Chaotic Love: A Artemis Crock Fanfic

Chapter 5: Learning to Adjust

It's morning in James's room as he wakes up slowly, stretching his arms up and over his head.

James turns to see Zatanna sleeping peacefully beside him with a happy smile on her cute sleeping face.

James smiles and gently kisses Zatanna's forehead with brotherly affection and quietly gets up and starts his morning routine.

James hops in the shower for several minutes to freshen up, washing his greasy brown hair thoroughly.

James hops out of the shower and dries himself off with a towel, he then fixes his hair with a comb and then uses magic to change his clothes.

James walks out and still sees Zatanna asleep on his bed, he smiles fondly and decides to gently climb back onto his bed and relax for a minute.

Zatanna stirs and snuggles closer to James, mumbling and babbling random gibberish in her sleepy state of mind.

James smiles fondly and holds Zatanna gently, he then kisses her forehead with brotherly affection.

Zatanna's smile grows wider, feeling the gentle kisses on her forehead and subconsciously knowing their source.

James smiles and grabs his phone and plays on it for a little bit.

Zatanna moans in her sleep, resting her head on James's shoulder rather than his pillow.

James smiles fondly and gently rubs Zatanna's head.

Zatanna smiles sweetly in her sleep, instinctively knowing the affection was coming from James.

James smiles and continues to gently rub Zatanna's head.

Zatanna turns over in her sleep, her long black hair sticking up in places, using James's shoulder as a makeshift pillow.

James smiles fondly and continues to gently rub Zatanna's head, he even gives her loving kisses on her forehead as well.

Zatanna's eyelids flicker and they slowly open, she hums softly, feeling comfortable in James's brotherly embrace.

James smiles fondly and then says, "Good morning little sis."

Zatanna smiles and then her mouth falls open to release a loud but cute yawn, stretching her entire body to loosen her joints. She then says, "Good morning *yawn* bro-bro."

James smiles and then asks, "Did you sleep well sis?"

Zatanna nods and then happily chirps, "Yes I did bro-bro! Your bed is way more comfortable than mine, I need a new mattress for my bedframe."

James smiles and then says, "Maybe you should ask your father about that when you can."

Zatanna then says, "That is, if Daddy ever answers my calls. Most of them go straight to voice-mail, and those that don't only last like two minutes before he ends the call abruptly to handle quote on quote 'League business'."

James then says, "Hey, your father is a busy man and sometimes he doesn't get time to look at his phone, I'm sure it kills him to not talk to you for long periods of time."

Zatanna nods with a small frown and then says, "Yeah bro-bro, I know it hurts him, but I wish he knew how much it hurts me whenever he's absent. I miss my Daddy. The house always feels colder without the warmth he emanates."

James nods understandably and then says, "How about we go get some breakfast little sis, sound good?"

Zatanna smiles a little happier and excitedly nods, her stomach rumbling hungrily from the sound of hot delicious breakfast.
