In his eagerness he did not realize that his quicker breaths meant Roy was starving for his own until the archer pulled away. Wallace was still in his needy trance, eyes closed at first when he leaned after, only to pause and open them when he heard the soft gasp. Oh, heh. That damn silly grin made Wally want to smack the back of Roy's head and kiss him breathless again.

Heat crept into his cheeks making freckles become darker as that light teasing made him groan, partly embarrassed and relieved. Wally trusted Roy after being team mates and friends for years and this was a first experience. "Hated it." The smile gave his lie away immediately. "Are you going to let me be a gentleman? Let me thank you properly?" One hand rose up to rub the back of Roy's neck, tenderly in hopes the man would melt against him. Wally liked when he did that. Of course there was a selfish need to add another layer after that experience. He felt centered for the moment and it was thanks to Roy.

Roy paused at the question. He straightened a bit in his seat and lifted the goggles from his eyes, staring blankly at the chip he was currently working on it was almost visibly apparently how hard the gears were working inside that head of his.

"... I don't think so." He murmured at first, and a moment later, let out a soft chuckle. "No, no I did not. Huh, no wonder why my thoughts are so foggy." He said and stretched his neck, reaching to take off his gloves.

"It's easy to get into new projects and forget to eat." He'd gotten used to people at the office checking in on him; it only seemed fair to do it for Roy. "I'll get you a glass of water for now, in case delivery takes a while." Q decided, heading out of the room.

"Might as well just drive there myself, it's a short ride on the bike." He said as Q retuened with a glass of water, thanking him with a nod and picked it up to drink. "Besides, as much as I appreciate the hustle, I don't really trust half the delivery guys around to bring your milkshake over without spilling it all over their backseats." He chuckled and picked up the glass, finishing the water in a few sips.

"Every mistake comes with consequences."

"Do you deserve it? Have you earned it?"

"I'll do better next time. I'll make you proud."

"Things don't work that way anymore."

"Knowing you has made everything that has ever happened to me feel worth it."

"I didn't earn this. I don't deserve it. I can't even imagine what I would have to do to become the kind of person who does."

"If you weren't ready to feel my teeth at your throat, you shouldn't have taught me how to bite."

"I wish they'd all just shut up about me already."

"Being in the public eye is a living nightmare."

"You have to trust your own judgment. You have to take the leap."

"I've never been so terrified of getting it wrong in my entire life."

"You can lie to yourself all you want, but that's not going to make the truth disappear."

"I know what I am. I've always known what I am. And I've always been okay with that, but... it's different now that I know you."

"Suffice to say, it did not make for a pleasant read."

"Don't take this the wrong way, but that looks exactly like the sort of car I'd expect somebody like you to drive."

"Did you put Red Bull in your coffee again?"

"Am I ever going to get any of this right?"

"You're fidgeting worse than a fieldmouse in a tree full of hungry, hooting owls!"

"You're the bravest person I've ever met."

"Sometimes, it feels like I could go blind just from looking at you for too long."

"I'm honored to fight alongside you. ...In a totally normal, casual, not at all hero worship kind of way."

"Don't remind me of happier times, [name]."

"Just yell at him until he cries. That always works for me."

"Can't you see I'm busy trying to repress my thoughts and feelings?"

"Thinking somebody else is going to step in and help you is a stupid and dangerous way to live. You can't count on anyone but yourself."

"I'll handle it alone. That's how I handle everything."

"Maybe taking in a teenager you've only known for three weeks wasn't the greatest idea in the world."

"Mistakes aren't always a bad thing, you know. Mistakes mean you're moving forward. Mistakes mean you had the guts to try."

"That's your problem. You're so scared of doing something wrong that you never do anything right."

"I wasn't good enough."

"Look, nine times out of ten, you're right. But you couldn't be more wrong about this."

"I don't know what I was thinking. I don't know why I thought I could do this."

"You'd be better off if you'd never even met me."

"That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life."

"I made a mistake. I made a really stupid mistake, and I have to fix it before it's too late."

"Who's that talking to me right now? Who's that coming out of your mouth? 'Cause it's definitely not you. You're too smart to be spouting that kind of baloney."

"You can't take orders from anybody, can you?"

"He must be rubbing off on you."

"You don't run from a fight. That's not who you are. So what's got you thinking that's the answer this time?"

"I'm not running from the fight. Running from the fight is easy. And this is going to be the hardest thing I've ever done."

"If I go through with this... I'll never see you again, will I?"

"Sorry I couldn't make it to Algebra II today. I was kind of busy saving the world."

"You wouldn't ask for help if you had a gun to your head, would you?"

"It's obvious once you know where to look."

"Is that a serious question?"

"I'm not really crazy about how you just dismissed the very real problem of having no heat in the Canadian winter as hullabaloo."

"Can't be too bad if you're still breathing."

"I'm not angry with you. That's just my default expression."

"Don't give me any of that Hallmark bullshit."
