It was a quiet night, barely even any bugs making noise outside. You could easily hear everything. So, naturally, it was a perfect night for the local, kinda-secret couple. Eddie and Frank were having a discreet visit at Frank's house, planning on cuddling and just hanging out in general. They were both in nighttime clothes already so they could sleep whenever they needed. This was something calm that was away from the constant hustle, bustle, and buzz of the small but eventful neighborhood.

As Eddie and Frank settled on the couch with Frank quietly ranted about butterflies with a book out, Eddie listened intently. Though, while he listened to Frank's every word, he heard another sound. Eddie gently shushed Frank, who quickly stopped talking to listen in case someone was approaching their house and would see Eddie inside.

Sure enough, there were barely-audible, slow footsteps. From what the two were able to barely hear, those footsteps sounded as if the feet were being dragged along the ground and therefore belonged to someone tired. Those little footsteps could be heard slowly but surely shuffling to Frank's porch. The two could hear the footsteps stop for a moment, sounding as if they stopped right at where Frank's porch started.

After a minute or two of no sound from the footsteps, as if contemplating, they started up again and had been making their way to the door, still quiet and tired, but just audible enough for both to continue hearing them. By this point Eddie and Frank had both quietly stood, Eddie deciding to stand out of view from the door but somewhere he could listen to the footsteps and for whatever was going to happen.

Soon enough after the footsteps stopped, sounding like they were right in front of the door, someone slowly, seemingly hesitantly, knocked on the door.

Frank exhaled quietly and walked to the door, carefully unlocking and opening it, though not fully.

To his mild surprise, he saw a pair of those, as usual, very tired eyes staring up at him. Only, something was different. There was this dark red and close-to-black-but-not-actually-black colored liquid leaking from them, the color of tears of the puppets here—theoretically; Wally is the only one to have cried so far. He's usually crying alone, though, according to Frank's silent notations of Home, doing what he assumed to be, mumbling in Morse code. So, why was he here? Though, more importantly, why was he crying and, this time, actually finding someone for help? He hasn't done that before—at least with Frank. His notations of Home's mumbling seemed to indicate he never went to anyone when in a vulnerable state, not unless someone came to him, which no one apparently had yet.

Wally's pompadour wasn't there—his hair was down and a little messy. He was wearing his usual red bow-tie-scarf-neck-thing, but he had a thin, short sleeve, oversized white shirt on. He was wearing some rainbow shorts, similar to his usual pants but actually rainbow. His shoes were still the same as normal, though he did have some fluffy, knee-high socks on. They were light blue with colorful polkadots that reminded Frank of Barnaby's felt.

After mentally noting the messy appearance and the general vibe of I am going through a crisis right now, Frank instantly opened the door to let Wally in. Wally already knew Eddie and Frank were together anyway, so their secret wouldn't be at risk.
