Chapter Three

"Are you done yet?" Dick questioned as Wally applied more ketchup to his hair.

"Can you move your hands?"

"No."

"Then I'm not."

After 10 more minutes, Dick's hands had finally broke free of the 'shampoo' and Dick washed his hands to get rid of the ketchup, which was sickening him and that moment, same with Wally.

"So, I guess you're done with your shower huh?" Wally asked, his body leaning on the wall.

"Haha, yeah I guess so." Dick laughed as his eyes trailed the room.

"Well, you better go get in your pajamas." Said Wally. "I mean, you are wearing just a towel."

"Oh, right! I'll go change so we can watch the movie." Dick said, walking to the stairs.

"Meet me in the living room in 5," Wally called back.

Soon enough, Dick came back with blue boxers on and a Flash t-shirt. While Wally wore striped pajama pants and a shirt that said, 'Got any food?'

Dick placed the popcorn on the couch and joined Wally in the picking of the movie.

"Okay, which movie do you want to watch?" Wally held up a few movies in front of Dick. "We have Insidious, The Avengers, Scarecrow..." As Wally went on, Dick couldn't help but look at him, his freckles around his face and neck, basically his entire body. His beautiful green eyes, the red hair on his head. And his smile that showed his entire personality. How could you not love the guy?

But Wally didn't have a clue Dick was gay.

What if Wally was a homophobe? Or didn't support gay rights? The thought of these negative things rushing through his mind hurt him. He loved his best friend. But what if he didn't love him back? Let's not forget he has a girlfriend.

"So which one?" Wally finished, causing Dick to pay attention again.

"Uhh, that one." Dick announced and pointed to Insidious.

"Are you sure?" Wally asked. "I mean it's kinda scary and stuff."

"We don't have to watch it if you don't want too." said Dick simply.

Wally swallowed and looked at Dick with a brave face. "No, we can watch it. It's not that scary. I'm just worried if you'll get scared."

"Wally, I seen way more scary things then this movie."

"Touché."

Wally put the disc in the player and grabbed his popcorn. He pressed play on the remote and sat down on the couch with Dick, putting the popcorn bowl in between them.

The movie started and Dick was scared already, but he couldn't let Wally know, That he, Dick Grayson, was scared of a little horror movie.

Soon 30 minutes passed and the popcorn was all gone from its bowl and placed on the floor, but still the movie continued, as blood-curdling screams filled the room and jump scares came, Dick had to remain his cool.

"Dick? Are you okay?" Wally asked, looking down upon Dick, who was clutching onto his arm.

"What? Yeah." Dick's voice sort of cracked as he let go of Wally arm, but he had to admit, he felt more safer holding onto his arm.

An hour passed and the movie was finally over, Wally got up and turned on the lights to the room and took out the disc to put it back in his place. Dick however, stood there in fear; almost like he was unconscious.

"Dude, are you sure you're okay?" Wally asked, feeling worried for his best friend. But truth be told, Dick had seen more scarier things then this fake movie. Dick didn't respond and Wally went over to Dick and sat on the couch again, slight worried look on his face. "Look, you can admit the movie scared you. It was really scary, I felt myself jumping too. You don't have to hide anything from me, Dick." Wally said.
