Forgot to say that this is an AU where they aren't superheros! Wally is a long distance marathon runner and Dick actually has a job as an acrobat in a circus, but he is still Bruce Wayne's ward.

(Bruce Wayne is a for hire private detective)

I had only planned this chapter and the next and that would technically be it for this story but if you guys would want more, I could play around with this AU and explain a few things.

Leave your reply in a review or private message please! :)


Dick walked into the coffee shop and looked around for his 'date.' Sure he was cute but he didn't actually know the guy. Let alone if he was even into guys in the first place. This was a bet, and that was it for now. He saw the red haired boy waving and he smiled.

Dick was wearing his sunglasses again and more moveable clothing. All Wally had said was to be in flexible clothing. Dick had replied with a slightly unclean response having to do with flexibility and felt proud of himself when Wally texted back a simple 'Dude.'

He didn't bother sitting down at the table since Wally was already getting up. He gave the other his part of the bet money and then grabbed Dick's wrist and started pulling him towards the front, "I am so getting your name at the end of the day."

Dick just raised an eyebrow and smirked, "Whatever you say Wall-man."

They walked for a while, Wally never actually letting go of Dick's wrist which made the brunet smile in amusement. He thought about letting the other know but he had a feeling that the red head would then stop.

The physical contact was nice.

They finally stopped at a bigger than average building. Dick blinked at the name of it, "Rock climbing huh?" he commented with a smile. Yes it was a lot more creative than dinner and a movie. The brunet also heard somewhere that there was a competition type thing that was held every day.

Wally looked back and smiled at the response, "Yup!" He seemed to just notice that he was still holding the other's wrist and felt a blush rise up his neck. He cleared his throat and let go, "Come on!" He raced forward through the doors with his date not so far behind.

Not even an hour later they were both panting from exertion. They had pretty much just raced through the rock walls and were neck and neck.

Wally reached for another rock, "So… when are you gonna take off those sunglasses?" he grunted as he pulled himself up to the next ledge for a breather.

Dick breathlessly laughed and pulled himself onto it as well, "I honestly forgot about them." He wiped the sweat off of his forehead with the back of his hand and took off the glasses. He took a few deep breaths and glanced up to the top of the wall which was around thirty feet away.

Wally wiped his face as well and looked up, "There it is."

Inside a clasp on the top of the wall had three hundred dollars to whoever could get to it. Everyone was hooked into a pulley system and if you lost your grip it would lower you to the ground.

Dick glanced back at Wally, making eye contact before smirking, "You ready for this?"

Taken by surprise from the deep blue eyes that greeted him, Wally could only nod, 'Woah.' He didn't realize that Dick had already started until he heard a light yell of 'You coming?'

Green eyes blinked before looking up, "Hey!" He quickly scrambled up to where the other was watching him in amusement, "Not fair." He grumbled quietly.

Dick just laughed and continued on.

This gym had a legacy, only very few people had reached the top throughout the time that it opened around six years ago, Dick was determined to get to it, not because of the money, but because he just loved breaking almost impossible expectations.

Being an acrobat only helped him in this instance.

Wally grunted and rested against the wall. He looked up and took a few deep breaths before pushing himself forward again.

Unfortunately his hand slipped and he let out a small yelp as he fell the short two feet drop.

Dick glanced down in worry and grinned when the red head groaned and leaned back to be let down. The green eyes grew further and further away until Wally had reached the floor where applause from the people who were watching greeted him.

Dick blinked at the group. He didn't realize they had attracted a crowd with their climbing, although he should have expected it since not many people had made it this far before.

With renewed vigor Dick pushed himself up again, it was getting much harder with the rock actually sticking out so the person climbing had to use basically all upper body strength.

He reached up and held onto one of the rocks and then did the same with his other arm so that now his feet were dangling. Dick heard a shout of "You got this D!" and grinned to himself which only grew bigger when he heard more strangers chiming in.

Dick made it to the ledge and pulled himself up so that his shoulders were level with it and then used his flexibility to his advantage.

Wally was cheering him on from the crowd and his eyes widened when he saw the brunet reach his leg over the ledge next to his head. He felt a bright blush engulf his face at the show of limberness and cleared his throat.

When Dick stood up on the ledge he put his hands in the air gaining a loud applause from the crowd. Wally grinned and whistled with his fingers so it would be heard.

He watched the brunet reach up and undo the money that was dangling and couldn't help but hope that they could have another non-date.

Dick sat on the ledge to catch his breath for a few moments before holding onto the chord that was attached to him so it would lower him down to where the crowd was. He got to the ground and smiled at everyone who was congratulating him. A small tap on his shoulder made him turn around to see an employee holding a camera.

"You get to have your picture taken and put on the wall with the other five people who have done it."

"Sweet!" Dick nodded and held up the money with a smile and the crowd behind him, he blinked in surprise as he was more or less tackled by the red head that made a face at the camera as it went off.

The picture turned out very candid, Dick with a hint of surprise laced in his smile and Wally making a face.

They were both given copies and then the third was hung up next to a woman who had long blonde hair that managed to climb to the top as well.

After being congratulated a few more times, as well as declining some offers of phone numbers, Dick found himself being led once again by the red head, out of the door and to a small park that was a block down from the gym.

Wally glanced at him from the corner of his eye and smiled, "Dude, you just made four hundred dollars going on a date with me, don't tell me I can't get your name now."

Dick laughed and shook his head, "Dick."

The red head blinked and then threw his hands in the air dramatically, "What?! Dude, I totally deserve to know!" They sat on the swings as the brunet had burst out laughing, "What now?"

Dick wiped underneath one of his eyes as he tried to control his laughter, "That's my name, its Dick."

"Oh…" Wally felt his freckled cheeks redden. He looked away and laughed quietly. He glanced up as the sun set making the sky a nice light purple and after a while of comfortable silence he broke it again; "I had fun today."

Dick had been watching the other for a while and blinked when he said that, "Yeah, me too Wally." He looked at the ground and smiled, "It was a lot of fun." He said quietly.

The red head started to push his swing a small amount, "Would you like to repeat it?" He asked looking at his feet. Wally felt the blue eyed gaze more than saw but kept his head down.

Dick watched him and smiled again, "You mean like an actual date rather than a bet one?" at Wally's nod and still lack of eye contact he grinned. Using all of his stealth he leaned forward and kissed his cheek, "I would love to."

Wally felt his face enflame and he turned towards the other. Their faces were a few inches apart and he decided to lean forward to actually kiss the brunet. Wally's hands let go of one of the chains supporting his swing and cupped Dick's face.

The acrobat smiled through the kiss and slowly pulled away so that they were still close but far enough to talk and see without their eyes being crossed.

"Where and when fire-crotch?"
