Chapter two: Confrontations

After having to run extra laps after practice thanks to his not so secret 'admirer' he was exhausted, but Wally digressed he really didn't want to think about it. He had finally made it home, it was already late. Just to be sure Wally checked the time on his phone, it read 5:48 PM in bold font.

'Fuck'

Wally already knew he was going to be in a shit load of trouble for coming home so late and not calling to tell his aunt and uncle to warn them, so they wouldn't worry. Before he could even stick his key in the door it swung open, revealing a very pissed off Aunt Iris and an equally pissed off Uncle Barry. Wally gulped, he's in deeper shit than he thought.

"Living room now, Wallace!" Aunt Iris ordered pointing in the direction of the living.

Wally said nothing and obediently walked inside the house and to the living room, gaze never meet her eyes. His aunt and uncle followed him in.

"Sit." the red headed woman demanded.

"Yes ma'am." Wally said taking a seat on the couch.

His aunt had her hands on her hips in a gesture of her frustration. "Wally where were you yesterday?"

And oh shit, Wally completely forgot to call and tell them he was out, plus he didn't come home! He was so grounded after this talk.

"A-a friend's house." Wally stammered looking away from his aunt's intense gaze.

"And you couldn't think to call and tell us where you were or that you weren't coming home!"

'Woah... that was scary, Uncle Barry has never yelled at me before. Not even when I blew up the microwave on accident'

The red headed boy hung his head in shame "Sorry..." he mumbled in that unrecognizably broken voice he's been hearing lately.

"Sorry isn't going to fix it this time Wally, we didn't know where you were, we thought you had gotten hurt." Aunt Iris said with a pained look.

"I-I sorry, I forgot to call and lost track of time." Wally mumbled.

"That's just it Wally! You never answer our calls, you're almost never home anymore, gone all hours of the night and sometimes you won't come home days at a time! What's wrong with you Wally?" his uncle said staring down at him.

Wally couldn't find it in himself to meet his uncle's gaze, so he looked away now staring down at his red converse "Nothing." was the only thing he could manage to say.

"That's another thing, you don't even say more than two words to us anymore... you've also been so sad and withdrawn for the past few months. Is there something going on? You can talk to us Wally." Aunt Iris said pleadingly.

'Yes, everything is wrong'

"No, nothing's wrong." Wally said in a cold tone of voice.

"Please Wally, talk to us. I'm concerned... we're concerned." his uncle said a pleading look in his blue eyes and a deep concern in his sad voice.

That's when Dick's words started to echo in his head 'Wally I'm concerned, we're all concerned...'

Wally really felt like the scum of the earth right now, lower than that even. His aunt and uncle were wonderful people they didn't deserve to be so stressed over Wally's own stupidity. Oh god, he felt like shit, he felt the sour sting of bile rising to the back of his throat, suddenly nauseous. Wally figured it was from knowing it was his fault everything in his life was crumbling around him.

"I-I..." Wally couldn't even start a sentence because all he could feel was the sadness creeping up from the back of his mind making his heart ache.

'Wally I'm concerned, we're all concerned...'

Wally could feel the familiar prickle of tears begging to trickle over like small waterfalls down his cheeks. Because how do you tell your family you're gay and have realized this fact for an entire year and that you're in a secret abusive relationship with an older guy. He couldn't do this... it was all too much to think about right now... too much.

"I have to leave." Wally said struggling to keep his voice even.

He was abruptly stopped by his uncle's large hand on his shoulder gently pushing him back down onto the couch. "No Wally, we're going to talk about this."

Aunt Iris sat down next to him, putting a comforting hand on his knee. "It's ok Wally, we won't think any differently of you." she said reassuringly

'Yes you will' Wally couldn't help but think 'You'll be disgusted'

Uncle Barry sat down on the other side of him "Yea kid, we'll love you no matter what."

And 'Oh god'

Wally could feel his eyes start to water making his vision blur slightly. 'Cause it was too much... too much.'

He took in a deep breath desperately trying to calm himself. "I... I'm gay."

'There, he finally said it'

It took Wally a couple of minutes to actually realize he was crying and that he was surrounded by warmth. Being surrounded by his guardians' warm embrace only succeeded in making him cry harder as he held onto them for dear life, like if he were to let go they would leave and never come back.

"Oh sweetie." Aunt Iris said placing a soft loving kiss on his forehead "Shhh, it's ok Wally we're right hear."

