The Moment Before Awaking
Wally
Wally blinked as he saw a body beside him in bed. It wasn't Artemis body. Not a blond hair, and definitely not a woman's body. It was a plain chest, with raven hair and amazing blue eyes (even though these were closed, Wally knew them enough to know their colors). His very best friend was sleeping beside him. Startled, he fell off his bed. A laugh took the room. But wasn't Dick's laugh, was Artemis.
"Baywatch! Found any monster under the bed?" she asked. He gave a nervous laugh.
That didn't seem like a dream. It was way too real to be a dream. But apparently he knew nothing about dreams. He kept the thing to himself as some weird thing and spent his day normally. It was a little embarrassing talk with Dick that day. It wasn't like he would say 'hey, dude! I dreamed I woke up in bed with you' and somehow the secrecy was weird.
But in the next day, happened again. It was worse. They were spooning in bed, Wally woke up with his face buried in his hair. He noticed now it was way longer than normal, almost on his chin, but well cut. His tan skin was contrasting with the white sheets and Wally's pale arm. He was soft and warm in his arms and his scent was weirdly good. He never had realized how good was his smell.
"Morning, sunshine" Dick whispered, his eyes still closed.
Wally sat on the bed and everything was gone, again. He was awake. He was awake and somewhere else. Artemis was fast asleep by his side, and he couldn't find anything indicating he moved from his bed. So, how was he sleeping with Dick? The man was nowhere near. Not even Wallace could disappear that fast.
"Still too early, Baywatch. Go back to bed" she mumbled in a cute drowsy voice. Somehow her sleepy voice didn't send the same thrill down his spine as Dick's sent.
He threw himself down, falling on his back. What was happening?
As everyone says, the third is a charm. The third day, in a row, Wally was awoken by a weight in his lap. Something wet was in his neck, moving to his lips. He widened his eyes as soon as he felt something grinding on his groin, and met a beautiful pair of blue eyes looking back.
"Morning, sunshine" he said in a very seductive tone. "Let's get rid of this morning wood in the fun way?" he smiled sultry and kissed him.
Wally was paralyzed. Part of him was screaming for this to stop because it was too nonsense, he had a fiance. But another part was whispering in this abnormally alluring tone, that was way too equal to Dick's, 'it's a dream. Enjoy it!'. Closing his eyes and sinking into that pleasure, he kissed him back. Hands flying to his hips, accelerating those motions. It didn't take long for Dick to start to moan, and was the most sexy sound he ever heard. He came, shutting his eyes, biting his lower lip to not scream. As soon as he opened his eyes, starting to normalize his breathing, he was back in bed with Artemis. He felt guilty as he felt his underwear wet.
Meet Dick that day was even worse. He couldn't avoid to stare at him. The man was suspicious. When he was in his uniform, too tight uniform, Wally couldn't avert his eyes from his crotch.
"Wally, we are way too far from the age to be comparing sizes. And if we did that, I'm bigger than you" he smiled. The redhead blushed so badly his hair seemed pale in comparison.
After their mission, he went home to sleep. Didn't get much of sleep when he opened his eyes, feeling way too good. He tried to raise his head when saw Dick half dressed in his Nightwing suit. He barely noticed the design was a little off. The man put him whole inside his mouth and his mind was blank.
"I'm sorry, I need now!" he said, his eyes were black with desire and his voice was dripping lust. "Poison Ivy" sucked him. "No mask" again. "Something in the air" again. "Stay down, I'll do all the hard work" and took off all of his suit before resuming the blowjob.
Wally couldn't find strength to reply to anything. He just rested his head in the pillow and enjoyed. It was way too good. He never felt that good before. At least, not until Dick stopped blowing him and sat on him. Nightwing gave out a husky cry of pleasure. Moving his body wildly. Now Wally could be sure he never EVER had felt such pleasure in his whole life. The way he moved his hips just made him throb more and more inside of him. He arched his back, trying to move his hips as well, to add some speed on that. But Dick held his body down with a hand.
"I'll do this. This time is on me" smiled, kissing him deeply. Wally thought this could also be torture, because he only came when Dick said he could, and Dick certainly took his time.
"Are you fine, Baywatch?" Wally was sitting, gasping. He had raised his body when he came.
"Yeah, it's just… some… thing… of the speed… nothing to worry..." he threw his body back, trying to calm his heart, the pleasure still lingering, so badly he was vibrating. His pants were wet and glued in his body, and he frankly was doubting he could get any sleep.
In the end, he did. He slept after a mildly cold shower. He opened his eyes to a Dick Grayson smiling and caressing his hair. He said his usual 'morning, sunshine'. But he clearly had no intention to move.
"I want to stay in bed with you the whole day" purred to him.
"I have to work" Wally said something for the first time.
"Me too, love. But I don't want to go" his smile broadened. "Last night still paying its price" he whispered. "I'm all sore" buried his face on Wally's chest.
"Sorry?"
"You should know by now it's the good sore! The one that makes me sigh" and chuckled.
"Yeah, I should" answered, amazed by that sound. "You look pretty with your hair longer" caressed his raven locks.
