“I think I want to kiss you.” Said Wally. Eddie looked at him carefully, heat rising up to his face. Had he heard that correctly?
Wally was staring at him, his eyes so glossy that as his stared into his eyes he saw his own.
“Would you want to right now?” He asked quietly.
A short, shocked sound escaped from Wally’s mouth, and he turned away to stare at the ground. A few long minutes passed by as he seemed to struggle with his answer, and he glanced up at the sky once or twice before answering.
“I don’t know. I’ve become pretty lost when it comes to emotion. I don’t feel much these days. But I feel something for you. And.. I want to kiss you.” Wally said, seemingly stoic and yet so very nervous. His oh-so-famous smile seemed to turn down at the corners in confusion and… fear?
He looked back up at him. “I should be heading to Home now.” Wally said shortly, just as monotonous as ever.
But he didn’t move. “Is everything alright?” He asked. He could feel his face burning.
Wally simply stared to the ground, contemplating, before he tested his words cautiously. “I do not know when I will be ready for… love. Or anything. I don’t think I’ve ever loved anyone in my life like this. At least, I don’t remember having someone like that.”
He stared at Wally, unsure of what to say.
“If I somehow change, if I somehow learn how to feel again, will you please wait for me?” Wally asked, mask falling just a little bit more.
“Please?”
