A/N: Hi guys, I'm back...I know I said I wasn't going to do anymore fics but I'm struggling with writer's block on the current one I'm writing for wattpad and thought of this story. As soon as I came off Fanfiction I suddenly had so many ideas for Wally/Kuki stories. Anyway I wasn't happy with my last oneshot as a farewell story so think this may be a little better...Hopefully.
"Have you got all of your underwear packed? Enough warm clothes? Your toothbrush?" His blonde, bubbly mother fretted as she straightened his clothes and reorganised his hair.
"Mom." Wally groaned. "I'm all packed. I'm ready to go"
She sighed, a tear welling up in her eye. "I'm sorry my little marsupial. It's just so hard to see my first little boy going of to fight in the army!"
Wally rolled his eyes, he then smiled and pulled his mother into a hug. Most likely the first hug that he'd ever instigated. "I'll call you when I get there mom. Take care okay?"
He then turned to Sidney, his father and smiled. "I'll make you proud dad. I promise."
"I'm already proud son. Just stay safe out there okay?" Sidney smiled, patting his now nineteen year old son's back awkwardly.
There was a car horn heard from outside. Wally frowned. "Patton's here. I'd better go."
He quickly turned to his little brother and ruffled his hair. "You're the only one now pal. Make sure you cause as much havoc as I did."
"I will." Joey chuckled, welling up and pulling his brother into a tight hug. "I'll miss you Wally."
"You too squirt. I'm only a video call away right?" Wally spoke softly. Joey nodded and wiped his ruffled his hair once more and grabbed his bag. Scowling when he once again heard the car horn. "I've got to go. Bye."
He looked back at his nuclear family. Only now was he realising how much he loved them all. How much he'd miss everything about them, his mom nagging at him to hurry up in the morning, his father mindlessly talking about crud that nobody cared about, his little brother rummaging through his room just to annoy him. He smiled at them once more and raised his hand in a small wave leaving the house and closing the door behind him. He nodded at Patton in acknowledgement as he walked up to the pick up truck.
"Numbuh 4!" A voice called, making him stop in his tracks and turn to his left. He smiled when he saw his four friends running down the road. The threw his bag into the back of the car and walked a few paces to meet them. Hoagie was the first to reach them, since developing an athletic flare in school he was now one of the top athletes in school, developing himself a lanky and slender figure. He panted as he stopped a few steps from Wally. "We came as soon as we could, we were called on an early morning urgent mission."
Wally smiled. He pulled Hoagie into a man hug, gripping his arm and pulling him so that they bumped chests. "I'm glad you got here. I have to go real soon."
Abby flung her arms around his neck and held him tight. "You be careful out there okay. Don't make stupid choices."
"Me? stupid choices?" Wally chuckled. "Bye Abby."
Nigel was trying not to well up. Wally approached him and they shared an awkward hug. "Thanks for everything mate."
"Wally, we've got an hour to get there." Patton called irritably.
"Don't be a stranger okay Numbuh 4. Good luck." Nigel smiled, sensing Patton's frustration. He then looked over at Kuki and cleared his throat. "Guys, why don't we start a slow walk back and Numbuh 3 can catch us up?"
they all nodded and quickly said goodbye to Wally as they started to walk. Wally waved them off and then scuffed his foot on the floor. Sighing to himself before looking up and meeting her eyes. He could do this. He'd lay awake all night planning how he could finally muster up his courage and tell Kuki that he loved her. It was now or never.
"So." She beamed, her chirpy voice still as bright and tuneful as it was when they were only ten years old. "Promise you'll write to me? or email? or text? or call?..."
Patton groaned loudly and spun around in a temper "2 minutes Wally! I'm not being late to induction because of you!"
"I'm coming!" Wally snarled. His face softened as he turned back to Kuki. He gave a weak smile and nodded. "….Here. Remember this?"
He dug into the pocket of his hoodie and pulled out a chain necklace. Kuki gasped. "Your grandpa bought you that for your 15th birthday. Just before he died."
Wally nodded, he fiddled with the clasp and reminisced. "I was so heartbroken the day he died that I threw it in the trash. You were so angry with me, you went into the dumpster and fished it out. Told me that it was the last thing I had of him so should cherish it...It's been the one thing I can't go anywhere without since. I never thanked you for it."
"You didn't have to thank me silly." Kuki giggled. She then gasped when the chain was held across her neck and fastened up behind her. She ran her fingers over the chain and shook her head at him. "You can't give this away. You've just said, you can't go anywhere without it."
"Keep hold of it for me." Wally responded quietly. Urging to reach out and cup her face like he'd seen so many heroes do in the cruddy, slushy movies that she'd made him watch. But he wasn't brave enough. Instead he shoved his hands into the pocket of his hoodie.
Kuki's lip trembled and she threw herself at him. Wrapping her arms around his neck tightly. She began to sob into his neck. "Please be safe."
"Hey." Wally consoled quietly. Surprising her by pulling his hands from his pockets and returning the hug firmly. "I'll be okay. I'll be back before you know it."
"10 seconds!" Patton exclaimed.
Kuki looked up at him, the tears in her eyes gathering in the corners and making the violet orbs shine at him. "Promise?"
"Promise." He whispered. Now was his time "Kuki I….I…" He angled his head so that his lips were aligned with hers and slowly leant down.
BEEP
The engine of the pick up truck rushed into gear. Patton revved the engine loudly to give Wally the message that he was leaving, with or without him.
"I'm coming!" Wally screeched. Throwing himself out of Kuki's hold and storming over to the passenger's side of the car, ensuring to give a thump on the door as he walked over and ignoring Patton's verbal abuse. He looked up at Kuki as he placed his hand on the door handle. She'd never looked more vulnerable. Stood on the sidewalk, hugging herself tightly, her lips clenching and unclenching as she tried not to cry, her eyes sparkling with unrun tears. Wally sighed and spoke softly. "Bye."
He slumped into the car and ran a hand through his hair. That was it. His chance was gone.
