45. Shut Up
"Artemis?"
Artemis was talking with Zatanna and M'gann, sitting on the floor Indian style when Wally walked up to her. The blond archer stared up at him and frowned. She was not in the mood to talk to Wally right now. She was having a terrible day since the morning and talking to Zatanna and M'gann was her only way to relieve stress other than training her butt off. Her posture stiffened as she glared up at Wally. She did not want to get into a bickering with the young speedster right now.
"What?"
"Can...can I talk to you? In private?" Wally asked a bit nervous.
She raised a brow. Why was Wally acting so nervous? But, when she thought about it Wally had been acting strange around her lately. He would pick less fights with her and try and have a...civil conversation, Wally would be kind and somewhat compliment her and sometimes make her feel better when the mission went wrong, and...it was just strange for him to do that for her. He was out for her head the day she joined the team, blaming her for Red Arrow not joining the team and going the extra mile to make sure she didn't feel welcomed on the team. It didn't help the fact that Artemis developed a crush on the red head.
It was after the whole Bialya fiasco, she like the way Wally treated her without any hostility. The way he would smile and comfort her, hell, she even liked it when he called her beautiful! Feeling welcomed by him, being flirted by him was a nice change and it felt nice to be on that receiving end. But after getting their memories back the two went back into the usual routine and Artemis pushing back that growing feeling for him.
"Sure," she answered and following him outside to the beach. It was a beautiful day out, the sun's light hit the ocean, the reflection bouncing off the water and hitting their faces. The sand felt nice and warm as they sat down on the ground, watching the view that was presented before them. The two were silent for a while, but she could still catch the glances Wally would give her. Artemis sighed. "What did you want to talk about?"
"Oh...uh..."
"Just spit it out, Baywatch."
"I like you!"
"..." Artemis gave him an owlish stare. Did...did she hear it right? Was her hearing going bad? "What?"
Now Wally was becoming all flustered. "I-it's exactly what I said! I really like you! I mean, at first you I didn't like you at all, you irritated me to no end. I was mad that one of my good friend was not joining the team going solo and he wasn't joining because his old partner got himself a new partner," was this going to go anywhere or was this a new way for him to insult her? "But, during Biayla I noticed a lot of things about you I never noticed at first. How nice you look when you were smiling and you weren't glaring at me, how at ease you were when you were with me, how...warm you were when I held you in my arms, and...I couldn't get you out of my mind after that!" Wally sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I continued to argue with you like any other day, but I would notice the small things you would do or sometimes my mind would wonder off to what you are doing when I'm not with you! I would get worried during missions when we're not paired up, hoping that you're-"
Wally was silenced when he felt something warm on his lips. He blinked in surprise as his mind registered what was going on. It was Artemis that was kissing her, both of her hands on his shoulder as her lips were firmly on his. She pulled away before he could do anything.
"Shut up, you talk to much."
Wally grinned. "Shutting up now."
