Ok so I did read the comment someone left reminding me to swap this to complete. So as an apology to anyone holding out hope because I left this as ongoing I wrote a tiny little snippet. This is set just after the last episode of season 1. Wally and Artemis had their new years kiss and this is just a tiny little interaction between Dick and Wally about it.


It had been days since their new years kiss and Wally had no idea what to make of it. He finally admitted to himself that he had feelings for Artemis and she seemed to reciprocate them. That was until he attempted to get her to go on a date with him and she made obviously false excuses.

Naturally in his time of need he called his best friend. Dick Grayson, ward of one Mister Bruce Wayne.

"Wally, what brings you to my neck of the woods?"

Ok he called to give a 5 second heads up that he would be going over.

"Just wanted to hang out, have a chat-"

"Ask questions about girls?"

"Maybe."

Dick laughed. Not his Robin cackle, his real laugh. It, as usual, was contagious and Wally found himself holding his side from the pain in minutes.

"C'mon, let's see if Alfred can actually fill that bottomless pit you call a stomach."

"Oh you're on dude."

Dick lead him through the manor into the kitchen where Alfred, to his surprise and glee, was already cooking something that smelled delicious. There were sandwiches waiting for them on the table. Wally was in heaven. It was always nice going to someone's place who understood his metabolic needs. He wolfed down 2 before his butt even hit the chair.

"So are you going to pause long enough between bites to tell me what's up?"

He almost choked on the food in his mouth.

Alfred placed whatever delish dish he was cooking on the table and excused himself saying he would clean up when they'd finished in the kitchen. Wally decided to take the opportunity to find out what he had been cooking. Pancakes!

"Oh I'm in heaven right now!"

Dick was always patient with him. This time wasn't any different. Wally was able to eat most of the stack of pancakes before Dick prompted him again about why he was there.

"Ok here's the thing.

"Right."

"So remember how Artemis and I-"

"Tongue tangoed?"

Wally's face paled. He had no idea why he was so embarrassed. Maybe it was the remnants of how he used to react to anything Artemis related. He could almost feel the snarky remark trying to force its way out.

"Ok seriously what's going on?"

He couldn't quite get the words out he wanted to say so he shoved another pancake in his mouth.

"Dude," Dick said.

"Ok ok. I just. It's weird not pretending you know?"

Dick just smiled and nodded. No one got him like his best friend and he was grateful for it.

"I feel like I've conditioned myself to be a jerk."

"And you're scared that it'll scare her away right?"

He sometimes hated how perceptive his best friend was.

"I tried to get her to hang out with me and she made up some fake thing she had to do."

Dick, once again, started laughing at him. Gah it was frustrating!

"How do you even know it was fake?"

"It was obvious," he said scratching his head.

He watched Dick closely. If the tables were turned he was sure he would be rubbing the scar on his chest. He asked him once if it hurt. He didn't really know why he asked, they both had similar scars so he would be aware of them hurting. Dick said that when he was uncomfortable or stressed that it itched. He found himself rubbing his chest. He could understand what he meant.

"Look you don't know that she has a fake thing. Maybe she has something going on with her family, we know how complicated it is for her. You guys really just need to DTR."

"DTR? What the hell man?"

"Determine the relationship."

"You sound like a chic."

"I sound like someone who knows what they're talking about. You are forgetting that my other best friend is a girl. She tells me all this stuff."

"You, or should I say she, has a point."

"Of course we do. Go find her, I'll give you her real address since everything is all out in the open anyway and you can go find her."

"What's the catch?"

"There wasn't one. But, now that you mention it...I think you will be doing my share of the cave cleaning duties don't you think?"

Wally sighed. He should have kept his big mouth shut.

"I got it so give me her address will yeah?"


I really hope you enjoyed it. This is the actual last chapter.
