The night's air spread goose bumps over his whole body. Car's headlights blinded Dick as he walked along the road, his hands buried deep into his pockets. He could tell by the frost on the windows and the freezing air that the first snowfall of the year was coming soon, probably in the next couple days. God, he just wanted to get there as soon as possible.

His strides became longer and longer as the house came into his sight. It wasn't too long before he was hopping up the steps and knocking on the front door with the back of his hand.

"Just a minute!"

Dick shifted his weight back and forth from his heels to his toes. Damn it, he was freezing his butt out here. All he wanted to do was-

"Hey man!"

Wally's obnoxiously joyful face popped out from behind the front door. Dick could feel the heat from his house on his face.

"Wow it's freezing out there."

"You don't say." Dick said between his chattering teeth.

Then they just stared at each other.

"Well aren't you going to invite me in?" Dick snapped.

"Oh right! Sorry." Wally opened the door wider and stepped aside. The boy hurried inside, taking off his shoes and winter jacket and plopping them onto the floor next to the door.

"You have no idea how happy I am to feel my face again." Dick said as he rubbed his red cheeks.

The red haired boy laughed, "No kidding. You can go ahead and run up to my room. I'll go and make some hot cocoa, looks like you're going to need it."

Dick nodded and climbed up the staircase, taking a left, and headed to the end of the hallway to Wally's room. It was the same as always, piles of clothes everywhere, a bookcase in the corner of the room, but the actual books were laid out on the floor and on the bed, oh and speaking of the bed it wasn't made. What a shocker.

Oh wait this was new.

Dick walked over to the bed and scooted over some of the things crowded around on it to make a spot for him to sit down. He then grabbed the picture frame that was on the side table. Inside was a picture of Artemis and Wally during their first date. Oh how cute.

Dick slid out his phone and took a picture of it.

"Dude what are you doing?"

The boy turned around and saw Wally holding a tray of some cookies his mom probably made for dessert that night and 2 mugs of hot chocolate.

"Wow I didn't expect you to be one of those boyfriends who kept a framed picture of their girlfriend beside their bed."

"Give that back!" Wally dropped the tray haphazardly on his desk and quickly, as a speedster could, lunged over and grabbed the frame from Dick's hands.

"Don't tell anyone on the team about this or I swear to god-"

"Too late." Dick laughed as his fingers clicked on the SEND button.

"Don't you tell me-"

"That I just sent the picture to the whole team? Oh okay I won't" a grin spread across the boy's face.

"Great Artemis will never let me live this down. God if you weren't my best friend I would totally strangle you right now."

"Good to know."

Wally fell, face down, onto his bed. "I can already hear her laughing." Wally groaned, the bed muffling his cries of embarrassment.

"Anyway man I'm not here to talk about your girl problems, I'm here to talk about mine." Robin leaned over, propping his head up with the palm of his hand.

Wally sat back up, "Alright then, spill it."
