As Time Passed

Chapter 14

(Dick's Profile)

I had awoken earlier than Wally and so I watched him sleep. God, I sound like some stalker. I silently groaned to myself and tried to make that less creepy. Nope. Nothing can make that any less creepy. 

This time I groaned softly out loud. If there was one word to describe Wally, it's gorgeous. That is the one thing I think of as soon as I hear his name. His bright, red hair, his perfectly shaded green eyes, those amazingly shaped lips, the cute little nose that was in the middle of his face, oh, and you can't forget his freckles. His body is literally covered in them. His white skin made them stand out- unless he was blushing- then, oops, they're gone. All in all, he is gorgeous. God clearly had fun making him into a person. Besides, it's not all looks. His soul is amazing as well. Wally is so kind, so caring, not to just me, but to everyone. He makes sure no one feels left out or is picked on. He is just perfection and there are a million more reasons as to why I fell in love with him in the first place.

I felt him stiffen and after a few moments I saw him freak out a little bit. His stomach was moving in tune with his breathing and that seemed to have picked up. Wally was hyperventilating and I quickly put my hands on his shoulders. "Woah, Wally breath. It's okay, I'm here. It's okay, you're safe." I said, trying to calm him down. As soon as my words reached him he seemed to calm down. I felt myself release a sigh of relief. I peered over him so close my hair was just barely on his cheek. Soon, I saw tired, green-emerald green- eyes meet my own. "Good morning." I told my boyfriend. Wally sat up so quickly, I had hardly enough time to react. "Dick! You need to go home. Like now." He said sternly. I gave him a confused look and then understood perfectly. "Wally, you do realize you aren't at your house right now, right?" 

 I looked at my boyfriend and saw him take in the room. Once or twice I saw him smile to himself before turning to look at me. Wally passed me a smile and I had gladly returned it. "You want to know something?" I nodded quickly, trying to figure what 'it' was before he told me. Detective skills, remember? Before he told me, he kissed me first. I smiled and leaned into the kiss. His lips were soft and the perfect shape. You know how some people think they're hands fit together like puzzle pieces? Well, to me that's how it is with our lips. Yeah, yeah, I know creepy right? Well, that's how it is for me, so whatever. 

Wally finally pulled away much to my disappointment. I could kiss him forever. He beamed at me and finally, finally spoke. I had looked down to mess with my hands when I heard him. "I love you too Richard Grayson." I immediately  looked up at him. "Y-you heard me last night?" I asked, my mouth gaping. Yet, I couldn't suppress the happiness that swelled inside me. "Yes, I did and because of it I fell asleep with a smile on my face." Wally told me and my whole chest swelled. He loves me. He loves me back! My thoughts were yelling at me and I knew for a fact I wasn't doing well on keeping that stupid grin off my face. "I really do love you Wallace West." I smiled up at him and he grinned. A real grin, not the ones he's been passing to everyone-including me- now a days. 

"Dick, you are my whole world. Ever since I met you I knew. I knew it was you. I thought, it's him. It has to be him. And shockingly, it was. I knew soon enough you would tell me who it was, I just had to wait patiently. I did and damn was it worth it. Again, you mean so much to me than I think you will ever know." Wally finished his speech and I was breathless. Everything he said and so much more was exactly how I feel about him. Damn it. I really do love this kid, don't I? He was smiling sheepishly and I smiled back. I noticed how his manner had changed and I smirked. "Is Wallace West shy?" I teased him, loving the fact on how red he turned. "Shut up. I was trying to have a moment, but you ruined it." He giggled and threw a pillow at me. I dodged it, of course, and stuck my tongue out at him even though he couldn't see. This is my favorite thing in the world. Having my boyfriend and bestfriend just being us. 

A knock took us out of our childs play. "Master Dick, I presume Master Wallace will be staying?" Alfred asked. I smiled when Wally mouthed 'how did he know I was here?' and held a finger up. "Yes, I believe he will. Thanks Alfred." I called out. I turned to look at him and smiled. "He's Alfred. He knows almost more than Batman." Wally returned the smile and just stared at me. It's the eyes. Everyone always stares at my eyes. "Like what you see, pretty boy?" I smirked. Wally winked at me and kissed me.  I kissed him back and pulled away after a few-more like one-minutes. He gave a whine and I chuckled quietly. "Come on, you're never one to miss out on food, Wallace." I giggled, knowing that he hates his first name. I dropped the fun act and became very serious. "Besides, you need it. I could see that much from last night." 

I met his eyes and looked into his sad eyes. Who ever made your eyes- made you- like this, I swear to God I will make them go through hell. I snarled in my mind. "Wally... Please tell me who did this. Please." I cried. His eyes widened and dropped to the floor. He shook his head. "I-I can't... Dick you don't understand." I slipped my fingers under his chin and forced him to look up at me. "Maybe I would if you would tell me." I heard the irritation had slipped into my voice. He looked up at me, his face was pale and his eyes glossy. "I have to use the restroom." He barely got his voice over a whisper and then he was gone. 

I groaned. He can be so stubborn sometimes! I thought he trusted me enough to tell me, I guess I was wrong. I walked to the door and unlocked it with the keypad next to it. I watched as it opened and I saw Wally flop to his side. Shit. He passed out from little food and water. I bet he was panicking too. If so, it wouldn't help his condition what-so-ever. I rushed to his side and held his face in my hands. "Wally? Babe. Come on! Please, you have to stay awake. Please. You have to be okay. Please don't lose consciousness. Please. I love you, please..." His green eyes dulled even more and rolled back inside his head. "Bruce! Dad! Alfred! Someone!" Goddamn it Dick. Pull yourself together for crying out loud. You're being pathetic. I snarled to myself. Bruce rushed up-if you ask him, he'd deny it- and immediately dropped to my side. "Come on, let's get him to the Cave." Bruce told me calmly.  I nodded and followed him to the Cave. 

Bats hooked him up to an IV into his arm and examined his wounds. His stomach was the worst. From his chest down to his waist line of his pants was covered in blue and purple. There was also sight of blood. I felt the insides of my stomach twist and I felt like puking. Who in their right mind thinks they have the right to hurt him that way? I clenched my fist so hard my knuckles turned white. Please just let it not be his Dad. Anyone but him. Please. Bruce kneeled by my side and his face was grim. "Dick, I'm sorry to tell you this, but he didn't get those injuries from fighting. Well, fighting as Kid Flash." My eyes filled up with tears and I couldn't look at him. I didn't want to know what he was going to say next. Of course, I already did, but as soon as he says it... My fears are going to become reality and I can't have that. 

"We have to access the bug I planted in his house." 

A/N: I am so sorry it's super short and I am the worst person ever for not continuing on his view, but I felt like that was a good place to stop. I'm sorry, I love you all.