Wally's crying quieted down to small sobs, then to nothing more the last few tears that still stained his cheeks. Just knowing that his aunt and uncle accepted him so freely made Wally feel so much better and less anxious about telling them about his relationship with Roy. Eventually he would have to do that, later though because Wally has had enough emotional roller coasters for one day. Aunt Iris and Uncle Barry finally let go of the young red head. They sat in silence for a moment, until Uncle Barry broke it.

"Why didn't you tell us this earlier?" he asked.

"I was scared." Wally said, his voice still a little shaky.

Uncle Barry's frown deepened "Why were you scared?"

"That you would reject me." Wally admitted.

'That you wouldn't want a defective child'

"Wally why would you ever think that? We love you and would never judge you." Aunt Iris assured him.

"I know that now." Wally said with a small smile.

His aunt returned the smile and got up off the couch "You must be hungry, I'll go start on dinner. I'll even make your favorites Wally." she said walking off to the kitchen.

"Go take a shower before dinner kiddo, you stink." Uncle Barry said jokingly before ruffling his hair.

"Ok." Wally said going upstairs to his room.

Wally stripped out of his close once he got into his bathroom, throwing them into a pile next his hamper. He tuned the faucet on warm and stepped into the shower, closing the curtain around him. Wally shivered when the water was cold for a second before it got hotter. The red head let out a sigh as the warm water cascaded down his body, the feel of it relaxing him. After a minute or two Wally grabbed the soap and bathed, happy to get the stink of the day off. Wally finally got out of the shower and wrapped a towel loosely around his waste. He was about to leave the bathroom but was stopped mid step at the sound of his phone vibrating against the cold bathroom tile. Wally picked up his phone out of the pile of dirty clothes and went back into his room. The red headed boy sat down on his bed as he read the text message, it was from Roy...

It read 'Hey baby, come over I wanna c u'

Wally frowned at the phone screen 'Uh no, no you're not allowed to text me right now' he thought bitterly, throwing his phone on the bed ignoring it all together.

Wally knew if he were to text Roy back they would spend the rest of the night arguing over the phone and he really didn't feel like wasting his time over something as stupid as fighting with Roy about why he can't go over to his apartment. Instead he shuffled through his dresser trying to find something to wear, carelessly throwing a clean pair of boxers, sweat pant and a t-shirt.

"Wally dinner!" he could Aunt Iris call for him from downstairs.

Taking one last glance at his cell phone Wally left his room to go eat. Half way to the stairs Wally realized something... the make up he was wearing to cover up his bruises had more than likely washed off in the shower and all that crying had to have taken some off too. He couldn't let his aunt and uncle see them, he wasn't ready to explain that to anyone. Wally turned on his heels, walking as fast as he could back down the hall to his room. Quietly shutting the door behind him, Wally went straight to his bathroom to look in the mirror. He sighed in relief when his face was surprisingly still covered. It wasn't completely covered but enough to where as no one would notice. Wally jumped in surprise from the knock at his door, he came out of his bathroom to see Uncle Barry poking his head in through the cracked door.

"Time for dinner kiddo." he said with a smile.

"Ok, I'll be down in a sec." Wally replied

With that his uncle left leaving Wally alone. He could hear his phone start to vibrate with a call from his bed. Wally could see the picture of Roy on the screen, but didn't answer. Instead he left and went downstairs to eat dinner. He sat down at the table next to his aunt. The entire dinner was spent in an awkward silence with his aunt and uncle giving him sad, sympathetic looks. Please don't look at him like that, Wally didn't want to be treated like a kid, because he wasn't... he wasn't that fragile little eight year old child that they first took in all those years ago and he sure as hell wasn't about to let them treat him like he was some breakable porcelain doll. When Wally finished eating he set his dishes in the sink then headed towards the stairs.

"Good night Wally, we love you." Aunt Iris said her words stopping him at the base of the steps.

Wally frowned,because that was it, that sentence let him know that yes, they were going to treat him like he was that broken kid again. Regardless Wally still turned around to face her with a bright smile.

It was fake...

"Night, love you too." he said genuinely despite his fake smile.

Wally finally made it back up to is room and climbed into bed, not even bothering to see if he had homework. Although Wally was exhausted he knew he wouldn't be able to sleep because every time he closed his eyes he was plagued by those ice blue eyes.

