a/n: First time in fandom, pretty cool, yeah, later. 100 words each.

He considered buying flowers for about, oh, three seconds. Really. Wally wasn't the sap who bent down on one knee declaring his love(that wasn't there, thanks everyone) in a park somewhere.

Wally was picturing Nigel and boy, he'd have paid money to see that-

Anyway, he wasn't into flowers. But Kuki was all about this romantic gestures in a relationship. Not that he wanted to be in a relationship with her. He'd get all girly(like Nigel) or weird(like Hoagie) and then everything would just be stupid. Really.

But for some reason he was in a flower shop later that day.

She'd been outside all day, hands numbed white, cheeks bright red, and nose pink. "It's so pretty out there!" Kuki exclaimed, arms flailing about. Beneath her layers Wally guessed she was smiling.

"It's cruddy cold, that's what," he made sure to say. Normally he'd be out there still but five hours was enough.

Kuki hopped up on the counter, rubbing her hands. "I made a nice snowman."

"You name him something dorky?" Wally jibbed, getting water out of the microwave. He ripped open a packet and dumped it in.

"For me?" Kuki grinned.

"Uh," he said, pausing. "Yeah. For you."

"A butterfly?"

"I know, right? I thought it would be silly to go as the same costume, but I changed the wings so I'm a bigger butterfly. And that's different," Kuki explained. She smiled over her shoulder at him, slipping on the giant wings.

Wally swallowed. "Sure."

"Who are you going as?" She was oblivious, as usual, to how stunning she was in that. Hair braided up with stunning eyes-

"Not going."

"My prince?"

"Caterpillar again?"

Kuki laughed. "I'm older than that, silly. A monarch butterfly."

Yes, he did complain, but she kissed 'her prince' later and he was fine.

Wally didn't claim himself to be jealous right now. Or the degree of upset Numbuh Two claimed him to be. There was no reason to be upset.

They weren't dating,

(and never were at this rate)

he didn't love her like Sandy did,

(but he could someday)

wasn't one for fancy dates,

(he'd gladly take her on one if she really wanted)

he ripped on her Rainbow Dorkies,

(except that orange one was tolerable)

he didn't think them getting married,

(but Sandy just wanted a queen anyway)

and most importantly, it would be awkward.

(They could work through it. Right?)

"Dude," Hoagie said, pausing from his donut. "You asked me for donuts and don't eat any. What up?"

Wally stopped pacing the room in front of their bench. "Yeah. This place is nice."

This place was rundown, Hoagie knew that clearly. He looked around and sighed. "Very nice. Why are we here, really?"

"Well," Wally bit his lip, pacing again. "There's something I want to do. I can't though- I need to- no, that's stupid. Can't."

"No idea is stupid," Hoagie declared. "What?"

"Crash Kuki's date." Wally looked guilty.

He blinked a few disbelieving times. "Not one of your brightest."

"We're officially dating!" Kuki said. She leaned into the punch as her fist connected with the bag. "He's my boyfriend."

Wally laughed along. "So soon he'll be tying you to a pole again, asking for your hand in marriage."

"Hmm." She stopped punching, thinking. "I would like to- but not to him. Not yet."

He swapped places with her, pounding into the bag with more force than needed. "Good luck telling him that tied up to a pole. Rainbow Dorkies, remember?"

"Monkeys," Kuki weakly corrected. "But you'll come save us again!"

"Sure," Wally agreed, slamming into the bag. "As always."