"Good, I'm growing it because someone I won't say who" pointed to him with his lower lip. "Said he liked long hair better."
Wally laughed, leaning and kissing him. He widened his eyes in surprise, it was the first time he did something, usually he only replied. Must have been the whole sweet morning mood, but he loved that thing. Closing his eyes, deepened the kiss. When opened his eyes again he was alone in the bed, his warm still on his hands and lips. He had passed his time to go to work. He would be late.
Dick was waiting for him at the door. Almost fell, his face red and his eyes tearing with embarrassment. Dick rose an eyebrow.
"What's the matter, dude? These days you've been weird around me" threw him the key of the car and sat in the passenger seat.
"It's nothing. It's.. ahn… nothing, okay? Can we drop the subject?" replied nervously.
"If you say it's nothing it is nothing" smiled. "Now drop me at the police station and go to work, we are late. I should have gone with Arty when she passed through me" commented.
He gulped as he agreed with him. Fuck, seeing him in his blue uniform was maddening. Now that he had all those sexual thoughts involving his best friend.
"So, we'll sleep together this night or what?" he asked sipping his coffee. Wally almost hit the car in front of them.
"What?"
"Aren't Artemis throwing that Only Girls' Party tonight? You were supposed to sleep at my place, remember?"
"Yeah, yeah" said way too quick. "It's just… you made sound like a sex invitation. And that caught me off guard" tried to sound casual. How did he sound casually?
"Dude, we always sound like we're talking about having sex with each other. It's our thing, to keep the bromance in vogue!" giggled. "Are you sure you're okay? We can call a sick day if you are feeling bad" smiled sweetly to him, touching his forehead, too much like other Dick.
"I'm fine!" slapped his hand. "Don't distract me while I'm driving" excused himself.
"Fine, Mr. I'mFine. But if you drop sick in your work, don't call me" crossed his hand on his chest, pouting.
They spent the rest of the way in silence. Dick finished his coffee. Wally was dying to tell him about those dreams, but there was no way he could say those things with a straight face. He pulled over and stopped the car.
"Here, your stop, princess" joked, a little more composed now.
"Yeah, yeah. Have a good morning, sunshine" Dick said and playfully kissed his cheek loudly.
And like that it was awkward again.
That night they weren't going to patrol. Realizing how weird Wally was with the idea of being alone the whole night with his best friend, said dude called all the boys to sleepover. Suddenly it was a mixed party. They crashed the next door party with Dick using an underpants on his head. Artemis threw a pillow at him and everyone were transiting through both apartments. Wally was quietly sitting on Dick's couch, observing his best friend with adore. He sure knew how to lift his spirit.
"Dude, come on! Don't be sitting all the time! Come have some fun!" a huge body landed next to him on the couch.
"I'm fine here, Dick" smiled to him.
"Wally, I won't force you to tell me nothing. But just know I'm here in case you having any trouble, okay? I love you" and kissed his cheek, sweetly this time. Wally caressed his hair.
"I know, D. It's just… a little embarrassing to talk about this. It's not a real problem" confessed.
"Whatever it is, I'm here! Except now. Now I will be over your place throwing water balloons over your fiance and your fiance's girl friends" messed his hair and left screaming 'it's war'.
Wally ended up falling asleep on Dick's couch.
When he woke up, he was in bed, not his bed, or Dick's bed. It was that weird dream's bed. He turned and saw Dick in his end of the bed, curled in a fetal position. Crying. Wally was afraid to move and wake up. So laying on his sides, he pulled him closer. He had no idea why was he crying. He only wanted to make him happy again.
"Hey, I'm here" said sweetly.
"I know! I know!" he hugged him. Burying his face on his chest.
They stayed there for as long as Wally could handle, silently, but for Dick's sobs. But eventually that dream faded into reality. To his surprise, Dick was in his arms. He took the short hair off his face. He was as pretty as the long haired one. And his heart clenched. Did he just think that?
"Hey, Wally" he whispered drowsily, Wally felt a part of him twitching with that sound.
"H-Hey."
"You were sleeping, so I brought you to the bed. But I fell sleep" he rubbed his face on his chest. "You are the best pillow I ever found!" his voice was muffled by Wally's chest. "Never leave me, Wall!" he sniffed, only then Wally realized this brunette was crying too. "Please, don't leave me again!"
Wally kissed the top of his head.
"I'm here, okay? I won't be going anywhere" he raised his body to be sure this was real. Dick was still there.
"You've been weird. I'm worried. And kinda drunk. But mainly worried!" whispered in a guilty tone.
"I can see that" smiled to him. "I'm still your partner, your bro, your bff and I'm still here and won't be going anywhere. Now go back to sleep because you're not kinda drunk, you are completely drunk" touched his face tenderly. His thoughts taking a very dangerous lane.
For the whole week other Dick was tearful. It wasn't always he cried, sometimes he was just sad. They just held each other while he was like that. No sexual thoughts about it. Only support. At no moment Dick told him what happened. This morning was the same. A sniffing head was in his chest, ebony hair spreading all over it. He whispered to him 'I love you'. Dick lifted his head and smiled with his red nose. So darn cute.
