Thirty Days (A Birdflash Fanfiction)

Day 3: Gaming/Watching a Movie

Wally watched his character die for the tenth time at Dick's hands. "You're cheating. You have to be."

Dick threw his head back in laughter. The instant he respawned, Wally seized his chance to kill Dick's character, but Dick snapped to attention just in time to defend himself and smack Wally's character down with a headshot.

"Son of a—"

"How about I just camp the respawn site and save us some time?" Dick cackled.

"Don't you dare."

"Take back what you said about cheating and I'll think about it."

"Okay, I'm sorry I accused you of cheating. Now get away from me."

"But did you really mean it?" Dick said solemnly, shooting Wally's character the instant he respawned. "Have you changed your mind about whether or not you believe I'm cheating, or do you just want me to stop camping your respawn site? Have you searched your soul for forgiveness? Do you accept me as your Lord and—"

"Oh my God."

"So you do?"

"Jesus Christ, Dick."

"One name will do." Dick killed Wally's character again.

"Aw, screw this. I'm out." Wally quit the game. Dick laughed at his frown.

"Have I told you you're my best friend lately?" he said sweetly.

"I'm only your best friend because nobody else will play video games with you," Wally grumbled, though the effect was ruined by the fact he was trying and failing to hide a smile.

Dick tossed his controller aside, rolled across the floor to where Wally sat, and kissed him on the cheek. "And I'm very thankful."

"Oh? How thankful?"

"Thankful enough that I might not try to kill you more than... let's say three times... if we play Portal 2 co-op."

"As long as you let me press the buttons while you have to go through the risky parts at my mercy, I'm game." Wally bundled up his courage and reciprocated the kiss with one on Dick's cheek. He didn't miss how Dick's face turned pink in response.