Conner woke up with a start, drenched in a cold sweat and a serious tent in his pants.

'Not again'

Conner groaned, because seriously this was like the third time this week he's had a wet dream about him.

…..Wally

It's not like this was the first time he'd done anything sexual involving the thought of Wally, no, it was just that it's never happened this frequently is all. It seems like that's the only thing his brain could focus on now and it was becoming a serious distraction. Conner groaned again, but this time because his arousal was starting to ache with the want to feel, be inside of that beautiful red head. Before he could succumb to his urges and masturbate like his throbbing member wanted him to, he got out of bed and as quickly as he could hobbled uncomfortably out of his room and to the bathroom down the hall. After a much need cold shower, Conner was back in his room getting dressed. He settled on a pair of jeans, a black t-shirt, his favorite combat boots and a jacket since it looked cold outside. The raven haired teen stepped out of his room to an, as per usual, empty house. Conner grabbed his bag and his keys from off the kitchen counter and left the small apartment he lived in with his father, not bothering to eat breakfast. He decided to take the elevator to the parking garage, feeling too lazy to use the stairs.

'Today I need to try harder to not stare at Wally' Conner thought as the Doors to the elevator dinged signaling that the elevator was ready. The teen stepped in thankful he was the only one in the small space.

Conner closed his eyes in frustration at himself because he knew, Conner knew the moment he saw Wally he would stare and he knew it was wrong and creepy and it would just drive him away. But Conner was scared to let the red head out of his sight for fear of seeing another bruise on his beautiful body. Especially not after that conversation he accidentally over heard on Monday, words from the conversation now swirling through his head.

"How did they get here this time."

"Tell me your excuse."

"I-I was being stupid and fell."

...It's like every other time we see you there's a new bruise or cut, new lies."

"I can take care of myself Dick I don't need your help!"

The sound of the elevator doors opening pulled Conner back into reality, he shook his head ridding his mind of those thoughts. He stepped out into the garage, his car was parked in the fifth space down. He mindlessly got in his car and speed out of the apartment buildings towards school with only one thing on his mind.

'Don't stare'

He got to school fairly early so he just parked his car, turned it off and sat there. Conner decided to wait til the bell rang, not really in the mood to listen to Kaldur's voice of reason on how he should open up and communicate more. It wasn't that long before the bell to go to class rang and Conner was already off going to his first period.

Conner was kind of happy when he saw his closest friend Kaldur waiting for him at his desk, right across from Conner's own desk.

'Maybe I could ask him for advice'

Conner thought as he took a seat at his desk waiting for the teacher to start english class. Soon Mrs. Blake started the class her voice bringing attention to all the students.

"Ok class, we'll be watching a movie on the book we're about to read," she said making the whole class perk up with excitement about not having to do anything all period. "But don't get too excited you still have to take notes." she said making everyone deflate and pull out their note books.

Soon the lights were dimmed and the movie was started. Conner could hear everyone else scribbling down notes, but couldn't find it in himself to care enough to even start on his own. Which were probably going to be handed in at the end of class. All Conner could think about was Wally and what he would be doing right now. Before he could be sucked into his own thoughts, thankfully Kaldur got his attention... the last thing he needed was to get a boner in the middle of class.

"Conner, may I have a word?" Kaldur asked politely

Said boy looked up from his untouched work "Uh, yeah."

"An acquaintance of mine Richard Grayson has informed me that he and his friend Wallace find your staring quite... turbing and have asked that you stop." Kaldur informed. "I have also noticed this. If I may ask, why have you been staring at Wallace?" Kaldur asked politely as always.

"I, uh... it's complicated." Conner said looking down at his empty paper.

"You like him." it was more of a knowing statement than a question.

Conner blushed "Y-yeah."

"Why not just talk to him?" Kaldur suggested.

Conner frowned "I don't know, what if he doesn't like me back or already has a... boyfriend." the raven haired teen hated to think of anyone else besides him being with Wally, it just hurt.

"Well, if you do not wish to tell him how you feel my advice to you is to stop staring at him." the dark skinned teen advised.

"I know, I've tried , but every time I see him it's like before I even know what's going on I'll start staring, I can't help it and it's creepy I know." Conner groaned letting his head fall against his desk with a small 'thud'

"I see... maybe trying to occupy your mind with something else?" Kaldur questioned with an elegantly raised eyebrow.

