The bedsheets rustled as he turned to face you. "[y/n]...?" he muttered, voice laced with sleepiness.
You hesitated. "Can I, uh, join you?"
"Nightmares, huh?"
You only nodded.
He shifted to make space and pulled the covers off, silently inviting you to join him. You climbed onto his bed wordlessly, hugging the stuffed animal Wally had gifted you last Christmas. He allowed you to crawl into his arms and he held you firmly, letting you know you were not alone.
"You're never alone,"he mumbled into your ear.
You hummed in response, playing with the hem of his shirt.
"Come on, list the things that make you feel calm. That makes you feel...peaceful, grounded. Name what makes you feel okay, even if just for a brief moment." He stared into the ceiling and he spoke softly, as though afraid that loud sounds will startle you.
It was quiet for a few moments before you spoke.
"Music... like, classical music — helps clear the mind and calms the nerves."
Wally hummed in response.
"You know, maybe I'll pick up piano or violin again. Just for you."
You smiled.
"Dancing. It's a great way to express all the bottled up feelings — to communicate what I can't with words."
Wally subconsciously began playing with your hair.
"I guess... being with someone. Makes me feel less alone."
The underlying message: being with you.
"Being on this team has really helped me in so many ways. A year ago I was lost. Had no purpose in life. But now, I have six amazing friends and so many mentors who also doubles as a great support network... A year ago I had no family. Now I have more than I could have ever hoped for," you breathed.
"I'm glad you joined us. You might not know it but you manage to brighten up all of our days. Especially mine."
You barely caught his last words. It made you blush.
"You."
"What?"
"You make me feel calm, peaceful, grounded. You make me feel okay." You stopped, frowning. "No, you... make me feel truly happy. Whenever I'm down you're always there to catch me. And you never once judged me even when I..." You huffed and continued on. "You always had faith in me and I've never had that before. You showed me how to have fun, and how to be myself. You taught me what life is truly about..."
Wally was silent, taking this all in. "I'm glad I could do that for you. And I would do it all over again."
"I think I've found my purpose in life," you admitted.
"Really?" Wally's arm tightened around you.
"It's you, Wally. I live for you."
"[Y/N], I—"
"What are we Wally?" you cut him off.
The question threw him off guard. "I—I don't know. Do you want us to be something?" he asked.
"All I know is I have feelings for you Wally. Really strong, intense feelings. I don't want this feeling to die." You shifted and stared into the darkness of the room. "I think I'm in love with you, Wally West."
He was stunned. His heart skipped a beat. His face broke out into a wide grin.
"Will you be my girlfriend, [y/n]?"
"No shit," you giggled and laid your head in the crook of his neck.
He pulled you even closer and placed a kiss on your forehead, laying his chin on top of your head.
"Believe me when I say I love you too."
