DONT ASK ABOUT THE TITLE I HAVE NO IDEA I HAAVE RUN OUT OF CREATIVITY I AHFJKAHFJDKSLA
BTW, you have short white hair that fades to pastel pink, you are the princess of some planet, and you have the ability to fly, control air and withstand cold. You also have a third eye?? + you are FEMALE in this!

"[y/n], are you alright?" Aqualad asked, placing you down gently on cold, hard ground,
you groaned as you touched the ground, and he cradled your head in his lap.
"Where... Where are we?" you ask, head pounding.
"In a cave. The others are defending us outside," Aqualad explained.
"What...are we doing here?" you asked, wincing a bit as a huge explosion sounded outside.
"We came here to Canada for a mission. We split up in teams of two, and we were together. You... took a pretty bad hit to the head, and you were out for a couple of minutes. I managed to bring you here for the time-being."
You rubbed your head, your mind still quite fuzzy. "Yeah... I think everything's clearer now. though, I do still feel a bit out of it..."
"Yeah, you should rest," Aqualad soothed, running his fingers across your hair gently.
You shook your head, attempting to sit up. "N-No... My head hurts too much, and – and my eyes hurt when I close them... I'd rather..." As comfortable as Aqualad's lap was, you couldn't stay down anymore. You felt as though you were going to puke because of how your sense of direction was all messed up from this angle. For some reason Kid Flash was standing...sideways?
Aqualad got what you meant and helped your up to a sitting position.
"Thanks," you gulp, trying to suppress the nausea. When it was mostly gone, you realised how close you were to Aqualad. You didn't mind, though, and rested your head around the Atlantean's shoulder. You and him had always been quite close, since you joined the team, which was almost a year ago. You had much to thank him for, making you feel welcomed to the team, and making you feel like you belonged. Even when you had doubts about your physical traits, like how you had a third eye when no one else did – he managed to calm you down and reassure you that you were still beautiful, that you were unique. He made you embrace who you really are.
You felt him shift a little and soon felt his arm around you, resting at your hip. You blushed at this gesture, but didn't protest. You quite liked it, actually. You snuggled closer to him, relishing the warmth he provided.
"[y/n]."
"Hm?" you hummed, pulling back a little to look up at him.
"I – I know this is not an ideal place, to do this, but I don't think I'll ever have another opportunity – " he stopped, leaning a bit closer.
Your mind reeled. Was he going to kiss you? Finally? You leaned in as well, closing your eyes, anticipating the kiss –
"The baddies are gone, we are – WOAH."
You and Kaldur automatically pulled apart, Kaldur retracting his arm from around your waist. You looked up to see a stumped Kid Flash.
Kaldur cleared his throat. "Yes, uh, we'll be there soon."
Kid just nodded and left.
"[y/n] – "
"Ugh, Kaldur, my head hurts," you groaned, wincing at the sharp pains that seemed to pierce through your skull.
"I've got you, I've got you," Kaldur muttered as he picked you up gently, and carried you bridal style to the bioship.
You blushed, but did not complain. Once on the bioship, you were put on a medical bed, for you to have some "sleep". But you got no sleep whatsoever – you could only think about the cave – what happened – what could have happened.
The entire flight back was relatively silent, a few remarks sent by Robin and Artemis, even Wally was quiet. Shit... he must still be thinking about what had happened. Damn.
When the ship landed, you all filed into the Mt Justice and it was silent. You quirked an eyebrow at Robin, Artemis, Wally, M'gann and Superboy. Doesn't take a genius to figure out they were having a psychic conversation.
You rolled your eyes, annoyed, and snapped at them. "Okay, we get it, you're having a psychic conversation. Cut it out!" you rolled your eyes again and huffed. "Care to share?"
Suddenly, they were all stuttering, mumbling some shit excuse to leave the area.
"I, uh, have to attend my little sister's ballet recital – "
"You don't even have a little sister, Artemis!" you shrieked.
"Or do I?" Artemis smirked, before leaving the room.
You rolled your eyes, and now it was only you and Kaldur in the room.
"Hey, how're you feeling?"
"I'm fine, much better, actually." You smiled. "Thanks for helping me."
"No worries. I can't leave a teammate in danger."
The room grew silent again, and the awkwardness was thick.
Talk, now! you were screaming at yourself. This was the best opportunity, the only opportunity.
"Kaldur," you rushed out.
"Yes, [y/n]?" he turned to meet your gaze.
You stared into his pale green eyes. "Kaldur... back at that cave... you know I really..."
He moved closer to you, placing on hand on your face, cupping your cheek. You snuggled slightly into his palm. Wrapping your arms around his neck, you tiptoed to match his height.
"I've waited for quite a long time, Kaldur," you whispered.
"So have I, believe me."
You pulled him down to your lips, and it felt like pure bliss. As though all your worries had gone away, and all that mattered was the then and now. Nothing could compare to your feelings being reciprocated.
A huge flash went off. "OHMYGODICANTBELIEVETHIS!"
You pushed Kaldur off you by instinct and screamed. You were ready to attack, until you saw... Artemis with a camera, Wally and Robin fangirling at the back.
You face-palmed, before yelling at them. You were pissed as hell, and they were not getting away with this. Why are my friends like this...
"ARTEMIS CROCK WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU, I'LL – " your speech was cut off when you felt a pair of lips connect with yours.
You heard squeals behind you, but whatever. Fuck it. You wrapped your arms around Kaldur's shoulders and he pulled you in closer. You broke off for oxygen and snuggled into his chest while his arms were around your waist. You loved hugs, and was always up for them. Always.
"Hey, wanna go to my room and watch Pretty Little Liars?" you asked.
"Anything for you, beautiful. But you know, I love that show."
He started walking you towards your room, arm around your shoulders and you resting your head on his shoulder.
"I know. That's why I started watching it."

"Okay, I got a total of twenty shots – they all look the same BUT THERE IS a difference in every single photography, okay. so, we get these developed, then we frame them in every room in Mount Justice."
Wally and Robin grinned. "You are amazing, Artemis"
