Birdflash Week 2019 - Soulmates

I'm sorry

Vs.

Just tell them, ok?

“...Care to explain, Dick?”

Dick looked up, grinning nervously at Wally. “He was seized from a family that couldn’t take care of him properly. I couldn’t just let him stay at the precinct, so I offered to take him home with me. It’s only for a short time, babe.”

Wally glanced skeptically at the rescue dog sitting at Dick’s feet. “Where have I heard that before?”

Dick just grinned sheepishly before standing up and offering the baby to Wally. “Yeah, yeah. Want to hold him?”

Wally didn’t hesitate to reach for the baby, tucking him in his arms expertly. He’d had a lot of practice watching Iris’ twins. “Does he have a name?”

“Not yet, no.”

Day 4 - Fake Dating

Not quite what the prompt calls for, but this idea wouldn't leave me alone, and I didn't mean for there to be this many feels in this prompt, I don't know what happened, but....sorry not sorry?

Wally looked down in slight surprise when his bed at the Mountain dipped suddenly. He glanced back to see the back of his best friend's head, hair a mess - as if he'd been running his fingers through it - face down on his mattress.

His fingers twitched with the sudden urge to try and make the black hair lay flat. Knew it was a hopeless effort at the best of times. He tightened the grip he had on the book in his lap, resisting the temptation.

"What's up boy wonder?"

Dick muttered something unintelligible, and frustrated, into Wally's comforter, shoving his face further into the bed.

"I'm sorry, I don't speak mattress-ese. How about we try that without a mouthful of blankets?"

Dick pushed his arms under himself, raising his head far enough from the bed that he could glare at his so-called best friend.

"I said, I hate prom season. And people that can't seem to understand the words, no thank you."

Wally raised one brow questioningly at the look of frustrated exasperation on Dick's face. Wally shuffled on the bed turning to face his friend, folding the corner of his page so he didn't lose it, and tossing it aside, gave Dick his full attention.

"Lay it on me. Tell old Wal man all your woes."

And that was all the prompting Dick needed. Explained how a senior girl kept asking him to prom, thankfully so far without an audience, but notes in his locker, his bag, her friends slipping him notes, his friends slipping him notes! He'd told her no, as gently, but firmly as he could, cause she was sweet and he didn't want to hurt her feelings, "but I'm pretty sure she's gearing up for some big elaborate ask in front of a huge crowd, and I don't want to hurt her, but I will say no in front of the entire school if I have to."

Dick flopped back on the bed, once his rant was finished, so he was staring up at the ceiling, eyes tired.

"Why not just say you have a date already?"

Dick raised his head enough to glare at Wally. "And then show up at prom sans said date?" He shook his head and dropped it back down onto the bed. "No way. I still have one more year left at that hell hole, I'm not making it any worse for myself."

Wally bit his lip, fingers worrying with the cuffs of his shirt, tugging at a loose thread. He can't believe he's about to suggest this, but he wants to help his friend. Wants to see him smile, wants to be the cause of it.

"What if... what if you brought a date?"

Dick's head shot up so fast Wally winced for him. "What?!"

"A date. What if you brought one. Then you wouldn't be lying?"

"Okay yeah, but who can I ask on short notice, Z has her own to go to, Arty thinks my suffering is hilarious, Roy's off who knows where - "

And Wally felt his heart sink as he wasn't even considered an option, but here he was opening his big mouth again anyway.

"I-I could go with you." He blushed at the way his voice cracked, and he glanced down at his hands so he didn't have to see the rejection on Dick's face.

When Dick didn't say anything after a few moments, Wally tensed up, shoulders going tight, hunching up by his ears. "Never mind, it was a dumb idea. I'm sorry I said -" he cut himself off when a hand touched his leg.

"Really? You'd do that for me?"

Wally just smiled, a little sadly, nodding. "Yeah man, of course. We're best buds, I know you'd do the same for me." His heart nearly breaking, the words like dirt on his tongue.

Wally was surprised when he suddenly had a lap full of a happily laughing Dick Grayson, and he hugged him back on instinct, blushing at the way Dick's face was tucked into his neck.

"Of course I would! Best friends for life man."

Dick pulled back to look Wally in the eye, a wide smile nearly splitting his face in two. "Thank you! You're the best. I don't know how to thank you enough for this."

Wally laughed, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. "No big deal dude. Just text me the deets and let me know when and where."

Dick nodded, smile still on his face as he rolled out of Wally's lap and onto the floor. "Will do! And thanks again Wally, I really appreciate you helping me out."

"Anytime Dickie-bird."

He watched Dick bounce out his room, waiting a few moments to be sure Dick was gone, before throwing himself backwards onto his bed, groaning, covering his face with his hands.
