22. College

"You okay?" Artemis chuckled walking into the kitchen.

Wally's answer was a groan and he sighed. He leaned back in his chair and away from his school paper. This earned a laugh from his beautiful girlfriend. A smile made its way when Artemis walked over to him and sat on his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck. Wally pulled her in closer and nuzzled his face into the crook of her neck. He enhaled her intoxicating smell, pine tree and fresh meadow breeze. He sighed and relaxed into her.

"College is hard." He whispered into her skin, making her shiver in pleasure.

"I thought you love a challenge?" Artemis smirked.

"I do and that's why I have you." Wally picked her up bridal style.

She squeaked. "WALLACE! What are you doing?"

"Taking a break!"

"You have a paper you need to write!" She scolded him.

"Eh," he shrugged. "I can write it tomorrow."

He carried her into their room and dropped each other onto the bed. Artemis smiled and laughed at Wally's action. He joined in with her, enjoying the moment. The two were no longer in the superhero business anymore, focusing more on their future, their career other than superhero work. They want a quiet life and continue to enjoy each other's company. The two quiet down and stared into each other's eyes. She reached up and stroked his face. Wally leaned into her hand and kissed her palm.

They really like college, it was fun and normal, but the downside was the amount of homework the professors gave out. Let's not think about that now. The two were going steady, getting their own little home and doing their fair share of work. They even got a dog, it was like they were starting a family. Wouldn't their parents have a field day of having grand kids?

"What did I do to deserve an amazing boyfriend?"

"A lot," he whispered gently to her. "And that's why you deserve an amazing boyfriend. You've been through so much, and I'll be there to support you, Babe."

Artemis burried her face into his chest and listened to her favorite music, his heartbeat.

"I love you, Wally."

"I love you too, Artemis."

"...You're still finishing that mid-term paper tomorrow, I'll make sure of it."

Wally let out a sheepish laugh.

I got the idea when I watched the new episode of Young Justice. I loved it so much, but Roy! WHY? Why did you have to let yourself go! That godly body! ...Dick's still my favorite character though. I squeal everytime he's on screen. I LOVE YOU~! XD

I hope you guys enjoyed it. I imagine it would be something like this when those to are together in college like this.
