Lost My Heart in Gotham City part 4

January 20th, 2011 Gotham

Wally had no idea that Gotham could be so…beautiful. He was in the park again, near a pond where ducks were swimming with their hatchlings. The sun was setting, casting everything in a red-ish yellow hue and there were a perfect amount of clouds in the sky. The golden sun in the background cast the taller buildings of Gotham in silhouette and everything was just…perfect. Of course Wally's views might be skewed because he was currently lounging with Dick, who was in a cuddly mood which didn't bother the redhead in the least.

He wasn't sure how they had ended up in this position; Wally laying on the grass, Dick curled up at his side, head resting on the redhead's chest, Wally's arm wrapped around Richard in a protective hold while his other arm was being used as a pillow. He smiled as Richard drummed his fingers on his stomach and hummed some tune he had probably heard earlier on the radio. It was all just perfect.

It was then that Dick had an epiphany and not a second later came to a dreadful realization and groaned. The sudden noise of discomfort caused Wally to look down at the younger boy.

"What's wrong?" Wally's green eyes met with Dick's deep blue.

"I think…" Dick began not knowing if he should continue. He bit his lip and looked away from the redhead's curious gaze. "I think I like you. Like you—like you." Dick's cheeks tinted a rosy pink color making Wally smile.

"And that made you groan?" Wally raked a hand through Richard's ebony hair. To say he felt elated at Dick's confession would be an , however, kept himself under control, he would play it cool and not run laps around the park shouting in triumph even though every fiber of his being desperately wanted to.

"No…You said you were leaving tonight…" Dick said, his eyes downcast. Wally's heart fell when he remembered that yes, he and his uncle were leaving Gotham City tonight. He then remembered that he was Kid Flash!Fastest kid in the in the world! He could run from Missouri to New Jersey in twenty minutes if he booked it. Although that would raise some suspicion…

"Dude it's totally cool! My uncle-uh, has connections! A friend with a private jet who happens to think of me as a nephew." Wally lied. "I can be down here whenever I want!" He smiled reassuringly.

"Really?" Richard gave Wally a skeptical look.

"I've never had a reason to come to Gotham much…but now I do." Wally smiled and it made Dick's stomach flop. There was such joy shown in his green eyes; Dick could honestly say no one had ever looked at him that way.

Dick got up from Wally's side and straddled the bigger boy's hips. He leaned down, letting his lips touch Wally's in a chaste kiss, catching the redhead off guard. Dick sat back, gauging Wally's reaction.

"So…" Wally said after a second or two. "I guess that means I'm your boyfriend?" He arched an eyebrow. Instead of replying Dick leaned down again and kissed the redhead, this time deepening the kiss. Dick moaned into the kiss when Wally's tongue swiped across his lips and the redhead's hands wandering up and down his sides. Richard ended the kiss, letting his forehead rest on Wally's. They both smiled at each other.

"I've had…an insane week." Dick said. "I've gone from being in a relationship, to being single…to being in a relationship again. My friends are going to think I'm needy." He chuckled.

"Nah, they'll understand when they meet me and see how awesome I am." Wally boasted, Dick snorted. Wally's phone then decided to ring, ruining the moment. Fishing the device from his pocket he answered. "Hey uncle B." Dick let his body rest on Wally's, his head tucked under the red heads chin. "Right now?" He frowned. Wally's fingers trailed up and down Dick's spine causing the brunet to fidget and giggle. Wally would have to remember that Richard was sensitive there. "Ugh, Uncle B your killing me!" Wally groaned into his phone. "Yeah, I understand." He sighed. "Okay…be right there."

"You gotta go?" Dick sat up again, looking into Wally's eyes. Eyes he was quickly started to become enamored with.

"Yeah…" Dick let Wally up. The redhead brushed himself off and looked at Dick forlornly, the younger boy returned the look.

"Wally I—" Dick was cut off when he was enveloped in a quick tight hug.

"I'll be back as soon as I can." He promised, whispering in Dick's ear.

"You better." Richard smiled when they drew apart. Wally kissed the shorter boys forehead before taking off.

"I'll text you soon!" He yelled out as he ran toward his and his uncle's hotel. Dick pouted to no one in particular before his face fell and he decided to head home himself.

It wasn't even thirty minutes when Wally found himself in Central escorting Mirror Master into a cop car. They had sprinted from Gotham all the way over to Central, thwarted Mirror Master's bank robbery and were now about to walk into the front door of their home. "So!" Wally started as the door closed behind them. "You dragged me away from cuddle time with my brand shiny new boyfriend for Mirror Master?" He glared at his uncle.

"Wow, you went from "he's not my boyfriend" to cuddle time in no time flat. Got to admit kid, you move fast!" Barry snorted at his own joke; Wally groaned and rolled his eyes as he slipped his cowl off.

"Well, I'm gunna go talk to him. Let me know when dinner is ready!"

Wally plopped down on his bed and turned on his T.V. his uncle had so graciously given him after he had moved in. He knew he wouldn't be able to text Dick that he had made it home already since, by plane, it would take 5 hours from Jersey to Missouri. The redhead "harrumphed", grabbed his laptop, logged onto his Facebook, looked up Richard Grayson and surprisingly found nothing in the vicinity of Gotham. Frowning he settled on watching some mindless reality show marathon. A few hours later, five hours and forty-six minutes to be exact—ya know for good measure—he picked up his phone and texted Dick.

"Hey." The message said simply. He was surprised when his phone suddenly started ringing. A bright smile graced his face and he immediately answered.

"Hey bright eyes." The redhead greeted.

