Hey there guys! So, starting today I'll be holding a countdown to Young Justice! By posting a new AU everyday featuring, well, mostly romantic pairings with some friendship stuff thrown in there too. Expect Chalant, Spitfire, Cheshroy, and more.

Technically this was supposed to be a 10 day event, but last night I was not able to post because of a family emergence, but to make up for that I'll post 3 over the course of the weekend. (Also being posted on Fanfic, btw)

So, to start off the countdown, I feel like it's appropriate to start out with some Chalant, so enjoy Day 9 guys!

Characters: Dick/Zatanna, mentions of Wally/Artemis and super tiny hints of Megan/Conner

The only reason that he knew her name was because she was in his Global History 101 class.

But he knew who she was way before that.

He had seen her around campus a couple of time… okay it was six exactly. He saw her walking with her friends, getting coffee at one of the many coffee kiosks around campus, going in and out of the library. It wasn't till she was sitting three rows and four seats to the left of his did he become fully enamored with her and her brilliant, shinning eyes.

It was ironic you could say, that out of the one hundred plus kids that were in their lecture class, her name was the only one the professor knew. It was true because she was a bit of a teacher's pet really, her hand would shoot up every time the professor asked a question, and she always got it right. He knew she got straight A's too, he could see the way her face would light up every time she got a test or essay back with a red A circled at the top; he also knew about her study habits, he had started seeing her every night in the library since he has to pass it every night to get back to his dorm. He would see her through the library's giant window, she always sat at the same table, sitting with a blonde and sometimes a dark skinned girl as well.

He'd never seen someone work so diligently as her, it was refreshing really.

Soon he began to wonder if she knew who he was as well, because, well, who didn't? He was the son of a billionaire, heir to the Wayne fortune. It seemed like everyone knew who he was, but he really only wanted her attention.

After half of a semester of losing his ability to form words every time she was even remotely close to him, he thought that he would never get a chance to talk to her, let alone tell her how he felt.

That is until his best friend invited him to a Halloween bash that a friend of a friend was throwing, aka one of the frats were throwing a party. According to Wally, he was "in major need of a good time." Which meant that Wally thought that he needed to get drunk, make-out with a few girls, and forget all about those blue eyes that had been plaguing his every thought for the past 10 weeks.

(He went as a pirate, hoping he would be able to blend in with the all the drunk college student)

They arrived "fashionably late" by Wally's standards. As they made their way through the packed frat house, they attempted not to get caught on one of the many ridiculous outfits; successfully making it to the backyard without an incident with drinks in hand, where kids were drunkenly jumping into the pool: costumes either completely off or completely on.

"Some party." said Wally, scanning the crowd.

Dick nodded, taking a sip of his drink. It tasted like feet.

"How about we find ourselves some chicks and-" Wally's smile dropped, "Fuck."

Dick followed Wally's line of vision, it landed on a very pretty blonde, where did he know her from? She was animatedly talking to a couple, her blonde hair shinning under the moon and the lights. The couple, a petite redhead and a muscular (like rip-you-in-half-with-a-look muscular) guy with hair the color of his own, seemed to be laughing at whatever she was saying.

"Who's that?" Dick gestured towards the group with his drink.

"Oh, just the bane of my existence." explained Wally with a little scoff. "She's been in a few of my classes over the years, she thinks she's all that and she's controlling and bossy, and she's-"

"Really pretty and looking hot in that Greek goddess costume?" supplied Dick.

"Yeah, she does look- I mean, look at her! She's dressed so- so provocatively!" said Wally.

"Provocatively?"

"Yes! You know what, I'm going to go tell her!"

Dick watched as his friend stormed over to the mysterious blonde goddess. He watched as the other couple sneaked away, watched as Wally and the girl suddenly were engrossed in a heated argument. Dick couldn't help but smirk.

"You know they're in love?" came a voice from behind him.

He turned around and his eyes locked with those that had pretty much plagued his every thought since he first laid eyes on them and they were even brighter and blue and more beautiful than he ever imagined. She smiled sweetly at him, her glossy black waves were pulled back into a high ponytail and she was wearing a purple Arabian princess costume; she looked like she walked out of that one Disney movie.

It took a few seconds for seconds for his brain to start functioning again, and then a few more for him to stop opening and closing his mouth like an idiot. He swallowed, "Should we tell them?"

She laughed, "Do best friends have the right to do that?"

"Of course they do. I'm Dick by the way." he said, sticking out his hand.

She grabbed his hand, "Zatanna."

He smiled, "I know."

They held each other's hand longer than they really needed to, like they were under a spell. Well, more like he was under her spell. But the spell was broken as Zatanna looked away.

"Looks like someone made up." she gestured over his shoulder.

He looked back and saw that Wally now had his Greek goddess pressed up against the nearest tree, her legs securely wrapped around his waist, kissing feverishly.

"About time." commented Dick.

"Hmm… yeah…"

They stood in a somewhat awkward silence. Dick thought back to all those nights that he stayed up thinking about her, all those nights where he listened to Wally on the phone going on and on about some obnoxious girl; they were related in a way. They both constantly thought about this one girl… Dick just didn't expect Wally's to be beautiful by the way he described her… but still, Wally had taken a risk and it seemed to work out… maybe…

"Hey, would you like to maybe, I don't know, get coffee or something sometime?" he asked. His hand shot up to his hair, he could feel his face reddening. This is what happens when you stick your neck out…

Her cheeks were lightly flushed as well and she stared down at her shoes, "Like- like a date, or something?"

"Yeah, I mean, if you want it to be…" he sighed, "Look, I'm trying to be all nonchalant here-"

"Why?" she cut in, looking up at him from under her eye lashes. "Be as chalant as you like."

"Do you want to get out of here?" he asked boldly.

Zatanna glanced back at their friends, they didn't seem to be taking a break anytime soon.

"You better have some damn good coffee."

She missed the smirk on his face as she pulled him towards the door.

45 minutes later they were back at his dorm, lukewarm coffee mugs rested on the table, forgotten. Clothes were tossed carelessly around the room. And she was on top of him. Him. Only wearing her bra and underwear, kissing her way down his neck to suck on his collarbone.

(She made sure to leave her mark)

"I thought I should tell you," he managed out, she was very distracting you know. "I don't do this sort of thing a lot."

"Oh?" she asked between kisses.

"Yeah, usually I take a girl out to dinner, you know, get to know her."

"Is there something you want to know?" she asked, a playfully smirk played on her face as she brought it level with his.

He smiled back, "Tell me something that no one else knows. Something that I wouldn't expect. Surprise me."

She brought her mouth down to his ear, "Do you mean you want to know my sweet spots?" She kissed the shell of his ear before nibbling on his ear lobe.

"No… I don't want this to just be casual sex. I really like you, Zee."

She stopped nibbling and pulled back, "I nac yas gnihtyna I tnaw sdrawkcab."

Dick blinked. "Um, pardon?"

"I can talk backwards." she explained.

"Really?"

"Yllear." she smiled. "Know, let's get back to the fun stuff."

Dick cupped her cheeks and brought her lips incredibly close to hers and whispered, "Say it backwards."

And when she did, he'd never encountered anything hotter; well, at that point he really wasn't thinking with his head anymore, but it was definitely up there. Oh well, he just needed to remember to call Wally in the morning and thank him.

I still need some ideas for later stories, if you have any ideas, message me! :D

And reviews?