"I guess I'll try." Conner said deciding to finally at least try to do his work.

After the rest of the class just staring at a failed attempt at taking note, Conner wrote his name at the top of the paper and passed it up with the rest of the row. Once the bell rang Conner packed his stuff and was out of there in seconds. He didn't have to wait up for Kaldur because his class was in the opposite direction. He finally made it to chemistry and took his seat. Conner couldn't help his wandering gaze when Wally came in and took his seat.

'Don't stare! He'll think you're some obsessed weirdo!'

Conner snapped at himself and went back to staring straight to look at the front of the classroom. Mr. Palmer started talking, Conner thinks he might have been saying something about equations. He wasn't listening, instead to busy trying his hardest not to stare. As class went on Conner would allow himself to sneak subtle glances. Until he was caught... Wally had caught him accidentally staring again and Conner's breath hitched as he felt that sudden flutter in his chest when those emerald eyes locked with his. Quickly realizing what he was doing Conner blushed and looked away, trying to go back to work. The rest of chem. Conner was determinedly trying to work not allowing his thoughts to go to day dreams about Wally, 'cause then he'll stare and that was bad and horrible and creepy and weird and he really needed to do his work... or start it at least. Once class was over Conner all but ran out, only stopping his quick pace to sit on a bench near the end of the hallway, finally alone.

"God, I am such a creep." Conner groaned letting his head sink into his hands as he sulked.

He groaned again, 'I'm obsessed with a boy that probably doesn't even like other boys' he felt horrible 'He probably thinks I'm just some creepy perverted weirdo!'

Conner thought horrified with himself because he was a pervy weirdo, getting off on staring at the red headed boy.

"Hey!"

Conner turned around to see the object of his obvious affections standing in front of him. Oh god! He had no clue what to do, Conner could feel himself start to stare. He shook his head bringing himself back to real life and wow he's been doing that a lot lately.

He swallowed down his nervousness and spoke "Uh wha... you uhm," or not.

Wally looked at him in annoyance and slight amusement, with arms crossed over his chest.

'Great he probably thinks I'm an idiot now too'

"Great he only speaks caveman too." the red head snarked.

Conner frowned "I don't speak caveman."

Wally simply rolled his eyes "Whatever I don't care, but this little hide and go stare shit you have going on needs to stop... because seriously dude? I don't even know who you are!" Wally hissed out in annoyance.

"We're in the same chemistry class." Conner informed dumbly.

'Wow, way to state the obvious Conner' he thought, resisting the urge to slap himself in the face.

Wally rubbed the bridge of his nose as an exaggerated gesture of his anger "I. Don't. Care. I just want you to stop staring at me and if it's 'cause of what happened on Monday... because I know you saw, it's none of your business."

"It's n-not because of that." Conner mumbled almost inaudibly

Almost...

"What?" the red headed beauty sneered

What the hell! Only he would be able to sneer beautifully' Conner thought baffled.

"That's not why." Conner said surprisingly calm.

"Well, are you going to tell me 'cause I'd really love to know why I've been stared at all week." Wally said sarcastically.

Conner could feel heat rise to his cheeks as they dusted a light pink "I-I like you..."

Conner looked into the red head's eyes seeing a rainbow of different emotions flash through his eyes so fast he couldn't even grasp which ones they were. Then one became very clear sadness, the hurt in Wally's eyes made him want to do nothing but hug and kiss all of the small red head's pain away.

"You're lying..." Wally said hugging himself for a second before realizing what he was doing, then got angry "If this is some kind of joke it's not funny! Ha ha let's all make fun of the gay kid, I get it."

"What! No, this isn't a joke... I really do li-" was all Conner could manage to get out before Wally was yelling at him again.

"Stop lying! Just stop lying, stop staring at me and leave me alone!" was the last thing said before Wally stomped off down the hall.

There was nothing Conner wanted more right now than for a wormhole to appear out of nowhere and swallow him whole leaving no trace. He sigh because school wasn't even half done yet and he really didn't feel like sitting through another class. Conner sighed again and went to class anyway, besides only two more periods til lunch. That would at least make thing a little better... Right?

'I hate Thursdays' Conner thought moodily as he got to his next class.