"Wally you dork…" A very tired voice responded. "You do realize it's about to be 4 am over here right?"

"Oh crap! Did I wake you up? I'm so sorry!" Wally sputtered.

"No, it's fine. What's up dude?"

"Nothing...I just kinda wanted to talk to you." He rubbed the back of his neck. A breathy chuckled sounded from the other end of the line.

"I miss you too. So what are you up to?" Wally could faintly hear the rustling of bed sheets.

"Just watching some crappy marathon with that one chick…Uh…Kim Kardashian. I honestly don't understand why she's so popular. She's not even that hot! Ugh, I hate all those celebrities that are only famous because their daddies are famous." Wally grumbled. When he didn't hear any kind of response he began to worry. "You there?"

"Huh? Oh, uh—yeah. I'm just really tired dude. I think I'm going to go back to sleep. Text me in the morning?"

"Sure. Night, Dick."

"Good night Wally."

At 8AM on a calm Sunday morning Wally sat at the kitchen table inhaling food prepared by his aunt Iris, said reporter was scrambling around the house getting ready for a big interview of some sort which only left Barry and Wally at the table. Barry had already finished his breakfast and was now drinking some OJ and reading the paper. Wally didn't understand why the man just didn't use the internet like most Americans; to each his own he, supposed.

"Oh my God!" A shrill cry from upstairs caught both speedsters' attention. "Wally! Get up here!" No sooner had she finished yelling, both Barry and Wally were beside her in her and Barry's shared bedroom.

"What is it honey? What's wrong?" Barry asked out of concern. She didn't answer though; she just looked at the television. Eventually both speedsters' eyes wandered to what she was looking at, the scene made Wally's eyes double in size. On the screen was a blown up photo of him and Dick in the park during their make out session. Iris grabbed the remote and turned the volume up.

"So!" One of the news guys in the room said staring up at the pic. "We caught Richard Grayson making out with some ginger kid last night. It's kind of hot."

"Wait a minute! Wasn't he dating that male ballerina, uh Gabriel, like a week ago?" The head "journalist" asked the man who had first started talking about the picture.

"Apparently they broke up." Someone else said while shrugging.

"Wow, broke up and making out in the park a few days later. Kid's a major player. Anyone know who this ginger kid is?"

"No clue. We did get a quote from Gabriel earlier though. He said that 'Dating Richard was the same as having no boyfriend so why bother?' Ouch." They all chuckled. "I imagine being the son of multi-billionaire Bruce Wayne doesn't leave a lot of time for social activities."

"Kids today." The T.V. was suddenly muted.

"Kid, you didn't say you were going out with Dick Grayson."

"He's famous?!"

"Wally…Remember at the diner the other day, I wanted to take you to meet Bruce Wayne's son Dick."

"Oh jeez…I'm dating someone famous."

"This…is going to cause some problems…" Barry muttered to himself before walking out of the room.

"This…" Iris finally spoke up, catching Wally's attention. "Is excellent! My nephew is dating the son of Bruce Wayne. Wait till they hear that I have the full scoop!" She cheered and rushed out of the room and to her car.

The redhead stood there for another minute or two soaking up what had just happened. He promptly rushed to his room, grabbed his phone and called Dick.

When the younger boy answered Wally nearly screamed into the phone "Ohmygod you're famous!"

"I take it you saw the news this morning…" Dick said nervously.

"Dude…why didn't you say anything?!" Wally lay down on his bed.

"I was going to…eventually. And then you said you hated celebrities that are only famous because of their "daddies"…" He trailed off. Wally felt guilt flood his system immediately.

"Oh, jeez Dick—I'm so sorry. I didn't mean—"

"Wally it's fine, I know. I just want you to know that I'm not like that…or how they portray me on T.V." Wally bit his lip. "They make me out to be some kind of player; like I'm just going around spending my dad's money and having sex all the time."

"Dude, I know you're not like that." The red head smiled.

"Thanks…"

"Well …Does this mean I'm going to be in the news a lot?"

"As long as we're dating." Dick said simply.

"I think I can deal with that."

"I'm glad." Dick chuckled.

"So dude….now that that craziness has passed, I tried finding you on Facebook but no dice."

"Oh…I don't have a Facebook. I did but all the paparazzi would just take all the pics and conversations I had and misused them so I deleted it."

"Ah, well damn…"

"I have Skype." Dick offered. "So we can webcam chat."

"Sounds like a plan! Can we? Right now?" Dick laughed into the phone.

"No can do. Maybe later? I have important billionaire's son duties today."

"Alright dude. I'll talk to you later."

"Bye." They both lingered on the line until Dick finally ended the call. Wally couldn't control the huge grin that spread across his face.

"I'm dating someone famous."

Downstairs, Barry was on the phone. "Hey…yeah I saw the news. Should we tell them?"

On the other end of the line Bruce sat in the dining area of the manor with a scowl on his face. "I'll have a talk with Richard about this. What about Wally?"

"Yeah…I'll talk to him…but I mean…Do I tell him about Dick?"

Okay so, it's a little rushed but I really wanted to put a cap on them getting together so I can move on to more Robin KF dynamic along with the rest of Young Justice crew! I wasn't sure whether to put the very awkward and tense conversation both boys have with their mentors in this chapter or the in the next arc but I eventually chose to put it in the next arc.

AN 1: So after going into the DC database it turns out that Gotham has recently been relocated in the comicbook world to New Jersey. It had previously been in New york, go figure. And Central City resides in Missouri. If anyone has any different information on that subject let me know!

As always, Please review so I know if I'm doing a good job or not. Without reviews I have no idea if Im doing well or not.
