24. Valentine's Day
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WALLY WEST!"
Everyone at the cave jumped a foot at the sudden shot that echoed throughout the quiet and peaceful mountain. Robin looked up from the file he was looking through and blinking behind his mask in bewilderment, Conner was rubbing his ears since the scream effected his super hearing, M'gann was tending to her boyfriend while curious about the scream, Kaldur looked up from his training searching where the sound was coming from, Zatanna and Raquel looked up from their talk with a frown on their faces.
A few seconds later Artemis stormed out of the kitchen and was heading straight for the zeta tube, Wally hot on her heel trying to stop her and talk to him.
What had Wally done this time?
"Artemis, wait!"
"Screw you, West!" She snarled. "I'm going home."
"Artemis!" But she already left through the zeta tube. He groaned and rubbed his face.
"What did you do? I never seen her this mad before and that's saying something." Robin walked over to his best friend.
"I don't know! One minute we were talking, she asked what today was and I said no, she suddenly flips out and starts cursing me!"
Everyone blinked at Wally in disbelief. Could...could it be that Wally doesn't remember what today actually really is?
"Wally...you seriously don't know what today is?" Robin asked.
"Not you too!" Wally flailed his arms around.
"Wally, even I remember what today is!" Conner snapped.
"Please don't tell me he's that dense." Raquel face palmed, shaking her head.
"What's everyone going on about?"
"Valentine's day."
Wally looked over to Kaldur.
"Huh?"
Kaldur sighed at the reaction. "Wally, today is Valentine's day."
"It's the first time you and Artemis would have celebrate as a couple, but you managed to screw that up." Robin snorted, crossing his arms.
It took him a minute for the information to sink into his thick skull before he shrieked and ran out of the cave like his life depended on it, which it probably is.
Artemis was seething with rage, glaring at the blank wall of her room.
Their first year as a couple and their first Valentine's day together and Wally had the gall to forget about it! Out of frustration, she grabbed her pillow and screamed into it, not wanting to bother her mom who was just outside of her room. She flopped back to her bed and sighed, hands on her face.
Tap tap tap.
It was probably nothing.
Tap tap tap.
Now Artemis frowned and wondering what the heck that was. She moved from her bed and headed straight for the window. She wasn't expecting her stupid boyfriend to be there on the fire place in front of her window. She had to blink in surprise when to make sure she was seeing right.
"...Can you open the window?" He sheepishly asked.
Her eyes narrowed, but did what she was asked. The minute she opened the window, Artemis turned around and walked away from, her arms firmly crossed.
"Artemis?"
She refused to look at him.
Wally sighed, his shoulder sagging.
"Look, I know I messed up big time by not remembering our first Valentine's together, and all I can say is I'm sorry." Wally walked over to Artemis's bed. "I'm not used to this whole Valentine's thing. I never had to celebrate this holiday and I completely forgot about it. I have to be the most stupidest and horrible boyfriend there ever lived."
Artemis whipped around to yell at him, but she stopped herself when she saw the different items on her bed. A red velvet boxes of chocolate, a banquet of roses, and a stacks of DVDs of her favorite romance movies. Artemis stared at the pile, then at Wally, back to the pile, then back to Wally. The red head scratched the back of his head in a sheepish manner with a small smile.
"...Surprise...?"
"What is all this?"
Wally sighed and walked over to her. "Artemis, just because I forgot about Valentine's day doesn't mean I don't want to spend it with you. I love you Artemis Crock and if you would in doing the honors of spending Valentine's day with me?"
Artemis stared at him. She should be mad at him, but...he was just so dang cute! And sweet...and romantic. Artemis sighed and wrapped her arms around his waist. She heard him sigh with relief as he wrapped his arms around her. Even if it's only been an hour or so, she missed being in his arms.
"Happy Valentine's day, Artemis."
"Happy Valentine's...Baywatch."
Artemis smirked when Wally groaned.
This hit me like a ton of bricks when I heard Wally and Artemis discussing about their Valentine's. It is so Wally to even think about forgetting Valentine's day...five years in a row! XD
Did you guys watched the new YJ episode? I'm watching Blue arguing with the Beatle and thinking, 'That thing has attitude, how does he deal with it?' Seriously, it has serious issue. It's like it's trying to start a war or something.
Hope you guys enjoyed the chapter.