"Morning, sunshine" with a nasal voice. Even cuter.
He sat, the weight on his chest vanishing during his movement, the whole room around changing. He shook the woman beside him.
"What the hell, Baywatch? What time is it?" she complained.
"We need to talk" he said quietly.
It was ugly. In the end, she walked away, shutting doors and shouting. She crossed with Dick at the end of the hall and huffed in anger.
"I kind of heard you were fighting. Wanna grab some lunch?" he opened the door, entering cautiously.
"Sit, we have to talk too" Wally was buried in his armchair near the tv. He had a dark semblance.
"Will I leave like that?" pointed to the hallway.
"I hope not."
It was hard to tell him everything he had dreamed during the last month. And how those didn't seem like dreams at all. How they happened only in the moment before he could awake, like a sleep paralysis, without the paralysis part. How his feelings were changing. By the end of that talk Dick was being the brooding one.
"I don't know if I wanted to hear this" said at last.
"Sorry, I thought I should tell" confessed.
"Do you have any idea how it is for me? DO YOU?" stood up, pointing to him. "I'm in love with you since I can remember! And are you telling me you fell in love with some alternative version of me?" fell back on the couch. "No! You have no idea!"
"Dick, don't cry. I saw you crying too much this week..."
"I'M NOT CRYING AND YOU DIDN'T SEE ME CRYING ANY DAY OF THIS WEEK. IT WASN'T ME! I'm just furious, Wally!" he exhaled the air from his lungs loudly. "It's so unfair! After all I did, after all I endured, you fell in love with a dream! FUCK! You broke up with Artemis because of a dream!"
"It's not the dream!" he whispered. "I… There is a reason for me to dream about a happy life with you. Every single day. I dreamed about waking up to you in my bed."
"But that's not me! I didn't ever say 'morning, sunshine' to you!"
"You do" giggled. "Not every morning like in my dreams, but just the other day, I dropped you at your work and you said 'have a good morning, sunshine'. It was after dream number five."
"Did you count the dreams?"
"We had amazing sex in number four and a sweet talk in five, the next morning, so yes, I remember those!" he was defensive.
"Sex? Oh god! IT WAS A FUCKING DREAM WALLY!" Dick was pacing through his living room. But unlikely Artemis when he got to that part, he wasn't leaving.
"Yeah, and still the most awesome sex I had in my whole life" he nearly was hit by the pillow.
"Dream! Wallace! DREAM!" he threw himself back at the couch. "Did you say that to Arty? The last part?"
"That I had sex with you in my dream? Yes. That it was the best sex of my life? I'm not crazy, dude. And I wouldn't be alive if I had told her."
"And you tell me? You know I'm not flattered by this silly version of me in your dreams! It's a make up thing, it's not me, doesn't even sound like me at all!"
"It does, if you imagine we are happily married. It fits your Modus Operandus. You are silly and adorable when pretending to be my lover. We do that a lot..."
"I'm so angry right now!" hid his face in his hands. "Why would you fall in love with a dream me? Why not me?"
"Are you even trying to listen to me? I'm in love with you. I had those dreams because of that. Can you imagine how absurd is to think it's the other way around? That I fall in love because of those dreams?" Dick was silent. Wally walked to him, kneeling before him. "Listen to me. The day I woke up to you sniffing on my chest was the first day of the dreams with you crying. You cried every day after that until I said 'I love you'. When I finally understood that, yes, I meant that!" pulled his hands away. "I couldn't wait a second after that. I told Artemis everything, because I could never cheat on her. And to be honest, we've been drifting apart since I came back to the yellow and red suit. I doubt I can tell you when I last had sex with her. We hadn't had a whole conversation in months. I drive you to work, not her! It's more obvious as we go with this! I see you more than my fiance, and she sees Kaldur more than me. We just felt too comfortable in this relationship to realize that what we want is not being together anymore. At least, not like a man and a woman. I hope she forgives me enough to be my friend. I love her!"
"I hope she forgives me, and I'm not even guilty on this" complained, their eyes were locked together. Wally caressed his hair. "You're taking this whole break up too lightly. After all, it was a very long relationship."
"I'm a man in a mission. After you agree to be with me for our whole lives, I'll deal with the break up. And I'll have you to help me with that" touched their foreheads. Dick seemed calmer now.
"How can you be sure we will last forever? You and Arty thought that too" Wally smiled.
"No, we started everything planning to enjoy while it last. This. I'm willing to be the last relationship I'll ever have. And besides. No matter how far we were from each other, we always got back together" he heard a small tearful chuckle and closed their distance, kissing him.
Next day he woke with long haired Dick in his arms again. He was sleeping. Wally caressed his hair. Kissed the top of his head, stroking his face, gently waking him up.
"Good morning, sweetheart" whispered.
"Morning, sunshine" he drowsily beamed at him, a yawn following. Dick sat, a leg on each of Wally's sides. He threw his hair back in a sexy way, flexing more muscles than the movement required. "Wanna make the last time worth it?"
