Meaning: Elegance, beauty
Zatanna covered her mouth to mask the yawn, closing her eyes and stretching her arms out. She never was the most studious member of the team to begin with, and it didn't help that Captain Atom's lectures were notoriously taxing on one's ability to stay awake.
She looked to the side and held back a giggle as she spotted her boyfriend dozing off, his head on the table and his back slouched over. If Captain Atom caught him, the penalty would be an extra hour of training on the weekend. And seeing as how she made plans to hang out with him then…
Dick snapped up quickly when he felt something hit the side of his head, worried that their teacher had finally noticed him slacking off. Fortunately, it was just a piece of paper someone threw at him. He unraveled it to see a small heart drawn on the inside, and he looked to the source and scratched the back of his neck as he saw Zatanna smirking at him playfully.
The magician lifted up her notebook to show off a rather impressive doodle of the Boy Wonder sleeping in class, and he blushed. He picked up his own pencil and flipped to a different page in his notebook, and Zatanna rolled her eyes and sighed as she turned back to the lecture. Looks like she wouldn't be getting any amusement after all.
Boys could be so oblivious sometimes.
A few minutes later, Zatanna felt a small paper bop her on the head, and she turned back to see Dick holding up his notebook with a cocky smirk. The magician blushed as she noticed a beautiful portrait of her side profile with a heart encircling it. She bit her inner lip and turned to a new page in her notebook, and Dick wondered what she could ever do to top that.
Minutes passed like seconds to him, and he soon gave up and turned back to the lecture, assuming she'd caved in and he had won their little contest. But a little while later, a piece of paper was thrown at his head and he turned back to see the raven-haired girl smirking as she held up a drawing of the two of them watching the sunset together.
They were holding hands, and if he didn't know any better he'd say she cheated and used magic to make it.
He shook his head with a smile and conceded defeat, and she blew him a kiss as he scratched the back of his neck. Zatanna was quite possibly the most competitive person he'd ever met, not to mention one of the most talented. But before either of them could do anything else, their teacher said something that threw them completely off guard.
"Okay, class. I'm gonna come by to check your notes now. Leave your books on your desks."
Both Dick and Zatanna blushed furiously and stared at each other. When Captain Atom saw their "notes", he'd no doubt find some terrible way to embarrass them in front of the rest of the team, not to mention the repercussions that would follow.
The magician eventually flashed him a small smile and rubbed her shoulder, shrugging while he stared at her in bewilderment.
Oh, well. If they were going to get an extra hour of training, at least it'd be together.
