Fix You
(by: Coldplay)
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
He felt heartbroken, deceived, wretched.
It wasn't fair…Dick was supposed to be his boyfriend. They were in love. He felt like his whole world had been shattered. Like there was nothing that mattered anymore. Not if Dick didn't love him…
Wally could feel his heart clenching every time he thought about Dick. His Robin…his little bird. He was supposed to be innocent, he was pure. An angel in a city of devils, untainted. But maybe that was impossible in a city like Gotham.
Why hadn't Dick just told him that he wanted to take another step in their relationship? Wally wouldn't have refused, the entire opposite actually. Maybe he didn't though, at least not with Wally. Wally couldn't help but think that Dick should've just broken up with him, it would've been better if he had just plainly told Wally that didn't love him anymore.
How long had this been going on? Had Dick been cheating on him from the beginning?
The worst part was that even with all the pain and the tears he still couldn't push away the extreme guilt he was feeling. He had made Dick cry. Even if he was angry and upset with Dick he couldn't stop himself from hating the thought that he had caused Dick's tears. He had made his petit boyfriend cry and then he had left him. In the middle of the field, alone and distraught. Wally could still hear himself telling Dick he was a slut among other things. He had hurt Dick and even if he didn't want to he still felt regret. It was what made him cry even harder. He had promised to himself, the day he had asked Dick to date him, that he would never make Dick cry, that he would never cause the boy any pain. Wally knew that he shouldn't be feeling sorry, he wasn't the one who cheated…and yet, he still wanted to go back to Gotham and apologize. It wasn't fair that he cared and Dick didn't.
"Wally?" Barry knocked softly on the door, slowly pushing it open. He peeked inside only to find Wally crawled up in his bed, his face hidden in a pillow. He could hear his nephew's sniffles as the teen tried to stop his tears. "Want to tell me what happened?"
Barry approached the bed and sat on a side, gently touching the redhead's shoulder. Wally only shook his head against his pillow. Barry sighed, looking at Wally sadly. His nephew had been so excited for his date with Dick, he kept talking about the restaurant and the movie they would watch. Wally kept repeating his plan over and over again, obviously proud of how romantic he was being. Talking about how Dick enjoyed comedy movies and how he had found the perfect place on a park with a clear view of the stars.
The past week Barry had to endure listening to the redhead's lovesick ranting about how beautiful Dick's smile was and how he hoped that the smaller hero would let him kiss him at the end of the night like on the movies. Barry had laughed when the kid had shyly approached Iris, and asked what flowers he should take. Wally had been blushing when Iris smiled and told him to buy a single red rose. Wally had complained that it was to clichéd and boring but when his aunt had explained the meaning he had grinned and hugged her, before leaving to get the rose.
How could all of that turn into a crying speedster? Barry couldn't understand what could have happened that would make Wally break down like this. Wally sat up on the edge of his bed next to his uncle, brushing some tears away.
"I made him cry." Wally's voice was only a whisper. "I hurt him and made him cry…"
"Why would you do that Wally?" Barry rubbed Wally's shoulder soothingly, hoping that the redhead hadn't really hurt Dick.
"He cheated…" The anguished voice made Barry look at Wally startled.
"W-What?" Barry had known the blue eyed boy since he was nine, he would never do that…
"He cheated." Wally's voice took a tinge of anger. "He slept with someone else!" Barry was startled not only about the anger and pain in the sentence, also about what he had said.
"Since when did you two start having sex!" Barry was surprised that his nephew had actually dared go against Batman's orders. The man was extremely overprotective, he wouldn't allow it. Barry knew about the curfews he gave the young couple and Wally had told him about the threats he had received from the billionaire about never touching his little bird under the neck.
"I never…we never did it, okay?" Wally was mortified to admit that he was indeed a virgin, what was worse, his boyfriend had taken the step ahead without him. Was he that unappealing? did he look that much like a loser that Dick didn't even want to touch him?. "I was his boyfriend, you know? I thought that meant something…that we should take this stages together. I was always patient and I never pushed him, and I'm the one that ends up alone?" Wally gave a defeated sigh, feeling frustrated and lonely.
