How Do I Know to Love You?

He Needs a Local...

Bruce and Dick stood in the younger man's living room. Dick had called off the rest of the day at the station and they had made their way to a place where they could talk privately. 

"How did he come back?" Bruce had been pacing and muttering; in full Batman mode. He was trying to solve the issue with what little he had. 

Dick shrugged. "Honestly, I have been asking myself the same thing for a while." A ping chirped through the room and Dick made his way to the kitchen island where his phone laid. 

HAHA! Yeah it's been odd living in a new place. Wish I had some local to show me around. 

The text read like Wally talked. A local? Dick knew a local. He smirked at the screen. 

You happen to be in luck, my man. I know this city better than any local who's been here for ages. -Delivered. 

Read. 

The thumping in his chest intensified. His smile grew as he awaited for the Ginger's response. Dick might just have a chance at meeting with his best friend; his love. If Wally agreed, the two could connect again, Dick could find out what happened...and maybe even get Wally to feel the same  way Dick does about him.

"What are you smiling at?" Bruce came out from his deep thoughts and had placed himself so he was practically leaning over his son's shoulder; curious. 

"Ah! Nothing." Dick tried to shove his phone in his front pocket, but it was too small of a pocket and the device fell to the hardwood floor. There was silence and Dick felt embarrassed, it was obvious that Bruce knew everything.  Dick's cheeks grew red at the thought. Suddenly, a loud burst of laughter came from the man behind him. 

"Wally really has you wrapped around his finger, even when he doesn't know you." Dick twisted to face Bruce, straining his neck at the rapid pace. 

"W-what do you mean?" Dick's voice rose in pitch. 

"Dickie-bird, I think I knew you were gay before you did" Bruce chuckled." Same goes for your feelings for the loud mouth that was  Kid Flash." Dick's mouth was open in shock. Bruce knew? He fucking knew how Dick felt about guys and...and about Wally? 

"Why-why didn't you ever say anything?" 

"I didn't want to ruin the 'coming-out' moment for you." They took a moment to let it sit. They laughed. This was amazing to Dick. He had never felt so close to Bruce until now, until he left to be on his own. He did the right thing taking his life into his own hands. It made them both grow. 

"So, what should we do about Wally?" Bruce broke the moment. 

"We? Nononono." Dick shook his head. "You promised you would stay out of it." 

The older man brought up his hand to stop Dick. "I promised to not tell anyone, not st-" 

"Well I'm asking you to." He gave his father a look when the man went to argue. 

Bruce sighed. " Fine. Don't get into a big mess." 

Dick wrapped him in an embrace and patted his back. "I will come to you if I need any help, Bruce." The man lolled his head and rubbed his eyes. "I always will." 

"Yeah, yeah." Bruce waved him off playfully. "Go tend to your boyfriend, he's blowing up your phone. Must be worried." 

Dick all but lunged to grab his phone from the floor after he said goodbye to Bruce.

Yeah? I don't know if I believe you, mister. 

Why don't we grab some coffee and you can prove to me that you know Bludhaven better than anyone.

Dick?  

Hey! Sorry, had to talk with my dad, he came to town spontaneously. I would be honored to give you a tour of MY city. -Delivered. Read.

Also, you're speaking my language. An officer's kryptonite is coffee... and donuts.-Delivered . Read. 

Oh, You're an officer of the law? Well. I'd better  treat you to the best donuts I have found here. Meet at SAMMY's Donut Emporium at three tomorrow? 

Always thinking about food, that was Wally's talent. Food and the best place to get it. Dick couldn't get rid of his smile, until he remembered the problems with the current Wally. Dick could be happy and gushy all he wanted, but Wally West was not the same and Dick needed to find out anything he could, as the man's best friend, as Nightwing, as Robin and as the only person who loved Wally more than anyone else in the world. 

Yeah, sounds great!-Delivered.
