning against the door frame.
Wally goraned. Mom, why?
"And I'm here to take care of you." She said.
"...Come again?"
"Since we can't hang out, why not make up with this? I get to make you feel better from the cold and get to spend time with you. It's a win/win situation." Artemis walked towards his bed and sat on the edge.
"But, what if you get sick!"
Artemis snorted. "I'm not afraid of a cold, Baywatch. I just want you to get better." She mumbled.
"You're an amazing girlfriend." Wally smiled at the blond.
"You just noticed that?" Artemis grinned and leaned forward, letting their forehead touch. Blue eyes met green as they stared into each other eyes intently.
"I really missed you." Artemis whispered.
"Me too. It felt like forever since we last seen each other." Wally murmered.
"Do you need anything?"
"Yeah."
"What?"
Artemis yelped in surprise when Wally dragged her down to his bed, his arms wrapped tightly around her. He loved her smell, he loved the sound of her breathing, the rhythmic beating of her heart, and most of all he loved the way she fit perfectly into his arms. He nuzzled his cheek on top of her head.
"Stay with me a bit."
Artemis let out a small laugh.
"Sure thing, Wally."
Yeah! Another update! You happy? I know your happy. C'mon, admit it. CB) (that's a face, if ya'll are wondering, most people don't know what that is).
A sweet moment with Artemis and Wally...again. I might right another angst, so be prepared!
