Stay With Me
“He's back!”
“What?!”
“Wally. He's back!”
Raven muttered under her breath. She motioned for Dick to get behind her. He did as motioned and Raven's telekinetic powers acted up. They heard a surprised screech and then Wally came through the window.
“What are آپ doing here?” Raven asked.
“I came to see آپ Rachel.”
“How'd آپ know?”
“Uncle probably helped,” Dick muttered.
“Yes he did. Will آپ put me down?”
“No!”
“Robin! Help!”
“...I'm not Robin. Name's NightWing. And I don't know you.”
“Oh c'mon! Why are آپ acting like this now?! I'm in a little trouble!”
“More than a little,” Raven کہا sharply.
“Wait! Tell me what I did! If I know what I did, maybe I can explain!”
Raven stared at Wally for a full minute. Then she turned to Dick. He was looking at the speedster carefully before looking up at Raven. Finally, he gave a small nod. Raven turned to Wally.
“You want to know what آپ did? Fine. I'll tell you. Your friend, Dick Grayson? He came to my house. He came here. And boy did I hear a story. A certain speedster سے طرف کی the name of Wally West made my little bird cry. آپ hurt him!”
Dick leaned closer, whispering something into Raven's ear. She took a deep breath and nodded.
“I apologize for my temper. But the fact of the matter is that آپ hurt Dick. Why?”
“I-I-I was being an idiot! Okay? I was being as stupid and careless as always. And I know I made a huge mistake. But, Dick, I want you. I want to be with you. I lost آپ once; I don't want to loose آپ again. I know this sounds weird, آپ loving another, but I had to tell you. I love you. I want آپ to love me. And I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”
“...Who کہا I never loved you?”
“You did. In your messages to Rachel. آپ admitted to being in love with someone known as WR. But I want a real name. Who چرا لیا, چوری کی your heart?”
Dick stared at his best friend. Turning to Raven, he nodded and she released Wally. She exited the room, leaving the two alone. Wally came closer to Dick, wanting to see the truth in those blue eyes that would never be his.
“Please tell me. Who came and چرا لیا, چوری کی my little bird's heart?”
Dick looked into the مرکت, ایمرلڈ green eyes looking at him intensely.
“You did.”
“W-What?!”
“You چرا لیا, چوری کی my heart, Wally.”
“But WR-”
“Stands for Wally Rudolph. Wallace Rudolph West. It would have been too obvious putting WW. So I did something different.”
“I-But-You-?”
“Yeah. It was crazy. I'm sorry.”
“What are آپ sorry for? آپ didn't do anything!”
“I avoided you. I just didn't know how to be a good friend. Because I thought I was in love with you; because I know I'm in love with you.”
“But I should have trusted you. That's what دوستوں do. Tell آپ what, I'll forgive آپ if آپ forgive me. Deal Boy Wonder?”
“Deal. Can we be دوستوں again?”
“No.”
“No?”
“No. We can be much مزید than that.”
“You mean...”
“Yeah. I love آپ Dick.”
A single spark is all it takes to start a fire. In this case, a single kiss was all it took to ignite their love. Wally's lips pressed firmly against Dick's as he held the little bird close. Dick was مزید than happy to respond. Raven peeked out through the almost closed door. A smile lit her face and she knew. She knew Dick had found his someone special. And Wally West had too. When they broke apart, Raven exited.
“I'm happy for آپ two. But Wally, if آپ ever hurt Dick again, I'll hurt you.”
“No fear of that happening. I'm pretty sure I'll be the one getting hurt.”
“By Dick?”
“On occasion.”
“He will be a handful,” Raven admitted. She smiled. “Good luck.”
Raven disappeared again and Wally turned back to his new boyfriend.
“Don't fly away again.”
“I promise Wally. I'll never fly away again. And I'll never fall for another. آپ have my heart; آپ always will. And wherever آپ go, I won't be far behind.”
