For a long time, I just held Wally, letting his salty tears stain my shirt. Eventually, his death-grip on my shirt began to loosen and his sobs slowly died down into soft whimpers, I noticed he was shivering and I gently layed him back down on the bed, tucking the blanket around him, gently brushing my hand through his sweaty bangs.

"Shhh, sleep Wally. Everything's okay. Just sleep." I whispered. Wally nodded, still shivering. I began to walk to the cabniet a couple feet away, intending to get Wally another blanket, but a hand shot out and grabbed my wrist. Startled, I looked back over to Wally, whose vibrant green eyes were wide open and panicked-looking.

"Don't leave. P-please don't leave." He begged softly. The unspoken question was written on his expression, and as best friends-almost-brothers we had gotten pretty good and reading each other's feelings.

I'm scared, don't leave me alone.

"I wasn't going to."

Never Wally.

"I'm scared."

Can you sleep with me... keep me safe?

"Scoot over silly."

Course Wally, I love you.

I wrapped the blanket around us both, smiling as Wally cuddled into my chest, sighing softly. I began to sing him a lullaby.

Culca-te, puiut micut,Culca-te si te abua.

Pâna mâine-n dalba ziua.

Si te culca si adormi

Pâna mâine-n dalbe zori.Doina din ce s-o facut ?Dintr-o gura de mic prunc.

L-o lasat maica dormind,L-o aflat doina zicând

Abua – bua – bua,

Abua, tucu-l maica,Nu te teme tu de zmei,I-a goni maica pe ei.

Puisor cu ochi de mure,Maica-i dusa la padure,Ti-a aduce gatejoare

Si ti-a face scovergioare.

I looked down to see Wally fast asleep in my arms, I smiled. A small sound to my right alerted me that the door had opened. I whipped my head around, seeing Black Canary walk into the room. She frowned upon seeing us.

"Are you sure you're not taking things too fast Robin?" She whispered.

I sent her a glare that would of made Batman proud if he had seen it.

(Little did I know, he was watching the security footage from the batcave and was grinning like the Joker.)

BC sighed softly, and left the room. Satisfied that no one would bother Wally for the night, I let my eyes, which had suddenly became heavy, drift closed.