Barry felt oddly proud that he had managed to raise Wally to be a gentleman, but he felt his heart clench at the thought that he had been betrayed like this. "Who did he cheat with?"
"The whole school!" Wally yelled angrily, looking as if he wanted to hit something.
"The whole school? Wally, Dick wouldn't-" The blonde sighed, feeling extremely confused and frustrated. "How did you find out?" Barry realized that it would be better not to get on the wrong side of Wally's anger by denying everything. It would be better to first find out the facts of what happened before he changed his opinion on the blue eyed boy that had become like another nephew to him.
"When I was going to meet Dick I heard some guys talking; they said Dick's name so I went to see what they were saying…they said that Dick…did stuff with all of them…" Wally shifted awkwardly, he didn't want to talk about this with his uncle.
"What exactly did they say?"
"I'm not gonna say it uncle Barry! It was- it was crude and horrible and…I can't talk about Dick like that." Wally's voice was barely a whisper by the end. Wally still cared too much about Robin to repeat the jock's words.
"Maybe they were talking about a different Richard…"
"No, they weren't. They said Grayson." Wally then sighed and told his Uncle exactly what they had said, having to force the words out. He had never talked about anyone like that, never used that type of language, much less about someone he cared about.
As Barry heard the description of the jock's conversation his eyes grew bigger and bigger. He was dismayed to hear the rude comments made about the acrobat. He wished he could run up to Gotham and kick them into oblivion. No one had the right to talk about the fifteen year old like that.
"Is it my fault? Did I do someth-" Wally's anguished voice was cut off by Barry.
"No! no Wally, this isn't your fault…he has no excuse to cheat." Barry could only imagine the pain the redhead was feeling. If Iris ever cheated on him…he didn't even know what he would do.
"But then, why? I thought we were so happy together. I thought I had found the one, that nothing would ever come between us…" Wally leaned forward, his head in his hands.
"Wally-" Barry faltered and sighed, he knew this wouldn't be solved with a 'you'll get over him' and a hug.
"How can it hurt this much? I never believed that someone could really break your heart, but it feels like mine did…" Wally attempted a small laugh, but the sound was sad and painful to hear.
"I think you should talk to your boyfriend, Wally. At least to understand his reasons..." Barry stared as Wally's eyes filled with tears.
"Don't call him that…he's not my boyfriend. I don't want to see him anymore, never again." Wally angrily wiped his eyes, sick of crying. "I don't love him anymore…"
"If you don't…why are you worrying about him?" Barry smiled slightly at Wally, knowing that the younger speedster hadn't forgotten about Dick yet.
"I left him there all alone…what if someone hurt him? he was crying…I shouldn't have left him, he- he told Alfred not to pick him up and Bruce had a meeting…"
"Just call him Wally…maybe you can work this out." Barry looked away so he wouldn't have to see Wally's clenched fists and barely contained tears. The red rose was innocently lying on top of the nightstand. "At least to try and save your friendship?" Barry picked the small object.
"Maybe I should…" Wally sniffled and cleaned some of the tears, his uncle was right they should at least be friends again. He was sure he wouldn't be able to survive if he never saw Dick again. "I just don't understand. How could he? He destroyed everything. He was supposed to love me, he said he did. He was supposed to be the one that could always make me happy, not- not the one that destroyed me…" Wally's tears fell down his cheeks, his shaking hands buried in his red hair as he sobbed quietly. Barry hoped Dick had a good reason for bringing so much pain to Wally.
Bruce walked to the mahogany doors of Wayne manor, wondering who it could be at midnight. He had chosen not to go on patrol that night. He would only go into the city if there was an emergency, tonight he had more important things to care about. Someone who was far more important than patrol.
Alfred was in the kitchen preparing tea and cookies. Even if both knew it couldn't fix a broken heart, it would at least provide some comfort.
He opened the door to find a trembling redhead outside.
