"Well aren't you in a total mess then." Wally said bluntly after Dick finished telling him his dilemma.

"Look, I don't even know why I went to you for advice about this." Dick leaned over and grabbed a cookie from the already half empty plate. They were both on his bed with the tray in between them.

"Because I'm a sensitive guy who has a way with the ladies?"

"More like Aqualad was gone and Superboy wouldn't be much of a help so you would be the only one left."

"Oh wow didn't take you much to shoot me right in the heart huh?"

The boy grabbed his mug and brought it to his lips, the sweet hot liquid warming up his whole body. With a sigh he set it back on the tray.

"So the boy wonder can hack into The Justice League's super computer and Bruce Wayne's security, but can't hack into a girl's brain?
"Girls are far more complicated than a super computer, Wally."

The red head laughed and looked at the picture frame on his side table, "Aren't they all."

"Okay lover boy tell me your secrets."

"I thought I would never see the day when our very own Dick Grayson begged me for advice." Wally sighed, clutching his heart.

"Yeah, yeah, you can make fun of me later." The boy wonder groaned.

Wally smiled, sitting up straight and crossing his legs, like a kindergarten student listening to his teacher read a story.

"I have no clue why I snapped like that. I feel horrible. She just wanted to talk about the kiss and-"

"..and what?"

"I don't know. I just don't want to talk about it."

"...and why?"
Dick shook his head. "Why? I don't know why Wally."

Wally laid down on his bed, staring at the blank ceiling.

"Maybe you just don't want to hear what she has to say."

"Yeah probably." Dick ran a hand through his hair.
"Maybe you're afraid." Wally blurted.

"Wait.. What?"

"Dick you're afraid."

"Afraid of what? Hearing what she has to say?"

Wally nodded.

"Why would I be afraid? Because I'm afraid of-"

"being rejected." Wally finished.

Then the room went silent. Dick stared at the plate in front of him.

"I guess. I've been replaying that kiss over and over again. Fantasizing about her. I just don't want that to end."

"Dick it won't end. I mean, maybe. But you won't know until you make a move."

"And how do you expect me to do that?" he asked curiously.

"Well tell me what you like about her." The speedster asked.

"What?" Dick exclaimed.

Wally just shook his head. "Why. Do. You. Like. Her?" he repeated.

The boy rubbed the back of his neck, his eyebrow furrowed. "I don't know…"

"Oh come on man of there must be a reason."

"Of course there is! It's just embarrassing."

"Well someone isn't traught." Wally laughed, using one of Dick's words against him.

Dick stared at Wally, who was leaning in towards him waiting for the details. Stalling time, Dick grabbed another cookie and took a bite. Slowly chewing it before taking another bite and chewing that even slower. Wally just watched Dick deliberately take his time, before the boy grabbed another cookie. Wally slapped the cookie out of his hand.

"Geez stop that!" Wally yelled.

"Dude my cookie!" Dick yelled louder.

"Stop stalling!"

"I just don't like talking about this." The boy sulked.

"Well you're the one who came to me for help."

The boy wonder groaned, burying his face into his lap to hide his obvious blush.

"Everything. I like everything about her, Wally."

Wally smiled. The simple crush of a boy going through puberty, oh awkward young love at its finest.

"Be more specific. What is it about her that makes you go all bat shit crazy like this?"

"Wally did you just-"

"Yes I just made a bad bat pun, but Dick stop trying to get off topic. We can both laugh about my hilarious joke later."

Dick shook his head. "I don't know. The way she bats her eyes when she talks? Or how smooth her voice seems to go through my ears. The way her hips sway when she walks. or when those blue eyes of hers crinkle when she smiles. How she always seems to know exactly what's on my mind or how she takes action during missions without a second thought. I love how she tucks her soft hair behind her ear and her laugh when I make corny jokes. The feeling of her lips against mine and how her tongue darted-"

"Oh okay! Getting a bit to detailed there." Wally interrupted.

"God, sorry I don't know what's going on with me." Dick sighed, burying his head back in his lap.

Wally chuckled, "Tell her."

"What?!" Dick yelled, "Dude I can't tell her all of that!"

"Why not?"

"B-Because.. Because.."

"Because you're a chicken that's why. How is it that you can go into a mission without any regrets but when it comes to telling Zatanna you like her you run away like a baby? Take that courage you get with missions and use it Dick."

The boy didn't know what to say. He was right, absolutely right.

"Now go back to the cave, apologize to her, and get that kiss I know you've been craving for since New Years." Wally grabbed Dick's shoulders and guided him to the door and down the stairs.

"Alright, alright, I'm going." The boy whined.

Dick slid his feet back into his shoes and shrugged into his jacket. Once he was ready he opened the door, feeling the familiar burst of cold, and stepped outside.

"One more thing." Dick said, facing the dark road.

"What?" Wally asked.

Dick turned around and smiled. "Thanks man." He said, patting the speedster's shoulder.

Wally grinned, "Anytime."
