Sight
This is it. I've come to a conclusion.
Wally is a stalker.
I have no idea why, but every time I turn around, he is always there. Whether it's on missions, at the mountain, or just outside of a room. He's just there. Waiting for something. I keep seeing his eyes no matter where I am. Those big, gorgeous eyes... Wait, WHAT? Why did I say that about his eyes? It's not like I like him... Right?
"He's staring at you again," Superboy pointed out. Everyone was training. I was stretching, Kid Flash was running around the room, M'gann was mentally holding a punching bag for Superboy, and Artemis was sparring with Aqualad. Superboy eventually had come over with Megan. "You do know that he likes you?"
"Wait, what?" I mumble. KF liking me? "Conner, I think you're wrong on this one. If he likes someone, he would flirt endlessly with that person."
"But Conner's right," Miss M said, "Wally really likes you!" and she points to behind me. I turn around and see said speedster staring at me. He notices that I am watching him, and... Blushes? Turning away, he focuses on his shoes. Then I realize where he was staring.
"This has got to stop," I grumble so lowly only Supey could hear.
"Do you want me to ask him to stop?" he says inquiringly. Ever since Cadmus, Conner has been very protective of me, since he almost squashed me. You could say he's like a big brother to me now.
"Nah, this is something I have to take care of. Thanks," I say smiling at him in gratitude. He shrugs, and leaves with Megan, something about trying to make Scooby Snacks? I get up off the ground and head over to Wally, who's leaning on the wall, trying to act all cool, like everything was fine, but both he and I know that this is weird.
"KF?" I say. He was listening to something on his IPod, so I just yank the ear buds out.
"Hey? What's wrong?" he says, wincing and falling on his knees because I pulled down a little too hard. All I do is glare at him, thankful that I'm taller for a moment now.
"What's wrong is that you're staring at me, and mostly at my butt, so I want to what's wrong with you!" I say bitterly. Then I remember what Supey said. He can't like me. He is straight. I have seen him literally drooling over girls, so he can't just turn gay over night... Right?
FLASH
"What the? Artemis!" Wally says glaring. I turn to my left and see Arty holding a camera. And smirking deviously.
"I only took a photo, no need to get you're knickers in a twist," She said, walking out with Kaldur shaking his head. Then I realize the position we're in.
We were close. Really close. We're only centimeters apart from each other, his head pretty much at the height of my waist, shimmering eyes meeting sunglasses. I desperately want to tell him my identity now, but then I remember what Batman would say. He doesn't kill, but he can do things far worse. Trust me. I've seenhim do it.
Quickly, I take a step away, looking at this very interesting wall, and Wally stands up grumbling. Grumbling?
"Who are you, Robin?" he asks. I crack up for a little, and grinning, I reply.
"Robin, Boy Wonder, at your service," I say bowing. When I look back up, I find out why he wasn't laughing.
"I mean you secret I.D., man," he says with all seriousness and crossing his arms. I was surprised. He's never asked before. I look around, and find that we're alone.
"You know why, Wally, turning to sit down on a bench. He just follows persistently.
"Batman doesn't have to know. You don't have to tell me his secret," he says, uncrossing his arms and sitting next to me. "Do you know how hard it is to not know who your best friend is? How hard it is to never know what's going on when its important?"
"Why do you care all of a sudden?" I say defensively, looking at him. That was the wrong move. Now I can see how hut he looks, how angry at the same time. Maybe I should... "But what about-"
"Like I said, he doesn't have to know. Please? You trust me don't you?" He says looking at me like he was in lots of pain. I sigh, and turn to look at the ground.
"Fine, but not because you look like a kicked puppy," I say, grinning up at him. He finally smiles and stands up. He did look like a cute puppy...
I stand up as well. "You are NOT allowed to tell ANYONE, you can't even mumble it in your sleep," I say pointing at him and poking him in the chest. He just brushes me off.
"I know, I know, Batman will have my head for it if I do, now let's get to the good part," he says, smiling and rubbing his hands together. Hesitantly, I take off my sunglasses and open my eyes. Everything is so much brighter, and Wally just looks dreamily at me. Wait, DREAMILY?
"Wooww," he says, as if he ran out of breath.
"Yeah, yeah, no need to fake it, I know their girly," I say, moving to put on my glasses again, but he stops me by grabbing my hands.
"They are not girly, they are AMAZING, and I wish Batman would let me see them more often," he says blushing. I start to blush too, and we look at each other nervously.
"Do you really mean that? Or are you just trying to get on my good side," I say trying to chuckle. He looks at me seriously.
"Yes, I do, but dude, they are really BLUE!" he says smiling. Right then I can tell that he means it.
"Well thanks, I guess. Oh, and my name is Richard Grayson, or Dick, as I prefer to be called," I say, holding out my hand. He takes my hand and shakes it. When we let go, I swear it felt like my hand was missing something. "What, no dick jokes? That is very unlike you, my friend," I say, looking for a comeback.
"Well, its you're NAME, I doubt making fun of your name you get me on Bat-" he stops, his face changing into one of realization, "WAIT! If you're Dick Grayson, then Batman is BRU-" he starts, but I put my hands on his mouth and almost yell at his stupidity.
"Yell it out for the world, why don't you? This is exactly why I didn't tell you, because I knew you would freak-... out?" I say , but hesitated when he hugged me.
"Thank you," he whispers in my ear. I almost shiver in... Pleasure?
"Umm, for what?" I say. He puts me down gently, and smiling, tells me why.
"This means that you fully trust me with everything in your life, and trust me, I'll start bugging you A LOT from now on," he says, with that same dopey grin. I roll my now visible eyes, and he just... giggles?
"I'm going to grab a bite, wanna come with, Richie Rich?" he says putting his arm around me. That cute little... CUTE?
"Umm, sure, why not, but I am NOT paying for your stomach, Kid Bottomless Pit," I say, elbowing him in the gut and running to the garage to get my R-cycle.
"Hey, wait for me!" he says running after me. I just cackle and keep running.
Author's note: just want to thank everyone who reviewed me and say that this was sitting in my binder for quite a while 'cause I was too busy to type. But reviews motivate me! PEACE OUT!
