Warning: If you hadn't noticed by now, it's SLASH (Wally/Dick, Kid Flash/Robin)


Skyscraper
(by: Demi Lovato)

Only silence as it's ending, like we never had a chance
Do you have to, make me feel like there is nothing left of me?

You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper


Dick sighed as he leaned against the headboard of his bed and clutched his pillow harder against himself, he was tired of crying, he just sat there, thinking about how his life crumbled around him. He had run straight to his room once he got home, he didn't want Bruce and Alfred to get worried for him…

Driving back to Gotham had been extremely dangerous if Dick really thought about it, he had almost crashed twice, and he had to stop several times to try and calm himself. He had been crying most of the time and whenever he stopped he still couldn't think about anything but Wally.

The worst part was that he had ran into Superboy before leaving, the clone had seen Dick in a moment of extreme vulnerability. Superboy had been startled to see Dick's tears falling down his cheeks. The smaller hero had hastily told him to please go help Wally and given him instructions of where to find him, looking away from the clone to hide his tears. Superboy had only nodded before Dick rushed to get to his motorcycle. He wanted to get away from Mount Justice as soon as possible. To just get home already and cry. Hide from all of Wally's lies.

He still couldn't believe that he hadn't know Wally didn't love him. The clues were all there, he had just been escaping from it all. He had been so deep in denial he hadn't seen what was right in front of him. Anyone could tell that he didn't deserve the red head. Every time he showed up at Gotham Academy at least one person would tell him that Wally was out of his league. They always told him he was too much of a geek to have Wally as a friend. He hadn't told anyone from his school the truth, and yet they knew he wasn't worth Wally's love anyways, they thought he wouldn't even be Dick's friend.


Flashback

Dick walked out of his class only to be approached by two girls from his math class. They giggled as they told him that there was a red headed kid looking for him. Dick walked closer to the door to find Wally waiting for him at the entrance of Gotham Academy.

"Who is he? He's cute!" The girls looked at him expectantly, waiting for his answer.

"He's a friend of mine." Dick would rather not call him a boyfriend in front of this girls, he knew how they liked to spread rumors and he didn't want any more of his peers picking on him.

"Is he your boyfriend?" The mocking voice of a jock startled Dick and he turned to find two Hockey players smirking behind him.

"No, I said he was my friend." Dick tried to respond with confidence. It hurt to say it even if he knew it wasn't true.

"Look at how the girls are staring at the guy, there's no way he would be interested in this little loser." The jocks laughed and left, pushing Dick against a wall. The two girls looked at Dick with some pity before leaving.

Taking a deep breath Dick left to find Wally, after all he was his boyfriend. Even if the jocks mocked him, he knew that Wally loved him. Even if he was out of his league, even if he could get someone so much better, Wally still loved him, right?

Dick tried to push away his negative thoughts and smile back at Wally when he finally came within the speedsters view.

End Flashback


The ones that believed he was just a friend would only tell him how it was impossible that the older boy would ever be friends with such a "nerd" or with a "geek" like him. Always looking at him skeptically and giving a sneering remark on how the redhead was probably just interested in him because he was doing his homework for him or something.

It didn't matter to him at first after all the jocks and preps always called him names, telling him how lame he was compared to them. They told Dick he was uninteresting, that just because he was rich didn't mean he was beautiful or funny. He had tried to ignore them, but at the end they were right. He didn't have too much positive qualities, nothing about him was enough to stand out.

Wally had also told him, discretely and softly, trying not to hurt him. Now it all made sense, Wally thought the same as his classmates. He thought Dick was dull and uninteresting, just a kid and not even a cute one at that. He was just trying to spare his feelings. Wally had done a great job pretending, Dick had noticed sometimes, but he had always brushed it away…thinking Wally wouldn't lie to him. That he was reading too much into it. But it had been obvious, he was only fooling himself, trying to believe that he could be enough for Wally.


Flashback

Dick walked into Wally's room to find him surrounded by chocolate boxes and letters, receiving a fleeting smile from his boyfriend. He sat next to Wally on the bed and took a chocolate from one of the boxes, looking over Wally's shoulder to the letter. It had been Valentine's day the day before and apparently Wally had gotten many letters and presents from his (apparently many) suitors. Looking at the many envelopes around him he could tell that Wally didn't just have many girls crushing on Kid Flash, there were also a lot that sent letters to Wally West.

Wally turned to him smiling brightly. "Can you believe that I got so many stuff? Aunt Iris told everyone that if they wanted to give anything to us they should just take it to the TV station and look!" Wally motioned to all the presents, among them, many teddy bears.

"Yeah, you got enough chocolate for like…an hour?" Dick laughed softly as Wally mock glared at him.

"Did you get any presents?" Wally fed Dick a chocolate, the blue eyed boy just smiled. "The boy wonder must have thousands of fans."

"I didn't get any. You know Batman won't agree to accepting any gifts." Both chuckled knowing Bruce would burn all the gifts anyway thinking they were bombs or something like that. "Some girls went out at night to give them to us, but Bruce didn't want to approach them, you know how he is."

"How about at school?" Wally picked another chocolate and gave it to his boyfriend.

"Not really, I'm not exactly 'popular' there. Too skinny and lame I guess." Dick shrugged pretending he didn't really care, but seeing Wally nodding made the chocolate taste bitter. Sometimes all the bulling and the harsh words of his peers did manage to hurt him. It came with being a billionaire's son to be bullied he guessed. It only took joining the math club to be called a nerd and his lean and small complexion made him the target of constant teasing. He had been an idiot, thinking Wally would contradict his words.

"Well, who cares, your school is full of jocks so they're the easy ones to adore I guess." Wally smiled and hugged Dick close. But he didn't say 'no Dick, you're beautiful, I wouldn't want anyone else.' It was just like his classmates always said, why look at him when there were prettier and nicer people?

Dick only smiled as Wally showed him the corniest letters, wondering why Wally was dating him when he could chose any of the girls that sent the presents.

End Flashback


Now he knew that Wally was only being nice to him. He was only waiting to find someone he really liked, someone who could really understand him. He was only waiting to find Artemis. She was the perfect girl for him. While Dick was a small and skinny boy. She was tall, well endowed and beautiful. While Dick was sarcastic and random, she was strong willed, fierce and extremely talented. Street smart and witty. Dick couldn't compete with that…she was everything he couldn't be. From the moment Artemis had become part of the team she was already more appealing. Wally had tried to hide his attraction to the girl by being hostile, but Dick could see how the blonde caught Wally's attention, in ways he never had.

He understood why Wally had chosen her. He supported the speedsters decision and wished him all the happiness in the world. He only wished it didn't hurt so bad…


A/N: I know this was kinda short, but I just wanted to upload it, sorry for the delay, life got in the way :/

I hope you liked it, another little insight to Dick's head. Flashbacks of his relationship with Wally and some of the things that made him doubt himself. Of course it's not all, but it's some of the things. It's mainly just bullying and a little of Wally's help for not expressing himself correctly….but hey, we can't blame him, I mean…he's kind of oblivious and he sees Dick as such a wonder he couldn't understand that he was sad or that people at his school would bug him so much. Also, this was the beginning of how he started doubting himself, like at the very first. When he still went in and out of "denial" that Wally didn't love him, so it's not like what made him break up with Wally or anything.

I separated this chapter so I have part of next one already done, if I can I'll hurry it up, okay?

Also, I wanted to ask you to read my new story, it's called "I Heard". It's only got one chapter so far, but I'll get the next one soon and I'd like to see your opinions on it so far =3
