The next day, Wally awakened. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes as he headed up the stairs to the bathroom. He had slept over his uncle and aunt's house the night before after dinner.
He reached the top of the steps where he made the turn toward the bathroom door. He pushed the door open. The warm steam from the shower brushed against him. He fully opened his eyes to be greeted by Kaldur'ahm exiting the shower.
His eyes grew wide at seeing his friend fully exposed. Both of their eyes met for a moment. The young speedster's face turned completely red. "Sorry." Wally pulled the door shut.
He turned to rest his back on it as he slid to the ground. He covered his face with his hands. Wally had completely forgotten he wasn't the only one who had spent the night over his uncle Barry's. And to catch his friend in such an embarrassing situation was-
The door opened up behind him. Wally immediately dropped onto his back, striking his head on the bathroom floor. "Ow!" He rubbed his head, gazing up at Kaldur'ahm who stood above him.
Kaldur gazed down at Wally. "Are you alright?" The Atlantean already redressed himself in his normal attire. A few small drops of water rolled off of his face and arms.
"Yeah, I'm good." Wally attempted to play it cool despite the fact his cheeks were still warm.
"Allow me." Kaldur reached his arm down to help his fallen friend.
Wally sat up on his own. "I told you I'm good." He rubbed the back of his head before getting back onto his feet. "Didn't know you were taking a shower." Wally shut one eye as he gave off an embarrassing smile. He pointed pass Kaldur into the bathroom. "You mind if I use the bathroom now?"
"Certainly." Kaldur stepped out of the way so Wally could enter. After Wally had finished using the bathroom and taking his own shower both boys headed downstairs for breakfast.
Iris had just finished laying the food out for the three superheroes before heading to work. She gave both Barry and Wally a kiss on the cheek. She waved goodbye and headed out.
Wally instantly started to wolf down his food. He looked over at Kaldur, pointing at the sausages and toast on his plate. "Aren't you going to have any?"
"Yes, but I shall eat it slowly, Wally." Kaldur picked up one of the sausages with his fork. He put it inside of his mouth and took a bite.
Wally swallowed hard at the sight. He quickly focused back on his own food again in an attempt to calm himself. He inhaled the rest of his meal while stealing glances at his friend.
It was completely strange behavior for the redheaded teenager. He had never found himself, wanting to basically stare at his friend or his heart beat racing at the darker skin male's handsome features. But the closeness of almost kissing him when they smashed into each other while rescuing the Flash the other night coupled with seeing the other boy completely naked just a half hour ago had made Wally feel strange.
He accidently saw how he compared in certain 'regions' and knew he didn't match up. He also felt no envy. Instead he felt an intense heat that filled his body, no wonder he needed a cold shower. And it felt like he needed another.
Wally finally heard his uncle call his name that had a piece of bacon get caught in his throat. He lightly beat on his chest to swallow. He looked over at his Uncle Barry. "Yeah?"
"Are you going to the cave with Aqualad?" his uncle asked again.
"Oh, yeah. Got to go see my sweet M'gann." That's right, he liked his beautiful alien babe. He just admired Kaldur's cool action. His actions and his body? Wally firmly shook his head. Just his actions.
Wally stood up. "So let's get moving."
"Very well." Kaldur stood up, placing one fist over his stomach and the other behind his back. He gave a polite bow. "Thank you for your hospitality, Barry."
"Hey, it's the least I could do after the two of you saved me from the rouges." Barry smiled at the two boys.
The boys soon left the Allen household. They headed for the nearest zeta-tube to get to the cave. Despite Wally's superior speed he found himself trailing behind the older boy. His eyes fixed on Kaldur's grills.
He had never really paid them much attention, but now that he took a closer look they were very stunning. He quickly wondered what it would feel like to touch them.
Instinctively his hand began to reach out for Kaldur's neck. His other hand caught it and pulled it back. He shook his head. He didn't know what was wrong with him. Why did he want to touch Kaldur?
Before he could answer that question they had made it to the abandon phone booth. Kaldur turned back to Wally. He gestured his hand toward the abandon phone booth. "Would you like to go first?"
"Um, sure." Wally stepped into the booth with a computer voice which spoke. "Recognize, Kid Flash B-03." A light engulfed him, taking him to the cave.
Kaldur walked in next. "Recognize, Aqualad B-02." A moment later both boys walked into the cave where they saw Connor and M'gaan heading in their direction.
"You two going somewhere?" Wally questioned.
"Yeah, we were just about," M'gaan spoke. "You know hang out since it's the weekend and all."
"Great, where are we going?" Wally stepped forward with a bright smile.
"Um-"
"I believe they wish to go out alone." Kaldur took a step forward; his arms rested behind his back.
Wally looked back at his friend, raising his eyebrow. "Why would they want to do that?"
"Perhaps…" Kaldur looked at his other two friends. "They do not have enough tickets to bring us along."
"Y-yeah, we got the last two tickets. Maybe next time." M'gann and Connor headed for the zeta-tube.
Even though Wally would normally have questioned where they were going he had no interest. He simply watched them leave before he observed Kaldur walk further into the cave. Wally rubbed the back of his neck, shifting his eyes away from the other boy. "So are the others coming?"
"I have no idea."
Wally pulled out his cell phone. "Let me check." He quickly texted the other members of the Team to see if they were coming. He truly hoped one of them would reply with a yes. The idea of him being left alone with Kaldur made him way too nervous right now with the way his body had been acting the whole day.
Unfortunately for him each of them informed him they were busy. He let out a sigh. "They all have plans with their mentors." He stuffed his cell back in his pocket. He then made his way to the TV room where Kaldur'ahm had already been sitting.
Wally slumped down on the couch beside the Atlantean. He closed his eyes before dropping his head back on the couch.
Kaldur eyed his friend. "Is something troubling you, Wally?"
"Nah, what's on?" He opened his eyes to see that Kaldur had turned on an action movie that he had never seen before. It was in the middle of a huge action scene with plenty of explosions and gunfire.
Wally soon found himself bored with the movie since it was so predictable. He let out a yawn before his eyes accidently fell on Kaldur's arm. They followed the black ink of the eel tattoo all the way down to his big webbed hands that rest on his lap.
The redhead swallowed hard. He never realized how cool the ink looked on the Atlantean. His well tone arms were capable of far more than his. His tats were also really cool when they glowed too.
He soon realized he had been staring far too long. He shifted his eyes back to the movie just as a guy had been caught in an explosion. The man's shirt had been burned off that revealed his muscular upper body.
Wally glanced back at Kaldur with the thought of him just coming out of the shower. His eyes fixed on the other boy's grills. He really wanted to know what they felt like. With his hands at least.
He slightly slid closer to Kaldur who stayed focused on the movie. He narrowed his eyes to get a better look at the grills. His lips were only a few inches away from touching them.
Kaldur looked over at the speedster that made the other boy jump. "Is something the matter?"
Wally leaned away from Kaldur. "I, uh-thought I saw something?"
"Saw what?"
"N-not sure." Wally's face grew redder.
Kaldur grabbed Wally by his shoulders as he looked directly into the speedster's green eyes. "You have been acting strange all day. What is the matter with you?"
Wally swallowed hard yet again. His lips were so close to Kaldur's, his beautiful pale green eyes staring into him. His plump limps at the ready. Kaldur was so close, he could just kiss him.
