More Than Just A Prince

Deadlines

The last week of Wally's stay was finally there, but Dick and Wally hadn't even noticed.

"Princes and Princesses," Alfred said loudly as he entered the living room where everyone was, "The Kings are requesting your presence."

As they all approached the door Alfred led them to they heard yelling from inside.

"We had a deal!"

"I know we had a deal!"

Jason was the one to open the door and everyone followed him inside. The Kings stopped arguing immediately.

"We need to have a discussion," Bruce started. Barry beckoned Wally to come stand beside him while Bruce beckoned Stephanie to stand beside him.

"You two will be married at the end of the week," Barry announced.

Immediately Wally protested but was silenced.

Stephanie just looked up at Bruce hurt.

"You can't!" Tim exclaimed loudly. Drawing everyone's attention to him. He swallowed then said, "I love Steph. We're dating. She can't marry."

Bruce's eyes widened. If it weren't for the situation with the other king he would have been so happy for Tim to officially join the family.

Barry interrupted the shocked silence and demanded, "This is supposed to unite our kingdoms. My son will marry into your family. You have a week to decide who it will be," Barry gestured to Stephanie and Cassandra.

When King Barry stormed out as did King Bruce. Followed by everyone but Dick and Wally.

"Dick," Wally said weekly, not making eye contact, "I-I...I feel like I can't breathe." He dropped to his knees, panic rising in his chest as he heaved for air that his lungs just wouldn't accept.

Dick quickly rushed over and sunk to his knees as well, "Hey hey, you're having a panic attack. It will pass. Can I touch you?"

Wally nodded and he grasped Dick's hand.

"It will be better if you can catch a breath baby," Dick said calmly as he pulled Wally close and softly ran his free hand through Wally's hair.

Wally continued to panic as Dick whispered kind things to him to try and calm him down. By the time he had calmed enough to breath properly there was tears running down his face. Dick let Wally burry his head in his neck and hugged him tightly as Wally's tears soaked his shirt.

"I don't know what to do," Wally said between heavy breaths.

Dick knew he had nothing to say that could fix this and just whispered, "We'll figure it out, I promise. Now can you stand so I can bring you to bed?"

Wally nodded and stood shakily, heart still pounding for all the wrong reasons. Dick kept his arm snaked around Wally's waist and led him upstairs to Dick's room, successfully avoiding all people.
