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 당신 doing here?” Raven asked.
“I came to see 당신 Rachel.”
“How'd 당신 know?”
“Uncle probably helped,” Dick muttered.
“Yes he did. Will 당신 put me down?”
“No!”
“Robin! Help!”
“...I'm not Robin. Name's NightWing. And I don't know you.”
“Oh c'mon! Why are 당신 연기 like this now?! I'm in a little trouble!”
“More than a little,” Raven said 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 당신 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 의해 the name of Wally West made my little bird cry. 당신 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 당신 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 로스트 당신 once; I don't want to loose 당신 again. I know this sounds weird, 당신 loving another, but I had to tell you. I 사랑 you. I want 당신 to 사랑 me. And I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”
“...Who said I never loved you?”
“You did. In your messages to Rachel. 당신 admitted to being in 사랑 with someone known as WR. But I want a real name. Who 스톨, 훔친 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 스톨, 훔친 my little bird's heart?”
Dick looked into the 에메랄드 green eyes looking at him intensely.
“You did.”
“W-What?!”
“You 스톨, 훔친 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 당신 sorry for? 당신 didn't do anything!”
“I avoided you. I just didn't know how to be a good friend. Because I thought I was in 사랑 with you; because I know I'm in 사랑 with you.”
“But I should have trusted you. That's what 프렌즈 do. Tell 당신 what, I'll forgive 당신 if 당신 forgive me. Deal Boy Wonder?”
“Deal. Can we be 프렌즈 again?”
“No.”
“No?”
“No. We can be much 더 많이 than that.”
“You mean...”
“Yeah. I 사랑 당신 Dick.”
A single spark is all it takes to start a fire. In this case, a single 키스 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 더 많이 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 당신 two. But Wally, if 당신 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. 당신 have my heart; 당신 always will. And wherever 당신 go, I won't be far behind.”
