Robin lied in his bed, nurses coming in and out of his room every hour of the day, he was miserable. At least now he wouldn't have to see Conner.
"Have you any news of the war, Artemis?"
"You needn't worry, a new warrior looks to be the shining light of hope for our kingdom."
Robin sat up, his pale face lightening a bit.
"New..warrior?"
Artemis nodded, "It seems as though he's saved countless lives of soldiers, warriors, and even everyday citizens of villiages they've crossed. He's a blessing." She sighed smiling.
"Do you know this man's name?"
"Not his biblical but he goes by a nickname."
"What!?"
"Kid Flash." Robin sighed in relief, holding his chest. He's okay. . he's alright.
This continued for a month and a half time went by quickly with the knowledge of each other through the hype going on and on.
Wallace heard his beloved was getting better, and Richard heard his beloved has saved countless lives and conquered many of the wicked warriors of King Jack's kingdom.
Every so often Barry would grin at Robin, letting him know Wally was okay, once in a while, he'd steal or slip a letter to or from the prince and both of the men were just as in love the day they met.
One day, something lovely occurred in a letter.
Dearest Robin,
I hear you're having a masquerade in a few days to celebrate your engagement, I'm sneaking in. I've got my suit tailored and my mask designed as that of a jester to hide my fiery hair. That, and to make you giggle. Please see me at the garden gates where we met, and please dance with me in the moonlight, for I'll be returning to the battle fields soon after.
Your beloved, Wally.
Richard giggled, screaming in enthusiasm as he accidentally awoke Conner who slept beside him.
"What's the matter, love? What's that?"
"Oh nothing!" Richard giggled, kissing the other to distract him.
"Well, go get ready then, tonight will be important, look your best."
Richard sighed, Wally always thought he looked his best.
"Yes your highness." He sighed, turning to stick his tongue out.
Everything seemed to go by so slow, every so often a cook would have him try a food to see if it was to his liking.
"Barry." Richard sighed, "How do I look?"
Barry knew what was going on, hell he was the one to sneak Wally in.
"Beautiful as any woman." He laughed making what grew to seem like his son-in-law, blush.
"Thanks." He sighed, placing his mask over his eyes, a black one, much like his old.
"Care to dance?" Robin turned to see his fiance.
"Not now, wait til the guests get here."
"They're already arriving."
"Looks like I have to go entertain then." He winked, turning away from his fiance, who abruptly grabbed his wrist.
"You'll behave tonight, Richard."
"Ow.."
"Quit acting so disgusted by my touch I am your fiance...I love you very much."
Barry stepped in, Artemis beside him.
"We're sorry but if you grab this young highness's hand we might have to intrude, and we don't need a quarrel with another kingdom, right?" Barry smirked, tugging Conner's hand off.
"Your father King Kent wouldn't really approve of your behavior, Prince Conner." Artemis grinned.
"Ugh. ." Conner sighed, turning away. "Just go entertain the guests, we'll speak tonight."
"Aye, 'love'." Richard smiled, kissing his fiance again. Conner smiled kissing him back.
It wasn't as if he meant to hurt his beloved he just had his own demons. . he felt unloved
too. . .
"Ahem, Richard it's nearing evening, I'd go check out the gardens, they look lovely at sunset."
"They sure do..." He smiled, running off, greeting the irritating guests one by one as he passed them. The garden was off limits and night was nearing, from around the corner he could see bells on a cap.
He ran as fast as he could gripping the other from behind.
"Robin!"
"Barry~!"
Their lips met it seemed as though even with arms gripped tightly, they couldn't get close enough, tongue mingled and night fell as their lips set the sun.
Both boys began to cry, this had occurred in either of their dreams but it was finally happening, they were finally together again.
Wally smiled, tears running out from his eyes as he kissed him over and over again. "I love you, I love you so much." He whispered between kisses.
"I love you too, Wally."
"You're so beautiful in the moonlight." He giggled, wiping the tears away. Robin made small hics with every cry. "Aw, hell. Yer' always beautiful."
Robin smiled softly, clutching his lover close.
"Take me" he whispered, "Please..Wallace."