As Conner predicted, the next two classes were the same. All he did was zone out for most of the class time playing with his pencil or doodling little hearts with 'Wally + Conner' in them. He knows, he was acting like a love struck preteen girl but he couldn't help himself right now. At least he took the liberty of getting rid of the evidence. The bell rang for the end of the class period and thank fucking god it was finally lunch. Conner walked through the crowded halls over to the outdoor lunch area. It seemed like the lunch line took forever just for there to only be some disgusting goop. That's when Conner decided his heal wasn't worth it and left the lunch line to go over to the table him and his friends usually sat at, but stopped in his tracks once he saw her there.

"Shit." Conner cursed under his breath.

He couldn't help it when he saw Megan at the table talking animatedly to Kaldur who looked more bored than anything. Yes! Her back was turned so she wouldn't notice if he walked away now, but then Kaldur noticed Conner and was now looking at him with a pleading look as if to say 'help me' always the gentleman too nice to tell her to shut up. Megan realized Kaldur's attention was else where and turned to see what he was looking at.

"Oh Conner, hi!" she waved happily oblivious to his glare.

Conner hesitantly waved back and as slowly as possible walked over to the table. Already feeling annoyed by the auburn haired girl Conner opted to sit on the other side of Kaldur, the furthest away he could get without actually sitting at a different table altogether.

"Hello Conner, you seen a bit unhappy, is there something wrong?" his friend asked

Before he could answer Megan flounced over plopping herself down on his lap "Aww, Conner why are you sad? Here have a cookie to make you feel better, I made them myself." she said shoving a cookie in his mouth.

"They're burnt." Conner growled in disgust, spitting the cookie out of his mouth.

Conner sat waiting for the 'princess' to get up so he could at least sit comfortably. But no, that was way too much to ask for because the girl never left his lap so he was forced to stay there. Conner let a scowl form on his strong features. It's not that he didn't like her because he did honestly, it was just that she was so... clingy and Conner hated that. They weren't even dating for christ sake! And she was always falling all over him, did the girl have no shame? Because it was painfully obvious that it wasn't going to happen. He didn't even like girls like that! So thanks to her everyone thought they were dating. Conner never got why Kaldur even indulged in her stupid, preppy, little conversations about air headed cheerleaders and whatever else she would prattle on about. More than half the time he blatantly ignored her, but she just never got that he wasn't interested. The sound of the bell ringing was like a symphony to Conner's ears, letting him know this torture was finally over. Conner literally threw Megan off of his lap, grabbed his bag and went to class.

Conner let out a relieved sigh when he got to the locker room door, thankful that it was the last period of the day. When he went inside the locker room he noticed it was empty.

'Wow, must have got here late'

He thought as he made his way to his locker, stopping next to a row of locker when he saw Wally getting dressed. Conner let his eyes linger on the shirtless boy before coming to his senses.

'Don't stare!' he reprimanded himself 'I'm going to go talk to him' he thought taking a deep breath before approaching the red head, who had managed to put his shirt on while Conner was arguing with himself.

"Wally." Conner said walking over to him.

Wally turned to face the taller boy with a scowl ever present on his face, although it looked more cute than it did intimidating. "How do you know my name!" he hissed emphasizing every word angrily.

"We have same class." Conner stated the obvious again.

Wally grit his teeth "I don't care nor do I-mmnph"

Wally never got to finish that statement because Conner cut him off, by placing his lips over the red head's mouth. He could feel the smaller boy melt into the kiss, tangling his hands into thick raven locks. Wally's lips were so soft against his own as he let his hands rest on the other boy's waist pulling his closer. Conner bit the redhead's bottom lip softly begging to be let in so he could feel, taste, explore his mouth. Wally groaned parting his lips, waiting for Conner to come inside. Conner wasted no time sliding his tongue into that amazing wet cavern. Conner moaned at the feel of Wally's tongue sliding past his teasingly. Before he got too into the moment Conner pulled away completely from Wally who let out a small whimper at the loss of contact. Conner breathed in deeply before he spoke.

"Now will you believe me when I say I like you?" he asked the beautifully freckled ginger in front of him.

But Conner only got a sad look from Wally in return "That... was an amazing kiss, but I'm in a relationship already and now I feel like shit because I just totally made out with you. And I liked it." he whined.

"I... I'm sorry, I didn't... if I had known I wouldn't have forced myself on you." Conner said starting to really hate life right now.

"I'm sorry I have to go." Wally said before running out of the locker room.

And now Conner kind of... wanted to die.

Ok,so there you have it! The second chapter hope it was good. Remember read and review! :)
