Chalant Kisses

Lingering Lip Kiss

"The most desired gift of love is not diamonds or roses or chocolate. It is focused attention." ~ Richard Warren

Zatanna's locker did not look the same way it did before she left to go to her last class of the day. The door was about to explode off of it's hinges trying to stay shut. Letters with hearts, chocolates and gifts were bulging from her locker threatening to fall out.

"Looks like someone has a few admirers." Cecily was walking beside her when she saw the pandemonium that was her locker. Tommy scoffed beside her.

"A few? It looks like at least half of the 4th period gym class stuffed her locker!"

"I'm actually scared to open it," Zatanna admitted.

"Hold on, let me go get you a trash can or something to put all this in." Tommy ran back down the hall to look for something big enough to hold all the letters and candy."

"Look at it this way, Tanna. At least you know you're appreciated," Cecily said, seeing the exasperation plain as day when Zatanna walked a wide circle around her locker.

"Gee, thanks Cily." She stepped back when one of the chocolate candies fell from the overstuffed locker. "I don't even think that I can eat all of this."

"Ooh can I get half?" Cecily asked as she bent over to pick up the fallen chocolate.

"If you carry it sure."

"I couldn't get a trash bag, but I got the next best thing." Tommy ran back carrying two large garbage bags. He noticed the look the two teenagers were giving him. "What? Is she not going to share the candy?"

Zatanna tossed her hands in the air and Cecily started laughing. "You two must have set me up."

"Just open the locker and get to putting the candy in the bag a'ight."

The creaking of the locker cut off Zatanna's retort. "But seriously, let's empty this locker before the door burst off its hinges," Cecily said.

Tommy held the locker door and Cecily and Zatanna held the bag up to catch it. "Okay. On one... two,,, three!"

She had the bag of chocolates and love letters slung over her shoulder when she entered the Cave. Her locker had exploded from the pileup. Most of it landed in the bag, the rest they spent five minutes picking up and another fifteen minutes split the candy between the three of them. She still ended up with a lot of candy.

"Hey Valentine's Day Zatanna." Robin was sitting on the floor in front of the couch. There was a large bucket of popcorn and a tray of nachos in front of him. The main menu of her favorite movie was displayed on the TV.

"What's this?"

"I found the movie at a Redbox. I knew that it was your favorite and I thought you might've wanted to watch- mmh."

Zatanna captured her lips in between hers before he could finish his sentence. It was a sweet kiss, no fighting for dominance or involvement of tongue. It was just a gentle meeting of their two mouths.

It lasted for thirty seconds before she pulled away. Both were breathing heavily.

"Just some gifts and candy from school. Wanna share?" She answered his question from before about the bag.

"Sure," he eyed the sack of treats and letters, "But I don't think we'll be able to eat all of that."

"We can give the rest to Wally."

"Sounds like a plan."
