« are you sure that's the case? »

« I hope so... I mean... when we hang out, the day gets awfully short. »

« just a long day... i need some rest. »

he's a little tired.

« mister know-it-all. » he pinched Wally.

« just fucking try to die. i promise you, I'll bring you back, kill you, and bring you back again. »

« yeah. nobody else can be such a perfect match for you. »

« sap. » Dick smiled, holding Wally's hand and intertwining their fingers.

Dick's fingers were tickling Wally's palm softly. « I might've stolen your line, but I won't stop till I steal your heart. »

« you're overreacting, Wally. relax, and have fun. »

« of course you do... » Dick crossed arms on his chest and tilted his head, placing it on Wally's shoulder.

« did you pick where we will go and what you will have? »

« I'll get you something to eat once we're done here. »

« you aren't. but uhm... let's say you live up to your name. with how *flashy* you are, you can draw a lot of... attention. »

« what do you want me to do? it's a patrol, you *have* to be quiet. »

« you're pretty energetic for somebody who has to be patrolling. » he said and smiled warmly.

blink blink. what was that? he's processing. « ah... yeah? yeah, sure. »

« yeah, Dick, wanna join? I've got 2 bowls, one for you too... aw, thank you Wally. yada-yada-yada. not in this universe. »

« ever heard of sharing? »

« let's say you've earned your right. » he crossed arms, looking away.

... He's thinking, considering... « as much as I want to say no.. I'll say yes. consider it your privilege. »

« whatever you enjoy. anything else you want to grab? »

« you know where it hangs, so... go and grab it. you might need to wash it, though. it must smell like my cologne.

« you can?!... i mean... » quick, try to think of a way to not seem weird. —

«...fuck you, you can't keep secrets. » he's red. (secretly he's a fan-boy)

Dick simply nodded and... he was greedy, hungry, and really passionate about using Wally's skin as a canvas to express all of his feelings. kisses, bites, and hickeys were coating every inch of Wally's neck, shoulders, chest, arms, and collarbones. kind of like a summer rain.

« you do realize that if you give me that, I just... won't stop anytime soon? »

aside from leaving quite the bright bitemarks, Dick began to leave hickeys, just as bright. « I am... enjoying the sweetest thing I've got to taste? 〜 »

despite the kiss being softer and gentler, Dick still got quite playful. breaking the kiss, he buried his nose into Wally's neck, taking a whiff. that pleasant smell... « we've had an amazing breakfast, but I crave for a dessert. » he said, and before Wally could reply, began to bite his neck.

Dick took his time to hold Wally tight, while his mouth was so shamelessly explored. Dick's cheeks were red. he was panting heavily. « I... can imagine. one more? please? »

that was the right time for Dick to step up his game. holding Wally tight and close, he pulled him in for another, longer, deeper kiss than their first one.

Dick finally turned deep red as he wrapped his arm around Wally's waist, kissing the young man back.

Dick was smiling, just an inch or two away from Wally, smirking. « guess. »

« pfft. Wally, it's about the time you get a little braver and see for yourself if it's wrong or no. I'm not biting. » he smiled, looking at the redhead. « at least... not too hard. »

« dunno, it's all up to you 〜 » he smirked and got back to washing the dishes.

Dick burst out laughing, looking at how funny Wally looked, confused, red, totally the show Dick loved.

« what's with that look? I thought you were enjoying it. »

« when things get unreasonably hot, I love to get *unreasonably* hot. » Dick was about to take his pajama shirt off. —

« "cool off"? is that how things are called now? 〜 »

« real nice Dick pics... something I would never expect to hear from you. » Dick smiled, and in a minute, he sent a zip file with all the pics for Wally.

« what? you don't like these? yeah, I guess I should delete these... »

Dick got his phone and opened the gallery...

« so desperate to see them? » he smiled at Wally, about to laugh.

soft gentle smooch Dick planted on the backside of the speedster's palm was followed by a quiet nod. « and get a better grip on what will we do with our lives. »

« never doubted it. that's why we're perfect together, no? »

« ....I guess? »

« finally, both of us are honest about this... I love you too, Wally. »

deep sigh. Dick once again firmly held Wally in his arms. the acrobat knew that it was the time he could let Wally feel weak and vulnerable. thankfully, Dick was strong enough to provide all the safety the other needed.

« for years. » Dick was weirdly calm for a talk like that.

« so I *have* to make things more obvious, yeah? somebody's so smart, he can't understand the basic stuff about feelings? »
